In just a short while, the sun had set. Only a few clouds still had luster. Chu Yurong came back to her senses and inadvertently noticed the pool in front of her. He felt a little strange. He remembered that he had deliberately let some fish fry in there, but now it was still dead silent. What was even more strange was that he realized that the water level did not rise or fall at all.
Chu Yurong came to the side of the pool and stared at the bottom of the pool. He couldn't see the end, and his divine sense had already entered the water. In just a moment, Chu Yurong was shocked. His divine sense could not probe to the bottom at all. He only felt that the deeper it was, the more it felt like an abyss.
He took out the Jade-Spirit Conch and threw it out. The Jade-Spirit Conch began to 'drink' the water as soon as it entered the water. There was a slight vortex circulating on the surface of the pool. Chu Yurong was not in a hurry and sat cross-legged at the side. After a quarter of an hour, Chu Yurong waved his hand, and the Jaded Conch returned to his hand.
"As expected, the water level did not drop at all!”Chu Yurong frowned as she held the Jade Spirit Conch in her hand. This Jade Spirit Conch could hold the water of a lake, but now, the water in the pool was almost the same.
After a slight hesitation, Chu Yurong jumped into the pool. The water was bone-chilling, but Chu Yurong was not surprised.
He dove down cautiously at first, but after getting used to it, he kept sinking. After a few dozen feet, he found that the space was getting bigger and bigger, and there was an undercurrent around him from time to time. The impact of these forces was negligible to his current cultivation. However, the light was getting dimmer and dimmer. When he looked up, there was only a little light the size of a bowl. It was estimated that the sky had basically darkened. Chu Yurong considered whether she should continue exploring.
After all, he had only thought of it on the spur of the moment and had not made much preparation. Furthermore, he had come down extremely deep and knew nothing about what was below. He was also a little afraid. But at the same time, he was also curious about this strange pool. Although it was dark, his divine sense had increased greatly, and he was clear about the surrounding situation. Furthermore, he had already reached the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and his natal cultivation technique was water. Even if he encountered any danger, he should be able to protect himself. Thinking of this, he continued to sink.
The surrounding area continued to expand, and it was already twice as large as before. Chu Yurong's divine sense found that cracks often appeared on the surrounding walls. Some were huge, and there were water plants growing nearby. They were very lush, and some even covered the cracks. When they passed through these cracks, it was obvious that there were undercurrents surging.
When they were nearly 400 feet down, Chu Yurong became even more cautious. There was no movement of undercurrents here, and it felt quiet and vast. Not long after, Chu Yurong's expression relaxed a little. After probing with his divine sense, he found a small mountain peak with undulating vertebrae below, indicating that they were close to the bottom.
Chu Yurong unconsciously accelerated her descent. At the same time, she urged her divine sense to observe the bottom with all her might. At this moment, Chu Yurong was shocked, and all the hair on her body stood on end. Apart from a few sharp corners on the peak, the mountain was extremely smooth as if it had been rubbed for a long time. There was a huge gully at the bottom of the pool. Looking up at the wall along the mark, a huge demon snake was resting with its eyes narrowed. Part of its body was embedded in the wall, and the snake demon's entire appearance could not be seen.
Just as Chu Yurong discovered it and was about to retreat, two long and narrow green lights lit up in the darkness. The giant snake also opened its eyes, giving off a sinister and evil feeling. Chu Yurong retreated while staring at the demon beast. Its body was greenish black, and its skin was covered in scales. The scales were suffused with an extremely weak blue light. Its body was more than ten times larger than the Green Python they encountered last time. Just its head alone was the size of a small wooden house. Compared to the heads of those pythons, there was a big bump on its forehead. Above its two narrow eyes, there seemed to be brow bones, adding another majesty.
Chu Yurong kept retreating upwards. At the same time, he also used the mountain peak to hide his body. However, the giant snake clearly discovered him and swam towards the mountain peak. Its body shuttled through the wall and wrapped around the mountain peak. It seemed slow, but its body was huge and its actual speed was shocking.
"Not good!" Chu Yurong thought to herself and immediately sped up.
The quiet and evil snake head also revealed a fierce appearance. It opened its huge mouth and pounced directly at Chu Yurong.
Chu Yurong felt a mountain pouncing towards him, and waves of suction swept towards him. She knew that things were not good. She threw the Cloud-swallowing Bell that she had been holding tightly in her hand. At the same time, she chanted a spell. The Cloud-swallowing Bell expanded, and the giant snake bit it. At the same time, a dull thud was heard, causing the giant snake to pause.
Chu Yurong also felt a huge force from the control of the Cloud Swallowing Bell. She didn't have time to think too much. She stabilized the Cloud Swallowing Bell and continued to expand. She hoped that it would block the snake's mouth like how she dealt with the Green Vine Python.
Sure enough, the giant snake seemed to be more aggressive. It didn't let go and twisted its body, biting the Cloud Swallowing Bell and crashing into the wall. In a short while, Chu Yurong had also jumped up more than a hundred feet. Loud collisions came from the bottom of the pool below. The powerful waves of water made his body unstable every time. He immediately used all his strength to freeze a large area. After a few breaths, the Cloud Swallowing Bell quickly flew back. Without the worry of distracting himself to control the magic treasure, it rose up at twice the speed as before.
The moment before he flew out of the pool, he heard the loud sound of the ice breaking. Chu Yurong did not dare to be negligent. She left the pool far away and flew to the vicinity of the cave abode to be on guard. However, after waiting for a while, the giant snake did not rush out of the pool. Only then did he relax. He returned to the cave abode and began to think with lingering fear.
"I didn't expect the pool to be so deep, and there's a powerful demonic beast here. I'm afraid…it's at least equivalent to a fifth-order Golden Core demonic beast!”
Chu Yurong did not know what kind of demon beast it was. Only an extremely rare demon beast bloodline could have such a body size. Obviously, this giant snake was not among these rare bloodlines.
There was another situation, which was a mixed bloodline.
Mixed bloodlines were not necessarily powerful. It was also possible that the bloodline inheritance could not be fused, resulting in premature aging and death. Or, most of them would be ordinary after fusion. Only a very small number would have powerful talents and survive.
Chu Yurong had been on duty in the spirit beast forest for so long. She knew that it was extremely difficult to produce powerful hybrid bloodline demon beasts. Wild powerful hybrid mutated bloodlines were even rarer than those rare bloodlines. In the Qiyun Sect's territory, it was unlikely that they were born with mixed blood. Of course, it was also possible that they had come here through the undercurrent in the pool.
Or perhaps it had been nurtured by a senior Spirit Nurturing Cultivator and had given birth to a mutated spirit beast. In that case, it was very likely that it was the spirit pet of the previous owner of the cave abode.
