The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2417

Carson Flores was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.

This place isn’t like the concept of a safe zone in online games. For the Holy Spring Secret Realm, this area only has value when the Secret Realm refreshes. When it doesn’t refresh, every place is the same.

When does the Secret Realm refresh?

No one knows!

If you don’t know when it refreshes, why would you stay in the safe zone?

You came in to explore and hunt for treasure, not to waste time in the safe zone. If you want to waste time, wouldn’t staying outside the Secret Realm be safer?

Perhaps only someone injured or in another special situation, needing a longer stay, and who happens to be nearby, would come to the safe zone for rest to avoid being "refreshed" during their stay.

Who else would come to the safe zone to waste time?

Carson Flores asked, "Where is this place for healing injuries you mentioned?"

Draelor Loxley pointed to the water area ahead: "In the center of this water area, there is an island. Underwater, there’s a huge cave. Inside the cave, there are many pits like hot springs, and the water in these pits can heal injuries. As long as a person soaks in it, their injuries will recover quickly."

Carson Flores pondered: "Many pits with healing spring water, like open-air hot springs?"

"Yes."

Draelor Loxley explained: "I asked him how he found this place. He said it was a magical treasure with special functions that guided him, leading him to accidentally discover this place. Furthermore, he said, based on the residual traces in the cave, that he’s not the only one who knows about this place."

Carson Flores asked in surprise, "Are there others who know of this place?"

Draelor Loxley thought for a few seconds and replied: "How should I put it, the island itself is pretty strange, as if it was man-made. Originally, it should have been more like a mountain, but for some reason, this place became a lake, and then the mountain got submerged by the lake, with the cave buried underwater."

"This island or this mountain was originally meant for healing injuries, which is why there’s a saying that the Holy Spring Secret Realm is a toy or a magical treasure of a great figure."

Flowing Cloud smiled and said, "Whether it’s a toy or a magical treasure, we just use it to heal our injuries and have no intention of exploring the secrets of this Secret Realm."

Floating Cloud nodded: "Let’s go."

Carson Flores worriedly asked, "If Ghost True Sage is healing inside and we run into him and a fight breaks out, won’t the whole place be destroyed?"

Floating Cloud and Ghost True Sage, such formidable beings, a life-and-death battle, the power must be extraordinary.

Draelor Loxley answered, "No fighting!"

Carson Flores turned his head in surprise: "No fighting?"

Draelor Loxley explained: "At the entrance, there is a Stele that says, ’Those who privately fight and damage the Holy Spring shall die.’

Carson Flores’s eyes widened suddenly: "Is someone constantly watching this place?"

Draelor Loxley shook his head: "I don’t know, but whoever set these rules here must be an extraordinary figure. Who would dare to offend them? Besides, although there may be others who know about this place, it can’t be too many. Everyone comes here for healing and survival, who would fight inside?"

Carson Flores frowned: "So if we saw him, we wouldn’t dare make a move either?"

Draelor Loxley responded: "Use a Spell to conceal your true identity and enter. It’s quite normal to not want to be discovered in such a place. But don’t worry, even if he conceals his identity with a Spell, I can still recognize him."

Having said that, everyone no longer spoke much and headed north.

Before long, everyone saw the island, with sparse trees, not much outstanding.

Diving below the island, descending at least a thousand meters, bypassing a ridge, there appeared a point of light before them.

Approaching the light, it gradually expanded in view. It was a Spell barrier, blocking the lake water, emitting tiny white sparks.

Everyone passed through the Spell barrier, as if passing through a curtain of wind, and suddenly the view brightened.

A massive cave extended into the mountain’s belly, and under their feet was a flat stone staircase.

Along the stone staircase, not far away, they saw a stone Stele about four or five meters high, with words inscribed, precisely the Stele Draelor Loxley mentioned.

Floating Cloud glanced at the words on the Stele, his gaze becoming rather grave, and conveyed a message: "The person who inscribed this Stele is very strong!"

Carson Flores was not surprised; how could the creator of such a place not be strong?

Draelor Loxley held a magical treasure in his hand, similar to a Jade Stone, faintly glowing.

Draelor Loxley raised his head with excitement, conveying a message: "He’s here!"

Everyone was invigorated; Draelor Loxley was indeed correct!

"Find a spot convenient for observing the exit, heal first, and wait for him to appear!"

Everyone walked along the path for a while, finding several adjacent spring pools.

The spring pools were no different from open-air hot springs, except for a faint fragrance in the air, with no other distinctive features.

Carson Flores stood by a spring pool, glanced at it, his look subtle.

What is this?

A cave hot spring spa?
