Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 638 Tong Wei: Oh no, Chen Jiu has found a loophole!

The Dragon Gate has opened!
Seeing this, everyone in the arena was excited. Someone shouted, and then everyone stared excitedly at the huge dragon gate that appeared under the Tianchi Lake.

At this moment, the water of Tianchi Lake was so deep that the bottom could be seen, and the underground Dragon Gate was wide open. When everyone looked over, they saw many large aquatic creatures around the Dragon Gate. They looked strange and unusual. The people around stared at each other and exclaimed, "Those are water monsters!"

"That's right, it really is a lake monster. I've heard people say that there's a lake monster under this Heavenly Lake. I didn't believe it before, but after seeing it today, I really believe it. There really is a lake monster here."

"What is that? It has such a long neck."

"And that one, it looks like a big turtle."

Everyone was chattering away, and at the same time, Tong Wei, the patriarch of the Whale Shark Gang, stood up, glanced at the Tang Clan across the way, and then said to his men, "Alright, stop looking, the water's coming in!"

Upon hearing this, his subordinates paused for a moment before immediately responding. At the same time, Tang Bao from the Tang Clan stood up with his hands behind his back like an old man and said, "Water is coming in."

Upon hearing this, all the recruiters behind him agreed. At this moment, Tang Bao and Tong Wei exchanged a glance and remembered their agreement from earlier that day.

They agreed that when the Dragon Gate opened, they would not enter first, but would let their subordinates enter first, while the two of them would stay on the shore to prevent the others from entering. As they spoke, the two of them looked over at Li Siqi and the other group of third-level martial artists.

Seeing this, Li Siqi and the others were furious. However, the two men were standing there, their meaning clear: anyone who dared to enter the water first, except for their subordinates, would be attacked by the two men together. With two fourth-level Fusion Gods working together, even if Li Siqi and his fellow arrogant guys were arrogant, they knew that they could not enter the water before the two men.

Thinking this, the group reached a stalemate by the Heavenly Pool. At this moment, the members of the Tang Clan and the Whale Shark Gang prepared to fall into the water.

However, as soon as these people fell into the water, they immediately felt a weight on their bodies. The water in the Heavenly Pool was not like ordinary water, which has buoyancy. On the contrary, it had a strong suppressive force.

These people felt incredibly heavy, as if they had jumped into mercury rather than water. However, these people were not ordinary; they were all at least at the level of a Molten God. Although it was difficult for them to enter the water, they were still able to withstand it.

However, just as they were enduring the water pressure, they suddenly discovered that the water monster in the water was churning out and attacking the people who had come down.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at the water monster.

First was a monster with a long neck and a small head, but its body was over ten meters long. It would bite anyone it saw, and its strength was also very powerful. It was able to repel several experts at the Fusion God Realm.

If Chen Jie saw this, he would definitely recognize it as the legendary plesiosaur.

It is truly strange that these ancient and strange creatures have not perished and that some of them still exist in the world.

Besides the plesiosaur, there were also giant turtles with bodies tens of meters wide, and strange fish with sharp teeth. These monsters all attacked the people who had gone into the water, and for a time they managed to hold them off.

Seeing this, Li Siqi looked at the two fourth-rank old guys glaring at them and said.

"Chief Tong, Sect Leader Tang, why are you just staring at us like this? Don't you want to go down and compete for the opportunity?"

Upon hearing this, Tong Wei said, "Of course we should go down, but we're not in a hurry, and I hope you're not in a hurry either."

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi frowned and said, "Gentlemen, this opportunity has fallen from the sky and belongs to everyone. Isn't this too domineering?"

Tang Bao of the Tang Clan said, "If you think we're too domineering, then make your move. At that time, life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. No one can stop you."

Li Siqi said, "Sect Leader Tang, why bother? If we remain locked in this stalemate, what if someone takes advantage of the situation?"

"Heh, a loophole? Who can exploit our loophole? I think you're the one trying to cause trouble, aren't you?"

Li Siqi said, "Sect Leader Tang, it's better to be safe than sorry. Putting aside everything else, just before, who could have imagined that our Great Qian's Treasure Elephant Army Commander would be killed by that little Chen Jiu Si? In the end, he also died in Jiangnan with regret."

"I heard that you two also sent troops back then, but I haven't heard how it ended."

