Chapter 174 The Golden Pool (2/2)
Zhou Yuan was no samaritan, but merely wanted Zhen Xun in his camp. After all, Wu Huang had teamed up with the Dongxuan people, forming a rather alarming line-up. To match them, Zhou Yuan would have to recruit a few apex level geniuses to his side.
Such geniuses were definitely proud individuals, making it an uphill task to convince them. Hence, Zhou Yuan chose to work on them through kindness and benevolence, which was also one of the ways to win over others.
Zhen Xu was no fool, and naturally understood Zhou Yuan's intentions. Jiang Quan may have engaged underhanded tactics against Zhen Xu, but even without them, he would never let Jiang Quan off.
Hence, after some silence, Zhen Xu finally said, ”I will repay these debts in the future.”
Zhou Yuan waved his hand, before grinning at Tuntun. ”I'll be troubling you to lead the way.”
Tuntun seemed to sigh as if greatly pained by the act of sharing its beloved things. It powerlessly got up, and headed towards the top of the giant mountain.
The Zhou Yuan trio hurriedly followed.
Genesis Beasts would peer towards them from time to time, but none dared to show themselves due to Tuntun. In the end, Zhou Yuan and gang smoothly reached the mountain top.
The giant mountain top was akin to the mouth of a volcano, but it was instead filled with golden liquid, making it a pool of gold. Golden light blossomed as a faint, strange fragrance spread.
Zhou Yuan, Luluo and Zhen Xu gazed at the golden pool with desire. They could feel the Genesis Qi within their bodies grow lively.
”Is this the golden pool?” The trio drooled, their hearts beating faster as they gazed upon it.
Plop.
Tuntun was the first to jump in. It idled about on the surface, its eyes slightly shut as if was the best feeling in the world.
Zhou Yuan and the rest watched as strands of golden light from the rippling golden water began to pour into Tuntun's body.
”The blessing is already before us, how much we gain will depend on ourselves.” Zhou Yuan smiled at Luluo and Zhen Xu, before he also hopped in.
With Little Frost in her arms, Luluo's eyes glowed brightly, no hesitation whatsoever as she leaped in and began joyously cheering inside with Little Frost.
Zhen Xu's heart rippled for a brief moment, and swiftly followed suit.
Once Zhou Yuan was inside, he could feel a peculiar golden light endlessly rush towards him. The golden light poured into his body and was greedily devoured by his squirming flesh and blood.
Golden light fused into his blood, making it flow with greater gusto and force.
It fused into his muscles, making them stronger and filling them with explosive power.
It fused into his bones, making them harder and st.u.r.dier.
Golden light washed across his body, some of it eventually arriving at his Qi Dwelling. The dark gold Genesis Qi within also began to greedily absorb the light, rapidly growing more and more powerful.
As he felt his strength grow, Zhou Yuan fell into a kind of drunken stupor. His eyes were tightly shut, as if never intending to wake up ever again.
However, Zhou Yuan ultimately broke out from this state. He unhappily opened his eyes, only to see Tuntun licking his face.
”What the heck?” Zhou Yuan glared at it.
Tuntun tugged at Zhou Yuan's clothes with its mouth before sinking towards the bottom of the golden pool.
Zhou Yuan was taken aback. Did Tuntun want him to follow? Was there something at the bottom of the pool?
He hesitated for a moment, taking a glance at Luluo and Zhen Xu were. The two seemed to be sleeping in the golden pool, clearly drunk in the changes happening inside their bodies.
”I'll follow and take a look…”
Zhou Yuan thought for a bit, before decisively diving into the pool. He was rather curious; what exactly had captured Tuntun's interest.
