It's freezing cold when you enter the water, and the chill instantly wraps around your whole body.
But with Hu Long's current physique, this bit of coldness is nothing.
He swung his body and began to dive.
Swimming is a skill that Hu Long knew in his previous life.
Although there is no display on Primordial Plain Panel, with the strong and coordinated physical fitness now, there is no feeling of jerkiness during paddling and kicking.
This lake, viewed from above, looks like a huge dark blue round eye, looking up at the sky.
At this moment, he was falling deep into the pupil of this "eye".
The water is exceptionally clean and almost transparent.
There wasn't even a fish in sight, and it was completely silent.
After diving about thirty meters, the surrounding light dimmed significantly.
He pressed the switch on the side of the diving mask, and a beam of light shot out from his forehead, illuminating a small area of water in front of him.
With the light, he could clearly see the underwater environment.
Deeper at the bottom, there is a crack as dark as ink.
That should be the entrance to the underground river below.
Once you get close, you will most likely be sucked in.
Fortunately, the crack is not too big.
Hu Long did not choose to approach, but turned around to explore and explore the other side.
suddenly.
His eyes narrowed.
Under the unexpected light beam, there was an extra yellow thing.
Most of it is hidden in the sand, but it can be vaguely identified as clothes.
Scanning the beam, he saw several other clothing-like things on the side, all of which were buried in the sand, with only a few corners exposed.
Saw this scene.
He frowned.
But it didn't come close.
It's close to an underground river and is too dangerous.
So, he swam in another direction.
Look for the possible presence of Snake Bone and guard against possible attacks by certain snakes.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of bubbles flowing through the water.
However, he didn't swim very far.
Just then.
An extremely huge black shadow suddenly broke into the edge of the beam!
Hu Long's figure froze, and the pupils behind the diving goggles suddenly shrank.
Just because, less than five meters in front of him, there was a huge black shadow quietly dormant in the deeper water, with a blurred outline.
He calmed his mind, carefully adjusted the angle, and let the light slowly move over.
The light finally exposed the entire black shadow.
It was actually the skeleton of a snake, as huge as a sunken house, entrenched faintly at the bottom of the water, with only pale bones left.
The bones took on a strange pitch-black color, as if they had been soaked in ink for a long time, or as if they had been completely carbonized by some force.
Fortunately.
It had obviously been dead for a long time, and all the flesh and blood on its body was gone. Only the huge skeleton remained, maintaining the entrenched posture when it was alive, with its empty eye sockets staring ahead.
And his current position is right in front of its Shekou.
Suddenly I saw something like this underwater.
Plus the surrounding environment.
It made Hu Long feel a creepy feeling in his heart.
"Could it be that those Snake Bones before were all the children of this giant snake?"
Hu Long's eyelids twitched slightly.
A guess flashed through my mind.
An urge to turn around and flee surged up from his spine like ice water.
This is an instinct engraved deep in the biological genes, constantly warning him.
This feeling is like being in a zoo, even though there is a solid cage, when the beast suddenly lets out a deafening roar.
Still, his heart would shrink involuntarily and he would take half a step back.
There was no need to think at all, the body had already made a dodge action in advance.
This thing was absolutely terrifying when it was alive.
However, he finally suppressed this impulse.
After confirming that there were no signs of life on this giant thing, Hu Long cautiously approached.
The light carefully scans Snake Bone, and more details are revealed.
I saw that the dark bones were covered with cracks as dense as a spider web, as if a piece of porcelain was about to break.
What's even more shocking is that its thick spine was completely broken in many places, shattered into several pieces, and sank scattered in the surrounding mud.
This scene does not look like natural decay, but rather seems to have suffered some unimaginable horrific blow, with the bones shattered from the inside out.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but after getting closer.
The chill in the water became stronger.
At this level, ordinary people would be afraid of being frozen and sinking to the bottom of the water as long as they came within one meter.
"This thing should also be Strange Specter..."
Think about this.
Because of the previous idea of quickly obtaining Source Value.
Hu Long raised a finger and gently touched a broken gap in the giant snake's skeleton in front of him with his fingertip.
--Tsk!
This moment.
It's like pouring cold water on a hot iron.
The next second.
An astonishing cold current flowed into his body along his fingertips, and his fingers seemed to have lost all feeling.
Compared to the wisps of coldness I got before, it was several times stronger.
[Source Value+1 wisp]
[Source Value+1 wisp]
[Source Value+1 wisp]
Silver writing continued to emerge.
This time, the growth rate of Source Value is far faster than ever before.
In the past, there were always reminders of Source Value arriving at a few o'clock in the morning.
This is the first time single digits have appeared.
In a blink of an eye.
Half a minute passed.
--Crack!
A soft sound brought Hu Long back to consciousness.
The astonishing chill in my hands has disappeared.
At the same time.
I saw that the giant snake skeleton that originally stood in front of me seemed to be severely decayed. It was broken from the middle, and all the bones in the body were shattered and collapsed.
Falling on the sand below, there is an extremely large area of turbid water.
At the same time.
In the distance, there is the location of the crack in the underground river.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a roaring sound that suddenly exploded.
See this.
Hu Long It's too late to think too much.
His legs swung, and his figure was like a sharp sword, moving quickly upwards.
Wow!
The water surface breaks.
Hu Long climbed out of it all wet.
I took off my diving goggles and wiped the water from my face.
He lowered his head and glanced at the lake below.
I saw an ink-like silt spreading underneath the originally clear water.
Turn clear water into turbid water.
"Is it a coincidence, or is it because I absorbed Source Value?"
Hu Long's eyes flashed.
I have used Source Value before but this has never happened.
Think about it.
He stepped back.
Keep some distance from the water's edge.
At the same time, with a thought in my heart, I called out Primordial Plain Panel.
Look at the last Source Value column below.
[Source Value:45.91 wisps]
This time it directly reached forty-five rays Source Value.
Subtracting the previous nine rays, that is to say, this giant snake alone provides him with thirty-six rays.
This is already a lot.
But Hu Long always feels that it should be more than this. You must know that Snake Bone, the size of a bracelet, has five strands.
This giant snake the size of a house should have fifty strands of Source Value. Of course, it may be because the giant snake is incomplete. After all, I saw several bones sinking in the sand before.
"I don't know what the essence of Source Value is, and whether it will decrease with the passage of time..."
