194: Underwater Treasure

The Disciples felt somewhat ashamed.

Because of the earlier commotion between Yue Lingxin and Yang Yi, they had experienced a Divided Soul.

If they had not experienced a Divided Soul, their attack speed and accuracy would not have been so poor.

Returning to the riverbank, Yang Yi deliberately wiped his forehead, which lacked any sweat, and sighed with lingering fear.

"There is indeed danger beneath the river."

"I do not think this water snake is the most dangerous."

"There may be even more ferocious Vicious Beasts."

"Furthermore, the moment the water snake emerged, I noticed several more on the surface. I suspect there are quite a few water snakes in this river."

"It will likely be difficult for us to cross."

At this moment, Yue Lingxin suddenly asked, "Isn't it said that where there is danger, there is a Treasure Trove?"

"Since there is so much danger in the river, does that not mean there is a Treasure Trove inside?"

Star Moon Elder nodded and said, "You are correct."

"There are indeed good things in the river, but ordinary people do not dive to the riverbed."

"Because the riverbed and the surface are two different worlds."

"We are not accustomed to fighting in the river unless you are proficient in water and have experience fighting underwater."

Yue Lingxin looked at Yang Yi and grinned.

"Yang Yi can do it."

Yang Yi rolled his eyes.

He wanted to kick her.

How could this girl think he could do anything?

He had already made it clear that he could not swim.

Asking him to go down was just asking for his death!

Star Moon Elder did not object but looked at Yang Yi with slight anticipation.

The others also looked at him with expectant eyes.

They had been in the Tian Yuan Secret Realm for quite some time, but had found nothing.

If they returned empty-handed, they would certainly be mocked, especially by the Disciples of the Three Old Ancestors.

Their lives were saved, but they had taken nothing.

Returning like that would be worse than dying here.

If they died here, the Sect could at least give them the title of hero.

If they returned with nothing, they would be labeled as cowards who feared death.

Even in death, everyone wanted to have some gains.

However, they also knew the river was extremely perilous.

They were not afraid of death, but they could not just throw their lives away.

They believed Yang Yi had the ability to go into the river to investigate and return alive.

As long as Yang Yi scouted the situation below, they would all go down together.

Seeing everyone looking at him with anticipation, Yang Yi sighed helplessly.

"Don't tell me you want me to go again?"

"I already said I cannot swim."

"You are forcing me onto a path to death."

Yang Yi's firm refusal made Star Moon Elder and the others feel embarrassed.

A Disciple said helplessly, "Since Yang Yi is unwilling, then forget it."

The others also nodded.

If Yang Yi was unwilling, what else could be said?

They could not force him to go down.

Yue Lingxin pouted, glared fiercely at Yang Yi, and muttered something, though it was unclear what she was saying.

Although they did not have to go into the river, they still faced the previous problem: how to pass through here.

Everyone looked at Yang Yi again.

Yang Yi helplessly closed his eyes.

"I am not looking at you. You can look at me however you want, but why must you look to me for everything?"

"I am not omnipotent. I do not know what to do either."

The group discussed how to pass, talking over one another.

Some said to go into the jungle to cut down some trees and make a few rafts.

Others said to simply fly over.

They had just seen that the water snakes' attack power did not seem very strong.

As long as they were careful, there should be no problem.

Some chose to take a detour because this place was simply too dangerous.

Everyone had their own ideas, and no one could convince the others.

Star Moon Elder did not express an opinion because it felt these methods were not very good.

It still hoped that Yang Yi would say a few words.

Everyone would agree with the opinions Yang Yi put forward.

Even if the opinion he proposed was more dangerous, it believed everyone would dare to try.

After arguing for a long while, they still had not reached a conclusion.

Yue Lingxin nudged Yang Yi with her body and asked directly, "What do you think?"

"We have all expressed our opinions. Why do you not speak?"

"Do you have no opinion?"

"If you have no opinion, then listen to our arrangements."

"If we make arrangements for you, we will definitely make you go into the water to investigate."

Yang Yi flicked Yue Lingxin's forehead and said with a smile, "I think we should go under the water and take a look."

Hearing Yang Yi say this, everyone revealed looks of curiosity.

Just a moment ago, Yang Yi had not agreed; why did he suddenly agree now?

Yang Yi was also helpless.

Because he had suddenly realized a problem: if they did not solve the things in the water, they would not be able to pass at all.

Since that was the case, they might as well go into the river to investigate.

The simplest and most direct method was to eliminate the danger.

How to solve the danger? That was to wipe out all the threats in the river.

Yang Yi was confident he had this ability.

"I cannot go down alone. Who is willing to go down with me?"

Yang Yi was not prepared to act alone and asked directly who was willing to go down with him.

When he asked this, everyone was willing to follow him.

This made Yang Yi very gratified.

He would take the lead, and this group was not afraid.

At least his adventure had not been in vain.

In the end, Yang Yi let Yue Lingxin follow him, while the others remained above to support him.

Yue Lingxin could not swim either, but just as he had thought, they could place a defensive shield on themselves and then dive to the riverbed.

However, the deeper they went, the greater the pressure, and thus the more energy was consumed.

The two of them placed defensive shields on themselves and then dived underwater.

Underwater, they adapted for a while before they could walk as if they were on land.

However, their walking was still stumbling, and sometimes they would trip.

The two could still speak within the defensive shields and could hear what the other was saying.

This was a very strange phenomenon, and neither Yue Lingxin nor Yang Yi could give an explanation.

The moment the two dived underwater, they saw many piranhas.

The piranhas were of various sizes; the large ones were as big as a person, the small ones as small as an arm, and the medium ones as big as a thigh.

Most of the piranhas were as big as a thigh, which was what Yang Yi and the others had seen earlier.

They did not see the small piranhas, nor did they see the larger ones.

When they dived two or three meters underwater, the large piranhas had already discovered them and launched a fierce attack.

Yue Lingxin and Yang Yi did not fight back; these attacks had little effect on them.
