Chapter 813 - 330: Nether Water Dynasty_2
"What do the white triangle and green triangle marks represent on this map? Could there be two other Demon Beasts hidden on two different islands?"
"Demon Beasts... Lord Fish King, please forgive my ignorance; I do not fully understand your words..."
The handsome merman realized that both GuaGua and Mo, like all bipeds, listened to and feared him more:
"The white triangle marks a place known as ’Medicine Island.’
"There are many detoxifying plants and herbs there, useful for grave injuries, incurable diseases, and when life is on the brink... One could try their luck there, and miracles might occasionally occur..."
"As for the green triangle, that is ’Whale Island.’
"It is said that the island was formed after the fall of an ancestral Great Fish King, and currently only the Fish King is qualified to land there."
"I am not authorized enough to know what is hidden there, and I hope the honored ones will forgive my ignorance."
"A gathering place for Spiritual Medicine..."
Ye Yin was surprised and very interested:
"Perfect, if I can bring back longevity medicines that are over ten thousand years old to my clan, like the Heavenly Saint, we could continue at peak combat ability."
"Of course, the even more mysterious Whale Island is also worth exploring."
"Being called ’ancestral level Great Fish King,’ it is hard not to suspect it might be where one of our clan’s Fond Spirits fell..."
Ye Hanjun nodded, lost in thought.
After a moment, he instructed GuaGua, who continued to ask:
"Hey, I ask you, what does the ’T’ shaped mark on the map signify?"
After fully understanding the question, the handsome merman didn’t dare to raise his head, and cautiously replied:
"Reporting to Fish King, in our folklore, it symbolizes a ’door’."
"It is rumored that beyond Nether Water, there are other worlds."
"If one is fortunate enough, they might find one of these doors and have a chance to travel to other worlds."
"However, it is not an easy task. Members of our clan stand guard by those doors daily, yet the doors seldom open... Only a few have ever left Nether Water through them, and it is extremely rare."
"Isn’t this just a ’spatial rift’ or ’teleportation portal’?"
Having understood the handsome merman’s explanation, GuaGua’s eyes lit up and he leaned in closer to examine the fish scales:
"Big tadpole, the merfolk are awesome. We can save the effort of searching and investigating and just go directly to other floors!"
"The teleportations that the merfolk can’t wait for, with your and the old man’s bloodline, perhaps you could open them!"
"And if it can’t be opened, with your luck, falling into an even more dangerous 16th layer becomes much more likely!"
"Can’t you think something good?"
Ye Hanjun tapped the little guy on the head:
"The 15th layer is already so dangerous; I don’t want to go any deeper for now."
"For now, both Medicine Island and Whale Island are worth exploring, only when everyone achieves Immeasurable Perfection should we consider leaving this layer."
"Yay!"
GuaGua raised his hands and cheered:
"Let’s go to Whale Island first then; I want to see the ancestral level Great Fish King!"
"Just the name sounds impressive; if it has left one or two offspring, let’s kidnap them to be our future sea mounts!"
"You want to breed whale Fond Spirits?"
Ye Hanjun couldn’t help but laugh, preemptively giving a warning:
"Let’s get one thing straight, even the wealthiest among us might not be able to afford such creatures."
"Raising Little Lazy Lion, Yang Xiaoqi, and She Xiaoxiong already costs as much as feeding dozens of you combined, let alone adding a whale... just the thought gives me a headache."
"Let’s just go and see first!"
GuaGua clung to Ye Hanjun’s arm, pleading:
"Maybe it’s a spell-casting demon whale or a half-human-half-whale creature!"
"They say whales fall to the ocean depths to nourish all beings; I’ve never seen such creatures before, I’m very curious!"
Ye Yin took the fish scale and examined it closely:
"The distance to both Medicine Island and Whale Island is quite far from us."
"Along the way, we will surely encounter three types of merfolk, and conflict is inevitable."
"However... with Mo participating, once we enter a Dominant State, even if it’s a Fish King of Immeasurable Small Achievement, we can confidently prevail in battle."
"Hey!" GuaGua had another question, staring at the handsome merman:
"I ask you, what is the strength of your strongest Fish King?"
"How... how should I answer that?"
The handsome merman’s eyes widened in apprehension, and glancing at Mo, he hastily explained:
"A common Fish King is accompanied by dozens."
"A powerful Fish King, by hundreds."
"The strongest among Fish Kings are all Clan Leaders, ruling over a clan; other Fish Kings of lower rank must obey them."
"So, in the realm of Nether Water, are there possibly beings of Endless Great Accomplishment or Immeasurable Perfection?"
Ye Hanjun’s expression turned grave as he once again marveled at the difficulty of conquering the Tomb of Asura, muttering to himself:
"With Absolute String, Lazy, and Qing, we still don’t have the power to act as we please here. We can’t afford to let down our guard."
"Got it!"
GuaGua urged him:
"Let’s get moving, I’m so excited!"
"Handsome, you’ll be our guide. Be honest and lead us to Whale Island, and we’ll spare you!"
"Yes! I am honored to receive the command!"
Finally seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, the urgently motivated handsome merman plucked another fish scale from his rear, held it in his palm as if it were a treasure:
"Honored Fish Kings, this is a token of my sincerity!"
"Only a clan leader is qualified to grant this ’Passage Order,’ which allows us to travel freely in Nether Water without suffering from its corrosion and pollution!"
