Dense dark clouds had already covered the entire sky above Dragon Island, with fierce winds howling, thunder and lightning flashing, and raindrops the size of beans pouring down.

Dragon Island's nearshore.

Everywhere was an endless expanse of azure sea, and Bai He was swimming rapidly through the water with the speed of an arrow shot from a bow, looking like a silver flash from above the sky.

But his condition at the moment was not particularly good.

From the moment he escaped from the sapphire-like Small Lake on the outskirts of Dragon Island until now, Bai He had maintained his Dragon Transformation state for nearly two hours.

Because the dragon blood in his body was still relatively thin, Bai He could not complete the Dragon Transformation on his own, but relied on the power of the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon soul within him to stimulate the thin dragon blood in his body to complete the Dragon Transformation.

But after such a long time, the power of the dragon soul in Bai He's body was almost exhausted, and now even his Dragon Transformation state could not be maintained completely.

Even because of the severe lack of dragon soul power in his body, some of the dragon scales on Bai He's face had receded, revealing the fair, jade-like skin beneath the silver scales.

The whistling wind mixed with cold raindrops lashed against Bai He's face, making it ache...

'Hoo... Hoo...'

Bai He gasped heavily. If he couldn't find a place to shelter from the wind and rain, he estimated he might be finished!

The rain was still pouring down, but suddenly, Bai He vaguely glimpsed a huge cave on the steep cliff not far away, so Bai He quickly sped up and swam towards it.

This cave was located more than ten meters above the sea surface, and the rocks below were quite protruding, so it should be possible to climb up.

After reaching the bottom of the cave, Bai He looked at the cave above his head and thought.

Clinging to the protruding rocks, Bai He slowly climbed up a distance, and the cave was already within reach.

Cautiously poking his head out, looking at the dark cave in front of him, Bai He felt quite nervous.

He didn't know if there were any creatures inside. If there were any fierce beasts inside, he would probably be dead in his current state!

But now the storm still showed no signs of stopping. If he couldn't find a place to hide, he would still have to die in the end.

Thinking of this, Bai He gritted his teeth. Anyway, it was all the same, so he might as well take the risk!

Cautiously stepping into the cave, the scene inside the cave was immediately clearly presented in Bai He's silver eyes.

This was a deep and secluded cave, almost impossible to see the end of at a glance, and Bai He was now located in the cave at the entrance.

The cave was huge and empty, with a height of nearly sixty or seventy meters. The surrounding cave walls were very smooth and shimmered with a faint fluorescent light, as if there were faint signs of jadeification.

Several verdant green vines, like coiling dragons, were deeply rooted in the cave walls, and thick vines hung down to the ground and extended in all directions, with narrow and small vine leaves almost covering half of the cave.

And on the ground of the cave, there was a thick layer of dust, which seemed to indicate that no creatures had visited here for a long time, which made Bai He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

AfterliftedDragon Transformation state, all kinds of fatigue that had been suppressed suddenly surged into his heart. Bai He only felt exhausted, and it seemed that he didn't even have the strength to move a finger. Now he just wanted to lie on the ground and sleep for a long time.

But looking at the thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, Bai He still couldn't lie down no matter what, so he had to sigh and tear off a section of green vine to sweep the dust on the ground, clearing out an open space.

Because the clothes he was wearing were already soaked and had a salty taste, Bai He took off his clothes and hung them on the green vines to dry.

In order to be able to sleep a little more comfortably, Bai He also tore off several long green vines and coiled them on the ground to use as a bed, and then slept on it.

After experiencing a day of life-and-death crisis, Bai He now only felt that his body and spirit were exhausted. As soon as he lay down on the prepared 'bed', he fell into a deep sleep.

The weather on the island has always been unpredictable. After experiencing a whole night of storm baptism, the next morning, the weather had cleared up.

The rising sun cast its fiery morning glow through the cave entrance, illuminating Bai He's face and gently waking him.

He stretched languidly, slowly rising from his crude rattan bed on the ground. Facing the bright sunlight streaming into the cave, Bai He walked to the entrance.

'Looks like another beautiful day!'

Bai He squinted, raising a hand to shield his eyes from the direct sunlight, thinking with a sense of gratitude.

Having narrowly escaped death, Bai He felt as if everything before him was exceptionally beautiful.

Turning back into the cave, Bai He felt the clothes he had hung on the rattan to dry the night before. Hmm… still not dry!

Because of the rainstorm last night, the temperature had dropped sharply. From the muggy heat before the rain to the chilling cold after it stopped, it had plummeted almost vertically!

And due to the lack of sunlight, the cave was naturally somewhat cold and damp, so it was normal for them not to be dry.

But what good would it do if they were dry?

Bai He figured that if he were to leave, his clothes would inevitably get soaked anyway, so he simply took down the still half-damp clothes and put them on.

Even though there was no one around, Bai He still felt a little uncomfortable being almost naked, wearing only a crude skirt woven from vines, especially his lower body, which was filled with a faint chill...

Since there were no tools for making fire in the cave, Bai He didn't plan to go to the sea to catch fish to eat. After all, he couldn't stomach eating them raw.

After admiring the sunrise over the sea for a while, Bai He decided to venture deeper into the cave to see what was inside.

Before transmigrating, Bai He had always hoped that one day he could travel around and see the magnificent scenery of the world, especially the legendary, ingenious caves, but unfortunately, he never had the chance.

After all, he was so poor at that time that he could barely afford to eat, so how could he have the opportunity to travel...

Now he finally had the chance, even if it was in another world, and he didn't want to miss it.

He didn't need to prepare any lighting tools like torches. Relying on his night vision and the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon soul within him, which had recovered after a night's rest, Bai He walked directly into the cave.

Passing through the cave entrance, Bai He formally entered the cave.

This was a huge and long cave, nearly a hundred meters high, but after walking for a long time, he still couldn't see the end.

As Bai He went deeper into the cave, the surroundings finally ceased to be just monotonous, smooth cave walls, and various unique landscapes of karst caves began to appear.

For example, the silky, soft, milky white stone flags hanging high on the cave ceiling, the jagged stalactites like dog teeth, the paper-thin goose pipes, and the various stalagmites that seemed to 'grow' out of the ground.

As Bai He went deeper, the cave finally reached its end.

It was as if he had come to another world. Tens of meters long stalactites, emitting a faint glow, hung everywhere on the cave walls above. Stalagmites of various shapes stood everywhere like weeds. In front of him, a rushing underground river flowed by, not knowing where it led.

And on the opposite side of the river, a huge figure nearly a hundred meters tall was lying motionless on a stone platform.

Bai He looked closely and was shocked to discover that it was actually an ancient ferocious beast that had died many years ago—an Eight-Armed Evil Dragon!
