The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1140 Your words were a little hurtful.
The rosy glow dimmed, as if it were about to disappear at any moment. However, at this moment, the spiritual energy in the air suddenly became extremely active, converging on the pool from all directions, and then rushing into the pool like rivers flowing into the sea, finally disappearing into the pool.

Absorb spiritual energy and transform it into immortal spiritual energy?

Lin Chen keenly sensed that the spiritual energy content in the air was rapidly decreasing. Soon, the spiritual energy became extremely thin, just like in the human world.

Lin Chen suddenly realized.

My master once said that he was unable to exert his full strength while hiding on this island because the spiritual energy was absorbed by the pool, resulting in a thin spiritual energy and thus suppressing his strength.

After the spiritual energy was completely absorbed by the pool, the rosy glow disappeared completely, and gray mist once again enveloped the entire pool.

The enormous beasts by the pools all left, and two of them even passed by Lin Chen.

The pool returned to calm.

"Fairy, all the spiritual energy has been absorbed into the pool. The spiritual energy is thin, and my combat power is greatly affected..."

Xuanji replied, "It won't have much of an impact. Go down into the pool and take a look. I'm also very curious about what's at the bottom of the pool. Once we get it, we'll run!"

Not a big impact?

Lin Chen pursed his lips. "Okay, it seems that my combat power doesn't really matter, as long as your combat power can be maintained."

That's a little hurtful.

"Could there be giant beasts in the water too?"

Xuanji replied, "Probably not, otherwise, given the commotion just now, there would be no reason for it not to come and join in the fun."

Lin Chen thought about it and felt a little relieved. He then began to move towards the pool.

Before long, Lin Chen arrived at the edge of the pool. Looking at the dark, murky water, Lin Chen subconsciously felt a little scared.

This is fear of the unknown.

"Go down, I'll protect you."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, went down into the pool, swam to the center, and then dived downwards.

He had memorized the location where the radiant light was blooming; the light shot out in a straight line, meaning the treasure should be underwater below that spot.

Lin Chen was too lazy to dive, so he casually took out a heavy weapon from his spatial ring. The enormous weight dragged Lin Chen down to the bottom of the water.

Lin Chen had initially guessed that the pool didn't look very big and its depth was probably limited, but he was wrong.

This pool is so deep you can't see the bottom!
Not only was it very deep, but the water temperature also decreased as it continued to sink.

The biting cold relentlessly eroded Lin Chen's body, and black ice even appeared on his skin. He felt as if his soul was about to be frozen.

This is way too deep!
It's so cold!
Lin Chen suddenly realized that it wasn't that the giant beasts didn't want to seize the treasures below, but rather that they simply didn't dare to go that deep!
Just as Lin Chen felt he was about to be completely frozen, he suddenly sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.

Lin Chen was secretly delighted. He decided to hold on a little longer!
After descending another hundred meters or so, Lin Chen's feet finally touched solid ground, and the source of that dense spiritual energy fluctuation was only about five meters in front of him.

Lin Chen scanned the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation with his divine sense and roughly determined from its shape that it was a metal plate.

Lin Chen was almost frozen solid by now, so he couldn't possibly be bothered to carefully observe and search.

Lin Chen reached out and grabbed the metal piece, which flew up and landed directly in his hand.

Lin Chen threw it directly into his spatial ring, then put away the heavy weapon and struck out with a palm.

The immense recoil propelled Lin Chen's body upwards like a mine, and just as the momentum was about to dissipate, Lin Chen unleashed another palm strike.

"Wow!"

Lin Chen burst out of the pool, his body covered in a layer of black ice. He was deathly pale from the extreme cold, looking like a stark white corpse. His teeth were chattering, and he looked utterly wretched.

"it's too cold!"

Lin Chen shattered the black ice on his body, took out the Water-Fire Mirror, and released a blazing flame.

The high temperature warmed Lin Chen's ice-cold body, and it took a long time for his trembling teeth to return to normal.

"Fairy, now that we have the item, can we leave?"

"can."

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, a chilling scream suddenly came from the sky, and at the same time, a huge figure swooped down from above.

"careful!"

Xuanji spoke up to remind him, and at the same time slapped her palm upwards.

The terrifying bird's enormous size appeared in Lin Chen's line of sight, but as soon as it showed its head, it was swatted away by Xuan Ji with a single palm strike.

The terror bird tumbled and crashed into the cliff face like a meteorite, smashing through half of the cliff.

Xuanji's attack was so powerful that even a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage couldn't withstand it. Yet, the terrifying bird flipped itself up as if nothing had happened and let out another deafening cry.

"Boom boom boom!"

The earth trembled, perhaps because they had heard the cry of the terror bird, and many giant beasts quickly surrounded the area.
