Looking at the broad lake surface, and recalling the floating corpses on the journey here, Xin Lin already understood that whether she agreed or not, the matter of the Dragon Vein was a done deal.
She wasn’t soone stubborn; she knew that pulling out at this mont would likely lead to Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan killing her to silence her.
In that case, it was better to go down and try, waiting for the opportunity to escape, while also attempting to find out the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Egg Shell.
"I can go down with you, but... I need to know the whereabouts of the Golden Crow Egg Shell first."
Xin Lin relaxed.
Wu Xuan and Wu Yuan exchanged a look, both seeing relief in each other’s eyes.
If Xin Lin had refused, it would have been problematic.
They would have no choice but to make a move.
Having spent the day together, they had grown to appreciate Xin Lin, not in a romantic sense, but purely as a partner.
"As for the Golden Crow Egg Shell, I’ll keep my word. Once we enter the Dragon Ancient Tomb, we might discover sothing. You should know, the Dragon Clan and the Golden Crow Clan are sworn enemies. Newly hatched little dragons from the Dragon Clan are delicate and hard to raise, requiring the nourishnt from Golden Crow eggs. Deep inside the Dragon Ancient Tomb, there should be remains of the Golden Crows, possibly including Golden Crow Egg Shells."
Wu Xuan explained.
He had accepted the Hire Order for this reason.
Upon hearing this, Xin Lin was struck with awe.
If that was truly the case, she might be able to find the Golden Crow Egg Shell by entering Black Water Lake.
"We should hurry, let’s get in the water. If we delay further, I’m worried those brats will steal my Dragon Vein."
Wu Yuan appeared confident.
Xin Lin nodded, called out to the Overlord Egg, and got ready to go into the lake.
But, the Overlord Egg stubbornly refused to enter the water.
("I hate this place, don’t go down,")
After hopping around by the lake for a while, the Overlord Egg lay down motionless, pretending to be dead, refusing to go in.
It didn’t understand why, but being near these waters made it uneasy.
Xin Lin tried cajoling and bribing it, even offering up the Overlord Egg’s recently favorite treat, a skewer of candied hawthorns, but it still stubbornly refused.
Out of options, Xin Lin had no choice but to keep the Overlord Egg inside the Sealing Spirit Talisman No.2.
"Xin Lin, could I take a look at that talisman?"
As Xin Lin collected the Overlord Egg, Wu Xuan took a longer glance at her talisman.
Xin Lin handed the Sealing Spirit Talisman to Wu Xuan.
"This can hold Xuan Spirit Beast?"
Wu Xuan marveled.
There aren’t many Spiritual Treasures capable of holding items on the mainland, but those that do aren’t exactly rare.
However, most such treasures cannot hold living beings; Xin Lin’s talisman is clearly different.
"It doesn’t look like it’s from the mainland. Where did you get it?"
Wu Yuan also leaned in for a closer look.
"It was sothing I randomly bought at the Black Brilliance Market. It wasn’t expensive."
Xin Lin gave a noncommittal answer.
The two didn’t press further.
"The water is very cold, and the ancient dragon inside must be an Ice Horned Dragon. Before we go down, let’s each take a Fire Ganoderma Pill."
Wu Xuan pulled out a bottle of Elixir Pills, handed two to each person, and instructed, "It’s necessary to take one every three hours."
The three slowly entered the water.
The water was indeed chilling. Xin Lin held a Fire Ganoderma Pill in her mouth, and only with the slow activate of the Fire Spirit inside her body did she feel sowhat better.
After diving for about fifteen minutes, a cliff wall indeed appeared ahead.
In the cliff wall, there was a hole just big enough for one person to pass through.
Examining the hole closely, it did sowhat resemble traces left by a serpentine creature.
However, with the entrance hidden under the water, it would be impossible to find without guidance.
