，

The ticking sound is supposed to be the sound of the water in the pond seeping into the ground and falling into this pool.

But why was this space built under a pond?

What is it used for?

What are these points of light?

And this waterhole, doesn't it look natural?

Artificial waterholes?

What is it used for?

......

Du Wenxing, who came back to his senses, had one question after another in his heart.

He slowly swam towards the waterhole, approaching the points of light, paddling with one left arm, but hiding his right arm under the water, holding the iron branch tightly in his right hand, in a state that was ready to strike.

When he came to the waterhole, Du Wenxing did not go ashore, at least now he can confirm that it is safe in the waterhole, but not on the shore.

He reached out and touched a point of light lightly, while the iron branch in his other hand was ready to strike.

Burst!

Just as Du Wenxing's fingers were close to the distance of touching the point of light, the point of light suddenly went out, and then a huge feeling of danger came from the bottom of his heart.

Du Wenxing didn't think about it, the iron branch in the water had been cut out.

The iron branch seemed to have struck something, and there was a soft touch, and the force exploded instantly, and then poured out.

What's going on?

There seemed to be a suction force on the iron branch, which instantly sucked the power contained in Du Wenxing's iron branch dry, and not only that, but the true qi in Du Wenxing's body also began to boil.

These once obedient "little obedient" are now starting to rebel one after another, and now his body is simply boiling over!

True Qi flowed down the meridians, through the hand holding the iron branch, through the iron branch, and finally flowed into the softness.

Grass, Lao Tzu's true qi that he finally practiced!

Du Wenxing scolded in his heart, desperately running the "Qingcheng Jade Fang Jue", wanting to take back the control of the true qi.

This operation is good, not only did it not control the true qi in the body, but it inhaled the abundant spiritual qi in the surrounding space, and then it was transformed into true qi by the "Qingcheng Jade Room Jue", which was continuously input into that piece of softness.

Du Wenxing felt as if his body had become a transit station, inhaling the aura - transforming the true qi - losing to the unknown creature!

But it doesn't seem to hurt you either?

After being nervous for a while, Du Wenxing suddenly found that it didn't seem to hurt him to be a "True Qi Transport Captain".

The strange creature in the darkness seemed to have no other actions that could threaten itself except to devour its true qi, and its own body seemed to have become a bottomless pit in the entry and exit of this true qi, and it could run the Qingcheng Jade Fang Jue infinitely.

In this process, the meridians were gradually broadened and strengthened, and his understanding of this practice was also deepened in the operation again and again, especially some subtleties that he had not noticed before.

This adjustment was not active, but because the creature on the opposite side that devoured its True Qi did not seem to be satisfied with the speed at which it was creating True Qi, and it was able to guide its True Qi while devouring its True Qi.

The subtle, heavy meridians that have never been touched are opened up in the process.

One by one, the acupuncture points that were originally useless for the operation of the "Qingcheng Jade Room Jue" exercise were also opened.

At the same time, the departure of True Qi also took away the impurities in his body little by little, making Du Wenxing feel as if his body seemed to be lighter.

These benefits can completely make up for the disadvantages of the disappearance of internal forces.

After all, I have built a foundation, and the internal force is gone, and it is only a matter of time before I practice it back.

With virtual reality, the most important thing he lacks is time.

The only trouble is that I am a little mentally tired, and I can't make mistakes in running the "Qingcheng Jade Room Jue" non-stop, especially when the running route is getting more and more complicated, which is definitely not an easy task!

Especially later, the more energy is consumed, Du Wenxing feels that his brain has become a piece of mush, and he has no consciousness anymore.

However, even so, the "Qingcheng Jade Room Jue" in the body is still running, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Finally, Du Wenxing couldn't hold it anymore...... He fell asleep.

While he was asleep, the route of "Qingcheng Jade House Jue" changed more and more and became more and more complicated......

When Du Wenxing woke up, he only felt full of energy and full of energy.

Wait, God is all right?

...... Gasy?

He immediately checked his body, only to feel that the true qi in his body was full and flowing, like substance, and it had increased many times more than before.

True Qi is back again?

No, it should be practiced again!

Could it be that the guy on the other side has already sucked up?

Du Wenxing looked at the iron branch, but he couldn't see anything but darkness and a little bit of light.

He tried to retract the iron branch, but the other end of the iron branch was fortunately caught by a powerful magnet, and it did not move.

He tried to let go again, but the palm of his right hand seemed to be glued to an iron branch, and no matter how he shook and tore it, he couldn't get rid of it.

Damn it!

What kind of monster is on the other side?

Am I going to be trapped here for the rest of my life, to become a machine that provides true qi to this strange creature?

...... Wait, the other party seems to be afraid of water?

He suddenly thought of the clear distinction between the points of light and the waterhole around him, and judging from the feeling when he touched his fingers just now, these points of light should be some organ of this strange creature.

Since they don't even want to go near the waterhole, they are obviously afraid of water, or at least they don't like it.

So......

Du Wenxing's left hand plunged into the water, picked up a handful of water and quickly sprinkled it into the darkness opposite the iron branch.

Squeak, a mouse-like and juvenile suckling pig call, resounded from the darkness.

Then Du Wenxing was horrified to find that the darkness around him seemed to come to life, suddenly squirmed, and quickly shrank to the other end of his iron branch.

And with the contraction of "darkness", those points of light are also shrinking, or gathering......

In a moment, the darkness that was so deep in this underground space that it seemed to absorb the line of sight disappeared.

Instead, Du Wenxing saw a strange creature in front of him that looked like a rat but not a mouse, a bird but not a bird, and a dead fish but not a fish.

The monster's body was only about the size of two palms of Du Wenxing, and the skin of its body was in a dull and deep state, like ...... It's like "darkness" just now.

Thinking of this, Du Wenxing was shocked!

Dark?

Don't...... The strange "darkness" in this space just now was caused by this monster's body?

Du Wenxing couldn't help but think of the strange phenomenon that the "darkness" came to life just now.

It felt like ...... It was as if the stretched skin was bouncing and shrinking.

And the points of light that once spread throughout the space seem to confirm this, and now these small points of light are all gathered at the upper end of the monster's body, densely packed and almost connected.

And when the monster's body shrank back to its current size, the underground space was obviously much better than just now, and it was possible to vaguely see the empty scene around it.

Can...... How could such a small body the size of two adults' palms stretch out to cover the entire space?

Du Wenxing's heart was extremely curious, and even his fear was diluted.
