SFS Chapter 800 Bottomless Lake
Chapter 800 Bottomless Lake
It wasn't until the early morning of the third day that Ye Kang and Hui Xin arrived near the Bottomless Lake.
This place is completely far from human habitation, with flat lakes and marshes scattered everywhere, lush with aquatic plants, creating isolated bodies of water.
The two gazed into the distance, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
Ye Kang sighed, "This place is much better than Thousand Poison Swamp and Demon Serpent Valley. At least there is no annoying miasma and fog, and you can see into the distance at a glance."
Huixin quickly reminded him, "Junior Brother Ye, you must not let your guard down. Although there is no thick fog at Bottomless Lake, its danger level is definitely no less than that of the other three dangerous places."
"Why?"
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard a teacher say that there are many water palaces in the Bottomless Lake, and some of them are inhabited by demon emperors whose strength is comparable to the Dao Integration Realm. Moreover, because the Bottomless Lake is too deep, humans cannot enter it at all and have no way to deal with these demon lords."
"I see. That is indeed a dangerous place. Senior Sister, how dare you break through in such a place?"
"Our eldest sister is born with a Daoist physique and is exceptionally fond of water, unlike us. Moreover, she knows a demon emperor and is temporarily residing in that demon emperor's territory."
"Such a strange thing has happened?"
Ye Kang couldn't help but become even more interested in this senior sister, who was actually able to befriend a demon emperor.
The titles of demons differ somewhat from those of humans; they prefer honorific titles rather than names based on their realm.
That is, the king, emperor, and monarch.
Star Demon King, Nirvana Demon Emperor, Returning to Truth Demon Lord, Harmonizing Dao Demon Emperor.
The fact that the eldest sister was able to befriend a Nirvana Demon Emperor must have come from some extraordinary encounter.
Huixin took out a jade slip.
"This is a map left by our senior sister before she left. If we follow the map, we can go to the territory of that demon emperor. That demon emperor has a calm and steady personality and does not like to have conflicts with humans. His territory is also in the edge of the marshland, so it is safe."
"That's good."
The two immediately followed the map and headed forward, soon arriving at the territory of the demon emperor.
The surroundings were calm, and the water plants swayed gently in the breeze, appearing to pose no danger.
Huixin whispered, "Junior Brother Ye, this is my first time here too. I hope I won't encounter any impolite monsters..."
"What is Senior Brother thinking? There's no doubt about it."
"Ah! We can't fight them, or Senior Sister will blame us..."
Huixin's face turned pale again. Before anyone even appeared, he had already succumbed to his social anxiety and slowed down his walking.
Without anyone noticing, he disappeared behind Ye Kang.
Ye Kang sighed helplessly.
This senior brother seems to be worried about making things difficult for the senior sister, but in reality, he is simply afraid of meeting strangers and has an extreme degree of social anxiety.
Ye Kang reassured him, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. Senior Sister must have already made arrangements. This won't happen."
As soon as he finished speaking, a column of water exploded and rose from the swamp in front of them. From among the countless water droplets, two sharp claws swept fiercely, heading straight for Ye Kang and Hui Xin's heads.
In an instant! Ye Kang extended his right fist and slammed it out with incredible speed.
The fist burst forth with force, scattering countless white fist shadows. With just one strike, the attacker let out a wail and was sent flying backward in pain, landing on a patch of water plants.
"who!"
Ye Kang shouted, and a turtle covered in sharp thorns rolled off the water plants and awkwardly retreated into its shell.
"Spare me! Spare me!"
The turtle let out a terrified cry, trembling, and blood gushed from one corner of its shell, staining a patch of grass red.
Ye Kang's punch just now shattered one of the opponent's arms, and cracks were also exposed in the tortoise shell.
Such severe injuries caused the turtle demon's soul to tremble, and it was filled with deep regret.
His tortoise shell was, after all, a bloodline talent, indestructible, and he had never encountered anyone who could break through his defenses.
Today, however, I ran into a tough opponent and was blown apart by a single punch from a human.
With such a vast difference in strength, escape was out of the question; all they could do was beg for mercy.
Ye Kang and Hui Xin also landed in front of the turtle demon, looking down at him with murderous intent.
"What kind of monster is this, daring to launch a sneak attack? It's clearly trying to kill us. In that case, we have no choice but to kill them."
Ye Kang spoke coldly, then raised his fist. The turtle demon's pupils shrank sharply, and he jumped up and kowtowed, almost with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Grandpa, spare me! I didn't mean to! I was only ordered to guard the Water Palace and drive away outsiders. I had no intention of killing anyone! Our Lady said that we must not kill anyone, and I dare not disobey!"
"Really?"
Ye Kang's fist neither fell nor lowered.
He had indeed sensed that the turtle demon had no intention of killing him, but it was impossible for him to be let off so easily.
He laughed and said, "Interesting. You say you don't have it, so what if I insist you do?"
"Grandpa, spare us! My lady is on good terms with humans; we're all family!"
Upon hearing this, Huixin's expression shifted, but Ye Kang quickly stopped him from speaking, asking, "Who is your mistress?"
"Grandpa, my lady is known as Lady Qingwei. Her human friends currently live in the Water Palace. There is absolutely no secret about it!"
Ye Kang smirked and lowered his fist.
"So you're one of us. To be honest, I'm here to see my senior sister, who is a friend of your Lady Qingwei."
"What! You should have said so earlier!"
The turtle demon was numb, thinking to himself, "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have had to suffer such a serious injury."
But on the surface, he still said with utmost enthusiasm, "We're all family! You scared me half to death, it's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple, hahaha!"
"Hmph, but you attacked your own family and even tried to hurt us. I'll have to tell your mistress about this."
"What! Absolutely not!"
The turtle demon's face paled as he thought of his mistress's attitude towards that human woman, which was practically like that of sisters.
If the Empress finds out that I laid a hand on that person's junior brother, how could she let me off easily?
You acted impulsively! Why didn't you ask before you acted?
The turtle demon was extremely annoyed, but at this moment he could only lower his head and beg for mercy, saying, "Hero, there is no need to tell the Empress about this matter, lest it affect the relationship between them."
"How can that be? With such a wicked servant in the house, I am even more worried about my senior sister's situation. Why not take this opportunity to bring her back and never have anything to do with your mistress again?"
Ye Kang raised his head and began to speak to himself.
The turtle demon's face darkened, and he whispered, "So you want me dead?"
Ye Kang smiled slightly: "Who knows?"
A moment later, the turtle demon gritted his teeth and said, "You've crippled one of my hands, what more do you want?"
"That's not quite right. I'm just worried about my senior sister's safety. However, I've heard that this swamp is full of treasures, especially the underwater demons who have found countless treasures. I wonder if Brother Turtle could tell me if this is true or not?"
