Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi swam for a while and suddenly found a large dark shadow below, which was incompatible with the surrounding environment. He swiped his arm casually and swam downward.

As the distance got closer, Lin Yi could see more clearly. The black shadow below was actually a large raised rock, but the color of the rock was different from the surroundings.

Lin Yi continued to dive and soon reached the bottom of the water. He slowly slid along the edge of the rock for a short distance and found something different.

There is a small area on this raised black rock wall that is shaped like quicksand, flowing slowly!

This quicksand-like area was only slightly larger than Lin Yi's body. It seemed that it was a portal.

Lin Yi did not rush over hastily, but slowly approached the area, getting closer bit by bit.

Lin Yi had to be more cautious. After all, the situation was unknown and he could not take risks easily.

However, this was of no use. Before Lin Yi could get close enough, a suction force suddenly came from the quicksand, pulling Lin Yi and drifting in.

Lin Yi could still escape if he struggled, but there was no warning in the jade pendant space, so he simply relaxed his body and allowed the pulling force to pull him into it.

Lin Yi seemed to have entered a real quicksand, being pulled in slowly. The feeling of being tightly wrapped and compressed made Lin Yi suffocated.

Lin Yi relied on his physical strength, so after a little discomfort, he successfully passed through this quicksand-like barrier.

But immediately, Lin Yi felt his body sink and fell from the air instantly.

The lightning arc flashed, and Lin Yi landed lightly on the ground. The inside of the black rock was extremely dry, with no moisture at all.

Suddenly coming here from the water, Lin Yi was still a little uncomfortable.

Looking up, Lin Yi found that the inside of this huge rock was quite huge, much larger than what he had seen outside before!

"What is this? A cage?"

Lin Yi looked back and discovered that there were many thick metal bars behind him, forming a prison-like place.

It was pitch black behind the metal bar, and he couldn't see anything clearly. His consciousness couldn't penetrate it, and he couldn't figure out what was inside.

"Isn't there some treasure or good thing here, but something is imprisoned here?"

Lin Yi looked at the thick metal bar suspiciously. If a person was imprisoned inside, it seemed a little too big. Could it not be a person?

Lin Yi looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he walked towards the cage, stood under the thick metal bars, and looked inside.

The thick darkness seemed to be gradually receding. After Lin Yi slowly adapted to the darkness, he finally could see clearly what was going on inside.

A majestic black lion lay quietly inside, seeming to feel Lin Yi's gaze, and opened its eyes indifferently.

Cold and ruthless eyes passed over Lin Yi's body, and a real sense of crisis suddenly surged like a tide.

Amidst the loud noise, the metal railing in front of Lin Yi severely blocked a black invisible attack wave!

Although the metal pole was not broken, Lin Yi was severely shocked!

"Shadow Devouring Lion!"

The ghost exclaimed, never expecting to see such a thing in this place.

Lin Yi's luck was either very good or very bad. If he took a chance, he would encounter an enemy of this level!

Fortunately, the Shadow God-Eating Lion was imprisoned inside, otherwise Lin Yi would have been killed as soon as he entered, without even having time to react.

Lin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He was really scared. Why do he always encounter beings that are much more powerful than him recently?

Lin Yi had always felt that he could leapfrog his opponents and use his trump cards to kill higher-level opponents, so he was a little proud. It was only now that Lin Yi truly understood his own strength. He was still nothing in front of a truly powerful opponent.

"Senior Ghost, the Shadow Devouring Lion is also a dark monster? What's its strength?"

Lin Yi calmed down and did not retreat. Instead, he looked into the shadow-devouring lion's indifferent eyes through the metal railing.

"Yes, the Shadow God-Eating Lion is a relatively powerful type of dark beast. They have an innate ability to annihilate the surrounding divine consciousness. Because this place has the effect of blocking the divine consciousness, you cannot release the divine consciousness. You won’t be able to experience the horror of annihilation.”

The ghost said very solemnly, seeming to be very afraid of the Shadow God-Eating Lion.

After pondering for a while, Guidong continued: "As for strength, the combat power of this adult shadow-devouring lion should not be inferior to... the white tiger."

The ghost thought for a while before taking out the white tiger for comparison. Lin Yi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

White Tiger is the second-most expert among the four elders of the Spiritual Beast Clan, second only to Suzaku. This Shadow Devouring God Lion can be compared to White Tiger, so one can imagine how powerful it is.

"The Shadow God-Eating Lion is so powerful, why is it imprisoned here? And who, He Dehe, set up a cage?"

Lin Yi was immediately shocked.

"Human, get out of here right now!"

The Shadow God-Eating Lion suddenly spoke, and a low and cold voice suddenly rumbled in the space.

Lin Yi curled his lips, "What's wrong with this? Can't you just talk nicely?" It has to be like thunder, who are you trying to scare? What a great voice!

"Why is a trapped beast in a cage so arrogant?"

Lin Yi smiled carelessly, the Shadow Devouring Lion was trapped and couldn't get out, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Go away! What qualifications does a mere human ant have to speak in front of me!"

The Shadow God-Eating Lion opened its mouth and roared, and several more black shock waves hit the metal railings, forming waves of vibrations, but unfortunately none of them penetrated the railings.

I don’t know what material this railing is made of, but it’s incredibly hard.

"Hey, the strength of this Shadow God-devouring Lion is not that great! Although its strength is still at that level, its body is quite weak, at most it is at the level of the early stage of the sea rift! It seems that this cage has the function of weakening the strength. , if you can kill him, you may gain a lot."

The ghost let out a startled sound, and then became a little excited.

The Shadow God-Eating Lion in its prime state was no match for Lin Yi. Any roar could kill Lin Yi.

But now facing the weak Shadow God-devouring Lion, there may not be a chance to kill it!

There are still many good things in the Shadow God-Eating Lion, which may improve Lin Yi's strength, and may lead to new breakthroughs.

Lin Yi looked at the cage and felt a little unconvinced, "Senior Ghost, you better be more reliable. This cage can weaken the Shadow God-Eating Lion. If I go in, it might also weaken me. This is what I want to give it." What about a meal? Besides, when I went in, if this guy rushed out and suddenly regained his strength, wouldn’t everyone around here be completely useless?”
