A Top Scholar in Everything
Chapter 643 641: The Gift of Flint
Baiyu stared intently at the two "red lanterns" floating in mid-air ahead of him.
Clearly, these were the eyes of an unknown creature, judging by the size of its eyes alone, the creature was estimated to be larger than the biggest cargo truck.
The light provided by the Mechanical Armament could only illuminate a small area around Baiyu in this incredibly dark environment.
This weak light only allowed him to see a small part of the Exotic Beast's body.
That was a claw.
With four fingers and palms, covered with scales like fish scales, layer upon layer.
Baiyu made a rough judgment.
Even bullets fired with the destructive power of Shark Bite would definitely not penetrate such a thick keratin layer.
In other words.
The opponent's body could withstand the destructive power of the Extraordinary Pistol.
With Baiyu's current Tier Five Peak level, he estimated he was merely a nutritious, and blood qi-rich snack.
Now Baiyu finally realized.
In such an environment, emitting light was a foolish thing to do.
Like a firefly in the Black Night, providing a clear location indication to all predators.
These creatures living in the dark, with deteriorated eyesight, were definitely very sensitive and stimulated by light, Baiyu emitting light might be interpreted as provocation.
But at this moment, there was no concern about provoking or not provoking.
A violent sense of crisis surged in Baiyu's heart, and he quickly rolled toward the wall on his left.
Bang.
Just as his body left the original spot, a giant foot stomped on the place he was just a second ago, pressing out a huge pit.
All of a sudden.
The mountain rocks in the cave shook, with constantly falling rocks and flying sand seeping from above, as if it were about to collapse.
"Roar!"
After missing an attack, the monster let out an angry howl.
Baiyu's face slightly changed.
Without thinking, he frantically advanced along the riverbank of the underground dark river toward the depth of the cave.
This was now.
He couldn't care less about whether his direction was correct.
The monster behind him pursued desperately, as if determined not to rest until it swallowed Baiyu whole.
Baiyu dared not pause.
The Forbidden Armament's full speed barely shook off that unknown Exotic Beast.
Also, Baiyu was naturally disadvantaged in the dark, having difficulty recognizing the environment and terrain, otherwise, he'd have collided with this guy.
Rumble...
As he continued forward, the sound of water grew louder, with mist gradually floating in the air.
A staggered waterfall lay ahead.
Listening to the piercing roar of the water flow, Baiyu glanced again at the huge, relentless beast pursuing behind him.
A period of time had passed.
From initially one monster, there were now three, each enormous, difficult to see clearly in the dark.
These things were surprisingly social animals.
It's impossible to retreat now.
Facing even one monster, Baiyu felt he might be directly eaten, let alone now with the whole family here.
He gritted his teeth.
Facing the waterfall, he leaped directly down.
The Forbidden Armament explosively provided powerful cushioning force in the air, allowing him to land steadily in the water, the waterfall measuring about twenty meters high.
Jumping from such a height.
Even without wearing the Forbidden Armament, Baiyu's Tier Five Martial Artist capabilities would prevent injury.
Activating the cushioning airflow.
Just to ensure he remained combat-ready, so as not to lose control upon hitting the water.
After all, he didn't know what was beneath the water.
Imagine a giant mutant fish opening its mouth, waiting to ambush him, he would surely be doomed in such a situation while losing balance.
Stably entering the water.
The three Exotic Beasts above the waterfall roared continually, but did not jump down, clearly unable to handle the water.
This is good news.
At least now Baiyu did not have to worry about being chased to death by them.
Who knows what these Exotic Beasts eat in the cave, likely fishing every day to survive...
After a while.
Baiyu restored some Blood Qi, then began searching for an exit.
Although Ore was speaking all the time due to the rush earlier, Baiyu hadn't paid attention.
Finally, he had time now.
"Hey, kid, say something."
"Did you encounter the Fierce Beast, just run, the Fierce Beast isn't something you can resist now."
"Hey? Hey? Don't die, as soon as you find yourself in a situation beyond your capabilities, retreat immediately, no need to sacrifice your life further."
In his ears.
Ore's voice constantly sounded, like murmurs.
Baiyu took a breath, emerged from the water, and responded with Spirituality: "I'm fine. I just jumped down from a waterfall about twenty meters high, now I'm in a pool, there are small tributaries all around, which way should I go?"
Upon hearing Baiyu's response.
Ore breathed a sigh of relief, excitedly said: "Below, I am here under the pool."
Baiyu paused momentarily, surprised to find Ore at the bottom of the pool.
Nonetheless.
With the support of strong blood qi and the assistance of the Forbidden Armament, he moved freely in the water.
After diving fully underwater.
Soon.
Baiyu reached the pool bottom, where a concentric circle pattern was carved, with characters he didn't recognize on it.
"There are three circles, follow my instructions, first move the small figure on the central circle to the twelve o'clock position.
Then move the second circle…"
Ore explained in great detail.
In no time.
Baiyu completed the splicing and rotation of the three circles, then, the disk covered in moss, algae, and various unknown underwater plants emitted a warm glow, suddenly opening in the middle, revealing a large hole, bursting with powerful suction.
