Chapter 295 – Devouring the Water God’s Mystery Codex (1/2)

In the field, situations often changed quickly and abruptly. It was originally a fight to the death between West and Aliya, with the Water God’s Mystery Codex going to the monsters of the barrier regardless of the outcome. However, when West suddenly triggered the explosion of the ice lotus and stole the codex, he had pushed the wrong buttons of all the Yaos here.

“Raaaarghhhh!” A heaven-shaking scream reverberated from the depths of the ocean. Six cyan lights, like six huge jade pillars, slowly rose from the sea and perfectly blocked West’s escape path.

At the same time, countless monsters released their attacks altogether while simultaneously closing in around West. If his movement was delayed even by just a tiny bit, it would be instant death for him.

“Take this.” West thrust the codex at Fatty. Then, taking a deep breath, he turned into a long-tailed shooting star and made an abrupt turn towards another direction.

Bolide Escape was an Advanced fire movement skill. Utilized in a desperate manner to boot, the skill helped West disappear in the blink of an eye.

“After him!” A thunderous shriek rattled the isles as two massive heads the size of small mountains emerged from the ocean. One was fiery red with nostrils constantly huffing fire, while the other was deep blue with cold air spurting from its mouth. This monster was the Celestial boss, Ice Fire Doublehead Jiao.

Rumble…! The Ice Fire Doublehead Jiao rose into the sky. Over one thousand meters in length with four claws under its abdomen, it started to spin forth and disappeared in the direction West had headed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh… The countless Yao monsters deployed their abilities and various acceleration skills. One after another, they chased in the direction West had escaped. Only Aliya stood there in a daze, her expression constantly changing.

“Bro, what did you take this thing for?” Fatty looked inside his inventory, where the Water God’s Mystery Codex quietly lay as it effused faint water mist.

“Humph! I thought that after I advanced, in addition to swallowing the Icefire Lotus, I could get my vengeance on that b*tch Aliya. Who could have known that she actually got her hands on the Water God’s Mystery Codex and made me fail when I was so close? However, this trip wasn’t in vain. I can go to the Central Dynasty and exchange the codex for a powerful weapon, and next time I’ll be sure to win.”

After ten seconds of Bolide Escape, West stopped at a tiny isle.

To be more exact, it should be called a reef, as the land above the water was only about ten meters wide.

”You want to exchange it with the Central Dynasty? And here I thought you wanted to give it to me.” Fatty was practically drooling as he stared at the codex.

”That's fine too if you can ask the Black Tortoise City Lord to help me improve my strength.” West smiled.

”Forget it, let's decide after we get out of here. Those monsters must have gone nuts by now, what do we do?” Fatty still remembered that furious shriek and the image of that Ice Fire Doublehead Jiao rising from the ocean.

Fatt tried a Recall Scroll and was notified that it couldn't be used inside the Natural Barrier.

”You go hide in your Elemental Mystery Realm, I'll lead them away.” West swung his arm to stop Fatty from rejecting the option. ”Don't act courteous with me and all, I have a way to make sure I can escape. But I can't carry the codex on me, those fellows have a keen nose for the water energy. After I lead them away, you find a way to get out of here and meet me in Sky City.”

The Ice Fire Doublehead Jiao was getting closer and closer. They could already see the fire that the red head was huffing out.

”Ugh, if the Elemental Mystery Realm wasn't damaged, I could take you inside too,” said Fatty with a twinge of regret.

”That wouldn't work. If they don't see me, they will definitely seal off all routes leading out of the barrier, then we wouldn't be able to escape after we leave the mystery realm. Alright, hurry up and hide, I'll lead them away.”

”Okay.” Fatty acted straightforwardly as he consumed some energy to open the Elemental Mystery Realm and entered it.

”Heh.” After West saw Fatty get inside, he snorted and quickly flew off.

An Ice Fire Doublehead Jiao, a green toad as big as a hill, as well as countless other Yao beasts tailed West into the distance in a fervent fashion.

After about two hours, Fatty got out of the Elemental Mystery Realm. The area was dead quiet without any sign of monsters, only the waters were churning and the tidal waves kept surging.

Let's go! Fatty quickly decided. He summoned the Violent Ox King and headed for the old route.

”Stop!” Fatty shouted to the Violent Ox King after flying for a short distance and stared fixedly at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him. ”Aliya,” he said.

”Hehe.” Aliya turned around to face Fatty. Her ashen face as a result of setting off her water core was graced with a trace of red blush.

”Little brat, yield the Water God's Mystery Codex and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll be tortured to death!” A roar resounded alongside water splashes as the huge head of Baleen Whale Drakon emerged from the sea.

”The codex isn't on me.” Fatty shook his head and controlled the Violent Ox King to move back a step.

Aliya slightly shook her head.
