Chapter 1492 - 1067: Cleaned Out?!
If Jiang Yuan remembers correctly, Mr. Li mentioned that the system is ruthless, saying that because he hadn’t even completed the basic farming tasks, all he got from binding with the system was the ability to travel to the Otherworld, and nothing else.
In other words, without completing the main storyline tasks step by step, his home hadn’t upgraded, and Mr. Li didn’t even qualify to trigger any side quests.
As a result, he entered the Sea Moon Tomb only to retrieve a single trophy helmet, unaware that a True God resided within!
Of course, it’s fortunate he didn’t follow conventional rules; otherwise, the system’s achievements would belong to Mr. Li, leaving no opportunity for himself to bind with it and change his fate.
"Splash!"
Fetching the Submarine Treasure from the Storage Bag produced by the Treasure Forging Workshop, Jiang Yuan replaced the Double Fish Jade Pendant that had been worn at his waist. As he stepped into the water, he heard a soft ripple and indeed, not a drop of seawater touched him.
Following the direction indicated by the massive light blue arrow, he first passed through the undersea farmland of the courtyard and kept moving forward. After swimming across several hundred miles of spacious, flat seabed, the arrow pointed directly downward.
"Wow! Is this the cliff under the sea?" He stood at the neat edge and looked around, the extremely deep sea had long obscured any trace of sunlight.

But thanks to the Passive Skill Earth Mirror Book, he gained excellent Night Vision ability in the dark seawater. Beneath the surging sea, looking back it’s all vast and flat; beyond the edge, it’s as dark as night.
This implies following the arrow downward, one doesn’t know how deep it goes.
Faced with the vastness of nature, a person seems so small and pathetic. The Submarine Treasure coated him with a layer of air shield exuding a faint yellow warm light, yet he was still like a small firefly slowly drifting down into the abyss below.
As everyone knows, in any game, running the map is a long, boring, yet unavoidable task.
Fortunately, the system is quite reliable; each important location must be personally traversed the first time, and after reaching it, a Teleportation Array can be established.
"It’s a pity, my Gundam can’t fly underwater. When using Paperman and Paper Horse Skill to create it, the paper doesn’t really resist water." Jiang Yuan thought while running the map.
There are eight clones, anyway. How about sending one into retreat specifically to practice the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill?
At the very least, create several types of Gundams.
By the way, he could also learn from the second disciple Fu Qingzhou’s refining of Immortal Ships that navigate the sea, specifically making an undersea paper-mache Immortal Ship. In the future, for any map runs in the sea, he wouldn’t have to rely entirely on walking.
Hey? Speaking of traveling, there should be mounts in the sea, right?
He should find a chance to get a fast and efficient sea mount, keep it on Conch Island, no matter where he goes, it would be convenient...
"Bang!"
While thinking, Jiang Yuan, moving at extreme speed, felt like he hit something.
Soft and bouncy, directly blocking his path.
The massive light blue cursor flickered, still pointing forward. He reached out and felt it, like some sort of Barrier, then looked up to see a not-too-long health bar.
Understood, this is a checkpoint.
"Devouring Mountains and Rivers!"
Selecting the invisible Barrier, he chose to unleash powerful moves to work wonders.
Using this skill in the sea was quite fitting—a giant whale appeared out of nowhere and swallowed the invisible obstruction in one gulp.
"Snap!"
With a crisp sound, the health bar reached zero, and there were no more obstacles.
Continuing to focus on running the map, about ten seconds later, Jiang Yuan noticed the surrounding seawater starting to darken. Without any light sources, it was as if thick ink was mixed in, and soon nothing was visible in any direction.
Fortunately, the arrow guided him, so it didn’t affect him. After continuously breaking through three layers of increasingly longer health-bar obstacles, without warning, a cry echoed in the pitch-black seawater!
[Health -1000!]
Not in Exoskeleton state, being hit felt no pain.
But seeing Jiang Yuan’s health bar displayed, yet not seeing an opponent, he casually clicked to use a Blood Replenishing Pill to restore his health and remained fully vigilant, observing all around.
The surrounding seawater was pitch-black and silent, he frowned slightly, thinking that cry just now somewhat resembled... a dog?
Are there canine Demon Beasts in the nearby sea? Could it be a sea dog?
Straight to action without a word, and with quite some force!
Wondering whether to summon one or two clones back with the Clone Arm Ring, at least to withstand sneak attacks. The next second, Jiang Yuan saw a light point on the map appear and approach rapidly!
He aimed in the direction of the approaching entity, clicked to successfully select the target, and immediately launched a triple combo—Wild Wave Sword Technique, Devouring Mountains and Rivers, and Teleportation.
-4500!
Critical Strike! -39000!
[Lifespan +3 years]
[He Luo Fish Demon Pill +2]
...
Teleporting to the right-front, he saw a flash of a silver-white, semi-transparent, and flowing giant fish tail. The system details also popped up—[He Luo Fish Demon: One head, ten bodies, its sound like a dog’s bark. The Demon Core can be used in medicine; the meat is fresh and tasty, with all diseases cured when consumed by mortals. It can be fried, steamed.]
Oh wow! Main ingredient for refining the Ninth Grade Elixir Soul Supplement Pill!
Releasing a Group Attack Skill Wild Wave Sword Technique, numerous hidden Demon Beasts immediately revealed themselves, lighting up the pitch-black map with countless light points.
"Oh my god! Why are there so many?" More and more light points merged into a sea of light, and Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
The last time he got a Demon Core for Alchemy was by sheer coincidence, a gift from a Great Demon Cultivator, even the treasure vault of the Demon Realm Alliance didn’t have such precious reserves of Demon Cores. Unexpectedly, the Undersea World actually had a large group of He Luo Fish Demons!
The massive light blue arrow was still flickering, guiding the way forward.
