Chapter 136: Savage Beast!

Chapter 136: Savage Beast!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

Ma Yunfei was turning red with rage. 'You people are not following the rules! You're supposed to remain silent to give the Ma Clan some face! Those who stepped out should also be people without the power to challenge the Ma Clan! What the hell is going on now?!'

The middle-aged man had a hand on the sword on his back as he stared steadily at Ma Yunfei who was beginning to feel extremely awkward. It was like he was about to pull out the sword on his back and start slashing with the slightest trigger!

"Alright, let's not fight among ourselves first. As everyone knows, something like the Primordial Heavenly Tree will definitely be guarded by savage beasts! How about we take care of the savage beasts together first, and we can talk about how we will share the Primordial Heavenly Tree after that?" An amiable-looking taoist suggested.

"Very well," Ma Yunfei gladly scurried down the stage using the opportunity offered to him. Even the two words 'very well' brought a burning sensation to his face.

Everyone casted their strange gazes towards Ma Yunfei together. Continue acting~ c*nt, keep acting~ instead of successfully posturing, you got f*cked!

Not a single person around the lake was able to remain calm as they looked at the Primordial Heavenly Tree at the center of the lake. However, no one was willing to make the first move.

After some time, a Dual Polarity Sect Evolved Jing expert was finally unable to bear the wait. Pulling out a pair of specially alloyed long knives, he started hacking at a large tree. Then, he roughly removed the leaves and branches before rolling the whole thing into the water!

Seeing that the man was about to venture forth, no one else moved and everyone only continued watching silently. Having a person volunteer to literally test the water was the best case scenario for them!

Lei Ming snorted coldly as he continued pushing the log into the water. How could he not know what these people were thinking? There was only a possibility of savage beasts appearing. His goal was never the Primordial Heavenly Tree in the first place!

The moment he saw the Primordial Heavenly Fruit, he had set his mind on it! Once he reached the island, he would pluck it and eat it on the spot before running away!

Thinking that, he plunged the two long knives into the water and used them as oars to propel the log boat.

Lei Ming did not dare to let his guard down as he rowed quickly. His eyes were alert and he watched every motion of the water like a hawk.

'He's rowed quite far already. Could it be that there's no savage beast guarding the Primordial Heavenly Tree?' The people on the bank were beginning to doubt themselves. Some of the more anxious individuals even began chopping down trees, copying Lei Ming's actions.

Bei Feng observed the calm lake silently. For some reason, he felt a chill in his heart. The quiet lake which was emitting waves of chilly air felt somewhat like the maw of a huge beast!

Without anyone noticing, a gentle ripple spread through the lake suddenly. A huge black shadow also flashed under the log boat under Lei Ming's feet!

'It's here!' Lei Ming felt all the hairs on his skin standing on their ends and his temples twitched violently as a terrifying sense of danger washed over him.

Lei Ming immediately stopped all his actions and forcefully held his breath. His palms had turned slightly pale from gripping the knives too hard.

"Splash!"

After a long period of silence, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the water, appearing behind Lei Ming!

"Heavens! What a huge snake!"

"Lei Ming is dead for sure!"

The people along the bank gasped aloud in unison. Because of the angle, they all saw the creature before Lei Ming did!

"Dual Polarity Slash!" Lei Ming did not know what sort of creature had appeared behind him, but his still body immediately erupted with strength!

Pushing heavily with his feet, the two meter thick log was directly kicked into the water while Lei Ming soared into the sky, his dual knives chopping ferociously towards his target!

The two knives glowed with a sinister shade of crimson as they drew a beautiful arc through the sky. The moment this strike was unleashed, Lei Ming was confident that even if his target was a huge boulder, he would still be able to split it apart!

"Dang!"

A burst of sparks sprang forth from the point of impact, clearly illuminating the look of despair on Lei Ming's face!

The strike he had thrown with all his might, which was capable of splitting a boulder apart, was completely blocked! At this time, the entirety of the creature which had appeared behind him was finally revealed to Lei Ming's eyes.

A snake!

More accurately, a bloody gigantic snake! The d*mned creature was at least 2 meters thick, and it was covered in a shiny layer of black scales!

Two basketball-sized eyeballs stared down at him with a mocking gaze. The gigantic snake seemed to have assumed an attitude of toying with its food.

