Chapter 54 Found the Odd Melon

The bottom of the pool was as dark as black ink. Li Ping'an could see the vigorous and slender aquatic plants sway gently.

He seemed to be on the dense grassland where the breeze was blowing gently, bringing soft ripples.

But what made Li Ping'an a little surprised was that he had been exploring this pool for so long, but there was not even a loach, let alone any fish.

Except for the vigorous aquatic plants, it seemed to be an abandoned dead place.

At this time, Li Ping'an's oxygen was still abundant. Although there was an inexplicable energy aura summoning him desperately, he was not in a hurry.

He was just like a boxer. If he wanted to knock down the opponent with only one punch, he needed to carefully prepare and plan for it instead of starting harshly. He should find the weakest part of the opponent and accumulate his strength to achieve the best. Only in this way could he get an ideal outcome.

This Gloomy Dragon Pool had already been very famous. And the water in the pool was so strange that Li Ping'an couldn't be careless!

Even the searchlight had great penetrating light, Li Ping'an had to adjust it extremely dim in order not to attract the attention of other creatures in the pool. He could no longer rely first on his sight to explore the pool but make more use of his perception and hearing.

After adapting for a while, Li Ping'an had already got quite accustomed to the surrounding environment.

"It is impossible for such a big pool to be without other lives. But now it seems to be true. There is likely to be a great and powerful creature dominating the pool..."

Li Ping'an frowned slightly, showing that he was thinking carefully.

"However, this is not bad. For me, it will not only be clearer to follow the direction, but also prevent other creatures from attacking me."

After exploring these aquatic plants, he found nothing strange except the dead silent water. Li Ping'an did not hurry. He swam towards where the energy was fluctuating.

After going forward hundreds of meters, the terrain changed abruptly.

There was a dark and deep gully, just like a cut that was split by a knife, lying in the dense water plants.

And that powerful energy was attracting him from the depths of this gully.

"D*mn it! While the old saying goes, "Never go into a strange forest", now I am forced to explore the gully..."

Li Ping'an's eyes narrowed slightly. He was examining the bottomless abyss.

But he had already been here. Even if this deep gully was weird, Li Ping'an couldn't give up.

After thinking for a while, he made a few marks on the deep, blade-like rocks. And then he continued to dive slowly.

On the water depth indicator on his wrist, the numbers were constantly changing.

"128 meters."

"164 meters."

"..."

Li Ping'an didn't stop until the numbers showed that there were 397 meters deep.

He found that steep gully ended. And there was an open land shining with colorful rays of light underneath.

Fortunately, Li Ping'an was strong enough and had been cultivated by the mysterious stone and the mysterious pool water.

If he had been an ordinary man without high-resistance protection suit, he would have died in such depth with his body squeezed.

Suddenly his view at the bottom was lightened, so Li Ping'an immediately turned off the searchlight. He was like a sensitive octopus, grasping a rock recess, carefully looking down from a height.

On this sight, he found something strange.

In the next instant, Li Ping'an's body trembled as his pupils suddenly shrank. Though he grasped the rock so tightly that he almost crushed it, he nearly fell into the gully.

He could see a spacious space below whose length was about hundreds of meters. And at the bottom, there were several luminous stones which were like sands but crystal-clear.

The surrounding area was covered with dense and strange aquatic plants, which were somewhat similar to the Teling Herb that Li Ping'an had seen before.

But not far from these aquatic plants, there was a huge python that was as thick as a grinding disc. It was covered with dark scales, coiling and sleeping quietly.

It was too huge.

Li Ping'an even couldn't describe it in words. Even one of its scales was bigger than a washbasin. The python coiled there just like a hill.

It was from the python that this kind of terrifying energy aura radiated.

Fortunately, it was sleeping. On its head, which was even larger than a car, its two eyes were closed at this time.

Otherwise, once it opened its eyes, Li Ping'an couldn't dare to imagine what would happen.

"F**k, it was really a big guy..."

Li Ping'an couldn't stop trembling all over. He could only grit his teeth desperately and kept balance, preventing himself from making any noise.

This scene was too shocking and too terrifying.

If Li Ping'an took a picture of it and sent it out, it would shock the whole world!

This big black thing had completely beyond human's knowledge...

Was this still a kind of creature on earth?

He knew the largest python on the planet at that time was the rainforest python that lived in the rainforests of South America.

But even the longest rainforest python was just no more than 20 meters in length.

But at this time...

"This python... has it been... beyond the Awakening Stage...?"

Li Ping'an was almost scared to death.

As brave as he was, he felt afraid in front of this strange monster. His legs were shaking, and he even lost control of his own body.

"F**k off! I've already arrived here! How could I return without gaining anything?"

