The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 1379
Thea nodded.
Then, she jumped into the swamp.
Immediately, she could feel a biting coldness all over her body.
She felt like she was in an ice-cold abyss and could not help shivering from the chilling water.
At that moment, the blood in her body began to gush rapidly through her veins.
Her blood exuded a potent energy, swarming through her body, resisting the Cold Energy that had entered her body.
Thea kept swimming deeper into the swamp.
The deeper she went, the lower the temperature of the water. Moreover, she had to withstand the immense water pressure.
The water pressure was very strong, and it was hard for her to withstand it even with the Spirit Turtle’s blood. She finally
understood why the Medical Saint said that even an eighth-ranked grandmaster could be incapable of reaching the bottom.
After the Spirit Turtle’s blood in her body was activated, her strength would be of an eighth-ranked grandmaster and could even
exceed that of the peak of the eighth rank.
However, it was challenging for her to resist the water pressure.
At that moment, her skin ached as if something was squeezing her.
‘I must preserve! I need to find the Sanguine Bloom to treat my internal injuries so I can head to Durandal to participate in the
International Martial Arts Conference. I have to win first place and acquire Excalibur.”
Thea cheered herself, and a firm resolution brewed in her heart.
She mobilized her True Energy and the power of the Spirit Turtle’s blood and kept swimming deeper into the swamp.
Three thousand meters, five thousand meters, eight thousand meters....

Soon, she reached eight thousand meters deep into the Frosty Swamp. She could not endure it any longer and could not go
further.
The temperature was too low, and the water pressure was too intense.
Moreover, she still had injuries, and exerting all her strength caused them to worsen. The Cold Energy in her body also caused
an excruciating pain to spread in her body. Her face beneath her mask was distorted due to the pain.
At that moment, Thea realized she was in trouble and had to get out as soon as possible.
Otherwise, she would suffocate to death.
After her injury recurred, she slightly panicked and frantically swam upward.
However, her consciousness gradually faded away.
Thea became incredibly anxious and swam toward a stone wall. She leaned against it and used the stones as a lever.
With the help of the stones, she quickly moved upward.
While swimming up, she reached a cavern, and a powerful suction force sucked her into it.
This caused her to panic greatly.
She was completely helpless.
There was a vortex within the cavern, and her slender body was sucked into it. It was gradually dragging her deeper into the
cavern. She slowly grew dizzy and eventually passed out.
After a long time, Thea regained consciousness.
She opened her eyes and scanned her surroundings.
It was pitch black all around her, and there was no light source.
She was a strong martial artist and could clearly see her surroundings in the dark.
The underground cavern was surrounded by water.

She had been washed up ashore inside the underground cavern.
Thea stood up, and a sharp pain immediately spread through her body.
“Am I still alive?”
The excruciating pain reassured her that she was still alive.
She was terrified while recalling the incident in the Frosty Swamp.
It was a close call.
Fortunately, she was a martial artist and could persist for a while without breathing. Otherwise, she would. have drowned at the
bottom of the Frosty Swamp.
“Where am I?”
After resting for a while, the pain eased a lot. She stood up with difficulty and cautiously scanned her surroundings.
