Chapter 236: Seeing the Youth Pull the Bow to the Full Again

The water surged, and the tranquility was completely shattered.

Ye Lin and the other two, hiding in the shadows, were all startled by this scene; none of them had expected that Wu Feiwen, who had been doting on Tang Shan and acting head-over-heels in love throughout their journey, would suddenly push her into the water.

Fortunately, Tang Shan was a decent swimmer; she quickly surfaced from the deep pool and let out a scream.

"Wu Feiwen! Are you crazy? Are you trying to break up? I will never forgive you for this, no matter what you say!"

But a scene that surprised Tang Shan occurred: Wu Feiwen, who had always been humble to the point of being dirt beneath her feet, did not fawn over her this time, but instead looked at her with a cold sneer.

"Forgive me? You'd better worry about yourself." Wu Feiwen looked at Tang Shan coldly.

Just as Tang Shan was about to speak, she felt a strange force rush straight into her heart meridian, causing her body to begin to stiffen.

"No! This pool water is highly toxic!"

Terror appeared in Tang Shan's eyes; under the shadow of death, she revealed a humble side in front of Wu Feiwen for the first time.

"Feiwen, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I will never cheat on you again! Please, save me!"

"Heh." Wu Feiwen sneered, arms crossed, making no move.

Tang Shan could only cast her gaze toward Wu Feiwen's four brothers.

"Save me! You all said you loved me!"

Unfortunately, those four men also maintained a calm and collected appearance, with no intention of saving her.

Only the kind-hearted fifth brother spoke up thoughtfully to explain to Tang Shan.

"Sister-in-law, sitting on a toilet when you have a stomachache is certainly satisfying, but who would fall in love with a toilet? It's just a bit of pleasure, did you really take it seriously?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Shan couldn't help but freeze, and then her gaze became incredibly venomous.

"I understand now! You were plotting against me from the very beginning! The feelings were fake, and the divine artifact is fake too!"

"You're wrong about that; the divine artifact is real, and we need you to help us get it. You are the highest-level poison-attribute job-changer I could find; the thing at the bottom of the Dragon Pool will really like you."

Wu Feiwen grinned, his smile extremely sinister.

"The thing at the bottom of the Dragon Pool?"

Tang Shan's eyes were filled with terror; she wanted to escape, but her body had long since been paralyzed by the toxins.

Just then, dark currents suddenly swirled at the very bottom of the Dragon Pool, and a pair of ghostly blue vertical pupils slowly opened, as if two blue moons had appeared in the depths of the pool!

Then, a massive black shadow sped from the depths of the Dragon Pool toward the surface; in an instant, the entire pool began to boil, bubbling and churning.

Tang Shan was terrified; she felt as if she had been targeted by a primordial beast, but before she could even let out a cry for help, she was swallowed by a massive whirlpool.

Wu Feiwen and his four brothers hid by the pool, watching this scene expressionlessly; only when the surface of the lake became completely calm did they rush out again.

"Be quick! Although the four of you planted high-potency sedatives in Tang Shan's body, those sedatives can only hold that thing off for three minutes at most! We must salvage the item within three minutes, otherwise, we'll be in danger!"

Wu Feiwen spoke in a rapid-fire manner, clearly extremely anxious.

He quickly took a specially made heavy iron chain from his storage space and tied it around his waist, while the other end of the chain was gripped in the hands of his four brothers.

Their movements were extremely practiced, clearly having rehearsed countless times.

Next, Wu Feiwen took out a transparent, crystalline bead; a look of pain at the cost flashed in his eyes, and then he crushed it and sprinkled it all over his body.

"Crushing a Water-Avoiding Bead? They really are willing to spend!" Duan Ling couldn't help but say.

She now completely believed what Xie Xiaoxiao had said; if there wasn't a divine artifact at the very bottom of the Dragon Pool, no one would be willing to crush a Water-Avoiding Bead directly.

The market price of a prop like a Water-Avoiding Bead is enough to rival an Epic-grade piece of equipment.

