Chapter 227: Poison-Toothed Trout and Platypus Salamander
Thinking that there might be external forces involved in the maintenance of the Underworld, Lin Yan looked at the lake again with a deeper gaze.
Lin Yan briefly counted that there were about 300 to 400 thick jade pillars on this lake. Every one of them was level with the lake, and it was unknown how deep they went.
Moreover, the distribution of each jade pillar was very regular, as if it formed a special formation that was evenly distributed in the entire lake.
This further proved that this underground world was man-made.
It’s time to leave. I can’t be too greedy. I’ve obtained so many White Jade Fire Lotuses. It’s enough…
At the very least, I can’t go back and forth here alone.
If there’s really something hidden in the Underworld, I should find more people to share the attention…”
He had already collected enough White Jade Fire Lotuses, about eight to nine hundred of them.
The other White Jade Fire Lotuses were either too far away and not convenient to pluck, or they were close to the gigantic Corpse Buddha Cockroach. Lin Yan didn’t dare to pluck them.
While busying himself for four to five days, he went back and forth almost day and night. With rhe support of his force and blood energy, he slept very little.
He was indeed a little tired now.
He first carefully sensed the distribution of the Underworld through his clones and found five very hidden remote corners. Then, he moved the White Jade Fire Lotuses to these places in batches.
Then, he used the Savage Flame to transform into a long digging saber and cut into the rock wall. He dug out a large deep rock and formed a storage cavity. He hid the White Jade Fire Lotuses inside and sealed it tightly with rocks.
The Savage Flame weapon was incomparably sharp. The rocks dug out were sealed without any traces. Even Lin Yan wouldn’t have been able to tell if he hadn’t made a hidden mark.
He was not strong enough. He would not be able to protect so many Black Grade Unusual Items if he took them out.
If he wanted to deal with them, he could only hand them over to the Demon Suppression Division through Liu Lanqing as a contribution in exchange for merit points.
However, with so many of them, if he handed them over directly, it would not show how precious the White Jade Fire Lotus was, even if it was a Jade Grade Unusual Item.
Therefore, Lin Yan only left a White Jade Fire Lotus in his hand. He hid the rest in the underground cave and prepared to bring the others into the underground world a few times before taking them out one by one.
After making such preparations, Lin Yan tore his clothes apart and only covered important parts. Then, he avoided most of the places where the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches gathered and quickly returned to the ground.
With the help of the things invented by the Qianyuan Academy, a large amount of poisonous fog was cleared in rhe underground crack near the underground waterway.
Lin Yan had just walked out of the poisonous fog when he acutely noticed that many people’s gazes were on him with the help of the Radiant Fire’s perception of the air.
Many people heaved a sigh of relief or revealed looks of disdain.
He’s out!
That’s great. He’s not dead!”
How did he become a beggar in these clothes?
He must have encountered danger and his clothes were torn apart!
‘He’s really gone crazy from thinking about Unusual Items! He actually dared to stay in that terrifying danger for so many days?”
What’s the use of hiding? I knew it. What can a mere Tough Realm take? Look, he came back empty-handed.”
That’s not entirely true. He might be hiding something.
His body is only so big. What can he hide?
Whispers kept entering Lin Yan’s ears along the airflow.
Lin Yan’s expression did not change. When he entered the camp, Liu Lanqing, who had heard the situation, had already walked out. Her expression was not good, probably because Ling Shuangxue, who was smiling faintly at the side was also there.
Seeing Lin Yan, Liu Lanqing heaved a sigh of relief. “You’re back? It’s good that you’re back.”
Lin Yan bowed to Liu Lanqing. “Issuer Liu…
He signaled with his eyes. Liu Lanqing understood and glanced at the surrounding people. There was a warning in her eyes as she said, “Follow me.
He brought Lin Yan all the way to the tent and Lin Yan entered. He did not expect Ling Shuangxue to follow him in.
Lin Yan looked at Ling Shuangxue quietly without saying anything.
Liu Lanqing’s expression was not good, but Ling Shuangxue still had a hidden smile on her face. She was like a mountain and had no intention of going out.
Liu Lanqing pressed between her eyebrows. “Forget it, Lin Yan. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
Since Liu Lanqing didn’t care, Lin Yan naturally didn’t say anything. He took out the White Jade Fire Lotus from his pocket.
The moment rhe White Jade Fire Lotus appeared, Liu Lanqing and Ling
Shuangxue’s eyes widened. “This is… a Black Grade Unusual Item!”
The two of them had seen many Unusual Items, so they naturally recognized its grade at a glance.
Liu Lanqing’s eyes lit up. “The lotus… was found in that lake?
Lin Yan nodded.
A trace of curiosity flashed across Ling Shuangxue’s eyes as she reached out to
Lin Yan. “Let me see.”
