Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 490: Black Snake (Two in One)

The sudden light slowly faded away from Li Qiuzhi's eyes, and what reappeared in his vision was a bright underwater world.

Above is a dome made of white bricks, and on the left and right sides are walls made of bricks, as is the ground.

But no matter where it is, up, down, left or right, there are special white shell pearls for decoration.

It seemed that even the ground was inlaid with shell and pearl lamps arranged in a regular pattern. Li Qiuzhi felt a little strange.

If humans had lived here in the past, they would have likely bumped into things while walking.

This design, which goes against human intuition, also directly told Li Qiuzhi the answer.

The creatures that once lived in this secret realm were not actually humans, and the water in the secret realm was not the same as when the secret realm was just opened.

It's pouring in from outside.

It probably looked like this when it was first built. The creatures living in this secret place should be some kind of "aquatic creatures" that live in water.

The pearls in the white shells emitted a bright light that was very soft and natural, which made Li Qiuzhi who was there feel very happy.

There is no sense of awkwardness at all.

Apparently, the creatures that decorate their underwater passages with these shell pearl lights have a perception of light similar to that of humans.

Possessing intelligence, living in water, and having a similar comfort level with light as humans.
Could it be that the people living here are some kind of humans who can live in water for a long time?
A shark?
Li Qiuzhi subconsciously thought of a relatively famous fantasy creature on Earth, although when he traveled through.

The game does not mention creatures called "mermaids", but there are many other races with human characteristics.

Like Klee with pointed ears and Sucrose with fluffy animal ears.

They are all very common, so it is not ruled out that there is a species similar to "mermaids" living in the water. Li Qiuzhi held his chin and thought.

“So, so beautiful.”

Barbara, who had two light golden ponytails, opened her eyes at some point and looked at the scenery around her.

A look of curiosity and excitement appeared on her fair and pretty face.

Hearing Barbara's exclamation, Noelle looked around curiously, and was also attracted by the many exquisite and beautiful pearls.

As expected, girls are generally interested in these beautiful things. Li Qiuzhi smiled and said:
“This secret place has existed for thousands of years. Rather than letting these treasures continue to be covered in dust underwater, it would be better for us to take them away and maximize their value.

"After all, it is our job as adventurers to restore the glory of dusty treasures.

"But you have to take them before you leave. After all, you still need them for lighting now."

Noelle and Barbara felt that taking away such beautiful shell and pearl lamps would make the place without light seem a bit regrettable and imperfect.

But what Li Qiuzhi said was not without reason.

"Let's keep going."

After Li Qiuzhi discovered that there was no danger through the vision of the "Fluorescent Sword God" in front of him, he continued to control the large transparent bubble carrying several people to move forward.

The bubbles moved silently in the water. After a few minutes, they floated for several hundred meters and they were still in the white corridor.

However, starting from a few dozen meters, some murals appeared on the walls on both sides.

The murals are carved with scenes of humans with fish tails living in a secret realm, such as hunting, eating, etc.

If you continue to look, you can find that the contents of all the murals seem to be connected.

From the difficult survival in the beginning, the cooperation between different tribes stabilized in Bishuiyuan, and the tribe gradually grew stronger.

When they develop to a certain level, conflicts with other races are inevitable for the resources needed for survival.

That race also lives in water.

They have snake tails, human bodies, snake tongues, and poisonous fangs. They are a kind of snake people.

The mermaids are completely unable to defeat such a being.

But fortunately, they discovered a secret realm in the water, and then used the treasure resources in the secret realm to cultivate many powerful warriors.

Finally, under the leadership of the Mermaid King, they successfully confronted the Snake People.

After a period of reluctant peace, the Demon War began, and the snake people followed a giant black snake and worshipped it as their racial god.

Facing demon-level enemies, the mermaids are no match at all.

They had no choice but to leave behind these murals, abandon the place where they had lived and made their fortune for many years, and migrate along the river to the outside of the sea.

There is no record of what happened afterwards, after all, the mermaids had already fled.

No one knows whether this secret realm has been discovered and occupied by the snake people, and why mermaids and snake people are rarely seen nowadays.

