Chapter 144: Revisiting the Star Pool
The sun is shining in the sky, the sky is clear and the breeze is blowing.
Ahead, there was a large peculiar red low plant, densely packed with intertwined branches and leaves, like rows of monsters pulling their arms. And behind these red "monsters" is the sacred place where they are stationed - a vast pool of stars.
The star pond is like amber, embedded in the ground surrounded by red plants.
"Well, nice view. ”
Ren Xiaoyao stood in the air, looked at the star pool in front of him comfortably, smiled and said lightly.
Behind him, there were two old men with straight faces, their faces pale.
These two old men are the elders of the Ao family, and they are specifically responsible for guarding and maintaining this star pool - yes, the star pool surrounded by red plants in front of them is the one exclusive to the Ao family. This star pool appeared thousands of years ago and has always been the exclusive property of the Ao family. And today, it was the first time that they had been forced to open the star pool to an outsider in desperation.
This outsider is the guy who just won Ao Shiwu in the gambling fight, let him go.
"Ren Xiaoyao, the three days that I said were good, don't waste time anymore. One of the black-bearded old men said angrily.
"Don't worry, with the energy concentration of your Proud Family's star pool, three days is more than enough, and you can't use it at all. Ren Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
"You ......"
Ren Xiaoyao's words undoubtedly poked at the other party's sore spot, and indeed the star pool in front of him, the energy was exhausted, and it didn't have much effect, especially for Ren Xiaoyao, who had already benefited from the Ye family's star pool, it should have been worthless.
But Ren Yao just took this as a condition and had to soak in the Ao family's exclusive star pool for three days. In the eyes of the Ao family, such conditions are more of an insult than the actual needs.
Seeing the two proud patriarchs with iron faces, Ren Xiaoyao no longer made fun of them. For the people of the proud family, especially the proud Shiwu, Ren Xiaoyao has no bad feelings - although their eyes have grown to the top of their heads, they are arrogant, but their hearts are not bad, and they can be regarded as trustworthy. Take the two old guys in front of them as an example, although their faces are not good-looking, they are still very trustworthy and took Ren Xiaoyao to the exclusive star pool of the Ao family.
Ren Xiaoyao also knew that the Ao family had specially deployed a large number of masters to defend and escort Ren Xiaoyao nearby, so as not to cause him any accidents. The reason why the Ao family did this was only for their own reputation to a certain extent, because once Ren Xiaoyao had an accident on their territory, he would definitely put his notoriety on the Ao family.
But Ren Xiaoyao is still grateful for this, and he has a good impression of the Ao family.
"Xingchi, I'm here!"
Ren Xiaoyao smirked and flew towards the star pool.
The two old men of the proud family did not follow, but stayed in the air to protect them. They kept an eye on Ren Yao's movements, lest he do anything out of the ordinary - this was just a situation, and in the eyes of their proud family, there was indeed nothing out of the ordinary in the star pool in front of them.
Coming to the sky above the star pool, Ren Xiaoyao did not immediately plunge into it, but flapped the wings of the star, hovered on the surface of the star pool, and felt the energy fluctuations in the star pool.
Compared to the star pool near the Dongfang family, the energy fluctuations here are not at all the same, just like the energy contained in an ant compared to that of an elephant.
In this regard, Ren Xiaoyao was not disappointed.
He didn't come here for the superficial energy, but to find the "Light of the Essence of the Stars".
Last time, he relied on his feelings to find the light of the Star Essence at the bottom of the star pool, so this time he repeated his old trick and wanted to sense it first.
Above the star pool, there is a lot of energy.
Ren Xiaoyao flew in a north-south direction, releasing his soul power into the star pool below, and he thought that he had everything below in his mind. After a survey, he moved 20 meters sideways from east to west and continued to explore from north to south. With such a meticulous search, it is almost certain that nothing will be missed.
This exclusive star pool of the Ao family has a radius of about fifty miles, which is more than half smaller than the star pool that Ren Xiaoyao saw before. However, because the energy of the star pool below is relatively thin, it is also very laborious to sense.
Even if it is attached to the surface of the star pool, you can't feel the difference in the intensity of the energy below.
In this way, Ren Xiaoyao investigated for a whole day, but he didn't gain anything at all.
In the distance, in the air, the two proud family elders who were in charge of monitoring Ren Xiaoyao frowned.
"This guy, why has he been wandering back and forth over the star pool, but he doesn't go in to soak?"
"Who knows what he thinks, probably his brain is in water. ”
Both of them shook their heads, and simply took turns to cultivate, with only one person monitoring Ren Yao.
It took a whole day to gain nothing, and although Ren Xiaoyao was not depressed, he was a little confused and anxious. He only had three days in total, and if he didn't find anything in three days, then the previous gamble would be in vain.
Could it be that he was wrong, and that the previous "Star Essence Light" appeared at the bottom of the Star Pool, just a coincidence?
Ren Xiaoyao shook his head. He instinctively felt that there must be a connection between the light of the star essence and the star pool, and he also believed his inference: under this star pool, there should also be the light of the star essence.
"I've been searching for a day, and it seems that I'm only looking above the star pool, and there's no chance of finding it. For today's plan, I can only go down to the bottom of the pool to find it. ”
Ren Xiaoyao made up his mind in his heart, so he flew into the star pool without hesitation.
