The lake water was pitch-black in color, as if even light was being devoured. Wu Jun felt his entire body become extremely heavy as soon as he entered the water. He began to spin on his own along with the vortex. The badge in his arms emitted a warm current. Wu Jun activated the red light membrane to cover his entire body. The pressure of the lake water was much weaker. Wu Jun did not immediately head towards the vortex.
Slowly sinking his body, Wu Jun started to think. The whirlpool had a repulsive force against him, and he was afraid that he would be ejected the moment he entered the whirlpool. Therefore, he suddenly had an idea to go to the bottom of the whirlpool to see what was there.
The bottom of the lake was very deep. Wu Jun lowered his body as much as he could and swam towards the bottom. After a while, he could vaguely see the bottom. The entire bottom of the lake was faintly glowing in the pitch-black water. When he swam closer, Wu Jun was surprised to find that the ground was paved with crystals. The most common ones were red crystals, followed by silver crystals. There were also many black crystals closer to the vortex. The light at the core was even more dazzling like a golden crystal.
Looking up, the vortex was right above them. The crystals had sunk to the bottom of the lake, and many of them had already begun to shatter. Their energy had already been exhausted.
Wu Jun was enlightened. He swam past the red crystal area and hesitated for a while before he stopped at the silver crystal area. When he reached the black crystal, the pressure suddenly increased. He felt as if the entire lake was pressing on him. Wu Jun moved with difficulty and conveniently put a few black crystals that were still intact into his pocket.
The few elders and the black-robed inspector outside the lake did not notice Wu Jun's actions. They only saw him slowly follow the vortex like the others until he disappeared. At this moment, most of the people had finished awakening and were sent out by the vortex. The two black-robed inspectors kept asking about the registration. A few of them wanted to play some tricks, but most of them were detected by the wolf woman. Perhaps there were some fish that escaped the net. However, even the beast-type races knew that they could not be too extreme. The two black-robed inspectors knew this well, so they did not give the order to kill all those who left.
After a few people answered that their awakening had failed and left through the fork in the road, a few people in the field silently heaved a sigh of relief. There were also some elders from their families among the people who presided over the awakening this time. These people were only stronger than the black-robed inspector, so they naturally had family members who had come to awaken. Seeing that a few people had successfully left, they felt a little comforted.
The wolf woman seemed to notice the relieved expressions of those people and sneered in her heart! She didn't have time to fuss about it now, but she also wrote down the names of a few suspects. Although it wasn't like the death of the young man with the white tiger soul from before, it was obvious that he had a backup plan.
After Wu Jun finished collecting a few black crystals at the bottom, he felt very happy. There were quite a lot of good things at the bottom of the lake. Wu Jun did not go further into the black crystal area. He had a feeling that the duration of the vortex was about to end. He looked at the golden crystal with extreme envy, but just as he walked a little closer, he felt that all the bones in his body were about to break. He was pressed down to the bottom of the lake.
If it weren't for the red light membrane that kept flashing, Wu Jun wouldn't have been able to move at all. In fact, Wu Jun was also puzzled. There were so many crystals at the bottom of the lake, so why didn't anyone come down to search?
On the one hand, many people's thoughts were on the vortex awakening. On the other hand, these crystals were the key to maintaining the entire awakening ceremony. Wu Jun was almost the last to enter! At this moment, most of the crystals at the bottom of the lake had already exhausted their energy. If someone had sunk to the bottom of the lake from the beginning, the red crystal area might not have been able to withstand it.
Wu Jun lay at the bottom of the lake for a while longer. The red membrane on his body was about to expire. The black water at the bottom of the lake did not feel like he was drowning. Although he could not breathe freely, it could still allow him to stay for a while longer. Wu Jun saw that most of the crystals in the red crystal area had begun to shatter. Then, the silver crystals broke apart, and the black crystal pieces were completely shattered. Three of the remaining four golden crystal pieces were dim, and the pressure was greatly reduced. Wu Jun supported his body. He held the last piece of golden crystal that was about to dim in his hand. Just as he was about to enter the vortex, he realized that there was a transparent crystal ball at the center of the vortex.
The crystal ball was transparent, like a crystal or a diamond. Wu Jun could tell that it was a good thing at a glance. However, the pressure at the center of the vortex was so great that even when Wu Jun reached out, his entire arm was almost torn apart. His skin cracked and blood splashed everywhere!、
Wu Jun took a deep breath. Seeing that the vortex was starting to slow down, he knew that this was his last chance to enter the vortex. However, he was really unwilling to give up. It would have been fine if he had not seen it, but it would have been a pity if he had missed it. Wu Jun immediately took out a horn and tried to fish out the transparent crystal ball. However, even if the burning clouds on the horn were floating, it was useless. The entire horn was instantly shattered the moment it entered the depths of the vortex.
If he hadn't let go in time, Wu Jun's hand would have been crushed. Wu Jun sighed and could only give up. He began to float upwards!
The entire vortex slowed down and sank deeper and deeper into the water. Wu Jun did not need to float to the surface of the lake to enter it directly. However, just as he was about to be swallowed by the vortex, Wu Jun felt something in his heart. He immediately took out the skeletal hand from his bosom and activated all the red light membrane on his body. The skeletal hand seemed to have come alive. It did not have any special power, but it was as if it gave Wu Jun an additional hand that could move. Without the red membrane covering his entire body, the pressure on his body increased exponentially. Fortunately, Wu Jun was still protected by the badge in his arms. He desperately grabbed at the transparent crystal ball in the center of the vortex, and blood kept spurting out from his arm. In a moment, his entire arm was about to break.
However, Wu Jun immediately lost consciousness and fell into a half-asleep state.
It was also at this moment that the entire vortex disappeared without a trace. Countless figures were ejected out and landed on the shore. Some of them seemed to be in a daze.
A few people could tell that they were not ordinary at a glance. They were instantly vexed, as if they had missed a crucial opportunity.
" Why did the vortex close slightly earlier this time?”The old man in the middle was a little puzzled!
"Perhaps it's because we've awakened a few powerful beast souls this time, but this time we made an exception and took an ancient transparent crystal ball. We thought it would last longer, but it seems that the rumors can't be trusted, and that crystal ball isn't special.”Another person said in a low voice.
This time, many powerful ancient souls had awakened. The last few that came out might have thought that they could awaken even stronger ancient souls, but they were forced to stop in the end.”Another middle-aged woman said. She was not in a good mood when she said this. Clearly, one of them had some relationship with her.
After that young Bat finished asking all the people who had just come out, he lowered his head and recorded everything down. He then exchanged a few words with the werewolf woman. The werewolf woman looked at the last person to come out. There were many strong beast souls in this awakening ceremony, which was not good news.
Suddenly, she turned to look at the lake that had calmed down and frowned." Did the last person go in? Why didn't he come out?”
" That human carried an ox bone axe and horns on his back. He was wearing ox leather and was most likely from a small barbarian tribe. I probably didn't know if the badge on his hand was real or fake, so he wanted to try his luck. Unfortunately, when the vortex closed in the end, the pressure was extremely great! If it wasn't for the real badge, it would have been smashed into pieces. I saw blood in the water earlier, so it's most likely him!”This was not the first time that the young Bat was here to participate in the Awakening Ceremony. Clearly, he was extremely familiar with the Awakening Ceremony.
The werewolf woman nodded. Then, she stopped thinking about Wu Jun's problem and turned to look at the person standing behind her!
These people were all ancestral souls!
The life and death of the ancestral souls who had once terrorized thousands of races were now in her hands. This made the wolf woman quite happy.
