【Name】：Water Rhinoceros Armor 【Attributes】：Mechanical, Water 【Racial Rank】：Low-Rank Monarch 【Strength Rank】：Mid-Rank Lord 【Racial Skills】：Armor Donning, Water Jet, Blade Armor, Armor Transformation...

[Evaluation]: A very rare armor-type mechanical superhuman life form that allows beast tamers to wear. It enables beast tamers to move freely in water and also displays the terrifying strength of a rhinoceros on land, as well as the destructive power of a rhinoceros's full-force charge.

envious.

Looking at the information about the Water Rhinoceros Armor displayed in the encyclopedia, Yun Che was genuinely envious.

If his envy was only subtle, then Kongkong's was overt, an undisguised display of envy.

This includes ducks, of course.

The two little creatures couldn't help but imagine how cool they would look wearing such armor...

I dare not even think about it, I absolutely dare not even think about it.

The two little guys who were previously at odds have now become "good brothers" who admire the armor together, giving off a strong sense of déjà vu... of the armor we used to follow together back then.

Entering the water.

Yun Che and Dr. Niu sat on Crab Three's back.

Under the protection of the duck's spiritual power, Kongkong and Yaya were separated from the water flow.

On the left is Lan Xiangya, perched on the back of the handsome Wind Demon Butterfly Salamander.

On the right is Lu Zhou, dressed in even more dashing water rhinoceros armor and carrying a giant hammer.

We followed the riverbed downstream.

I have to say, this configuration... is indeed reassuring.

After seeing the information about the Water Rhinoceros Armor, Yun Che roughly judged that Lu Zhou should be at least a junior master beast tamer, just like Lan Xiangya.

One legendary beast tamer, two novice master beast tamers... what a lineup!

Even if we really run into those overlords in Huaijiang, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

In short.

It's definitely safer to follow Dr. Niu.

"Roar..." (Iris should see this too...)

Kongkong, entering the underwater world for the first time, lay on the "bubbles" made by the ducks, full of curiosity about the underwater world.

Various kinds of fish, shrimp, crabs, as well as algae, snails, clams, and turtles.

Some were just ordinary creatures, but there were also extraordinary ones. Some hid under thick silt, some were hidden in dense aquatic plants, and most of them ran away as soon as they saw Yun Che and his group of alien creatures.

Of course, there are also those that are not afraid of them, and some even show their ferocity and prepare to attack because of their territory, most of which are shrimp and crabs.

Upon seeing these "shrimp soldiers and crab generals," a thought involuntarily surfaced in Yun Che's mind.

Could there be a dragon palace underwater?

Even if there isn't any in the river.

Could they be in the ocean?

Humans in the past failed to fully explore the ocean. In this world with extraordinary powers, the sea is teeming with countless enormous and extraordinary creatures.

Even without the so-called "Dragon Palace," there would probably still be a powerful force of extraordinary beings.

Not to mention the ocean, even in rivers, there are extraordinary creatures, or rather, groups of them.

This is not.

When Yun Che and his group descended, they entered the territory of a group of wild extraordinary creatures.

Those were a group of extraordinary fish, somewhat resembling the famous "water tiger" fish, and their name, Tiger Head Tuna, lived up to that nickname. Seven or eight of them had gathered together and surrounded Yun Che and his companions, treating them as prey.

The leader of them was even at the level of a mid-level lord.

With a length exceeding two meters, it is undoubtedly a behemoth in this body of water.

However, they clearly chose the wrong hunting targets.

Lan Xiangya's Wind Demon Salamander and Lu Zhou, clad in Water Rhinoceros Armor, easily defeated the group of Tiger Head Turtles.

As they continued to descend deeper, they encountered fewer ordinary fish and more extraordinary creatures, especially some snails and clams.

Yun Che also saw a supernatural creature called the "Treasure Clam".

This precious clam can produce a pearl of very high value. If it is cultivated properly and enough resources are invested, it can even produce a resource called "Dragon Ball" if you are lucky.

The name "Dragon Ball" implies that it contains rare dragon-attribute energy, but not much of it.

At night, it emits a fluorescent glow that can vaguely form the shadow of a dragon, making it very popular among the wealthy.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a king of a certain period had a very rare "dragon pearl" adorning his crown.

As a result, there are many farms that specialize in breeding these "precious clams," which has also spawned many derivative industries such as clam gambling and pearl guessing.