With a plop, Ren Xiaoyao's figure disappeared into the star pool, rippling with a little bit. In this regard, the two elders of the Ao family did not feel strange at all, but stretched their brows in relief. In their opinion, entering the star pool is what Ren Xiaoyao should do.
Entering the star pool, Ren Xiaoyao felt the gap between this star pool and the star pool he had soaked before.
In the previous star pool, there will be endless warmth, and the strange energy of the star pool will voluntarily pour into the body to improve one's own physique. It's hard to put into words how comfortable and comfortable it is.
But in the star pool in front of him, Ren Xiaoyao could only feel the faint heat, making the surrounding pool water not so cold, and there was no other feeling.
It can be seen that in this proud star pool, the energy has long been almost exhausted, and it is not helpful to me now.
If you really can't find the light of the Star Essence, then this trip is really in vain.
At the bottom of the star pool, Ren Xiaoyao is still searching from south to north, one by one. Because it was close to the bottom of the star pool, he could sense the situation in the rocks below more clearly, and he could detect it faster. However, due to the barrier of the energy of the layers of star pools, the width of his accurate detection has been reduced a little, and he can only detect about ten meters per trip.
However, Rao is like this, and it won't take one night to detect the entire star pool.
But one night later, Ren Xiaoyao flew out of the star pool, his face heavy.
"Impossible, how can I not have any special sense at all? Am I really wrong?"
For the first time, Ren Xiaoyao doubted his previous inference.
After many searches, he searched almost the entire rocks at the bottom of the star pool, but found nothing. The concentration of energy in the entire Aojia Star Pool was basically uniform, and there was no difference in shade! In this way, he could not feel any special attraction to him.
After pondering for a while, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Ren Xiaoyao's face. He decided to use a ruthless method, which can be regarded as a stupid method.
With a turn, he returned to the bottom of the star pool.
Through the layers of star pool energy, there was no movement he made at the bottom of the pool outside. He simply took out the Wind and Frost Sword.
Whew......
A sword slashed horizontally and vertically, and the sword rays of the four wrong verticals and horizontals swayed out.
Puff puff!
The rocks at the bottom of the pool below, how could they withstand such a bombardment, and they were crushed one after another!
Messy gravel and powder, splashing in all directions, stirred up the entire bottom of the pool. And around Ren Xiaoyao, there is a layer of golden star power light shrouded in it, and there will be no gravel and powder approaching.
Ren Xiaoyao marched all the way to the bottom of the pool, swinging his sword frantically all the way.
There is no need for any sword moves, and although these rocks are much harder than ordinary rocks, they can't stop the power of the Wind and Frost Sword at all.
This speed of destruction is much faster than the previous two detection methods.
His idea was simple: the rock that blocked the light of the Shining Essence was a special stone that could not be shattered unless slashed with a Frost Sword stained with his own blood. Split all the rocks at the bottom of the pool yourself, but where they weren't crushed, it was likely to be where the light of the Essence of the Stars was located.
Ren Xiaoyao's speed was fast, and in less than an hour, he slashed the entire bottom of the star pool!
But he kept looking at every inch of the rock, but he couldn't find anything that couldn't be broken.
Just as he was frowning, there was a loud shout from above: "Ren Xiaoxiao, what are you doing!"
Listening to that voice, it was one of the two elders of the Ao family.
Ren Xiaoyao pursed his lips helplessly, it seemed that his "ruthless method" was discovered by them. He kicked up on the ground and flew to the sky above the star pool: "Hehe, I didn't do anything, I just soaked below and practiced the sword at the same time." ”
"Sword practice, look at the good things you've done!"
The other party did not give up, and even his face was red with anger.
Ren Xiaoyao pursed his lips disappreciatively, and said in his heart that these two proud old guys are really stingy enough. However, he still followed the gaze of the two of them and looked down, and at this glance, he was also stunned.
I saw that in the star pool below, the energy of the star pool was flowing slowly like ordinary water flow. From the edge, you can't see anything, but when you look at the center of the star pool, you can see a huge whirlpool, and the flow speed of the star pool's energy has reached a terrifying level!
That whirlpool, bottomless, almost reached the bottom of the star pool!
"This ......"
Ren Xiaoyao was surprised, and his heart was racing.
"Did I accidentally trigger something, the center of the vortex, which is where I'm looking?"
Although he thought so, Ren Xiaoyao didn't say this: "What's the situation? I'm just slashing a few swords on the edge, and it's none of my business to make such a big move! ”
As he spoke, Ren Yao flew towards the center of the whirlpool.
He hadn't sensed the aura of the Shine Essence light yet, but he already felt excitement in his heart.
"Wait!"
The two proud elders stopped Ren Xiaoyao.
"This is the star pool of our proud family, no matter what appears, it should be handled by our proud family. ”
"Ren Xiaoyao, you have already caused trouble in our proud family's star pool, don't blame us for disqualifying you from soaking for three days!"
The two of you said a word, but they wanted to stop Ren Xiaoyao from coming forward to investigate. The reason is very simple, although they don't know what is in the whirlpool, but there may be opportunities and benefits for any change, and they don't want such opportunities to fall into the hands of outsiders.
"You're watching here, I'll go back and inform the head of the house and the Council of Elders!"
The black-bearded old man said a word and turned away. And the white-bearded old man stayed behind to watch Ren Xiaoyao and didn't let Ren Xiaoyao approach the whirlpool.