'How is this possible?!' Lei Ming felt his entire skull going numb. His specially made dual knives were only able to leave a few faint marks on the gigantic snake's scales!

"Sha!"

The huge snake raised its head high into the sky and roared energetically!

It wasn't any of the typical hissing noises made by regular snakes. It was a roar filled with might!

"NO!"

The gigantic snake suddenly swooped downwards back into the water with its jaws wide open, swallowing Lei Ming in one gulp before the poor bastard could even land after his jump!

A magnificent wave followed the dive of the beast, sending huge ripples surging throughout the lake!

The only thing left to remind everyone of the shocking events on the lake was the bobbing log boat. Everyone was struck mute. If the snake had come ashore, they would still have the courage to face it in a fight.

But with how it was hidden under water, who knew if there was a second or a third gigantic snake in there?!

"D*mnable beast! I suggest that we throw a bunch of explosives into the lake and blast that snake to death!"

A short-tempered old man had spittle flying out of his mouth as he raised his voice. From the looks of it, he was not joking.

"No way! If we used explosives, the Primordial Heavenly Tree might get caught in the blast too!"

Everyone protested in unison. What a joke, they were here to seek a lucky opportunity, not to rid the world of all savage beasts!

By the time they blast that snake to death, their lucky opportunity would similarly be blasted to death too!

"How about we drain all the water out of the lake?" Someone suggested.

But the moment the words left his mouth, the person who made the suggestion suddenly found that everyone around him had disappeared. They all wanted to distance themselves from this fool. Drain the freaking lake, he said? How was anyone supposed to know how deep this lake was? Furthermore, where should they pump the water to? Everyone was beginning to feel amazed that such a mentally challenged individual was able to train all the way to the Evolved Jing stage!

A flurry of fervent discussions rose up. This didn't work, and that was not feasible as well. Could it be that they were only fated to stand and drool at the Primordial Heavenly Tree, which was right in front of their eyes, from afar? If that was the case, they might as well go ahead with the explosives plan!

"We can use realgar! [1] Although this creature is not an ordinary snake, realgar should still have some use against it!"

A man from Zhou Clan of Southwest China stood out and said.

"Right! We can use realgar!"

"If we pour a few tens of tonnes of the stuff in, I don't believe that that d*mn snake can continue hiding inside! At the same time, its other slithering friends will also be forced out of the lake!" A few experts immediately ran back to the cliffs which they came down from.

"Ah, the clan head and the rest are really formidable! I reckon they must be fighting a grand battle right now for the Primordial Heavenly Tree?" A group of Dark Jing practitioners had just reached the bottom of the cavern and were excitedly conversing.

"Eh? You, whatsyourname, come here! This old man has a glorious and important task for you to do!" One of the Evolved Jing masters who had come running back to get the realgar quickly called out as he spotted the group of Dark Jing fellows.

"Senior, what instructions do you have for us? Please feel free to say it! As long as you wish it, this junior will climb a mountain of blades and cross an ocean of fire to obtain it for you!" A quick-witted fellow immediately put on a fervent expression.

'Shameless!'

'Despicable!'

'F*ck! That idiot was actually faster than me!'

Seeing the boot-licking prowess of the man, everyone immediately began to curse at him within their hearts.

You're so old already, do you not want your face anymore? Is it really alright to behave like this?!

Niu Dali's eyes were filled with smugness. Ah, he was truly too clever! As long as he could earn the favor of an Evolved Jing master, he would have profited greatly!

"Good! I'll remember you!" Zhou Tian Ling was slightly taken aback by the sight of another man bowing and scraping in such a shameless manner in front of him, but he quickly recovered his senses. "Go and climb back up to the surface world and get them to bring 10... no! Bring 100 tonnes of realgar down here!"

"No problem, Senior! Such a small matter can be left to this underlin...eh?! Wait, what did you just say, Senior?!"

[1] TL/N: Realgar is an arsenic sulfide mineral, also known as "ruby sulphur" or "ruby of arsenic". Realgar is toxic. The Chinese name for realgar is xionghuang 雄黃, literally 'masculine yellow', as opposed to orpiment which was 'feminine yellow'. Its toxicity was also well-known to them, and it was frequently sprinkled around houses to repel snakes and insects, as well as being used in Chinese medicine.
