Chapter 117: The Seductress in the Lake

  Su Che walked out of the underground hall, intending to leave. However, as soon as he returned to the hall on the ground, a certain totem on the wall flashed with a faint light, and a spiritual fluctuation pierced into Su Che's mind...

  "Another map?"

  Lao Hei whispered: "What's going on? Another map has been passed over, and there's even an arrow marked on it."

  Su Che thought to himself, "I had already guessed it. It will give me new instructions. Who knows, this might be a path that the young men of the Wu tribe must go through, similar to some kind of coming-of-age ritual."

  "It's possible." Old Hei handed the map over to Su Che.

  Su Che carefully examined the map, which started from this temple and had an arc-shaped arrow that went around the front mountain for more than half a circle. On the other side, there seemed to be a lake.

  "Lao Hei, let's connect the two maps. Who knows, by the end of it, we might have covered the entire Xiao Mi Xian Jing and gotten a complete topographic map."

  Su Che's heart was firm: "This road must be taken, as long as there are benefits, why not take it"

  Lao Hei said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's that guy's test, getting harder and harder, Master, you won't be able to complete it."

  Su Che didn't say anything else, as if that stubbornness had come up again. Following the map's indication, he started advancing in big strides.

  The distance is not far, according to Su Che's leg strength, it will take more than a moment to find the lake. However, from afar, I saw that there were a group of treasure hunters gathered on the other side of the lake, with at least over thirty people.

  "So many people gathered on that side, what did they find?" Su Che wondered.

  "Want to take a look at the past?" Old Hei asked.

  "No, no," Lian Lian shook her head repeatedly: "If it happened again in the past, and 'it' gave another order to 'kill them', with so many people, I would really be powerless."

  At this time, there were also people on the other side of the lake who saw Su Che, pointing and gesturing from afar, it was unclear whether they were beckoning him over or what...

  Su Che looked around the environment carefully, thinking to himself, "It" brought him here, but what was the purpose? Was it really going to make him kill all these thirty plus people again?

  At this time, Lao Hei had already made a discovery and immediately reminded: "Master, there is a building at the bottom of the lake, with a very large area"

  "That's it." Su Che understood: "The purpose of bringing me here should be related to the building at the bottom of the lake."

  Su Che once again demonstrated his decisive character, thinking and acting quickly without hesitation. With a splash, he jumped into the lake and dove towards its deepest point.

  On the other side of the shore, someone immediately said to their companion: "Look quickly, someone has jumped into the water, this person is so bold"

  His companion sneered: "Acting so recklessly is just asking for death."

  Several others also nodded in agreement, thinking that Su Che's behavior was extremely reckless. In the Small Mysterious Immortal Realm, he belonged to the kind of person who would die the fastest.

  These thirty people had found this place two hours ago and were now gathered in front of a stone monument, discussing something in hushed tones.

  The stone tablet was only over three feet tall, and it was blocked by their bodies. Just now, Su Che was far away on the opposite bank, so he didn't see it either. Moreover, the distance between the two banks exceeded one hundred zhang, and Lao Hei couldn't detect it either.

  The stone monument was densely filled with words that were surprisingly not the witch tribe's script, but rather the common script used in the current cultivation world.

  The text above shows that this stone tablet was left by a group of treasure hunters hundreds of years ago, indicating that there is a giant building at the bottom of the lake, which must contain treasures. However, this building is guarded by a monster with a human body and a snake tail, taking away many lives. Therefore, it warns later generations to be more careful, if not confident, never dive into the water recklessly.

  The person who left words on the tree stele is also a kind-hearted person, but I don't know if this kind and gentle predecessor has left the small Maitreya realm safely...

  So, more than 30 treasure hunters gathered in front of the stone tablet, discussing how to dive into the water to retrieve the treasure and how to deal with that "human-headed snake-tailed" monster. However, they didn't expect that Su Che, a latecomer, would join them without saying a word and jump into the water, leaving only an impression of being reckless.

  Su Che didn't know what kind of monster with a human upper body and snake lower body was in the lake, but he could guess that after entering the water, he would definitely encounter some kind of danger.

  Presumably, there's no danger in it, and 'it' won't let itself be done either.

  After swimming for dozens of meters, a gigantic building came into view, situated in the center of the lake bed.

  It's not just a building, but an entire courtyard complex, with walls, gardens, artificial hills, bridges, rows of houses and a three-story main building...

  Now it should be a building of hundreds of millions years ago, but it is still intact and even the exquisite carvings on the courtyard wall are clearly visible.

  What does this mean?

  Su Che realized that, judging from its exquisite craftsmanship style, it was absolutely not a building of the Wu tribe. Because, the Wu tribe did not pay attention to such finery at all, they only liked simplicity and coarseness. That meant, this was a masterpiece of the ancient immortal cultivators.

  Then, such a mansion has been soaked in water for tens of millions of years, and it is still intact. Does this mean that it itself is a high-grade treasure, also known as the "Immortal's Mansion" often mentioned by cultivators?

