Chapter 1754 - 1749: Gains at the Bottom of the Pool

Soon, Xiaobei heard her very shy and soft whisper, "I’m going to take a shower first. Be sure to come later, okay?"

After listening, Xiaobei was prepared to say something, but she ran away directly.

Watching her distant figure, Xiaobei’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Honestly, Xiaobei’s ears were just good enough, otherwise, it’s really hard to hear what she said just now.

"Since she’s waiting for me in the room, I definitely mustn’t be late later!"

Quickly muttering to himself, Xiaobei rushed towards the deep pool he had explored before.

Meanwhile, after Xiaobei left, a bashful Lin Ya returned.

Seeing the place empty, she murmured to herself, "Brother Xiaobei, I hope you come as promised later! Otherwise, I’ll risk everything to rescue you in the deep pool."

After saying this, she turned back to her room.

She knew she had many things to do before Xiaobei’s return.

...

"Feels like my body has gained some resistance this time!"

After several twists and turns, Xiaobei returned again to the deep pool exuding cold air.

The last time he came here, Xiaobei felt a chill all over his body. Now, Xiaobei still felt that chill, but it was much lighter than before.

Xiaobei knew this might be because his body developed resistance to it.

It’s actually like this...

Last time’s deep dive made Nine Wood True Qi slightly mutate, naturally increasing the resistance to cold significantly.

Rubbing his hands, Xiaobei took a deep breath. He didn’t rush to dive in directly but looked around carefully.

"Got it!"

Muttering to himself, Xiaobei walked to a corner in front, and soon, Xiaobei picked up a jagged stone.

After weighing it slightly, Xiaobei muttered somewhat disappointedly.

"It’s still a bit light!"

At this moment, if anyone heard Xiaobei’s frustrated complaint, they would be speechless.

Because the stone Xiaobei picked up weighed over two hundred pounds.

After running around the deep pool a few laps, Xiaobei looked at it again, then quickly jumped in.

As he entered the water, Xiaobei held the stone tightly in his arms.

Very soon, Xiaobei sank quickly again, and due to the stone, Xiaobei’s speed of sinking was more than twice as fast as before.

This rapid speed made Xiaobei happy but also more tense.

Because this quick descent left him with less time to adapt to the surroundings...

To avoid accidents, Xiaobei accelerated the rotation speed of Nine Wood True Qi significantly.

With the increase in rotation speed, Xiaobei easily blocked all the cold from his body.

This isolation reduced a lot of pressure for Xiaobei, but simultaneously, it accelerated the consumption of Nine Wood True Qi within Xiaobei much faster.

This consumption rate, more than doubled, made Xiaobei clear that he couldn’t last long here, so he tried to leave quickly...

"Reached the previous location!"

Two breaths later, Xiaobei reached the spot he had been to before.

He knew the next places were yet to be explored.

"Time to be cautious!"

Muttering to himself, Xiaobei’s body continued sinking quickly.

Two minutes later, Xiaobei felt the surrounding space becoming larger and larger.

"Is this the bottom?"

Feeling the changes around him, Xiaobei’s eyes flashed with excitement...

Soon, Xiaobei became more thrilled because he really saw the bottom of the deep pool not far ahead.

"Damn, if it weren’t for the stone, I wouldn’t have had a chance to reach here this time!"

With his feet firmly planted on the bottom, Xiaobei secretly felt grateful.

He knew it was thanks to the stone’s help; otherwise, it would have taken much longer to get here.

In fact, he wouldn’t have reached here before Nine Wood True Qi was exhausted.

After feeling thankful, Xiaobei tossed the stone aside, then squinted his eyes to carefully examine the area.

The water surface of this deep pool was only about ten square meters, but its area exceeded a thousand square meters, making Xiaobei truly admire nature’s craftsmanship!

Admiring, Xiaobei looked into the distance and saw a large forest.

Approaching, Xiaobei discovered all the trees here had died.

"If I guess right, they probably grew here before, later buried deep due to crustal movements."

While speaking, Xiaobei carefully touched them briefly.

After touching, Xiaobei focused on one, took a deep breath, and raised his hand to punch the completely frozen trunk.

Unmoved!

After punching, Xiaobei found it completely unmoved.

Such a situation didn’t surprise Xiaobei too much...

If it could be easily broken, it wouldn’t be suitable for crafting small boats used for crossing the lake and array.

Exactly!

This is what Xiaobei was searching for, to repair that damaged small boat.

This type of wood is called Submerged Pine, particularly sturdy wood.

Generally, its growth rate is very slow.

However, once matured, its strength is considerable, making it a vital strategic material throughout history.

Previously, when boarding the dilapidated boat with Lin Ya, Xiaobei recognized it was entirely made from Submerged Pine, realizing its significance for Lin Ya and others.

Thus, since earlier, Xiaobei has wanted to do everything possible to repair it.

...

"If it were alive, it would be trickier, but it’s already dead now, so its toughness is compromised!"

Glancing at its unmoved form, Xiaobei threw another punch without hesitation. This time, it trembled slightly.

"There’s hope!"

Eyes lighting up, Xiaobei continued quickly...

Two minutes later, with a crack, one of the Submerged Pines began to tilt.

Knowing it was a success, Xiaobei quickly grabbed it, heading straight for the surface...

Xiaobei knew the buoyancy of Submerged Pine was actually decent, so dragging it from here wasn’t too difficult.

Three minutes later, the deep pool’s water began to churn.

If anyone were here, they’d surely be startled, because with its frenzied churning, the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped...
