Although the sky was extraordinarily dark at this time, and the river bottom was almost pitch black, Shen Luo quickly located the general position of the black stone cluster, using his excellent memory.

He was well-prepared and directly took out a “Treasure-hunting Talisman” and a Yuan Stone from his chest.

Even though he was at the bottom of the river, the talisman that had been treated with Tung oil and affixed to his palm showed no sign of fading in its rune color.

Shen Luo breathed a silent sigh of relief and activated the Small Transformation Yang Skill.

The light on the “Treasure-hunting Talisman” flickered, but it failed to form the desired white light group, clearly indicating a failure.

A few breaths later, Shen Luo tried all the remaining “Treasure-hunting Talismans”, but unfortunately, good luck did not strike again, and the familiar scene did not reappear.

Shen Luo was not discouraged. After all, this black stone area was not large. If there really was a treasure here, it would be much easier than searching every chaotic stone pile in the river without any clues.

Just as he was about to stuff the several waste talismans back into his chest, a vortex suddenly emerged in the surrounding river, causing him to stagger a bit, and the talismans slipped out of his hand and were swept away by the surging river water.

Shen Luo ignored those wasted talismans, resurfaced to take a breath, and then continued swimming towards the black stone cluster.

One of the wasted talismans made a few circles in the river water and just happened to drift over the black stone cluster.

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A faint blue glow suddenly sprang up from a dozen black stones, forming a dark blue light curtain several meters in size and enveloping all the stones.

When the talisman collided with the blue light curtain, it silently shattered into pieces.

Shen Luo’s eyes bulged out, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

The scene before him reminded him of the array set up by Immortal Master Yu Yan to stand against the Wolf King in Dreamland.

Of course, compared to the Six Harmonies Fire Array formed by Yu Yan and others, the scope and power of this blue light curtain were incomparable.

With his eyes fixed on the blue light curtain before him, he picked up a bowl-sized stone from the river bed and threw it after a moment of contemplation.

The stone followed a curved trajectory in the water and hit the blue light curtain.

With a “bang”, the stone shattered the moment it touched the light curtain, turning into a scattering of fragments.

Seeing this, Shen Luo felt a chill in his heart. He picked up another stone from the riverbed, this one the size of a human head, and hurled it with all his might.

This much larger stone shattered upon contact with the blue light curtain. On the other hand, the blue light curtain did not move at all, not even flashing for a moment.

Without trying again, he swam toward the surface of the water, took a few deep breaths after emerging, and soon calmed his emotions.

The heavy rain was pouring down on the river surface, and the large raindrops hitting his face were quite painful. Fortunately, the speed of the river water did not change much for the time being.

After a short rest, Shen Luo dived back to the bottom of the river.

However, the blue light curtain over the black stone cluster had, unknown to him, disappeared.

All that had just happened seemed like a fleeting illusion.

Despite Shen Luo feeling strange, he didn’t rashly approach considering the power of the blue light curtain.

After a moment’s thought, he picked up another stone from the river bed and threw it forcefuly.

The moment the stone fell over the stone cluster, a faint blue light flashed on the several black stones, and several rays of light flew out, instantly forming the blue light curtain again.

The stone hit the light curtain and, once again, shattered silently into several pieces.

Shen Luo felt a shiver in his heart, a chill of fear.

This blue light curtain only concealed its traces upon disappearance and would immediately reappear if disturbed by external forces.

Shen Luo retreated a little distance under his feet, with his eyes fixed on the blue light curtain.

This black stone cluster had someone’s Array set up in it; definitely strange. The “Nameless Heavenly Book” might just be hidden here.

With this thought, he took out a “Small Thunder Talisman” and a Yuan Stone from his chest pocket.

The blue light curtain seemed invulnerable to common methods. The only means at his disposal now was the Small Thunder Talisman, which might be effective.

Shen Luo activates the Small Transformation Yang Skill, stimulating the Small Thunder Talisman.

The Small Thunder Talisman cracks open with a “sizzle” sound, and a bolt of white lightning emerges.