There are no specific records.

Looking at the history recorded on the murals, Noel and Barbara were a little surprised. They had never expected that such a fierce racial struggle had taken place in Bishuiyuan thousands of years ago.

Li Qiuzhi was just about to lament how difficult it was to survive, but suddenly through the perspective of the "Fluorescent Sword God", he saw a location a few hundred meters ahead.

There is a place that looks like a hall, in which are placed many snake-people statues.

There are ten statues in total, one column on the left and one column on the right.

With their hands raised flat, each row from front to back held an ordinary treasure chest, an exquisite treasure chest, a precious treasure chest, and a gorgeous treasure chest.

There are two snake statues in the last row, one holding a holy relic emitting golden light, and the other holding a black snake statue with bloody cracks on its body.

Just looking at it gives people an uncomfortable feeling.

When one reaches Li Qiuzhi's level of strength, intuition doesn't come for no reason and is very likely to be accurate.

So this dark snake statue must be hiding danger!
"What's wrong, Mr. Adventurer?"

The careful Noelle noticed that Li Qiuzhi frowned, so he parted his soft lips and asked.

Barbara, who was looking at the mural, also looked over.

"I found something wrong up ahead. Let me see what's going on."

Li Qiuzhi did not rush over, but asked Noel to make a bench with rock elements, and sat down together to wait for the results of the "Fluorescent Sword God"'s test.

She condensed her sword energy into a golden sword, and first swung out a sword energy towards the ordinary treasure chest held in the hand of the first snake statue on the left.

The sword energy ignored the resistance in the water and passed through. The ordinary treasure chest was cut in the middle and fell to the ground along with the snake man statue's hands.

Crash.

A large amount of golden Mora "floated" silently to the ground, and nothing strange happened.

Li Qiuzhi continued to control the "Fluorescent Sword God" and split each treasure chest open first.

A large number of Mora, holy relics and other treasures slowly fell to the ground under the resistance of the water. It seemed that there was no problem.

It was no different from a real treasure chest, but Li Qiuzhi always felt something was wrong, because he had never encountered so many treasure chests appearing in the same scene in the game.

Especially with two gorgeous treasure chests.

He thought for a moment, and continued to control the "Fluorescent Sword God" to prepare to slash out another sword energy. This time the target was the black snake-like statue.

The golden sword energy hit the pitch-black snake statue as expected. "Crack" a crack appeared on the pitch-black snake statue and it flew out.

It slowly fell to the ground like a leaf drifting in the wind, but still there was no movement.

Oh? It's so hard that even the sword with the "sharp intention" characteristic couldn't cut it. Could it really be some kind of treasure?
Li Qiuzhi was secretly surprised.

But he still believed in himself. Since he felt that there was something wrong with it, he should not touch it rashly.

Moreover, the pitch-black snake depicted in the mural of the mermaid tribe is quite similar to this statue, so perhaps they are related.

Then he swung out a few more golden sword energies and attacked the black snake-shaped statue.

The golden sword energy was like a golden crescent moon in the water, quickly moving towards the black snake-shaped statue.

It might be because a gap had been created by the sword energy, leaving a loophole in the defense.

The following few sword energies easily cut the entire black snake statue into several pieces.

Just when Li Qiuzhi thought that nothing had happened, a large amount of black aura suddenly came out of the cracked black snake statue.

In Li Qiuzhi's gaze, it rose into the air and condensed into a giant black snake with scarlet pupils.

It seemed to be very excited and roared to the sky:

"Damn Morax!!! The God is coming out!!!"

Although it was clearly in the water, the sound made by this pitch-black snake formed by black energy was accurately transmitted to the mind of Li Qiuzhi who was several hundred meters away.

Indiscriminate spiritual transmission?

He looked at Noelle and Barbara and asked:
"Did you hear that too?"

"Hmm, it seems his name is Morax. I remember that Morax seemed to be the god of Liyue."

Noelle and Barbara nodded, with puzzled expressions on their equally fair and pretty faces.

"I see. It looks like something incredible was released!"

Li Qiuzhi nodded and chuckled.

