It had been two days since Mo Yan and the other two rode on their elves. During the journey, they had passed by two small tributaries and a medium-sized river.
Only one of the small rivers was still in good condition. The remaining two were obviously swept by the sea rabbit beasts.
Seeing this with their own eyes, the three of them realized that things might be more complicated than they had imagined.
The rivers leading to Heart Lake had been swept clean, but other than the three of them, they did not see a single forest ranger along the way.
Could it be that the Mystical Alliance did not monitor the huge Heart Lake?
That was obviously impossible!
Then, the final answer was obvious. It was very likely that it was one of the higher-ups in the alliance.
Along the way, Moyan recalled many things, such as the Mystical Alliance's unfriendly attitude towards his arrival at the beginning, Kikuno Heavenly King's acceptance of the dojo assessment mission, and the official media's blunder.
These seemingly ordinary or coincidental things always revealed a thought-provoking intention.
Obviously, the higher-ups in the Mystical Alliance had been in a state of serious internal strife, which indirectly affected Mo Yan.
Now, it was not strange that they were able to cover the sky with one hand.
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Mo Yan and the other two still chose to continue moving forward. Whether the truth of the matter was as Mo Yan had guessed, they would know when they reached Heart Lake.
However, this also sounded the alarm for the three of them. When they were about to reach Heart Lake, they slowed down and began to approach carefully.
Lucario and Soroilhac were sent out to scout the surroundings in case they were discovered by the other party before they reached Heart Lake.
The Geng Gui was also called out this time. It kneaded the space barrier into the shape of a bowl and then placed it over everyone's heads.
In this way, other than leaving a few shallow footprints in the grassy areas, the elves outside would definitely not be able to see them.
"What a strong fishy smell. Heart Lake should be not far ahead," Mark said excitedly as he twitched his nose.
After all, after such a long journey, they were about to reach their destination. It was no wonder that he was so excited.
On the other side, Lucario closed his eyes and relied solely on his waveguide to explore. His actions were clean and efficient.
Soroilhac, on the other hand, turned into an ordinary big-toothed civet and hopped closer to the Heart Lake.
Mo Yan and the others followed the path that the two elves had explored and slowly crept forward. Soon, they arrived behind the shrubs by the lake.
"This … how is this possible?"
Through the bushes, the three of them saw the legendary Heart Lake, but the situation in the lake shocked them.
The lake water was murky, and there was a large amount of trash, tree branches, fish, prawns, and even the corpses of elves floating on the surface.
An unpleasant stench wafted over. The spatial barrier was not completely sealed off, so it could not prevent the smell from entering.
However, such a turbid lake was densely packed with water-type sprites, most of which were sea rabbit beasts and shellless sea rabbits.
The Carp King, the Agate Jellyfish, the Skulking Weasel, the Black Wave, and even the Bogaman and the Fluorescent Fish. The elves were all squeezed in the water, barely surviving.
At this moment, a relatively strong big-tailed civet suddenly swam towards the shore, trying to escape from this damned place.
However, before it could swim halfway, a large number of shellless sea rabbits swarmed over and directly pressed the civet to the bottom of the lake. After that, there was no more movement.
Mo Yan and the others only then noticed that the area at least three meters away from the lake was filled with shellless sea rabbits and sea rabbit beasts. It was only when they went further in that other water-type sprites appeared.
The three of them felt a chill in their hearts. These sea rabbit beasts were definitely doing this consciously, and there was definitely someone controlling them behind the scenes.
"Heart Lake is not small. Let's walk around the lake. We will definitely find something!" Mo Yan instructed in a low voice. George and Mark nodded and followed silently.
Mo Yan and the others walked slowly along the river bank. During this time, they also encountered many wild elves on land.
However, most of them were trembling as they looked towards Heart Lake, clearly unwilling to leave this place where they had always lived.
Along the way, Mo Yan and the others encountered a strong Mook Eagle. It relied on its excellent physique and hunting skills to frequently fly across the water surface, saving some land dwelling elves like the Skulking Weasels and the Big Tailed Civet.
However, compared to the trapped Elf 09, the Mook Eagle's usefulness was negligible. Furthermore, it risked being dragged into the water by the sea rabbit beasts every time. If it was not careful, it would lose its life.
In order to not be exposed, Mo Yan and the others went around the Mook Eagle and continued to explore the lake. Soon, they arrived at a huge water outlet.
At the outlet of the water, a towering steel dam blocked it completely. On top of the dam, there were three things that looked like satellite receivers side by side.
Just as Mo Yan and the others were frowning and guessing what these things were for, three strong bolts of lightning suddenly condensed on the steel needle at the center of the "receiver"!
Beep … Bzzt bzzt!
The fierce lightning bolts brazenly struck the water in the outlet area. The water elves' miserable cries suddenly rang out, shaking the hearts of the three.
Immediately after, three huge steel nets shot out from the dam, enveloping all the elves within the range of the lightning. Then, they were all scooped up.
Under the situation where the water elves were squeezing each other, the empty space after being scooped up was quickly filled up. The elves fled in fear, but they were unable to swim out.
Not long after, there was another flash of lightning. The same process was repeated, and the three elves that were unable to retaliate were scooped up.
What made the three feel even colder was that the unevolved Shellless Sea Rabbits did not have the ability to resist lightning attacks. When they were squeezed into the area of the lightning, they would also be attacked.
However, the sea rabbit beasts at the side were indifferent, firmly guarding the escape space of the water elves. They allowed the dam to release lightning bolts again and again, scooping up net after net of water elves, including the Shellless Sea Rabbits.
"George, don't act rashly and alert the enemy. We have to deal with them all at once, or else there will be endless trouble!"
Mo Yan hugged George, who was trembling with anger and whose eyes were bloodshot. He was afraid that he would break down and rush out.
At this time, Mo Yan was not worried about whether Mark would be impulsive or not. In the face of such a big problem, he was able to calm down.
However, George was able to obtain the recognition of the Snow Rabbi and obtain the power of the Tokiba. This in itself proved that he was full of love and satisfaction towards the elves.
He was not like Sakaki, who would later turn evil. How could he not be angry when faced with this scene in front of him!
"I can hold it in. Let's continue to investigate. After we find out everything, I want to kill these scum …" George clenched his fists, his white knuckles showing how angry he was.
Mark also silently put his hand on George's shoulder, not saying a word.
