Chapter 1739: Chapter 934: Qiongqi
Seeing her goodwill turn into a lost cause, Hua Shengmi said to Lin Feng in a huff: "Lin kid, if you don’t believe it, that’s your problem. Don’t blame me later when you face danger."
At that moment, the Thunder Fire Pool beneath Lin Feng emitted a deafening flash of lightning, and the energy within erupted upwards.
The immense blaze bathed Lin Feng, and, well, half of his Qiankun Bag and Space Treasures fell into the Thunder Fire Pool. These treasures were immune to damage and wouldn’t break.
Thus, only Lin Feng’s clothes got burned, leaving him stark naked.
Hua Shengmi exclaimed, "You rogue."
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and continued, "Come on, after all these years, how many baths have I taken? Haven’t you seen everything already?"
Seeing Lin Feng’s indifferent look, typical of an old hand, Hua Shengmi pouted but finally quieted down.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll jump into the Thunder Fire Pool to see what’s going on below." Lin Feng grinned mischievously and leaped into the pool.
Despite Lin Feng’s cultivation having regressed, his Ninth Grade Treasure-level body quality was only slightly below Divine Artifact level, so these attacks from the Thunder Fire Pool didn’t faze him. His body quality hadn’t regressed, rendering the pool harmless to him.
No wonder he came from Star Fall Mountain unscathed through so many dangers. His unusually high body quality was unmatched by the strength of his meridians and cultivation.
"Splash," Lin Feng jumped into the Thunder Fire Pool. Inside, it felt like stepping into hot water, akin to soaking in a hot spring.
Once inside, Lin Feng gathered the sinking space treasures with his hands, storing them in his mysterious floating container.
When Lin Feng acquired a clothing brocade bag, he didn’t forget to take out a set of clothes to wear. But wearing clothes in the Thunder Pond proved foolish, as they immediately disintegrated.
Lin Feng shouted, "Come on! Watch me put on a Ninth Grade Treasure Cloth, let’s see if you can dissolve it."
Upon speaking, his thoughts summoned the Ninth Grade Treasure Cloth, which transformed into a brilliant stream of light, enveloping his body.
Unfazed by the Thunder Fire Pond Water, his barrier remained undampened.
Seeing the Qiankun Bag containing Soul Devices, a gigantic beast resembling a qilin extended a paw, striking at Lin Feng.
Upon the paw’s arrival, it stirred colossal waves, destabilizing the Thunder Fire Pond Water further, with electric flashes becoming increasingly apparent.
"Certainly dangerous!" Lin Feng exclaimed, seemingly regretting not heeding Hua Shengmi’s earlier warning.
Hua Shengmi merely gave Lin Feng a slight, mocking smile.
With a firm resolve, Lin Feng employed Wind Character Technique, Wind Defense; with considerable improvement from before, easily deflecting such a simple attack.
Though electric flashes persisted, Wind Defense absorbed various attributes, rendering it unconcerned.
Successfully countering the sudden attack, Lin Feng was pushed far back in the water, while the Qiankun Bag he was close to snatching slipped further away, descending deeper.
With determination, Lin Feng glared towards the paw’s direction.
He only saw a bizarre creature resembling a lion or qilin, clad in lightning, staring at him underwater.
Its angry gaze appeared more terrifying than a golden dragon.
Looking up at the water’s surface, Lin Feng, shocked, wasn’t sure what this creature was, and asked Hua Shengmi, "Xiaomi, what is this thing?"
Though upset, facing life-threatening danger, Hua Shengmi prioritized wisely, replying in a refined, melodic voice: "It’s the Qiongqi."
"Ah, isn’t Qiongqi from the Classic of Mountains and Seas? It really exists in the Six Realms!" Lin Feng gasped, caught between surprise and shock.
Before Lin Feng could fully process his astonishment, the Qiongqi launched its attack.
An Eighth Grade Spiritual Beast Fire, a sky-blue thunder-fire energy swiftly amassed, spelling certain doom for Lin Feng in the water.
Trapped, Lin Feng had no choice but to brace for impact.
Electric fire energy directly threatens the soul’s destruction, and even Lin Feng’s high body quality wouldn’t suffice. Hence, besides awaiting death, little time remained for him.
The Thunder Fire’s radiance exploded within the Thunder Fire Pond Water, an overpowering underwater electric vortex formed from supernaturally charged lightning and pond water, rushing at Lin Feng.
Engulfed by the vortex, though meant to be torn apart by the energy, unexpectedly, Lin Feng emerged unscathed.
The Qiongqi was bewildered, stunned.
It turned out Lin Feng wore protective armor, crafted from a diving Dragon King’s scales, forming Dragon Scale Armor. The Dragon Scale Armor offered high defense, capable of generating a protective aura, shielding its wearer from harm.
A supreme Treasure Armor forged from diving dragon scales, over years under Lin Feng’s use, had been refined to the Divine Artifact’s quality. Wearing such Divine Armor, Lin Feng wasn’t intimidated by the Qiongqi beast’s Eight Spirit Knot level assault.
