Chapter 116: Entering the Lake and Invading the Ling Shark Demon!
The waiter returned the waist cards to the three of them, then took out three crystal clear pale blue thumb-sized beads that resembled aquamarines, and three masks. He pressed the beads into the masks and said:
"These are the water-repelling pearls distributed to you. Wear them on your forehead, and within a radius of one foot around your head, no water will invade, and you can move freely in the water. You can also use the water-repelling pearls for transmission, but only within a distance of 100 feet. Beyond that, it won't work!"
Then he took out three small bags and handed them over to the three people, saying:
"This is a storage bag lent to you by the sect, inside there is a set of shark skin diving suits, as well as storage bags for collecting materials and demon beast corpses."
"Of course, it's just lent to you for use, and it will only be given away after you've completed ninety-nine tasks."
"Alright, the three of you have completed your registration. Your mission is to head to Tianlong Lake and each kill two evil spirit sharks, taking their shark fins. Mission accomplished!"
"Don't think this is a lake, beneath this lake connects to the outside domain, where all kinds of sea fish and water demons reside, be extremely careful!"
"Thank you, senior brother." Mo Bei thanked him and took the things over, distributing them to Long Hao Tian and Fang Luo You before leaving the Xian He Hall.
After they left, the waiter glanced in the direction where the three had disappeared and curled his lip, saying: "Obviously going to send themselves to death, what's wrong with them."
Having said this, he lowered his head again with nothing to do and continued to play with the abacus beads.
Three people walked through the disciples at the edge of the lake, rolling up their pants and weeding out the wild grass, to arrive at the Tianlong Lake.
A cool breeze blows from the mountains, sweeps across the lake surface, rolls up waves of ripples, and scatters them in all directions.
The lake's surface is like a mirror, reflecting the azure sky, looking exceptionally beautiful, making people feel carefree and relaxed.
"Ever since I arrived on this Penglai Peninsula, I haven't had a good bath in ages. Damn it!" Long Hao Tian was somewhat excited, and began to strip off his clothes:
"When I was in the desert mountain, there indeed was a river in front of my house. But those sons of bitches, every time I went down to take a bath, they would stand upstream and pee!"
"I wonder if there are any women bathing in this lake?"
Long Hao Tian spoke as the three of them stripped themselves almost bare, leaving only their lower halves covered, before changing into the shark skin suits provided by their sect.
The movements of the three immediately caught the attention of the outer sect disciples who were weeding nearby.
Someone recognized their identities and pointed far away with his hand, saying: "Hey, look, someone is going down to the lake. Are they going to drive out the monster?"
Fang's disciple nodded and said: "Ah, it's Master Fang and the Blood Demon! Master Fang is indeed formidable. He's only been here for a day and he's already preparing to do the third task!"
Someone smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Fang Shixiong and Xue Mo are indeed worthy of being the top two strongest! They will definitely be able to complete the task quickly if they work together!"
Nangong family disciples heard this, heavily hummed, furious: "You still think Tianlong Lake is like that demon island? I bet they won't even know how they die!"
Mo Bei and the three others ignored the crowd's words, quickly taking off their clothes and putting them into storage bags. Mo Bei gazed at the sparkling Tianlong Lake, put on the waterproof mask, and with a wave of his hand: "Let's go, dive in!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three people jumped down like dumplings and plunged into Tianlong Lake, disappearing without a trace.
At the moment of entering the water, a stream of shadows emerges from the water-repellent beads on the mask and spreads out from its mouth.
In an instant, with Mo Bei's three heads as the center, the lake water within a radius of one foot suddenly retreated and filled with air.
"Hiss, hiss! I didn't expect this water bead to have such a wonderful use." Mo Bei clicked his tongue in amazement, taking big breaths of air: "It's actually possible to breathe underwater."
He thought for a moment, and what he was about to say was transmitted from the water-avoiding pearl into Long Hao Tian's and Fang Luo You's minds.
"Ah, yes, boss! And I feel like my vision is completely clear in front of me!"
Mo Beideng's eyes scanned around, and indeed it was so.
The line of sight that was originally only five zhangs away suddenly became much clearer and could see dozens of zhangs away.
In the lake, groups of colorful spirit fish swim back and forth in unison, darting about as if swimming through the air.
The lake water, which originally contained some impurities and blocked the three people's line of sight, suddenly felt invisible after the waterproof beads on their masks emitted light.
If they didn't know they were diving into the water, they would have thought they were floating in mid-air.
On the surface of this lake, within a radius of one mile, is a series of magical seals forming a water field. In this domain, countless spiritual fish are raised, which are the spiritual fish raised by Tai Xu Sect.
Continue downward, and the rice fields disappear, under the lake bottom, endless!
"How amazing! I feel like I'm floating in mid-air!" Long Hao Tian couldn't help but exclaim, gazing at the underwater world.
