Chapter 3085 - 3060: Black Warrior

Chapter 3085: Chapter 3060: Black Warrior

Lin Bai stood amidst the toxic mist, testing the area a few times before muttering to himself, "Luckily, although this place is highly toxic, with my current cultivation at the First Level of the Wending Realm, I can barely resist this poison for a short time. But I must return quickly, otherwise, after spending too long here, even if I had the physique of iron and brass, this poison might still erode me."

After making some preparations, Lin Bai’s foot landed on the surface of the Corpse Burying River, and with the next step, he plunged into the water, swiftly heading downward.

When Lin Bai entered the Corpse Burying River.

Numerous shadows of people swiftly appeared within the toxic mist, surrounding the place where Lin Bai entered the water!

"Did you see clearly? He really went in?"

"Yes, a warrior of the First Level of the Wending Realm."

"A Wending Realm warrior entered the water to hunt for treasures. Could there be treasures here?"

"He came quite suspiciously, and after arriving at the Corpse Burying River, he headed straight here, so there must be treasures, right?"

"Let’s wait and see if he can bring out any treasures!"

"Exactly, warriors at the Wending Realm can only stay inside the Corpse Burying River for at most a quarter of an hour. After that, he must surface."

"Furthermore, there’s no way he could find the treasure location so quickly in one attempt. He will surely need to probe multiple times!"

"Hopefully, he’s lucky and doesn’t encounter a Black Warrior..."

"..."

Hundreds of warriors had gathered at this spot; all of them were treasure hunters on the Corpse Burying River.

Their cultivation was not low, and some reached the Great Perfection of the Death Reversal Realm, with a few about to step into the Wending Realm.

As Lin Bai and others entered the area of the Corpse Burying River, these warriors were already keeping a close eye on him.

Seeing Lin Bai head directly here, they knew he was searching for treasures.

Lin Bai entered the Corpse Burying River’s depths, his spiritual power forming a protective shield around him, keeping his body from touching the river water.

But from the defensive shield, there was a "hissing" sound.

Lin Bai coldly remarked, "This river water is also toxic! For other ordinary warriors at the Wending Realm, maintaining this spiritual power shield would consume a large amount of energy. They could stay underwater at most for a quarter of an hour, but my spiritual power is far superior to my peers’, so perhaps I can stay for about half an hour!"

"Then let’s see if I can find the treasure within half an hour."

The river water was murky, with extremely low visibility.

Lin Bai decided to sense and perceive the objects around him.

As Lin Bai kept diving towards the bottom of the Corpse Burying River, he occasionally saw many white bones drifting along the current, colliding with his spiritual power shield.

But Lin Bai couldn’t distinguish whether these white bones belonged to treasure seekers or were originally from the Corpse Burying River.

Ye Suxin had mentioned earlier that the Corpse Burying River was said to have fallen from beyond the heavens, containing many skeletons when it did.

Lin Bai kept sinking, spending a quarter of an hour to reach the riverbed.

"What’s underneath here is..."

Lin Bai felt he was getting closer to the bottom.

At this moment, Lin Bai looked down at his feet and discovered that the riverbed was a path made entirely of white bones!

The bottom of the Corpse Burying River was filled with countless skeletal remains.

"Trying to dig up a treasure from these bones seems quite difficult." Lin Bai used his spiritual power to roll the bones, swirling them in the river water. Simultaneously, Lin Bai’s sharp eyes spotted something amidst the bones.

A rusty, about to break longsword appeared before Lin Bai.

After glancing at it, Lin Bai shook his head—it was just an ordinary Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, likely left by treasure hunters who died in the Corpse Burying River.

As Lin Bai continued to roll up the riverbed bones, more spiritual tools appeared.

For instance, swords, knives, spears, and so on, in numbers beyond counting.

Most were useless, either drained of all spiritual power by the Corpse Burying River and turned into waste or broken beyond repair.

After searching for a while, Lin Bai frowned and said, "How thick are the bones on this riverbed?"

"If the bones are numerous enough, it would mean that beneath them is a vast space!"

With this thought, Lin Bai wasted no time, unleashing the full force of his spiritual power and cultivation, directly cleaving through the bones ahead, rushing towards the river bottom.

As Lin Bai continued forward, the swirling bones had submerged him beneath the riverbed.

Heading straight in, Lin Bai didn’t hesitate, charging beneath the bones.

"I want to see just how thick these bones truly are!"

"How many people are actually buried here!"

"I must reach the bottom!"

Lin Bai relentlessly rolled up the bones, pushing forward.

A quarter of an hour.

Half an hour.

Time passed rapidly.

Lin Bai had rolled up many bones, but even now, he hadn’t truly reached the river bottom.

"Could the riverbed bones be even thicker than the river water itself?" Lin Bai said, looking somewhat shocked, "How many people are buried here!"

"Keep going!"

With a resolute expression, Lin Bai continued digging forward.

Among the bones mixed with Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifacts, Lin Bai didn’t bother to glance at them, heading straight down.

Time passed for what felt like ages, and Lin Bai couldn’t tell how many bones he had dug through.

Nor did he know how many bones remained below.

But suddenly, while his spiritual power was stirring the bones, Lin Bai’s senses touched a hard object.

"Reached the bottom?" Lin Bai cautiously proceeded.

Pushing aside the bones ahead, Lin Bai focused his gaze, seeing a barrier emitting blue light.

"A spiritual power barrier, how could this be...? The toxins within the Corpse Burying River are so domineering, with corrosive effects on spiritual power. How could a spiritual power barrier possibly exist beneath the river?" Lin Bai stared at the blue light barrier, shocked.

And just then, while Lin Bai focused intently on the blue light barrier below.

Suddenly, amidst the countless bones behind Lin Bai, a black skeletal hand reached for his back.

In that instant, Lin Bai’s Body-Protecting Divine Lightning was triggered instinctively.

"Divine Lightning!" Lin Bai froze, feeling the Three-Colored Divine Thunder erupt from his body protection, immediately sensing imminent danger.

Lin Bai immediately turned back, catching sight of the black hand reaching from the pile of bones.

A black hand amidst a sea of white bones catches one’s attention indeed.

"What is this!" Lin Bai exclaimed, quickly retrieving a wooden sword from his storage bag, and slashing forward.

With a thunderous explosion, the bones ahead were torn apart by Lin Bai, revealing the black hand’s main body.

This was a warrior, shriveled like a dry corpse, yet entirely pitch black, as if steeped in poison.

Its form was hunched, lacking any sign of life.

This warrior had died years ago.

"Dead?" Lin Bai was momentarily taken aback.

But just then, the Black Warrior suddenly charged towards Lin Bai, raising its head, showing blood-red eyes, and its glossy black hand viciously clawing at Lin Bai.

With a bang.

Lin Bai was instantly struck back by the power of the Black Warrior’s claw, knocked back a hundred meters, spitting blood, his complexion immediately turning pale: "Such strong power!"
