Chapter 91 - I do not have any regrets Part 4

Su Lin quickly put everything on and swam into the ocean.

Unlike the roiling wavy surface, the bottom of the ocean was much more calm and serene.

As she went deeper and deeper into the strange waters, the sunlight which was trickling from the surface, slowly ceased its beautiful calligraphy.

The pressure of the endless blue water mass struck her unacquainted body.

Her dormant Stage 1 Soul core power kicked in and spiritual energy slowly circulated in her frail unsteady veins.

Su Lin took a deep breath, suċkɨnġ into her Oxygen tank like a hungry demon and continued her journey downward.

After a few meters in, she was now in the midst of vast nothingness. Schools of fish passed her by, without the slightest of concern, completely oblivious to her presence.

Bizarrely colored sticky plants waved about, clustered together on crustaceous glimmering corals.

The entire view was breathtaking, making one forget that this was the same planet, which was completely overwhelmed by the constant toxic farting of the manmade inventions.

They were only a dull and muted background to Su Lin, whose heart was still stuck somewhere else...

Every minute she spends on this mundane task, is another minute her precious person's muscles and bones are deteriorating.

Su Lin ceaselessly tunneled herself downward, quickly approaching the corners of the igneous rock formation, which emitted faint signs of spiritual energy.

Her listless deep black eyes scanned the roughly sprawled rock clusters, for signs of small bead-like plants, which encapsulated spiritual energy, by combining the Yang energy of the dormant volcano and the Yin energy of the oceanic currents.

Soon she spotted the fluorescent orange colored herbs emitting a shine and glitter proportional to their invaluable medicinal reserve.

Slowly, Su Lin swam closer, trying her best not to damage them by inducing extra pressure and force.

These small and slender herbs already withstood tremendous pressure by stubbornly thriving at the depth of this oceanic atmosphere.

As Su Lin neared the plants, suddenly she sensed a small disturbance in the depths below her.

Water currents were slowly accelerating, indicating the movement of something big and threatening.

Unlike the innocent fish, this king of the ocean did not ignore her presence.

And top of it, it seemed extremely agitated and annoyed with the human who had dared to invade its territory.

Su Lin immediately regretted not bringing any sort of weapon to deal with this kind of situation.

But who knew that a monster found in the depths of the ocean, would encroach this shall region, that too so close to the surface of the island.

She noticed a loose sharp rock near her and tried to jiggle it lose with all the strength she could muster.

Just when she had little to no option left, but to completely collapse and weaponized her soul core, the tall sturdy figure of Monkey stepped in front of her and pierced the vicious animal with a crude serrated knife.

"Hurry up. We should get out of here." He communicated using the device attached to the scuba suit.

Su Lin nodded and quickly harvested the energy-rich herbs. Luckily for them, the herb had grown like a weed, spanning huge areas on the rocky slippery boulders.

She decided to spend a fair bit of time here and harvested as much as she could, almost completely cleaning out the reserve.

She did leave behind some untouched areas so that the herb could self-replenish and nurture itself back.

Without wasting further time, Monkey and Su Lin swam back up, as fast as possible and swiftly left the island in their private jet.

Monkey, who had been skeptical before, was now more trusting and hopeful.

This woman, at least on the surface, seems to be knowing what she was doing.

So far, she hadn't said anything negative and overall it looked like she got what she came here for.

Rabbit only angrily retorted, "Hmph. Whatever. I still don't trust her. She might just come back here and simply cook up some more excuses."

Monkey sighed and was at a loss of words on how to console this indignant brother of his.

His silence only enraged Rabbit further, who angrily spoke, "Listen, Monkey. I have had enough of this nonsense honestly. I am done putting brother in danger like this. Let's just head back to our hideout."

"With time, I am sure brother's condition will improve, one way or the other. At the least, we will be hidden and we can keep him safe."

"Being in a wide-open city like this, makes me feel very unsafe and vulnerable. We should have never agreed to this charade in this first place."

Monkey nodded. What his brother was saying also made sense... He really needed to make a decision soon...

Their entire organization was very vulnerable right now... and that too because of one lousy woman...

Just as Monkey departed with Su Lin and his men in their private jet, three men appeared near the place where Su Lin had harvested the herb.

The man in the middle turned left and spoke in a muffled tone, bȧrėly containing his anger, "How did these outsiders know about this secret location?"
