Jiang Yuan is a decent swimmer, but because this place is close to the source of the Yin energy of the entire underground river, even a good swimmer has to endure strong corrosive damage.
"As expected of the dark river that is born with the divine vein, it is so powerful that even my Nine Spirits Demon Body cannot completely resist it!"
The Divine Vein produces Divine Bloodstone, but the origin of the Divine Vein is very mysterious. Some say that the place where the Divine Vein appears is the place where the blood of the gods once flowed, while others say that the Divine Vein is the blood of the earth. However, Jiang Yuan is more inclined to the former statement.
Although Ning Yanlan lied to him about most things, the USB drive data she deliberately revealed still had some credibility. These divine veins were the traces left by gods on the battlefield in the past. Don't doubt the power of gods. Even a drop of blood from a true god can shatter mountains and rivers, let alone whether essence blood or corpses can be transformed into divine veins.
The pool was several tens of meters deep. When Jiang Yuan swam down, it was pitch black all around. He could only put a few lit Holy Spirit Crystals into the water to illuminate the area.
As the brightness returned, Jiang Yuan was able to see the source of the Yin energy emanating from him.
A huge rock, three meters in diameter, lay flat on the bottom of the pool. The rock was covered with dense patterns, which, when viewed as a whole, formed a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern. Moreover, the pattern subtly changed along with the flow of the underground river, as if it were alive.
"Honey, what's this?"
Jiang Yuan jumped and immediately turned around, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was An Xiaoyu. He said with a hint of anger, "You idiot, didn't I tell you to stay up there? Why did you sneak down here!"
"I was scared! Who told you to leave me all alone up there!" An Xiaoyu looked up, her face full of grievance and pitiful. "Don't be angry, okay?"
"Alright, alright, I'm not angry with you. I'm just worried that you'll be affected by the Yin energy. Women's bodies are naturally more Yin, so they don't have much resistance to this Yin energy..." Jiang Yuan's pupils widened in shock, but he continued calmly, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm here!"
He sensed something was amiss. An Xiaoyu was very obedient to him, and although she could be willful at times, she would never cause him trouble in dangerous situations. Moreover, and most importantly, this 'An Xiaoyu' who swam down seemed to have no gender, and coupled with the unusual Yin energy within her, she was very likely not An Xiaoyu at all.
"Honey, please hold me, I'm scared!" An Xiaoyu said in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Wait a minute, let me set up the formation first before I hug you!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, An Xiaoyu appeared behind him like a ghost, then lay down on him and said happily, "Then carry me on your back, I don't want to be all alone in the water!"
An Xiaoyu continued to act coquettishly, but Jiang Yuan felt his hair stand on end and his skin crawl. Not to mention that he had no idea how An Xiaoyu got on his back, the fact that she was constantly absorbing the Yin energy from the Bagua stones at the bottom of the deep pool was enough to make him wary.
"Xiaoyu, then be good and don't bother me!"
Although Jiang Yuan was terrified, he decided to calm the other party down first. This creature of unknown origin obviously had something on its mind, but for various reasons it had to resort to deception, otherwise it wouldn't have transformed into An Xiaoyu's appearance.
The Reincarnation Space had already begun to operate, but under the extremely strong energy field of the Divine Vein, it would take some time to project the Reincarnation Space, so he could only delay it.
"Yes, I will be very good!" An Xiaoyu said, but her voice became unusually cold, and her long hair slid down Jiang Yuan's shoulder and finally spread out in the water.
"Gulp!" Jiang Yuan swallowed silently. He realized that all his senses had disappeared. He could no longer sense whether the person behind him was An Xiaoyu or something else.
"Honey, aren't you going to set up the formation? Why aren't you starting yet!" A soul-stirring voice came from behind.
Jiang Yuan slowly squatted down. The other party must have come prepared, but was he unprepared? So, with the idea of making the best of a bad situation, he squatted on the Bagua stone slab and began to set up the formation.
...
"You stinky Jiang Yuan, leaving me here all alone, aren't you afraid something will happen to me?!"
On the other side, An Xiaoyu, standing on the rock, was so bored that she could only throw pebbles at the water's surface, listening to the babbling of the spring water as she continued to complain about Jiang Yuan's 'atrocities'.
"Xiaoyu, what are you muttering about?"
Before An Xiaoyu could react, Jiang Yuan's voice rang out from behind her. She turned around and saw Jiang Yuan, whom she always thought about.
"Hey, didn't you just go down into that pool? How come you came out from this side?" An Xiaoyu asked, looking around in confusion.
"Oh, there's a secret passage down there. I came out from the other side after I finished setting up the formation!" Jiang Yuan explained naturally.
An Xiaoyu remained calm and casually remarked, "Now that we're done, let's go back!"
"Wait a minute, I've discovered another source ahead. Let's deal with that one first before heading back," Jiang Yuan said anxiously.
"Why is there another one? Didn't you say there was only one left? I was thinking of finishing the mission as soon as possible and going back to get our marriage certificate. Now it's going to be delayed again!" An Xiaoyu pouted, looking unhappy.
"It'll be over soon. After this is over, we'll go get our marriage certificate." Jiang Yuan's expression changed to surprise and delight.
“Okay, then come and carry me!” An Xiaoyu offered her hand, her smiling face captivating even Jiang Yuan.
"Um!"
Jiang Yuan walked over, but just as he turned his back to An Xiaoyu and prepared to carry her on his back, An Xiaoyu suddenly jumped up.
"You monster, how dare you impersonate your great-aunt's man!"