Lin Yan didn’t answer. Liu Lanqing snorted. “What do you want now?”
Are you afraid that I’ll snatch it by force? I just want to see what this Unusual
Item is.”
Lin Yan looked at Liu Lanqing. Liu Lanqing nodded, and Lin Yan handed it over.
Ling Shuangxue took the White Jade Fire Lotus and sized it up carefully. Moreover, the force on her fingers seemed to be constantly flowing in and out of the White Jade Fire Lotus.
The expression on her face became even more serious. “I’ve seen many lotus-shaped Unusual Items. This fire lotus looks like white jade, but there’s a gloomy poisonous aura inside. It also contains a burning power. It’s probably an Unusual Item with both poison and fire attributes.”
With that, she threw it back to Lin Yan.
So you’re so serious because it’s just a Black Grade Unusual Item of good quality. It s not a surprise.”
Liu Lanqing had gone underground to take a look. The lake stretched for an unknown range. If there was really a lotus flower, it was impossible for there to be only one!
She immediately asked, “How many more of these lotus flowers are there?
Lin Yan looked at Liu Lanqing and said solemnly, ‘A lot.
Ling Shuangxue smiled and said, “How many are a lot? Seven or eight stalks or more than ten stalks are not considered a lot.”
Lin Yan shook his head.
Ling Shuangxue was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious. Her eyes shone faintly. “There can’t be dozens of stalks, right? That’s a good harvest. Even if the various factions are scattered, each faction can obtain a few stalks.”
Lin Yan sighed and said, “In that lake, there are jade pillars. On the jade pillars, there are White Jade Fire Lotuses.”
His gaze was deep as he stared at the two beautiful women in front of him and said solemnly, “There are three to four hundred jade pillars. This White Jade Fire Lotus… i estimate that there are no less than a thousand!”
How many?!”
Even though Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue were experienced and knowledgeable, and were top-notch upper-class people in the prefecture capital, they instantly stood up at this moment. Even their voices were distorted.
After receiving Lin Yan’s affirmative answer, the two of them breathed even harder and their bodies trembled slightly.
The flames and cold air on their bodies subconsciously seeped out, causing intense steam to erupt in the tent.
This convinced Lin Yan that hiding rhe 800 to 900 Black Grade White Jade Fire Lotuses was definitely the right choice.
A thousand Black Grade Unusual Items…
A Black Grade Unusual Item is equivalent to about a hundred Yellow Grade Unusual Items.
A Jade Grade Unusual Item is equivalent to 200 Black Grade Unusual Items.
A thousand Black Grade Unusual Items! Isn’t that equivalent to five to six Jade Grade Unusual Items or a hundred thousand Yellow Grade Unusual Items?
This is… a monstrous amount of wealth!
Previously, the Demon Suppression Division had already found a huge harvest after collecting 20 to 30 Yellow Grade Unusual Items.
Now, there were thousands of Black Grade Unusual items waiting for them in the underground world!
At this moment, the barrier between Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue seemed to have disappeared. When they looked at each other, there was only deep shock and disbelief in their eyes. For a moment, they were speechless.
After a long time, the two of them took a deep breath and calmed themselves down. Only their cheeks were beautiful and red, shining brightly.
Lin Yan, you’ve made a contribution! You’ve made a great contribution! A shocking Great Merit!”
Instead of mentioning the thousand Black Grade Unusual Items, she said “Quick, tell me about the situation in the underground lake.”
Lin Yan explained the ecological relationship between the small Saber-Toothed Fish, the huge black fish, the Corpse Buddha Cockroach, and the White Jade Fire Lotus in the underground lake.
However, during the process, he naturally hid the fact that he was constantly plundering the White Jade Fire Lotus. He only said that he had found a way through the Corpse Buddha Cockroach Group through the Mud Fruit.
Then, he was blocked outside the water by the Saber-Toothed Fish, it was not until he worked hard to cultivate and raised his defensive martial arts technique to a higher level that he managed to pluck a White Jade Fire Lotus from a jade pillar closest to the shore after countless attempts.
As for the jade pillars that were deeper into the lake, he did not dare to go there again lest he was killed by the strange fish.
At this moment, Ling Shuangxue took our a pen and paper from somewhere and said indifferently, “Describe in detail the appearance of the Saber-Toothed Fish and the big black fish.”
Lin Yan briefly explained the characteristics of the two.
Ling Shuangxue quickly made two lifelike drawings on the paper. “Do they look like this?”
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise, “There’s not much difference. For example, the teeth of this strange fish are more curved and sharp. This big black fish is also fatter.”
That’s right… The scientific name of this Saber-Toothed Fish should be Poison-Toothed Trout. That big black fish is a marine creature called the Platypus Salamander.
