Just as Yi Shuihan was about to leave to see other places, a strange scene unfolded. The victorious dinosaur suddenly let out a deafening roar, and along with its roar, the other dinosaurs watching also made similar roars, and an eerie atmosphere began to appear.

Under Yi Shuihan's astonished gaze, the defeated dinosaur's corpse began to glow with a white light. Then, a transparent dinosaur, exactly the same as it was before it was injured, floated out of its body. This was its soul. It struggled and was eventually absorbed into the victorious dinosaur's body.

Strange changes began to occur. The dinosaur that had absorbed the soul began to recover from its wounds at a visible speed, and its aura began to grow stronger.

"Interesting. This kind of improvement is greater than the two of them combined. Is this a chemical reaction that increases strength exponentially?"

For some reason, Yi Shuihan suddenly thought of raising Gu, putting a group of poisonous creatures together, letting them fight and devour each other until only the strongest one remained.

Most of the dinosaurs below were only around Iron 4-star according to general standards, which meant they were beasts much stronger than ordinary people. However, the dinosaur that absorbed the soul had its aura stabilize and its aura changed from 4-star to Iron 5-star, more than doubling. If this kind of thing is common on this planet, then there must be even stronger ones on the entire planet, perhaps even at the Bronze level.

Even more so, if the entire planet were wiped out and only one dinosaur remained, how powerful would it be? Perhaps it would be comparable to silver.

"Is it a special talent of the race, or is it accomplished through a special method?"

If it's a racial talent, then it's not really beneficial to Yi Shuihan; he can only treat it as a strange and unusual event. But if it's a special method, then it's interesting. He can use this method to enhance his strength or cultivate powerful individuals.

The victorious dinosaur unleashed its power without restraint, its imposing presence constantly intimidating its kin. Many of the other dinosaurs gradually lowered their heads, seemingly in submission.

Under normal circumstances, what follows would likely be a drama of someone becoming king.

"boom"

An overwhelming sense of oppression instantly enveloped the surrounding area. The dinosaur, which was enjoying the fruits of its victory, was immediately crushed to the ground by this pressure. Before it could even feel anger, the immense pressure caused its body to give way, and its bones creaked as if they were about to burst at any moment.

Endless fear enveloped the entire land. Faced with this gap, which was even greater than the abyss, their instinct for life prevented them from even having the slightest thought of resistance.

"Now, I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them!"

Yi Shuihan's meaning resonated directly in the minds of these dinosaurs.

Having controlled the oppressive force, forcing the most powerful dinosaur to barely speak, Yi Shuihan began his interrogation journey.

Fifteen minutes later, Yi Shuihan finally got the answer he wanted, albeit with some difficulty. Even though he could understand the language of these dinosaurs, the whole communication was still quite difficult. After all, the intelligence was not equal, and it was hard to make a mentally challenged person understand the thoughts of a smart person.

After leaving the previous place, Yi Shuihan arrived at a large canyon, which was the source that the dinosaur had told him about.

That dinosaur didn't actually have this power from the beginning. It came here by chance, and no one knows what happened to it. After it went out, it discovered that it had the ability to become stronger through killing. It was originally a relatively weak member of its species, which can be seen from its size.

While it's not entirely true that larger size equates to greater strength, it is true in most cases on this planet.

The dinosaur itself had also encountered a fortuitous encounter, almost achieving a successful comeback. Just now was the moment when it reached the pinnacle of its dragon life, but it was interrupted by Yi Shuihan.

According to the dinosaur, Yi Shuihan deduced that there must be a precious treasure that influenced it, giving it that special ability. The fact that such a change could occur from just an influence naturally caught Yi Shuihan's attention, which led him to come here to search for the treasure.

It was midnight, but there was no moon on this planet. Only some special plants emitted a faint light, filling the entire Grand Canyon with a mysterious atmosphere.

Yi Shuihan does not rely on his eyes, but his eyes can still clearly see everything in this environment.

He had intended to take out a bottle of the Sun's Gift, but suddenly felt it was inappropriate and immediately abandoned the idea. Not only that, he also landed on the ground and slowly walked through the canyon.

