Chapter 363
Descending to the Underworld
Looking at the yellow lake, Lin Mo smiled and slowly walked closer. As he got closer to the Netherworld Yellow Springs, he could feel a hidden, chilling power constantly penetrating his body.
"It's too cold and damp here. Even the people of the Nine Netherworld Python can't endure it for long. So, except for special circumstances, no one usually comes here, which saves a lot of trouble."
Lin Mo stopped beside the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, squatted down, and put his palm into the lake water. Immediately, a hissing sound was heard, and a kind of deep yellow ice crystals quickly climbed up his arm.
"Son!"
Lin Mo gestured to ignore it, calmly withdrew his hand, and the ice crystals on his hand shattered immediately.
The chilling power of the Nine Netherworlds is truly terrifying; it's unimaginable that such an extremely cold place could exist in this world.
You should know that Little Fairy Doctor has now reached the Nine-Star Dou Zun level and is already immune to heat and cold, but in this Netherworld Yellow Spring, she felt a long-lost chill.
Conversely, Medusa and Qinglin were able to get close to Huangquan because of their physical constitution.
"This is a rare opportunity. Medusa and Qinglin, you two should seize the time to enter the lake for cultivation. Little Fairy Doctor, you will protect them."
"What about you?"
"I'm going to the bottom of the lake to take care of some things."
Before he could finish speaking...
Intense, strange fire rapidly seeped out from countless pores on Lin Mo's body. The terrifying high temperature, upon contact with the cold air, immediately erupted into an overwhelming white mist.
"Pfft!"
Summoning the strange fire, Lin Mo moved and crashed directly into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs, then sped towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs with lightning speed.
"Chichi!"
A figure flashed past like lightning in the murky yellow lake water, flames swirling around him, and each time he came into contact with the surrounding water, a hissing sound would erupt.
Lin Mo's figure swiftly flew towards the bottom of the Yellow Springs. The cold power contained in the Yellow Springs was like a force that could freeze battle qi. Even with the obstruction of the strange fire, Lin Mo still felt that the battle qi that was originally circulating in his body had slowed down.
Although Lin Mo has now advanced to the Dou Sheng realm and can control the energy of a region, the Yin-cold power within the Yellow Springs is unimaginably abundant, and this energy is something Lin Mo cannot control or absorb.
Moreover, as Lin Mo went deeper, that chilling power increased exponentially.
Later, even Lin Mo showed a serious expression on his face.
He circulated his battle qi to disperse the cold, yin energy that had invaded his body.
The strange fire left a trail in the water, and after Lin Mo left, the cold lake water submerged the trail. However, the commotion still alerted the native inhabitants of the lake.
Hiss!
A strange cry rang out and reached Lin Mo's ears. Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged as his soul power spread out, and shadowy figures appeared in his perception.
The shadowy figure appeared to be a strange snake, jet black in color with scarlet eyes and flicking its tongue as it slithered toward Lin Mo at an extremely fast speed.
Lin Mo reacted extremely quickly, throwing a punch behind him. The terrifying force traveled through the water in a strange way, slamming into a dark shadow and blasting it away.
"I never imagined that there would be living beings in the Netherworld."
Looking at the creature that had been blasted into a puddle of blood, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. The chilling power here was such that even the Nine Netherworld Python couldn't stay for long, let alone survive. This situation reminded him of the lizardmen who lived in the magma beneath Canaan Academy.
"Strange places are bound to give rise to strange things."
Engaging with these black snakes was pointless for Lin Mo, except for wasting his own battle qi. Lin Mo moved, his speed suddenly soaring, transforming into a bolt of lightning, tearing through the lake water, and hurtling towards the bottom of the Nine Netherworld with lightning speed.
However, faced with his escape, the strange black snakes quickly turned around and launched a massive pursuit.
"laugh!"
Lin Mo pushed his speed to the limit. Even in deep water, his terrifying speed still created afterimages one after another. But these afterimages were often pierced by the countless water arrows shot from behind by the black snakes.
"What a troublesome thing!"
Seeing that no matter how fast he sped up, these strange snakes still followed him like leeches, Lin Mo's expression turned cold. He glanced behind him, clenched his fist, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm. He then threw it backward, and the flame instantly expanded, turning into a cloud of fire that spread outward.
"Chirp chirp!"
The flames spread into a sea of fire, which even the chilling energy of the place could not extinguish. The strange snakes, unable to stop in time, crashed into the sea of fire one after another. The terrifying heat almost instantly burned the snakes that came into contact with the flames to ashes.
"Chirp chirp!"
Faced with such terrifying flames, the strange snakes also felt fear. After a large number of them died one after another, they finally stopped and dared not go forward again. They could only spew black water arrows from a distance, extinguishing the sea of fire little by little.
As these strange snakes struggled to extinguish the sea of fire, Lin Mo moved swiftly, leaping down and shaking them off completely.
"This Nine Netherworld is indeed no ordinary place. These strange snakes themselves are not very strong, but their cold water arrows are too ferocious. Being hit by so many of them would not be easy for even a half-saint."
After getting rid of these troublesome snakes, Lin Mo finally reached the bottom of the lake.
What appeared before Lin Mo was an extremely vast expanse of sand and gravel, with countless fist-sized pebbles scattered everywhere.
These pebbles emitted a soft, shimmering light, which is why the place appeared so bright.
"We've arrived." Lin Mo glanced around. According to the original plot, Yao Ming, the former patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python clan, was sealed here by his brother.
Lin Mo released his soul perception and began to search carefully.
After a while.
"found it!"
Lin Mo smiled, raised his right hand, and suddenly grabbed in one direction.
Splash!
The sandy ground in the distance collapsed instantly, and as the sand and stones rolled down, an iron chain that was at least a hundred feet long was completely exposed to Lin Mo's sight.
Lin Mo grabbed at the air and pulled outwards with force. As the earth shook, a second, third, and fourth chain appeared in front of him.
At the center of these four enormous iron chains, a person was being bound—a person with a withered, skeletal figure.
