Chang Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity. He held a packet of powder in his hand. The powder glowed faintly under the weak light, as if it contained some unknown evil power. He swung it violently and sprinkled it on the people around him, with a sense of determination and coldness in his movements. In an instant, a strange fragrance spread out, like an invisible devil's claw, covering everyone.

"Chang Yong, what do you want to do?" Zhou Nan smelled the strange fragrance and felt a sharp pain in his throat, as if countless tiny flames were burning, and he was so thirsty that he felt like fire was coming out of his body. His voice was filled with fear and anger, but more of it was disbelief towards Chang Yong.

Chang Yong had a sinister look on his face, a fierce light in his eyes, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He said to Zhou Nan: "What are you doing? Zhou Nan, it was you who led me here, causing me to suffer heavy losses, and almost making the defensive treasure I bought at a high price ineffective. Of course you have to pay the price." His voice was low and threatening, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

As he spoke, Chang Yong's voice was filled with a hint of bewitchment. He pointed to a pond a thousand meters away and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this poison won't kill you. It will only make you thirsty and want to drink water. See it? There is a pond over there. Go drink some water and you will be thirsty." His smile was filled with pride and cunning. People who didn't know the truth would really think he was a kind-hearted person.

In fact, the powder in Chang Yong's hand was a "failed work" that he bought from a ragged middle-aged man on the road with a few gold coins. He just thought it was fun at the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy today. This powder was part of his plan to lure Zhou Nan and others to their death.

People who are poisoned by this drug will not feel burning with desire, but will only feel extremely thirsty. Drinking some water can detoxify them, so it is called a failure. However, in this desolate place, water is scarce, and the power of this drug powder is undoubtedly revealed.

But at this moment, this medicine powder can also work. A glimmer of calculation flashed in Chang Yong's eyes. If Zhou Nan and others went to the pond to drink water and attracted the attention of the snakes, he would have the opportunity to dig up the precious four-star elixir, and all his losses would not be a big deal.

"Chang Yong, you...will die a miserable death!" Zhou Nan covered his throat in agony, pointed at Chang Yong, his eyes full of hatred and despair. His voice was hoarse, but the hatred was burning like a raging fire.

The others also covered their throats. They had lost their water source in the previous chaos, and now their throats felt like they were on fire. They stared at the pool with wide eyes. The clear water seemed to be their only salvation. Even though the sound of the water was very faint, it was infinitely magnified in their ears, extremely tempting.

"Water! I want water!" Finally, one person couldn't help it, and he staggered towards the pond, his eyes flashing with desire for water. In his eyes, the pond was no longer a deadly source of danger, but like a naked peerless beauty, tempting him irresistibly.

As soon as this person moved, the will of the others collapsed instantly. They all stood up, covered their throats, and staggered towards the pool, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

Zhou Nan's will had been completely lost, but he still retained a trace of consciousness. He pointed at Chang Yong and said viciously: "Chang Yong, I, Zhou Nan...even if I turn into a ghost...I will not...let you go!" His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but the hatred lingered in Chang Yong's heart like a curse.

Chang Yong just sneered at him, and when he saw him stand up and walk towards the pond, he followed him slowly, and at the same time, he was fully alert, ready to activate the defensive treasure at any time. Compared with life, the defensive treasure is naturally nothing. He secretly calculated in his heart that as long as he could collect the four-star elixir, all the losses could be made up.

Although all of them were seriously injured, driven by their desire, they did not slow down. Two or three minutes later, some people approached the edge of the pool. However, before they jumped into the pool, countless water arrow snakes flew out and submerged them. Those snakes were like messengers of death, carrying cold venom, devouring fresh lives one by one.

"Damn it!" Chang Yong was horrified, not caring about the four-star elixir, and turned to run. He used his spiritual power to the extreme, and his legs ran as fast as if they were equipped with motors, and disappeared without a trace in a gust of wind. His heart was filled with fear and regret, but more of it was the desire to survive.

Half an hour later, everything returned to calm, and only the sound of the waterfall could be heard. Lu Xuanxin and his four companions came slowly. They were wearing tight robes and light cloud boots, and looked particularly capable. Looking at the mess around them, their faces were solemn and calm.

Lu Xuanxin and Tianying are no longer the same as they were when they first left Jingjiang. After going through the test of life and death, they are now able to face it all calmly. Their eyes reveal a kind of determination and calmness, as if no difficulties can stop them.

"Xuan Xin, is this medicine really effective?" Although she had experienced life and death, Tian Ying was still a little scared when she approached the pool again. She tightly grasped the hilt of the sword and looked around vigilantly, fearing that any danger would suddenly come.

"Don't worry! When have I ever lied to you?" Lu Xuanxin said with a smile. What she took was the magic pill hidden in the blood bracelet, which could isolate the perception of beasts and shield their six senses. This was a treasure she accidentally obtained during an adventure, and now it has become their life-saving straw.

Even if they got into the snake's den, the snakes would not be able to sense or see them, and they would live their lives as usual. Thinking of this, Lu Xuanxin couldn't help but feel confident and expectant. She believed that with the help of this magic pill, they would be able to explore this mysterious pool safely.

When Lu Xuanxin wanted to go into the water to investigate, she was strongly opposed by the other three. They knew the dangers in the pool and were unwilling to let Lu Xuanxin take risks. However, Lu Xuanxin insisted on her own opinion. She believed that only in this way could she find the precious four-star elixir.

"Xuanxin, you can't go alone! It's too dangerous!" One of them said anxiously. His eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Xuanxin's decision.

"I know it's dangerous, but we have to find the four-star elixir. Only in this way can we have enough strength to fight those enemies." Lu Xuanxin said firmly. Her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination and persistence.

