Chapter 983 Spatial Tunnel
"..."
Faced with the innocent expression filled with confusion, Xuan Hao stopped himself just as he was about to grab the rabbit demon beast and throw it into the water.
Squeak?
Not understanding why Xuan Hao was looking at it in a rather weird way, the rabbit demon beast slowly tilted its head with an even more confused expression than before present on its small fluffy face. Resulting in Xuan Hao feeling even more awkward about what he had been planning to do.
But... If I don't throw it in the water, there is no way I will be able to figure out how it was able to make it through the water so easily...
Whoosh~
Squeak!?
Splash!
Before the rabbit demon beast had any time to react, Xuan Hao gently shook his sleeve over the edge of the terraced pool. Resulting in the rabbit demon beast falling straight into the crystal-clear water below.
To start with, the speed that the energy of the rabbit demon beast was being absorbed was noticeably slower compared to when he had entered the water and there was no sign of this being due to some special ability of the rabbit demon beast. Meaning that there was no way for him to slow down the speed at which his energy was being absorbed by the crystal-clear water.
Although this had not been a problem so far considering that he only had to swim a little over a hundred meters so far, there were some terraced water pools up ahead that stretched on for close to a kilometer. Even with his strength, he doubted he would be able to hold on long enough to swim to the other side before his energy ran out and he was swallowed by the crystal-clear water.
However, he also discovered that the space around the rabbit demon beast was twisting and stretching in the direction that the rabbit demon beast was swimming. Trapping it in some kind of spatial tunnel, that made travelling a distance of a few meters become several kilometers long.
But... how am I supposed to use my dao domain to negate this with the Dao of Space, when keeping my dao domain active for a few seconds uses up most of my energy? Even if it increases my speed of traversing the water, I doubt that it will be anymore effective than just swimming through the spatial tunnels...
Gazing towards the mountains in the distance as he thought about how to make it through the water without using all of his energy before reaching the other side, Xuan Hao could not help feeling worried when looking at the large body of water located in between the mountains and the place where the smaller terraced pools of water were located.
Haaa... Given that I will have to recover my energy every time I pass through one of the terraced pools of water, it will at least take a few days before I can reach the last one located between the mountain and the rest of the terraced pools. Maybe I will be able to find a way to negate the effect of the spatial tunnels created by the water now that I know that they are there...
Whoosh~
Splash!
Not wasting any more time, Xuan Hao stepped over the edge and plunged into the water of the next terraced pool of water before starting to swim towards the edge of it. Not relaxing in the slightest during this time, as he also made sure to release his divine sense to observe the spatial tunnel that trapped him the moment, he entered the water. Trying to figure out if there were any flaws in the spatial tunnel that he would be able to take advantage of, while at the same time also trying to experiment with how much energy he would have to put into his dao domain to start affecting the spatial tunnel.
