The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 707 - 704: Floating Corpse

"Don’t rush yet, these footsteps only go in but not out, and after entering the water, they never came ashore again."

Xin Lin glanced around a few times.

After learning the Collection Skill, her power of observation was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan were somewhat surprised, giving Xin Lin a few more looks, not expecting that Xin Lin would also have the skill of tracking.

"Those damn turtles must have also gone in without return."

Wu Yuan said gleefully.

Their last time, had their luck not been good, 80 to 90 percent would have also been lost down there.

"Let’s go down and check."

Wu Xuan looked at Xin Lin, and seeing that she had no objections, he walked forward along the waterway.

It was only then that Xin Lin realized, the place Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan wanted to go was in Black Water Creek.

Who would have thought, there’s more to Black Water Creek than meets the eye?

Even the oldest hunter in Purple Cloud City, might not know of this water path.

Xin Lin thought to herself in surprise.

The water channel was in the stream, the water in Black Water Creek flowed rapidly, with Wu Xuan leading, Wu Yuan at the rear, and Xin Lin in the middle.

After walking half a mile, Xin Lin felt a sudden soreness in her legs and had difficulty lifting them.

This surprised Xin Lin quite a bit.

After all, she was now a Xuanwu Fifth Realm practitioner, and clearly, something was wrong with her leg strength.

Especially since Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan, as well as the Overlord Egg, all walked effortlessly.

Noticing that Xin Lin had slowed down.

"Look ahead, quick!"

It was at this moment that Wu Yuan pointed to the front.

A drowned body floated over.

Wu Yuan dived into the water and swam over.

"He’s been dead for at least a few days. Looks like he drowned."

Wu Yuan turned the corpse over and shook his head.

He then searched and found a token from the body; Xin Lin did not recognize the characters on the token, but Wu Xuan understood at a glance.

"I almost forgot, this stream is quite special, containing a rich presence of Water Spirits. We are currently swimming upstream, which consumes many times more physical strength than normal."

Only after seeing the body did Wu Xuan remember something and offered an apologetic explanation to Xin Lin.

As Xin Lin was a delicate young lady and a Spirit Master, she naturally had less physical strength than the average man.

This drowned body was that of a Martial Artist of the Eighth and Ninth Layer, likely a guard from some power.

He probably exhausted all his strength on the way and accidentally drowned.

"Heh heh, if you don’t mind, I could carry you."

Wu Yuan said with a grin, stroking his chin.

Thanks to the Spiritual Delicacy Buns and strange-taste snake, Wu Yuan’s impression of Xin Lin had improved a lot.

Before this, he had merely regarded Xin Lin as a pretty, but useless, vase.

Before Xin Lin could answer, she heard an all-too-familiar cold snort from Sealing Spirit Talisman No.1.

Without guessing, she knew it was Gui Hu.

Xin Lin shook her head without hesitation.

"I can walk by myself."

Seeing Xin Lin insisted, Wu Yuan did not say more, shrugged his shoulders, and continued onwards.

She noticed the surroundings, just as Wu Xuan had said, the deeper they went into Black Water Creek, the richer the Water Spirits became.

Moreover, these were Single Water Spirits, much richer than those in Qingtian Academy.

These Water Spirits, seem to have sensed the presence of outsiders, causing mischief in the water, making the flow go against them, imperceptibly exhausting people’s physical strength.

When they first entered the creek, the water was only ankle-deep, but after walking for half an hour, the depth reached the knees.

A few more steps and the water was to the waist, Xin Lin looked ahead at the endless water path, and understood.

If one’s physical strength was exhausted and they were careless, they could potentially drown.

"Water Spirits, huh?"

Xin Lin focused and looked at the water reaching her waist.

She remembered that when Gathering Spirit, she was best at condensing Fire Spirits; she wondered if she could condense Water Spirits.
