Chapter 1610 - Yamata Snake Soup (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A small boat glided across the South Sea. It was controlled by an old man with a hat and a straw coat, holding a long bamboo pole in his hand.

Every time the old man thrust the bamboo pole into the water, the little boat would move forward like a rocket. Water splashed continuously on its sides as if it were a speedboat.

A rumbling sound filled the air as the water behind the boat churned, while the small vessel itself left a straight light on the surface of the water and moved forward at a great speed.

Suddenly, huge waves appeared not far in front of the boat. The tumbling waves seemed to turn into a great wall to stop the old man from going any further.

When the boat came in front of it, the old man simply raised the bamboo pole and swung it at the waves that were tens of meters high. Shockingly, he cut through them as if they were tofu—the cut side was perfectly smooth.

However, as if he had done something insignificant, the old man went on his way. After a while, the outline of the Jewel slowly appeared before him.

…

Bu Fang raised his head and looked suspiciously at the handsome man hovering in the pool of blood, then at the carriage pulled by the one-horn horse. His expression remained unchanged.

In fact, besides these two men, he also sensed many auras peering around. This made his brows furrow slightly.

“Didn’t Hua say it wouldn’t participate in this operation? Why is there a Hua guy here?” The handsome man played with his fingers and glanced at Bu Fang. There seemed to be blood flowing in his eyes.

“Hehe… Count Dracula, it’s been a long time. How have you been doing lately?”

With a creak, the door of the medieval-style carriage was pushed open, and then a red-faced old man with white hair and white beard stepped out. Clad in a large green robe and holding a withered branch in his hand, he smiled at the handsome man.

“Oh, I didn’t expect to see the Great Wizard here…” the handsome man said with a smile on his face. His every twinkle and smile exuded the ultimate charm.

“What can I do? How can I not come to such an important place as the spiritual energy sealing point? If I don’t come, my old bones wouldn’t last much longer,” the old man said.

Dracula curled his lips. “I heard you say the same thing a century ago… You liar!”

Bu Fang looked at the two men talking in midair. Their spiritual energy was strong, even stronger than Yamata no Orochi who he had killed. It looked like they were superhumans on Earth, and they were from the West.

Yu Ge had told him that the top cultivators of Earth had found four spiritual energy sealing points, and they were going to use these four sealing points to bring the spiritual energy back to Earth. Bu Fang felt that these two men should be part of that group of top cultivators.

‘Later, if I have free time, I can ask these two men where the other three spiritual energy sealing points are,’ Bu Fang thought to himself.

The first thing he needed to do, of course, was to wake up the Vermilion Bird. ‘According to those images, there should be an egg behind the bronze door, and Vermilion Bird is sleeping inside. Wait… In the images, Vermilion Bird transformed into a woman… Had she taken human form in real life as well?’

Bu Fang was suddenly a little curious about the appearance of the Artifact Spirits after they had taken human form.

In midair, Count Dracula glanced at Bu Fang and burst into an evil laugh. “My lord, will you join me in getting rid of this Hua guy? Hua is not involved in this operation. In that case, let us, the Western powers, occupy this spiritual energy sealing point!”

Dracula’s proposal was attractive. At the very least, the group of vampires behind him was already somewhat impatient to kill Bu Fang.

“Oh, you’d better do it yourself. I am too old for such a fierce fight.” The Great Wizard laughed.

Dracula curled his lips and dismissed the idea for the moment. He felt a sense of threat from Bu Fang. It was a vampire’s instinct. Whenever he met a powerful being, he always unconsciously felt threatened.

He knew that this Hua man was an unusual one. But he would not fight him alone. He was not a fool.

“Dracula?” Bu Fang suddenly raised his head and gave the handsome man a quizzical look. He heard the conversation between the vampire and the sorcerer.

“Yes?” The vampire gave Bu Fang an indifferent glance.

“Do you have a brother named Nicholas?” The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched a little. He could not help but think of Nicholas the Handsome Dragon upon hearing the vampire’s name.

‘Is this guy nuts?” Dracula rolled his eyes.

Without waiting for the vampire’s answer, Bu Fang put his hand on the bronze door and pushed it open. With Foxy and Shrimpy, he stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

Count Dracula and the Great Wizard looked at each other. They hurriedly landed in front of the bronze door, pushed it open, and stepped inside with their men as well.

After closing the door, they found themselves in a chaotic space. Dracula’s eyes narrowed slightly as he raised one hand and waved it at the men standing behind him. Several vampires immediately escorted a few chefs to him.

“Cook with your best skills. I will reward you with eternal life if your dishes can open the array.” Dracula’s lips curled into a gentle smile.

The chefs shuddered in horror at once. If they were given eternal lives by a vampire, would that not mean they’ll become vampires as well? Could they choose to refuse?

The place they were in now was the inner part of the array, and it was also the most crucial part. Experts from all over the world had studied it for a long time, and finally, they concluded that to enter the array’s core, they needed to cook a delicacy that could trigger it.

Bu Fang stood quietly to one side.

“That Hua guy didn’t come with a chef. I think he is planning to wait for us to open the array before following us into the core… My lord, are you really not considering joining hands with me to kill this fellow?” Dracula said in a seductive tone as he looked at Bu Fang, who was pondering on the side.

“Haha… The people of Hua are not to be trifled with. I’ll stay out of it.” The Great Wizard’s stance was firm.
