Chapter 233: Ex… expert
“This is…”
When they left the tunnel, they noticed that the situation was a little off. They had appeared on a cliff.
The geographical situation around was like a giant hole. They looked down and they couldn’t see the bottom. It was like a deep abyss and a grey mist floated around.
He raised his head. In the distance, there were many black volcanoes that gave off thick black smoke. It was like hell on earth.
“Have we came to the depths?” Lin Fan asked.
He had no understanding of Black Mountain at all, he was a total stranger to it. When he crossed the ocean, he really didn’t see any black volcanoes. What he saw were trees, like those primitive forests.
Elder Yunsheng said in shock, “This should be it.”
Their original plan was to leave Black Mountain. They didn’t want to head in but the heavens didn’t give them a chance and forced them here. All of this wasn’t voluntary.
“Senior Brother, look below. Are those shining stones Heaven Crystal Stones?” Elder Yunyou asked. He was unsure. There was thick fog blocking and one could only see those shining stones.
Elder Yunsheng looked out and after looking for a long time, he said, “It seems like it.”
“What are Heaven Crystal Stones?” Lin Fan asked. He suddenly felt that he was a noob, he didn’t know anything at all. He was really afraid that treasures appeared in front of him and he didn’t recognize anything. Those scenes would be really awkward.
It really felt like he was blind.
“Young hero Lin, Heaven Crystal Stones are precious crystals. I don’t know why they are formed but they are used to create god weapons. They can only be melted by God Essence Realm using their True Essence. To us, it is totally useless but on the market, the price of Heaven Crystal Stones is still really high.” Elder Yunsheng said.
He had a thought.
“Young hero Lin, I will get some for you. You can exchange for Grandmaster techniques on the market. If they are slightly bigger and can be crafted into a complete weapon, it would be enough to exchange for many techniques.”
Lin Fan was stunned, were people from Danxia Island so friendly?
We weren’t familiar with one another and he could do all that. He felt like he wasn’t good enough for all that.
“No, you are mad. We aren’t sure what the situation is. Look at that abyss, I feel like there are dangers hiding there.” Lin Fan stopped Elder Yunsheng. Don’t be rash, it is best to be safer.
Even if a master helped him make a divination and said he could live to 300, he still shouldn’t do all this.
If that master found out, he might rip your head open.
However, it was unknown whether or not that master was real.
Elder Yunsheng looked closely, “There isn’t anything dangerous. This abyss seems calm, there is nothing there. Why don’t I gather those stones and give them to you to thank you for your help.”
At that moment, a low voice spread out from the area in front, like there was something climbing.
“Shush! Something is coming.” They hid in the tunnel and looked on carefully.
At that moment, those tentacles appeared. A dense cluster of them, each one wrapped onto a person. Those people screamed out as their palms slapped about. There were even people who used blades to slash but they were unable to cause any damage to the tentacles.
“Elder Yunsheng, you can go collect them now.” Lin Fan was stunned. What monster was that? It actually had so many tentacles. How big did it have to be?
Elder Yunsheng closed his eyes and kept silent. He didn’t dare to say anything.
The faces of the three of them turned ashen white.
These tentacles had forced them here.
He didn’t expect that so many people would face dangers, there were even many who were familiar looking. To them, they were all experts.
However, today.
These people who they deemed as experts were all captured by the tentacles. That thing was just too terrifying.
“This damn thing, let us go.”
“Disgusting, what monster is this?”
Screams spread out.
Maybe to these people, they didn’t expect that they would face such a thing.
“Young hero Lin, we can’t stay in this place.” Elder Yunsheng was shocked. His eyes locked onto those thick black tentacles. He said out what he believed to be true.
That was that, they couldn’t stay here and they had to retreat. They had to go quickly, otherwise, it was unimaginable what other more terrifying things would happen.
Suddenly, the voice from the abyss sounded like some living being breathing after it woke up.
The mist in the abyss bellowed. The pillars shook and numerous broken stones rolled down.
The earth moved and the mountains shook.
Lin Fan and the others couldn’t stand still.
“What is this?” Lin Fan didn’t expect that he would face anything terrifying. After all, he had never seen anything like this.
Elder Yunsheng trembled. He felt a really horrifying aura from within.
Lin Fan sneaked to the corner and looked down. He noticed a beast appeared. This beast was like an octopus, a round head, pitch blade surface. Numerous lantern-sized were on its head.
Many tentacles stretched out from the abyss and smacked onto the walls.
“I feel like we have come to a monster paradise and we are the food?” Such a thought appeared in Lin Fan’s mind. As for using Bug Controlling Technique to control this octopus, one shouldn’t joke around.
