Inhaling and exhaling, the air around him surged like a tide.
When the morning clouds jumped out of the horizon, Chu Yan opened his eyes, faced Fallen Soul River and stood up.
"Netherpassage Alligator Turtle, I'm coming."
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yan dashed forward and jumped high into the air by the river. Then, like a straight javelin, he drew an arc in the air and dived into the water.
With a splash, a few splashes appeared on the surface of the water, and then everything returned to normal.
Fallen Soul River — — One of the four great dangerous grounds of metazoan.
The river was sixty meters wide and meandering through the entire metazoan.
In the entire river, the leaves did not fall, and the water was as heavy as silver.
If a normal person were to fall inside, they would be squashed to death by the Fallen Soul River's river water. Even their weightless souls were unable to float out, so the Fallen Soul River got its name.
If you were careless and fell into the Rotten Mud Swamp, you might be saved by your comrades. But if you fall into the Fallen Soul River, no matter how many apprentices you have, they won't be able to float.
There were rumours that the bottom of the Fallen Soul River's river was covered with white bones, but no one saw it with their own eyes.
But this time, Chu Yan was not afraid and directly jumped into the river.
His confidence came from the Spirit Mountain Pool's cultivation a while ago, as well as his immortal demon body in the Postnatal Realm.
The water in the Fallen Soul River was similar to the water in the spirit mountain pool. They were both exceptionally heavy, comparable to mercury.
The only difference between the two was that the water in the Fallen Soul River did not contain spirit energy and was useless for cultivation. The water also did not have the power to push against the ceiling.
The biggest characteristic of Chu Yan's immortal demon body was that through tempering, he could increase his body's resistance to any kind of strength.
Through his cultivation in the Spirit Mountain Pool, Chu Yan's immortal demon body had already become far more resistant to this kind of water pressure.
This was why he had the confidence to enter this forbidden area in the eyes of the other acolytes.
But of course, Chu Yan wasn't blind enough to be unprepared. He just charged straight down.
The whole afternoon's preparation and the whole night's rest had been done just in case.
After diving into the water, Chu Yan immediately felt a strong force, like a steel plate weighing thousands of pounds, pressing down on his back, pushing him towards the river.
At the same time, the four walls also seemed like they were pressing down on him, wanting to squeeze out all the air in his lungs.
At this moment, the pressuring ability of the Spirit Mountain Pool showed an extraordinary effect.
Chu Yan stretched his arms and legs. It didn't take him long to get used to the pressure in the river.
At that time, Chu Yan was in the Spirit Mountain Pool, and he could dive to a depth of 60 feet. Now, he estimated that the pressure in the Fallen Soul River, was around the same as the 40 feet depth of the Spirit Mountain Pool.
With the help of immortal demon body, Chu Yan quickly adapted to the pressure that was everywhere in Fallen Soul River.
After he adapted, he took out a Water-Repellent Inscription from the storage bag and activated it.
When he was cultivating in the Spirit Mountain Pool, Chu Yan asked Su Yuqing to prepare quite a few Water-Repellent Inscriptions for him.
With this, he could stay at the bottom of the river for two hours without taking any air.
Before he came this time, because he had decided to come to Fallen Soul River in advance, Chu Yan got Su Yuqing to draw some for him.
At this moment, at the bottom of the river, he was no longer affected by the pressure and breathing.
After getting used to the slightly blue light at the bottom of the river, Chu Yan started to swim forward.
Not long after, Chu Yan saw a large patch of aquatic plants in front of him, estimated to be at least ten acres.
These aquatic plants were all floating at the bottom of the river. As the water flowed, it would sway left and right, densely packed together. It looked extremely strange, as if it was a long, unbroken stream of hair.
But of course, the seaweed was much longer than the hair. Chu Yan was probably a lot taller than an adult when he looked at the seaweed that was now standing upright.
Chu Yan's target this time was the Underworld Alligator Turtle, which was in this aquatic plant.
"The third grade dire beast, the Netherpassage Alligator Turtle, is one of the hardest to deal with amongst the lower grade dire beasts."
Chu Yan recalled the information about this Huang Beast.
"Not only is it difficult to deal with, it will also cause great inconvenience to the cultivators. At the same time, it will also have a hard shell, making it hard to break with normal weapons. But that is not important, what's more, it will also have a large group of —"
Chu Yan silently recalled in his heart. At the same time, he concentrated and swam towards the water grass bit by bit.
The bottom of the river was very quiet. Even though the water grass swayed left and right, it still seemed very quiet.
However, it was also because of this that the current scene appeared exceptionally eerie and strange.
There was no movement around him, but Chu Yan's nerves were tense.
That was because he was well aware of the danger that could appear at any time. Even if he was not careful, he would still suffer greatly.
Two hundred feet …
Ten Zhang — —
Five Zhang — —
Ten meters —
Chu Yan was getting closer and closer to the aquatic plants.
Suddenly, Chu Yan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile.
In a patch of aquatic grass not far from him, he saw something that looked like a protruding rock.
One of those things was exposed while the other was hidden within the aquatic plants.
Chu Yan was sure that it was the tail of the Underworld Crocodile.
"It seems that my luck is quite good. I originally thought that just searching would require a bit of effort." Chu Yan thought.
The Netherworld Alligator was like a turtle that rarely left its nest. Since Chu Yan found it here, it meant that this was its nest.
Chu Yan continued to get closer. When he was less than three meters away from the Netherworld Alligator's tail, he took out the Soul-Sealing Spear.
However, before he could attack, the water in front of him seemed to boil and churn violently. At the same time, a large amount of white foam appeared.
Chu Yan's eyes narrowed. He immediately saw the plants that were within reach separate from each other.
At the same time, in addition to the head of the Netherpassage Alligator Turtle that was as big as a washbasin and as sharp as a stone, dozens of silver, palm-sized, palm-sized fish appeared from within the aquatic plants and were currently staring at him.
"Armored pike!" Chu Yan's expression instantly changed.
The water pressure in Fallen Soul River, the denseness of the aquatic plants, the armor of the Underworld Crocodile, these were all not difficult things in Chu Yan's eyes.
What made Chu Yan feel really difficult, and what was even life-threatening, was this large group of people that seemed to be parasitic of the Underworld Crocodile tortoise — — Armored pike!
At this moment, it was obvious that Chu Yan had used the natural advantage of the aquatic dire beasts to be the first to discover him before Chu Yan could make a move.
Chu Yan even started to suspect if these guys were the same as when he was dealing with the Corpse Fragrant Shadow Cat. They were deliberately acting weak at the start, waiting for the other party to get close before suddenly attacking.
But now, Chu Yan didn't have time to think about the possibility of this happening.
The moment the Armored pike made contact, Chu Yan already used the Soul Locking Spear without hesitation to stab the river bottom and retreat as fast as he could.
