Although they still did not know the specific purpose of this pebble, it emitted a trace of divinity, indicating to Shao that it was a treasure. Moreover, it could activate venerable power, at least making it a venerable-level treasure.
“Haha, this time it’s well-deserved.”
The venerable who obtained the helmet and the pebble couldn’t help but feel overjoyed and quickly put it away. This treasure, acquired deep within the Dragon Nest in the Soul Lake, might have some special effects; who knows?
After fishing up the Water Grass Box, regardless of whether they obtained mere scraps or treasures, the several venerables quickly stowed their items and swiftly left the area of the Soul Lake.
This left Qin Chen and some latecomers puzzled. They later heard others explain that the Soul Lake was very peculiar; essentially, one could only fish up the Water Grass Box for the first time. Once a Water Grass Box was caught, it became nearly impossible to fish up another on the second attempt.
In fact, even easily pulling up the law chain would have a certain impact on fishing up a Water Grass Box.
Thus, once these venerables fished up the Water Grass Box, regardless of whether they had obtained a treasure, they would leave. They preferred to explore other places rather than waste time here. After all, in the depths of the Myriad Divine Treasury, the Dragon Nest was just one of many peculiar secret realms, with many abandoned stars and treasures that could hold other good items.
After listening to this, Qin Chen felt a sinking sensation in his heart. He was certain that the force strongly attracting the true dragon aura within him came from the Soul Lake. However, Qin Chen also did not dare to assert that he could definitely fish up something.
If he fished up something else, it would be completely over. No matter how strong Qin Chen was, he could not break into the Soul Lake to search for the treasure that attracted him.
He had to be cautious, very cautious.
Qin Chen let the law chain transformed by the true dragon aura permeate the Soul Lake, beginning to sense the composition of this lake bit by bit, attempting to use his experience from fishing in the Underworld River to fish for treasures within the Soul Lake.
Therefore, he did not immediately seek to sense what treasures were at the bottom of the lake but instead focused on perceiving the formation of the lake and the aura of the soul water.
Buzz! Qin Chen’s spiritual awareness was thoroughly immersed within.
While Qin Chen was in deep perception, venerables continually arrived around the Soul Lake. After understanding the situation, they also began to fish.
Every time a Water Grass Box was pulled up, some successfully looted while others were dragged into the Soul Lake, meeting a tragic end. Once someone died in the Soul Lake, they would vanish forever, sinking to the riverbed.
Qin Chen stayed here for several days, with his law chain not penetrating the depths of the lake. He was merely sensing the situation.
In these few days, some returned empty-handed while others obtained decent items, but still, no astonishing treasures emerged.
“The Soul Lake is quite interesting.”
On this day, while Qin Chen was still sensing the Soul Lake, a deep and resonant voice echoed. This voice reverberated around the lake, as if ringing in everyone’s ears.
Although this voice resonated near the lake, the speaker was nowhere to be seen. None of those fishing here were weak; now hearing the voice without seeing the person made many feel a chill, knowing that the speaker was an extraordinary strong individual.
With a swoosh, as many venerables turned to look for the speaker, a light sound suddenly arose. In the crowd, a slightly plump figure appeared. This person had eyes that seemed to roll around.
This person looked harmless, clearly a human, yet the aura emanating from them made everyone change color, as an overwhelming pressure condensed around them. This was clearly a Peak Earth Venerable.
