Chapter 305 Something’s Not Righ (2/2)

In the end, Zhou Yuan to get himself tied up over such details, especially since it was a good thing for him anyways. Without the pressure, his Genesis Qi consumption in the reservoir would be far less than the others, giving him a huge advantage.

With such thoughts in mind, Zhou Yuan decided not to tarry any longer. His figure moved, swiftly swimming towards the depths of the reservoir.

As he swam deeper, he discovered the presence of a faint mist inside the reservoir. Fortunately, he could still had his bearings due to his Spirit senses.

After swimming for a long time, Zhou Yuan’s body suddenly paused, because he had felt a faint undulation.

It came from under some giant boulders below him.

His figure gradually descended, landing on one of the boulders, and stomped on it with one of his feet. The boulder immediately shattered as a thumb-sized ball of light slowly began to rise.

Zhou Yuan grabbed it and curiously uncurled his fingers.

A thumb-sized golden crystal floated on his palm, a drop of golden liquid inside it. The liquid appeared to be extremely viscous, slowly squirming about as if it was alive, while giving off peculiar undulations.

“Is this the Dragon Genesis Essence?” Zhou Yuan observed the drop of viscous fluid. If he was not wrong, it should be the most important item for the Genesis Marrow Baptism, the Dragon Genesis Essence.

“But this is a little too diluted.” Zhou Yuan awkwardly scratched his head. According to Zhou Tai, even the lowest one dragon baptism would require at least several dozen drops of Dragon Genesis Essence.

Zhou Yuan retrieved a bottle and placed the Dragon Genesis Essence inside.

However, while Zhou Yuan was engaged in this task, the water behind him rippled faintly. A faint silhouette stealthily crept out from the rocks as a somewhat translucent hundred feet look beast appeared behind him.

The beast’s eyes greedily stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure, as if it was looking at something delicious. Next, it opened its giant mouth and lunged towards Zhou Yuan.

Pchla!

The moment the creature moved, a brush shadow wrapped in golden Genesis Qi tore through the water, bringing with it astonishing power as it instantaneously pierced the beast’s head.

Zhou Yuan turned around and gazed at the somewhat translucent giant beast.

“Is this the aquatic beast born from the dragon Qi of that Dragon Vein?” Zhou Yuan observed the heavily injured creature that was still desperately struggling.

It was a bout a hundred feet long, and Zhou Yuan estimated its strength to be at the first layer Alpha-Origin.

However, Zhou Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw its eyes, because he realised that it was staring at him with extreme desire, still continuously opening its mouth to bite at him, as if itching to swallow him.

“Aren’t these aquatic beasts not suppose to have any intelligence, and move according to instinct?” Zhou Yuan was quite puzzled, but the greed and desire in the aquatic creature’s eyes was just too clear.

Was its instincts really telling it to eat him? He had never heard senior brother Zhou Tai mention anything like this.

Zhou Yuan frowned, but could not be bothered to put too much thought into it. His hand grasped around the Heavenly Yuan Brush as Genesis Qi spouted out from his body.

Boom!

The hundred foot long body instantly exploded, a shockwave sweeping outwards as golden light begin to rise.

Zhou Yuan caught the golden light, and it transformed into a golden crystal in his hand. It was the same Genesis Dragon Essence crystal as earlier, but appeared thicker and more sturdier than the previous one, while the drop of Dragon Genesis Essence within was also a little more concentrated.

After keeping it, Zhou Yuan did not linger any further, turning his body to continue his search.

It was not long before he stopped once again, because he had seen the water to his front rippling as giant aquatic beast after beast slowly appeared, surrounding him.

Zhou Yuan’s frown grew even deeper.

It was not because of the number of aquatic beasts, but because he had discovered that all of their translucent beast eyes were filled with intense desire and greedy as they stared at him.

Exactly the same as the one from before.

“Something’s not right…”

Mumbled Zhou Yuan.
