Chapter 60: Skeleton of the Jiao beast, a branch of the dragon clan!

"Lin, you're not really going to enter this cold pond, are you?"

EVA appeared again. Although her figure disappeared from Lin Yiming's sight, she had actually been observing him secretly.

"I always feel that there is something wrong with this cold pond. Logically, there should be strange beasts living near the water source, but it is so dead silent here that my spiritual sense cannot sense any strange beasts' activities around."

"So that's the reason. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" EVA tilted her head and continued, "The reason why there are no other exotic beasts living nearby is actually very simple. They don't dare to."

"Don't dare?" Lin Yiming asked curiously, "Why don't you dare?"

"Because this kind of cold pond is usually where Jiao beasts live. Although they are Jiao beasts, they also have dragon genes in their blood." Speaking of this, EVA spread her hands and said, "The dragon race is one of the top races. The strange beasts in this simple level blocking area will instinctively feel fear and dare not approach."

"Jiao beast?" Lin Yiming's eyes flashed: "Are you saying that there are Jiao beasts living at the bottom of this cold pond now?"

"Idiot, of course not!" EVA tapped Lin Yiming's head with her hand and looked at him as if he were an idiot: "If there really is a dragon beast living at the bottom of this cold pond, how come you have been standing here for so long and there is no movement?"

"Since there are no dragon beasts living here, why don't other beasts dare to approach?"

"Just because there are none now doesn't mean there weren't any before. Even if the Jiao beast stayed in this cold pond for a day, it would still leave its scent. The remaining scent alone is enough to prevent other exotic beasts from approaching. After all, the exotic beasts in this blocked area are too weak in both race strength and their own strength."

"Can the residual aura alone have such a pressure on other strange beasts?" Lin Yiming couldn't help but click his tongue.

EVA nodded and explained, "That's natural. After all, Jiao beasts are also considered a branch of the dragon clan. Some Jiao beasts can even return to their ancestral bloodline and become Jiao dragons after practicing to a certain level!"

Lin Yiming stared at the bottom of the cold pond.

If there really was a dragon beast that once lived at the bottom of this cold pond, would it have left behind something containing its genetic material?
Shed skin?

Fallen dragon whiskers?
In short, it would be great if we could obtain the genetic material of the Jiao beast!
"EVA, where would the dragon beast that lives here go? From what you said just now, there shouldn't be any other exotic beasts that would take the initiative to provoke it. Why would it leave its habitat?" He didn't understand why the dragon beast would leave for no reason.

"Either he's dead or he's been caught."

"Caught?"

"Well, after all, live dragon beasts are invaluable commodities in the black market. Moreover, this blocked area was open to the public before the academy took over. If there really were live dragon beasts living here, it would be normal for them to be captured by human psychics."

"Ok."

Hearing EVA say this, Lin Yiming nodded and pondered.

"Yesterday I thought you had discovered something here. If I had known that you were curious because there were no exotic animals living here, I would have explained it to you yesterday, and you wouldn't have had to waste your time coming here again."

EVA couldn't help but sigh, regretting not asking a few more questions yesterday.

She looked at Lin Yiming, who was staring at the bottom of the pool, and asked again, "What's wrong? You don't want to go down and take a look, do you?"

Lin Yiming hummed.

Now that I’m here, I must go down and take a look!
"I really admire you!" EVA covered her face helplessly.

Lin Yiming reached out and pressed the button of the combat uniform at his neck. The black combat uniform instantly extended out, protecting every part of his body.

The combat suit was waterproof, but due to the lack of oxygen underwater, he had to return to the surface within a limited time. He put his backpack aside, still carrying the obsidian gun on his back, and then jumped into the cold pool in front of him.

"thump--"

The water splashed, and the originally calm surface of the lake was centered on the point of entry into the water, with layers of ripples flowing around, creating a unique beauty.

EVA's virtual figure stayed by the pond. She really wanted to follow Lin Yiming down to take a look, but the tablet carrying her was placed in a backpack by the pond.

In the cold pond.

Although he was wrapped in a black combat uniform, Lin Yiming still felt a biting chill all over his body. This biting chill lasted for a while before gradually easing.

He can now hold his breath for about ten minutes, so that means he must return to the ground within ten minutes.

The cold pond is very deep and you can’t see the bottom.

Lin Yiming quickly went to the bottom. Jiao beasts usually live at the bottom of cold ponds, so if he wanted to find something that might contain genetic material, he had to reach the bottom.

This cold pond is located halfway up the mountain, about two hundred meters from the bottom of the mountain.

He had dived to a depth of more than one hundred meters at this time, but still had not reached the bottom of the pool. This meant that this cold pool actually led directly to the bottom of the mountain and might even be deeper.

The lower you get, the colder it gets.

"No wonder strange beasts like dragons and snakes like to live in places like this. The temperature environment in the cold pond is really suitable for them to practice!" Lin Yiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At the same time, the bottom of the cold pond finally appeared in his sight.

"There are skeletons!" His eyes were instantly attracted by the huge skeleton at the bottom, and he continued to swim towards the skeleton with his legs: "Could it be that the dragon beast living here was not captured alive by other superpowers, but died at the bottom of the pool?"

At the bottom of this cold pond, the skeleton of a dragon beast lies there quietly. Its once huge and majestic body is now in ruins, and its bones are covered with a thick layer of moss.

The winding skeleton seemed to still be telling of the past glory and magnificence. On the skeleton, dozens of long bone spurs protruded, revealing a sense of desolation and tragedy.

Lin Yiming was shocked.

This was the first time he was shocked by the skeleton of a dead strange beast, and it was just the skeleton of a dragon beast that had not reverted to its original form and transformed into a dragon.

If what he saw was a real dragon skeleton, he couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like.

The dragon race is indeed one of the top races!

After calming down, Lin Yiming did not delay any longer and tried to put the dragon beast skeleton into the gestation space.

Looking at the skeleton that disappeared from the bottom of the pool and was sleeping peacefully on the ground of the gestation space, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It worked!
He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he would actually obtain the genetic material of the Jiao beast, and even a complete Jiao beast skeleton!

Lin Yiming continued to search around the bottom of the pool, but found nothing. There was almost enough time left to dive up, so he ended the search and swam towards the pool mouth.
