Chapter 270: A Saint Item! A Huge Secret!
Looking at Duren Burg and Cech Flet, Qian Jin secretly wondered if the water only worked on warriors who had only gone through the first awakening. But if it meant nothing to warriors who achieved second bloodline awakening, why did Lucifer Lucy risk her life to come here?
Every bloodline warrior would try all the means to wake up his or her sleeping power! Every awakening was accompanied with benefits that ordinary warriors could not imagine!
"Wasn’t that woman here for the water?" Qian Jin fetched the map out from his Warrior Dimension and focused on the pool which he hadn’t carefully examined.
"Is this..."
By the firelight, Qian Jin saw a section he had neglected. Down the pool, there was a squared entrance on the left side. In accordance with the plotting scale, it was exactly two meters high and two meters wide!
There was a mark next to the entrance. But it was not a DANGER or a Demon Beast symbol; it was a treasure chest!
Anyone who had never seen a treasure map before would know what the sign represented.
Was there really some treasures down the pool? Qian Jin looked around and said, "You guys stay here! I’ll go and check for us!"
Duren Burg nodded his head! He had some more water just now and nothing happened. But he dared not go down into the pool! Who would know if his Bloodline Power would awaken once he was soaked in the water?
He had spat the liquid out in time! But swimming in it? He couldn’t dry himself even if he was spinning like a laundry machine.
Cech Flet was injured and not suitable for the cold and wet water. Fanta Kunge was relatively inferior in strength, so he chose to wait on the shore.
Qian Jin dived into the pool, hoping to solve the riddles by himself. Why would there be some treasure and a tunnel underwater? Where did Lucifer Lucy get the map? Who had been to the bottom of the pool?
Warrior Heart Awareness was triggered automatically the second Qian Jin ducked into the pool. He controlled the current around; without swimming, he was carried down quickly by their forces. In addition, a small amount of oxygen in the water was also passed through his pores to make him comfortable.
Qian Jin was once again astonished by the Warrior Heart Awareness! With it, one could still breathe as he did it on land even buried in sand or water! If he arrived at the Human-Demon Battlefront in the future, he could exploit it by camouflaging himself in the sand and initiating a sneak attack against the Demons’ commanders!
In a blink of an eye, Qian Jin had explored two hundred meter depth and finally saw the entrance!
As Qian Jin approached the entrance, he felt that the Ancient Desert Sea was indeed a strange place as labeled. He had been here not too long but had been surprised a few times! No wonder people associated it with death as well as luck.
Lucky dogs who had been out here became either rich or strong. It was said that Zene Skylar had once come here too. After a four-day adventure, he became who he was now!
The squared entrance stood quietly in front of Qian Jin. He slowly reached out, and out of his expectation, he didn’t feel any aquatic substance at the other side!
It was a dry space where people were free to walk!
Stepping through the entrance, Qian Jin took a deep breath of the fresh air. He was amazed by the mystic place! Water was blocked out of here! How unbelievable! He was the luckiest man in the world to get this map!
"Lucky? You said I’m lucky because I wasn’t killed by that ordinary warrior?" Sitting on the ground, Lucifer Lucy looked over to the distance where Qian Jin was. "The legacy of my ancestor Lucifer Nihan! The final message brought by his Water Eagle had shown it was there, under that mountain! I was this close to getting it! That asshole! My eye! I must kill him! I must kill him! "
The Blood Bat Bloodline Warrior knelt on one of his knees while fishing out another scroll. "Don’t worry, your Highness! They can only find the non-important items with your scroll! They cannot get the real treasure Dark Demon Armor without this map."
Dark Demon Armor? What was that?
Hearing what the Blood Bat had said, Lucifer Lucy raised her hand to cover the injuries of her missing right eye that had already stopped bleeding! The remaining left eye showed a look of disdain. Dark Demon Armor was indeed an invaluable item in the invaluable Warrior Set, but it was not all!
The Lucifer Royal Family had always focused on bloodline power awakening and paid little attention to other affairs.
