An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Only players who are "daring and willing to fight" can handle its temper!

With his mind clear, Jiang Baobin resumed his training with renewed confidence.

I've already set my goal: tomorrow I'll give it my all to see the true face of the lake bottom!

Well, this isn't up to him; it depends on the system's whims...

As he expected, fate indeed changed.

After nightfall, the northwest wind howled fiercely!

Jiang Baobin couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had the foresight.

Although a lot of effort was spent building the shack, aren't the benefits showing now?

Don't let the fact that this is a thatched hut fool you; it's absolutely airtight.

If I had done it hastily, I would have suffered terribly!

Although he possesses Kundalini energy, he hasn't yet reached the level where he can generate energy while sleeping.

Therefore, it is crucial that the shelter is sufficiently warm...

Jiang Baobin finally reached the bottom of the pool on the twenty-first day of his journey into the mountains.

After achieving his goal, the guy clenched his fist and swung it hard!

Then it's just a matter of waiting.

But all they got was silence; the system didn't give them any indication whatsoever.

Holy crap! Are you kidding me?

Reaching the bottom of the pool has always been his obsession.

I thought I was going to win a big prize, but the system gave me a real shock!

Ugh! I hate it so much!

Helplessly looking around, I realized this was a world of stone.

The big stone presses down on the small stone, and the small stone presses down on the even smaller stone.

Jiang Baobin searched for a long time but couldn't find even a trace of diamonds or mutton fat jade.

However, he still brought a few strange-looking stones with him, intending to study them carefully once he got up there.

With more rocks, there will naturally be less aquatic plants.

However, there are a large amount of algae and plankton.

Jiang Baobin could feel a warm, horizontal flow of water.

It flows in continuously, carrying a large number of bubbles.

Although Jiang Baobin didn't understand, he felt that the water flow was very strange and should be a source of nutrients.

It is because of this that fish have food, and Jiang Baobin has fish to eat.

Although I'm eager to investigate further, my strength is exhausted, and I must stop here for today...

After turning the page in the system and succeeding, I felt quite good.

This shows that his "Wave Wrapping Skill" and "Fetal Breathing Skill" have reached a completely new level!

What's more, the system even rewarded us with a giant fish before we left!

"Splash!"

Sensing danger, the fish used all its strength to leap out of the water with Jiang Baobin in tow!

Its survival instinct drove it to struggle with all its might!

Just as the fish pulled him out of the water.

Jiang Baobin saw an animal drinking water and, startled, fled.

Immediately afterwards, Four-Eyes barked and chased after him.

It's a dog that doesn't like to bark, but it actually barked while chasing prey.

This only shows that the dog is very unhappy!

Jiang Baobin understood after a moment's thought—this guy was definitely lying in ambush, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

But it was spectacularly ruined by itself.

Haha, do you think I wanted to? I had no choice in the matter.

"Splash!" The man and the fish fell back into the water.

Sigh, nothing is easy. You really have to work hard just to have a bite to eat!

Fish: You bastard! You're just a bite to eat to me, but you're my life!

The frenzied fish carried Jiang Baobin, sometimes plunging to the bottom of the pool, sometimes rushing back up.

Unfortunately, no matter how much the fish struggled, Jiang Baobin only focused on one thing—

I'll just keep prying your mouth and gills open and see how much more you can do.

Fish are powerful in the water, but they never became sentient.

If it encounters someone like Jiang Baobin with such abnormal swimming skills, its final fate can only be to submit.

After Jiang Baobin dragged the exhausted fish ashore, Gouzi ran over happily again.

However, this time it was a bit difficult for it to drag it, because this fish weighed a good seventeen or eighteen pounds!

It belongs to the ancestors of this pool.

The next day.

Today is a crucial moment. Jiang Baobin has a premonition that the success or failure of this mission hinges on this moment!

Unfortunately, the system didn't provide a Swift Sword among the equipment, otherwise he would have been more confident.

There's no other way; you can't use guns underwater, so you can only use melee weapons.

However, he still used tree branches and a steel knife to make a short spear 1 meter long, which he used as a sword.

Something is better than nothing, isn't it?

After a slight hesitation, he still threw the three pieces of jerky into his mouth.

We can never give too much importance to the unknown world.

Carrying a reed and carrying a water bottle, Jiang Baobin dived to the bottom of the pool as fast as he could.

Although his fetal breathing technique has reached the point where he can hold his breath for 40 minutes.

But we need to deduct the return trip time and leave some leeway.

So his time was only eighteen or nineteen minutes.

We successfully reached the bottom of the pool.

Then, following the winding cracks in the rocks, they carefully made their way horizontally toward the source of the warm current.

There was no light here, but the rocks were covered with a shiny substance similar to fluorite.

The path that can guide him forward.

Moreover, although he had been in this world for almost half a year, Jiang Baobin had remained thin.

So he can easily pass through narrow places.

If a fat person comes along, they're really in trouble; they'll probably get slashed all over their body!

The further you swim, the greater the resistance becomes, as the current intensifies.

As Jiang Baobin swam, his brows furrowed more and more, because a question in his mind grew heavier and heavier!

After advancing forty or fifty meters, we finally encountered a rock wall, where the water flowed to its end.

A large number of bubbles were gushing out from the cracks below the rock wall, which was clearly the source.

The undercurrent has reached its end, but the waterway has not.

Without hesitation, Jiang Baobin continued swimming forward.

This is a waterway that slopes upwards at a 45-degree angle.

Fluorite still guided the way, preventing Jiang Baobin from running headfirst into a rock.

This was clearly a deliberate arrangement by the system; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that even "streetlights" were included?

It took Jiang Baobin about ten minutes from entering the water to reaching the end of the current.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the pool Jiang Baobin dived into was about 50 meters deep.

Then, it can be calculated.

This upward-sloping waterway is about 70 meters from the rock face to the water surface.

It takes at least two or three minutes, and that's without encountering any major obstacles; otherwise, it would take even longer.

So his time is running out.

Fortunately, the system didn't make things difficult for him anymore; the waterway was wide, and he swam smoothly all the way.

The higher you go, the calmer the water becomes, and correspondingly, the lower the water temperature.

Luckily it didn't freeze, otherwise it would have been a huge problem.

If anything could be considered an obstacle, it would be the skeletons that appear from time to time.

But these remains, ironically, answered the question that had been lingering in Jiang Baobin's mind—

The two skulls in Black Dragon Pool clearly floated up from below and got stuck in the cracks in the rocks.

At such a great distance, it would be absolutely impossible for an ordinary person to cross the undercurrent and appear at the bottom of the Black Dragon Pool.

No one can breathe for that long, and no one can withstand that much water pressure.

So, the skeletons found in these waterways have already provided the answer—
