Chapter 770 Unexpected Findings
In the glass tunnel, Lu Yu and the others stood before the glass, and they could see the Water Spirit Dragon swimming about.
The aquarium had placed many light-emitting balls in the lake so that they could see the Water Spirit Dragon even under the lake.
Suddenly, the Water Spirit Dragon sped up, opened its jaws, and swallowed a tuna in one gulp.
“Wasn’t this originally a lake? Why are there saltwater fish?” Lu Yu asked.
“This lake is too big, so we changed it into a saltwater lake to introduce more varieties of fish. After all, this is an aquarium. When tourists come, they will want to see various kinds of fish.”
At this moment, Lu Yu saw a blue whale swimming over; the whale was about the size of a truck.
However, the Water Spirit Dragon rushed over. Its speed in the water was greatly enhanced, and it rushed out like a bullet.
With a swoosh, the whale swimming about just a moment ago was instantly left with half a tail.
“This Water Spirit Dragon is ferocious!” Qin Yang exclaimed in surprise.
“Nonsense, how could he have killed Dai Qianhe if he wasn’t? Eating these animals is like eating small shrimp to it.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu admired the beautiful figure of the Water Spirit Dragon.
An Heng leaned against the glass wall and looked excitedly at the Water Spirit Dragon. This was the first time he had seen such a large and ancient creature up close.
His adrenaline was pumped when he saw the Water Spirit Dragon hunting.
“So cool!”
An Lan’s eyes were locked on the Water Spirit Dragon’s body. She sighed and said, “A creature like a giant dragon is so beautiful and powerful…”
However, the aquarium’s management was all sitting in the monitoring room, nervously watching the monitoring screen.
The underwater surveillance screen showed that the Water Spirit Dragon was devouring the creatures in the aquarium at a breakneck speed.
The aquarium owner wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked nervously, “Will this dragon eat all our fish?”
“I think it’s possible…”
“It’s rampaging and has already swallowed a few whales. If this goes on, our aquarium will be eaten clean.”
“What should we do? This is a guest brought by Young Master Qin. Moreover, I heard that this Water Spirit Dragon is our benefactor.”
“There’s nothing we can do about that. We can only watch helplessly…”
“How terrifying. I never thought that I would be able to see such an ancient, divine beast here in my lifetime. Such a rare sight.”
“We’re lucky to see such a legendary creature up close.”
Everyone in the monitoring room was nervous as the Water Spirit Dragon’s appetite seemed to be a little big, so big that they were a little afraid.
It was not just them, as Qin Yang also wondered the same thing.
“The Water Spirit Dragon won’t eat all the fish here, right? That would be scary.”
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. “I doubt it when the lake is this big. Although the Water Spirit Dragon is huge, its appetite is not unlimited. There’s no way it can finish eating the entire aquarium.”
At this moment, Qin Yang quickly pointed at the Water Spirit Dragon and said, “It seems to be swimming towards the bottom of the lake.” Seeing this, Lu Yu and the others looked over and realized that the Water Spirit Dragon was indeed rushing to the bottom of the lake. “Did something happen? Let’s hurry up and go down to take a look.”
As Qin Yang spoke, he moved forward quickly along the tunnel under the lake.
Soon, after making a few turns, they almost reached the bottom of the lake.
At this moment, they finally saw the figure of the Water Spirit Dragon again.
They saw the Water Spirit Dragon resting at the bottom of the lake through the glass tunnel.
Lu Yu and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they suddenly realized that the Water Spirit Dragon seemed to be digging something with its claws.
“What is the Water Spirit Dragon doing?
Brother Lu Yu, can you tell?” Qin Yang asked. Lu Yu shook his head slightly. “The Water Spirit Dragon doesn’t have high intelligence in its current state. It is only capable of the most basic telepathic connectivity with me.”
“If I can find the Water Spirit Dragon’s soul and fuse it back to its main body, only then will its intelligence increase to a level where it can talk to me.”
“Now, we can only guess what it will do.”
Everyone looked at the Water Spirit Dragon intently.
The Water Spirit Dragon’s claws kept breaking the rocks at the bottom of the lake and digging down.
“Maybe it found something good,” Han Xuefei said curiously.
“That’s right. I doubt it would do something meaningless.”
Xu Yuan added.
The Water Spirit Dragon suddenly used a significant amount of force to pry open a piece of gravel; a crack appeared before it.
The crack emitted a faint blue light, which quickly attracted the attention of Lu Yu and the others.
“The Water Spirit Dragon opened a crack at the bottom of the lake. What’s going on?” Qin Yang asked in surprise.
Lu Yu was also at a loss. He looked at the Water Spirit Dragon and waited for its next move. At this moment, the crack began to emit waves of light particles. The light floated in the water and quickly scattered in the surroundings. Lu Yu began to calm down and feel the energy released from the crack. Surprised, he exclaimed, “This crack is releasing a large amount of spiritual energy!
This is the spiritual energy that cultivators need!”
Lu Yu said it with shock. Generally speaking, cultivators’ attributes slowly increase when they cultivate in seclusion. Therefore, the higher the spiritual energy in the place where they cultivated, the faster their attributes would grow.
It was just that this world lacked spiritual energy, and most people were more willing to enter a dungeon or secret realm and increase their strength by fighting monsters.
But now, Lu Yu felt an unprecedented release of spiritual energy!
“This spiritual energy is huge!”
“This is definitely a spirit vein that has been dug out. I didn’t expect the Water Spirit Dragon’s sense of smell to be this good that it could actually find such a deeply hidden spirit vein!” Qin Yang exclaimed in astonishment. “That’s great. Doesn’t that mean we can use this spirit vein to increase our strength?” Yun Zirou asked excitedly. The Water Spirit Dragon suddenly pressed down and covered the crack with its entire body. After that, everyone could no longer feel the spiritual energy leaking out.
For a moment, they wondered what the Water Spirit Dragon was doing.
Qin Yang pointed at the Water Spirit Dragon curiously. “Does this mean that it wants to monopolize this spirit vein?”
“Maybe, but if I order it, it will leave obediently.”
Qin Yang hurriedly waved his hand. “It’s fine; just let it stay here and absorb the spiritual energy. Perhaps it can make its strength soar.”
Lu Yu was serious. “Finding a spirit vein this time is a pleasant surprise. After all, it has been a long time since anyone has discovered such a thing.”
“I wonder how abundant the spiritual energy contained in this spiritual vein is. If we absorb it, we can probably increase our strength greatly.” Lu Yu sighed.
“For now, let the Water Spirit Dragon absorb its fill. When it reaches the bottleneck, it will naturally come out.”
Lu Yu decided that since the Water Spirit Dragon had found the spiritual vein, he should let it absorb it first.
Qin Yang also agreed. After all, the Water Spirit Dragon had helped them kill Dai Qianhe. It would be too stingy of them if they couldn’t give up this little spiritual energy.
