Listening to the little guy's voice, Yang Lin immediately recalled the two talents he had previously unlocked for it.
One was poison resistance, and the other was treasure hunting.
Clearly, its treasure hunting talent was now at play.
He immediately asked the little guy,
"What treasure? Are you sure?"
Hearing his question, the little guy's two large round ears twitched again.
Then Yang Lin saw it shake its head.
"I don't know, but I can feel that the treasure is very large and very precious."
Although the little guy didn't say anything conclusive, Yang Lin's curiosity was instantly piqued.
In his opinion, anything that could appear on such a deserted island and be preserved in a pool of water for so many years must be an extraordinary treasure.
Most likely, it was precious metal.
Thinking of this, his gaze quickly swept over the pool.
As he looked, a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.
"The shape of this pool doesn't seem to be naturally formed."
"Could it be..."
For some reason, a scene appeared in Yang Lin's mind.
A celestial meteorite with a long tail pierced through the ozone layer and crashed directly onto this deserted island, creating a deep pit.
As time passed, this deep pit eventually took the form of the current pool.
"Right, it must be like this, this pool is actually an ancient meteorite crater."
Yang Lin couldn't help but recall a theory from recent years.
That is, the gold on Blue Star actually came from space, brought by meteorites.
If that were the case, there might be a gold mine buried underneath.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately became excited.
"Why not go down and take a look?"
Once this thought emerged, Yang Lin could no longer suppress his excitement.
His clothes were already wet anyway.
He immediately communicated with the anaconda couple. From them, Yang Lin learned that there was indeed a large rock at the bottom of the pool.
And it had been there since they could remember.
After receiving this answer, Yang Lin's heart became instantly fervent.
With billions in debt, he saw everything as money.
The next second, under the astonished gazes of the anaconda couple, Yang Lin plunged into the pool with a splash.
After entering the pool, he discovered that this pool, which looked unremarkable from the outside, was surprisingly deep.
Yang Lin dived for several minutes without reaching the bottom.
Only when the light underwater was about to disappear did a large rock, weighing perhaps hundreds of tons, finally appear in Yang Lin's field of vision.
Seeing this giant rock, which had likely been on Blue Star for countless years, a sense of awe instantly appeared in his heart.
To maintain such a size even after landing, one could imagine how large it must have been before entering Blue Star's atmosphere.
After the shock, he moved his body and came beside the giant rock.
The moment his palm touched the giant rock, the system notification chimed.
"Ding! Detected massive radiation. This radiation can cause mutations in living organisms. If unable to withstand it, it can lead to gene collapse and other unpredictable consequences."
Startled by the system notification, Yang Lin flinched.
He immediately withdrew his outstretched hand in fright.
"Damn it, I almost forgot about the radiation. The radiation is coming from something like this."
"It's been so many years, and the radiation hasn't dissipated yet?"
At this moment, Yang Lin found it hard to imagine how strong the radiation must have been when this meteorite first hit Blue Star.
Perhaps it had already affected a group of creatures when it first fell, and the giant anacondas and mutated animals on the island were the best proof.
As he looked at the meteorite in front of him with apprehension, the system notification, which had just quieted down, sounded again.
"Ding! Due to the host being exposed to unknown radiation for too long, the body has mutated."
"To ensure the host's safety, the system has blocked this process."
"Holy crap!"
Startled by this notification, Yang Lin was stunned.
He hadn't expected that in such a short time, he had already absorbed enough radiation to cause his body to mutate.
However, he felt something was not quite right.
"Wait, maybe the mutation the system mentioned is actually an opportunity for human evolution."
"System, explain clearly, where did I mutate? Am I growing wings, or a third eye? Growing horns on my head wouldn't be unacceptable either."
"Or am I growing a second brain? Don't stop me from joining the glorious evolution."
"These are all super cool, okay?"
......
"The system has successfully blocked the host's body mutation and converted the radiation energy into talent points."
"Talent Points +1"
"Talent Points +1"
"Talent Points +1"
.......
Listening to the continuous system notifications in his mind, Yang Lin's expression changed countless times in an instant.
Bewilderment, shock, joy.
By the time he fully came to his senses, the talent points in the system space had directly reached over 500.
Looking at the suddenly increased talent points, Yang Lin didn't know how to describe his feelings for a moment.
"Could it be that the essence of talent points is actually a kind of special radiation energy?"
"Can I convert the radiation from this giant meteorite into talent points by absorbing it?"
Thinking of this, he quickly extended his hand towards the celestial meteorite in front of him again.
Just as he thought the system would convert the radiation into talent points again, the next notification made him quickly retract his hand.
"Ding! The host's body has reached the limit of radiation tolerance. If the host absorbs radiation energy again, it will absolutely lead to gene collapse."
"Tolerance limit? Then why don't the anaconda couple?"
Feeling a lingering fear, Yang Lin couldn't help but have a question arise in his mind.
"Is it because snake genes are inherently more stable?"
For some reason, Yang Lin thought of the snakes outside that remained unchanged.
Unable to figure out the specific reason, he simply stopped bothering to delve into it.
Although he hadn't found a large gold mine as he had expected this time, he had unexpectedly gained several hundred talent points.
Overall, it wasn't a loss.
To avoid further danger, he didn't dare to stay underwater for too long and immediately swam towards the surface.
However, while swimming, he vaguely saw something lying at the bottom of the water not far away.
As he got a little closer, his face instantly showed an expression of extreme horror.
Following his gaze, he saw that at the bottom of the dark pool water, an unimaginably large fossilized skeleton lay quietly there.
