Chapter 860: Clam Girl
Han Fei strode forward and didn’t stop until he was thirty meters from the purple flames. He didn’t see any information in his eyes.
Han Fei realized the problem. He felt that his eyes were blurred, and that some sort of power was trying to control his mind.
Han Fei instantly waved his head and put a peppermint into his mouth.
His head instantly became clear. He was quite satisfied with the effect of the peppermint. His earlier trance had completely disappeared.
Han Fei extended his finger and darted a Void Line towards one of the purple flames.
Huh! Deng…
At that moment, Han Fei heard the pleasant song of a gentle woman loud and clear.
Han Fei instantly recalled the Void Lines and walked to the wall not far away.
Le Renkuang shouted from behind, “Han Fei, slow down! Don’t get so close.”
Han Fei ignored them. He didn’t see any information until this moment.
Enchanting Pupas
The evil Clam Girls absorb natural essence, corrupt the deceased souls, and enchant the pearl divers as charming pupas. Once you’re infected by the charming pupas, you’ll gradually get lost.
Souls swallowed by the creatures can be recovered gradually.
“Clam Girls?”
Han Fei’s pupils contracted. He quickly moved back to Luo Xiaobai and took out a handful of peppermints. “Each of you will have one of these. If you feel like you’re in a trance-like state, have a few more.”
Luo Xiaobai asked in confusion, “What are they?”
“The leaves of the Purple Vine Thyme. They can keep your head clear.”
Zhang Xuanyu shook his head and quickly put two leaves into his mouth. He gasped and said, “So, that was why I was distracted just now. I almost yawned.”
Le Renkuang didn’t feel anything as he had been anxious the whole time, but he put the “peppermint” into his mouth too.
With a leaf in her mouth, Luo Xiaobai looked at Han Fei. “Did you say that the pupas could bewilder others?”
Zhang Xuanyu asked in surprise, “Then what do we do? More and more broken pupas are showing up. If they all jump to us, won’t we all be enchanted?”
Le Renkuang swallowed and said, “Will we be hung from the top of the cavern too?”
Hula!
Han Fei unfolded the Phantom Gla.s.s Wings and flapped them, raising a strong wind that intended to blow the purple flames away.
Seeing that the purple flames were knocked further and further into the cavern, everybody was relieved.
Le Renkuang was relaxed. “So, they can be blown away. Then let’s just clear a way out.”
Han Fei said, “Isn’t there a simpler solution?”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Yes.”
Zhang Xuanyu asked eagerly, “What is it?”
Han Fei looked at Le Renkuang maliciously. “We’ll let Le Renkuang swallow the purple flames and the pupas.”
“Hiss! I won’t do that! There’s no way I will do that…”
Le Renkuang had gooseb.u.mps. Are you kidding? You want me to swallow such disgusting things?
Han Fei chuckled. “Why are you panicking? Blowing them away won’t solve the problem. However, if you swallow them, the purple flames will lose connection to this cavern and disperse immediately. What are you afraid of?”
Le Renkuang kept his mouth shut. “I won’t eat these. I’m a picky man when it comes to food.”
Han Fei didn’t say anything else. He said casually, “Keep moving. Right, do tell me if you hear a woman singing.”
Luo Xiaobai suddenly looked at Han Fei. “Did you hear something?”
Han Fei made up an excuse, “There was a voice that tried to enchant me, but I took action in time.”
Everybody else was alarmed. It was quite a terrifying technique that targeted Han Fei alone.
Luo Xiaobai instructed, “Okay, Le Renkuang, don’t forget to use the Sky Swallowing Technique.”
Le Renkuang became pale. He did love eating, but he wasn’t crazy about worms! He shook his head so fast that his fat s.h.i.+vered on his face.
Han Fei and the others ignored Le Renkuang and continued walking forward. Han Fei flapped his wings every once in a while.
Even though the Phantom Gla.s.s Wings couldn’t raise a strong gale, they could push out some wind.
Very soon, after they walked only a thousand meters, there were more and more purple flames and pupas that had been blown to the back of the cavern. Countless pupas cracked, filling the cavern with purple flames.
“Ah… Da…”
Zhang Xuanyu suddenly said, “I heard a voice.”
Luo Xiaobai instantly bound even more vines to them.
Hula!
A strong wind rose, and the purple flames moved dozens of meters back. Then, they dashed back again like smoke that couldn’t be cleared.
Han Fei’s expression slightly changed. “Le Renkuang, now is the time. Swallow them!”
“I don’t… I…”
While Le Renkuang was shouting, he had been pulled ahead by the vines. He exclaimed, “Nooooooo… I don’t eat worms… I… Sky Swallowing Technique…”
Hum!
A huge black hole appeared, and countless purple flames and enchanting pupas were absorbed into the black hole that Le Renkuang established.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk! What a powerful exhaust hood!”
Everyone: “???”
“Da la la…”
The voice grew louder and louder, as if it were trying to bewilder Le Renkuang. Han Fei shouted, “Zhang Xuanyu, launch soul attacks towards the purple flames!”
