Chapter 115 Dragon's Nest

Whenever they encounter a suitable team along the way, the three of them will launch an attack without hesitation.

Surprisingly, through this method, the beast cores that had been depleted became abundant again in just a few days.

Each person was filled to the brim, the quantity of which was beyond imagination;

Not only that, they also collected a considerable amount of the various rare materials needed to refine elixirs.

As time went on, more and more teams mysteriously disappeared, and this anomaly eventually alerted the Fruit Spirits.

Especially after Zhu Lu returned, the people of Yekou Ridge learned an important piece of information—among the three humans, one was a cultivator with strength approaching that of a level three savage beast!

The subsequent losses of the search teams over the next few days further confirmed the authenticity of this news.

Faced with this situation, the fruit spirits quickly made adjustments.

From then on, all the search teams were led by more powerful beasts at the initial stage of the fourth level.

As a result, although the number of search teams was reduced, their overall strength was greatly enhanced.

Under these circumstances, it was impossible for Kuang Zheng and his two companions to launch another sneak attack.

After all, the highest cultivation level among the three of them was only at the peak of the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm. With such strength, they might be able to launch a sneak attack on an ordinary early stage of the third level.

However, if it is a level four beast, let alone a sneak attack, it will be detected immediately if it gets too close.

The fourth level is equivalent to the Heartbeat stage, and such strength is enough to crush them now.

Therefore, let alone a sneak attack, even getting slightly close will result in immediate detection.

Although Kuang Zheng and Wu Ren were only one step away from the fusion stage, their days of fleeing had left them with no time to seek a breakthrough.

Never underestimate this one-line difference; it actually separates an entire realm!

Although in terms of combat power, Kuang Zheng is now able to hold his own against a savage beast at the initial stage of the third level.

But that's just combat power, and it's only at the ordinary level three realm.

To achieve a decisive victory, one must seize the opportune moment, the advantageous location, and the support of the people.

If any one of these steps is missing, success is absolutely impossible.

Now that the search team is led by a level four beast, they have no hope.

At any time, one's own strength is always the most important thing.

Taking shortcuts can only work temporarily; only superior skills can lead to victory!

Although the beast cores were tempting and what they needed, the search team led by a level four savage beast would not give them any chance at all.

In light of this, the three decided to call it quits while they were ahead.

After successfully capturing two more search teams led by level-three beasts yesterday, the three immediately stopped their search.

After packing everything, they embarked on a long journey under Kuang Zheng's guidance.

Having absorbed the memories of the White Dragon, the Wild Plains, while not quite like his own backyard, are at least a place where he can easily evade his pursuers in the short term.

After all, the three of them weren't trying to break out of their encirclement, but rather to walk inside it.

And so, the group traveled day and night for seven days and seven nights.

Finally, under Kuang Zheng's guidance, they arrived at a giant lake.

The vast lake surface, with its misty waves, seems to connect with the horizon, and you can't see the end of it at all.

The lake water has a deep blue color, as dazzling as the finest sapphire.

The closer you get to the center of the lake, the deeper the color of the water becomes, as if it can suck your soul into it.

From above, the lake resembles a crystal-clear pearl, cleverly set within the vast and boundless jungle.

It lay there quietly, exuding a mysterious and alluring charm.

Upon seeing the "familiar" lake from his memory, Kuang Zheng finally revealed a relieved smile.

Faced with this completely unfamiliar environment, Ying Yue and Wu Ren were filled with curiosity, and they looked around.

It's certain they've never been here before, which means Kuang Zheng has never been either.

Since entering the wilderness, the group had been inseparable.

Strangely, Kuang Zheng seemed very familiar with everything here, because his goal had been very clear all along: the vast lake in front of him.

Under the curious gaze of the two, Kuang Zheng suddenly plunged headfirst into the lake like an arrow released from a bow.

A tiny ripple appeared on the water's surface, and then he quickly submerged into the lake, disappearing without a trace.

