He ran all the way to the lake.
As Lin Yan walked, he was still thinking about what the Spirit Marrow was.
Everyone knew that in order to use the Spirit Marrow, one had to use the Spirit Transformation item. Otherwise, they would be attacked by the spiritual substance in the Spirit Marrow. They would either be crazy or crippled.
However, if the influence of the spiritual substance had already been eliminated, why would it distort their mind?
Moreover, this distortion was not random and crazy. It was obvious that some consciousness was manipulating it behind the scenes to achieve certain goals. How did they do it?
He could not figure it out. There were still too few clues.
Thinking back to when Xiaozhi absorbed the remains of the Spirit Marrow, there was a huge change…
Lin Yan vaguely felt that the Spirit Marrow might be related to the extremely deep mysteries of this world, including how to save Xiaozhi. It would also be greatly related to this Spirit Marrow…
Soon, they arrived at the lake. Lin Yan threw away the noisy thoughts in his mind.
The most important thing now was to focus and go into the water to explore the cave!
After diving into the water, the battle between the Poison-Toothed Trout and the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach had already come to an end. Many Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach fragments could be seen in the lake.
However, the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach’s results were also outstanding. When Lin Yan pa.s.sed by the jade pillars, he realized that every jade pillar had varying degrees of gaps and damage. They were riddled with holes. There were even two jade pillars that had been cut in the middle and had fallen to the bottom of the lake.
This was what he saw. He did not know how many jade pillars there were in places he could not see.
Although he didn’t know why the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach dug up the jade pillars, it was obvious that they had achieved some of the goals they wanted.
Lin Yan only took a few glances before ignoring them and swimming towards his destination.
He came to the trembling jade pillar again and devoured all the Poison Teeth Trouts that pounced over. Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this jade pillar was still intact.
Lin Yan had previously guessed that the reason why the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach entered the water might be because of the fluctuation emitted by this jade pillar that affected the Poison-Toothed Trout. That was why it gave the Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach a chance to enter the water in large quant.i.ties.
When he arrived at the cave beside the jade pillar again, Lin Yan sensed that all the clones had been crushed by the water. He could only split out dozens of clones and put them in one after another.
After he constructed the internal structure of the underground cave again, the Savage Flame in Lin Yan’s hand churned and transformed into a short saber.
He lit up a ball of Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame as a light source and swam down the cave.
The hole also became narrower and narrower. Lin Yan waved the long saber in his hand. Although the resistance in the water was extremely strong, the long saber was sharp enough to cut off a large piece of stone that fell into the cave below.
With the help of the clone’s perception, the stone fell without any obstruction before Lin Yan continued to cut another piece.
On the way here, he had collected many Corpse Buddha c.o.c.kroach remains and the Essence Energy of the Poison-Toothed Trout through the Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame. It was enough to support him in circulating the Savage Flame for a long time. At this moment, as he dug down, the path became narrower and narrower.
However, after digging for about ten meters, the path became wide again and he had a feeling of being freed.
After putting away the Savage Flame, Lin Yan kept patting the water and went deeper into the waterway. The surrounding water pressure became greater and greater. Fortunately, his blood energy was rich and he had enough strength, so he could still withstand it.
His clones shattered again, and he didn’t plan to recreate them. The water pressure here was too great, and if the clones split out, they would immediately shatter.
As they continued to descend, the surroundings of the cave became wider and wider. This gave him a strange illusion, as if he was not diving deeper. Instead, he was floating up towards a wider area.
He went down for about a hundred meters. The water pressure here was already so great that Lin Yan had no choice but to use his strength to resist.
“I should be near the bottom, right?”
The surroundings were pitch-black, and the sound of water was quiet. Only the white light of the Spirit-s.n.a.t.c.hing Demonic Flame in Lin Yan’s hand was swallowed by the darkness.
“I’m here… Hmm?”
A few steps down, the first thing Lin Yan saw was a large pile of gravel at the bottom of the cave. It was obvious that he had just dug it out.
However, when he approached the pile of rocks with the help of the fire, he realized that the pile of rocks was clearly floating in the water!
There was no bottom under the water!
The pile of stones floated in the water. Below, there was even deeper water.
Moreover, there were no rock layers around him at all, as if the entire underground was hollow water.
Lin Yan swam towards the pile of stones and reached out to gently push it. He saw the floating stone being pushed down as if it was light.
However, after going down for a distance, the stone’s speed slowed down. Then, it slowly floated up and returned to its current position.
A few rocks were piled together, so Lin Yan took them down and threw them deeper.
The stone fell for a distance and also floated up again. Then, it rose and fell a few times at the same height as the stone pile before stopping.
The stone was actually floating in the water?
The density of the stone was twice that of liquid. If it could float the stone, it meant that the density in the water was similar to that of the stone or greater.
This couldn’t help but remind Lin Yan that he had seen it on a science program in his previous life. It was said that in some places at the bottom of the sea, there would be a special phenomenon called a salt pool. It was a salt water with a much higher salt content than the surrounding seawater. It gathered into a pond at the bottom of the sea, causing a distinct area to appear at the bottom of the sea..
