Lin Qiye looked around, his eyes swept across everyone's face, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to know what is hidden under the water?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Of course!"

"Is there any need to ask? Didn't we come all this way here just to find out?"

"Brother Qiye is wise! With you leading the way, what do we have to fear?"

For a moment, shouts were heard everywhere and morale was boosted.

Lin Qiye smiled knowingly when he heard this.

He turned to face the pond, slowly drew out the black gold ancient knife from his waist, and played with it in his hand for a few times.

The blade was as black as ink, extremely sharp, and exuded a murderous aura.

"Nice knife." He murmured in admiration, then his eyes became stern and he shouted, "Everyone be careful, I'll go down first to explore the way. If you see anything unusual on the water surface, pull me up immediately, understand?"

After saying that, he jumped without looking back and dived straight into the dark pool of water, splashing water.

"Qi Ye!" Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian screamed at the same time, so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Although Wang Xingxing and Na Jie were also terrified, they managed to keep their composure and quickly comforted them: "Don't be afraid, Qiye knows what will happen. You two wait here, and everyone takes turns to look out. If there is any movement on the water, call for help immediately!"

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the depths of the pool, making the people on the shore feel numb.

Immediately afterwards, the water in the pond began to surge wildly, and a black gas rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

What happened at the bottom of the pond?!
[Oh my god, Inspector Lin is really risking his life! Going down alone to deal with countless monsters and demons, isn't this courting death?]

[That’s right! At least bring a few more people with you, so that if they get into danger, there will be someone to take care of them!]

[What the hell! With Cheng Long and Wu Jing being just show-offs, wouldn't they just cause more trouble? Inspector Lin is a real talent, and he can easily deal with a mere demon, right?]

[That's true. Inspector Lin has the Qilin bloodline to protect him, and he has the ancient black gold sword in his hand. I'm afraid these little monsters can't really hurt him!]

[But the roar in the pool is too scary, isn't it? I think it's a bit difficult to do it by myself!]

[You're forcing me! When has Inspector Lin ever been afraid of this? Didn't you see that before he went down into the pond, he specifically instructed us to pull him out? It's obvious that he was absolutely sure!]

[That’s right! Besides, didn’t he draw several amulets? With that thing protecting him, what demons and monsters dare to get close to him?]

[Speaking of talismans, I would like to ask, what was that golden shield just now? Could it be that Inspector Lin can cast spells?]

[Nonsense! He is a Taoist master, of course he knows how to cast spells to protect himself! Didn’t you see him just chant a spell and block the poisonous fog and venom immediately? If it were you, you would have been wiped out long ago!]

The crowd was talking about Lin Qiye's move to the pond, praising his strength and courage, and were full of curiosity and anticipation for what would happen next.

At this time, Lin Qiye, who was underwater, was diving towards the deeper and darker bottom of the pool.

The freezing cold water enveloped his body, as if freezing his blood.

It was pitch black all around and I couldn't see my fingers.

If he hadn't drawn a night vision charm on his eyelids in advance, he wouldn't even be able to see the road ahead.

Lin Qiye held his breath and tried his best to distinguish the sounds coming from all directions.

Soon, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared not far ahead.

It is huge, more than ten meters high, and stands in the water like a small mountain.

Looking at the outline, it looks like a super giant scorpion!
It was pitch black all over, and its back was covered with terrifying thorns, each of which was extremely sharp and emitted a chilling chill.

The most terrifying thing was the pair of blood-red compound eyes, which were as big as plates. They were staring at Lin Qiye intently, flashing with greedy and ferocious light!
Lin Qiye's heart trembled, and he secretly thought that something was wrong.

Although he expected that there must be something strange at the bottom of the pond, he never expected that there would be such a ferocious beast lurking!
Moreover, based on his experience, this giant scorpion is by no means comparable to any ordinary monster.

It was too big, its skin was too hard, and even its pupils gave off an unusual aura.

What's more, it can remain safe and sound underwater!

"hiss--"

While he was thinking, the giant scorpion suddenly opened its huge claws and slapped Lin Qiye on the head!
The sharp claw blade cut through the water, bringing up a string of bubbles that came straight to Lin Qiye's face!
Lin Qiye reacted incredibly quickly, diving to the side and barely avoiding the fatal blow.

At the same time, the ancient black-gold sword in his hand trembled, the blade flashed, and slashed towards the giant scorpion!
"when--"

There was a loud bang, and Lin Qiye's arms went numb.

However, he chopped at the giant scorpion's claws, but couldn't hurt its fur at all!
Obviously, this huge creature has thick skin and tough flesh, and is difficult to be hurt by swords and knives.

Lin Qiye was secretly shocked and had to retreat repeatedly, defending while thinking of countermeasures.

In this split second, the giant scorpion pounced again, opened its bloody mouth, and bit Lin Qiye fiercely!
Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Lin Qiye was about to gather his internal strength to withstand the attack.

Unexpectedly, the Qilin blood in his body suddenly heated up, and a pure yang energy rose from his dantian and flowed through his meridians throughout his body.

The power was so great that it was several times greater than his own internal strength!
Lin Qiye was confused for a moment, he just felt his whole body filled with a power he had never experienced before.

He subconsciously punched out, hitting the giant scorpion right in the face!
"boom--"

The sound was as deafening as a landslide!
Lin Qiye's punch actually made the giant scorpion retreat repeatedly, staggering!
Obviously, the power boost brought by the Qilin bloodline is far beyond what this monster can resist!
However, the giant scorpion was no ordinary creature. It quickly stabilized its body, let out an angry roar, and pounced towards Lin Qiye again.

It opened its bloody mouth, two rows of sharp fangs flashed cold light, and its bright red tongue spit out venom like a poisonous snake.

If I take a bite like this, I'm afraid even the bones will be chewed into pieces!
Lin Qiye sneered, took a deep breath, and clenched the black gold ancient knife with both hands, stabbing the giant scorpion fiercely!
"Pfft!"

The blade sank into the scorpion's body, and black blood splattered.

The giant scorpion let out a shrill howl, and its huge body twisted wildly in the water, stirring up whirlpools.

It tried desperately to shake off Lin Qiye's attack, but the wound became bigger and bigger, and the blood flowed more and more.

Soon, the entire pond was dyed dark red and smelled fishy.

But Lin Qiye remained calm, gritted his teeth, and poured all his strength into the knife, splitting the giant scorpion in half! (End of this chapter)
