Zhou Lianfeng was somewhat exasperated. "Do you think I'm an artificial intelligence?"
Where do you not know? Ask where you don't know.
But with just one look from Chen Yi, he could only swallow the words that were about to come out.
After all, given Chen Yi's understanding of talismans, he could easily press him back into the talisman paper, preventing him from showing his face.
"There's no other way but to go into the water and search. I'll use my powerful divine sense to help you find the Nine Nether Grass."
Yu Qian frowned slightly: "But as far as I know, the Nine Nether Pool is quite dangerous, and it seems that there are demonic beasts lurking there."
“That’s right. There are many snake-like demonic beasts lurking in the Nine Nether Pool, but they are all level 1 demonic beasts with low-level bloodlines,” Zhou Lianfeng nodded.
"Fortune favors the bold! The secret realm has only been open for a day, and not many people have come to the Nine Nether Pool yet. No matter how rare the Nine Nether Grass is, its quantity is definitely at its peak right now."
Chen Yi remained calm in the face of Zhou Lianfeng's explanation.
What the other party said made sense, but he still decided to wait and see for a while.
The Nine Nether Grass belongs to Principal Ma, but one's life is one's own!
Seeing that Chen Yi remained unmoved, Zhou Lianfeng didn't press him further.
He was just afraid of not getting the Nine Nether Grass and being punished by Principal Ma...
Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao are even less likely to go into the water easily.
After all, while the rewards promised by Principal Ma were certainly attractive to them, the perilous Nine Nether Pool was no joke!
If several people go down together, they can look out for each other. Since Chen Yi has no intention of going into the water for the time being, the two of them naturally have to consider it carefully.
"Splash!"
Chen Yi observed those who had already gone down from the shore.
Three minutes later, a figure emerged from the water, but remained motionless.
Upon closer inspection, half of his body had vanished, and his blood had seeped into the deep pool...
"Dead?"
Yu Qian's eyes flashed, and she questioned Zhou Lianfeng: "Didn't you say that the Nine Nether Pool was full of low-level snake demons?"
"This, this, this," Zhou Lianfeng was speechless for a moment, then said after a while, "This is a good thing!"
"How come this is good news again?"
"Think about it! With this person dead, there are fewer competitors, right? Isn't that a good thing? Moreover, this person's cultivation was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. He must have been careless, which led to his death in the pool. Doesn't this serve as a warning to us to be on high alert?" Zhou Lianfeng said in a grand and righteous manner.
Anyway, whether it's black or white, as long as it doesn't happen to me, it's a good thing!
Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao were baffled by the other party's self-justifying explanation.
Chen Yi sighed and said, "You'll get used to it."
As they were talking, another body surfaced.
The body was relatively intact, without disfigurement or missing limbs.
His body was so twisted and deformed that it was completely out of the normal range, as if all the bones in his body had been broken by a tremendous force...
"I seem to remember that person. He's at the tenth level of Qi Refining," Yu Qian murmured.
While she and Wu Lingyao were waiting for Chen Yi to arrive outside the secret area, they secretly observed the people around them.
She paid particular attention to one of the Qi Refining Perfection cultivators.
After all, since Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot enter, Qi Refining Perfection cultivators are undoubtedly the top experts in this secret realm journey.
It was truly unexpected that such a powerful figure would die in such a tragic manner...
"Great news! This is great news!" Zhou Lianfeng shouted. "He's risking his life to tell us that there's something dangerous down there!"
"......"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Zhou Lianfeng murmured somewhat awkwardly, "When I came here more than 20 years ago, even those at the seventh level of Qi Refining could go into the water to fish. How come it has become so dangerous now?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the calm pool water rippled violently.
"Splash!"
Violent ripples spread out...
"ah!!!"
Several cultivators flew desperately toward the shore, seemingly having encountered some terrifying being underwater.
"Crunch!"
A blinding light suddenly appeared underwater.
Chen Yi saw a huge figure, at least tens of meters long, approaching the water's surface.
The body coiled into several circles, forming a spiral, and its surface emitted eerie lightning.
He strained his eyes to the limit, barely managing to glimpse more details of the figure with the help of the lightning.
The golden scales and blood-red patterns form a peculiar arrangement, which, when close to the water's surface, resembles both shimmering gold foil and a horrifying wound.
"Reddish-gold scales, a long body, capable of generating electricity, bull horns, a demonic face, a snake..."
His dead knowledge of animal control suddenly resurfaced in his mind.
"A Reggae Crimson Gold Python?!"
Zhou Lianfeng, Chen Yi, and Yu Qian exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
Only Wu Lingyao looked completely bewildered.
After all, she hadn't specifically studied animal control.
Yu Qian and Zhou Lianfeng were simply well-informed, while Chen Yi had only heard Qin Guan talk about it in class.
The Foundation Establishment stage demon beast, Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, is the offspring of a Thunder Ghost Python and a Crimson Gold Snake.
It possesses strength comparable to the late stage of Qi Refining from birth, and can easily surpass the threshold of Level 2 demon beasts after reaching adulthood.
Clearly, this Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python already possesses considerable power.
"This..." Zhou Lianfeng was at a loss for words to say that this was a good thing.
Chen Yi remained standing on the shore.
He knew that the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python rarely left the water, because its thunder magic was most powerful when it was underwater.
Its strength will be greatly reduced once it leaves the water.
But now that they know there's a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast in the Nine Nether Pool, no one can be happy about it.
"With it guarding it, it will be difficult to get the Nine Nether Grass again," Yu Qian sighed softly.
Wu Lingyao nodded as well.
Rare and precious herbs are usually guarded by demonic beasts, and the guardian of this Nine Nether Grass is undoubtedly the Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python...
Even if all the cultivators present joined forces, they might not be a match for a Foundation Establishment stage demonic beast.
"Gurgle~"
At this moment, the Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python submerged back underwater.
Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, a bold idea popping into his mind.
If I could control this Thunder Ghost Crimson Gold Python, wouldn't I be able to control the entire Nine Nether Pool?
At that time, wouldn't the Nine Nether Grass and the like be readily available?
This is not a pipe dream, but something that is possible.
It should be noted that his level has reached lv.1.
Logically speaking, he should have a chance to command any level 1 top-grade bloodline monster.
Although this Thunder Demon Crimson Gold Python is only a level 2 demonic beast, its beast-controlling skills can be rapidly improved in a short period of time...
Didn't I practice with the Crimson Flame Sparrow many times before I reached my current level of beast-taming skills?
Of course, it was a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast after all, and if Chen Yi were to fight it, he would surely die.
Therefore, he plans to first use the level 1 snake demon in the pool to improve his beast-taming proficiency, and then make further attempts.
Thinking of this, he moved even closer to the pool.
"Chen Yi?"
Yu Qian and Wu Lingyao were completely puzzled.
Wasn't the intimidation of the Thunder Crimson Python just now terrifying enough?
Why are you walking into the pool?
Chen Yi, however, said with a serious expression, "Please don't come over yet. There's something I'd like to try out."
Having said that, he jumped into the pool without hesitation...
