Sorcerer in the Women's World

Chapter 36: There was Something under the Water!

Welsh didn’t say that to change the topic, but he really felt that something was wrong.

This morning, when he had finished his meditation and his spiritual senses were the most sensitive, he suddenly felt that there was something dangerous waiting for them in the depths of this vast Borneo rainforest.

He looked at Liz in front of him with a serious face. “This feeling is like on the African Savannah, when the antelope is drinking water, it suddenly feels like there’s some terrifying predator looking at it under the muddy water…”

He thought about it carefully and sighed. “It’s too similar. It’s too similar.”

Liz listened to Welsh’s words and suddenly recalled that she and the others were also on the water. The water surface was also extremely turbid…

Under the deep water surface, it was as if there was really a huge underwater beast hidden. For a moment, she was shocked and quickly left the water surface.

But soon, she was influenced by the laughter of the surrounding mercenaries.

She looked at the worried Welsh and said, “We have so many people! And so many weapons. Even if there is a huge underwater beast, it won’t be able to take advantage.”

Welsh looked at the people around him and nodded reluctantly. But what he didn’t say was that apart from the depths of the rainforest, he also felt that something was wrong in other places.

Liz saw that Welsh was looking much better, and she was ready to continue her relaxing swim.

But when she saw the muddy waters of Borneo, she immediately thought of what Welsh had said earlier. For a moment, she wasn’t in the mood to continue swimming. She was ready to turn around and return to the cabin to rest.

Welsh looked at everything around him. Mercenaries, guides, bodyguards… He kept feeling that something was wrong. However, he could not tell what was wrong.

As he watched Liz’s graceful figure disappear from the deck, Welsh also felt that it was better to go back and train. Though he used to be a dignified Archmage, but that was still the past.

Things that could be easily settled in the past might not be so easy now.

…

“Mr. Welsh, come out for dinner… Mr. Welsh…”

When it was almost evening, Welsh, who had been immersed in his training, was suddenly woken up by a call. It was Liz’s voice.

He raised his head to look at the sky outside and realized that it was indeed late. So he decided to put aside his training and go out for dinner.

On the way to the dining hall, Welsh happened to see those who were relaxing and playing, they were climbing up the deck one by one.

Everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces.

“Ah…”

Suddenly, just as Welsh and Liz were about to walk across the deck, a scream was heard.

The two of them looked at each other and turned their heads towards the scream at the same time.

They saw a woman, who looked like a bodyguard, suddenly walk quickly towards Liz with an anxious expression. She whispered a few words into Liz’s ear.

Welsh stood closer and could also hear a few words.

“There was one… went down at two o’clock in the afternoon… It’s almost seven o’clock now… But we haven’t seen him up yet. It’s very likely that he has run away or has… disappeared.”

Someone had gone missing, it was very likely that he was dead!

Hearing this news, Liz, who was a business-minded person, was momentarily stunned.

In the past, when she was in the family, she always discussed business with different people. Although it was also a battle of wits, and she would suffer heavy losses if she wasn’t careful, she had never experienced a situation where people would suddenly die. For a moment, she did not know what to do.

Welsh looked at her troubled expression and immediately knew what she was thinking. However, if there was a problem at this time, he could not hesitate and had to solve it immediately.

Welsh immediately said to the bodyguard who reported the news, “First, get everyone to gather on the deck and count the number of people to determine who has disappeared. Check if he had really disappeared, or if he just went back to his room to rest…”

Seeing that it was Welsh who gave the order, the bodyguard hesitated for a moment. Should she listen to him?

“Hurry up and go…”

After a period of confusion, Liz quickly came to her senses. She heard Welsh’s suggestion and felt that it was very reasonable. Seeing that the bodyguard was actually looking at her, she was instantly angered and instructed her to immediately do as Welsh said.

After half an hour of counting, they finally found out that the missing person was one of Liz’s bodyguards.

The bodyguard went swimming and had fun with the crowd in the afternoon, but was no where to be found when the rest came back. She was not found in any corner of the cabin either.

According to her companions, the missing bodyguard was very good at swimming and would not have any danger of drowning. And even if she was drowning, she would still have time to call for help.

It was because the rain had not started in Borneo yet, so the water was not turbulent.

But how could she have disappeared without a trace?

The Sun was about to set, and in less than half an hour, the sky would turn dark.

Welsh knew that there were only two possibilities regarding the bodyguard. Either she had met with an accident and died, or she felt that this trip to Borneo was too dangerous and had already fled on her own.

However, this place was at the entrance to the heart of the Borneo rainforest. The nearest village would require nearly two days’ walk to get there. In addition, the terrain of Borneo was complicated…

Therefore, escaping here would only lead to death.

Then there was only one possibility, an accident had caused her not to be able to return now.

Since it was not the rainy season yet and the ship was still unable to enter the jungle, coupled with the fact that a human life was at stake here, Welsh sent everyone out to look for her.

In order to prevent accidents this time, Welsh asked everyone to form a team of three, each holding a smoke screen that could be used as a signal. It was convenient for the team to ask for help if something went wrong, and get their teammates’ support.

Welsh looked at the calm surface of the water, and suddenly, everyone’s figures were reflected on the water. He muttered softly, “I had a bad feeling just now, and someone went missing immediately. This trip to Borneo is really…”

…

After half an hour, the sky was almost completely dark. Even the headlights at the bow of the ship could not light up the surroundings.

Looking at this scene, Welsh frowned and turned to shout to the people around him, “Send a signal to tell them to come up.”

“Whoosh…”

The people around him immediately took out a firework and shot it into the sky.

In a short while, the ship was surrounded by people returning. Welsh silently counted the number of people on the ship and found that the number of people who had returned was the same as when they had gone.

There was still no sign of the missing bodyguard.

Although Welsh was a little disappointed, it was not out of his expectations. He had called everyone back because the sky was too dark and also to prevent any accidents.

“Ah…”

Just as everyone was taking turns to board the deck, a sudden scream attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

They saw a woman in a diving suit swimming desperately towards the deck with a terrified expression,

As she swam, she screamed.

“There’s something under the water! There’s something under the water!”
