Chapter 2276  Discovery And Bloodline Improvement

Ziran was feeling a sensation he had not felt for a very long time.

The blood within his body was pumping rapidly while his eyes continued to bleed. And yet, he felt no pain. Instead, it felt rather refreshing to him, as if impurities were being cleared out.

"I can see it!" Ziran finally exclaimed. "I can see it all!" ~SHUA~

Hearing that, Lin Mu quickly withdrew the Sword Intent. Now that Ziran had reached the level he needed to, keeping the pressure on him might just harm him further.

And sure enough, once step pressure was lifted, Ziran could breathe better and took a proper look around.

He saw the endless pressures that extended to the very limit of his vision as well as the land that had been tainted by the Death Qi. No chimeric beasts could be seen and nor were there any remains, as they had all been destroyed by the Death Qi.

But in all this, he realized something.

"The Death Qi… it"s not being released anymore." Ziran revealed.

"It"s not?" Lin Mu was surprised. "No… the fissures no longer release the Death Qi. I can"t see any geysers either." Ziran replied. "The Death Qi that we"re seeing is merely the one that is lingering." He added.

"I see… that"s good then. It means that the Death Qi might finally start dissipating from this point onwards." Lin Mu said feeling relieved. "What about the Chimeric seed?" he asked next.

"I can"t see it." Ziran shook his head. "Is it too far?" Lin Mu inquired.

"No, I would have been able to see it. The Bridge Plane is flat, so my vision can extend past way more than it would on a spherical world." Ziran replied. "Plus Eyes of the Underdark enhance the range of vision too, so I would definitely see something that stands out in the Death Qi." He stated.

"Ah yeah, the Chimeric Qi is different than Death Qi after all." Lin Mu nodded his head. "But you can"t see it?" "No… though." Ziran narrowed his eyes slightly. "The place where the Chimeric Seed was released… I can definitely see a crater there." He added.

Lin Mu rubbed his beard that had grown in these six months, hearing that.

"The Chimeric Seed probably sank down. Don"t forget it is supposed to grow into a Chimeric Plant." Xukong reminded him.

"Of course." Lin Mu noddy his head in understanding.

"Wait! I see something more." Ziran suddenly added.

"What is it?" Lin Mu asked.

"It"s… A river?" Ziran said in surprise.

"A river? What kind and where is it even coming from?" Lin Mu was sure there was no river in that direction.

"It"s coming from far in the direction of the crater but its water is utterly black." Ziran answered.

"Hmm… Perhaps the Chimeric Seed is deep in the ground now. That crater is now the lowest point so a river probably started to flow somehow." Lin Mu said after thinking for a bit.

"Perhaps." Ziran said before trembling. "Ugh…" He closed his eyes and held his forehead that was now aching.

"Are you okay?" Lin Mu asked in concern.

Ziran didn"t reply right away, and instead took out a small succulent leaf that he quickly chewed. ~huu~

After having eaten that, he let out a breath of relief.

"Mother was right… The better the Eyes of the Underdark the stronger the headache." Ziran said wiping away the trails of blood on his face. "Will you be fine?" Lin Mu asked. "Yeah, I took some medicine." Ziran nodded his head, finally opening his eyes.

Seeing his eyes though, Lin Mu was surprised. "Your eyes… They"ve changed…" Lin Mu informed.

"Huh?" Ziran took out a mirror and glanced at himself, finding that his eyes were no longer the same as before.

They originally used to be a light brown color, but now had a red color around outer edge.

"Is it due to the skill?" Lin Mu asked, knowing that some Bloodline Skills could indeed bring about changes.

"Yeah, though I didn"t expect it to reflect this way." Ziran replied. "It actually changed my eyes to match my Dark Elven bloodline." He added.

"Dark elves have red eyes?" Lin Mu asked.

"Several of them do yes." Ziran nodded his head. "I should"ve had them from the start, but since Wood Elves have brown eyes and humans can also have brown eyes, my Dark Elven eye color was probably suppressed." He explained.

"I see…" Lin Mu was interested in hearing that.

Ziran looks at his eyes for a good minute before finally putting the mirror away.

"Looks like I"ll have to pay mother a visit. She always wondered what I"d look like if I had eyes like her." Ziran muttered.

"Of course, you can." Lin Mu said. "But first we have to get out of here."

"Haha, yes." Ziran chuckled. "Which seems a lot more hopeful now." He added.

Since the Death Qi geysers were no longer being released it meant that the dissipation rate of the Qi would finally be greater.

"Did you see the Death Qi being absorbed anywhere?" Lin Mu asked thinking of the Chimeric Seed.

"Strangely enough, no." Ziran shook his head. "Isn"t the Chimeric Seed supposed to absorb all kinds of energies?" He asked.

"Yeah." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Perhaps there"s more to it than we know." "Could be," Ziran knew that this was all too unknown to them, thus they"ll just have to see it all with their own two eyes. "We should probably go inform the others first."

"Yes." Lin Mu agreed and the two quickly returned to the base.

And much to their convenience, everyone was already gathered in the meeting hall.

"Oh, you all are here." Ziran had thought that they"d have to call everyone first.

"How could we not, when the alarm rang?" Crown Princess Shang stated.

"Ah…" Lin Mu then understood what probably happened.

"The sword intent was quite strong." Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "Almost made me think we were being attacked." He stated.
