Lin Yao suddenly sat up from the pool, striking a peculiar martial arts pose. As her movements shifted and changed, her aura began to rise in tandem.
Yao Beiluo's face displayed a look of astonishment; even in her unconscious state, Lin Yao was able to instinctively perform martial arts moves and enhance her skills. This was simply extraordinary.
However, what left Yao Beiluo even more shocked was that Lin Yao's martial arts did not just stop at one level increase; instead, it continued to ascend over time. By the end, Yao Beiluo felt numb, completely unable to discern how much Lin Yao had improved; she could no longer see through the levels of her martial arts.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, when the last drop of liquid in the pool was finally exhausted, Lin Yao awoke.
Upon opening her eyes, she was taken aback to see Yao Beiluo in such a dire state. "You’re injured; why didn’t you take a healing potion?"
Lin Yao leaped out of the pool on tiptoe, only to realize that her body felt light and completely unmanageable, nearly colliding with Yao Beiluo.
"What’s happening?"
Seemingly sensing her confusion, Yao Beiluo explained, "Your martial arts have increased several levels; you must not be used to it."
"Several levels?"
Yao Beiluo recounted what had transpired earlier.
Lin Yao opened her system panel to check the previous notifications and indeed found a message from the system.
"Discovered [Xingsu Liquid] sign-in point. Would you like to spend a sign-in point to sign in?"
Just hearing the name made it clear that it was something special, especially since it required system authentication to obtain it; it was evidently not an ordinary treasure. Unfortunately, she had already absorbed the liquid, and the sign-in prompt had expired—she had missed her chance.
However, thinking about how she had absorbed all that liquid, she felt quite fortunate. At that time, when she absorbed the spirit of the White Scale Flood Dragon, she had already reached the critical point of her mental sea. Even as she was on the verge of breaking through in her mental sea, she had poured out her mental energy.
Before that outpouring, she had already inflicted significant damage on herself; the walls of her mental sea were riddled with cracks. She had thought that even if she survived, her mental sea would likely be ruined.
At that moment, her body had also been ravaged by the backlash from mental energy exceeding her martial arts limits; she wasn’t even sure if she would make it through alive.
Who would have thought that she would be so lucky? Yao Beiluo actually threw her into the Pure Pool. Absorbing the essence from the pool turned out to be a blessing in disguise for her. Not only did it heal her physical injuries, but it also enhanced her body technique, allowing her to restore her mental sea as well.
Realizing her situation, Lin Yao searched for her spatial pouch, intending to retrieve some healing potions. To her dismay, she found it empty. Where could her spatial pouch be? It must have been dissolved by the gastric juices of the exotic beast.
Feeling helpless and unable to expose herself, Lin Yao quickly took out a vial of body restoration potion from the system space and handed it to him. "Thank you for saving me. Hurry up and drink this."
Yao Beiluo downed the potion in one gulp and then said, "If it weren't for the captain saving me first, I wouldn't have had the chance to save you."
When it came down to it, things were getting a bit complicated. Lin Yao quickly interrupted, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"About six or seven days," he replied.
Lin Yao's eyes widened in shock. She was now at level seven in body technique. What kind of miraculous substance was this energy liquid that allowed someone to rise three levels within a week without any hindrance or side effects? She couldn't help but lament once again that she hadn't signed in for this Pure Liquid.
"It's been six or seven days, and they still haven't come looking for us. It seems we'll have to rely on ourselves to get out of here," she said.
Yao Beiluo nodded. "I've already observed this nest; it's surrounded by rock layers. Without earth-type abilities, it's difficult to escape."
Lin Yao touched the rocky walls surrounding the nest and confirmed that they were indeed very hard. At that moment, Yao Beiluo had finished healing and stood up beside her, handing over the Meteor Sword.
"This is your weapon, right? It's quite impressive; it managed to withstand the gastric juices of the exotic beast."
Lin Yao looked at the Meteor Sword in her hand, which was pitted and corroded. "Is this what you call withstanding?"
"Compared to other items, it's already quite remarkable. Moreover, it's very sharp. My other cold weapons couldn't even pierce through that star beast's skin, yet this one managed to cut through! Otherwise, I might have just watched helplessly as that high-level exotic beast was corroded by its own gastric juices without being able to collect any materials from it."
Lin Yao had never realized before just how powerful the Meteor Sword truly was.
Not only is it corrosion-resistant, but it can also harm high-level exotic beasts. However, now the blade is pitted and dull; she can only silently store the battle-damaged Meteorite Sword in the system space. Even in this state, it does not hinder the system from analyzing its forging blueprint. Once she gets the chance, she must analyze the blueprint of the Meteorite Sword and forge a few swords for herself.
Now that she has reached level seven in physical skills, using ordinary cold weapons is no longer suitable for her. "Don't you have any higher-grade cold weapons?"
The materials are rare, and the official regulations are strict. Only those with intermediate-level physical skills can apply for forging using their identification cards. Therefore, even someone with a deep background like Yao Beiluo does not possess a single high-grade cold weapon.
Understanding the situation, Lin Yao stopped pondering over weapons and began to figure out how to escape. Since this cave has air, there must be a ventilation opening. "Why don't we look for ventilation holes and see if we can use them to get out?" Lin Yao suggested.
"That could work."
Air is intangible and formless; without any auxiliary means, it is indeed difficult to locate a ventilation opening. Lin Yao released her fully unsealed level seven mental power and scanned the cave in all directions but still could not find any openings.
She had no choice but to use her last resort: activating her Extreme Vision Eyes to observe the energy distribution in the cave and search for ventilation points. The energy in the cave was chaotic, with various colors of differing depths; distinguishing the faint air energy from it was quite challenging.
After spending several days, Lin Yao finally confirmed the source of the air. The two of them stood around a dried-up small pool, both looking puzzled. "If the bottom of this pool is a ventilation area, how did it ventilate when there was water? Did it bubble up?"
"Perhaps that wasn't water at all; it might just be a liquid similar to water that doesn't block air transmission," Yao Beiluo speculated.
Lin Yao examined the pool and found no liquid residue; instead, it was extremely dry and showed no signs of ever having held liquid. Clearly, the reality might indeed be as Yao Beiluo suggested: it was merely a liquid substance, not water at all.
She had initially speculated that this elemental liquid might have formed from elemental fusion water, but now it seemed more likely that it condensed into liquid form due to high concentration after elemental evaporation.
