Chapter 34
"Discouragement" Warning!
That golden eye was staring intently at him in the darkness.
The distance is less than five meters.
Huge, cold, devoid of any living emotions, only a detached indifference that transcends life and death.
In that instant, Jiang Han felt as if the blood in his body was about to freeze.
It's not because of fear.
It's because it's cold.
Extreme cold!
【warn!warn! 】
High concentration of "yin energy field" detected! Current water temperature: -40 degrees Celsius (liquid, not freezing)!
[Host's body temperature is rapidly decreasing! Hypothermic shock is expected in 30 seconds!]
The system's red alert frame bounced wildly on my retina, almost obscuring that golden eye.
Jiang Han's eyebrows instantly formed a layer of white frost.
This cold is not a physical low temperature, but a kind of "evil aura" that can penetrate to the bone marrow and freeze the soul.
For an ordinary person, their heart would burst due to sudden arrest within a millisecond of entering the water.
But Jiang Han did not.
Om-!
The Qilin tattoo on his chest seemed to sense a deadly threat and suddenly lit up with a scorching red light.
The Qilin blood within his body began to boil, like a nuclear reactor operating at full power, frantically generating heat.
sizzle...
The water on his skin surface actually boiled from his body heat, producing a string of tiny bubbles.
Just then.
The golden eye moved.
Boom!
The water was violently churning.
Two enormous black shadows, like deep-sea torpedoes, crashed into Jiang Han with a resolute momentum!
It's Black Demon and Little White!
Instead of attacking Jiang Han, they stood on his left and right, using their massive bodies to block his path.
"roar……"
"Waaah..."
A low, mournful cry echoed in the water, making Jiang Han's eardrums ache.
The black python's ferocious face was filled with terror. It cautiously opened its mouth, gently bit Jiang Han's clothes, and desperately pulled them upwards.
Xiao Bai was so anxious that it nudged Jiang Han's chest with its head. Large "tears"—a special kind of mucus—were overflowing from its usually fierce vertical pupils.
They are trembling.
It was shaking like a leaf.
Jiang Han could clearly sense that these two prehistoric behemoths, who were also at the top of the food chain, were currently experiencing an extreme fear originating from the depths of their blood.
They are afraid of that thing below.
Even though they were terrified, they still rushed down.
To stop him.
To prevent him from going to his death.
"Dead admonishment..."
Jiang Han's heart stirred slightly.
He reached out and pressed his hand against Black Sha's nose, which was covered in cold scales.
Through his palm, he seemed to hear their broken and chaotic inner voices:
"Your Majesty...don't go..."
"Below... are our ancestors..."
"I'm going to die... I'm really going to die..."
Ancestors?
A glint of light flashed in Jiang Han's eyes.
Even a mutated giant python, tens of meters long, calls its ancestors "the things of our ancestors."
What could that be?
A true dragon?
Or... an evil spirit even more ancient than a dragon?
[Ding! Host detected in extreme underwater environment, movement restricted!]
[Would you like to spend 5000 Exploration Points to exchange for the skill: Ancient Secret Technique - Water Repelling Technique (Grandmaster Level)?]
"exchange!"
Jiang Han gave the order in his mind without hesitation.
point?
That's for spending!
If you're about to die, are you going to save your life to celebrate the New Year?
boom!
A mysterious and obscure stream of information instantly flooded into my mind.
next second.
A miraculous scene unfolded.
The water around Jiang Han seemed to suddenly come alive, or perhaps it developed some kind of awe towards him, and it automatically pushed outwards by three inches!
A thin, almost invisible vacuum membrane formed around his body.
The resistance disappeared.
The cold was kept out.
He was in the water, but it felt like he was on land; he could even breathe freely the oxygen exchanged through his skin pores!
This is a master-level water-avoidance technique!
This is called... Qilin Treading the Waves!
Jiang Han suddenly opened his eyes, and two cold beams of light shot out from his dark golden pupils.
He grabbed the black demon's fangs with his backhand, and with a burst of strength from his waist, a tremendous force erupted.
"Get out of here!"
He let out a deep, muffled growl in the water.
The sound was not transmitted through vocal cord vibration, but directly through the shockwaves of the "Water Avoidance Technique".
boom!
The gentle yet irresistible force sent the several-ton Black Fiend flying backwards for more than ten meters.
Xiao Bai was also thrown over by the gust of air and rolled several times in the water before regaining its balance.
The two giant beasts were stunned.
They stared blankly at Jiang Han, who was suspended in the water.
At this moment, Jiang Han's long hair was dancing wildly in the water, and faint vacuum ripples surrounded his body. The Qilin tattoo on his chest was as red as if it were burning.
That aura...
Even more domineering than the "ancestors" below!
Jiang Han did not turn around.
He simply turned his back to them, held up one finger, pointed down, and then pointed to himself.
The meaning is very clear:
Your ancestors couldn't suppress me.
Because... I am its nemesis.
next moment.
Jiang Han kicked his legs out suddenly.
He was like a human torpedo launched from the barrel, crashing headfirst into the deeper, more desperate abyss of darkness with a piercing sound as he plunged into the water!
……
Dive down.
Continue descending.
Fifty meters... one hundred meters... two hundred meters...
The surrounding light has completely disappeared.
This is the true realm of absolute darkness.
The live stream screen turned into a ghastly green night vision mode, and the oppressive noise made all the viewers feel like they couldn't breathe.
[This is too deep... It must be as deep as a thirty-story building!]
I have thalassophobia, I feel like throwing up...
[Is the streamer really courting death? The Black and White Duo were terrified!]
Look at the walls around you! What are those things?!
Suddenly, a comment in the live chat pointed out the blind spot in alarm.
Jiang Han noticed it too.
As the depth increased, the originally smooth well walls began to become rough and strange.
【Ding! 】
[Enter the core area of "Locked Dragon Well"!]
The moment the system notification sound plays.
Jiang Han turned on the tactical spotlight.
The intense light pierced the darkness like a sharp sword, illuminating the surrounding well walls.
hiss--!
Millions of viewers in front of their screens gasped in shock, their scalps tingling with fear!
That's not a stone.
The well walls were densely covered with layers upon layers of...
They were all dried-up corpses!
Thousands of mummified corpses remain in the postures of their last struggles before death, half their bodies embedded in the rocks and half exposed in the water.
Their mouths were wide open, their empty eye sockets staring intently at the bottom of the well.
And deep within those eye sockets, a strange, ghastly green phosphorescence was shimmering!
It's just like……
Countless lanterns from hell are guiding Jiang Han on the path to the Yellow Springs!
