Chapter 227: Chapter 227: The Method Works, Little Black is Rescued, Lu Chen Wounded and Unconscious Again!

Though Lu Chen had refined the Mysterious Iron Water Barrier, it was, in truth, not even a Magic Artifact.

Lu Chen had no knowledge of the Art of Refinement to begin with.

Therefore, he couldn’t shrink this huge sheet of iron to store it in his storage bag.

He had no choice but to scrape away the sand at the edge, thus reconnecting the pit with the seawater.

That was where the problem lay, for every movement caused his ribs excruciating pain.

He could have stayed put to heal, but his concern for Qin Yaotiao and the little black creature compelled him to take this risk.

Sweat beads had already formed on Lu Chen’s forehead.

But still, no water appeared.

At the time, to ensure the formidable barrier against the eight-clawed monster fish, Lu Chen had put in great effort, never imagining it would turn into such a hurdle for himself now.

"What else can I do but dig?"

Lu Chen said with a wry smile, being too deep in the sandy pit, even if he connected to the mysterious bead with his Spiritual Power, he couldn’t control the external seawater.

However, if he could just get a small hole through, that would spell success.

Persistence pays off, and after digging tirelessly for several hours, his clothes soaked with sweat-mixed sand, he finally saw seawater seeping through.

"Phew! Let’s try the mysterious bead now!"

With a thought, he paused to catch his breath and then grasped the mysterious bead, infusing it with Spiritual Power!

In an instant, a pale blue light flickered over the bead, and his body felt a strange and familiar sensation!

"Charge for me!"

Lu Chen roared inwardly, controlling the stream as thin as a finger, which seemed to emerge from a desert, using the mysterious bead.

"Whoosh—"

The sound of water rustled, instantly washing away some sand, and the stream grew a little thicker.

It was merely a drop in the bucket, but Lu Chen smiled nevertheless.

This meant he no longer needed to suffer and dig by hand.

Hope glimmered before Lu Chen, whose strength was in his inexhaustible Spiritual Power!

The Qi Sea in his Dantian was entirely filled with Water Spirit Power.

Without holding back, he controlled the water currents through the bead, persistently scouring away.

In less than half an hour, the sandy wall collapsed suddenly!

The seawater rushed in like a floodgate had opened, engulfing Lu Chen completely!

Lu Chen was tossed about like a piece of driftwood in the powerful impact of the seawater, spinning head over heels.

Yet he laughed joyously!

"Haha, I’m saved at last!"

After laughing, he steadied his form using the mysterious bead, then summoned the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, looking towards the little black creature beneath the water!

The little black creature was still unconscious.

It seemed to dislike this environment, or perhaps this water might cause further harm, as its body slowly began to twitch.

Lu Chen’s expression turned serious, "Looks like I need to hurry!"

He withdrew his gaze, looking toward the direction from which the seawater flowed, then continued to drive currents to wash away the sand!

Finally.

The seawater filled the area, restoring it to a bay, and Lu Chen hurriedly clambered onto the beach, then fully immersed his consciousness into the mysterious bead!

What came next was crucial!

He released all his Spiritual Power, condensing and compressing the seawater at the very bottom through the bead.

It wasn’t until he could no longer endure that he suddenly lifted his hands upward!

"Boom!"

A water spout burst forth from the bay!

Atop the spout, a dark shadow was clearly visible!

It was the little black creature!

Lu Chen was overjoyed, his plan had worked!

The little black creature thudded onto the beach, while Lu Chen’s own mouth bled, his body swaying!

His all-out effort to manage the water column below had severely strained his wounds!

The barely healed injuries opened once more, bleeding afresh due to the tearing!

Lu Chen swayed several times and finally collapsed to the ground, falling unconscious.

In a daze, he saw a large dark figure gently bending over, lifting him, and then stepping into a void!
