As the sun set and the sky was ablaze with vibrant colors, An Moxue continued her underwater search. She felt something was amiss. She surfaced, paddled her kayak to shore, returned to her space, took a shower, rested, and ate dinner.

After dinner, she left the space again. The two little ones had already returned and, upon seeing An Moxue, circled around her.

As An Moxue strolled along the lake, she observed the terrain and tried to find the places she had overlooked.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into her mind. She took out paper and pen from her spatial dimension and quickly started drawing and scribbling on them. After a while, as darkness fell, she looked around at the surrounding mountains and lakes and led the two little ones into her spatial dimension.

Back in her space, she went straight to the study, where she searched for information and refined the array diagram in her hand.

Late at night, she let out a long sigh, stood up, raised her arms, stretched a few times, and cried out in her heart, "My ancestors! What kind of puzzle game is this? If I guessed right, how many descendants of the Nalan family could get what's under this lake? The formation alone has isolated a large number of people. But whether I'm right or not, we'll know the result after we finish searching tomorrow."

Tomorrow might be very physically and mentally taxing, so An Moxue didn't bother with the two little ones since she saw they were already asleep in the study.

I went to the kitchen, grilled a salt and pepper steak, served it with a mixed fruit dish and a glass of milk, and while eating, I thought about that nursery rhyme and had some guesses.

Even after finishing the meal, I still hadn't figured everything out, so I simply stopped thinking about it. After washing the dishes, I went back to my bedroom, took a rose essential oil bath, lit some calming incense, and then climbed into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

An Moxue slept until she naturally woke up, in case anything unexpected happened that day.

After getting up and having breakfast, An Moxue led the two little ones out of the space. Following the formation she had deduced yesterday, she first walked along the lakeside, reviewing the process as she went to prevent any mistakes. She walked for the entire morning until she reached a very inconspicuous spot by the lake, where the vegetation was much more lush and verdant than in other places.

An Moxue didn't notice anything else. She put on her diving suit and went down. Once down, she discovered something amazing. From the shore, this place looked no different from other places, but once in the water, it was different. The water here was very deep, even deeper than the center of the lake, and colder than other places. If you were to swim naked, even the best swimmer wouldn't be able to reach this depth. Could this be an underground spring?

She quickened her pace, and the sonar audio-visual detector in her hand dived a few more meters deeper into the water. Suddenly, something abruptly appeared in the imager. Because it was still some distance away, it wasn't very clear. An Moxue increased her speed again and dived deeper.

The deeper you go underwater, the greater the pressure becomes, and there are limits to what the human body can withstand. Ever since An Moxue saw the scene in the imaging device, she felt that she would find the treasure soon, and she moved towards her goal despite the enormous pressure in the water.

Finally, just when she felt she was about to give up, she reached the bottom.

There was only a green frog statue, half a meter tall. An Moxue couldn't tell what material it was made of. The whole thing was a translucent green color, which made people feel comfortable. What was amazing was that the frog was completely clean, without a trace of underwater silt. This was very special.

She circled it a few times but found nothing amiss. She tried to hug it, but couldn't move it. She tried again, but it still wouldn't budge.

She tried to put it into her spatial storage, but she couldn't.

Now An Moxue truly felt that it was different. In this desolate mountain wilderness, it was unusual to have such an object underwater. It didn't look very big, but it just wouldn't move no matter what she did.

This is extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary!

The little cutie is this frog, so what does it mean that the little fox is perched on its shoulder? An Moxue took out the little fox and placed it on the frog's shoulder, but it still didn't work.

What does it mean that the little cutie cried so hard and hurt the little fox?

If you get injured, will you bleed?

yes!

My own blood.

An Moxue returned to her space, pricked her finger, touched the little fox, put a band-aid on her hand, and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the space, a magical scene unfolded. The little fox flew towards the frog and landed steadily on its shoulder. A moment later, the frog opened its mouth and spat out bag after bag. An Moxue quickly caught the bags and put them into her space.

Until no more bags came out, the frog gradually disappeared until it was completely gone. An Moxue quickly took the little fox and put it around her neck before swimming towards the surface of the water.

An Moxue returned to the surface, removed the oxygen mask from her face, and gasped for breath, recalling how amazing it was.

She felt like an ignorant child who had stumbled upon the right answer and found it by sheer luck.

She couldn't wait to know what was in the bag. She only had eight space bags in total, and now there were five. She wondered how big the bags were and what was inside.

An Moxue entered the space, quickly took off her diving suit, calmed her wildly beating heart for a while, and then took a few storage bags to the courtyard at the entrance.

She peeled off the band-aid and squeezed out a few drops of blood, which were then dripped onto several bags.

Then she saw what was in the bags. Each bag was as big as a house. Two bags were full of books and parchment scrolls, two bags were full of jade, and one bag was full of gold bars.

An Moxue was completely numb.

She didn't look at the contents again and temporarily placed the storage bag in the study.

She felt that she needed to calm down and that it would be better to go out and have some space, such as taking a stroll by the lake.

An Moxue had a thought and left the space, but the lush green water plants that had just been there were nowhere to be seen, replaced by a barren land.

Is it a phantom maze?

Once the energy dissipates, the formation disappears. So how was it maintained?

Am I still lacking in knowledge and understanding, only grasping one aspect but not the other?

It seems that anyone wanting to enter this area must be of the Nalan family bloodline, including for treasure hunting; otherwise, forget about it.

An Moxue figured out the key point, obtained the treasure, and stopped worrying about other things. Time would be the best proof and everything would become clear.

She couldn't leave empty-handed after coming all this way. Since there was still time, she took out the kayak again, sat on it, took out a handful of cornmeal, scooped out a ladle of well water from her spatial storage, kneaded the cornmeal into small balls, took out her fishing rod, baited the hook, and started fishing, slowly enjoying this wonderful time.
