Chapter 312: Cabriolet Fish? Into Death’s Door!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yun could have dealt with it easily if he was on land. However, he was in the strong gushing river with no bottom in sight. He couldn’t unleash his power even if he wanted to.

Therefore, the only possible way of dealing with this was to dive straight into the mouth of this water monster. He had to prevent himself from being bitten.

Ling Yun was able to use this method only because he was currently at Physique Tempering Stage Level Three. He was able to hold his breath for about two to three minutes without any issue.

To Ling Yun’s horror, he found that he couldn’t tear through the water monster’s mouth!

Fortunately, Ling Yun managed to keep the water monster’s jaw from closing. Thus, the battle between man and beast began!

“What the f*ck!” Ling Yun cursed at himself for being careless. It had nearly cost him his life. He whipped out the Emperor Brush from the spatial ring.

Ling Yun didn’t know how far he had been sent by the current. He took the Emperor Brush in his hand and kept the mouth of the water monster open with his leg.

It was like a suicide mission!

“Hmph, I’ll practice my calligraphy!” Ling Yun cursed again and drew a large square in the water monster’s mouth.

The skin of the water monster was really too thick. Ling Yun had to draw on the same area three times before he managed to pierce its flesh.

The water monster’s skin was definitely many times tougher than that of the giant python. It was impossible to penetrate its skin with a normal dagger. Ling Yun was lucky that he had decided to bring the Emperor Brush along with him.

Ling Yun kicked that square with all his might and managed to open a window through the water monster!

Ling Yun took the chance to applaud himself of his ingenuity. It was even better than Ning Er’s Ferrari!

There was no time for Ling Yun to gloat. The water monster, twitching in pain, had changed its direction and swam upwards!

The water monster was no longer a threat with half of its mouth gone. Ling Yun stood straight and shot out through the window he had created. He didn’t pause to catch his breath but instead swam with all his might towards the shore!

Splash, splash...

Ling Yun heard the rippling of the waves behind him. He stole a glance towards his back only to see numerous other water monsters gobbling up the injured one he had just escaped from!

“Sh*t, what a waste of my cabriolet fish!” Ling Yun knew he was safe for the time being as the water monsters preyed on the easy victim.

Ling Yun swam for more than three hundred meters before finally reaching the river bank.

The river bank was at the same height as the river, which enabled Ling Yun to get back onto land with ease. There were no broken pieces of rocks around this area, probably because he had been swept rather far away from the crater.

Ling Yun would have inevitably been eaten if he hadn’t come up with a plan. The situation had been really dangerous.

“What were those? Sharks? Crocodiles? They didn’t look like either...” Ling Yun wiped the river waster off his face and muttered under his breath. He walked away more than ten meters from the river.

He wanted nothing but to stay far away from the river in case something else came ashore and pulled him back into the river.

Ling Yun suddenly felt a little chilly. That brought him to a realization that he was naked except for a pair of underwear and soaked sneakers.

“F*ck, the spatial ring really saved me big time. I would have been so embarrassed if I became fish food!”

Ling Yun was right. He would have most likely died if he hadn’t been able to store his Emperor Brush inside the spatial ring.

He couldn’t possibly have held the Emperor Brush in his hand as he had washed his clothes.

Ling Yun’s sportswear was nowhere in sight. He fished out a fresh set from the spatial ring after he was almost dry.

“Hehe, I will store my Land Rover into the spatial ring once I am able to make one with sufficient space. Then, I’ll bring Ning Er and the rest for a ride here!

Ling Yun was getting ahead of himself. He took out a Fire Talisman and shouted its incantation once he was properly dressed. The flame allowed him a glimpse of his surroundings.

This place was about seven hundred meters away from the crater. The river was slightly narrower at about eight meters wide. However, the water flow was even faster. There was a rock formation about twenty meters high on top of Ling Yun. Stalactites hung from it, probably formed throughout the years as the water gushed forth from the river.

The two river banks hugging the river were about thirty meters wide each, which looked like a huge tunnel from the Crater.

Little White found Ling Yun from the light from the flames. She looked up at Ling Yun with worry in her charming face, touching the depths of Ling Yun’s heart.

“I’m fine. I killed that fish!” Ling Yun snickered and headed back to the center of the Crater. He pointed towards the southeast direction after some thought and said to Little White, “Let’s head that way.”

Ling Yun planned to enter the Crater from the southern side of the bank where the Yinyang Grass grew. Ling Yun required only the Dark Yin Qi to master the Yin-Yang harmony balance and break through to Physique Tempering Stage Four.

He would also avoid the trouble of crossing the river, especially now that he knew it was potentially deadly.

The Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell had two centers. The Earth Yin Grass grew on the north side of Nancui Peak.

With the mountain in the north and water in the south, the place was considered to be a full of yang energy. [1.Yang means shady side in Chinese Philosophy] The caster of the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell had obviously known about the underground river. The valley was also an auspicious place.

Ling Yun came to the southeastern corner of the Crater under the cliff’s lip. He pondered while gazing at the caves on the blade-like cliffs.

They would reach the belly of the mountain in less than fifty meters into the cave. That also meant walking into the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell.

“Little White, where did you come out from?” Ling Yun lowered his head and asked.

Little White gave Ling Yun a knowing look and dashed towards the middlemost cave.

“Wait...” Ling Yun blocked Little White’s path with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability as he shook his head. “Let’s use the third path in the south!”

Ling Yun was a master at spell formation. The cave that Little White had exited from was safe, but it definitely didn’t have what Ling Yun wanted.

“Follow me!” Ling Yun grinned with the steel nails in his left hand and the Emperor Brush in his right.

Ling Yun dashed into the cave engulfed in total darkness. Nonetheless, Ling Yun had a visibility of more than ten meters since there was no fog.

The cave was huge but very humid. Water dripped everywhere. Ling Yun walked for about a hundred meters with a slightly bent body and entered the range of the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell. He could feel the Dark Yin Qi seeping out.

We’re on the right path!

Ling Yun smiled confidently and sped up with Little White at his side. He didn’t not forget to observe his surroundings carefully.

Ling Yun hadn’t been able to see into the Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell even with his divine sense. Only the heavens knew what kind of monster the Dark Yin Qi could breed.

In the pitch dark cave, only the sound of dripping water and their footsteps accompanied them.

The cave became wider as they traveled deeper. Ling Yun was calculating the distance silently and thought that they would arrive soon when he saw two new routes at the side of the cave.

Ling Yun could have absorbed the Dark Yin Qi from here if he wanted to. The air was thick with it. He would just take more time to break through.

However, Ling Yun didn’t give a damn about the trashy Dark Yin Qi and concentrated on deciding which cave to enter. He sought to absorb the pure Dark Yin Qi directly from the Earth Yin Grass!

Ling Yun knew that he couldn’t continue on with his current route. It would lead him further away from his goal.

These two new caves were obviously man-made. They were known as the birth gate and the death gate in spell formation. Ling Yun contemplated and pointed his Emperor Brush towards the cave on his right.

“This is the death gate. Let’s enter it!” Ling Yun beamed and ran in.
