Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 351 – The Wonderful Use of Faith Backflow

Night fell, and the Forest of Elves shed the clamor of daylight, draped in a veil of eerie silver.

Giant luminescent plants stretched their leaves in the darkness, emitting a faint, ghostly glow that transformed the primeval forest into a dreamlike, otherworldly realm.

At the very heart of the forest, the vast Spirit Lake lay as still as a slab of black obsidian, mirroring the brilliant river of stars above.

Lin Fan half-reclined against a massive boulder by the lakeshore. The evening breeze lifted the lace hem of her gothic dress, revealing a glimpse of pale, flawless thigh above the edge of her black thigh-high stockings.

She held a slim cigarette between her fingers and blew out a ring of smoke.

“Tsk, this is deeper than it looks.”

Lin Fan narrowed her eyes, her gold-violet vertical pupils flashing with the glow of surging Mental Strength.

Moments ago, she had attempted to extend her mental power into the lake’s waters.

The first five hundred meters passed without obstruction.

The ecosystem in this lake was so thriving it made one’s mouth water.

Tiny points of life-light clustered densely, like fireflies on a summer night.

But when her mental power descended to around five hundred meters, it met an obstruction.

An invisible Psychic Barrier.

It wasn’t aggressive, but its resilience was formidable—like a massive wad of cotton, gently pushing her mental power back.

“Interesting.”

A playful smirk curved at the corner of Lin Fan’s lips.

A psychic shield of this caliber was definitely not natural.

Something was down there.

Or rather… some being with high-level mental capabilities.

She was strong now, no doubt, and she still held several trump cards up her sleeve.

But in the water, her combat effectiveness would drop by at least thirty percent.

And who knew where this lake led? If there was a hornet’s nest down there, like the Dragon Ancestral Land, barging in blindly could end in a humiliating defeat.

“Since I can’t see through it, I’ll just make them come to me.”

Lin Fan turned and found a secluded rocky cove on higher ground.

Sheltered by rock on three sides and facing the lake, it was a natural “observation deck.”

She glanced around, confirming that the centaurs and deer-folk had long been scared out of their wits, trembling in their respective tribes, not daring to come anywhere near Spirit Lake.

“Phew…”

…..

……

…..

She injected a freshly brewed Energy Potion into the lake.

“At this amount… relative to the entire lake, it’ll be diluted to practically nothing.”

Lin Fan smoothed her skirt and stood up, watching the pale golden, fragrant Energy Liquid spread rapidly through the water before dissolving.

“But I don’t need to turn them into fanatics.”

“I just need to… leave a mark.”

That was Lin Fan’s strategy.

The [Faith Feedback] talent wasn’t just for harvesting the Power of Faith.

It was also a passive believer-radar.

As long as any creature ingested Energy Liquid containing her Psychic Imprint—even at a concentration of one part in a hundred million—that creature would light up like a bulb in Lin Fan’s perception.

The more they consumed, the brighter the bulb.

“I’ll take a few days to rest here anyway, and sort through the spoils from this trip.”

Lin Fan stretched lazily and found a tree hollow.

She pulled a luxurious mattress straight out of the System Space and laid it on the ground.

For a refined, fastidious egoist like herself, sleeping under the open sky was simply unacceptable. Even in the wilderness, she’d sleep on a Simmons.

…

For the next three days, Lin Fan lived the life of a retired old man.

Basking in the sun during the day, organizing the Skin materials in the System Space.

When the mood struck, she’d stroll by the lake, casually “seasoning” the vast waters.

There was no denying it—the Dragon Clan’s kidney function was remarkably powerful. Combined with her habit of eating Spirit Fruits like snacks, her daily Energy Potion output was quite substantial.

And the ecological circle of this Spirit Lake, thanks to Lin Fan’s generous contributions, was undergoing some bizarre transformation.

Day one.

Near the rocky bay where Lin Fan had been feeding, tens of thousands of finger-sized silver fish gathered.

They went mad, fighting over every drop of golden liquid that dissolved into the lake.

A few even burst their bellies open from fighting too fiercely.

Day two.

Over a dozen large black fish, each over three meters long, claimed the area.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their scales began to take on an unnatural metallic sheen.

Originally only at level two, they forcibly broke through to level three overnight.

And the Faith Threads connecting their minds to Lin Fan had already become blindingly bright.

Late into the third night.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged on the large bed, a mint cigarette in hand. Amidst the swirling smoke, her eyes were shut tight.

“Almost there.”

After three days of infiltration and the enrichment effect of the food chain.

That energy containing her Psychic Imprint had, through the cycle of big fish eating small fish and small fish eating shrimp, spread to every corner of the entire Spirit Lake.

“Talent activation—Faith Feedback.”

Hum!

Countless golden points of faith light instantly appeared in Lin Fan’s vision.

It was a strange experience.

Like viewing from God’s perspective.

In her perceptual world, this Spirit Lake, once pitch black, was now lit up with countless stars.

In the shallow waters, dense clusters of faint lights swirled like nebulae.

Those were billions of plankton, small fish, and shrimp.

In the mid-water zone, the lights were fewer but brighter.

Those were large Aquatic Mutant Beasts, swimming swiftly, hunting the marked prey.

“Found you.”

A slight smile tugged at Lin Fan’s lips as her attention snapped to the deepest point.

In that abyss five hundred meters below.

The membrane that had once blocked psychic probing now failed to stop the signals emanating from within.

At the bottom of that pitch-black abyss lay an endless stretch of lights!

These weren’t scattered beasts.

That was a… city?

The lights were faint, but arranged with perfect order—some patrolled fixed areas, others clustered together without moving.

Moreover, the brightness of these lights was universally above level four!

A few particularly dazzling ones even reached level six!

“An underwater civilization?”

Lin Fan’s heart stirred. This Forest of Elves was truly a treasure trove.

On land, there were centaurs and Deer-folk. And beneath the water, a nest this massive was hiding.

Just as Lin Fan prepared to refine her perception further.

Suddenly.

At the very center of the map, that core region resembling a black hole, a heart-stopping red light blazed to life!

The light source was enormous.

If the other creatures were fireflies, then this thing was practically a deep-sea searchlight!

And it was devouring the scattered faint lights around it at a terrifying speed.

In other words, it was consuming the “energy” Lin Fan had dispersed throughout the water.

“Hm?”
