Wei Huo pulled the chain with all his might and realized that he could not move it. It was as if there was a huge creature at the end of the chain.
Wei Huo did not use his full strength. If he did, the chain might break.
"It's time to go down!" Wei Huo mumbled to himself.
If he forcefully pulled the chain, he might destroy the Dragon Lock Well. It was better to go down and take a look.
The world outside the mountain had already dried up to the extreme. It was almost turning into a desert. It might not be a bad thing to be able to irrigate it with water from the well.
Wei Huo looked out of the window. At that moment, the sky was covered in dark clouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. It seemed like a downpour was about to happen.
Wei Huo was curious. Was there really a demonic dragon locked in the Dragon Lock Well? Would it cause trouble if it was released?
Wei Huo walked toward the Dragon Lock Well. The well water had already submerged him, but Wei Huo did not feel any discomfort. He could already breathe underwater.
Wei Huo pulled the chain and swam into the well. Water kept surging out, but Wei Huo held the chain in his hand. The weight of the chain offset the upward flow of water.
Wei Huo slowly descended with the chain in his hand. From time to time, deafening cow cries could be heard from the bottom of the well. It was said that the dragon's roar was similar to the cow's cry. There might really be a demonic dragon locked in the Dragon Lock Well.
It was not that Wei Huo did not believe it. He felt that there might be a Legendary-level Flood Dragon locked in the well. It had a domain and could cause trouble. Legendary creatures could live for thousands of years. This dragon might still be alive.
However …
Wei Huo looked at the chain in his hand. Could this chain really lock a Legendary-level creature?
Perhaps there was really a sea under the Dragon Lock Well. At the end of the chain was a plug that blocked the sea.
Wei Huo kept descending. He felt that he was falling too slowly, so he released his domain and used its power to pull him down.
The water from the well kept surging upwards. The lower it went, the stronger the force became. When Wei Huo arrived at the bottom of the well, he saw an extremely huge hole. The water from the well was surging out of the hole. Wei Huo's eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the hole.
It was pitch-black under the hole, and a terrifying sound could be heard. This was the end of the Dragon Lock Well. It seemed like it was connected to a pitch-black underground ocean.
It was not a big hole. Wei Huo slowly dived down and arrived at an infinitely wide underground space.
There was no end to this place. This place was gloomy and sealed. It was pitch-black here, and there was nothing but water around.
Wei Huo felt like he had arrived in a new world. The hole above his head was connected to another space-time continuum. It was land, and beneath his feet was a new area. There was no sky or ground there.
There was nothing there except a chain that kept extending downward. Although Wei Huo had arrived at the end of the Dragon Lock Well, he had yet to reach the end of the chain.
Wei Huo continued diving. He did not know what was hidden in the water, nor did he know what was in the pitch-black water beneath his feet. The chain might really be locking a terrifying beast in the depths of the water.
Wei Huo kept diving. The surrounding water was much quieter and calmer. However, there would be one or two streams of water from time to time, making one wonder if something had swum past.
Wei Huo's Divine Sense kept extending, but he could not reach the bottom. There seemed to be a black fog in the depths, but it was one with the darkness and could not be distinguished.
However, this was just a feeling. He felt like there was a terrifying creature in the depths of the water, but it did not seem like there was one. After all, Wei Huo did not really find any creatures.
There seemed to be a red light under the water. The red light was like a pair of eyes, and the water swayed as if something was flowing in the water. It also seemed like a monster in the deep sea had opened its mouth and was waiting for Wei Huo to fall into its mouth bit by bit.
A noise came from the depths of the water.
The noise sounded like the sound of some creature. The sound kept coming up, and the hole at the bottom of the Dragon Lock Well suddenly turned into a cow's cry. It sounded like a dragon's roar.
The sound came from the end of the chain. One could not help but guess if there was a huge monster at the end of the chain.
However, could this chain really lock a monster? Don't forget, the other end of the chain was tied to a stone tablet. What kind of creature could the stone tablet lock?
Wei Huo felt the pressure around him getting stronger. He had already dived thousands of meters. At that moment, the pressure in the water was huge. He could only emit his domain to resist the water pressure.
The terrifying sound got louder and louder, and it was very rhythmic. It sounded like snoring until Wei Huo's feet touched the mud at the bottom of the water.
Wei Huo's domain could extend hundreds of meters, so he had already discovered the cliff. On one side of Wei Huo was a huge deep water rift valley, and Wei Huo had yet to reach the end of the chain.
Wei Huo stopped because he had finally discovered a creature deep in the water.
It was a weird flat fish. The fish did not have a fixed body. It looked more like a fish-shaped rag. As the water flow and water pressure changed, its body would also change. It did not have eyes or fins. It just drifted away with the waves.
There were indeed creatures living in this vast water. However, Wei Huo could not imagine it. Had the person who had forged this chain come here personally in ancient times? How had they dived to this depth?
Not long after, Wei Huo saw the end of the chain. It was not at the bottom of the valley, but on a protruding cliff. There was a huge nail made of special metal there, and the end of the chain was tied to the top of the nail. Wei Huo continued diving into the Deepwater Rift Valley. Terrifying sounds kept coming from the rift valley. Wei Huo could see the end of the chain.
Wei Huo arrived in front of the huge nail and saw the words' Dragon-Suppressing Divine Nail Three 'on it.
It was a Dragon-Suppressing Divine Nail, and it was the third one. In other words, there was at least a first and a second one.
It was unknown what material the nail was made of. It had been nailed to the cliff for thousands of years and had been tied up by a chain.
Wei Huo caressed the Divine Nail and felt the extremely abundant energy in it. He suddenly understood that the Divine Nail was immortal and the chain was broken because of this energy!
It was just like how bronze filled with inner Qi was extremely hard and difficult to break. Bronze without inner Qi was no different from ordinary bronze.
Wei Huo felt it carefully and realized that this energy was Dragon Qi!
And this iron nail was suppressing a Dragon Vein!
Terrifying sounds kept coming from the depths of the water, but Wei Huo did not care anymore. He finally knew what the Dragon Lock Well was locking and why there were so many Dragon Lock Wells all over the country.
