Li Li found an old English book with tattered pages, which recorded many foreign folk tales.
As they were not fairy tales, many were incomplete, and some legends were only briefly mentioned.
About the Water Monster, the book recorded:
The Water Monster's home lies deep underwater, where shiny treasures are kept.
There was only that.
Li Li spent over two hours thoroughly perusing the book all the way to its last page, but regrettably, he found no further information on the Water Monster.
Nobody else found anything in the books they were looking at either.
Information on the Spring Bear and Autumn Nail Teeth Monster was also missing.
Of course, there were still many unread books where the remaining clues could be hidden, but they would need more time and energy to read through all the books in the study.
This was not feasible. Without food and water, they couldn't continue to exhaust themselves like this.
Everyone reconvened in the attic.
