Qianjun had already noticed the giant lizard.
She was on high alert.
Her body was like a bow.
Gathering power.
She was waiting for the moment when the greedy giant lizard attacked. Time seemed to slow down. The giant lizard's bite was like a slow-motion scene in a movie, clearly reflected in Qianjun's eyes. Qian Jun pulled out the dagger from his waist at lightning speed and stabbed it deep into the giant lizard's mouth with a chilly killing intent. Before the giant lizard's bloody mouth closed, Qian Jun pulled his dagger out easily. He didn't even have the time to move his body slightly to avoid the attack. He then watched as the giant lizard's attack missed and passed by him, falling to the bottom of the cliff.
When it fell to the bottom of the cliff, the giant lizard had already become a corpse.
Lin Dong stood a little above and turned around to comment, "You're still a little too impatient. The best attack is when the enemy's attack misses and you return a fatal blow. If you launch a counterattack the moment the giant lizard's attack falls behind, the effect will be more obvious. Of course, this direct counterattack is also not bad. It seems that you're starting to use your potential. "
"I seem to feel that time has slowed down. Is it because my eyes have this kind of sharp observation ability, or is it an illusion?" Qianjun was surprised and happy about the changes in her body.
"Not only your eyes, your whole body is improving. Otherwise, how can you keep up with the enemy with just your eyes?" Lin Dong laughed.
"Time has slowed down?" Ye Qianru really wanted to try it herself.
Unfortunately, when those giant lizards saw that their companions were killed.
They immediately scattered.
After climbing up this cliff, they went around the ridge and found the path on the treasure map again.
Under Lin Dong's lead, the three girls went deeper underground. After an unknown amount of time, they finally came to a pool. There was no way forward. The treasure map's guidance also stopped here. If one didn't know how to sense aura and couldn't see the rune pattern on the stone tablet outside, they would definitely think that this was the source of the stream. But in fact, this was the real entrance to the underground palace.
There were no monsters like the underground river in the pool. All the water was accumulated by countless stalactites over a long period of time.
Lin Dong jumped into the water.
He held his breath.
He swam for about a minute.
A dark cave appeared on the stone wall in front of them. They swam along the cave and felt that it was slightly inclined upwards … Qianjun and Ye Qianru who were chasing after Lin Dong were almost at their limit. They felt as if their lungs were about to explode, and they were in a painful state of suffocation. The shadow of death began to envelop their hearts. Even though they had unlimited trust in Lin Dong to bring them out, the cruel reality was desperately instilling negative emotions into their minds. Just when the two women's willpower was about to collapse, Lin Dong suddenly turned around and swam back. His hands turned into sword-like fingers and pointed at the glabella between their eyebrows, activating the Star Array in their minds. Suddenly, a power that they had never felt before awakened in their bodies.
They seemed to have heard the cry of some kind of magical life, a kind of transcendent life, that kind of voice that shook the universe came from the deepest part of the soul.
Then, his body was enveloped by boundless power.
It was as if he had thrown himself into a volcano.
It was boiling hot.
Something like a shackle was broken in his body. The suffocating body and the spirit that was enveloped by the shadow inexplicably relaxed. A kind of divine light of liberation was like an epiphany, cleansing his body and mind to a flawless state.
Qianjun and Ye Qianru were still soaking in the dark pool, but their suffocation was greatly reduced.
Their eyes seemed to be able to "see" things.
It was a little similar to the hidden pattern on the tablet that Lin Dong saw when he opened his Third Eye, but it was not exactly the same.
They could vaguely see that Lin Dong, who was shining with light, was in front of them. Yun Youyou, who was also emitting a slightly weaker light, was not far behind him and was gently paddling the water with her hands and feet. They found that their bodies were much brighter than when they had opened their Third Eye to observe the hidden patterns on the inscriptions. A thin light was flowing on their bodies … This was definitely not an illusion before they died, but they had seen it with their own eyes.
However, it was not through their eyes.
Instead, it was through another mysterious method that they did not know.
The feeling of suffocation was quickly reduced. Soaking in the water, they felt inexplicably comfortable. Although they could not breathe freely, it did not affect them at all. Qianjun and Ye Qianru even felt that there was excess air coming out of their lungs from time to time, turning into bubbles and spitting into the water.
Breathing in the water?
Could their skin automatically absorb oxygen from the water to replenish their body's needs?
How could a human have such an ability? However, this reality happened to them … Qianjun and Ye Qianru remembered Lin Dong's words. At that time, he said to Yu Tongtong that she was not afraid of swimming even if she could not, and that she would not drown in the future … Could it be that what he said meant? After the gene fusion, humans could unlock the potential of breathing in the water like a fish?
He was filled with boundless doubt and boundless surprise.
After Qianjun and Ye Qianru came out of the water, they still could not believe the changes in their bodies.
If it did not happen to them, if they did not experience it personally, if it was said by an outsider, they would not believe such an absurd existence! However, it was the truth!
"We can breathe in the water?" After Qianjun came out of the water and recovered his lungs, he immediately looked at Lin Dong.
"Barely. The degree of fusion between you two is still very low. This can only relieve your body's needs. It is still far from truly living in the water and breathing freely. However, at least we will not drown. This is also a kind of improvement! " Lin Dong did not think that the ability to breathe in the water was something to be surprised about. Not to mention him, even Yun You You did not think that it was magical.
"Previously, is this what you meant when you told Yu Tongtong?" When Ye Qianru heard this, she was so surprised that she hugged Qianjun tightly.
