Everlasting Chapter 662 Lake (2/2)
The image on the surface of the Thousand Seeker Mirror became increasingly clear as it moved deeper into the lake. The fishes, crawfishs and plants living inside the lake were clearly shown on the mirror surface.
“This is already 100 metres deep. This lake is even deeper than I expected,” Chen Feng said smilingly.
Wen Shaoxiu held his sword as he hovered above the lake, his eyes closed. Clearly, he was also in the process of checking out the lake.
Wen Shaoxiu was a half-step Human Immortal. Thus, he used a different method from Chen Feng. His soul power quickly scanned the entire lake. Finding nothing out of the ordinary, he then stepped into the lake.
“There is quite a number of fishes and crawfishs. However, given how large this lake is, it should have some yao beasts, no?” Wen Shaoxiu said curiously.
He had only just said that when the lake surface silently burst apart and a white wave surged skywards to attack Wen Shaoxiu.
“Kill!”
Wen Shaoxiu released a hushed shout and a 10-metre-long fish monster was cleaved into two. The fish monster possessed a pure-white body similar to that of an enlarged normal fish. However, sword-like spikes were growing out from its body. The spikes glittered in the face of the descending rays from the sun. It was quite the shocking sight.
“It's quite big. However, it is not strong enough. It is only an ordinary yao beast,” Wen Shaoxiu said smilingly.
“Be careful. There are stronger fish monsters down there,” Chen Feng suddenly said.
The light s.h.i.+ning out from the Thousand Seeker Mirror became even more dazzling. The Thousand Seeker Mirror's probing power had gone 500 metres down the lake. From its probing, Chen Feng was able to find a flock of fishes swimming within the lake. There were fish monsters like the one Wen Shaoxiu killed amongst them.
Chen Feng could sense it. Even though the fish monsters had yet to reach the Yao King stage, they had numbers on their side. Moreover, the level of the fish monsters would rise in accordance to the depth of the lake.
Just earlier, Chen Feng had spotted a fish monster that was over 100 metres long. Although its yao energy was restrained, the exuberant blood stream within its body shocked Chen Feng.
It must be at the peak-level Great Yao stage. However, its exuberant blood is just right for the concoction of Blood Pills. That is a good supplementary item! Chen Feng's eyes shone.
“Strange. This fish monster is a Great Yao, but there is no yao core inside its body.” Wen Shaoxiu felt surprised.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The calm water surface kept exploding as one fish monster after another jumped out from the lake to attack Chen Feng and Wen Shaoxiu, each bigger than the previous one.
Accompanying the fish monsters were countless water spikes, waves and pillars. The seemingly weak attacks were capable of creating air-piercing sounds.
Chen Feng had no doubt that the water spikes could easily pierce through even steel plate. However, he remained still in the face of the attacks. Instead, he focused all of his attention on the images playing on the surface of the Thousand Seeker Mirror.
When there was one zhang left between all the attacks and Chen Feng, they stopped, seemingly having struck a mountain. Even the huge fish monsters that were charging at him ended up with cracked heads and they thrashed about while wailing in pain.
Chen Feng had already unfurled his domain. The power of water, fire, wind, lightning, Heaven, Earth, mountains and lakes were constantly emerging from him to form a thick layer of defensive barrier.
“Brother Wen, I am heading down,” Chen Feng said, waving his hand to send out a surging palm blast against the water surface, causing a pillar of water to erupt skywards. Several fish monsters were killed as a result.
Next, Chen Feng's figure flashed forward to enter the lake. Then, he leisurely made his way down to the bottom of the lake.
Given Chen Feng's present level of strength, there was no longer any need for Water Prevention Beads. By simply unfurling his domain power, he could create a small dimension around him, impervious against both water and fire. He could even slip underground or soar high above.
The moment he entered the lake, a swarm of fish monsters charged forward to surround him. Next, the fish monsters fired out water arrows from their mouths. Every one of the water arrows was like a flying sword.
Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!
The attacks erupted to form blossoming ripples of water around Chen Feng before mixing in with the surrounding streams of water.
How troublesome. Chen Feng sped up. However, he was incapable of avoiding the fish monsters. At any rate, the fish monsters held an innate advantage inside the lake.
Helpless, Chen Feng then brought out the Death Sword and swung around with it. A large number of fish monsters was killed and the lake waters became blood-red in colour. However, the fish monsters were simply unafraid of death. It seemed as though they were under the control of a certain power. In the end, it wasn't just the fish monsters. Rather, even some large crawfish-type yao beasts emerged. Their pincers swung to create a sharp, piercing force.
Looks like I can only utilize the Blood Mustering Bead for this. Chen Feng had no other options.
The fishes and crawfishes here contained thick, vigorous blood essence, but the quality of their blood was too low. Chen Feng also did not want to kill too many of them. However, after getting entangled for so long, Chen Feng began growing irritated. Thus, he finally decided to use the Blood Mustering Bead.
The Blood Mustering Bead hovered atop Chen Feng's head and a sphere of blood-coloured light spread out. Any fish and crawfish that made contact with the blood-coloured light would be reduced to blood before converging and flowing into the Blood Mustering Bead.
In just one breath's worth of time, hundreds of fishes and crawfishes around Chen Feng were reduced to worthless fragments. Due to that, Chen Feng felt the pressure on him lightening and he sped up his rate of descent.
1 li = 0.5 km
