"Gurgle, gurgle…"
Little Mouse kept sinking in the Yellow Springs, spitting out a large amount of bubbles.
So this was the so-called solitary fishing through the ages?
It turned out it was the bait!
What was the difference between this and Handling a Myriad of Affairs a Day?
No wonder this Scummy Beast Tar was so generous as to offer it twenty bags of potato chips.
It thought his conscience had kicked in, but it turned out he wanted Little Mouse to be the groundbait, to fish for a big one in the depths of the Yellow Springs.
The worst part was that it had even foolishly helped the Cultivator save ten bags.
It was sold and even helped count the money!
This was simply a scam, deceiving the heart of an ignorant young mouse. It was more evil than the Faceless Brotherhood.
The Pervert Cultivator had no heart.
"Wuwuwu, so it was Little Mouse who disturbed your harmonious life, was it? I'm not worthy.
I'll just drown myself in this Yellow Springs right now…"
Little Mouse was full of resentnt, wanting the Cultivator to know how painful it would be to lose it.
When the Cultivator admitted his mistake, it would swoosh back via Transmigration.
Little Mouse revives, and the Cultivator will have to Suck Up To it!
Hmm… this Script was pretty good. As expected, Little Mouse had the potential to beco a Famous Director.
Little Mouse mused to itself. Just as it was about to follow the Script, it suddenly realized sothing.
It had already swallowed several gulps in the Yellow Springs, yet it wasn't affected by the Poison of the Yellow Springs, let alone corroded.
Could it be that it was the Rat of Destiny?
Just as it was feeling puzzled, Lu Yu's voice, tinged with speechlessness, sounded through the Soul Link, saying:
"I told you… stop being lewd whenever you have a spare mont.
Have you forgotten the origin of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree?"
As a Family mber, Lu Yu would naturally not endanger Little Mouse. He only dared to do this because he was absolutely certain.
He wouldn't go so far as to sacrifice the Lewd Hamster just to save a few bags of potato chips.
"The origin…"
Little Mouse's eyes widened.
It suddenly rembered. The origin of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree was a Descendant of the Imperial Tree, the Ghost Imperial Tree, one of the original Seven Great Imperial Trees of the Netherworld.
Its Essence was so high that not even the true Styx or Yellow Springs of the Netherworld could necessarily corrode it, let alone a Yellow Springs ecology nurtured after the death of a Bone Angel.
It was as ridiculous as trying to make an entire freshwater lake salty with a single bag of salt.
In other words, if it had just stayed calm, it wouldn't have had to drink so much water!
At this thought, the Phantom of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree erged from Little Mouse's Shadow. Ghostly Power swirled around its body, forming a Barrier that shielded it from the Yellow Springs Water.
In addition, the Rootlets of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree began to spread, absorbing the Yellow Springs Water to irrigate itself. What was a Potent Poison to living creatures was, to it, one of the nutrients it needed to grow.
Besides, ever since its birth, the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree had never had a full al, aside from the Smiling Corpse Mountain. Now that it had finally encountered a grand feast, it naturally wouldn't let it go.
It ate with gusto, transforming into a vortex as a large number of Yellow Springs Power Markings appeared on its Rootlets.
If it had opened the Proficiency Panel, it would have seen the proficiency of the 【Thousand-Faced Soul Tree】 skill shooting up, but Little Mouse was a bit depressed…
It looked at its increasingly yellow fur, which was almost the sa color as the Yellow Springs.
It was seriously affecting its looks. It couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Cultivator, why have I beco so yellow?"
If this continued, wouldn't it lose its status as the Number One Beauty Beast on the team?
Hearing this, Lu Yu pondered for a mont and answered seriously:
"Perhaps it's a case of 'Appearance is Born from the Heart'."
After all, other pet beasts were rosy-cheeked and fair, while only Little Mouse was yellow-tinged and fair.
"…"
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Little Mouse felt insulted, but what angered it the most was that it couldn't find any evidence to prove it wasn't a Lewd Hamster.
