"Why did you save me? You might as well have let me die!"
Sheryl was clearly ungrateful that Lin Yu had saved her.
Lin Yu sneered, "You think I want to save you? I'm just using you as a hostage. Before I regain my strength, your life is still somewhat useful!"
Although Lin Yu was already invincible in the world, he always sought stability in his actions.
As long as his injuries haven't healed, he's not absolutely safe underground.
In case we need to negotiate with the lizard tribe, this lizard princess will be our bargaining chip.
Sheri looked at him with a resentful expression, "Are all humans this cunning? No wonder our mother race wanted to destroy you. Your scheming is truly terrifying!"
"Is it scary? I don't think it's as scary as you, right?"
Lin Yu said with a sneer, "At least the women of our human race aren't so thirsty as to try to have sex with someone while they're sleeping!"
"you!"
Lin Yu brought up the old matter again, making Sheryl feel extremely ashamed, wishing she could just kill herself.
It truly is a case of killing someone by destroying their spirit.
Boom!
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from afar, as if the ground was shaking.
The two looked into the distance and saw a giant gourd-shaped mountain that was shaking violently.
Lin Yu's Origin Techniques were exceptional, and he was also very sensitive to dragon energy and dragon veins. He could tell at a glance that this Calabash Mountain was extraordinary.
"Do you know the name of this mountain?" Lin Yu asked Xie Rui.
Sheryl's eyes flickered as he recalled for a moment, then said, "Although I've never been to the Dark Forest, my clan has many records about it! This mountain, standing atop the ancestral vein of the Dark Forest, is called Immortal Gourd Peak! The special thing about Immortal Gourd Peak is that it was formed by tectonic shifts. Every so often, its height increases until, after many years, it reaches a certain limit and undergoes a change. Legend has it that it will crack open at a specific time, at which point an unexpected immortal treasure will be born! At that time, all the beast kings of the Dark Forest will be attracted here! Once they obtain the immortal treasure, they will ascend to immortality, completely transformed, becoming a generation of holy spirits, ruling the entire Dark Forest!"
“Now that we’ve counted the years, it’s probably almost time for the Immortal Treasure to be born!” Xie Rui said again, his tone a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
How she wished that her people could obtain the magical treasure.
But this is almost impossible. Although the magical treasures are tempting, the lizard tribe will not take the risk.
The great demons of the Dark Forest were simply too terrifying. Although the Lizard Clan possessed advanced technology, they paled in comparison to beings of that level.
In the lizard race's understanding, the supreme being in this Black Forest is even more terrifying than the divine blood on earth.
Because the spiritual energy here has never been interrupted, the individuals of both the beast race and the demon race are extremely powerful.
Moreover, it seems that the ancestors of the lizard race had a pact with the top beings of the Dark Forest, and the two sides reached a tacit agreement not to invade each other's territories.
If it weren't for this tacit understanding, the lizard race's base would have been wiped out by the terrifying demon race long ago.
After hearing Sheryl's account of the mountain's origins, Lin Yu became quite interested.
Immortal Gourd Peak, Immortal Treasure?
That's interesting!
With his Origin Technique, he was able to sense the dragon vein hidden beneath the Black Forest.
The location of Immortal Gourd Peak is precisely where several dragon veins converge, which is similar to the Kunlun Ancestral Vein of the Great Xia Dynasty, where ten thousand dragons pay homage.
The Kunlun ancestral vein on the ground had long been severed by Liu Bowen, and its dragon energy had long since dried up. However, this Immortal Gourd Peak was full of dragon energy, and it seemed to be bursting forth.
The reason why Immortal Gourd Peak grew so tall was because of the constant impact of the dragon energy from several dragon veins, which caused the mountain to arch high.
Such a blessed land, even comparable to the dragon vein of Changbai Mountain, is bound to produce some rare and precious treasures, which is quite reasonable.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little flutter in his heart.
He has injured his very essence. If he could obtain the immortal treasure nurtured by this dragon vein, his injuries might be fully restored, and he might even be able to advance his cultivation level.
"You're not thinking about taking the magic treasure, are you?" Xie Rui clearly sensed Lin Yu's change in mindset and couldn't help but ask nervously.
Lin Yu glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Congratulations, you guessed right. I am indeed somewhat interested in magical treasures!"
"Are you crazy? I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible! You have no idea how terrifying the top beings in this Black Forest really are!" Sheryl shouted, sounding very agitated.
Lin Yu frowned. "I didn't plan on making you risk your life with me. Why are you getting so worked up? If you're scared, just stay here! I'll go by myself!"
"You! But, but I can't live without you!"
Sheryl pursed her red lips and said, "Don't take any risks, okay? Let's go back to the base first. At worst, I'll have a good talk with my father. Our two clans don't really have any deep-seated hatred. We can completely turn hostility into friendship!"
"Are you taking me for a fool?" Lin Yu frowned and said, "The feud between our two races has spanned tens of thousands of years. We have never been on the same page, both physiologically and psychologically. It's like the Chu-Han border, clearly defined. The ideological differences make it impossible to resolve peacefully. Just like the Western world that you are supporting now, the Ansar and the Jews are frantically plundering the whole world. They are all extreme Zionists. Only our Great Xia is taking the middle path. Sooner or later, the two sides will have a war!"
In fact, Lin Yu had long made some guesses about the world situation. The reason why the Western world has developed so rapidly must be because of the support of advanced civilizations in secret. Some scientists' brains have even been modified by advanced civilizations. He did research on Dragon Phoenix Island. Scientists such as Einstein all have traces and shadows of alien races behind them.
When he arrived in the underground world, all his previous thoughts were proven true.
It was all the work of the lizardmen!
They are the ones manipulating the West behind the scenes, controlling the financial system, the military-industrial complex, and the entire world.
In fact, Lin Yu's guesses were all correct. However, what he didn't know was that during the time he was unconscious, the Lizard Clan received news of the Lord's arrival and had already declared war on the Great Xia!
Sheri pursed her red lips tightly. She knew she couldn't fool Lin Yu, much less dissuade him from his desire to seize the immortal treasure.
"I'm really doing this for your own good. Life is so precious, why are you doing this? Actually, there is a possibility that our two races can coexist peacefully. We have always looked up to your divine bloodline because you are different from those inferior humans. As long as our two races join forces, combining cultivation and technology, we will definitely be able to fight against the calamity. I think now is an opportunity. As long as the two of us unite, we can completely resolve the grudges between our two races. What do you think?"
She raised her head and looked at Lin Yu with deep affection.
This was her honest opinion; she didn't want anything to happen to Lin Yu, not only to protect herself but also for her long-term interests.
