Chapter 345

"Just a lake, what's so strange about it?" Gale Thunder said.

Su Yu gave a dry laugh and walked forward a few steps.

But an accident suddenly occurred.

The Heavenly Maiden Beast should have been at the same speed as Su Yu, but for some reason, the Heavenly Maiden Beast suddenly couldn't continue forward.

It was as if it had suddenly hit some transparent barrier, its facial flesh squeezed together, looking miserable.

Su Yu immediately squatted down to check. He reached out to probe and found that there was no such barrier in front of him.

Su Yu soon thought that it was the Xunfa Secret Realm's rules that realized this, not allowing the life-bound beast to be brought in to break the rules.

He sighed, touched the Heavenly Maiden Beast's head, and said:

"It seems it won't let me cheat, so I can't bring you in."

The Heavenly Maiden Beast let out an "Awoo" and was taken back by Su Yu.

"See, I said how could such a crazy secret realm let you bring a life-bound beast in to break the rules." Dijiaro said.

Su Yu sighed. If the life-bound beast couldn't follow him in, his path afterward would be very difficult, especially because no one would help him explore the path, and he would fall into danger.

This was the difficulty the secret realm wanted him to experience.

Su Yu thought about it, didn't hesitate anymore, and stepped forward. He didn't care much about what was in front; anyway, he would kill gods if gods blocked him, and kill Buddhas if Buddhas blocked him.

The lake water was pitch black, and it was very quiet here. The level of terror was no less than the ancient castle.

Su Yu wasn't very afraid of this slightly terrifying atmosphere; what he had always been worried about was that kind of unknown fear.

"Jump down."

Su Yu paused, thinking he had misheard.

"Jump down... jump down..."

The voice rang out over and over again. Su Yu could feel that this voice was ringing from the depths of his mind, and as Su Yu kept approaching the lake shore, it became clearer.

"Jump down... jump down..."

This voice was like a spell, constantly urging Su Yu to act according to its command. Su Yu looked at the lake with straight eyes, but was soon awakened by Gale Thunder in the Card Imperial Space.

"What are you doing? Are you really going to jump down?"

Su Yu's mind cleared up a bit in an instant. He shook his head, trying to drive that voice out of his mind, but it was useless.

Su Yu didn't answer Gale Thunder's question immediately, because he realized that this voice might not be to bewitch him; it was very likely a hint, because there was no other way to go beside the lake shore.

If he wanted to cross this lake, he had to jump down.

"Mm, I'm going down. It's giving me a hint." Su Yu said firmly.

Gale Thunder still wanted him to be more cautious, but then thought of Su Yu's essence and didn't speak.

Su Yu walked to the lake, reached out to probe the water inside. The water was extremely cold, almost with a bone-chilling feeling.

Su Yu didn't hesitate anymore and jumped in.

The moment his skin touched the lake water, Su Yu had a bone-chilling feeling, but he didn't feel suffocated underwater, meaning he could breathe underwater.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief and swam toward the deeper place.

If Su Yu hadn't guessed wrong, there must be some treasure in the depths of this lake; otherwise, it would be unreasonable to let him take risks for no reason.

What surprised Su Yu was that the further down he went, the brighter it became, and the water became warmer. He could feel the feeling of his body running in the water, but he could also breathe normally as if he were on the shore.

So it was very magical.

Su Yu swam all the way down. The light almost became blindingly strong in the end. He slowly exhaled and accelerated to rush toward that light source.

When Su Yu saw the light source, his heart moved. He saw that the thing emitting light was actually a treasure chest consistent with the one in the ancient castle, which meant there must be treasure inside.

Gale Thunder analyzed calmly:

"...It's very likely that there's still a notebook inside. Be prepared."

Su Yu nodded. He didn't feel it was an unfortunate thing to have a notebook in the treasure chest anymore.

Facts proved that Gale Thunder's guess was correct; there was indeed a yellowed notebook lying in the treasure chest.

Su Yu held the notebook like a treasure, put it into his storage space, and then looked for an exit.

But he swam through the entire bottom of the lake and didn't find the so-called exit.

Su Yu returned to the place where the treasure chest was placed. He stared at the treasure chest and approached a few steps thoughtfully.

Afterward, Su Yu stepped his foot into the middle of the treasure chest and really felt a strong suction. The next second, Su Yu disappeared at the bottom of the lake.

When he opened his eyes again, Su Yu found himself in a cage.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to confirm the surrounding environment. What shocked him was that except for the cage that imprisoned him being black, all the colors around were white.

It was an ethereal white that made people feel panicked and short of breath when they looked at it.

Su Yu decisively withdrew from the Xunfa Secret Realm and didn't dwell on how to escape.

Seeing him come out, Dijiaro laughed:

"Why didn't you continue to clear it? You escaped this time. When you go in next time, the location will still be in that cage. It's better to pass this level this time."
