“This Dongtan Lake, is not like the county town, under Dongtan Lake, is the world of demonic beasts, not a place under the control of our human race.”Liu Su Dong explained.
“Oh? Under East Tan Lake, it’s actually a world controlled by demonic beasts?”Lin Yun had.
“That’s right, East Tan Lake is vast, with a depth of over a thousand metres at its deepest point, and there is a Demon Emperor equivalent to the Third Stage Harmonisation Realm underwater, along with a number of Demon Kings and Demon Generals.”Liu Su Dong said.
“Although the Harmonisation Realm is strong, it should be easy for the empire to exterminate it, right?”Lin Yun was even more puzzled.
“The demonic beasts in the lake, are all aquatic creatures, they are like fish in the water, can be super strength to play, one and human beings in the water, once the depth of 500 metres down, can be played out of the strength, less than one or two percent, the speed is also completely incomparable with these aquatic demonic beasts, the extermination is extremely difficult.”Liu Su Dong said.
A third-ranked merged aquatic demonic beast was able to explode the speed and power of the Empyrean Realm in the water, this was the frightening aspect.
“Even cultivators who comprehend the Water Upanishadic Laws are similarly limited when they go deep underwater, they are just much better than ordinary cultivators.”
“Because of this, within the four empires, there are still many lakes with vast areas that are occupied by demonic beasts, where they all belong to the territory of demonic beasts, including the Endless Seas, which are likewise not places that we humans can dabble in or control.”Liu Su Dong explained.
“I see.”Lin Yun nodded indistinctly.
Immediately after, Lin Yun smiled bitterly, “If that’s the case, even the government doesn’t dare to go down to the water to exterminate it, isn’t having a few of us Third Order Transformation Spirits go down to the lake to fetch the Origin Water Lotus the same as sending them to their deaths?”
Lin Yun wasn’t afraid of dangerous missions, but a mission that completely sent people to their deaths, Lin Yun definitely wouldn’t do it.
Even if the reward was generous, what use was it if people died?
“Not necessarily, if a cultivator with a strong realm goes down to the East Tan Lake, once the demonic beasts notice, the water demon emperors, demon kings, etc., will definitely come out quickly, but the one who goes is only in this realm of Transformation Spirit, the other party will not care too much about it, and the other party will definitely take it lightly, and that’s the, best opportunity to seize the Origin Water Lotus!”Liu Su Dong said.
“That’s not unreasonable, but the danger is still incredibly great.”Lin Yun sighed.
Even if it was belittled by the enemy.
But once you managed to get the Origin Water Lotus, once it was in your hands, all the demonic beasts would definitely be alarmed and would definitely chase after you desperately, so they wouldn’t let you go easily.
And the escape speed of human cultivators underwater, and too slow, once the underwater demonic beasts caught up and surrounded, that is a dead end.
“This, old man I certainly have considered, this is the extreme grade elixir water-repellent dan, one of you, the effect can only last for ten minutes, and the most you can take in a day is one, so you have to make reasonable use of this water-repellent dan to escape.”
Liu Su Dong took out three Water Resisting Pills.
“Also, there is a good helper that should be arriving soon.”Liu Su Dong said.
As soon as the words fell, an old man and a young man, two figures walked in from outside the house.
“Eh? Demon beast aura?”
Lin Yun vaguely felt the aura of a demonic beast from that old man.
“Grandpa Quicksilver, Sister Quicksilver Rhyme, hello.”The young man who entered the house immediately greeted the two of them, Liu Su Dong.
“Come come come, let me introduce you, these two, are the other two teammates.”
“This young gentleman is Young Master Ren Qi, the Ren Family was once considered a big family with a good reputation in my East Tan County.”
“This old man beside young master Ren Qi is the Ren Family’s family protection battle pet that they had the fate to take in a thousand years ago, an old softshell turtle with the strength of the Cave Void Realm, the old softshell turtle is a creature of the water, it is deeply versed in water, and it can detect the movement of the creatures in the water, so it can play a great role in this mission.”Liu Su Dong introduced.
