Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 242: Chapter 235 Return Fully Loaded 1

Qin Niu managed to stabilize himself and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In this duel of wits, though the Green Demon was cunning, it might not be a match for this youth.

When Qin Niu had just split the water of the Blood Pool, he saw very clearly that there was no passage at the bottom of the pool. Instead, there were some symbols carved on the stone slab at the bottom.

He was certain that the Blood Pool had likely been constructed by the Green Demon even before any trouble occurred.

As for whether this space had always existed or had been created by the Green Demon, only the Green Demon knew for sure.

There was no way it would tell Qin Niu.

Since there was no passage beneath the Blood Pool, it meant that the second passage the Green Demon had mentioned was entirely a trap.

It was meant to lure Qin Niu down there.

“No worries, that was just the first chop. I’ve prepared even more substantial dishes for you, old man. I’m just afraid you might gorge yourself.”

The successful strike of Qin Niu’s blade had wounded the Green Demon, meaning if the Green Demon dared to show itself, it could be severely injured or even killed on the spot.

The power of the chop just now was immense, but the Green Demon was still not dead, proving to be much more troublesome than those clones.

With one chop, Qin Niu could annihilate three of the Green Demon’s clones.

“Come again!”

Drawing on his previous failure, he started to move again, leaping and then chopping vigorously.

This time, he successfully split open a crack in the whirlpool.

A large amount of cold water poured down.

The water, emitting a chill, instantly turned to ice upon entering this space.

It was very likely the prowess of the Ice Lotus.

Qin Niu coveted that Ice Lotus. Such a powerful herb, if he could dig it up and take it back, together with his Everlasting Spring Technique, he wouldn’t worry about not being able to grow it.

He dare not even think of the wonders within.

This time, as he fell toward the Blood Pool, the Green Demon showed no signs of action.

Perhaps it had been scared by Qin Niu’s killing intent.

“Coward Turtle, I’ll take you out. This time, you’re in charge of parting the oncoming water.”

Qin Niu grabbed the Diamond Ink Turtle with his left hand and held the Ink Blade in his right, growing more valiant as the battle raged on.

That’s how people are, with a first attempt, their courage grows bigger and bigger.

And they become more confident.

Plus, by constantly summing up their experiences, there’s a chance for success.

Gathering his strength, he ran again, leaping high with the momentum and striving with all his might to slash at the whirlpool above.

The whirlpools were actually caused by the high-speed rotation of the cold water.

They were in a strange semi-frozen state.

As soon as they left the whirlpool, they would immediately freeze into chunks of ice.

Whoosh!

An even wider fissure was torn open.

The effect of Qin Niu’s Slash Martial Skill seemed to have made a significant breakthrough, reaching an effect that a regular Critical Chop could not achieve.

It had not only the Critical Chop effect but also a terrifying Rupture effect.

It was as if heaven or earth could be split open with one slash.

The Diamond Ink Turtle knew its master was fighting with all his might to escape and exerted its water control skills to the fullest. The pouring water parted to both sides.

Qin Niu, with the Diamond Ink Turtle, managed to break into the cold water stream.

He was caught by the powerful force of the whirlpool and began to spin at high speed.

The Ice Lotus was right ahead.

From here, one could clearly see its roots.

It seemed as though its roots had formed a strong suction force, which was what created the strange whirlpool at the bottom of the pool.

“Break!”

Qin Niu made another vigorous chop, forcefully stopping the whirlpool that had been forming for who knows how many years with sheer human strength. The effect of tearing everything apart appeared again.

The whirlpool, like a machine running at high speed, suddenly had a screw tossed into its gears.

It hesitated for a moment.

Qin Niu knew he couldn’t miss this opportunity.

He fiercely pushed off the water with both feet, then rushed toward the Ice Lotus.

“Timid turtle, perch on my shoulder, and make sure not to fall off again.”

The Diamond Ink Turtle was placed on his shoulder, while his left hand reached for the root of the Ice Lotus.

Upon touching the Ice Lotus, the cold was bone-chilling, as if to freeze him to death.

Strangely enough, the power of the Everlasting Spring Technique offered no resistance against this extreme cold. However, the Medicine King Sutra’s power, despite being much weaker than the Everlasting Spring Technique, was able to protect Qin Niu well, guarding against the bizarre cold energy emanating from the root of the Ice Lotus.

Each cultivation technique has its own use.

The Medicine King Sutra was likely created by pharmacists or elixir masters for the purpose of concocting elixirs.

It naturally counters some of the extraordinary powers of medicinal herbs.

For example, it now successfully resisted the strange cold from the Ice Lotus.

Otherwise, Qin Niu’s entire left hand would have instantly turned into an ice pop.

With the Ice Lotus in hand, his legs kicked frantically, and he swiftly floated towards the surface of the cold pool.

The Diamond Ink Turtle helped its master rise by controlling the water.

Right at the moment the Ice Lotus was plucked, the whirlpool at the bottom of the pool seemed to suddenly cease.

Then, a vast amount of pool water gushed into the mysterious space below.

Qin Niu felt a powerful current pulling him downward, and he knew that if he were dragged into it, the consequences would be unpredictable.

At this life-or-death moment, he naturally exerted all his strength to swim upward.

Fortunately, with the Diamond Ink Turtle’s assistance, he expended considerable effort and slowly escaped the deep waters at the bottom of the pool.

The higher he floated, the weaker the sucking force became.

The strongest pulling force was at the bottom of the pool.

He could feel that a whirlpool was forming in the center of the cold pool.

It was like an undersea tornado.

If he were sucked into it, it would be very difficult to break free.

At least with his current strength, he was not yet able to contend with such a force of nature.

After barely surfacing with all his might, he didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately kicked off the water surface, shooting upward into the sky.

The newly learned Misty Rain Elusive Step truly proved its worth today.

Even though he had reached the Innate Realm before, he had never been able to walk on waves like this.

Now, having successfully leapt out of the cold pool and landed on the bank, he finally felt a bit relieved.

Fearing that other disasters might occur after the pool water poured into that space, Qin Niu dared not linger.

Dressed only in underwear, he quickly grabbed his clothes and basket, fleeing the area.

Just as he had not gone far, a rumbling vibration came from the ground behind him.

Then, large swathes of the ground began to collapse.

If he had stayed by the poolside, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Even now, he didn’t feel safe.

Hurriedly, he put on his clothes and King Pig Leather Armor, then, with the basket on his back and the Ice Lotus in one hand, he fled frantically.

The rumbling from the bottom of the cliff continued unabated, and the earth trembled.

Qin Niu sped along the same path he had come by.

While it took him over half an hour to get there, the escape took much less time.

Mainly because he was unfamiliar with the route and the terrain on the way there, so he had to proceed with extreme caution.

Now, as he ran for his life, his mindset was completely different.

Just as he managed to climb the cliff, a wild bee spotted him.

As soon as it came within ten meters of Qin Niu, it was subdued by the termites.

Now, dealing with these wild bees, Qin Niu was well-versed.

The old strategy worked just fine.

Having the subdued bee mark him,

makes it recognize him as one of its own.

With rocks constantly falling from above, he climbed up quickly and meticulously without daring to stop for a moment.

It wasn’t until he successfully reached the top of the cliff that he felt as if he had escaped to the heavens.

Still not daring to linger, as he saw the ground atop the cliff forming giant fissures.

The entire mountain was likely going to collapse.
