Chapter 1120 Purple Vine (1/2)
The lantern fish king was eventually going solo, for it had gone so fast, none of its brethren had been able to keep up. Only Han Sen could stick with it. Bao'er was still sitting atop the fish king, and as she sat there, she had a serious look on her face.
Han Sen kept following the fish king at this speed for two whole days. Fortunately, the wings were a beast soul. If he was using his own energy to fly, he would have been knackered far earlier.
Eventually, though, Han Sen saw the end of the long river he had traversed. It led to a big mountain, the peak of which was high up in the clouds someplace. An accurate estimation of its height could not be guessed.
There was a big waterfall on the mountain, too. It descended from someplace above the clouds, as if it were a tether to hold the sky and clouds in place.
It was a gorgeous sight, and before that grand waterfall, even the fish king looked small.
The waterfall descended into a lake. When the fish king reached this lake, it began to stream up through the waterfall into the sky. Bao'er held onto the fish king tight, flying up with it.
Han Sen shouted in her direction, but Bao'er ignored him. She remained fixated on the mountain they had come to.
The fish was swimming against the waterfall, and as it cleaved its way upwards, many splashes were created.
Han Sen had the power to do this, as well, but he refrained for now. And as Han Sen was lost in thought over the place he had come to, something came down from above the clouds.
Han Sen stood on the shores of the lake watching. Then, he saw a purple vine descend and try to lash the fish king as if it were a whip.
The fish king puffed up its belly and withstood the blow like a red sun.
Pang!
The fish king received that hit and bled a copious amount of blood; so much, the waterfall and lake below were dyed red.
The fish king opened its mouth and did not relent in its ascension of the waterfall.
Pang!
The vine was still there, and it lashed the king again. Many of the fish's scales were stripped from its body.
Han Sen was frozen at the scene of this terrible sight. The fish king was incredibly powerful as it was. But the purple vine was able to nearly wreck the beast with but a single hit.
”What in the sanctuaries could that thing be? Is it a plant?! Is it a weapon?! Is someone controlling it or what?” Han Sen wondered, aghast.
His Dongxuan Aura was not efficient enough for him to detect what might have lurked above the clouds.
What Han Sen couldn't understand the most, though, was why Bao'er was acting the way she was. She was determined to remain on the fish king, and her face was extremely serious. Han Sen had never seen her behave this way before.
”Does she know what is up there?” Han Sen thought to himself.
It did not seem possible. She had never been there before, so how could she know?
