Chapter 36 - Water dragon part 2

Serenity searched through the bags and gear of her dead party, she takes the big bag she was given and empties it. She then packs it full of all of the nessesities and good quality gear. She also packs some of the crafting resources in the bag. She grabs a maul/staff looking weapon from the mage that was apart of the party. She leaves all of the bodies and supplies behind taking whatever she could fit in the big bag on her back.

She keeps walking foward through the rainforest. She sticks to already made paths and gaps between the trees and plants. Making sure she doesn't hurt any of the plants or step on any of the vines or roots. She eventually takes a break to eat some food, she avoids any of the puddles or pools of water. After an hour or so she gets back up and keeps going, walking for hours the forest stays dimly lit without changing, like the sun never moves Serenity takes note of this.

She keeps walking around, till she stumbles into an old cobbled stone building. She investigates the surrounding from a distance as she remembers reading about how old buildings have often been trapped to stop invaders. After a few hours she decides to walk closer after confirming there are no moving things inside. She walks towards the door and investigates it, as she pokes the door with a stick. As the stick touches the door hinge, the door swings open and the building floor falls through. Serenity looks into the building into the hole and sees what seams to be a cave entrance.

She sets up camp outside the building and takes a break. She pulls out a book on fresh water sources in nature, she reads the book, she finds that typically plants and more so trees store water in them, but also purify the water.

If she could make something to tap into the trees bark and collect the water. She empties her bag and searches through the various tools and weapons she got from her party dying.

She pulls apart an old spear, cutting the handle into a short piece. She hollows it out and grabs a small ornamental knife, pulling it apart she puts it in the the spear handle. "This won't be very effective but it's better than nothing" she says to her self. She takes her contraption and a small dagger. Walking to the nearest tree, she cuts a small X in the bark and stabs the contraption into the bark. She puts a small cup under the contraption to collect the water.

She relaxed around for a few hours waiting for the water to be collected, she spent it reading books.

After about 2 hours she went back to check on the water, the cup was about half full. She packed up the contraption in the backpack and reluctantly drank the water, as she started drinking it she realised that it is actually really sweet and refreshing.

She grabs a long rope and ties it to a nearby tree using a knot she read about in a book ages ago. She uses the rope to climb down into the cave entrance, using the rope as a guide of where she has been before.

As she keeps on moving through the cave it gets darker but also colder as she keeps going she stumbles into a huge opening where a glowing crystal stands tall emitting a huge crushing aura.

"Ding… all water element blessing have increased by 1 power level" Serenity hears in her head. She stands there in shock as just walking in this room gave her a power up.

She decides to take a break in this cave opening.

After about half an hour Serenity hears in her head again "Ding… received a new blessing. Water Whip."