"After the gene fusion, you will find water more and more intimate. Not only is water not scary, but it is also the source of your life. It can provide you with all kinds of needs … Don't be too happy now. This is just the beginning. You are just starting out. When you stand at a relatively high level and look back, you will realize that these things are the most basic potential of humans. Work hard. After the last genetic modification, I told you guys that your future life will be filled with happiness and beauty that you can't even imagine. This little thing is nothing! "Lin Dong smiled.
"It's mainly you, right?" Qianjun remembered that when he was almost suffocated to death, he was the one who touched the space between his eyebrows. That was how he obtained this ability.
"I was just doing it out of convenience. Without me, you can awaken on your own. It is just a matter of time." Lin Dong waved his hand.
"…" Qianjun did not open his mouth to thank him.
There were no words to thank him!
She knew that if it wasn't for him, she might have died.
Moreover, without his unsealing of the curse and gene modification, how could she awaken? It could be said that everything she had was given by him. He just didn't want her to feel burdened, so he deliberately said it in such a relaxed manner.
Ye Qianru bit her lower lip and did not open her mouth to thank him. Obviously, she had also thought of it.
Lin Dong saw that they were silent and the atmosphere was a little heavy. Hence, he smiled at them and said, "If you want to thank me, then work hard to train yourself! When you can help, then you can return it to me! " Qianjun and Ye Qianru looked at each other. They knew that they might not be able to repay this kindness in this lifetime. However, they still nodded excitedly. "Alright, we will definitely be of great help!"
"They can cultivate now. Go back and teach them how to sense Qi!" Lin Dong handed this task to Yun You You.
"You only know how to be a hands-off boss!" Yun You You You was a little dissatisfied, although she did not object in the end.
"Capable people do more work." Lin Dong quickly flattered the female martial cultivator.
"Hmph!" The female martial cultivator rewarded him with a cute eye roll.
The real entrance to the underground palace.
It was a cave paved with stone steps.
It was four to five meters high and it was unknown how far it extended into the depths of the earth. After walking for about half an hour, Lin Dong finally reached a huge cave. In the cave, there were four heavy stone doors that stood in the directions of north, south, east, and west.
"Which door is the real entrance to the underground palace?" Qianjun and Ye Qianru could not tell which was east and which was north and which was south.
"These four doors are not the real entrance. The real entrance is already explained by the tablet outside." Lin Dong walked to an inconspicuous stone wall and pushed it hard as if it was a door. Yun You You went forward to help him, but when Qianjun and Ye Qianru approached, she immediately signaled them to leave. Qianjun and Ye Qianru could not see, but they felt some kind of power that was like a giant hand strangling Lin Dong and Yun You You's bodies.
Rumble!
It was accompanied by a loud sound!
The violent shock wave swept through the entire cave. Even though Qianjun and Ye Qianru retreated a hundred meters away, they were still thrown into the air. They flipped a few times before landing on the ground. Luckily, they had undergone life "awakening" previously. Regardless of whether it was their body's coordination or reflexes, they had extraordinary growth. They were like civet cats. They flipped in the air and landed lightly on the ground.
Unlike them, Yun You You, who was in the center of the shock wave, was thrown more than thirty meters away. When her feet landed on the ground, she actually cracked the hard stone surface.
It was even worse for Lin Dong. The shock wave was mainly aimed at him.
He landed on the ground like a cannonball. His body plowed a few shallow pits on the ground and his clothes were ruined.
Luckily, even though he and Yun You You were in a sorry state, they were not injured. Lin Dong tore off his tattered clothes and quickly changed into a new one. Yun You You also tore off one of her tattered sleeves without a sound, revealing a jade arm that was as white as snow.
"…" Qianjun and Ye Qianru looked at this snow-white jade arm and were extremely envious. If they were compared with others, they would be very confident. However, when compared with Yun You You, no matter where they were, they would feel inferior and ashamed of their inferiority. How could a person be so perfect? How much did the heavens dote on her to create such a flawless woman? They did not know that Yun You You possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure Body. Not to mention the mortal world here, even in the Cultivation World, it was a treasure that countless fairies yearned for. Otherwise, they would definitely feel even more depressed!
However, come to think of it.
Yun You You, who possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure Body, if she did not look good in all aspects, that would be unbelievable … Would a piece of white jade look the same as coal? That was obviously impossible!
"Let's go!" Yun You You was very helpless. Even if her body was a little whiter, it had nothing to do with cultivation.
Moreover, you are all girls. Why do you have such exaggerated expressions?
That fellow was a man.
He even ignored it like a blind man!
Lin Dong did not make a sound. It was just an arm. What was the big deal? Would he go around saying that he had seen Sister You You's pink and tender body? It was not only Sister You You's naked body. Which of the three sisters present had not let him see them at least once? Especially Qianjun. She had seen him twice. If one were to exaggerate, he might know more about her secrets than she knew herself …
The real door opened from the stone wall and they entered through the spiral staircase that extended downwards.
Half an hour later, a space that was as vast as the sky appeared in front of Lin Dong and Yun You You's eyes.
The stone dome that was hundreds of meters high shone with beautiful light. It was either red, orange, yellow or green. The gentle light filled the entire space with a kind of dreamy color. There was a small green and white bridge in front of them. It was thin and long and laid on the calm sapphire lake. At the very far end, there were several strange buildings that were mainly purple and decorated with gold and white.
"Beautiful, it's too beautiful. That must be the legendary underground palace of the Imperial Mausoleum!" Qianjun could not help but sigh. In her life, she had never seen such a beautiful building. It was simply like a fairyland in a painting.
"It's a little strange!" Lin Dong frowned and smiled. "However, it's only interesting this way!"
