Chapter 2480 - 1119: Thanks to Nature’s Gift! (Part 2)
The palace maids and guards accidentally entered a grand hall and would be beheaded?
No, it won’t happen.
Of course, Chaoyun Palace is the only place where outsiders aren’t allowed, but this palace maid sister once took advantage of a big clean-up opportunity to wander around here.
"What is each place used for?"
Lin Baici pondered, thinking that Wanshou Hall seemed more like the target.
"Wanshou Hall is where the king sleeps, and occasionally reads books!"
The palace maid sister was also a clever and sly woman; had Lin Baici encountered an idiot, asking would have been pointless: "Ganquan Palace is a place for the king to rest and meditate alone; when the king is tired of playing or has something on his mind, he goes to Ganquan Palace to stay!"
"Which of the two palaces seems suspicious to you?"
Just from the palace maid sister’s words, Lin Baici couldn’t determine the correct location.
"Hmm..."
The palace maid sister recalled: "Ganquan Palace maybe?"
"Palace maids have entered Wanshou Hall, but not Ganquan Palace!"
As the palace maid sister spoke, she suddenly remembered something: "Yes, I heard other maids say that when the king is in Ganquan Palace, he doesn’t need servants to attend to him; he’s always alone."
"Sister, you better find a place to hide!"
After Lin Baici finished speaking, he stepped past the door on the right and rushed inside.
Target: Ganquan Palace!
"Master..."
The palace maid sister called out once, seeing that Lin Baici didn’t turn back and just waved his hand, she bit her lip, stomped her foot, and followed.
With twists and turns, Lin Baici sprinted all the way, taking about five minutes to pass through a moon gate and into a back garden.
The garden was large, planted with all sorts of exotic and rare flowers, with the air filled with bird songs and fragrance, making it feel like a fairyland.
Lin Baici glanced around, his gaze landing on the lotus pond in the garden’s center.
Without approaching, from more than thirty meters away, he already felt a chill coming at him, cold enough to make him shiver.
The surface of the pond was shrouded in white frozen mist.
"It seems like a stagnant pool?"
Lin Baici quickly approached, carefully searching around, finding faint ripples emanating from underneath the rockery in the center of the lotus pond.
"Is there a spring under the rockery?"
The palace maid sister noticed it too.
Lin Baici didn’t say a word, jumped into the pond, swam beside the rockery, and then dived down.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
Bubbles emerged from Lin Baici’s mouth, rising upwards.
This water is so cold that even with Lin Baici’s physical fitness, he felt a numbing pain, definitely below minus one hundred degrees Celsius.
But, amazingly, the spring water hadn’t frozen, and the surrounding flowers hadn’t perished from the cold.
Lin Baici swam downwards, the light dimming with every meter; yet he didn’t despair because the hunger was intense and pointed downward, indicating he’d found the right place.
The light completely faded into darkness, pitch-black to the point of blindness.
Lin Baici held his breath and kept swimming down.
Too reckless!
He should have called White River Dolphin’s Tooth before diving.
Swimming up and then down would waste too much time now.
Lin Baici could only bet everything and move forward.
In front was complete darkness, not seeing a thing even with an outstretched hand.
"Hold on a little longer!"
"Lin Baici, hold on a little longer!"
"Everyone’s survival depends on you!"
"Think of your wonderful university days, think of Tea Sister, think of the counselor; would you be willing to die now?"
Lin Baici motivated himself and continued to dive.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared underwater.
With a renewed spirit, Lin Baici accelerated his dive.
Five meters!
Ten meters!
Twenty meters!
...
He saw it!
A golden coffin, tightly bound by nineteen chains of gold growing from the depths of the spring, floating in the water.
Lin Baici swam over, tugged at the golden chains, but they didn’t budge.
A bronze sword was strapped to his back, yet he didn’t try to chop the chains, believing it would likely not work.
Thankfully, Lin Baici had many tricks up his sleeve.
He wielded a Divine Grace named Shattering Gold and Breaking Jade, which had once been used to fatally attack the god Li Luoyou in a super arcade.
Lin Baici swam to the coffin, activated Shattering Gold and Breaking Jade, and bit into the chain.