Damn it, this was the Cultivator's Verbal Stripping!
He's CPU-ing !
"Pfft!" Little Spider couldn't help but turn her head and laugh.
The Ruin Gundam trembled, and if she hadn't controlled it in ti, it would have fallen apart.
As for Eggy… it was rare for it to not think about gnawing on Little Mouse today.
Its pair of clear, stupid eyes were fixed on the Temple.
Although it hadn't ford a Contract yet, Lu Yu kept it with him most of the ti, so it was convenient to throw it at people when danger arose.
Lu Yu hadn't forgotten the main task and asked:
"Have you sensed the presence of the Will of the Bone Angel?"
"No."
Little Mouse ca back to its senses and perceived carefully for a while before shaking its head.
Although the Yellow Springs was of a higher rank than it, preventing it from exploring many areas…
…it could sense that it only had a Basic Will and did not possess the Consciousness of a Higher Lifeform.
"It seems the Bone Angel has truly perished. That's good, the danger level has been reduced considerably."
Lu Yu was thoughtful, then had Little Mouse dive down to search for the Yellow Springs Jade and that sealed object.
Just then, a Yellow Springs Nether Fish sensed Little Mouse's presence and rushed over, preparing to devour this foreign lifeform. However, before it could get close, it was seized by a Giant Hand woven from the Rootlets of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
"I can't deal with the Cultivator, but I can't deal with you lot?"
Little Mouse was furious now and had no tolerance for these annoying creatures. It threw them directly into the vortex created by the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, where they were instantly shredded and turned into fertilizer.
Although the soul strength of a single Yellow Springs Nether Fish was not high, their sheer numbers made up for it. After absorbing a large amount, Flower Buds grew on the branches of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
A Soul Fruit slowly grew and matured, and a second Flower Bud began to form.
Little Mouse also noticed this and took the opportunity to hunt more Yellow Springs Nether Fish.
The next ti the Cultivator called it gluttonous and lazy, it would domineeringly throw a good fruit in his face and add, "A reward for you."
The Cultivator wouldn't even dare to object.
Just imagining the scene felt thrilling.
Moreover, a clever Little Mouse didn't need to tire itself out.
It could just make the Mouse Clones do the work, while it simply sat at the center and controlled the overall situation.
However, the imagination was beautiful, but reality was…
Several Mouse Clones looked at Little Mouse and retorted:
"Didn't the Cultivator tell you to work? Why should we have to work Overti?"
"You're a Little Mouse, but aren't we? Believe it or not, we'll file for Labor Arbitration!"
"Down with the Black-hearted Hamster Middleman! We want to deal with the manufacturer directly."
"…"
Beneath the Yellow Springs, Telepathy flashed frequently, making Little Mouse's face darken.
How co none of this group of Mouse Clones had inherited its hard-working and diligent nature? They all just knew how to shirk their responsibilities.
And there was even a Mouse Clone that wanted to replace it to deal with the Cultivator directly.
That one had a death wish.
However, to complete the Mission as soon as possible, Little Mouse reluctantly promised to share five bags of potato chips.
Only then did the Mouse Clones unwillingly get to work, stating it was for the Cultivator's sake.
"Sisters, let's get to work!"
Mouse Clone No.
1 waved its paw, manifested a Fisherman's Outfit for itself, and then charged out.
Although the Yellow Springs Nether Fish were ferocious, they could sense imnse danger when facing the even more ferocious Little Mice and turned to flee.
But it was a step too late. They were intercepted by the Mouse Clones, who wove a large net from the Rootlets of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree to capture them.
They had directly entered Eradication Mode, not even sparing the Yellow Springs Water Ghost Flowers, dragging them away as fertilizer as well.
Paired with the blood-red Thousand-Faced Tentacles, which looked like the Red Armillary Sash, and the Soul Cloud which could Cosplay as the Wind Fire Wheels, it was a proper Beast Taming World version of Nezha's Disturbance of the Sea.
