Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 299 - Waterfall Passage

Zhu Wenqian held the corpse of the Jagged Tiger tightly in joy.

She was drooling all over the place as she wondered how tender the meat would taste when it was freshly killed.

Suddenly, Zhu Wenqian narrowed her eyes as she had forgotten something.

"Don't worry, you little Jagged Tiger. This queen hasn't forgotten about you." Zhu Wenqian grinned evilly at the other injured Jagged Tiger.

The injured Jagged Tiger held a resentful gaze as it growled loudly at Zhu Wenqian.

"Tsk tsk tsk, growling at the end of your life. How unruly…" Zhu Wenqian clicked her tongue as she flicked her hand.

.

Saint Qi emitted from her hand and Zhu Wenqian flung it toward the injured Jagged Tiger.

The injured Tiger whimpered as its head got sliced off cleanly, and there wasn't much blood splatter due to Zhu Wenqian's precise control in her Saint Qi.

"Hehe, too much blood would ruin this queen's appetizer." Zhu Wenqian said as she stored the two dead Jagged Tiger in her storage ring.

Afterward, she skipped happily toward Yang Wei, who was still busy studying the waterfall.

"What are you staring at the waterfall for, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

"Don't you see the waterfall is a bit weird?" Yang Wei said as he placed his hand around the waterfall.

Feeling the cold temperature, Yang Wei squinted his eyes in suspicion.

Zhu Wenqian copied Yang Wei's action and placed her hand at the waterfall.

"Soo cool~" Zhu Wenqian uttered as she played around with it for a while.

Unlike Yang Wei who was suspicious of everything, Zhu Wenqian rather played around with a carefree attitude.

"The water is cooling and that's it, Yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian retrieved a handkerchief and wiped her hand.

"You are too serious and boring at times. There's nothing suspicious here besides your intention of wanting to see this queen's body." She added.

Yang Wei sighed softly as he decided to explain things for Zhu Wenqian to understand.

"Although the water being cool is normal, it's way too cold for a normal waterfall to have." Yang Wei said.

And he continued, "Also if you had paid close attention, the speed of the water dropping down isn't the same."

"So what if the speed of the water dripping down isn't the same?"

"The water dripping down should have the same acceleration speed."

Zhu Wenqian raised an eyebrow.

She was confused as to why Yang Wei would care about whether water is dripping at the same speed or not.

"Stop trying to act smart already, Yang Wei." Zhu Wenqian pouted angrily. "We should be trying to find a path to escape this place and not studying about some water drops."

Yang Wei facepalmed and heaved a defeated sigh.

"This is the exit path of some sort, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei suddenly said as he took a step forward.

"The water dripping down in this waterfall is accelerating at different speeds as they fall when in reality, they should be accelerating at the same speed."

Yang Wei then smiled at Zhu Wenqian, "Thus, the only logical reasoning for this is that there is something inside the waterfall that is causing this phenomenon to occur."

After that, Yang Wei activated his movement technique and crashed into the waterfall.

"Yang Wei" Zhu Wenqian panicked as she thought Yang Wei wanted to suicide.

Without thinking, Zhu Wenqian quickly chased after Yang Wei to try and rescue him.

With a swoosh, Zhu Wenqian found herself behind the waterfall and there was a passage ahead of her.

"What the hell?" Zhu Wenqian shouted in disbelief.

"Why is this world always full of some mystery crap? Not even our Saint World has this kind of crappy passage everywhere."

"It's just how this world functions, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei said as he placed his finger at the wall.

Instantly, Yang Wei could feel his finger almost getting frostbite by the cold temperature.

"As expected, the cold temperature must be emitting from the inside and causing the abnormality in the waterfall." Yang Wei mumbled.

Yang Wei then proceeded to walk ahead to try and find out what's hidden inside.

Although the passage was getting spooky, Yang Wei didn't want to go back empty-handed.

After all, he wanted to find something that could go against the Killer Bees.

'Since this was the only area that didn't have any Killer Bees nearby, then there should be something here that counters the Killer bees.' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.

Sometime later, Yang Wei felt the temperature in the passage continued to drop.

"Why is it getting colder, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian asked. She then activated her Saint Qi to keep her body at a warm temperature.

"This is probably the reason why there aren't any Killer Bees in the area." Yang Wei said as he retrieved a pill and consumed it.

Afterward, he threw the same pill toward Zhu Wenqian.

"Eat it, it will save you from using Saint Qi to keep warm." Yang Wei said.

Zhu Wenqian narrowed her eyes as she glanced at the pill.

"Are you sure this isn't some kind of aphrodisiac?" She teased.

"Seriously? When have I ever lusted after you, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei scolded as he couldn't understand her behavior.

Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders. "Tch, at times like this, it's better to crack some jokes than act serious all the time."

She then consumed the pill without hesitation and stayed close to Yang Wei.

Sometime later, Yang Wei saw some sort of light coming out from the end of the passage.

Without hesitating, Yang Wei quickly sped up his pace to check what's inside that could cause the temperature to nearly reach sub-zero.

"What the…" Yang Wei was dumbfounded when there wasn't anything inside the passage except for a giant egg in the middle of the room.

"What kind of egg can emit such a cold temperature?" Yang Wei muttered as he tried to step closer.

However, his movement halted when he realized his legs were slowly turning to ice.

Zhu Wenqian narrowed her eyes as she quickly dragged Yang Wei back. "Careful, the temperature changes drastically there."