The Grand Canyon was very quiet, and even in the quiet, Yi Shuihan could clearly hear his footsteps.

In the dead of night, the Grand Canyon and the Yi River seem somewhat out of place, like a beautiful painting that has been abruptly defaced.

"It's roughly around here."

Yi Shuihan straightened up slightly, carefully observing the changes around him, not missing a single discordant point.

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan felt a bright light before his eyes. Looking closely, he discovered that a pit not far away was emitting a completely different light from the surroundings, an unusual scarlet red.

Skilled and daring, Yi Shuihan was not afraid of any danger and walked directly towards the pit.

After walking about a hundred steps, he finally arrived at the pit. At this moment, he noticed another anomaly, and a familiar feeling enveloped Yi Shuihan's body.

"This is... the feeling of being swept by a stream of particles?"

Chapter 707, Red Granite

Particle flow was something Yi Shuihan was very familiar with. He had gone to Central City specifically to find Lei Ji on the night the particle accelerator exploded, in order to gain superpowers.

Later, although he successfully awakened his ability, it was not the Speed ​​Force he wanted, but a power that could release particle streams and grant others that power.

After that, Yi Shuihan didn't focus too much on the abilities he had gained, and only had time to think about testing them out.

Unexpectedly, he was swept by the particle stream again here. Yi Shuihan still felt that there was some kind of fate between them.

"So, the things inside can release particle streams."

Thinking this way, Yi Shuihan had some guesses about the dinosaur's changes. It was probably affected by the particle flow that it awakened its own special ability.

He felt a little disappointed, after all, the particle flow had no effect on Yi Shuihan. If it was really as he thought, he probably wouldn't get much benefit this time.

With a hint of reluctance, Yi Shuihan entered the pit.

The pit was very deep, and you couldn't see the end of it. What was even more amazing was that there were no living creatures here, not even some plants like grass.

The deeper they went, the more intense the impact of the particle flow became on Yi Shuihan. Towards the end, Yi Shuihan even felt as if he had been struck by lightning that night.

This did not frighten Yi Shuihan; on the contrary, it gave him a strange confidence in what he was about to see. He was not afraid of the treasure being strong; he was afraid that the treasure was not powerful enough.

"We're almost there; the answer will be revealed soon."

Finally, around a corner, Yi Shuihan was able to clearly sense the location of the object releasing the particle stream.

A while has passed since the treasure hunt began. From the initial excitement to the disappointment upon discovering the particle flow, then the slight anticipation of sensing its intensity, and now that the treasure is about to be revealed, Yi Shuihan is still quite excited.

Without thinking much, he turned the corner in a few steps and began searching for the so-called treasure.

"shhhhh"

Several crimson lights flashed, momentarily dazzling Yi Shuihan.

"has a problem."

The moment the thought crossed Yi Shuihan's mind, he felt a sense of crisis creeping in. It wasn't a big crisis, not as big as the previous one about nuclear weapons, but if he just ignored it, Yi Shuihan felt he would suffer some losses. He wouldn't get hurt, but his mood would definitely be affected.

"Treat them as they treat you."

Without choosing any other method, as if by some strange twist of fate, Yi Shuihan released his superpower, and a stream of particles burst forth from his body, spreading and impacting him from the front.

His vision cleared in the next moment, and Yi Shuihan was astonished to find that the particle stream he released had turned golden yellow and was locked in a stalemate with the streams of red particles.

Before he could find the culprit that released the red particle stream, a green patch suddenly appeared at the boundary where the red and yellow collided, and it continued to expand.

"Shouldn't a mixture of red and yellow be orange? How come there's green in it?"

Slightly startled, he discovered that the red particle stream seemed to have received reinforcements, instantly increasing in size several times. With lightning speed, it shattered the particle stream released by Yi Shuihan and arrived directly in front of Yi Shuihan.

"We can't get hit!"

For some reason, such a thought arose in Yi Shuihan's heart, and it was quite strong, as if if he were really hit, something that Yi Shuihan did not want to see would happen.

Following this feeling, Yi Shuihan did not hesitate to use the power of time, and everything entered a frozen state.

Time truly lives up to its reputation as one of the most mysterious forces; under its influence, the area within several miles centered on Yi Shuihan completely came to a standstill.