A Horde of Mice Disturbing the Sea!
Because the commotion was too great, the entire Yellow Springs was thrown into chaos, becoming extrely murky, which in turn concealed the specific situation within.
However, with several Mouse Clones and the Rootlets of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree exploring together, everything in the Yellow Springs began to be gradually revealed before Lu Yu.
On the other side,
Although the others had given up on the idea of crossing the Yellow Springs, they had been watching Lu Yu's every move. When they saw him walk over, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Did he have another thod?
Qi Wei also quickly raised his phone, ready to record, but then he saw Lu Yu take out a Spider Silk Fishing Rod.
Due to the viewing angle, they could only guess from the movents of his back that he had tied on so bait and then cast his line.
He actually went fishing!
"Although the Yellow Springs Nether Fish can evolve into the Yellow Springs Nether Horned Shark with Commander Potential, making it an excellent Undead-type pet beast, but… this is the first ti I've heard that you can fish in the Yellow Springs?"
"I'm shocked. He won't even let the Yellow Springs go.
Fishing Enthusiasts are truly terrifying!"
"Is this guy trying to earn so extra money to supplent his Inco?"
"Could it be that he didn't get his fill of fishing in the Red Dragon Mystic Realm last ti, so he ca here to satisfy his craving?"
"…"
Everyone complained silently in their hearts, feeling that Lu Yu had realized the Yellow Springs Mystic Realm was difficult to pass and was now cutting his losses.
But they weren't optimistic.
Apart from species from the Yellow Springs ecology, any other matter that entered it would be corroded, let alone being used for long-term fishing.
Moreover, the Yellow Springs Water wasn't conductive, so it was impossible to replicate the Electro-fishing maneuver.
At this thought, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If he could still succeed at this, then Lu Yu was truly a Monster.
The three Archaeologists also sighed in relief. They had been constantly outsmarted and were starting to feel like idiots.
Now, it was their turn to tackle the problem.
They finally had a chance to shine.
Boom!
Suddenly, along with a huge bang, a massive pillar of water shot into the sky, turning into a Rain of the Yellow Springs that fell with a patter.
They thought Electro-fishing was the Limit, but it turned out he could also do Blast Fishing!
That's going too far!
But although this move was cool, wasn't he afraid of waking up the suppressed entity?
"Why…"
Luo Qingyue narrowed her eyes, unable to figure out why Lu Yu was doing this.
Wasn't he afraid of breaking the Seal and releasing that terrifying being?
Whoosh!
As Lu Yu tightened his grip on the Spider Silk Fishing Rod, the entire Yellow Springs began to boil. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he suddenly pulled up.
Swoosh!
A huge black shadow suddenly shot out from the vortex. It was a giant, yellowish-brown shark with a humanoid face and a single horn on its head.
It opened its Giant Mouth, which was full of sharp teeth. It was the Evolved Form of the Yellow Springs Nether Fish, the Yellow Springs Nether Horned Shark.
It was enormous, a full ten ters long, like a small mountain, and it exuded an aura infinitely close to Spirituality Transformation. At this mont, it was incredibly furious and chomped down at Lu Yu.
Crack!
As a cold light flashed, the brutal expression of the Yellow Springs Nether Horned Shark froze. Then, a black line appeared on its body, from which countless beads of blood seeped out.
It was split in two and fell back into the Yellow Springs, splashing up a column of water.
The one who had acted was Little Spider.
She controlled the Ruin Gundam, wielding a Blood-stained Gear Greatsword that glead with a brassy color, like an Ancient Imperial Knight Commander.
Silently guarding her King!
Where the Master is, All Things Are Forbidden to Proceed!
And Lu Yu, with his back to the crowd, remained completely still, just fishing quietly, like a legendary Hermit.
Aloof and indifferent.
In reality, however… Lu Yu was looking at the water's surface with a rather strange expression, watching the Little Mice fighting frantically underwater.
They would viciously bully the weak ones, and when they t one they couldn't beat, they would toss their opponent out for Little Spider to handle.