Upon hearing this, Tang Bao of the Tang Clan and Tong Wei of the Whale Shark Gang both changed their expressions. They were already furious at the mention of Chen Jiu Si, but they put on a serious face and said, "Li Si Qi, don't think you can provoke us with a few words. Let me tell you, I don't care what Chen Jiu Si is like, but today we will absolutely not let you enter this Heavenly Pool first to seek that opportunity."

Li Siqi looked at the two of them with a cold and helpless gaze. These two were completely unyielding.

Feeling agitated, and just as he was wondering how to get to the bottom of the pool, his gaze suddenly sharpened and he saw the bottom. He exclaimed in alarm, "Look at the bottom of the pool!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Bao and Tong Wei both scoffed, "You're going to use such a low-level tactic again!"

Upon hearing this, Li Siqi roared in fury, "Look!"

Seeing Li Siqi like this, the two couldn't help but glance down. In just one glance, they were both furious. At the bottom of the pool, in front of the Dragon Gate, a person was slowly swimming towards the Dragon Gate. The movements were very smooth, and it was clear that the person was good at swimming.

Tong Wei and Tang Bao were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. This guy didn't seem to be one of their recruits. Their recruits were being blocked by those water monsters on the upper level of Tianchi Lake!
How could this be!

Li Siqi calmed down at this point, and looking at the swimmer below, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha...you two old geezers, you really let someone slip through your fingers! Do you know who's down there?"

"That's Chen Jiu Si, the very Chen Jiu Si who made you two lose face! Hahaha, what's the use of you stopping us? You two incompetent fools will die at his hands sooner or later. This opportunity belongs to him!"

Li Siqi's voice immediately brought Tong Wei and Tang Bao to their senses. The two exchanged a glance and said, "How did this guy get water in? We had no idea."

"I don't know. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to go into the water. We can't let him get the upper hand."

The two exchanged a glance, then leaped into the air and plunged into the water. Seeing the two fourth-stage Molten Gods enter the water, Li Siqi shouted, "Quick, let's go in too!" With that, a group of people rushed into the water and headed straight for the Dragon Gate.

At this moment, the water monsters saw these guys rushing over and tried to stop them. The plesiosaur stretched out its neck and bit Tong Wei, but Tong Wei directly used his great magic power. His body frantically released qi, which took shape in the water. In a moment, a huge whale shark phantom surrounded him.

Seeing the plesiosaur lunge at him, Tong Wei charged straight at it. The whale shark behind him instantly opened its massive jaws and bit down on the plesiosaur.

In reality, Tong Wei suddenly grabbed the plesiosaur's neck with both hands, and with a sudden burst of strength, like a whale shark snapping its jaws, he snapped the plesiosaur's neck with a crack.

Seeing this scene, everyone around was shocked. The plesiosaur's power, enhanced by the Heavenly Pool, should be no weaker than a first or second-stage Fusion God, yet it couldn't even last a single round against Tong Wei. It was truly terrifying.

Thinking this, Tong Wei and Tang Bao accelerated down the river. At this moment, a terrifying power emerged from the water. Sensing this terrifying power, the people around them unconsciously made way for them.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of Tianchi Lake, before the Dragon Gate, Chen Jie was swimming rapidly when he suddenly felt the moonlight in the sky being blocked. Looking up, he saw Tang Bao and Tong Wei rushing down, their eyes filled with murderous intent, clearly wanting to devour Chen Jie alive.

Chen Jie saw this scene, frowned slightly, glanced at the Dragon Gate in front of him, and without hesitation, plunged in. Meanwhile, Tang Bao and Tong Wei outside were furious, their faces turning purple. They wanted to threaten him, but they couldn't, as there was no way to transmit sound in the water.

Moreover, Chen Jiu Si has already entered the Dragon Gate.

As soon as Chen Jie plunged into the Dragon Gate, he felt as if he had entered a different world. He was immediately placed in a confined space with extremely narrow waterways. After churning and swirling around inside, he finally reached the innermost part. But once there, he suddenly discovered that it was a space without water.

Chen Jie slowly swam out of the pool, looking at the huge cave in front of him with surprise. How strange, where is the water?
Chen Jie looked back at the pool of clear water in front of him, and then recalled the space he had just swum in. In an instant, Chen Jie realized that he had swum in what seemed to be a U-shaped bend.

