nHowever, the energy waves in front of her reminded her that she was swimming in the right direction!

nWith that, Nian Yue exerted some force and dived down.

nFive minutes later, she finally reached the bottom of the lake. As expected, Nian Yue saw the glowing Energy Stone.

nThe stone looked like it was only the size of a fist, but there was a faint blue light flowing outside.

nShe could clearly sense that it was the force emitted by the Energy Stone…

nNian Yue swam over and raised her hand slightly. The Energy Stone was already in her palm.

nThe moment Nian Yue got hold of the stone, she felt her entire body and mind relax!

nThe cells in her body rushed to absorb the energy from the Energy Stone.

nFive minutes later, Nian Yue opened her eyes and everything in front of her brightened up.

nThe originally blurry underwater world was now clear in her eyes.

nIt seemed that not only could the energy stone repair her superpower, it could also improve her senses, making them several times stronger than those of ordinary people.

nNian Yue swam out of the water with the Energy Stone.

nThe surface of the water, which had been sparkling and translucent just a moment ago, was now lifeless and pitch-black with the Energy Stone removed.

nNian Yue sat cross-legged on the grass. She took a deep breath and began to absorb the energy.

nIn this world, she had less than one-tenth of her original power.

nAlthough she could protect herself in this world, she could only surrender when she encountered a troublesome enemy.

nAnd this energy stone could restore her superpower to 50 percent of her original power.

nThe light blue glow outside the Energy Stone was getting more and more faint, and there was a layer of light blue light floating around Nian Yue’s body.

nTwo hours later, the outside of the stone finally became pitch-black. All the energy was sucked into her body.

nNian Yue opened her eyes and looked at the black stone in her palm. She smirked.

nAlthough this stone did not have much energy left, it could still be sold for a good price.

nThinking of this, Nian Yue placed the Energy Stone in her backpack.

nHowever, before she could zip up her backpack, Nian Yue felt a gust of cold wind behind her!

nNian Yue dodged to the side, and in the blink of an eye, she saw a huge black dog that was half the height of a human. It was glaring at her fiercely, revealing its sharp fangs.

nThe black dog was going to attack her but missed. It adjusted its posture and prepared to attack her again!

nIts sharp eyes were fixed on the Energy Stone in her hand!

nThe moment it attacked, Nian Yue had already flipped over and dodged it.

nThen, with a light tap of her foot, she reached the nearest tree.

nThe black dog didn’t manage to hit her and started barking anxiously.

nNian Yue sneered and crossed her arms. She leaned against the tree and closed her eyes to rest.

nToo much energy had surged into her body at once, and she was at her weakest now. She needed to close her eyes to rest and properly absorb the energy.

nSeeing how relaxed she was, the black dog ran around under the tree anxiously.

nIn the end, the dog got tired. Seeing that Nian Yue did not even lift her eyelids, the dog simply lay under the tree and guarded her without moving.

nAfter an unknown period of time, Nian Yue opened her eyes. Her whole body was wet as if she had been drenched.

nShe even gave off an unpleasant smell.

nThis was the waste that was expelled from her body when she absorbed the energy.

nNow that the impurities in her body had been discharged, she felt extremely light.

nSeeing her open her eyes, the black dog suddenly got up from the ground and made an attack.

nNian Yue yawned. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The sky was already bright.

nShe needed to rush back before dawn.

nNian Yue frowned when she saw the black dog barking at her relentlessly. Then, she turned around and broke a tree branch.

nWhen the black dog saw the tree branch in her hand, it barked even louder.

nNian Yue looked at the tree branch in her hand and took advantage of the moment when the black dog jumped up to attack!

nThe sharp branches pierced directly toward the black dog’s neck!

nFast, ruthless, and accurate!

nWhen the black dog’s neck was stabbed, its voice became even more shrill!

nIn less than two minutes, it was lying on the ground, completely motionless.

nNian Yue then jumped down from the tree and walked near the black dog. She bent down and used her fingers to probe its neck.

nThere was still a faint breath.

nAfter ensuring that the dog would not wake up anytime soon, Nian Yue carried her bag and walked down the mountain.

nAlmost five minutes after she left, a private jet had stopped above Black Mountain.

nThe cabin door opened and two slender figures walked out.

nThe man in the lead was dressed in black casual clothes. His handsome face was expressionless, and his deep-set eyes were cold.

nA man in white followed closely behind. The moment the man landed, he saw the black dog on the ground.

nHe walked over in two or three steps and bent down to touch the black dog’s neck. “A branch almost killed Blackie…”

nBlackie was the military dog that the Bo family had raised for five years. He could even dodge bullets.

nBut today, he was almost killed by a tree branch.

nWho had such capabilities?

n“Bring it back.”

nThe man in black said coldly before walking toward the lake.

nThere were no ripples on the calm surface of the lake. The energy that was being emitted was also gone.

nThis was an extremely ordinary lake.

n“Did you find anything?” Jiang Jincheng asked.

nA few days ago, there was an earthquake in Jiang City. Although there were no casualties, the entire Black Mountain was cordoned off.

nHe and Fu Xiuyuan had rushed over immediately, but he was too late.

n“It has been taken away.” Fu Xiuyuan’s lips twitched. His deep eyes seemed bottomless.

n“But other than you, who else in this world has such capabilities…”

nJiang Jincheng was confused.

nThe matter regarding the Energy Stones had been tightly sealed by the higher-ups. Who could have injured Blackie within a short period of time and taken away the Energy Stone?

nWhile they were talking, a staff member came over with a flashlight. “Who’s there?”

nThe situation in Black Mountain was too special. Even at night, there would be people on duty in every area.

nTwo security guards on duty came over with flashlights. When they saw the man in black, their faces immediately changed!

n“Young Master Fu…”

nHis tone became extremely respectful.

nBefore they came to Black Mountain, the higher-ups had repeatedly instructed them to be extremely professional when they met Young Master Fu!

nIt was because this man stood at the top of the country’s hierarchy!

nThey would never be able to look up to him!

n“Let’s go back.” Fu Xiuyuan didn’t even look up as he turned around and left.
