Following the cold and cold Yao Qi, Lu Chen's figure that Soul Lock determined, Lu Chen's figure quickly traveled through the intricate underground cave.
His body seemed to have lost weight, turning into a blurry afterimage running fast against the ground. With a slight tap of his toes on the slippery rocks or raised stalagmites, he could slide dozens of feet away silently like a ghost, and the breeze brought by it was not even enough to move the dust on the ground.
When encountering several low-level Demon Beast along the way, they often only see a blur before their eyes, and the figure disappears into the depths of the cave, as if it had never appeared before.
The deeper you go, the thicker the water vapor in the air becomes, and the temperature drops sharply. The cold chill is like a fine needle tip, trying to penetrate the body True Qi and penetrate into the bone marrow.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Chen's figure suddenly stopped at the entrance of a huge cave, as if being pulled by an invisible rope.
The aura around him was completely restrained.
Before my eyes, it suddenly became clear.
This is a huge underground space that is the size of several martial arts arenas. Countless thousand-year-old stalactites hang down from the ceiling, and in the center of the space is a deep, dark pool that cannot be seen to the edge.
The water in the pool is not ordinary clear or turbid, but appears to be extremely dark like solid ink that swallows light.
The water was eerily calm, without a single ripple, but it exuded a biting chill that made one's hair stand on end and a strange smell mixed with rot and fishy smell.
What made Lu Chen's eyes even more focused was that a layer of black Sha Qi visible to the naked eye, floating like tulle, lingered on the water surface.
When Sha Qi accidentally touched the stalactite tip hanging down from the cave ceiling, it immediately made a soft "chichi" sound. The hard rock formed over millions of years was corroded into dense honeycomb-shaped holes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Highly toxic! And extremely corrosive!
Lu Chen's eyes were slightly focused, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.
He did not act rashly at all, but like the most patient hunter, he stood quietly in the shadow of the shore, condensing the power of his soul at the peak of his Meridian Opening realm into an invisible, yet extremely tough filament, and carefully probed into the dark water that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
As soon as the power of the soul entered the water, Lu Chen felt a huge resistance that was as cold as ice and as sticky as glue, as if what was penetrated was not water, but some kind of asphalt that had not yet solidified.
The cold energy contained in the pond water was extremely aggressive, and even actively entangled itself in it, trying to erode and freeze his soul perception.
His mind was as strong as iron, motionless, controlling the filaments of his soul, sinking unswervingly into the depths of darkness.
Ten feet... twenty feet... thirty feet...
In the absolute darkness and silence at the bottom of the pool, Lu Chen's soul finally saw clearly the terrifying existence entrenched there.
That's a huge beast!
It is like a sleeping ancient monster, its huge body coiled into a dark hill.
Just the exposed part is more than twenty feet long. The snake is as thick as a bucket and is covered with layers of palm-sized black scales. Each one shines with a cold metallic luster, making it appear indestructible.
And at the top of its ferocious head, there is a small protrusion like a bone horn, silently telling the story of its extraordinary bloodline.
[Demon: Nine Nether Mystic Water Python]
[Realm: Meridian Opening realm peak]
[Talent: Water Control, Poison]
[Weakness: Seven-inch reverse scale, fear of the power of Zhiyang thunder and fire]
On System Panel, a concise and fatal message emerged.
Nine Nether Mystic Water Python, Meridian Opening peak level Great Demon!
In this huge underground water area, it is the absolute overlord.
Its combat power, with the blessing of water, is enough to deal with the warriors who are new to Xiantian!
Lu Chen's brain is running rapidly, like a precise abacus, deducing several plans in an instant.
It is not advisable to attack by force, and you need to be cautious when luring them. Only sneak attacks, which can kill with one blow, are the best strategy!
Time flows in silence, with only the "chichi" sound of Sha Qi corroding rocks, like a countdown to death.
However, just when Lu Chen was patiently waiting for the best opportunity--
The "hills" entrenched at the bottom of the pool seemed to be aware of the subtle prying eyes of the soul.
The pair of huge snake eyes that had been tightly closed, like two pale green lanterns, suddenly opened in the absolute darkness without any warning!
Two cold, cruel, and emotionless green rays of light, like sharp swords, instantly pierced the dark pool, as if they had crossed the distance of space, locking firmly on the shadow where Lu Chen was hiding!
"Crash--boom!"
The originally dead black water suddenly exploded, as if a huge boulder had been thrown into it! Nine Nether Mystic Water Python's huge head covered with ferocious scales rose into the sky with a spray of black and smelly water all over the sky!
It didn't test anything and opened its bloody mouth suddenly, revealing its pale fangs.
"Whoops--!"
A venom arrow that was condensed to the extreme and showed a dark green color of death tore through the air and emitted a piercing scream. It shot directly in the direction of Lu Chen at a speed that exceeded the ability of the naked eye to capture!
So fast!
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip! The moment the venom left his mouth, the True Qi in his body exploded!
The body moved three feet laterally to the left without any movement!
"Tsk--!"
The venom arrow passed by his afterimage and accurately hit the rock wall behind him.
There was no deafening explosion, only a numbing sound of corrosion. The hard rock melted and collapsed rapidly, like encountering Blazing Sun ice and snow, forming a bottomless black hole, with white smoke rising from the edge and a fishy smell.