Although Ying Yue and Wu Ren were baffled by Kuang Zheng's sudden action, their years of tacit understanding meant they did not hesitate at all. Almost at the same time as Kuang Zheng entered the water, the two of them followed suit and dived underwater.

Shortly after entering the water, the two spotted Kuang Zheng.

For cultivators, holding their breath for extended periods is not difficult.

Under Kuang Zheng's guidance, the three of them sped forward at an astonishing speed, like fish swimming in water.

In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared in front of them, and they could no longer be caught.

As they continued to dive deeper, the surrounding light grew dimmer and dimmer until they were completely plunged into darkness.

However, Kuang Zheng had no intention of stopping and continued to venture deeper into the depths.

As if something deeper was drawing him in, Ying Yue and Wu Ren, though puzzled, still followed closely.

Fortunately, even in the pitch-black depths of the pool, they were still able to sense each other's unique aura, so they didn't lose track of each other.

And so, the group swam underwater for four hours in the pitch-black lake. Time seemed to stand still at the bottom of the lake, where there were no landmarks and no sense of water movement.

Every minute and every second felt so long; they didn't know how much longer it would take to reach their destination.

In such a confined environment, every minute is a tremendous psychological challenge.

Just when the two were on the verge of collapse, a faint light suddenly appeared overhead.

This glimmer of light was like a ray of hope in the darkness, instantly igniting the joy in their hearts.

For them, holding their breath for a long time is not a problem, but being in this oppressive environment for a long time puts them under tremendous pressure, both physically and mentally.

If it weren't for their unwavering trust in Kuang Zheng, the two of them probably wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer.

They finally saw the light that represented hope, how could they not be happy?

So, the two of them mustered their strength, followed closely behind Kuang Zheng, and leaped upwards with all their might!

"Splash..." Water splashed everywhere.

The three people leaped high into the water like three nimble fish, and then landed steadily.

The all-pervasive water pressure vanished instantly, leaving me feeling incredibly light and almost like I was about to fly.

The feeling of being grounded made all three of them breathe a sigh of relief; this sense of ease from the bottom of their hearts was simply indescribable.

When Wu Ren finally saw what was happening in front of him, his eyes were filled with shock!

Although Kuang Zheng had gained some understanding of this through the white dragon's consciousness, he was still speechless with surprise when he saw it with his own eyes.

When Ying Yue saw the scene before her, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!

What unfolded before them was a breathtaking and dreamlike scene.

The first thing that catches the eye is the cave ceiling, which is as dazzling as a starry sky.

The cave ceiling is nearly a thousand meters above the ground, and from a distance, it looks like a huge, inverted pot lid covering the cave.

The cave ceiling is densely covered with all kinds of colorful gemstones, twinkling like stars.

The dazzling light emitted by these gems intertwined, illuminating the vast, seemingly endless cave with a bright and clear glow, making one feel as if they were in a dreamlike, wondrous world.

Turning your gaze to the northwest corner, you can see various stalactites of all shapes and colors standing there.

Some resemble giant dragons coiling, some look like fairies dancing, and some stand tall like pagodas... a dazzling array that takes your breath away.

The most spectacular feature is undoubtedly the three round, giant stalactites in the very center. They stand like pillars supporting the sky, piercing through the entire cave, towering and majestic.

At the base of these three giant stalactites, a crystal-clear spring is flowing gently. As the water ripples, crystal-clear water droplets splash up and shimmer with a mesmerizing luster under the refraction of light.

On one side of the clear spring, a hot spring with steaming water is flowing gently.

The hot and cold spring waters converge in a low-lying area, forming a unique pool resembling a yin-yang symbol.

The two springs, one hot and one cold, both merge and remain separate, creating a magical scene that makes one marvel at the wonders of nature.

What's even more surprising is that, despite not feeling a breeze in this huge cave, the air is exceptionally fresh.

The air was filled with the scent of fresh grass, and every breath was invigorating.