One had to know their place.
What was his cultivation and how big was he?
How big was this octopus monster?
Just by comparison, one would know that as long as he tried, then he would become its food.
“Young hero Lin, this monster is too terrifying.” Elder Yunsheng’s tone stammered like he was really afraid.
Lin Fan said softly, “Eh, it is indeed scary. My thoughts were right, someone purposely spread news to bluff people here. They just wanted people to be the food for this monster.”
Elder Yunsheng looked at Lin Fan and realized that he was right.
Black Mountain wasn’t an amazing place, it was just a mountain in the Nutao River. How could it compare to those true secret lands?
So many years had passed.
Although people said they obtained treasures from Black Mountain, however, it was understandable if someone purposely placed the treasures there.
At that moment, those experts that were wrapped up by the tentacles were sent to the corner of the abyss. When they saw the monster within, they were all shocked. They struggled and roared out. Thick internal strength spread out but to those tentacles, it was totally useless.
A weird scream exploded out from the weird mouth of the octopus monster.
It opened its closed mouth, the two rows of teeth were terrifying. Closely after, numerous thin tentacles were like bullets that struck forward. Instantly, it pierced those bodies and then dragged them toward its mouth.
Kachi!
Kachi!
There was the sound of bones cracking.
In the blink of an eye, those experts were swallowed.
“This is…” Lin Fan was shocked. Facing these horrifying beings, he was totally helpless. He noticed that there were many caves on the cliff.
There was someone there.
Looking closely, wasn’t that the Xiedao Sect Expert?
He was in a bad state and had blood on his body. He actually escaped from the tentacles and hid into a cave.
Many living people hid in the caves.
All of them survived the tentacles?
At this moment, Lin Fan saw the Xiedao Sect Expert and he saw Lin Fan too. When enemies met, things reached a boiling point.
Lin Fan directly grabbed a huge stone and was prepared to throw it at him to let the monster in the abyss notice him.
However, at that moment.
The Xiedao Sect Expert actually knelt down. He knelt to the ground and kowtowed toward Lin Fan.
His hands turned into a fist and intersected like he was begging.
Like he was asking him not to throw, that he was begging him to forgive him. He wanted peace, no one tossing rocks at one another.
“Bastard!”
A light shone in the air and an extremely strong sword intent spread about.
Lin Fan raised his head and saw a man surge through the air.
A shocking light appeared from the sword. He pointed forward and the sword light sliced the sky, slicing off one of the tentacles that was shaking in the sky.
Si!
The monster screamed like he didn’t expect that there would be ants that could injure it.
“Sword Palace Elder Han.” Elder Yunsheng exclaimed.
“You know them?” Lin Fan asked.
“Eh, I met him once, Sword Palace Elder Han, Middle God Essence Realm. His sword intent is really terrifying, it seems like we are safe. No matter how strong this beast is, it is definitely no match for Elder Han. It seemed like what you said was real, that Elder Xu was killed which was why Elder Han came to take revenge.” Elder Yunsheng said.
Just as the two of them were talking, there was a huge change.
“Dragon Elephant.”
Elder Han hollered. The sword that appeared in the sky shook and thousands of sword lights exploded out. The light scattered and numerous long swords floated in the air.
Each sword blade had an image floating on it.
An image of a dragon and an elephant.
“Slice!”
Xiu!
The long sword broke through the air, striking down like raindrops.
“Oh my god, is this why God Essence Realm is so strong?” Lin Fan looked forward. This wasn’t something the Martial Path could describe, or rather one could say that it was a true ability.
If I became a God Essence Realm Expert, what would those scenes be like?
Honglong!
10,000 swords landed, shocking the entire area. The entire abyss was shaking and the octopus monster screamed out in pain.
Lin Fan couldn’t open his eyes. Although the sword wasn’t aimed at them, because they were too close, they were still affected.
“Such strong sword intent. If such an expert locks onto me, I won’t be able to escape.” Lin Fan exclaimed.
He had to respect him.
That was the truth.
“No, I have to look clearly. How strong is a God Essence Realm Expert?” Lin Fan thought in his heart. Just as he was about to do something, with a loud “peng”, a person landed in front of them.
Elder Han held a sword, blood spurted out of his mouth. His eyes were filled with shock. His chest was stabbed and blood flowed from it.
“Expert… expert.”
Lin Fan was stunned, what happened?
Just now, they were talking about God Essence Realm being strong but why in the blink of an eye was he was beside him and heavily injured?
This…
