Chapter 665: Chapter 666 The Eye of Demon Emperor! (Congratulations to the ’Abyss Moon Night’ Alliance Hierarch! 1/11)

As soon as Chu You finished speaking, he extended his hand towards the spaceship and emitted a radiant aura. Ten seconds later, the spaceship was packed away in the spatial backpack.

"Zero, are you afraid of swimming underwater?" A hint of amusement flashed on Chu You’s face.

Dantai Jingning shook her head with a smile. Regrettably, the others couldn’t see it. "I’ve never done it, but if you’re with me, I’m not afraid."

"Mhm, there’s nothing to fear when I’m around." After speaking, Chu You turned and headed straight towards the unseeable end of the river cave. Immediately after, Dantai Jingning and the Holy Angel Chief followed him.

Soon, the freezing river water had reached their knees. A bone-chilling coldness spread.

"Hss..." Chu You made a noise, but he was faring better than the others. His resistance to various attributes was relatively high, so he kept walking forward.

"Wow~" Behind him, a surprised exclamation came from Dantai Jingning. It seemed she was a bit shocked.

"Can you bear with it?" He asked.

"Yea, I can." At that moment, Dantai Jingning was alarmed to discover her teeth chattering involuntarily.

However, the Holy Angel Chief didn’t utter a single sound. He silently walked at the very back.

Even though the lower ends of Chu You’s Six-pointed Wings were submerged in the water, they still felt as gentle as ever, without the slightest hint of stickiness. Submerged parts of his wings were still emanating a faint light, which looked even more brilliant and exquisite in the water.

The Holy Angel Chief’s divine staff was still shedding light, illuminating the surroundings. The walls on both sides were still engraved with ghost symbols.

At this moment, Chu You felt a sensation in his heart. He released his telekinetic power very carefully, releasing just a small portion and controlling it meticulously. He didn’t project it outward; instead, he guided his telekinetic power inwardly in an attempt to shield his body from the chilling sensation of the water.

After a while, a smile appeared on Chu You’s face. He had succeeded!

Even though he hadn’t completely negated the sensation, he felt much more comfortable than before.

However, he discontinued his telepathic abilities because he would have to consistently keep releasing telekinetic power for it to offer continuous protection. Even though the amount might be small, it becomes significant over time.

A while after, the river water had reached their chests. Simultaneously, the overhead height was decreasing as they went deeper. Now, they could touch the top if they reached out with their hands.

It looked as if they had reached a dead end. If they wanted to go deeper, they would have to dive underwater. Chu You admired the players of the previous world who discovered the cave heaven here.

Chu You looked back at Dantai Jingning and the Holy Angel Chief, "We’ve to dive underwater now. Take a deep breath; the path isn’t very long."

"Okay."

After taking a few more steps, Chu You suddenly took a deep breath and plunged underwater. As he dove in, a mountain wall appeared before him. It seemed they couldn’t walk anymore and had to dive.

Dantai Jingning also took a deep breath and dipped into the water. Last of all, so did the Holy Angel Chief.

To not obstruct Dantai Jingning behind him, Chu You fetched a Divine Fire Candle from his bag. It could light up the way in water and looked very peculiar.

The yellow candlelight clearly illuminated the waterway. The water here was extremely clear, there were no aquatic creatures to be seen. To an uninformed person, it would appear to be a normal path.

Bubbles began to surface from Chu You’s mouth. The Divine Fire Candlelight could only illuminate up to 10 meters ahead; anything beyond that was pitch black. The rock above them and the waterway were getting narrower.

They saw not a single fish around them.

As they swam along, Chu You and Dantai Jingning started to experience discomfort due to the lack of air. This discomfort gradually intensified. When their bodies began to struggle and their chests felt heavy due to the lack of oxygen, the pain didn’t worsen; it simply lingered. That’s when the system prompted them.

System: You are unable to breathe. Your health is decreasing at a rate of 300 health points per second!

Although Chu You wasn’t bothered by this prompt, he was concerned about another issue. Thinking about it, he looked back at Dantai Jingning, who seemed just fine. Chu You was relieved.

Some players simply cannot adjust to this seemingly hopeless dead-end where they continuously suffer from the pain of suffocation. As time passes, they inevitably feel crushed, and their brain begins to blur. At that point, an option box would appear in the player’s line of sight, and it would persist as long as the player didn’t make a choice.

The option box allows players who are unable to endure the incessant torment to teleport back to town. However, doing so entails paying the price of a player’s death!

Luckily, 33 seconds later, Chu You surfaced. Above them, there were no rocks anymore. Dantai Jingning and the Holy Angel Chief also floated up. They both had lost nearly 10,000 health points. Fortunately, Dantai Jingning had leveled up to level 64. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to make it through this stretch.

As soon as both of them resurfaced, the roaring sound of a waterfall sent powerful vibrations through their eardrums.

It was evident that the two of them were at the edge of the waterfall inside the structure of the underground river!

At the same time, a system notification appeared.

System: You have arrived at The Eye of Demon Emperor!

"Sir!" At this moment, Dantai Jingning couldn’t suppress the fear in her heart any longer and cried out in panic.

Just thinking that beside her was a dark waterfall where falling down would completely annihilate anyone, Dantai Jingning was terrified. Although it was a game, it felt extremely real.

"Don’t panic, I’ve got you. Stay with me and swim across."

The holy angelic chief’s magic staff then lit up the place, revealing that ahead was a giant stone partially submerged in the river. However, it wasn’t submerged too deeply, allowing a person to stand on it.

Thus, the three of them took turns standing on the rock, with the river only reaching their shins, and they didn’t feel any resistance.

Dantai Jingning looked uncomfortable, somewhat withdrawn, but their hands remained clasped together.

So what did the place actually look like?!

The space was only the size of a basketball court, surrounded entirely by rocky mountain walls.

Where the three of them were standing was a crescent-shaped giant stone, which blocked off the exit they just came up from, preventing players from being directly washed away.

In front of the three of them wasn’t actually a waterfall!

It was a place shaped like a pond.

The reason for the loud sound of a giant waterfall was because there were three large holes in front of the pond!

The underground river water continuously poured into these holes, but never managed to fill them up!

Because of this, there was this heart-shaking noise.

"Zero, replenish your health to full."

"Sure." So, Dantai Jingning took a potion.

"Sir, what is that? What are we going to do?" asked Dantai Jingning, looking at the frightening holes.

"Those are the passages that allow us to enter the strange land. I’ll tell you this, the real BOSS of this Sacred Mountain in the Demon Kingdom is inside that middle hole!"

"As for these two holes next to it..." As Chu You glanced at the hole to his left, a strange glint flashed across his eyes.

Because he, Chu You, has never entered that hole in his past life!

Why?

That was because in his past life, to reach the current location you had to pay an entrance fee, and still needed good relations with the local power’s administrator to reach here. Otherwise, you couldn’t even enter the outer river cave!

Before entering, he was explicitly warned not to go into the hole on the left, and after arriving here, he was similarly cautioned not to venture into that hole on the left. As for the consequences, they need no further explanation.

Now, however, I’m going to see what secrets this hole is hiding!

Chu You suddenly looked up. In the center of the cliff above, there was a giant carved pattern, which was complex and profound.

The first impression it gave was, this was an eye!

The Eye of Demon Emperor, Demon Soul never extinguishes, Devil Seed forever transmits!
