Chapter 768

He could feel that these currents were also almost entirely flowing in that direction.

This proved that the exit should be there.

When Luo En reached the cave entrance.

He could feel his condition had grown worse again.

Those flowing waters continuously washed away the energy around him.

So his energy could not last long at all.

After a moment, he felt another wave of numbness and ache in his body.

He had to rise to the surface.

Otherwise his energy would soon be swallowed up.

But if he rose up like this, all his effort would be in vain.

After pondering for a moment, Luo En decided to take the risk.

He plunged straight into the cave with all his strength.

A loud boom rang out.

Luo En felt as if the energy from all directions surged toward him at once.

It was a very strange sensation.

And Luo En sensed that the space around him had suddenly fallen silent.

The entire world seemed to have become nothing but himself.

He frantically paddled, trying to push forward.

Even as he swam forward at top speed.

Yet Luo En could feel how impossibly vast this world was.

He could not see a single reference point.

In such conditions, one could easily become lost.

Luo En wanted to swim back.

But when he turned around, he found the cave entrance had vanished.

Now he felt as if immersed in a white, boundless ocean.

A sense of insignificance arose within him.

As Luo En sank into the lakebed.

That shadow suddenly appeared before the lake.

He muttered a curse.

"Damn it, this below is the Bone-Scorching Place.

No one can survive here.

It seems the master's wish has failed again."

Luo En swam rapidly forward.

But now he could not tell east from west.

He simply followed his imagined sense of forward.

He did not know how long he had swum.

Luo En always felt he remained within the lakebed.

When he tried to swim upward.

He discovered rocks blocked the way above.

It seemed he had been underground all along.

As time passed, Luo En felt the energy around him growing thinner.

This proved the lake water was steadily consuming his energy.

His energy would soon be exhausted.

Luo En's heart tightened.

He knew this could not continue.

He had to find an exit as soon as possible.

But this place looked utterly white and blank.

Nothing but lake water surrounded him.

Luo En could not find any exit.

At that moment, he suddenly sensed some movement ahead.

Luo En quickly swam toward it.

He saw a small vortex forming not far ahead.

And that vortex led straight down into the lakebed.

Luo En could see a small cave opening below it.

Luo En dashed toward it frantically.

The cave opening continuously bubbled.

It seemed something lay inside.

Luo En quickly dug open the opening.

He could feel a strange energy slowly emanating from within.

Though he did not know what it was, Luo En felt a flicker of anticipation.

A moment later, that stretch of area had been dug through completely by Luo En.

Suddenly his fingers brushed against something hard.

When he pulled the thing out,

he discovered it was the Root.

Luo En was quite astonished — how could the Root grow at the bottom of this lake?

Moreover, outside it was saturated with such bizarre energy.

Luo En knew this Root must be no simple thing.

He quickly wrapped the Root in energy.

Chapter 83: The Bizarre Lake

He could sense strange energy emanating from the Root.

Luo En thought it over — since the Root had been able to exist at the bottom of the lake for so long,

it must contain some substance capable of resisting that energy.

With that thought, Luo En shoved the Root straight into his mouth in one bite.

The Root entered his mouth,

and instantly dissolved into a stream of Qi.

In a flash, it was swallowed down by Luo En.

Luo En could feel a warm current rampaging wildly through him.

Then it slowly made its way to the dantian.

Finally, it settled down.

The moment that warm current appeared,

Luo En felt the aura outside suddenly grow gentle.

No longer as aggressive as before.

So he withdrew the energy surrounding him.

At last he felt the lake water had returned to normal.

To think this Root had such a wondrous effect.

Luo En was slightly reassured, and he continued swimming deeper inside.

Just then, he suddenly felt the entire lake churning wildly.

Luo En kept being tossed about amid the turbulent waters.

He looked around, yet spotted no one.
