They had only wanted to obtain some Dragon Transformation Pearls in advance. Who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns?
Ye Chen and the rest stood at the edge of the crack. Although they were quite far away, they could clearly see that the crack was surrounded by a thick layer of fog several meters deep. The fog churned as if it was alive.
The terrifying torrent that occasionally shot out came from this ball of mist.
"The aura within the Dragon Transformation Pool seems to be able to sense our presence. As long as we approach, it will immediately react."
Ye Chen stared intently at the crack in front of him. In order to verify his guess, he took a small step forward.
Indeed, the instant he approached, the fog within the crack immediately began to churn as if another torrent was about to shoot out.
"If we can find the pattern of its eruption, the rest will be simple. I was just worried that if too much of the torrent was shot out, others would be able to sense this location." Lei Yao nodded.
Although they had discovered the reason for the Dragon Transformation Pool's eruption, this discovery did not make Lei Yao and the rest very happy.
This was because even if they knew the reason, it would still be of no help to them in their hunt for Dragon Transformation Pearls.
"Since the Dragon Transformation Pool is preventing us from approaching, why don't we try using our Spiritual Strength? If the energy within the Dragon Transformation Pool can even destroy Spiritual Strength, or if Spiritual Strength can also cause a reaction, we will immediately turn and leave. We will give up on the idea of hunting for Dragon Transformation Pearls in advance." Ye Chen suggested after some thought.
Lei Yao and the rest looked at each other and helplessly said, "We can only do so. Let's give it a try first. Be careful."
After saying this, Lei Yao immediately split a portion of his Spiritual Strength. Like an invisible tentacle, it slowly probed towards the crack in front of them.
To everyone's delight, the approach of the Spiritual Strength did not cause any reaction from the strange energy within the Dragon Transformation Pool.
Even when Lei Yao's Spiritual Strength directly probed into the Dragon Transformation Pool, there was still no reaction from the pool.
"Great! So this is the correct way to hunt for Dragon Transformation Pearls. Using soul power to fish for Dragon Transformation Pearls. You guys should hurry up and try it. How many Dragon Transformation Pearls you can get will depend on your own abilities."
Lei Yao said excitedly to the people around him as he pulled out a small, grayish-brown stone that was half the size of a fist and had a strange energy on its surface from the crack in front of him.
This small stone was a Dragon Transformation Pearl.
Seeing the appearance of the Dragon Transformation Pearl with their own eyes, Ye Chen and the rest immediately became envious. Without the slightest hesitation, they each sent a portion of their Soul Strength into the crack before them.
At this moment, almost everyone present here was quite powerful. Although Yang Jing and Bassuid were much weaker than Ye Chen and the other two, they were born in the imperial capital and could be considered to be from famous families. They were also extremely skilled in the aspect of souls.
Even Lei Yao, who had started hunting for Dragon Transformation Pearls from the very beginning, and Ye Chen and the rest sent their Soul Strength into the crack before them.
Bassuid had just probed his Soul Strength into the crack before him when he immediately exclaimed, "What a strong resistance. I didn't think that there would be such a strong resistance in the Dragon Transformation Pool. With this resistance, I'm afraid that our Soul Strength will be completely depleted in no time."
Actually, he didn't need to say anything. Ye Chen and the rest had already sensed this point.
Soul Strength was originally a formless thing. However, after probing into the Dragon Transformation Pool, it was like a piece of wood that had sunk into water. Every movement of the Soul Strength was astonishingly strong.
With the existence of this resistance, their souls would have to expend a great deal of energy just to move around in the Dragon Transformation Pool, let alone find the Dragon Transformation Pearl and bring it out.
Faced with Bassuid's exclamation, no one responded to Bassuid.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the Dragon Transformation Pool. No one was in the mood to pay attention to Bassuid.
Even Bassuid himself quickly shut up and focused on hunting for the Dragon Transformation Pearls below.
Buzz!
Almost a moment later, Yang Jing's face lit up with joy.
A sparkling and translucent light suddenly shot out from the crack in front of them, and then floated in front of Yang Jing.
This sparkling light was a broken branch. Although it was just a branch, it still carried a large amount of the Dragon Transformation Pool's Soul Strength.
Yang Jing's face was filled with excitement as she directly sealed the withered branch.
The so-called Dragon Transformation Pearls were just some stalactites that contained the Dragon Transformation Pool's Soul Strength. These stalactites could be rocks or branches. In short, anything that carried the Dragon Transformation Pool's Soul Strength could be considered a Dragon Transformation Pearl.
Yang Jing's Soul Strength was ranked at the bottom among the group. Even Bassuid was slightly stronger than her.
However, other than Lei Yao, she was the second person to fish up a Dragon Transformation Pearl.
Ye Chen and the others glanced at Yang Jing with surprise in their eyes.
No one had expected Yang Jing to be the first to fish up a Dragon Transformation Pearl.
However, from this, everyone could tell that whether one could obtain a Dragon Transformation Pearl depended not only on the strength of one's Soul Strength, but also on one's luck.
The process of fishing for a Dragon Transformation Pearl was like searching for something in the dark. If the item was extremely close to you, you could naturally quickly obtain it.
However, if the item was extremely far away, it would be extremely difficult to find it without being able to see how far it was.
Yang Jing was lucky enough to find a Dragon Transformation Pearl so quickly.
Immediately after, a ray of light flashed in front of Lei Yao. He had found his second Dragon Transformation Pearl.
After that, Bassuid also fished up a Dragon Transformation Pearl.
As the Dragon Transformation Pearls appeared one after another, the group sat cross-legged on the ground and focused all their attention on controlling their Soul Strength to fish for the Dragon Transformation Pearls.
They only had less than a day's time left.
Of course, a day was only in theory. In reality, only two hours had passed. Yang Jing, who had already fished up two Dragon Transformation Pearls, suddenly revealed a pained expression.
She quickly withdrew the Soul Strength that she had released.
Yang Jing opened her eyes and a helpless expression appeared on her face.
Just now, her Soul Strength had already discovered a new Dragon Transformation Pearl. However, after searching for two hours, her Soul Strength had been greatly depleted. If she continued searching, her Soul Strength would be severely damaged.
Therefore, Yang Jing had no choice but to withdraw her Soul Strength.
Just as Yang Jing withdrew her Soul Strength, Bassuid, who was beside her, also revealed a pained expression.
The two of them were equally powerful and had reached their limits at almost the same time.
Opening his eyes, Bassuid immediately noticed Yang Jing, who had stopped fishing for the Dragon Transformation Pearls first.
Sweeping his gaze over Ye Chen and the others, who were still fishing for the Dragon Transformation Pearls, Bassuid smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect that fishing for Dragon Transformation Pearls would be so difficult. I tried my best and only managed to fish up one."
"I only managed to fish up two pearls. I wonder how many of them will be able to fish up?" Yang Jing replied to Bassuid, but her gaze was completely focused on Lei Yao.
