"This time, as before, our various tribes will compete to see which tribe obtains the most prey from outsiders, and at the same time, we will also compete to see which tribe obtains the most spider lilies."

"The tribe that hunts the most outsiders will receive a great reward from the tribal alliance!"

"Furthermore, the tribe that obtains the most spider lilies will also receive a great reward."

"It is said that this time, the tribal alliance has gone all out and brought out two great treasures."

"Before I came, the chief and elders told me that there were over a thousand tribes participating in this hunt, so the chief told me that the competition would be fierce, but no matter what, our tribe must get one of the two treasures!"

The leader of this group was a burly man who looked young.

He was nine feet tall, with well-developed muscles and a very robust physique. The lines of his muscles created an explosive visual impact!

"Alright, let's go into the water and find the spider lilies first. While we're looking for them, we'll wait for those outsiders. Once we see them, don't give them any chance to react, shoot them immediately!"

"On the water, we may not be their match, but underwater, they certainly are no match for us!"

Puff puff puff!

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of people jumped down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Each time someone jumps down, a small wave rises.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people jumped down.

The horses they rode there returned the same way they came.

In the water, Chen Xuan and Dugu Rou were very close together.

After all, they were too far apart, so Chen Xuan couldn't see the people clearly anymore.

Even divine sense cannot explore too far.

Dugu Rou didn't like getting involved with the Yellow Spring Water, since it was also known as Corpse Water, which she found unlucky. Therefore, a faint layer of flames separated the Yellow Spring Water from her body.

After all, she had absorbed thirty-six kinds of flames, and if she wanted, she could even evaporate all the Yellow Springs water within a ten-mile radius with flames.

Don't you find the water here dirty?

Seeing Chen Xuan swimming around in the water like an ordinary person, letting the yellow, murky water corrode his body, Dugu Rou couldn't help but complain and send a telepathic message.

"It's okay, as long as I don't die."

Chen Xuan chuckled and continued swimming deeper into the water.

During this time, he released the World Tree to see if it could absorb the Yellow Spring Water.

Unfortunately, the World Tree showed no reaction to the Yellow Springs Water.

Where are we going now?

Dugu Rou asked, noticing that Chen Xuan was swimming deeper into the water.

"Go to the deepest part, I want to see what the legendary Eye of the Underworld is, and whether it can really see everyone's past and present lives. If there are any spider lilies along the way, I'll pick some while I'm at it."

Chen Xuan transmitted his voice.

Whoosh!

Just then, a huge black shadow rushed towards them from beneath their feet.

At first, Chen Xuan couldn't see what the dark shadow was. But when its huge mouth was about to bite down on them, they suddenly realized that it was a giant snake!

“It’s a spirit born and raised in the Yellow Springs!” Dugu Rou’s pupils shrank.

puff!

This giant snake demon, which was a hundred meters long, swallowed the two of them whole in one gulp.

In an instant, Chen Xuan and the others felt darkness descend and could see nothing at all.

They were swallowed into the belly of the giant snake.

"You've got some nerve."

Chen Xuan sneered and threw a punch.

puff!

The snake was instantly blasted apart, and the two of them easily escaped.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to grab the snake's body, something surprising happened.

After the snake exploded, its body rapidly melted away.

It looks as if it has been corroded by sulfuric acid.

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a toothache. Wasn't this snake a monster that lived and bred in the Yellow Springs?

Why does the flesh melt away instantly after it explodes?

"Be careful not to get hurt. Whether it's a human or a spirit native to this place, if it gets injured and bleeds, it will be corroded."

Dugu Rou explained that this was what her younger brother, Dugu Heng, witnessed during the last Imperial Road event.

A great emperor with great talent became careless and overconfident in his invincibility. As a result, when he was competing with others for the other shore flower, he was injured. The Yellow Spring Water would frantically erode the injured parts, making the wounds bigger and bigger, unable to heal, and eventually corroding his body.

If this snake only has a small wound, it might be able to survive for a while longer.

However, its physical body was shattered by Chen Xuan's punch, and the wound was so large that it melted away.

"If that's the case, then it seems I really need to be more careful."

Chen Xuan shook his head, and with a thought, a layer of flames appeared on his body.

The flames blocked the Yellow Springs water.

In fact, Chen Xuan could have used the Law of Water to make the surrounding Yellow Spring Water avoid him, putting himself in a vacuum state where no drop of water could get close to his body.

However, he did not do that, but felt that it would be safer to protect his physical body with divine fire.

Next, they continued swimming deeper into the water.

They were very fast; in less than an hour, they had swum over a thousand miles.

"Why do I feel like the water of the underworld here is getting heavier and heavier?"

Dugu Rou frowned and asked.

"Your feeling is correct, it is indeed getting heavier."

Chen Xuan nodded. "Perhaps we are gradually getting closer to the Eye of the Underworld."

The Yellow Spring water on the shore is heavier than ordinary water.

Even a powerful god-emperor would have his body and bones crushed by the water if he jumped into it.

Now, the deeper you go, the heavier the water becomes.

A single drop of water can weigh a thousand pounds, and the density of water is increasing.

"I feel like this is no longer water, but iron. The deeper you go, the more you feel like you're being squeezed out."

Dugu Rou said.

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement, then asked, "How deep did your younger brother, Dugu Heng, run in the Yellow Springs?"

After all, Bei Zun had never participated in the Emperor's Road.

Among the Dugu family, the only one with experience is Dugu Heng.

“My brother was terrified of dying, so he hid in the shallow water on the shore and stayed there for eighty-one days, managing to get to the fourth level.”

Dugu Rou spoke.

"Uh, okay."

Chen Xuan was speechless for a moment, but upon closer reflection, it made sense.

After all, Dugu Heng is not like Dugu Rou, who possesses both an angelic heart and divine healing abilities.

If he hadn't received the blessing of Heaven for Dugu Rou, then he could have run rampant on the Imperial Road without restraint, and no one could have killed him.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world.

"Oh, right, Chen Xuan, there's something I forgot to remind you of."

Suddenly, Dugu Rou thought of something.
