C171 (2/2)

He was watching. Lin Jin suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. He had originally thought that some hidden injury had not healed, but when his stomach growled, he knew that he was hungry.

He found a medicinal herb from the Cosmic Bag that didn't have too much medicinal properties, and was barely enough to eat. Lin Jin didn't even look at it as he threw it into his mouth and chomped down hard. He swallowed it.

With something in his stomach, his restless stomach immediately calmed down.

However, it would take time to digest the energy from his stomach to his body. He could not care about his still weak body as he slowly walked forward.

In the water, there were a few small fish and prawns that saw him walking forward. Perhaps it was because they had never felt the presence of any living creature from the outside world, or perhaps it was because they did not have any natural enemies.

They also began to chase and play behind him, occasionally bumping into his feet, causing him to feel a shiver.

Not long after, they arrived at the land in front of them.

It was still covered by a thin layer of sand, and there was some dirt on the sand. It was a little muddy and uncomfortable to walk on. However, it was much better than having the wound be soaked in water.

However, this was not the time to rest, even though this was already a piece of land that had surfaced. However, compared to the entire underground river, it was just a small sandbar. If he wanted to recover safely, he had to continue moving forward.

Waiting for the medicinal ingredients in his stomach to finish digesting, Lin Jin recovered some of his energy. Due to the topography, the water surface was deep and shallow.

The ground was also full of holes. There were few places that were even, but they were all overcome by his stamina and willpower.

When they were about three miles downstream, the ground finally began to move higher and higher. On both sides of the river, there were already many solid rocks, no longer sand.

Walking along these rocks, it was unknown whether it was due to good luck or some other reason. On the other side of the river. One of the rocks was connected, like a corridor by a river. Not like the ones I saw before.

It was scattered everywhere, and even if he wanted to climb up there to rest, he would have to expend a lot of effort.

Following the extension of the stone road, and after walking for another two to three kilometers, Lin Jin's current position had already reached a height of four to five meters above the water surface, and the stone road had also gradually become dry.

As he was walking, he suddenly felt a blur in his mind. He immediately understood that it was due to excessive mental energy consumption. Taking advantage of the last image he saw, he quickly found a slightly sunken stone wall and sat down to rest.

Not long after he sat down to eat two stinky medicinal plants, he felt his mind become confused. He didn't even have the thought of resisting as he fell into a deep slumber …

There were no days and nights underground, and unlike the mountain area outside, there weren't many kinds of insects and ferocious beasts. After getting tired, under the condition that he wasn't affected by external factors, he had a deep sleep, and when he woke up, he felt his spirit was at least as strong as an ordinary person's.

Only the zhenqi in the meridians, because it had no replenishment, was like a trickle that flowed unhurriedly through the various meridians in the body.

Once he sensed the zhenqi, Lin Jin suddenly thought back to why he did not set up a nameless fist to recover it. If he had done this earlier, he wouldn't have needed to use his strength to fight all the way in the darkness! He secretly cursed himself for calling himself an idiot, and carefully probed the boundaries of this stone road. In this pitch black darkness, he started to fight the nameless fist one move at a time.

He did not know why, but this set of nameless fist was actually more than a hundred times weaker than the one on the ground. The difference in strength between the two sets of Fire Spirit Land s was even less, and after half an hour, the small stream was still just a trickle. At least, under Lin Jin's mental observation, he did not feel that it had grown much.

According to the rate at which he was absorbing spirit energy, not only would he recover to his peak condition after opening the Large Circulation, he would even recover to his peak condition before the Large Circulation. It wouldn't even take three to four months.

As for the recovery of Spiritual Energy, although it was slightly easier compared to the zhenqi, it was still controlled by the abundance of the zhenqi in one's body. Based on the current situation, it would obviously take at least one or two months to reach the stage of invisibility.

It seemed like there was not enough spiritual energy underground. Sighing, he continued down the stone path without much thought.

In the end, the stone path was not artificially constructed, and it also had an end. Not long after, he once again returned to the water.

He did not know how long he walked for, but relying on the slightly recovered zhenqi, it seemed to be extremely flat, so it did not pose much of a problem for him.

Along the way, due to hunger, he had caught two small fish to change their flavors. However, they didn't reach the end of the line. In the end, he didn't have the stomach to take a bite. He still endured the bitterness in his mouth and continued to eat the Cosmic Bag's medicinal herbs for a living.

Unknowingly, he had already slept four times. According to his own heartbeat, after four to five days, the zhenqi was still slowly recovering, his spirit was constantly being explored, and although it had recovered, it was not too big. It had only stopped to barely reach the point where he was able to train his spiritual consciousness out of the body.

However, he believed that with his current abilities, as long as he did not meet anyone from the Taoism, he should be able to protect himself. He was recovering day by day. He didn't know how far he had walked, but he still couldn't see the exit of the dark river.

Logically speaking, without considering the distance of being washed away by the water while in a coma, the path he walked after waking up should have been more than a hundred miles. However, from time to time, he would probe upwards with his mind; it was still pitch black and he couldn't see the light.

In other words, everything within the range of his spiritual power was still covered in mud.

And this distance, according to his estimation, was at least more than 600 to 700 meters. When he realized how far this distance was, this discovery gave him a big fright: the underground depth of this underground river was too deep! What a fucking mystery!

Right now, the only thing he was puzzled about was just how long this dark river was buried deep underground. Where did it lead to? Whether it would lead to the ground or not.

It was this doubt that caused him to give up on eating the medicinal herbs to replenish his hunger and the zhenqi s to wait in boredom for the moment his sacred art recovered. Instead, he restored the spirit and spirit of the zhenqi while walking down, wanting to see the end of the dark river.
