Global Evolution: I Super Double Up on my evolution-Chapter 436 - 209: The Astonishing Information on the Pillar!_2
This made him see conspiracies and schemes in everything.
After composing himself slightly, Su Yan returned the wooden box to Ji Yue and released strands of Yang Energy from his body, sending them toward her. As he released the energy, he said, "As long as you serve me faithfully and diligently, I won’t skimp on your rewards."
"Thank you, my lord! I am willing to climb mountains of blades and wade through seas of fire for you!"
After expressing her loyalty at breakneck speed, Ji Yue immediately began to greedily devour the Yang Energy emanating from Su Yan’s body. As a Yin entity, she naturally had a great need for the Yang Energy of living beings. Not only could it enhance her strength, but if she devoured enough, there was even the possibility of a Yin-Yang transformation, allowing her to become a flesh-and-blood creature of the living world.
Of course, this was just a legend. To date, no Yin entity had succeeded in this. Whether any Yin entities had managed it without revealing it to the world was unknown.
After feeding Ji Yue for a short while, Su Yan said to her, "I originally planned to patrol the Rivers tonight to see if I could reap some Yin entities. But now, I’ve changed my mind. You just mentioned an ancient structure at the bottom of the river. Take me there now."
Ji Yue cautioned, "But my lord, the ancient structure is in a cave at the bottom of the river. It’s very, very deep—bottomless. As a member of the human race, staying down too long might pose a risk of suffocation for you."
In a cave? Very deep, bottomless? Hearing this, Su Yan’s interest was piqued even further. Ever since his transmigration, he had often seen the words "Ancient Times" in the System’s item information prompts and had grown profoundly curious about it. Now that he had learned of an ancient structure beneath the riverbed, located within a bottomless cave, it was honestly easy to connect this ancient structure with the words "Ancient Times."
Perhaps... tonight I might uncover a piece of this mystery and glimpse the secrets buried in the historical depths of this Evolution World.
With this thought, Su Yan said to Ji Yue, "I’m aware of that. You just need to lead the way. Don’t worry about anything else."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Ji Yue didn’t try to persuade him further. Instead, she turned and waded into the river. Slightly arching her body, she looked back at Su Yan and said, "Please be seated, my lord. Consider me your personal navigator, Ji Yue at your service."
Oh? He hadn’t expected this Female Water Ghost to not only be so cooperative but also quite humorous.
Thinking this, Su Yan walked up behind Ji Yue and skillfully mounted her. He settled onto her back, which appeared soft and delicate but was actually filled with power.
Once Su Yan was securely seated, Ji Yue said humbly, "Please hold on tight, my lord. I am going to dive to the riverbed."
"Dive on," Su Yan said evenly.
At his word, Ji Yue stopped talking and began to descend slowly into the river’s depths, giving Su Yan on her back time to adjust.
Three seconds.
Six seconds.
Nine seconds.
Ji Yue descended very slowly. Almost ten seconds had passed, yet Su Yan’s head remained above the surface, untouched by a single drop of water.
The descent was too slow for Su Yan, who preferred to get things done quickly. He urged her, "I can breathe underwater, so please speed it up, or it’ll be daylight soon!"
What? Did I hear that right? He can breathe underwater? Ji Yue was momentarily surprised but then obeyed his command and accelerated her descent.
Soon, with a SPLASH, Su Yan was completely submerged in the river, but he felt no discomfort at all.
Suffocation? That was out of the question.
Having devoured so many Soul Beads from Water Ghosts, his Swimming Ability had long since reached an incredibly formidable level. To say he could breathe underwater was an understatement; he could move with even greater freedom than Water Ghosts themselves, swimming faster than they could. Being submerged in the river felt like coming home; it was incredibly comfortable and pleasant.
He really can breathe underwater... Seeing Su Yan sitting calmly on her back, showing no signs of suffocation, Ji Yue, who was diligently diving beneath him, couldn’t help but feel bewildered. In her understanding, only Mythical creatures could survive in any environment. And Su Yan clearly hadn’t evolved to the Mythical Level Category. That was very strange. Could his ability to breathe underwater be the effect of a Creature Skill? Ji Yue pondered this. Apart from that, she couldn’t think of any other explanation.
"Too slow. Go faster."
Seeing that Ji Yue had been descending for quite some time without reaching the riverbed, Su Yan urged her again to pick up the pace.
Hearing Su Yan’s urging, Ji Yue no longer held back, going full throttle and diving rapidly toward the riverbed. She had been worried that diving too quickly might make Su Yan uncomfortable. But it now seemed he was even more adept in the water than she was, and her concern had been unnecessary.
What a strange member of the human race.
...
About half a minute later, the pair finally reached the riverbed, hovering slightly above the wet, heavy silt. Su Yan, his eyes—now with fully functional waterproofing—curiously surveyed the riverbed dozens of meters below, observing his surroundings. There were aquatic plants and small fish and shrimp. But mostly, there were rocks of various shapes. It was a very ordinary riverbed.