Yi Shuihan could actually freeze a larger space and time, but there was no need for that. The smaller the area, the stronger his power to freeze time.

"Huh, it's still moving?"

With a soft exclamation, Yi Shuihan discovered that the red particle stream was not completely still. Although it appeared motionless, it was actually moving forward at a very low speed, so slow that it would be impossible to detect unless Yi Shuihan observed it carefully.

The particle stream was only about 30 centimeters away from Yi Shuihan, and at its current speed, it would take several days to cover those 30 centimeters.

Without touching the time-stopping point, Yi Shuihan bypassed the red particle stream and quietly arrived behind it, finally finding the source of the red particle stream about 10 meters away.

A rock, or more precisely, a rock about half a person's height with an uneven surface, lay there quietly, giving Yi Shuihan a rather strange feeling.

His expression was somewhat strange. Yi Shuihan couldn't find the words to describe his current feelings. Suddenly, a surge of joy coursed through his body, as if he were yearning for the rock.

At this moment, Yi Shuihan dared not follow his feelings. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret it.

"What exactly happened before? What does the green that was born from the interweaving of red and yellow particles represent? Could it be that the particle stream it released is not exactly the same as the particle stream I released, and that the particle stream also has its own properties?"

Before this, Yi Shuihan had not thought about this issue carefully, because the color of the particle flow itself can be expressed in many ways, and is not specific in a strict sense.

To be honest, the particle stream is colorless. The reason why Yi Shuihan was able to release the yellow light of the particle stream was entirely due to his personal reasons and the influence of his Sun Body.

"Perhaps it's not just about releasing a stream of particles, but also contains a deeper force."

I gazed at the red granulite, lost in thought. Yes, it's called red granulite because it releases red particles.

After thinking for a while without getting an answer, and knowing that maintaining the time freeze indefinitely wasn't a good idea, Yi Shuihan decided to put the red granulite into his personal space. However, considering the characteristics of the red granulite releasing particle streams, he was hesitant.

"Let's see what this red particle stream is all about!"

Instead of moving the Red Rock, he collected a stream of red particles from the air into his personal space.

As soon as the red particle stream entered Yi Shuihan's personal space, it immediately accelerated and collided with the Demon-Slaying Spear that Yi Shuihan had placed in the space in an instant.

The red particles merged completely into the Demon-Slaying Spear like flowing water, and on the surface, nothing seemed to have changed.

"Is this really the end?"

With a slight thought, Yi Shuihan took the Demon-Slaying Spear in his hand and carefully felt its power.

Chapter 708, A Gold-Level Expert Descends Suddenly

This feeling revealed that something was wrong. As a divine artifact that had already recognized its master, the Demon-Slaying Spear should have been completely open to Yi Shuihan, but at this moment he could only vaguely feel the connection between them, and this connection was about to be broken.

"Could it be that the true effect of this red particle stream is to erase the mark between the treasure and its owner, but the particle stream just now was not enough, so it did not completely make the Demon-Slaying Spear ownerless?"

If Yi Shuihan's guess is true, then this red granulite is even more valuable.

If this effect can be fully realized, in the future when Yi Shuihan faces an enemy, if the enemy takes out a treasure and is about to display its power, Yi Shuihan can easily turn the enemy's treasure into an ownerless object. The enemy's expression will definitely be quite interesting.

"In the primordial world, there is an object called the Treasure-Dropping Coin, which can dredge up all the treasures in the world. It can be called a treasure harvester. If I could also have a treasure with the same effect as the Treasure-Dropping Coin, wouldn't I be incredibly awesome?"

Don't be fooled by Yi Shuihan's infrequent use of magical treasures. It's not that he dislikes them, but rather that he hasn't encountered the right ones. With the assistance of system skills, he simply doesn't care about ordinary treasures.

If a weapon like the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Pangu Axe, or the Infinity Gauntlet were placed in front of Yi Shuihan right now, he would definitely not let it go easily. Only a fool would refuse it!

"However, this makes it difficult to put the red granulite directly into my personal space; I need to find a way to isolate it."

