Are you really going to swim there?
"Don't swim across, dive across! This lake has been set up with an array. If you fly or swim across, you'll trigger the array. Forget about finding their stronghold, you'll be discovered halfway there." Jiang Yuan corrected Liu Zhaodi's mistake.
"But I can't swim!" Liu Zhaodi said with a worried look.
"I've been your driver the whole way, so one more 'tour guide' won't make a difference!" Jiang Yuan said casually.
"Tour guide!" Liu Zhaodi relaxed a bit, but still had some concerns. "What about breathing underwater? Won't you suffocate?"
"Young Miss, don't tell me you've reached the ninth level and still haven't mastered internal energy circulation?" Jiang Yuan asked in astonishment.
Liu Zhaodi shook her head awkwardly.
"Then just use your spiritual power to replace the air, you definitely won't suffocate!" Jiang Yuan was speechless. He was already at the ninth level and still had this common sense. He was ashamed, even if you didn't care.
"Alright then, you have to take good care of me! Otherwise, if I fall into the lake and can't swim out, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!" Liu Zhaodi only showed a little courage after Jiang Yuan's assurance.
The two had already discussed and prepared a second plan: to take the initiative. Although they were outnumbered and outmatched in strength, they had the advantage of being in the dark while the enemy was in the open.
"There are so many of them, won't we get beaten to death?" Liu Zhaodi's expression showed a hint of fear. This was like venturing into a dragon's den or a tiger's lair; if they weren't careful, they would be surrounded and beaten up.
"Get down here!"
Jiang Yuan stood in the shallow water and pulled the person down. With a splash, the two fell into the water.
"Mmm-hmm-hmm!" Liu Zhaodi looked terrified as she fell into the water, and could only keep signaling to Jiang Yuan with her eyes. She and Jiang Yuan had experienced more danger in the past two days than she had in her entire life.
Compared to Liu Zhaodi's panic, Jiang Yuan was just more conflicted, considering whether to use the Divine Wings as an oar!
After thinking for half a second, Jiang Yuan unfolded his Divine Wings. Compared to the Fairy Wings of the Elf race, his Divine Wings still had advantages that the Fairy Wings could not match. First of all, the Divine Wings were wings of light, which was much more convenient than the Fairy Wings in some respects. Moreover, because of the comprehensive divine power attribute, the Divine Wings were suitable for any environment.
Jiang Yuan pointed ahead, then hugged Liu Zhaodi and started paddling.
Upon entering the bottom of this lake, Jiang Yuan discovered that this place was far more complex than it appeared on the surface; the lake water itself seemed to carry a hidden energy.
"Nutrient solution!"
While swimming underwater, he recalled the liquid that had nurtured the spirit seedlings. The water quality of this lake could, to some extent, replace the nutrient solution. Although the energy contained in this lake water was less than one percent of that in the nutrient solution, the sheer volume of water could completely replace quality.
With the changes in the Earth's environment after the catastrophe, the water volume of this lake is no less than one cubic kilometer. It is conceivable that if this water could be diverted to a personal space, the problem of fertilizer for spiritual plants would not be a concern for a short period of time.
"Jiang Yuan." Liu Zhaodi's voice trembled slightly as she pointed fearfully to the dark bottom of the lake, "It seems like something is following us?"
Jiang Yuan focused his gaze and saw a dark shadow flash past them quickly. Because it was too dark, it would be very difficult to capture such a creature with his Heavenly Eye.
"Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon, just hold on tight!" Jiang Yuan reassured him before continuing to dive toward the center of the lake.
However, just a few minutes later, Liu Zhaodi in his arms began to stir again.
"It's true, there really is something following us, and there are more and more of them!" Liu Zhaodi felt her thalassophobia was about to flare up.
While comforting Liu Zhaodi, Jiang Yuan took the situation seriously. When the dark shadow passed beneath him again, he dove another ten meters deeper. However, the monster before him left him feeling unsettled for a long time.
Ghost Bass King, Rank 9 Emperor, Strength: 830, Talent: Fish King.
Racial Trait - King of the Fish: It is the undisputed king among countless bass, possessing the ability to dominate other bass. Humility is the best choice when facing it.
As soon as the Sky Eye detection results appeared, Jiang Yuan saw countless smaller black shadows behind the huge black shadow.
Gulp! Jiang Yuan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This bass is a carnivorous fish, and its ferocity after awakening its spirit will only be greater than before, not weaker.
"We didn't find the Holy Spirit stronghold, but we've ended up in the mouths of the fish!" Jiang Yuan slowly retreated, hoping that the group of bass wouldn't target them.
As for Liu Zhaodi, although she was afraid, she still activated the natural power of her elven bloodline and tried her best to release goodwill.
They moved one position at a time until they had retreated several dozen meters, at which point the large, lantern-shaped eyes of the perch quietly disappeared from the darkness.
"Phew!" Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't afraid of the bass, but underwater was definitely the bass's home ground. Moreover, given its fish king talent, if a fight broke out, the two of them would have no choice but to flee in panic, otherwise this place would be their burial ground.
"It seems they've retreated!" Liu Zhaodi said, still shaken.
"It seems that the bloodline was given to the right person!" Jiang Yuan cast an approving glance at Liu Zhaodi. The reason the bass retreated earlier was because they sensed Liu Zhaodi's goodwill. Elf bloodlines are the darlings of nature, and such native Earth creatures with awakened spirits have no hostility towards elf bloodlines.
"You think everyone is as fierce as you!" Liu Zhaodi said with a hint of smugness.
Jiang Yuan simply smiled at this, then looked across the lake and said, "There's an island in the middle of the lake; that should be the Holy Spirit's stronghold!"
The two dared not investigate without authorization. Not only were there formations here, but there were also a considerable number of ninth-rank guards. If they investigated recklessly, they would likely be discovered.
"Let's use the most primitive method!" Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice.