  The legend of the Xianfu, nowadays in the cultivation world has long been extinct, no one will refine such a high-level thing. It is said that the advanced Xianfu can not only be miniaturized to a pocket-sized state for carrying, but also integrates defensive treasures and flying treasures into one body, living comfortably in one's own home, one can fly freely and soar throughout the divine continent.

  However, even if the courtyard in front of him was a real fairy mansion, Su Che still didn't have the ability to take it, because the book said that this kind of thing required at least the true yuan power of the Yuan Ying period to control and collect, but now, Su Che only had a thin layer of true energy.

  In any case, I'll go in and take a look; who knows, maybe there's still something else to gain inside the immortal mansion.

  Su Che strode directly towards the three-story main building in the Water Courtyard, and when he got within twenty zhang of it, he discovered that the entire courtyard was enveloped by a huge semi-circular energy shield. Through this layer of energy, there was no lake water inside.

  Swam to the front of the gas mask, Su Che tentatively reached out and touched it, his palm passing through without any obstruction, but not a single drop of lake water could penetrate this thin layer of gas mask.

  Of course, this scene is not surprising for cultivators. If you carry a water-avoiding bead with you, you can also do it. However, the isolation mask made by low-grade water-avoiding beads can only envelop one person and cannot reach such a large scale.

  Exclamation mark

  Su Che's entire body passed through the air mask, and the gravity suddenly changed. He hastily applied the Light Body Technique, and only then did he lightly float down into the courtyard where the three-story main building was located.

  The courtyard was exceptionally clean, with crystal-clear white jade stone slabs underfoot that were spotless, even cleaner than the tables in ordinary people's homes.

  Before Su Che could take a step forward, the window on the second floor suddenly opened, and then he saw a stunningly beautiful face appear in his line of sight.

  A stunning beauty stood in front of the window, her slender figure visible through a black veil, giving people endless imagination.

  This woman was really extremely beautiful. Su Che thought that among all the women he had seen, in terms of facial features alone, it seemed that no one could surpass her.

  "Of course, no one can surpass her." Old Black said in a strange tone: "Master, she's not even human, she's simply a snake demon. My god, didn't you see it? The tail hidden under the window is over three zhang long... my little tail can't compare to hers."

  "Serpent demon?"

  Su Chuo's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in confusion: "How can there be snake demons living in the Xiao Mi Xian Jing? For the Wu tribe, humans, demons, and monsters are all their sworn enemies, shouldn't they be treated equally?"

  Just as he was thinking, the snake woman spoke in a gentle and melodious voice, saying something. Unfortunately, it was all Greek to Su Che, who couldn't understand a single word.

  "What did you say?" Su Che looked up and asked: "I didn't understand."

  "Huh?"

  The snake woman's face showed a look of surprise and she transformed into human language: "You are obviously a young man from the witch tribe, why are you speaking in human language."

  Su Che's body was always surrounded by the energy of Hei Shi Qing Liu at all times, unexpectedly, she also saw herself as a witch tribe youth.

  "So I explained: 'I indeed have a witch's bloodline, but now which witch exists? I grew up in the human world since childhood and only understand human language.'"

  "No wonder, no wonder."

  The snake woman whispered softly and repeated the earliest words in human language: "Young man of the witch tribe, have you come to take my life? Few words"

  "What?"

  Su Che was stunned for a moment, and until now, he had not received any instructions from the Guardian of the Sacred Land, so he didn't know what he was doing here.

  "Don't you know?"

  The snake woman smiled wistfully, her beautiful face moving people's hearts: "I know my own fate, sooner or later, I will end up in the hands of the witch tribe. Your arrival means that this day has come."

  Su Che thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "If I were to kill you, would you resist?"

  "Of course I will"

  The snake woman's face turned cold, her voice rose: "Imprisoning me here for over a thousand years, I naturally have an unrelenting hatred for your witch tribe. Even if I couldn't resist the arrangement of fate, I still want to..."

  She let out a pained cry of "ahh" and her face showed a look of terror and suffering, as if some unseen force had violently cut off her words, leaving the rest unsaid.

  At this time, the belated spiritual fluctuation finally entered Su Che's mind: "Kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her, kill her..."

  It's endless repetition, endless nagging.

  Su Che was annoyed by it and boldly shouted at the sky: "I know, I know, isn't it just killing her? I know"

  My mind suddenly calmed down, and that spiritual fluctuation really stopped.

  "In the Xian prison, Lao Hei cursed in a low voice: 'I just guessed it, not only is its wisdom low, but it's also a cheap bone head, Master, you don't have to be too polite to it.'"

  It's all well and good to say so, but Su Che didn't dare risk his life by being disrespectful to 'it'.

  Having heard Su Che's shout, the snake woman revealed a fierce glint in her eyes, or rather, she showed an unyielding and resistant will.

  "Even if I'm going to die at his hands, I'll exhaust all means to make him pay a certain price too."

  At this moment, Lao Hei sighed and said: "However, master, you agreed too readily. You don't know that this snake woman is very formidable, you can't kill her. It's better to think of a way to save your own life..."

  The snake woman wagged her tail for moon votes, if not given, she would swallow Su Che whole, hmm, how to swallow, think for yourself... only moon votes can save him hehe.