Except Lucifer Nihan who was a maverick! In spite of being a Fallen Angel Bloodline Warrior, he was also a rare Mystic Pharmacist who specialized in mutated ingredients and herbs. In terms of planting only, he was at least a Level 5 Mystic Pharmacist in terms of planting.
Same as Pharmacists, Mystic Pharmacists had different branches and fields of study! Some of them studied the Demon Beasts, seeing if they could use the body parts. Some studied all kinds of mutated herbs, and some studied how to switch human bodies...
Lucifer Nihan had been the foremost guru of the Demons when it came to his field. Even the Mystic Pharmacists in Zence admired him!
"A thousand years ago, in the letter from Nihan that was brought back by the Water Eagle, he said that under the water in that cave, there was the stolen Dark Demon Armor and a variety of the latest mutated ingredients and herbs he cultivated. Those are the true treasure! Those silly warriors must’ve destroyed them!"
Thinking of Qian Jin, Lucifer Lucy felt the wound on her hurt even worse. Blue veins stood out on the white and slender fingers covering her missing right eye! Fierce hatred bloomed out from her left eye as she said: "I must kill him! My eye... That bumpkin! He probably pulled the herbs out because he thinks they were just some unworthy weeds!"
Quietly kneeling on the side, the Blood Bat Bloodline Warrior glanced at the woman! He silently sighed in his heart because it was highly possible that Qian Jin would do that. Warrior might know some common herbs, but they definitely knew nothing about Mystic Potions. They would destroy the strange herbs that could move as soon as they saw it!
"Eh..." Lucifer Lucy gritted her teeth and sighed. "Look at how he dressed! He must have been half-baked! He doesn’t look like he is from some big family. Perhaps he would consider the herbs some sorts of Demon Beasts and destroy them right away!"
While in the cave under the water, a green water in the pool was like a water curtain. There was no daylight, but the water curtain there illuminated the narrow underwater cave with a weak green brightness of its own.
How magical this place was! Ancient Desert Sea! The cave! The water curtain and... the mystic plants!
A faint of strange aroma floated in the narrow cave! Looking down at his feet, Qian Jin was shocked by the mutated plants and herbs!
What were mutated plants herbs exactly? They were some hybrid plants made of different plants cultivated by people and could be used as an ingredient for Mystic Potions.
Qian Jin slightly frowned! Someone had lived here! In the absence of sunlight, it was almost impossible for vegetation to survive, not to mention the breeding process. Only the mutated hybrid was capable of doing this.
Out of the blue, a yellow stinky flower of a Hobbit’s height voluntarily turned to Qian Jin. Its body looked as soft as jelly. On that face bigger than a human’s, there was a relatively small mouth.
"Nice try!"
Qian Jin quickly stepped forward and kicked it! The stinky thing groaned for a few seconds and then closed its mouth!
Qian Jin sighed in relief. He didn’t want his clothes or skin to be stained with its puff, otherwise, he would be stinky for at least three days even if he cleaned himself with a bucket of cleansing lotion!
Unwittingly, a vine coiled around his leg like a snake! In the twinkling of an eye, thorns sprang forth!
"Mandala Vine?" Qian Jin squatted and checked the flower. He remembered Eulalia had once mentioned that the cultivation of it was harder than climbing up to heaven because it relied on blood to grow. But there was not any living creature here. How did it...
Qian Jin turned around! It was because of the strange water! It must be so! What special element was in there? The property of this Mandala Vine didn’t change?
Qian Jin pulled a thorn from it, and all the others shrank back to the vine. The vine coiled on his legs quickly retracted to the tussock.
"A little bit sweet and spicy." Qian Jin bit the thorn with his teeth and spat it on the ground. "It is still the same, the medicinal effect."
Qian Jin cautiously moved forward as he observed his surroundings. He frowned at what he was seeing. Why were there only flowers? A small group of Metal-Eating Six-Star Worm would boost the Earthy Golden Flowers and make them have a stronger effect.
Moreover, if you put Five-Colored Earthworms and Moths here, Crystal Nepenthes were able to bloom petals of six colors instead of two as it was now, and it could have more medicinal effects!