Yi Shuihan quickly came up with a solution. It was very simple: he just needed to designate an area in his personal space and ensure that there were no special things around the red granulite. This was just a matter of a few thoughts for Yi Shuihan.

Having made up his mind, Yi Shuihan was about to put the red granular rock into his personal space. But the moment the red granular rock disappeared from its original spot, an overwhelming pressure descended.

"gold!?"

Yi Shuihan's expression changed drastically. He knew that this was caused by his attack on Hongliyan. The pressure coming from above made Yi Shuihan realize that he was no match for his opponent.

The thought of escaping was fleeting. For a Gold-level expert, Yi Shuihan had no chance of escaping unless he was willing to use the system to leave this world. Even if he did use the system, Yi Shuihan was uncertain. He didn't know how strong this Gold-level expert was or whether it could affect the system.

Since the system became the official version and told him many secrets, especially some bugs, Yi Shuihan already knew that the system was not omnipotent. As long as it exceeded its capabilities, it could only stare helplessly.

"How dare you touch my things!"

When the sound reached Yi Shuihan's ears, he felt a sharp pain in his body. This was because the difference in strength was too great, and the opponent's every move was enough to affect Yi Shuihan.

"As expected, they came for the red granulite."

Having ascertained the other party's intentions, Yi Shuihan regretted his previous actions. He shouldn't have touched the Red Granite, or stored it in his personal space. For a Gold-rank expert, as long as the Red Granite was still in this world, they could easily sense it. However, Yi Shuihan's personal space belonged to this world, so it would naturally attract the other party's attention immediately.

Without a moment to think, Yi Shuihan took the red granulite out of his personal space and placed it back where it was originally supposed to be.

"what?"

A surprised voice came, and then Yi Shuihan felt a powerful force sweep over his entire body, making him feel that everything about him had been seen through.

Yi Shuihan felt angry, but also somewhat relieved, because he discovered that the system and his personal space had not been exposed. It was fine that the system had not been exposed, but it was a pleasant surprise that his personal space had not been exposed. All his good things were stored in his personal space, and he only had a few space rings on his body, which contained things that he didn't care about.

The powerful being seemed to be considering something, and in the end, it slowly left without showing itself in front of Yi Shuihan or attacking him. Perhaps it thought that it didn't matter whether Yi Shuihan, an ant, lived or died.

"Huh...huh..."

Gasping for breath, Yi Shuihan's eyes revealed a hint of relief. Although he didn't know why the other party had let him go, he didn't want to delve into it and simply attributed it to good luck.

Looking at the red granular rock still standing there with a complicated expression, Yi Shuihan felt that the time freeze had been broken the moment the powerful figure descended. However, the red granular rock seemed to be conscious and simply stayed there quietly, no longer releasing red particle streams at him.

"The power of time is indeed ineffective against a Gold-tier being, or rather, the power of time I control is too weak."

The further one progresses in cultivation, the greater the gap between each realm becomes. The difference between bronze and silver is a hundredfold, and the difference between silver and gold is even greater, far beyond what Yi Shuihan could imagine. Even if Yi Shuihan is extraordinary, he can only cause trouble at the silver level at most. If he reaches the gold level, the best outcome would be if he could escape with the help of the system.

"This time, I've made another wasted trip."

Looking at the red granulite with resentment, Yi Shuihan had the urge to immediately activate the time travel feature and take it with him at the last moment.

"Forget it, it's not worth risking your life for something you don't even know how to use."

Yi Shuihan had the courage to take the risk, but that required enormous profits, and clearly, Hongliyan did not meet that standard.

After this incident, Yi Shuihan lost all interest in treasure hunting and immediately left the planet, returning to Earth by the same route.

Apart from Yi Shuihan, the creatures on this planet had no idea what kind of danger they had just encountered. If that powerful figure had been even slightly displeased, the entire planet could have been easily annihilated, and all the creatures on it would have perished without a trace.

Even Yi Shuihan himself was unaware that in his personal space, where he had previously stored the red granulite, there lay a small, unique rock lying quietly. Because Yi Shuihan had created an environment similar to a pit to store the red granulite, there were many similar rocks around this small rock, thus concealing its special nature from Yi Shuihan.