Zhang Xuanyu grinned. “Soul Explosion!”
Hum, hum, hum…
The cavern was s.h.i.+vering, and the purple flames were rampant.
“Pu!”
Zhang Xuanyu’s nose was bleeding, but Le Renkuang’s Sky Swallowing Technique was even crazier than before. He swallowed the purple flames crazily.
“Ahhhhh!”
An ear splitting shriek burst out, and Han Fei pressed the Golden Seal through the void into the purple flames.
“Hoooooo!”
A dragon roar sounded. It was Han Fei’s only means of attack to devastate the soul. Although he wasn’t fluent with it, he could still block the enemy’s attack with it.
Luo Xiaobai and Zhang Xuanyu quickly put a few peppermints into their mouths. Even Han Fei almost lost control of his mind too.
As for Le Renkuang, he had a soul barrier outside of his body. That was Zhang Xuanyu’s method. He had deployed his soul power to protect Le Renkuang.
The purple flames didn’t disappear until fifty seconds later.
“Ew!”
Le Renkuang wretched quickly after he stopped the Sky Swallowing Technique. He said, “I would’ve died of disgust if I had really swallowed them into my stomach…”
Han Fei spat out the peppermints in his mouth and took out another handful. “Let’s each get a handful. We might have to eat them later.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “The most dangerous thing is not the pupas or the purple flames, but the voice. Someone is deep inside the cavern.”
Han Fei nodded. “Let’s go deeper and find out.”
They moved another five thousand meters, and Le Renkuang swallowed again. Then, the singer seemed to realize the purple flames were no longer useful and stopped unleas.h.i.+ng them.
Luo Xiaobai grew weary. “The cavern is getting emptier and emptier. Let’s be careful.”
A moment later, Zhang Xuanyu asked in confusion, “Have we entered a gravity zone?”
Han Fei vaguely sensed that something wasn’t right. He could feel that his body was heavier and heavier, but this place was definitely not a gravity zone. He felt like some invisible power was tearing him apart.
“Fuse.”
Han Fei suddenly said this, raising the attention of his teammates.
Han Fei’s face suddenly turned cold. With the black-and-white eyes, Han Fei saw that countless invisible threads were attached to himself and Luo Xiaobai.
“d.a.m.n it, I knew that something was wrong.”
SWIs.h.!.+
The Infinity Water was turned into invisible water blades that waved crazily around everybody.
When other people saw that, they instantly realized that there was something in the air that Han Fei had to cut apart.
However, to their surprise, Han Fei seemed to carry a weird power when he put on the Yin-Yang Divine Eyes. The auras that the Infinity Water unleashed seemed to be black and white too.
After the slas.h.i.+ng of the Infinity Water, everybody felt a lot less pressure.
Han Fei said indifferently, “Let’s keep going.”
After another eight hundred meters, Han Fei and the others found themselves in a s.p.a.ce that had a radius of five hundred meters. Above them was a cylindrical hollow a thousand meters high.
On the walls around, enchanting pupas were everywhere. Le Renkuang gasped hard, wondering how long it would take for him to swallow them.
At the center of the s.p.a.ce, the most eye-catching thing was an enormous clam sh.e.l.l that was almost a hundred meters long. The clam sh.e.l.l was opened, and a gentle woman in revealing clothes was staring at Han Fei and the others with a smile.
There were all kinds of pearls inside the clam sh.e.l.l, including high-quality pearls, ultra-quality pearls, black pearls and colorful pearls.
Someone was standing before the sh.e.l.l. It was none other than Jiang Tong.
However, Jiang Tong was dazed at this moment as if he didn’t know Han Fei at all.
Observing through the Yin Yang Divine Eyes, Han Fei saw that Jiang Tong was tied up with the narrow invisible lines.
“Clam Girls?”
Luo Xiaobai frowned. “There are rumors about the Clam Girls, but not many. They’re said to be a gentle intelligent species in the sea. Why does this one…”
Han Fei said casually, “This one is evil. Jiang Tong is controlled by her. But that’s not important. Zhang Xuanyu, you’ll deal with him. Don’t forget to put a leaf in your mouth. Don’t be bewildered by the pearl in his hand…”
Zhang Xuanyu licked his lips and said, “Alright!”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Le Renkuang, you’ll take care of the pupas.”
Le Renkuang said grimly, “O-Okay!”
The woman in the clam sh.e.l.l said, “You have to blame yourselves for noticing his anomaly, or I wouldn’t have tried to deal with you.”
Han Fei sneered. “Is that why you let him lure us to this place?”
Han Fei stepped forward, and Luo Xiaobai frowned and circled Han Fei with her vines. At the same time, all kinds of veins were growing in the cavern.
Bluish flowers emerged among the vine leaves and waited to blossom.
Han Fei put on the Feather Suit of Wind and walked to the Clam Girl, while he secretly unleashed the Void Lines.
