Chapter 260: Terrifying Water Beasts
"Makes sense. If you want the Ice Lotus, then use your own abilities to grab it. Whoever gets it will keep it." Fei Hou frowned slightly and finally spoke.
"Sure!"
"Agreed, this is fair."
Cang Meng and Lu Kai also nodded their heads, agreeing with the suggestion Ye Xiao gave.
It was unknown what they would think if they were to know that the suggestion was given by the same young man who stole the Wind Chasing Horses.
With that said, the three of them jumped into the glacial lake without any hesitation to search for the Ice Lotus.
"Hua!"
In the middle of the glacial lake, the lake water instantly formed many bubbles, bringing up splashes of blood as it rose to the surface. It was obvious that the water-type magical beasts in the lake had been killed by the three young masters.
From time to time, ma.s.sive waves of lake water were forming. It was clear that Fei Hou, Cang Meng, and Lu Kai were fighting with the magical beasts inside the lake.
"Let"s go take a look!"
There were also some people who walked forward to the glacial lake. They wanted to see clearly what was happening and if possible, they also wanted to jump in the lake to search for the Ice Lotus. This way, maybe, they were lucky and get their hands on the Ice Lotus before the three young masters, how great it would be. So, the cultivators moved and rushed towards the lakeside.
"Scram!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out and a few Martial Emperor Realm Experts lined up in a row, with their bodies surging with energy. The aura around the experts surged and stopped the group of people to advance further.
"No one is allowed to take even a single step further. Whoever dares to advance will be killed without any mercy." The three great forces had blocked all the cultivators from going ahead.
"Why? This is a glacial lake, it"s not your family"s territory. This place belongs to everyone, what right do you have to take it for yourselves?"
The crowd questioned. This glacial lake was a few kilometers wide and there were only twelve experts from the three families blocking the people.
"That"s right, do you think that your three factions are very powerful? Previously, when your mounts were stolen by a small brat, you were unable to do anything to him and now, you dared to block us!"
One after another, people continue to question.
"You..." These experts of three families did not know what to answer. They could only look at the crowd with anger.
They could kill these people easily as these people were not that powerful at all but doing so will attract public rage.
There were also a few Martial Ancestor Realm experts but they all belong to the three families and were standing guard for their young masters. Seeing the people wanting to advance further, they released their aura and suppressed all these people.
"Rumble!"
Just at this moment, within the glacial lake, the waves raised were even more terrifying than before, making people even more agitated.
"You bunch of idiots, quickly go into the water. There can not be just one glacial lotus in the water, maybe there are other treasures, or maybe there are even more glacial lotuses." Suddenly a person shouted loudly seeing the continuous waves of lake water, making people who were being suppressed by the aura of the Martial Ancestor Realm experts, more and more agitated.
It is said that to get a treasure, people can gamble their lives very easily. The current situation was exactly like that. When a person shouted to go to the lake, his shout worked as fuel, igniting the desire in people"s hearts, making them even more greedy.
They ignored the threatening aura of the Martial Ancestor Realm experts and moved toward the lake at once.
"Since there is an Ice Lotus here, there must be a second one. Now that several young masters are here, they must have attracted the attention of the experts among the water-type magical beasts. I feel that it"s not unreasonable for us to be in the water now."
With that said, a person besides the lake jumped.
"Bang!"
Before the experts blocking them could react, the cultivator had already jumped into the lake. Following him, more and more people jumped into the water.
"Right now the three geniuses of three families are fighting a fierce battle. They can not care about the Ice Lotus for now. This is our chance."
Everyone"s eyes lit up, especially when they heard the plop sounds. Some of them were even more impatient, turning into a ray of light and rushing towards the glacial lake.
At the same time, more and more figures flew past and rushed towards the glacial lake.
"Scram, scram for me!"
The Martial Emperor Realm and Martial Ancestor Realm experts of the three major powers made their moves, wanting to stop these people. They attacked the people who were jumping into the lake.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Being struck by the experts, their bodies became unsteady and they fell straight into the glacial lake, dying the water red.
But there were hundreds of people rushing toward the lake. They were unable to stop all of them. Soon, there was no one except for Ye Xiao and the experts of three families were left outside the lake.
Those experts did not look at Ye Xiao as he was the only person who did not jump in. Since all the people are already inside the lake searching for Ice Lotus, how could they still care about a person who was outside?
These experts looked at each other and also jumped in the lake to help their young masters search for the Ice Lotus.
Only young master Zhao did not come here to look for the Ice Lotus as he knew that even if he were to get the Ice Lotus, he will not be able to keep it for himself. The three young masters will definitely s.n.a.t.c.h the Ice Lotus from him.
He was the young master of the Zhao Family. Although in the eyes of Little Orchid Town"s people, he was someone not to be trifled with. But in the eyes of three young masters, he was just an ant.
If he refused to give them what they want, they will kill him immediately without care. So he simply did not come here to compete for the Ice Lotus. It could be said that this Young Master Zhao was very smart.
"I should also go now. Ice Lotus, I must have it. I can evolve it to Seventh Stage Medicinal Herb and it will be a great help for my cultivation." Ye Xiao mumbled and jumped into the lake.
"Plop!"
With a "plop" sound, Ye Xiao went inside the glacial lake and could not help but exclaim, "So cold!"
This was the glacial lake, a lake that was formed after the ice mountain melted. How can its water not be cold?
Ye Xiao dived inside the water and began to search for the Ice Lotus. He spread out his Divine Sense and covered a large area of the lake. There was nothing inside the range of several hundred meters that was hidden from him.
Following the spread of his Divine Sense, he saw even more water-type magical beasts. They were densely packed together and very large in size. One of them was at least ten meters tall.
It was at the bottom of the lake, and its speed was as fast as lightning. It continuously shuttled back and forth, creating huge waves, and fought a fierce battle with the three geniuses.
Yes, the moment Ye Xiao spread his Divine Sense, he was immediately able to locate the three geniuses.
Around them were many water-type magical beasts that were close to five meters long, constantly attacking the following cultivators. Among them were three Martial Emperor Realm Experts that dived inside the lake after the people jumped in.
There were a lot of water-type magical beasts at the bottom of the lake and deep in the lake, there were even stronger magical beasts.
In this period of time, the Martial Emperor Realm Experts unleashed their martial arts skill and killed dozens of water-type magical beasts. However, even more of them continue to come came.
Hundreds of water-type magical beasts swarmed forward and surrounded the Martial Emperor realm martial artists, forming a big round ball.
At this moment, it was impossible for them to even run. Once they fled, more and more water-type magical beasts would swarm over, as if they were practicing group fighting techniques. Once they charged up and formed a ball of meat, then everything would be over.
It only took a few breaths. This big round ball scattered, and inside the ball, there was nothing left. The experts were already swallowed by the magical beasts.
Ye Xiao was so shocked when he saw this that he could not swim forward for a while. The big round ball just now was filled with thousands of water-type magical beasts.
