Chapter 78 Method to Reach the Island (2/2)

Although Yaoyao's Spirit was powerful, she was unable to utilise Genesis Qi, resulting in an extremely frail body. If anything unexpected happened, the probability of Yaoyao being seriously injured was high.

Therefore, while Yaoyao was very powerful, she was also very weak.

Back then, master Cang Yuan had solemnly entrusted him with Yaoyao's safety. Hence, he did not dare to let Yaoyao take such a risk.

Zhou Yuan said, ”Observe first, if anything happens to me, at least there will be the great general and you to save me.”

Yaoyao did not persist after hearing this and her sharp snow-white chin gave a tiny nod.

Atop the lake, Zhou Yuan calmly cast a glance at the nearby Zhao Qingfeng. Undisguised hostility burned in the latter's eyes, but it did not matter to Zhou Yuan. No one would be able to stop him from obtaining the Jade Infant Fruit today.

The lake water under his feet rippled as he took in a deep breath and looked towards the small island at the center of the lake. He then took a step forward, beginning his step by step advance on the lake surface.

The others also started to very cautiously walk forward.

Around the lake, no one dared to blink at they watched the figures walking on the water. It was completely silent.

Several minutes later, Zhou Yuan and the rest gradually approached the area within a hundred feet of the small island. The lake was still calm and no one had encountered any obstructions.

When the crowd by the lakeside saw this, they could not help but murmur in bewilderment, ”So simple?”

Under those puzzled gazes, Zhou Yuan and the rest stepped into the area within a hundred feet of the island.

Buzz!

A buzzing sound seemed to emerge from the small island at this moment, and everyone watched as dazzling jade light was released from the Jade Infant tree at the center of the island.

Plop!

The jade light seemed to sway as countless barely discernible specks of light shot out from within. Like a storm, they began to engulf the ones who had stepped into the hundred feet perimeter around the island.

”It's a Spirit attack!”

Zhou Yuan focused on the barely visible specks of light. These light dots contained Spirit power.

He did not dare to delay a moment longer and the Spirit between his brows began to flicker. If one looked, one would be able to see a blurry silhouette seated in a cross-legged position. An invisible ripple pulsed outwards as Zhou Yuan's hand pulled out the Heavenly Yuan Brush at his waist.

The tip of the brush rapidly moved across the air, leaving behind almost visible strokes.

”Grade 1 Genesis Rune, Spirit s.h.i.+eld!”

The completed Genesis Rune immediately transformed into partly transparent s.h.i.+eld of light. The Genesis Qi ripples from the light s.h.i.+eld were extremely weak because the s.h.i.+eld was mainly composed of Spirit power.

Plop plop!

Jade light rained down from the sky, falling upon the transparent light s.h.i.+eld, causing it to ripple violently.

Ah!

Blood-curdling screeches began to ring out. Several individuals were unable to guard in time, and were immediately shot full of holes by the jade light, their bodies crumpling before sinking into the water.

As these individuals fell into the water, berserk undulations exploded within the lake. b.l.o.o.d.y water quickly rose and spread across the lake surface.

The ones that had fallen into the waters had been instantly blasted to pieces.

This sight caused the hearts of Zhou Yuan, Zhao Qingfeng and the other fortunate survivors to s.h.i.+ver. It seems that the waters below were indeed filled with danger, ensuring certain death if one was to fall into them.

Looks like reaching the small island at the heart of the lake and retrieving the Jade Infant Fruit not going to be as easy as expected.

These ruins were abundant with death traps.