Li Ping'an gritted his teeth hard and forced himself to remain calm.

In this great variation, the ordinary beasts began to guard such places where the odd melon was produced. So the big guy in front of him must also guard something more precious.

Li Ping'an believed that there must be some treasures. He was hurried to explore inside, keeping himself silent.

"Huh? But there seems to be something wrong..."

Soon, Li Ping'an discovered something abnormal.

He found a very secret but slightly obtrusive thing on the giant head of this dark python.

On this dark python's head, there was something like a horn.

"How... how could this be?"

Li Ping'an couldn't believe what he had seen!

It was said that the constant growing horn was a sign that a python would evolve into a flood dragon in folk legends.

A flood dragon...

What did this mean?

Simply speaking, it was the prototype of the dragon and could even be regarded as a branch of the dragon.

And the dark python in front of him was about to grow horns...

"Calm down! Calm down!"

"Even if it will really be a flood dragon soon, it's still sleeping. So I am not in danger yet!"

Li Ping'an bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to calm down again!

No wonder the people here called this place Gloomy Dragon Pool, and the great groups like the Tiangang team, Fairy Island Creature, and Xiangyun Gene were all going to explore here at this time. There was a "dragon" in the pool, a real dragon...

A few minutes later, Li Ping'an calmed down, but he was still slightly puzzled.

"Since this dark python is about to transform into a flood dragon and has been dominating the pool for so many years, there must be some treasures here..."

"Or, its treasures are these weird grasses like Teling Herb?"

Li Ping'an thought hard.

"No!"

Immediately, Li Ping'an denied his judgment.

The scale of this great variation was so huge that he already had a personal experience!

Even ordinary ferocious beasts would guard the area where powerful odd melons were grown, not to mention this dark python that was transforming into a flood dragon!

"There must be something special!"

"F**k! I have already been here, so why not go down and have a look?! Anyway, it is sleeping now. If it dares to wake up somehow, I can feed it with a bottle of the mysterious pool water!"

He was young and not afraid of any danger!

Determined, Li Ping'an didn't hesitate anymore. He slowly fell into this radiant space.

As soon as he entered this space, a feeling of comfort beyond words immediately haunted Li Ping'an. He felt so comfortable that he even wanted to sleep here.

"F**k off! No wonder it is sleeping here. It is so comfortable. If I were it, I would also neglect those corpses!"

However, Li Ping'an did not rush to pick these aquatic plants which were similar to the Teling Herb. Instead, he began to explore the surroundings more carefully.

There were a large number of such gravel-like crystal stones all around. They were just like tiny stars, shinning in this small space like being in a deep galaxy.

"What are these stones?"

Li Ping'an was puzzled.

He wanted to pick up one for a closer inspection but was afraid to wake up this terrifying dark python. So he could only take a closer look.

Unfortunately, with Li Ping'an's experience, nothing could be found on these stones.

After exploring around, he found nothing else precious. And Li Ping'an soon focused on the surrounding areas of the dark python.

"D*mn it!"

Suddenly, Li Ping'an's eyes lit up, and his heart began to beat extremely hard!

He found an odd melon!

Just under the huge mouth of this dark python, there was a black strange aquatic plant growing.

This aquatic plant was not too big, only fifty or sixty centimeters high. But it was very vibrant, attractive, and impressive.

In the center of its branches grew an odd melon that was nearly black but crystally clear.

The color of this dark python was too close to that of the strange aquatic plant and the odd melon. And Li Ping'an was so far away just now, so he didn't notice it!

At this moment, he had got close enough and seen that this dark python was guarding this strange aquatic plant and odd melon even while sleeping.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an could know that these must be the great treasure as precious as its life...

For a while, Li Ping'an thought hard, and his chest was almost bursting!

In this regard, this black odd melon must be a shocking treasure!

It was so worthwhile that this dark python was guarding it carefully even while sleeping!

But the problem was...

As this dark python had regarded the black odd melon as more precious than its own life, should he still take this melon anyway?

If so, once he waked up this python, how could he escape from here?

Though the mysterious pool water could strengthen him greatly, regarding the shape of this giant dark python, Li Ping'an doubted that it had already been beyond Awakening Stage.

Could the mysterious pool water make him strong enough to defeat it...

Li Ping'an had never been so nervous in his life!

But he only hesitated for a moment. Li Ping'an then gritted his teeth, and his eyes sharpened. He thought, "Now the opportunity has been given to me. If I didn't have a try, the opportunity would be wasted! Only when I have tried it would I know the result! I don't believe that I would die here!"

Thinking about it, Li Ping'an no longer hesitated. He swam to the dark python carefully and stably.