Moreover, this thing, like Ye Lin's Illusion Face, is reusable; yet, for the sake of being safer, Wu Feiwen directly crushed the Water-Avoiding Bead and sprinkled it on himself.

In this way, Wu Feiwen himself became equivalent to a large, human-shaped Water-Avoiding Bead, allowing him to perfectly avoid the toxic water inside the Dragon Pool.

"What is that black shadow at the bottom of the pool? Is it really a dragon?" Ye Lin asked in a low voice.

"Not a true dragon; where would there be a true dragon in this world? It's just a poisonous flood dragon that dreams of becoming a dragon, it doesn't even have dragon scales." Xie Xiaoxiao shook her head. "But that thing is still extremely terrifying; its level is probably around level 80. It would be hard for us to deal with it alone."

"But now... it's hard to deal with an 80th-level poisonous flood dragon, but it's not hard to deal with these job-changers who are only level 58 at most. We just need to pray they successfully fish out that divine artifact." Xie Xiaoxiao calmly analyzed the current situation.

Duan Ling was unhappy when she heard this.

"Every one of them is above level 50, and Ye Lin is only level 28. You call this 'not hard'? If you're so capable, you do it!"

"If I have to do it, I'll do it."

Xie Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Ye Lin; she had witnessed Ye Lin's true strength back in the No. 79 Secret Realm. Although Wu Feiwen and his group were a bit tricky, they were not yet something to be feared.

"Remember! Once two and a half minutes are up, no matter what happens, you must pull me up first, understand? If we fail this time, we can try again next time, but if we lose our lives, it's really over!"

Before going into the water, Wu Feiwen specifically gave one more instruction.

"Understood!" X4!

The four brothers all nodded.

Then Wu Feiwen stopped talking and leaped into the deep pool.

The surrounding pool water acted like oil meeting dish soap; the moment Wu Feiwen fell, the water actively parted to both sides, leaving a direct passage to the bottom of the pool for him.

By the time Wu Feiwen's feet touched the ground, half a minute had already passed.

There was no silt at the very bottom of the Dragon Pool, only hard rock.

He dared not delay for even a second and immediately began searching the bottom of the water.

Meanwhile, just as Wu Feiwen was busy at the bottom of the pool, Ye Lin and the other two also got busy.

They silently approached the four brothers Wu Feiwen had left on the shore.

"Ye Lin, let's use our combo skill!"

Duan Ling tugged at Ye Lin's sleeve as if she were sulking; it was clear she wanted to show off in front of Xie Xiaoxiao.

"Isn't that too dangerous?" Ye Lin frowned; these four people were all significantly higher in level than Duan Ling.

Although the four brothers would inevitably be poisoned if Duan Ling touched them even once, Duan Ling's physical body would also be injured or even die if she were attacked.

"Don't worry, I'm sure of it! Just use that move from last time, the one where I fly out and then fly back on my own!" Duan Ling reminded him.

"The boomerang? But you'll still be attacked while flying over..."

Ye Lin was still hesitant, but suddenly, as if thinking of something, he raised a finger.

"Hey! Get a bowl of noodles... no, wait, I have a lousy idea!"

Then Ye Lin whispered something into Duan Ling's ear; the more she heard, the brighter her eyes became, and she couldn't help but praise him.

"Good idea! Let's do that!"

Xie Xiaoxiao was confused on the side.

"What are you two talking about? What combo skill?"

"Hmph! That's a skill only Ye Lin and I know!" Duan Ling held her head high, her face full of superiority.

"Just watch and see! You'll be stunned into silence!"

Ye Lin excitedly picked up Duan Ling, and then took out the long-abandoned Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow from his Great Sumeru Ring.

Then he mounted Duan Ling onto the longbow and pulled it to a full draw.

"See the youth pull the bow to the full again, fearing neither the years nor the wind!"

"Go! Duan Ling!"

Under the blessing of Ye Lin's powerful strength attribute, accompanied by a 'whoosh', Duan Ling flew out like an arrow released from the string!

Xie Xiaoxiao: "......"
