Shiro: The Secret Hero
175. Broad Ocean

The next day, Shiro woke up from his sleep very fresh. He started a simple breakfast and packed up. He was preparing to enter the Gate that was inside the lake.

Shiro changed his clothes suitable for diving.

BURRR~ Shiro plunged into the lake. He dived and swam to the location of the Gate.

Without too much thought, Shiro immediately entered the Gate. He suddenly appeared in thin air, Shiro instantly took out Frost Wing to fly.

He could see all the sights inside the Gate. As far as the eye could see, Shiro could only see the endless ocean that pierced through the horizon.

Seeing this, Shiro frowned: "It looks like it will be troublesome."

What Shiro said, was true. Of all the Gate's environments, only the enemies that were in the water were extremely difficult to deal with. Especially the vast ocean environment.

This was not only Shiro's personal opinion, but almost all of the heroes said so. Even in school lessons, this type of Gate includes a Gate that needs extra attention.

Inside a Gate like this, which faced not only enemies, the environment was also included. Humans will not be able to breathe in water for long periods of time without any support tools or skills.

Due to this mobility limitation, it was difficult to find the exact location of the enemy. In addition, the fight is also passive. It is difficult to attack because it always survives the attacks of very strong enemies. This is what makes this type of Gate so annoying.

Shiro then turned his head towards where he had fallen before.

The monsters were likely in the ocean, and the Gate door was in the air. That means the enemy will likely not be able to get out of this Gate.

However, the Gate will continue to evolve. If the Gate has turned red, the environment in which the Gate appears will begin to slowly break down.

Fortunately, there has been no Gate with an environment in space. If anything, the human heroes including Shiro could only surrender and accept fate.

Shiro floated long enough in the air, he thought of what plan he needed to use to be able to complete this Gate.

Moreover, he only had 1 item that could be used to aid him in fighting underwater. That item was the Mermaid Tears he obtained from the auction of the Black Market.

It was impossible to just use this item without knowing the exact location of the enemy.

"If I could freeze the ocean!" muttered Shiro slowly.

Shiro tries his idea to freeze the ocean by throwing Ice Javelin.

The ocean is frozen, but it only freezes with a diameter of 1 meter. Before it finally began to slowly melt and fuse with the vast ocean.

Seeing his experiments, Shiro knew that his efforts would fail. It was impossible to freeze the ocean with a low-level skill like Ice Javelin.

"Feather Arrow!"

Shiro flapped his Frost Wing wings to attack the ocean with ice feathers. The ocean begins to freeze, although it is not extensive, but can at least last a long time.

He intends to go down to the location of the frozen sea water. Because it was impossible to remain silent in the air. He needs to check the conditions of the surrounding ocean.

Shiro dropped off the slightly frozen ocean location, he canceled the Frost Wing skill that was in its weak phase.

Shiro tried to measure the approximate distance between sea level and the sea floor. Roughly speaking, he was able to judge the shortest distance between the two to reach 200 meters. It was still the closest one, for the deepest one might already be within the range of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, Shiro still did not know the exact distance.

Judging from the environment on the seabed, it was no different from the ocean in general. Sea water is still salty with many corals and fish that pacing through without any plastic waste as well.

Shiro's foothold began to lose volume, he could not stand here anymore.

Shiro took out several Javelin Ice and then threw them together in one direction in front of him. Some of the Javelin Ice that hit the sea made the sea water froze wide enough.

Shiro jumped onto the ice mainland while he made it. Then he began to re-examine the location on the surrounding seabed.

After the Ice Land almost melted, Shiro again threw some Javelin Ice to the location of the sea water in front of him. Shiro does this over and over again in search of a trail of life that is likely the main monster in the Gate.

Shiro did this for a few hours. He was very tired with this method. So he decided to rest for a while and use another method to find information, namely by diving.

After resting and replenishing his energy, Shiro then took out his equipment forever like underwater goggles then he then started diving.

The pressure of the sea water was very strong, making Shiro not dare to dive too deep. He continued to swim and see the environment within the ocean.

Small fish swim scattered with the arrival of Shiro. As for Shiro, he still had not found any clues either. He returned to the surface to take a nearly exhausted breath.

Shiro took a breath of a few seconds on the surface, before he finally dived back into the water. He did this repeatedly until he could find a clue.

1 hour passed.

Shiro finally stopped for a moment to rest.

He had been diving continuously this entire hour without getting any results. Although he once met a shark that is quite ferocious, but he can kill the shark very easily.

Shiro believes that this Shark is just an ordinary monster in this Gate is not the main monster in this Gate. There is no way the main Gate monster in a Gate is that weak.

Shiro rested long enough, he even thought of giving up this time. Perhaps contacting the Hero Association and asking for their help was a wise choice.

"Fiuh~ Time to return!"

Shiro decided that asking the Hero Association for help was the right choice. He wanted to get out of the gate and ask for their help.

It didn't need much, he needed someone who had the ability to support him moving around in the water with ease.

There was no way he would have to go in and out of the water repeatedly just to take a breath. It will only make the movement slow.

Or if the Hero Association was busy, Shiro intended to buy materials that could be used to track down the main monster or materials that could help him breathe underwater.

Shiro intends to return to the location where he entered the Gate.

When he flew low towards the location of the ripple Gate. Shiro saw a fairly large black shadow in the distance that was moving at an extremely fast speed. Faster than most fish Shiro knows.

Shiro became interested in the shadow, so he decided to chase after the black shadow and catch it.
