Changbai Mountain's temperature is only around ten degrees Celsius year-round, and the water temperature is even colder, only four to five degrees.
Moreover, the deeper one dives, the colder the water becomes.
After diving more than ten meters, Lin Hao already felt the water was very chilly.
Fortunately, the lake water here was very clear, and his vision was still decent even underwater.
As the rumors outside suggested, there were no fish living in the Tianchi Lake of Changbai Mountain.
Lin Hao had already dived nearly twenty meters deep, only occasionally encountering a few strangely shaped fish swimming by.
However, he wasn't diving to admire the lakebed scenery; he was searching for dragon saliva.
According to the hexagrams, the dragon saliva was in this very lake.
Lin Hao believed that as long as he searched carefully and patiently, it shouldn't be too difficult to find.
Even if it were at the bottom of the lake, it wouldn't be an issue.
This lake, though the deepest in China, only reached over three hundred meters at its deepest point.
When he used to free-dive, he could already descend over a hundred meters, let alone now with diving equipment.
With diving gear, over three hundred meters wouldn't be a difficult task for him.
Lin Hao continued to descend while pondering these thoughts.
Tang Ziyuan and Wang Dacong, watching from the shore, were filled with worry.
Although Tang Ziyuan found Lin Hao very hypocritical, Lin Hao was currently diving into the water to find the dragon saliva for her.
If anything were to happen to him, her conscience wouldn't be able to bear it.
As for Wang Dacong, he had long since regarded Lin Hao as his idol.
If his idol were in trouble, how could he not be worried and anxious?
"Sister-in-law, oh no, Miss Tang, will Brother Lin be alright? I just have a bad feeling," Wang Dacong turned to Tang Ziyuan and couldn't help but say.
"How could anything happen to him? He has a Pure Yang destiny; he can't die even if he wanted to!" Tang Ziyuan said, looking at the spot where Lin Hao had dived into the lake, with a cold snort.
"Pure Yang destiny? What is Pure Yang destiny? Is it that awesome?" Wang Dacong looked at Tang Ziyuan, astonished.
"I don't know either, but he just won't die," Tang Ziyuan replied somewhat impatiently.
It wasn't that she was too lazy to explain to Wang Dacong, but she genuinely didn't know.
The fact that he had a strong Pure Yang destiny and couldn't die was something she had heard from her grandmother; beyond that, she knew nothing.
Seeing that Tang Ziyuan was a little displeased, Wang Dacong didn't dare to say any more.
He had personally witnessed Tang Ziyuan sometimes leaving Lin Hao speechless.
Such a formidable woman, he dared not provoke her. He felt he was more suited to internet celebrities.
Those internet celebrity girls did whatever he asked and were very obedient; that was more his type.
As Wang Dacong thought about these things, he felt a tickle of desire.
However, his expression immediately changed.
He saw the rope tied to Lin Hao rapidly descending.
Tang Ziyuan also saw this, and her face instantly changed.
"Did something happen!?" Tang Ziyuan looked at Wang Dacong, anxiously saying, "Quick, ask Xiao Hei if something happened!?"
"I... I'll ask right away."
Wang Dacong, saying this, quickly shouted to Xiao Hei on the inflatable boat in the lake.
Hearing Wang Dacong's shout, Xiao Hei looked up at Wang Dacong and Tang Ziyuan and said, "Senior Brother is diving, don't worry, he's fine."
"Got it."
Wang Dacong replied to Xiao Hei, then exhaled, patting his chest and saying, "It's good that he's fine, it's good that he's fine."
"Why are you so timid, like a woman?" Tang Ziyuan looked at the trembling Wang Dacong with disdain.
Wang Dacong was stunned. Didn't she seem even more nervous than him just now?
However, Wang Dacong knew Tang Ziyuan was not to be trifled with, so he gave a simple smile and then turned his gaze back to the lake.
Underwater.
Lin Hao had already descended over eighty meters.
Yet, he still hadn't seen any trace of the dragon saliva.
But he wasn't anxious. Since the hexagrams indicated the dragon saliva was here, it must be here.
Thinking this, Lin Hao prepared to dive deeper.
But just then, Lin Hao's brow suddenly furrowed, and a sense of danger surged through him.
He instinctively looked in the direction of the approaching danger.
Upon seeing it, he was stunned into place!
A dragon!
A giant dragon was swimming towards him!
No!
That's not right!
After a brief moment of stunned disbelief, Lin Hao suddenly felt something was amiss.
This was not a dragon.
Lin Hao realized that the giant dragon-like creature swimming towards him, while closely resembling the mythical divine dragon of legend, differed significantly in details.
The horns on this creature's head were very short, and between its eyes was a protruding bone-like structure.
Furthermore, the claws on its four feet were not separated but were webbed like a duck's feet.
Lin Hao observed the creature carefully, and a name suddenly popped into his mind—a Flood Dragon!
Yes, a Flood Dragon!
Lin Hao carefully recalled the records of Flood Dragons in ancient texts and found that the creature before him bore a striking resemblance to the Flood Dragons described in those ancient texts.
If nothing unexpected happened, this creature before him should be the legendary Flood Dragon.
Knowing what this creature was, Lin Hao was filled with shock.
Flood Dragons were things that only existed in legends.
He never expected to encounter one today.
Moreover, if such creatures as Flood Dragons existed in this world, then the ancient texts stating that a Flood Dragon cultivates for a thousand years, transforms into a dragon, and enters the sea, must also be true.
This meant that the divine dragons of myth and legend were not mere figments of people's imaginations but were real.
As Lin Hao pondered these thoughts, he couldn't help but become excited.
If he could encounter a Flood Dragon today, he would surely be able to find the legendary divine dragon in the future.
At that time, he would definitely get a good look at the divine dragon of legend.
However, as Lin Hao was thinking this, an extreme sense of danger suddenly struck him.
Lin Hao was startled and instinctively retreated.
At the same time, he saw the Flood Dragon's nostrils forcefully spew out a water sword, directly attacking the spot where Lin Hao had been standing!
Seeing this scene, Lin Hao's eyes sharpened. Fortunately, he had dodged quickly, otherwise, with just one strike like this, the Flood Dragon would have pierced his heart.
"Hiss!"
Seeing its attack miss, the Flood Dragon seemed to become enraged. It suddenly opened its mouth and spewed another water sword towards Lin Hao!
Simultaneously, its enormous body began to swim rapidly towards Lin Hao.
Lin Hao was startled and dared not be careless, immediately diving to evade.
However, just as he dodged the water sword, the Flood Dragon had already reached him.
At the same time, the Flood Dragon suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its scarlet tongue, and lunged towards Lin Hao.
Seeing this, Lin Hao's hair stood on end!
