The moment he touched the black stone, the Talent Power in Zhu Xiu's body began to drain away as if through a funnel.
There wasn't a moment to lose!
Zhu Xiu bit down hard and yanked the black Crystal Stone from the bottom of the pool.
The pool's water churned violently, as if trying to trap him at the bottom forever.
The King Cobra's eyes grew even more crimson. His Talent Power burst from his body, forming a protective barrier as he resisted the whirlpool's force and shot upwards.
He finally broke free from the water's grasp, but his Talent Power had dwindled to a mere ten or twenty percent.
If Yin Da were to appear now, he could easily take his life.
He hid the black Crystal Stone, then, without lingering, transformed into a small snake and slithered along the base of the walls, heading for Yin Da's residence.
