Immortal God of War-Chapter 167: Escape from the Bottom of the Lake_1

Although there are many Jade White Magic Snakes at the bottom of the lake, they still shouldn’t be able to stop Elder Wan. However, the precondition is that Elder Wan can enter the valley.

"Alright, don’t worry. We’ll go find him right away."

Ling Yunfei acknowledged, quickly closed the Image Crystal Stone, and ran towards the valley entrance with Feng Ling’er.

Brother Wolf inquired, "Xiao Qinzi, how much longer does Brother Wolf have to wait to openly wreak havoc in Yan City?"

Qin Feiyang smiled. "Be patient, we’re nearly there."

Brother Wolf snarled, "Nonsense! How can I not be antsy? Ever since I left Iron Bull Town, I’ve been holed up in this godforsaken place every day. I’m about to go mad from frustration!"

Qin Feiyang rubbed his head and chuckled. "Alright, alright, I know it’s been tough on you. I’ll let you in on something: on the day Yiyi marries the Eldest Prince, I will reveal my true identity."

"On the wedding day?" Brother Wolf was slightly stunned, then asked in surprise, "Are you planning some grand scheme?"

"Not a grand scheme, just a small play."

Qin Feiyang’s eyes sparkled. He turned his gaze to the Elixir Scripture and, after a brief scan, locked his eyes onto the words ’Potential Elixir’.

「Outside, at the valley entrance!」

Ling Yunfei and Feng Ling’er stood on a steep rock, surveying the area before them. Within their line of sight, apart from swarms of Sand Whales, there was nothing else.

Ling Yunfei noted, "The Sand Whales that were chasing Elder Wan have all returned. He must be hiding somewhere to recover."

"Grandpa Wan, where are you?" Feng Ling’er shouted into the air.

"Elder Wan, if you hear us, please respond!" Ling Yunfei echoed.

The resonant calls spread in all directions.

WHOOSH!

Not long after, a beam of light pierced the sky, and Elder Wan appeared, his body stained with drying blood.

Simultaneously, the Sand Whales turned, raising their heads to look at Elder Wan, their eyes filled with intense hostility!

Elder Wan dared not approach. He stood high in the distance, looking down at the two. "Are you coming out?" he asked.

Ling Yunfei shook his head. "We can’t leave yet. Jian Haotian is trapped at the bottom of the lake by the Jade White Magic Snakes. Elder, please come in and help him."

"Trapped at the bottom of the lake?" Elder Wan frowned, glanced at the group of menacing Sand Whales, and said helplessly, "They’re blocking the entrance. How can I get in?"

Feng Ling’er said, "Grandpa Wan, please, just humble yourself this once!"

"Kneel?" Elder Wan asked.

Ling Yunfei and Feng Ling’er both nodded. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Well..." Elder Wan hesitated.

Ling Yunfei quickly urged, "Elder Wan, Disciple knows it’s a great imposition to ask you to kneel, but Jian Haotian is my only friend. Please, you must help him."

Elder Wan remained silent, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Senior Sister, what do we do?" Ling Yunfei turned to Feng Ling’er, his heart burning with anxiety.

Feng Ling’er said, "Go down and demonstrate for Elder Wan."

"Demonstrate?" Ling Yunfei was taken aback, then realization dawned. With a few leaps, he landed at the entrance and, without hesitation, knelt on the ground, his face full of sincerity.

All the Sand Whales immediately turned to look at him.

After Ling Yunfei performed the three prostrations and nine kowtows, the Sand Whales surprisingly retreated to the side, clearing a path!

How is this possible? Elder Wan was dumbfounded.

Feng Ling’er and Ling Yunfei were also quite astounded.

Following this, Ling Yunfei stood up and took a cautious step forward. The nearby Sand Whales didn’t move an inch.

Seeing this, Ling Yunfei let out a long breath and walked out step by step. The Sand Whales just watched him, not harming him.

Once outside, he looked up at Elder Wan and smiled. "Elder, did you see? This is the only way to enter and exit the valley."

SWOOSH!

Elder Wan landed beside Ling Yunfei, looking towards the Sand Whales.

ROAR!!!

However, he had just landed when a group of Sand Whales charged him, their killing intent soaring to the heavens!

Ling Yunfei’s expression changed. "Elder, quickly!" he urged.

"Damn it!" Elder Wan cursed, bent his knees, and knelt.

But the Sand Whales didn’t stop because of his kneeling.

"Why is this happening?" Ling Yunfei was utterly bewildered.

"You beasts! Do you think this Elder is truly afraid of you?" Elder Wan abruptly stood up, a terrifying aura erupting from within him. Having swallowed his pride to kneel and still face this, it was truly intolerable!

Ling Yunfei urgently pleaded, "Elder, I beg you, don’t fight! Please, leave quickly!"

He had a rough idea of the reason. It must be because Elder Wan killed a few Sand Whales before, so these Sand Whales are adamant about not letting him in. If the fighting continued, he, Feng Ling’er, and even Qin Feiyang would likely be in danger.

Elder Wan frowned. Looking at Ling Yunfei’s anxious face, he found it hard to refuse. "Alright then," he nodded. "You two be careful. I’ll wait for you in the distance!"

With that, he soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, and quickly disappeared. The Sand Whales also stopped their advance.

Ling Yunfei turned back to the Sand Whales and, clasping his hands respectfully, asked, "Honorable Seniors, could you allow me to enter again?"

The lead Sand Whale shook its head.

"Huh?" Ling Yunfei’s expression changed drastically. "Why not?" he quickly asked.

