Chapter 25

Extraordinary Encounters

When the three of them slowly walked to the foot of Qingyun Peak, it was already noon.

With a few casual water arrows, Su Yi killed several rabbits and pheasants, which were then instantly refined by Ling Yao and Xiao Tian just as Su Yi finished roasting them.

The three of them strolled around Qingyun Peak as if on a picnic.

Without Su Yi even lifting a finger, Xiao Tian, ​​the burden she had brought along, finally felt that he had a chance to prove himself.

Having just learned the "Bull's Strength" yesterday, Xiao Tian couldn't wait to show it off.

With a single punch and kick, those newly transformed monsters were no match for him!

Those who run fast can save their lives, while those who run slowly will be sent to their deaths by Xiao Tian's fist, which is imbued with true energy.

Originally, Xiao Tian only wanted to find ten spirit frogs, but he became addicted to killing them and attacked anything he saw.

Passing by a century-old tree, one has to punch it twice.

Qingyun Peak is one of the higher peaks among the outer mountains.

The spiritual energy was abundant, and there were many kinds of spirits and monsters, so Xiao Tian was very excited to fight and soon he was covered in mud.

"How rude!" Ling Yao said with a hint of disdain as she watched Xiao Tian chasing a giant spirit chicken that was half a person's height around.

"If you only eat and don't work, don't expect me to stew a big pork knuckle for you tonight!" Su Yi said lazily, looking at Ling Yao who seemed to be just passing by.

Upon hearing the name "braised pork knuckle," Ling Yao, who maintained her ladylike demeanor, swallowed hard, almost shamelessly.

"Hmph, you big bad guy!" Ling Yao rolled her eyes, walked to a stream, took off her shoes and socks, revealing her small, fair feet.

He stepped onto the water, took a deep breath, and ran upstream along the stream.

Seeing the treasure-hunting rat start working, Su Yi quickly called out to Xiao Tian, ​​who was preparing to throw the giant chicken over his shoulder, and told him to follow.

Upon hearing Su Yi's call, Xiao Tian immediately put down the half-dead giant spirit chicken in his hand and followed.

The giant spirit chicken, which had been waiting to die after being punched on the head by Xiao Tian, ​​suddenly had a chance to survive. It flapped its wings twice and disappeared into the dense forest nearby.

The three of them followed the stream upstream and in the blink of an eye arrived at a deep pool of water halfway up the mountain.

Standing on the surface of the deep pool, Ling Yao clenched her fists, bent over to gather her strength, and circulated her true energy around her.

"Hey!" Ling Yao raised her fist and slammed it hard into the water.

The calm, deep pool rippled with waves centered on Ling Yao's fist.

Then, as if explosives had been planted at the bottom of the pool, waves three or four meters high suddenly surged outwards from Ling Yao!

  

Many fish and turtles were stunned by the wave and floated to the surface belly up.

Ling Yao looked around at the unconscious fish and turtles, among whom many spirits had been taken away.

He immediately raised his little head proudly at Su Yi, with a little expression that said, "Look how awesome I am!"

But Su Yi's expression was serious as she rushed towards him.

Ling Yao looked at Su Yi with a puzzled expression. Just as she was about to speak, the water level in the deep pool began to drop rapidly.

As if she had punched through a deep pool, a huge whirlpool centered on Ling Yao, with water rushing wildly towards her.

Ling Yao tried to escape, but the force of the powerful current made her unable to move.

"Water Whip Technique!"

Su Yi instantly activated her skill, and a whip made of flowing water suddenly appeared in her hand.

With a gentle flick, it wrapped around Ling Yao's waist and pulled her back forcefully.

Ling Yao was pulled out of the whirlpool by Su Yi, who then jumped up and hugged her back to the shore.

Ling Yao, who was in a panic, didn't know what was happening when she bumped into a reliable chest.

Looking up, she met a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, and Ling Yao immediately felt her heart beat faster.

"This guy is actually quite reliable!" Ling Yao grabbed Su Yi's sleeve with her small hand and followed Su Yi back to the shore.

At this moment, Su Yi, whose mind was focused on the deep pool, did not notice Ling Yao's appearance in his arms. He was just staring in disbelief at the rapidly dropping water level in the deep pool.

Wow, is there really such an amazing encounter?

Is this Koi Queen's luck really that terrifying?

After the water in the deep pool completely disappeared, only a large hole left behind, which Ling Yao had blasted out.

The deep pool that was originally attached to the mountain is now just a large hole facing the sky, just like a flat piece of land.

Ling Yao and Xiao Tian peered curiously into the deep pool, but Su Yi stopped them immediately: "You two wait on the shore and deal with the monsters around here. I'm going to check it out. Don't follow me, or we won't have pork knuckle for dinner!"

Just kidding, this incredible adventure is now attributed to the Su family, even the Heavenly King himself wouldn't be able to help!

Before Ling Yao and the others could react, Su Yi leaped and jumped directly into the large hole in the pool.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to threaten the two with his elbow not to follow.

Like a nimble lynx, Su Yi leaped into the large hole in the pool.

Before Ling Yao and Xiao Tian on the shore could react, Su Yi had already disappeared.

"Damn it! How could this person be so reckless, just barging in like that?" Ling Yao stamped her foot and said with some complaint.

"Won't it be dangerous? Should I go down and help Senior Brother Su?" Xiao Tian asked, looking at the large hole in the deep pool.

The two naive young people had no idea that Su Yi was eating alone!

Instead, they were worried that Su Yi might be in danger by rushing in like this.

Su Yi, who had already flown into the cave, almost burst out laughing with joy.

The cave now contained its own unique world. Standing inside, Su Yi carefully observed the scene before her, using the faint light falling from the cave entrance.

This grave... no, this amazing encounter actually uses a deep pool as cover, with a cave dug into the mountain below the pool!

He really is a cunning old fox; the most obvious place is also the safest place!

Looking at the dark cave in front of him, Su Yi took out a torch from his storage bag and held it up.

The firelight illuminated the narrow passageway, which was entirely constructed of stone walls covered with dark red moss.

Upon seeing the moss, alarm bells rang in Su Yi's mind.

This thing is called Deep Water Poison Moss, and in the game "Immortal Path", it is a material for refining low-level poison talismans.

It can release a weak poison gas, which will cause continuous damage if there are no protective skills. It can also suddenly jump onto the intruder, bind the intruder, and frantically absorb the intruder's true energy.

Su Yi would never believe that this stone passageway leading straight into the depths of the cave wasn't equipped with some kind of mechanism.

After a moment's thought, he used a water whip technique to lift the torch in his hand and send it flying deeper into the tunnel.

Just a dozen meters away, several water fleas the size of basins suddenly fell from above the passageway and extinguished the torch.

In the instant the torch went out, Su Yi vaguely saw a stone gate with strange patterns on it!

To possess such a large quantity of deep-sea poisonous moss, and with mechanical spirits guarding it, the stone gate also has mechanisms.

There are three checkpoints at the entrance alone.

This extraordinary encounter is clearly beyond the scope of what's expected!

No, it's too difficult and risky for me to attempt this dungeon with only my Qi Refining Level 3 skill.

Risk and opportunity go hand in hand; the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish!

Su Yi naturally understood this principle, but what Su Yi, who valued her life most, cared about most was to reasonably distribute the risks and maximize the benefits.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yi jumped out of the hole.

As soon as they emerged from the cave, Su Yi looked at Ling Yao and Xiao Tian with mixed feelings and said:

"It looks like a ruin down there, but it's too dangerous!"
