Lin Chun lay on the side, an ineffable pleasure on his face. Soaking in this place, his entire body felt as if it were receiving a massage, yet the sensation was somewhat different.
Because we had undergone cultivation, this Shepherd God Power could slowly seep into our bodies. As these powers entered, they brought with them an indescribable feeling, one that made one feel incredibly relaxed.
"Brother Lu, this feels so good..." Lin Chun said with a smile, "It would be wonderful if we could settle down in a place like this..."
I smiled. While this place was indeed excellent, it was too far from our city. Most importantly, this place seemed to hide many secrets.
Until I fully understood it, I was unwilling to believe that this place was safe.
We both soaked in the hot spring for a long time, yet the doubts in my heart did not diminish in the slightest.
"Logically speaking, this pool contains Shepherd God Power, which means the source of the Shepherd God Power must be related to this pool..." I furrowed my brows, glancing at the hot spring.
"Brother Lu, have you found anything?" Lin Chun asked.
"You go up and get something to eat and wait for me. I'll go down and take a look!" I gestured towards the hot spring.
"Is there something down there?" Lin Chun seemed confused.
"I can't say for sure right now..." I smiled helplessly, "I can only go down and see what's happening..."
"Why don't I go down with you..." Lin Chun offered, "If it's safe down there, we'll both be safe. If there's danger..."
"If there's danger down there, you wouldn't be able to help me deal with it either," I said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Chun gave an awkward laugh. His own strength had indeed improved astonishingly after cultivation, but compared to my strength, he was still far, far behind.
"Alright then, I'll wait here," Lin Chun said with a smile.
I nodded, then took a deep breath and plunged directly into the hot spring.
Currently, my strength was much greater than before. Under these circumstances, the time I could stay underwater had greatly increased.
As it stood, if I were to simply hold my breath underwater normally, I could last for nearly two hours.
If I needed to move around, the time would be significantly reduced.
Furthermore, in this hot spring, the water was hot, which would consume more of my energy.
So, under normal circumstances, staying underwater for half an hour should be fine.
With this thought, I began to sink downwards.
I had initially expected that even if this hot spring was deep, it wouldn't be exceptionally deep. However, as I descended, I realized that its depth far exceeded my expectations.
I had descended for more than ten meters when I could no longer see my surroundings clearly.
But I could distinctly feel that the temperature of the water around me had significantly increased.
If the water outside felt comfortable, the water here felt scorching.
I covered my eyes with Shepherd God Power to observe my surroundings.
What I saw then made me freeze.
My eyes could clearly see the Shepherd God Power floating within. The sheer quantity of this Shepherd God Power was terrifying.
Moreover, it was interfering with my vision.
Without a word, I withdrew the Shepherd God Power and relied solely on my sight to search my surroundings.
After descending another five meters or so, I realized I had reached the bottom.
The space at the bottom was much larger than I had initially anticipated.
It was actually larger than the area above.
"Interesting..." I mused, and then began a thorough search of the bottom.
However, after searching for a long time, I found nothing.
Just as I was beginning to think there was nothing at the bottom, I suddenly sensed a faint power.
I immediately understood that the water in this pool was not stagnant, but flowing!
In other words, the water here was in motion.
If that were the case, as long as I could find the direction of the current and swim against it, wouldn't I be able to find the source?
I immediately sensed this subtle fluctuation and slowly swam towards it.
It wasn't until I reached a corner of the pool that I discovered that the water was actually emerging from this spot.
And this place was extremely concealed. If I hadn't sensed that faint fluctuation, I would never have been able to detect the source of the water!
I reached out towards the corner, but the moment my hand got close, I froze!
My hand seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't reach that innermost corner with my hand!
How was this possible?!
