Chapter 1493 - 1473: The Sneak Attack of the Golden Object

Yang Xiao, I feel the concentration of Genetic Evolution Energy here has reached the standard of a Level 9 Cultivation Field."

"We have walked approximately 300 meters along this passage, and it's a downward path, increasing the vertical distance underground by about 100 meters."

"The air is getting warmer, and the stone walls have become slippery."

Xing Zhe shone his flashlight forward and said:

"The end doesn't seem to be in sight ahead?"

"Let's keep going, maybe today we'll uncover the secret of the 101 Cultivation Field."

"Haha, should we thank Chu Tian, that scoundrel?"

"Definitely, once we get out, we'll properly thank him."

The two continued joking as they moved forward.

Their hearts grew increasingly excited, anticipating more miracles.

After walking another hundred meters or so, the underground passage suddenly widened—from about one meter to three meters, then to five meters, and finally to about ten meters.

Yang Xiao suddenly stopped and listened intently.

"Yang Xiao, what's wrong?"

"Do you hear anything? Like the sound of water, rushing."

Xing Zhe listened for a moment and nodded,

"It does sound like water rushing."

After saying that, Xing Zhe froze momentarily, looking at Yang Xiao and asked:

"Yang Xiao, what level is your Genetic Evolution exactly? Why can you perceive abnormal sound rebounds and hear distant water flow sounds, always ahead of me, that's unusual?"

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

"I just broke through to Emperor Level Realm."

"Impossible, why is your Divine Sense more sensitive than mine?"

"I don't know, my Divine Sense is slightly more sensitive than those at the same realm. You'll get used to it over time, haha!"

"..."

Continuing forward, the passageway suddenly became flat, no longer a consistent slope.

The width of the passage also increased again to tens of meters.

After walking for another one or two hundred meters, both suddenly stopped, astonished.

The passageway ahead suddenly expanded enormously, reaching about hundreds of meters, as if entering an underground palace.

The sound of rushing water became clearer, splashing as if very close.

"Xing Zhe, feel the concentration of Evolution Energy here, it seems denser than before."

"Yeah, I have already tested it. Compared to a Level 9 Cultivation Field, the Evolution Energy concentration here is twice as high."

"The end is still not reached; let's keep going but be cautious, I sense something strange."

Xing Zhe suddenly remembered something, saying:

"Yang Xiao, there's one more thing, I want to discuss it with you, would you mind hearing?"

"Go ahead, we are already in dire straits, what worse news could there be?"

"About the 101 Cultivation Field, there's a legend; have you heard of it?"

"What legend?"

"I happened to see it recorded in a library's geography magazine. The magazine summarized dangerous and mysterious areas on Wuji Island, including the 101 Cultivation Field."

"How did a Cultivation Field become a dangerous and mysterious place?"

"It's simple. The magazine mentioned that over the past hundred years, 58 people have disappeared in the 101 Cultivation Field; these people entered it for cultivation and never returned, innocently disappearing.

The academy had sent people to search but found nothing.

This led to the abandonment of the 101 Cultivation Field, as fewer people came to cultivate, preferring other places.

As cultivators visiting declined, maintenance costs for the academy skyrocketed, eventually withdrawing the maintenance personnel for the 101 Cultivation Field."

Yang Xiao glanced at Xing Zhe, gave a wry smile, and said:

"I feel more nervous after hearing this."

".....Haha..."

They continued moving forward, feeling a sudden sense of reality with the legends of the 101 Cultivation Field, causing some tension.

In the broad passageway, bizarre stones jutted, water droplets formed on the overhead stone walls, the ground was moist, with a faint mist in the air.

"There's a loud sound of water flowing ahead."

Yang Xiao said, moving forward.

Xing Zhe quickly followed.

In the blink of an eye, the two saw a two to three-meter-wide Underground River, flowing rapidly, with a thin mist hovering above the water.

"Wonder where this Underground River flows?"

"Let's move forward and see where the end of the passage is."

Continuing onward, suddenly, a gust of wind attacked them from the darkness.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe simultaneously struck with their palms.

"Bang!"

A shadow was instantly shattered by their combined attack, the air filled with a scent of blood.

"What was that?"

The two quickly used flashlights to illuminate around them, backing up to increase vigilance.

"Swish!"

Another gust of wind attacked Yang Xiao; this time, he was prepared, shining his flashlight ahead, seeing a gold object about half a meter long flying at him.

Considering the force from the previous attack, Yang Xiao knew the damage from this thing wasn't high; full force would certainly shatter it again.

To capture the attacking object and see what it was, Yang Xiao raised his hand, using his Ice Element Technique, a mist of ice enveloping the golden object in mid-air.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound,

The ice mist instantly enveloped the attacking object, freezing it completely.

The thing lost its attacking momentum, fell from the air, landing on the ground with a thud.

Yang Xiao barely had time to check the object on the ground when several more gold objects attacked.

Xing Zhe faced the same attack.

Seeing Yang Xiao use Ice Element Technique to freeze the attacking object, Xing Zhe did the same.

The two repeatedly struck, instantly freezing more than a dozen sneaky golden objects.

"What are these things?"

"I don't know, no time to check, probably some cave creatures."

"Oh gosh, so many, still coming."

The two instead, decisively expanded their reach, creating a protective ring of Extreme Cold Ice Fog around them. Any golden object flying into the white ice fog was instantly frozen and fell.

Minutes later, the ground piled with at least a hundred gold objects.

The attacks significantly reduced, gradually ceasing.

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe remained vigilant, keeping the surrounding Extreme Cold Ice Fog as a protective barrier, while using flashlights to examine the golden objects at their feet, breaking the icy shell with their feet for a closer look.

"Damn, aren't these fish?"