Little Spider was very protective.
The Mouse Clones were also Family mbers, so she didn't allow others to bully them.
A clear division of labor!
"Is he planning to fish out the powerful creatures and deal with them one by one before crossing the Yellow Springs?"
Yue i said thoughtfully, and the others also thought it was very likely.
If he succeeded, they would only need to guard against the Yellow Springs Water, and the Safety Factor for crossing would be much higher.
Although it was a bit ti-consuming, it wasn't a bad thod.
Under everyone's gaze, Lu Yu continued to fish. One after another, Yellow Springs Pet Beasts were slain by Little Spider, until…
A huge sphere was fished up.
Its exterior was a sphere ford by a large number of Jade-colored Bones piled and compressed together, exuding an ancient aura. It was embraced by wing-shaped Dark Bones, forming a Bone Cage.
The surface of the cage had been corroded by a large number of Brass Gears, causing many of the bones to transform into chanical parts. Segnts of overlapping gears grew out, fitting together perfectly, as if these bones were naturally grown this way, giving off a sense of Undead Technology.
Boom!
The mont it appeared, a terrifying aura swept out like a Storm. Everyone couldn't help but step back, their souls trembling as they felt a terrifying Oppressive Aura, their expressions shocked.
They thought Lu Yu was just clearing out threats to make it easier to cross the river, but they didn't expect him to get it all done in one step and find the source of the Weirdness.
That suppressed, mysterious lifeform…
…had been fished up!
This was as exaggerated as a Novice Village Player directly stabbing the Demon King… even if it was a Female Demon King!
As expected, a Fishing Enthusiast can fish up anything except fish.
"Th-th-this…"
Even Chiyue Honglian was stamring. A cage forged from Angel Bones was fished up just like that.
Chiyue ng, on the other hand, thought it was only natural. But seeing her sister's reaction, she tilted her head, then opened her mouth, making a shocked expression with her Three-no face.
Because… the manga said that being more sociable makes people like you more.
Besides her astonishnt, Luo Qingyue felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Even a Legendary Investigator was afraid of a Cheater Assistant.
Only Yu Xiyan's expression was calm; she even felt a little like laughing.
In countless Simulations, although deviations would occur whenever Lu Yu was involved…
…there was one exception. When one beca Lu Yu's enemy, one would directly experience the "Absolute Correctness" he displayed.
That was true despair.
"This is good too.
This way, we can hand it over to the Alliance to deal with…"
Although Zhang Li was shocked, she was also a little pleasantly surprised. Solving the problem from the source was a good thing.
However, before she could speak, she saw Lu Yu leap up and land directly on the sphere. The Bone Ball trembled, making the others' hearts tremble too.
He first stomped on it a few tis, then squatted down and felt it for a while, making people hold their breath, afraid of disturbing Lu Yu. If he accidentally crushed it with too much force, the thing inside would definitely break its seal ahead of schedule.
"Be careful!"
Watching this scene, the three Archaeologists nearly had a heart attack. They were already a little hesitant about recruiting Lu Yu into the Archaeology Departnt.
He dared to casually ss with an Archaic Demonic Beast now. If he really joined, wouldn't he dare to go and wake up a Taboo Existence?
At that ti, forget the Archaeology Departnt, the entire Human Alliance might be buried along with them.
After fumbling around for a long ti, Lu Yu finally stopped. Just when everyone thought it was over, he said with satisfaction:
"Using this to sail the Yellow Springs should be no problem."
As his words fell, the entire crowd was stunned.
This guy, Lu Yu, actually wanted to use a suppressed high-level Servitor as a Ship.
Even more reckless than rowing a boat without oars…
Directly Dancing Disco on the Grim Reaper's Head!
Sorry, I have major Writer's Block.
I wrote all day and still don't feel satisfied, deleted a lot. I was going to ask for a day off, but I decided to post a 4,000-character chapter anyway.
I'll wrap this part up all at once tomorrow.