If I'm not mistaken, this pitch-black snake that seems to be left with only its soul should be the one worshipped by the snake people.

It was during the Demon War period, and this place was still the Green Water Plain. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been the territory of the mermaids that was occupied.

I don’t know why, but I provoked Zhongli.

Apparently, nothing happened next. It was beaten up and sealed in this secret place until Li Qiuzhi accidentally released it.

"Hey, is that the big black snake painted on the mural? Should we go back first?"

Barbara covered her mouth in surprise and said a little uneasily.

After all, that was a powerful existence that even the entire mermaid race had to flee in fear, so it was obviously very unsafe for them to continue staying here.

Li Qiuzhi patted Barbara's shoulder gently, signaling her to rest assured and said:
"It doesn't matter. The pitch-black snake has been sealed for a long time. Even if it comes out now, its strength is much weaker. We can deal with it!"

The reason why he had such great confidence was naturally because he had seen the level of the pitch-black snake through the perspective of the "Fluorescent Sword God":
【Level: 98】

Maybe it was very powerful when fighting Zhongli during the Demon War, but now it is only level 98 and has declined to this point.

Then he won’t be afraid. He will beat him up first!
Now he, the "Fluorescent Sword God" who is in the "Spiral of the Abyss", has entered the third level of the "Corridor of the Abyss" and is constantly clearing out the monsters there.

The experience points on Li Qiuzhi's character panel have accumulated to about 780,000, and he will defeat the giant black snake later.

Adding those monsters deep in the third layer of the "Abyss Corridor", his experience points should be able to exceed one million, and then he can upgrade his level again!

Li Qiuzhi showed an excited look and said to the two girls:
"Let's step back a bit, so as not to be affected by the aftermath of the battle between my sword incarnation and the pitch-black snake."

"Yeah." The two girls naturally had no objection.

They followed Li Qiuzhi out to actually broaden their horizons, and they were basically unable to help in a battle of this level.

"By the way, do you want to see what's going on inside? I can use my mental power to establish a connection with you and synchronize the images I see to you."

Li Qiuzhi continued speaking while controlling the big bubble to retreat.

"Is it really possible?"

Barbara and Noelle had just seen the description on the mural, and it was impossible for them not to be curious about such an existence.

"Of course, give me your hand." Li Qiuzhi sat on the rock element bench and extended his hands to the two cute girls next to him.

With his attainments in mental power, connecting mental power naturally does not require physical contact to be completed, as long as it is within his perception range.

Even though his mental strength was much weaker than Li Qiuzhi's, he was able to easily establish a connection. He did this just to hold a girl's soft hand.

"Ok!"

Noel and Barbara were unaware of Li Qiuzhi's evil intentions and thought that this was the way to establish a spiritual connection.

Without much hesitation, he placed his fair hand on Li Qiuzhi's palm, and Noel also temporarily took off the armor gloves he was wearing.

Li Qiuzhi gently held the soft hands of the two lovely girls, and began to establish a connection with them with his surging mental power.

Watching his hand being gently wrapped and held by the Knight of Honor, and feeling the warm body temperature coming from it.

The two girls seemed to realize that they were both holding hands with a boy, and a barely perceptible blush appeared on their fair faces.

But if he pulled his hand back at this time, the other two would obviously know that he was overthinking it, so Noel and Barbara remained silent at the same time.

And the hands of Mr. Honorary Knight (Adventurer) are quite warm.
[Noelle has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 260 points of favorable impression, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.9 (350/900)]

[Barbara has developed a favorable impression of you, gaining 280 favorable impressions, and the current favorable impression level is Lv.6 (480/600)]

Li Qiuzhi looked at the favorability prompt that popped up on the character panel. He appeared calm as if he was unaware of anything, and synchronized his perspective from the "Fluorescent Sword God" to the two girls.

I couldn't help feeling a little happy.

"Foolish human, thank you for releasing me. In return, I will allow you to become a part of God, just like my former subjects!

"Now let's start with your avatar!"

When Barbara and Noel synchronized to the perspective of the "Fluorescent Sword God", the first thing they saw was a giant black snake opening its huge mouth and swallowing "themselves"!