Those colorful little fish, swimming back and forth in the swaying water grass, on the shallow shore of the lake, various unknown aquatic insects, shells, crawling around, constantly surging.
"Yes," Fang Luo You took over the conversation, using the water droplet to transmit his voice: "Practicing at the bottom of the lake is even more effective than practicing in the sky!"
"Because of the obstruction of the lake water, our movements will be hindered, but once we adapt to this environment and reach the sky, it's even more effortless. After all, air resistance is nothing compared to the obstruction of the lake water."
"Uh," Mo Bei nodded, slowly waving his arm and stirring the lake water to adjust his posture. "However, be careful, after all, this is not a demon island. The demonic beasts in the lake must be even more formidable! Let's not leave each other more than 100 feet apart, so that we can communicate with the water droplets and respond to any unexpected situations!"
"Alright!" Long Hao Tian replied.
"Hmm!" Fang Luoyou also looked at Mo Bei and nodded at him.
"Let's go!"
Mo Bei said, swinging his body, leading the two of them slowly towards the depths of the lake.
They were unaware that when they dived into the bottom of the lake.
On the other side of Tianlong Lake, a few figures slowly emerged from the woods. Was it Lao Ba or someone else who led them?
But at this moment, Old Eighth Ji turned around with a smile on his face and said to the man beside him who had a scar like a centipede on his right cheek: "Brother Chu, those kids have already gone into the water!"
"Hmm. It's them, Fang's Fang Luoyou and that Blood Demon?" Chu Xiong nodded ambiguously, furrowed his brow, and the scar on the right side of his face twisted, making him look even more ferocious.
"Hmm!" Old Lady Ji nodded.
Chu Xiong furrowed his brow and said, "Earlier, you only mentioned the Blood Demon, but not Fang Luoyou. You know that Fang Luoyou is a disciple of the Fang family and has been highly valued. If anything were to happen to him..."
The old lady's face changed slightly, her eyes rolled around, and a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes: "As long as Brother Chu can get things done, I agree to your terms, and I'll double it!"
As he spoke, Old Eighth Ji's right hand transformed into a palm knife and swept across his own neck!
Chuxiong fell into deep thought: 'Double the pay, what a big deal! After this is done, it's probably worth three years' worth of my task rewards!'
"That Fang Luo You may be a genius, but as long as I handle things without leaving any traces, even if the truth comes to light, they'll just say that he was killed by a demon beast. It won't implicate me!"
In Chu Xiong's eyes, a burst of cold light suddenly exploded, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "Good, how do you want them to die?"
"How to die? Let them die and never die again, disappear forever on this Penglai Peninsula, unknown to gods and ghosts!"
The old lady smiled secretly, her confidence doubled: "Blood Demon, Fang Luo You! Aren't you very arrogant? Today, I will have you thoroughly buried in this Tianlong Lake!"
"How could you have imagined that I actually invited Chu Xiong!"
Xie Lao Ba's heart was thinking, the corner of his mouth that one stroke of sinister smile, became more and more obvious: "This Chu Xiong is a notorious ruthless and cunning person from Penglai Peninsula, taking people's money and doing things for them, in three years, has never made a mistake! All the outer door disciples who were targeted by him have disappeared!"
"Go, dive in!" Chu Xiong no longer hesitated, and with a single wave of his hand, he followed Old Ji and the five disciples into the water, disappearing without a trace, unnoticed by anyone.
……
Mo Bei and three others swam for about two hours.
The three of them had gradually descended to a depth of three miles below the lake's surface, where the light had faded from bright to dim, then to deep blue, and finally to an inky blackness that was impenetrable to the naked eye.
Three miles below, sunlight can no longer penetrate the lake water and shine here.
At this moment, the water-repelling bead above once again flowed with a brilliant light that spread across the eyes of the three people.
Mo Beibei's pupils constricted, and above them, a faint blue light spread out, her line of sight clearing up once again, dozens of zhang away.
"We've already entered the restricted area, okay? Now it's the spiritual fish's territory. Don't go any further, or else we'll attract more and more demonic beasts later on, Haotian..."
Mo Bei controlled his body and turned around, his feet treading the water in a very regular rhythm. He raised his head and looked at Long Hao Tian for a moment.
Long Haitian responded with a sound, his wrist turned, and the storage bag on his waist emitted a flowing shadow, falling into his palm, which was a bottle of special spirit medicine that had been prepared to attract the evil spirit shark.
Long Haitian pried open the bottle cap, and lake water poured into the bottle. Before long, the pale pink special spirit medicine dissolved into the lake water, a strange flavor slowly spreading and diffusing, drifting away with the ripples to the surroundings.
In less than a moment.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In the depths of the lake, from afar in the darkness, a low rumbling sound suddenly emerged, like waves crashing and surging forward!
As the sound drew closer, a massive black shadow, comparable to a small boat, was rapidly swimming towards the crowd from afar.