The Sand Whale did not answer him.

What do we do now? Ling Yunfei panicked.

That’s right! I need to inform Qin Feiyang immediately! He took out the Image Crystal Stone and quickly activated it.

When Qin Feiyang learned of the situation, his heart sank. If we can’t get out, what’s the use of obtaining the Elixir Scripture?

Brother Wolf was also hopping about in anxiety.

I mustn’t panic! Qin Feiyang took several deep breaths, rapidly calmed himself, and lowered his head in deep thought. Heaven never seals off all exits; there must be a way.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, his gaze locked onto the six ribs. The Sand Whales and the Jade White Magic Snakes are clearly guarding that skeleton. They should hold the skeleton in reverence. If I carry the skeleton’s bones, will the Jade White Magic Snakes not dare to approach?

When he told Brother Wolf his idea, Brother Wolf firmly opposed it, because it was just a guess. What if something went wrong?

"I don’t care anymore," Qin Feiyang said. "If we don’t try, we’ll be trapped here forever. Besides, even if it doesn’t work, I can just hide back in the old castle, and they can’t harm me."

"Alright then, be careful," Brother Wolf urged, clearly worried.

Qin Feiyang nodded. Grabbing three ribs in each hand, with a thought, he appeared beside the skeleton.

Instantly, his scalp prickled! All around the skeleton were Jade White Magic Snakes! They were densely packed, leaving no gaps! If anyone else had seen this, they would have been scared witless on the spot!

Qin Feiyang was also preparing to immediately retreat into the old castle. But he noticed that although the Jade White Magic Snakes looked ferocious, they didn’t approach, keeping a distance of two meters. They didn’t attack him either. When their narrow little eyes saw the ribs in Qin Feiyang’s hands, there even seemed to be a trace of fear.

Could my guess actually be right? Qin Feiyang paused, stunned. He looked down at the ribs in his hands, then slowly raised them.

The Jade White Magic Snakes immediately recoiled, the fear in their eyes growing stronger.

Seeing this, Qin Feiyang was overjoyed. Wasting no more time, he began to swim towards the surface of the lake. The Jade White Magic Snakes blocking his path also retreated.

Soon, he noticed another peculiarity. In the pupils of the Jade White Magic Snakes, besides reverence, there was also a hint of anxiety.

Are they afraid I’ll take these bones away? Qin Feiyang wondered. But right now, he had no mind to bother with it. As long as he could leave the lake, nothing else mattered.

Dozens of breaths later, Qin Feiyang finally broke the surface, seeing daylight once more. The feeling was like being reborn into a new world.

WHOOSH!!!

THUD!!!

The swarms of Jade White Magic Snakes were constantly around him, leaping up and down, utterly agitated.

Qin Feiyang ignored them and quickly swam towards the shore. When he climbed onto the bank, the Jade White Magic Snakes followed him ashore.

"Is there no end to this?" Qin Feiyang frowned. "If you weren’t trying to harm me, why would I have resorted to this measure? Stop pestering me!"

However, the Jade White Magic Snakes paid him no heed.

Who on earth was this skeleton? Worthy of these ferocious beasts guarding it so fiercely? Qin Feiyang glanced back at the lake, his mind full of questions, and ran towards the valley entrance.

Feng Ling’er was still standing before the entrance, racking her brains for a solution.

"Huh? Why are you still here?" Suddenly, a questioning voice reached her ears.

"Qin Feiyang!" She tensed, then quickly looked up. Her face instantly turned deathly pale. "Stop right there!" she shouted.

"Hm?" Qin Feiyang halted, looking at her in confusion. They were only about ten meters apart.

"First, tell me clearly, what is this situation?" Feng Ling’er was utterly astounded. Thousands of Jade White Magic Snakes surrounded him, yet they weren’t harming him. This was simply unheard of!

"It’s all thanks to these." Qin Feiyang grinned, brandishing the six ribs.

"Huh?" Feng Ling’er frowned.

"I told you these bones were treasures, but you didn’t believe me," Qin Feiyang shrugged helplessly.

Feng Ling’er’s mind was in turmoil. Since when could a dead person’s bones be called treasures? Isn’t that completely absurd?

HISSS!

Just then, a Jade White Magic Snake, with a piercing hiss, lunged towards Feng Ling’er. The other Jade White Magic Snakes, as if under orders, all surged towards Feng Ling’er.

"Damn it, what’s happening now?" Feng Ling’er’s face was ashen.

"These little things are quite clever," Qin Feiyang muttered. Clearly, the Jade White Magic Snakes want to use Feng Ling’er to threaten me.

SHING! He swiftly drew Blue Snow. "Anyone who moves again, and I’ll destroy these bones!" he shouted.

The Jade White Magic Snakes stopped as one, turning back to look at Qin Feiyang. Their cold, eerie eyes actually held a hint of pleading.

"All of you, back off!" Qin Feiyang commanded coldly. He certainly couldn’t hand over the six ribs now. Otherwise, both he and Feng Ling’er would be finished.

However, the Jade White Magic Snakes didn’t back down, seemingly determined to press the standoff.

ROAR!

A Sand Whale suddenly let out a furious roar.

The Jade White Magic Snakes finally parted, and Qin Feiyang quickly ran over to Feng Ling’er.

Feng Ling’er asked in bewildered suspicion, "You little rascal, what on earth are these dead man’s bones you’re holding?"

"We’ll talk once we’re out," Qin Feiyang whispered. He looked at the Sand Whales blocking the entrance and said coldly, "If you want these bones, let us out first."