Shen Luo’s body immediately paralyzes, his hands and feet uncontrollably trembling, his entire body feels as if it has been cruelly stabbed with countless tiny needles, the pain is unbearable.

“Damn it, I forgot that the power of thunder and lightning can be transmitted in water…”

Although he’s still conscious, he’s extremely annoyed at himself.

However, Shen Luo doesn’t suffer for long. As soon as the white lightning appears, it immediately shoots forward, and the pain in Shen Luo’s body significantly decreases.

The white lightning instantly covers a distance of seven or eight yards, hitting the dark blue light curtain, like a white snake, ferociously drilling in.

The dark blue light curtain immediately begins to tremble violently, flickering incessantly. The already thin light curtain becomes visibly thinner at a rapid pace, seemingly about to completely dissipate.

However, at this moment, the white lightning exhausts its energy and vanishes without a trace.

Shen Luo squints his eyes, stretches his still trembling hand into his bosom, takes out a second Small Thunder Talisman, and immediately channels his energy into it.

The Small Thunder Talisman shatters upon command, and another bolt of white lightning materializes out of thin air.

Shen Luo’s body paralyzes once again, his hands and feet start to shake uncontrollably, but he pays no attention to these, his eyes are still fixated on what lies ahead.

The lightning shoots out, once again hitting the dark blue light curtain.

The already thin dark blue light curtain is hit by another bolt of white lightning and immediately begins to tremble once more, rapidly becoming even thinner. At last, with a “boom” sound, it disintegrates into numerous dark blue sparkles which dissipate into thin air.

However, right at this moment, a faint white light appears on the central black stone amongst the dozen or so, the black stone precisely located on the nose of the skull pattern. But this light swiftly fades away.

Although the appearance of the white light was exceptionally brief, it did not escape Shen Luo’s eye.

Shen Luo does not recklessly approach, picks up another stone from the riverbed, and throws it over.

This time the stone does not shatter, it lands on a black stone, rolls a bit, and falls onto the river bottom.

A gleam appears in his eyes. When he had caught his breath after emerging to the surface, he returns to the original place, swims carefreely towards the black stone that emitted the white light, and starts to search around it, examining it bit by bit.

Perhaps it was due to the heavy rain, the speed of the river’s current suddenly becomes rapid.

Shen Luo stumbles due to the force of the current, quickly grabs onto a black stone to steady himself.

He feels a chill in his heart and hurriedly accelerates the pace of his search.

At this rate, he can at most spend half an incense stick’s time searching before he must retreat, otherwise, the risks would be too great. Besides, the protective array that he had destroyed himself cannot be guaranteed to maintain its original form under the rapid currents on the second day.

Moreover, with the continuous heavy rain, it was uncertain whether it would stop on the second day.

Before long, he comes across a stony cave the size of a bowl next to a black stone.

This cave is different from the mud and stone caverns he had come across before, the entrance is smoothly curved, clearly not formed naturally, but seems to be man-made.

A joyous feeling springs up in Shen Luo’s heart, and he promptly stretches his hand into the cave.

The inner wall of the small cave is also very smooth, extending towards the underground in a cylindrical shape, filled with grit and sand.

Luckily, the grit and sand aren’t compacted so his hand can fully explore inside. After a detailed search, he finds nothing and continues to reach deeper into the cave.

The cave is quite deep. Shen Luo has to press his body against the riverbed to barely touch the bottom, where his fingers suddenly touch something hard and smooth.

Without any hesitation, he instantly grabs hold of the thing and yanks it upward with all his might.

However, the object is hidden too deep and the top is filled with grit and sand, so it offers a lot of resistance, he can’t pull it out with the first yank.

By this time, the current of the river has increased considerably, he’s almost unable to maintain his balance.

“I’m going all out!”

Shen Luo steels his heart, leans the upper half of his body on the ground, barely managing to stretch both his hands inside, grabs the object, and pulls with all his might.

With a “plop” sound, he finally manages to pull the object from the cave.