Crunch! Crunch!
It actually worked?
Lin Baici heard the chain breaking, he immediately increased his strength and speed.
It took three whole minutes for Lin Baici to bite through the chains.
Three minutes may be short in real life, not even enough to measure body temperature, but over at the big bath, the kingly god might have already killed Dudek and Wang Sen.
Lin Baici tore off the chains from the coffin.
Good luck!
There weren’t any nails fixing the coffin lid, Lin Baici didn’t have time to pull it ashore, instead, he activated the Power of Hundred Horses underwater, prying off the coffin lid.
As soon as it opened a crack, freezing spring water flooded in.
The coffin lid was opened, revealing a fist-sized red flesh lump inside.
This mass of flesh is like a heart, still beating.
The flesh is uneven, with some vein-like blood vessels.
Lin Baici didn’t need to wonder whether this thing was the ’divine entity’s true form,’ because the Eater God spoke.
[Thank nature for the gift!]
[Let’s dig in!]
How to eat underwater?
Open your mouth and you’ll gulp down water!
Just as Lin Baici was about to swim up, a golden halo exploded from his body, pushing away the spring water around him, making him seem like he was inside a balloon.
Lin Baici no longer hesitated and began devouring the flesh!
...
The large bathhouse!
Boom!
The king’s shattered body crashed into the bath pool.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The bath water evaporated from the high temperature, all turning into scorching steam, filling the bathhouse.
"Is it dead?"
Wang Sen widened his eyes, staring at the bath pool.
Dudek was gasping heavily, frequently coughing and spitting blood, unable to answer.
"Is this your trump card?"
The king floated up from the bath pool, arms crossed, looking down at the two.
His injuries had quickly healed.
"To kill me once in such a short time, you are already formidable!"
The king praised.
"Wang... cough cough... Sen, it’s your turn to fight desperately!"
Dudek coughed.
He had a taboo thing that could resurrect once, and a Divine Grace that could perish together with the enemy!
His final trump card had been used but was dissolved!
Now, he was desperate but also calm!
Can’t win!
He fought desperately for so long, only to find he wasn’t facing the true form...
No wonder Lin Baici ran away!
He must have realized this early on!
Haha!
God Lin is indeed a genius!
With a person like him in Kyushu,
What great fortune!
"Don’t speak dejectedly, if you can kill him once, you can kill him a second time!"
Wang Sen encouraged.
"Do you believe in such words?"
Dudek replied with a bitter smile.
Wang Sen flinched, wanting to find an opportunity to escape.
But at this moment, the king’s previous cat-and-mouse, playful expression suddenly turned to shock.
It sensed its true form had been taken out of the coffin.
Damned,
Who is it?
Lin Baici’s figure suddenly intruded into the king’s mind.
Turns out he didn’t escape!
Brat,
You surprised me again!
The king had been killed by humans before, but because its true form was unharmed, it could always be resurrected, which is why the Dragon Level giants of Qin Shanwei couldn’t purify the Qin Palace Divine Ruins.
Facing a deity that could resurrect infinitely, no one could win.
But Lin Baici relied on the hunger radar to locate the true form of the Qin Palace deity.
Dudek keenly noticed the king’s change; it must be Lin Baici taking action.
"Wang Sen, set aside your little plans, this time, fight to the death for humanity’s future!"
After saying this, Dudek rushed toward the king.
No matter what Lin Baici is doing now, buying him time is the correct decision.
"Damn damn damn!"
Wang Sen yelled three times quickly.
Why should I sacrifice myself for humanity?
He wanted to run!
But after glancing at the gate, Wang Sen charged the king.
Not for humanity, but twenty-seven years of exploring the divine ruins taught him that delaying the deity and waiting for Lin Baici might still offer a sliver of hope!
Actually, Wang Sen couldn’t run either.
The deity intended to deal with them both first, then kill Lin Baici.
It absolutely wouldn’t allow any more unexpected occurrences.
As for why not immediately go to Ganquan Palace?
The confident and arrogant divine king didn’t believe Lin Baici could deal with its true form, but instead would be radiatively polluted and become a dead flesh man.
