Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Yang Ling's expression was solemn.

The effect of the Water-Avoiding Pill was now taking hold.

He suddenly felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up. Even without using his mouth or nose, his pores could breathe.

"This feeling... it's incredible."

Yang Ling's heart stirred.

At that moment, the Fourth Prince said with a faint smile:

"Everyone, let's set out."

Lu Yunchen immediately barked:

Yang Ling and Yun Ruo, upon hearing this, immediately leaped into the water.

Li Huaiyi and the others' expressions shifted slightly.

It seemed that the protection this time was to be led by Yang Ling and Yun Ruo.

After entering the water, Yang Ling immediately checked his surroundings.

Yun Ruo did the same.

Seeing no danger nearby, the two surfaced to report.

Seeing this, the Fourth Prince also jumped into the water.

Then came the other Seventh-Rank talents of the Ironclad Department.

Only then did Jie Hai and his ilk start ordering their disciples into the water.

Yang Ling and Yun Ruo were already escorting the Fourth Prince as they dove into deeper water.

Under the effect of the Water-Avoiding Pill, Yang Ling felt like he was breathing constantly, with no shortage of air.

At the same time, even after diving about ten meters, he didn't feel much water pressure.

"Incredible. In the real world, without professional equipment and training, there's no way to do this."

"At best, I was just an ordinary person who could swim. Now, I'm a top-tier diver."

Yang Ling suddenly turned his head and scanned the surroundings.

He saw hundreds of figures frantically diving into the deep water.

The scene was quite spectacular.

Then he observed Lin Caiyi and the others. Seeing that they were still in decent shape, he refocused his attention on himself and the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince, expressionless and with a firm gaze, was continuously diving deeper.

Yang Ling and Yun Ruo followed closely at his sides.

Then came Li Huaiyi and other Ironclad Department experts, packing the area around them tightly.

They wouldn't allow martial artists from other sects to get close.

As the depth increased, the underwater world grew darker and darker.

Eventually, the light vanished completely, and the surrounding environment turned pitch black.

Yang Ling's heart began to pound wildly. It took him several seconds to calm down.

This feeling was too unique. He couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.

A pitch-black environment. A world without sound.

This was his first time experiencing such an environment.

Fortunately, by relying on the nearby water currents, he could clearly sense the presence of the Fourth Prince, Yun Ruo, and the others.

"This perception is this strong even underwater."

Yang Ling secretly rejoiced, knowing that the path he had chosen was absolutely right.

At that moment, he felt that some nearby water currents were different from before. Based on the fluctuations of the current, an image formed in his mind.

The image showed some martial artists having panicked reactions upon first entering this environment.

Some quickly calmed down. Others grew more and more flustered, some even afraid to dive deeper.

Then, the water fluctuations nearest to him also began to become uneven.

Yang Ling's mind moved. He immediately swam a short distance in that direction and grabbed Yun Ruo's arm.

At first, Yun Ruo's arm instinctively tried to break free, but Yang Ling quickly wrote a few words on her palm.

Neither of them could see each other, but Yang Ling could clearly feel Yun Ruo trembling continuously. After he finished writing, she finally began to calm down a little.

As the group continued to dive, the pitch-black environment suddenly changed.

A faint blue light could be seen seeping from the depths.

Yang Ling felt Yun Ruo's hand gradually returning to calm, so he let go.

Yun Ruo, without changing her expression, glanced toward Yang Ling, then at the Fourth Prince and the others. Seeing that no one else had noticed, she let out a clear sigh of relief.

Soon, everyone had descended to the blue light. This was the passage leading to the Water Qilin Cave.

Although the light now wasn't as bright as daylight, it gave the illusion of moonlight spilling across the ground.

Everything nearby became clearly visible.

Many martial artists finally breathed a real sigh of relief at this moment.

Only a very few among them had experienced something similar before.

Even the most experienced martial artists had felt some panic while passing through that pitch-black stretch.

Speaking underwater was impossible.

So the Fourth Prince made a gesture to everyone and swam into the passage.

Yang Ling suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head and carefully looked around, only to find that Jiang Tian'ai and Zhang Shendao were nowhere nearby.

His expression changed. He immediately gestured to Lin Caiyi and Li Shou.

They, too, noticed something was wrong. Looking around frantically, they couldn't find Zhang Shendao or Jiang Tian'ai, and a flash of panic appeared in their eyes.

At that moment, Yun Ruo noticed that Yang Ling hadn't followed. She swam over and tugged at his sleeve.

Yang Ling made a gesture to Yun Ruo, signaling her to follow the Fourth Prince first. Then he turned back and retraced his path.

Yun Ruo didn't know what had happened. Seeing Yang Ling act this way, a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

She instinctively wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, river water filled it, nearly choking her.

Her expression shifted several times. After giving Yang Ling's retreating figure a deep look, she quickly caught up with the main group.

Their mission was to protect the Fourth Prince. This matter couldn't be delayed.

Many martial artists noticed the commotion, but they ignored it, desperately swimming into the passage.

After Yun Ruo caught up with the Fourth Prince, he clearly made a questioning gesture.

Yun Ruo simply shook her head slightly.

Seeing that Yang Ling wasn't there, the Fourth Prince didn't say anything more.

Meanwhile, Yang Ling had already swum over to Lin Caiyi and Li Shou.

The three of them made some gestures but couldn't figure out what was going on.

After a moment of thought, Yang Ling pushed them both, signaling for them to follow the main group.

But Li Shou waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to go with Yang Ling to find Jiang Tian'ai and Zhang Shendao.

Yang Ling pointed his little finger downward, signaling that they couldn't. Then he gave each of them a kick and retraced his path.

Lin Caiyi's face showed a bitter smile. She and Li Shou exchanged a glance, then slowly swam toward the passage.

Before long, Yang Ling had left the area illuminated by blue light, and his surroundings plunged into pitch blackness again.

He calmed his mind and focused, sensing all the water fluctuations around him.

After about a few breaths, he caught a very faint fluctuation.

Yang Ling immediately swam in that direction.

The further he swam, the more intense the fluctuations became.

When he got close, he determined from the fluctuations that someone was indeed trapped there.

The cause of the trap was another fluctuation.

This fluctuation looked like a long, strip-like object.

Yang Ling's scalp suddenly went numb!

Then he felt another fluctuation, and an image formed in his mind.

It looked very much like two people wrapped up by a long, strip-like object, struggling with flailing arms and kicking legs.

But the strip-like object was extremely strong.

Yang Ling took a deep breath inside his mind. He pulled the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe from his waist and activated his full power.

In an instant, a burst of water exploded behind him, and his figure shot toward the fluctuation.

Without a second word, Yang Ling activated Frenzied State and began madly chopping.

During the process, he also touched the thing once. The slimy feeling was disgusting!

Fortunately, the Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Pickaxe seemed able to break through its defense.

With every chop, he gouged out a bloody hole.

The long, strip-like object immediately began thrashing wildly. Then it seemed to abandon its previous target and turned to attack Yang Ling.

By this point, Yang Ling had roughly judged its length and thickness.

"Eight or nine meters long, as thick as a thigh, slimy as hell... what the hell kind of monster is this?!"

Yang Ling didn't choose to flee. Instead, he became extremely calm and used the fluctuations to engage it in combat.

One strike. Another strike.

In a short time, Yang Ling had already chopped it over a hundred times.

Suddenly, he felt it stop moving...

Then, a cold aura flowed into his body.

Not much, but it was unmistakably Experience Points.

Only then did Yang Ling confirm that it was dead!