"But..." The other person wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Xuanxin.

"Don't worry! I have the Water-Repellent Beads and the Breath-Invisibility Pill, nothing will happen." Lu Xuanxin said, taking out the two treasures. The Water-Repellent Beads emitted a faint light, as if containing a mysterious power; while the Breath-Invisibility Pill emitted a strange fragrance that made people feel peaceful when they smelled it.

Despite this, the three of them were still a little hesitant. They knew the dangers in the pool and were unwilling to let Lu Xuanxin take the risk alone. However, under Lu Xuanxin's insistence, they finally agreed to her decision.

The four of them stood by the pond. The pond was quiet and nothing had happened, as if nothing had happened before. Tianying's eyes swept over the rare cage grass, a strange plant growing by the pond, which was said to have magical medicinal effects. At this moment, it was growing there quietly, as if it was at peace with the world.

"I didn't expect that it would still grow here even though it killed so many people." Tian Ying said with emotion. Her eyes flashed with a complex emotion, awe for life and emotion for nature.

"Well! We'll take it away after we get out of the pond." Lu Xuanxin nodded. She knew how precious the rare cage grass was and didn't want it to stay here and suffer innocent sacrifices. At the same time, she also knew that if she dug the rare cage grass away at this moment, it would definitely anger the water arrow snake, which would be detrimental to her exploration of the underwater situation. Therefore, she decided to pick the rare cage grass after she had explored the underwater situation.

"Sister Shuang, are you waiting here?" Lu Xuanxin asked. She hoped that Sister Shuang could stay here and wait for them to come back, after all, she had more important tasks to complete.

"No!" The three of them objected firmly in unison. They knew the dangers in the pool and didn't want Lu Xuanxin to take the risk alone. Therefore, they decided to accompany Lu Xuanxin into the water to explore.

"Xuanxin, I can't just watch you take risks and do nothing. I must go with you." One of them said. There was a firm light in his eyes, and he was obviously ready to face the danger together with Lu Xuanxin.

"Xiao Xuanxin, if I really die here, I will die with no regrets if I can be your lover." Gui Jianchou looked at her affectionately and said. However, his feminine voice destroyed his affectionate image, making people want to laugh. Despite this, Lu Xuanxin still felt his spirit of risking his life to accompany her on an adventure, and a warm current surged in her heart.

"Go to hell! You're the one who's going to die here. I haven't lived long enough." Lu Xuanxin rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily. However, she was still moved by his spirit of risking his life to accompany her on the adventure. She knew that these companions all cared about her and supported her sincerely.

"Okay, in that case, let's go. With the Water-Repellent Beads, all problems are no longer problems." Lu Xuanxin said. She took a deep breath, and then jumped into the pool without hesitation. The Water-Repellent Beads and the Invisibility Pill were her two magic weapons for this trip. She believed that with their help, she would be able to safely explore this mysterious pool.

Tianying, Guijianchou and Shen Longyuan also jumped down one after another. They followed Lu Xuanxin's figure closely, their hearts filled with tension and expectation. They didn't know how deep the pool was. What was even more strange was that they didn't encounter any water arrow snakes along the way, and they didn't know where those things were hiding. They only saw countless unknown fish swimming around, as if they were isolated from the world.

However, the four of them also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. This showed that the pills they had taken earlier were very effective, successfully shielding their breath and six senses, making it impossible for the water arrow snakes to sense their presence. In this way, they could explore this mysterious pool with more confidence.

The four people walked quickly, and the water under their feet seemed to be more agile than on the shore, as if every inch of it contained rich spiritual power. The deeper they walked, the stronger this feeling became, as if their entire bodies were surrounded by this power, and every inch of their skin was greedily absorbing this rare nourishment.

"If we dive a few dozen feet deeper, the concentration of spiritual energy will be more than ten times higher than that on the shore." Tianying's face showed an unconcealable joy, and her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she had foreseen the huge harvest to come. She thought of the vines she had encountered in the mountains before, and accidentally tricked them into giving her 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones. She wondered how many surprises would be waiting for them at the bottom of the pool this time?

"Maybe there is a spiritual vein down there. The concentration of spiritual energy here is almost catching up with the hundred-year-old spiritual spring." Gui Jianchou nodded, with a barely perceptible excitement in his voice. He was secretly calculating in his heart that a spiritual vein, even if it was only one star, could be divided among four people, and each person could get tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. Tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones, this is a huge sum of money for anyone, even the young master of Medicine King Valley, it is rare to see, this is almost catching up with the annual income of the entire Medicine King Valley.

If a force wants to exist, resources are the key, and spiritual veins are not so easy to find. With many people, the expenses are high, and it is rare to have tens of thousands of spiritual stones left at the end of the year. Thinking of this, Gui Jianchou's eyes became more determined, and he quickened his pace, as if he couldn't wait to uncover the secrets at the bottom of the pool.

The four of them sped up, their figures shuttled quickly in the water, like four flexible fish, heading towards the unknown depths. Half a day had passed, and if it weren't for the protection of the water-repellent beads, they would not have been able to reach the bottom of the pool with their cultivation. The water-repellent beads were like an invisible shield, isolating the surrounding water pressure and coldness, allowing them to go deep into this mysterious water without hindrance.

The world at the bottom of the pool was completely different from what they had imagined. The green algae was fluffy, like a soft green carpet, and the corals were colorful and varied, like the most exquisite handicrafts of nature. The shellfish were strange and cute, and they were open or closed, as if showing their unique charm to the four uninvited guests. The fish were surrounding them, and the colorful fish scales were shining brightly in the water, as if welcoming the new guests, and occasionally touching their bodies, bringing a hint of coolness.
