Chapter 769

What's going on? Why has the lake water beneath the ground suddenly become so turbulent?

Luo En's heart tightened, and he instinctively sped up his swimming.

Suddenly, the lake water solidified.

They spun wildly, pushing Luo En back and forth.

Luo En felt the energy within the lake water had suddenly become strange.

Ever since he absorbed the energy of the ginseng.

He had discovered that he was continuously absorbing the power within the lake water.

Although the absorption rate was slow.

But Luo En might sense subtle changes occurring within his body.

But now the lake water had become turbulent.

Luo En felt a wave of dizziness wash over his mind.

At that moment, he seemed to hear many strange sounds.

Luo En strained to turn his head, wanting to see where the sounds originated.

But there was nothing there.

He always felt that something hidden lurked nearby.

This feeling grew stronger and stronger.

And Luo En was now deeply submerged in the lake bottom.

Besides searching for an exit, he also began searching for that peculiar place.

Surely the more peculiar the place, the greater the chance of finding rare treasures.

Following that stream of energy, Luo En quickly spotted a cave.

He swiftly swam toward it.

But Luo En felt something unexpected.

This place seemed strangely familiar.

He had the impression he had been here before.

But there was no time left for him to think.

He had to swim upward as quickly as possible.

When he passed through the cave entrance, he suddenly felt an opening.

He quickly swam upward.

Splash!

Luo En finally broke the surface, exhaling a long breath.

It seemed he had finally escaped.

At that moment, Luo En's smile froze.

He saw a shadow standing not far away.

The shadow seemed equally surprised as it looked at Luo En and said:

"Those who enter this lake and return are rare."

"You are the first."

Luo En was greatly astonished.

He hadn't expected that after circling around, he had ended up right back here.

With no other choice, he climbed out of the lake water.

The shadow suddenly appeared before Luo En.

He stared at Luo En in great surprise.

"How did you manage it?"

Luo En said:

"I saw this lake and went down to test it out.

I had no intention of fleeing."

But the man shook his head.

"That's not what I meant.

How did you survive down there?

Anyone who enters the lake water.

Has never come out alive.

Not even the Master of Turbid Qi could manage it."

Luo En said in surprise:

"What kind of lake water is this? Is it really so strange?"

The shadow said:

"This place is called the Scorching Bones Ground.

It is filled with a blazing flame energy.

Anyone who enters here is reduced to white bones.

No one has ever survived.

So why are you unharmed?"

Luo En did not mention the ginseng.

He could always sense that the ginseng must be extraordinarily precious.

He just said with a smile.

"Perhaps my strength is greater than all of theirs."

Saying this, he looked toward the Kage.

"So if you want to stop me, it may not be an easy thing to do."

The Kage said.

"I know your strength is not bad.

The reason Master was willing to let you stay.

Was so that he could protect you, and let you grow even faster."

Luo En shook his head, he said.

"Only by going out to venture can one raise one's strength as quickly as possible.

If one stays inside a greenhouse all the time.

Then one's strength can only come to a standstill."

The Kage said.

"I understand this principle, and Master does too.

But right now the outside is extremely dangerous.

Perhaps you simply cannot understand what I'm saying.

But I imagine you'll know soon enough."

Luo En looked toward the Kage with some surprise.

Although he could not make out the Kage's features.

He could sense that the Kage was very serious right now.

Luo En said.

"I really can't quite understand what you all are saying.

The outside is dangerous, but I just came in from outside."

The Kage said.

"Invisibly, a certain aura has already locked onto you.

They want to make a move against you.

Inside the castle, it has the effect of isolating auras from outside.

So it can keep you safe for a short time.

The reason Master wants you to cultivate as quickly as possible.