No wonder there's no water here. With a U-shaped bend, there should be one air pressure here and one water pressure outside. According to the principle of communicating vessels, this place can achieve a state without water. Chen Jie really had to marvel at the wonders of nature.

Thinking this, Chen Jie began searching through the caves. Suddenly, he saw a row of caves ahead, each leading to a different place, but he didn't know the specific directions.

Looking at the cave in front of him, Chen Jie thought to himself, "This really is a matter of leaving everything to fate."

Thinking this, Chen Jie chose a cave and went inside. Not long after he left, he saw bubbles rising in the pool, and then two people entered. They were Tong Wei and Tang Bao. The two walked over, looking at everything in front of them with cold eyes, and then asked, "Where is that kid Chen Jiu Si?"

Tong Wei and Tang Bao searched around and found a row of caves in front of them. After thinking for a moment, they each chose a cave to enter.

Not long after they left, another group of people came in. They were none other than the three powerful cultivators who had come to search for treasure, including Li Siqi and Damoba.

After that, people started going inside one after another.

So the group went straight into the caves, and people entered almost every cave one after another.

And this time, the dragon vein treasure hunt has begun.

Chen Jie was the first to enter the cave. As soon as he entered, he saw countless sparkling crystals, all embedded in the walls, making it look magnificent.

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Jie thought to himself, "This must be a crystal mine."

Thinking this, he continued walking forward. After walking for a short while, the view suddenly opened up before him, revealing a blue underground forest. The trees here were blue, giving it a mythical feel.

Chen Jie cautiously ventured inside and found the forest to be very quiet. Then, looking down, he spotted a blue mushroom under a large blue tree.

Upon seeing the mushroom, Chen Jie's eyes lit up. Could this be the legendary "Blue Mushroom"? It's a medicinal ingredient used in making longevity medicines.

Thinking that Chen Jie should immediately go and pick the medicinal herbs, the lifespan limit of humans in this world is one hundred and fifty years. To break through this limit, one must have an extraordinary opportunity to find a way to extend life, and ordinary methods of extending life are simply useless.

However, there is one longevity medicine that is sure to be useful. This medicine is recorded in the Changchun Valley inheritance obtained by Chen Jie. It records that Peng Zu in ancient times lived to be eight hundred years old. He ate blue mushrooms and drank the water of Qiongluo, which contributed to his long life.

Therefore, through tireless efforts and continuous experimentation, and with the help of the third-generation valley master, the people of Changchun Valley found the Blue Mushroom and later purchased three drops of Qiongluo Water from the Western Regions, finally refining the strongest longevity elixir of Changchun Valley, Peng Dan!

Later, this elixir was consumed by the third generation of valley masters, who lived to the age of 162 before passing away.

One pill can extend one's life by twelve years, which shows the power of this longevity pill. One of its main ingredients is this blue mushroom.

The so-called blue mushroom is a deep blue color, with a crystal-like appearance, resembling amber. Chen Jie looked at the blue mushroom in front of him and was quite pleased. He hadn't expected to find such a blue mushroom here.

Chen Jie looked over and saw two mushrooms. One was very large, about five centimeters tall. When the mushroom cap was opened, it was about the size of an apple, making it a relatively large mushroom.

There was also a small one, with an umbrella-shaped cap only the size of a fingernail; it was clearly newly grown.

Thinking this, Chen Jie squatted down and picked the big one, leaving the small one for future generations.

After finishing, Chen Jie turned and left, continuing to walk through the forest. He had only walked a short distance when he suddenly felt a chilling sensation. Chen Jie was very agile and jumped onto a large tree. Immediately afterward, he saw a giant blue python sweep past below the tree. Its enormous body looked quite frightening, and the strength it possessed made Chen Jie feel quite uneasy.

This giant python actually possesses the strength of the mid-stage of the Furnace Realm. It should be noted that in this world, people's martial arts power is suppressed. Even with Chen Jie's second-stage Furnace God power, he can only exert the strength of the early stage of the Furnace Realm.

Just as Grandma Hu San Tai said, the power here is greatly suppressed, but the wild monsters here don't seem to be affected much.

As Chen Jie thought this, he watched the giant blue python slowly swim around, then find a big tree, coil up on it, and remain motionless, as if it had fallen asleep.