Yun Che wasn't particularly interested in pearls or Dragon Balls.

But I have a tiny bit of interest in this kind of aquaculture industry that can make a lot of money, such as farming "precious clams".

After dealing with the fish and passing through an area teeming with snails and clams, we arrived at a deep ditch beneath the riverbed.

As Dr. Niu had mentioned in the car, their destination was located at the bottom of this deep ravine.

Without much hesitation, everyone went deeper into the cave.

Lu Zhou activated the illumination resonance on his water rhinoceros armor, and the entire suit of armor emitted a fluorescent glow, illuminating the waters below the deep ditch.

Glug glug—

In the deep ditch, several huge bubbles would occasionally rise up.

After entering the deep ravine, Lan Xiangya and Lu Zhou were on high alert.

According to Dr. Niu and his team's initial exploration, some extremely powerful wild supernatural creature should be inhabiting the bottom of this deep ravine.

Yun Che also tried to mobilize the power of the Everlasting Rock to sense the surrounding situation.

However, without the support of the forest in the water, the range of the power of the Everlasting is also very limited.

Fortunately.

Without encountering any major setbacks, Yun Che and his group finally arrived at a passage in the deep ravine cliff according to the location and entered it.

In the dimly lit passage, moisture filled the air, and water droplets dripped from the cave ceiling. Unidentified plants, emitting a faint fluorescent glow, grew here, providing a little light to the dark cave.

Splash—

Lu Zhou, clad in water rhinoceros armor, emerged from the water, holding an instrument in his hand.

After confirming the readings on the instrument, he waved behind him.

Then Yun Che, Dr. Niu, Lan Xiangya and the others arrived at the cave.

"The air in the air chamber doesn't change much. Although it smells a bit unpleasant, it's breathable and non-toxic," Lu Zhou said.

They had already verified it when they came last time, but just to be on the safe side, Lu Zhou tested it again.

"Roar~"

Kongkong immediately landed on Yun Che's shoulder.

It felt really fun when I first got in the water, but after a while... it just wasn't that great.

"Be careful, everyone," Dr. Niu reminded them, taking out a flashlight he had prepared beforehand and walking towards the air chamber.

Although this wasn't their first time here, we still need to remain vigilant.

Moreover, this air chamber is not entirely devoid of life.

at first.

Yun Che walked through the passageway of the air chamber, not feeling much yet.

But as he delved deeper, he gradually felt a sense of surprise.

They saw some plants.

Seeing plants is perfectly normal, but... these plants are clearly different from the ones we've encountered along the way, and they're clustered together, subtly forming some kind of ecosystem.

An ecosystem that doesn't belong to this era.

Dr. Niu's research topic is "The difference between the extraordinary biological ecology of three thousand years ago and the extraordinary biological ecology of today", so he needs to find some environments that do not exist in the present era.

Yun Che was still very curious about how Dr. Niu and his team found this place.

puffing-puffing-puffing

Suddenly, an insect flew by, and Kongkong and Yaya immediately became alert.

"Don't be nervous," Dr. Niu said with a smile. "These are fluorescent beetles, extraordinary creatures that are not commonly seen nowadays. The special fluorescence they emit provides these plants with the light they need to grow."

The fluorescent beetle provides light, which promotes plant growth, and then the plant produces food that feeds back to the fluorescent beetle.

This creates a very simple and monotonous loop.

That's why there's air in this air chamber.

Of course, there's definitely more than just this one link, but Dr. Niu is clearly more knowledgeable about these aspects.

As they ventured deeper inside, Dr. Niu began to describe the environment and conditions within the gas chamber as if he knew them intimately.

With the appearance of plants, Yun Che's Everlasting Power became active.

He had a... strange feeling, a strange sensation that was hard to describe.

Upon arriving at a relatively large space, Dr. Niu immediately began data collection and sample gathering.

As an assistant, Yun Che also began his work.

Soil, fresh plant leaves and roots, fallen and withered leaves and branches, and even the shells and remains of organisms.

"pottery figurine?"

While collecting the materials, Yun Che noticed a broken terracotta figurine under an unidentified plant about three meters tall, covered with withered leaves and soil.

Why are there terracotta figurines here?

"Watch out!" Dr. Niu shouted almost immediately upon hearing his voice.

Buzz the next second.

A strange light appeared in the eyes of the seemingly worn and ancient terracotta figurine.

Alive?!