“However, the Poison-Toothed Trout Trout isn’t as powerful as you say. Its strength lies in its poisonous teeth, which can inject poison.
Although the bite force is strong, it’s definitely not as strong as what you said. It cannot break the force of rhe Tough Realm with one bite.
As for the Platypus Salamander, it’s different from what you said. It’s a huge sea creature. It’s at least dozens of feet long.
Interesting, including the Corpse Buddha Cockroach. The creatures in rhe Underworld are actually similar to rhe few we know. But they have different characteristics…
However, the combination of the three actually formed a complete system of the entire underground world. Look at the rock strata underground. This system has been maintained for many years…
Lin Yan, you’ve been observing it for four days. What do you think of that world?”
Lin Yan was silent for a moment before saying, “The balance of the ecosystem is often built on the diversity of species.
It’s impossible to maintain an ecological balance for a long time in a closed system with just four creatures.
Unless…
Ling Shuangxue narrowed her eyes slightly. “Ecosystem? Ecological balance? These two words are quite interesting. 1 didn’t expect you to have such a unique understanding even though you came from a lower city…”
Lin Yan said calmly, “Teacher Ling, you’re also a scholar of ancient culture, but you know all kinds of creatures like the back of your hand.”
Ling Shuangxue smiled faintly. “You just said, unless what?
Lin Yan said in a low voice, “Unless an external force keeps intervening and adjusting the balance of the entire Underworld!”
Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue’s pupils constricted slightly. “Do you have any evidence?”
Lin Yan shook his head. “No. In that underground lake, I didn’t find any evidence of man-made or artificial objects, or outsiders.”
The two of them were silent, but there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.
That’s right. We originally thought that this ruin was rhe ruin of the Ancient Fan Nation.
But now, in such a deep underground and such a huge underground world, we haven’t found anything related to the Ancient Fan Nation.
Where… is the Ancient Fan Nation?

He only said that he had found a way through the Corpse Buddha Cockroach Group through the Mud Fruit.Then, he was blocked outside the water by the Saber-Toothed Fish, it was not until he worked hard to cultivate and raised his defensive martial arts technique to a higher level that he managed to pluck a White Jade Fire Lotus from a jade pillar closest to the shore after countless attempts.As for the jade pillars that were deeper into the lake, he did not dare to go there again lest he was killed by the strange fish.At this moment, Ling Shuangxue took our a pen and paper from somewhere and said indifferently, Describe in detail the appearance of the Saber-Toothed Fish and the big black fish.Lin Yan briefly explained the characteristics of the two.Ling Shuangxue quickly made two lifelike drawings on the paper. Do they look like this?Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in surprise, There's not much difference. For example, the teeth of this strange fish are more curved and sharp. This big black fish is also fatter.That's right The scientific name of this Saber-Toothed Fish should be Poison-Toothed Trout. That big black fish is a marine creature called the Platypus Salamander.However, the Poison-Toothed Trout Trout isn't as powerful as you say. Its strength lies in its poisonous teeth, which can inject poison.Although the bite force is strong, it's definitely not as strong as what you said. It cannot break the force of rhe Tough Realm with one bite.As for the Platypus Salamander, it's different from what you said. It's a huge sea creature. It's at least dozens of feet long.Interesting, including the Corpse Buddha Cockroach. The creatures in rhe Underworld are actually similar to rhe few we know. But they have different characteristicsHowever, the combination of the three actually formed a complete system of the entire underground world. Look at the rock strata underground. This system has been maintained for many yearsLin Yan, you've been observing it for four days. What do you think of that world?Lin Yan was silent for a moment before saying, The balance of the ecosystem is often built on the diversity of species.It's impossible to maintain an ecological balance for a long time in a closed system with just four creatures.UnlessLing Shuangxue narrowed her eyes slightly. Ecosystem? Ecological balance? These two words are quite interesting. 1 didn't expect you to have such a unique understanding even though you came from a lower cityLin Yan said calmly, Teacher Ling, you're also a scholar of ancient culture, but you know all kinds of creatures like the back of your hand.Ling Shuangxue smiled faintly. You just said, unless what?Lin Yan said in a low voice, Unless an external force keeps intervening and adjusting the balance of the entire Underworld!Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue's pupils constricted slightly. Do you have any evidence?Lin Yan shook his head. No. In that underground lake, I didn't find any evidence of man-made or artificial objects, or outsiders.The two of them were silent, but there was an inexplicable look in their eyes.That's right. We originally thought that this ruin was rhe ruin of the Ancient Fan Nation.But now, in such a deep underground and such a huge underground world, we haven't found anything related to the Ancient Fan Nation.Where is the Ancient Fan Nation?