“Duke Ren, let me introduce these two to you again, this is Fellow Daoist Lin Yun, with a strength of the third stage of Transformation God, this is Fellow Daoist Mo Qing, with a strength of the third stage of Transformation God as well, and has already comprehended the fledgling of the Water Upanishad, which is very suitable for this mission.”Liu Su Dong introduced.
“Old softshell turtle, hello.”Lin Yun went forward to shake hands with the battle pet old softshell turtle.
“Hello, Sir Lin, since we’re on a mission together, I hope to take care of you.”The old softshell turtle said with a smile.
“You’re well versed in water, so I’ll ask you to take care of me more, senior.”Lin Yun was courteous.
Immediately after, Lin Yun looked at this Young Master Ren Qi.
“Young Master Ren, hello.”Still wearing a smile, Lin Yun went forward to give him a handshake.
“Hello.”
Ren Qi just casually responded and then dropped his gaze to that female cultivator Mo Qing.
“Fellow Daoist Mo Qing is so graceful, today, when we go to East Tan Lake on a mission, with me and my family’s old soft-shelled turtle, Cultivator Mo Qing can rest assured.”Ren Qi wore a smile and was going to go forward to shake hands with Mo Qing.
“Hmm.”Mo Qing just responded indifferently and did not shake his hand.
Ren Qi, however, was enthusiastic: “Fellow Daoist Mo Qing, you don’t seem to be very old, to be able to grasp the fledgling Water Upanishad at such a young age, you really have a great future ahead of you, since we’re all on a mission together, it’s fate, how about making a friend?”
“It’s better to complete the mission first.”Mo Qing said.
“Alright, let’s talk about the mission first.”Ren Qi smiled and nodded.
Liu Su Dong looked at Lin Yun and inquired, “Lin Yun, now that the mission has been explained and the means of escape has been made clear to me, will you continue to take on this mission? If you don’t want to, I still have alternatives, I will quickly notify the alternatives to come over, you just need to ensure that you don’t reveal this mission.”
Lin Yun heard this and also fell into deep thought.
The danger of this mission was obviously very, very high, and could even be said to be playing with one’s life.
With a lake as big as Dongtan Lake, an area equivalent to two or three provinces of Earth, the number of demonic beasts underwater was bound to be terrifying.
However, with the Water Avoidance Pill and that old soft-shelled turtle, it did increase some of the hope of the mission succeeding, not that there was necessarily no chance.
“Elder Liu Su, I promise.”After Lin Yun thought about it, he finally agreed.
If Lin Yun wanted to compete for the Creation Pill at tomorrow’s auction, he had to have enough sufficient spirit crystals.
Moreover, if Lin Yun refused to take the mission, the Liusu Clan was afraid that they would withdraw their warning to Liu Chuan, which would be extremely unfavourable for Lin Yun as well.
“Very well.”When Liu Su Dong saw Lin Yun respond, he nodded in satisfaction.
Finding candidates to go under the water was originally not easy to find, Liusu Dong looking for that Mo Qing, all at a small cost, asking for favours.
“For this mission, there can’t be too many people, otherwise it will scare the snakes, so there will be just a few of you in total.”
“Three of you, this is the Water Avoidance Pill, you guys first put it away, plus a deposit of 30,000 Spirit Crystals for one person, the effect of the Water Avoidance Pill can only be maintained for ten minutes, so you guys can use it flexibly according to the situation.”
Liu Su Dong said while handing over the Water Avoidance Pill and Spirit Crystals to each of the three people.
The old softshell turtle naturally did not need the Water Avoidance Pill, it was an underwater creature itself.
“If you can successfully retrieve it, you will have the heavy reward I promised you, if you accidentally sacrifice yourselves in the Dong Tan Lake, then you won’t be able to get any reward.”Liu Su Dong said.
“With my family’s old soft-shelled turtle here, this mission, there will definitely be no problem, Grandpa Liusu, the reward you promised me, you can’t go back on your word.”Ren Qi said with a smile.
