Chapter 743: Successful Sneak-in
Han Fei appeared to be confused after reading the slip on the Transient Golden Spear, but he subconsciously spun the harpoon in his hand.
Then, to the surprise of Yu Ji and the others, a revolving white s.h.i.+eld took shape before Han Fei. The harpoon moved so fast that the s.h.i.+eld looked like a fast-turning wheel with water spluttering out. It was quite beautiful.
Yu Ji asked in shock, “You’re such a fast learner?”
Han Fei already figured out a reply when he turned the harpoon.
Since Yu Ji mentioned that he was an Azure Sea Blue Demon and on the same level as the Half-Mermen, he had to demonstrate an outstanding performance.
He couldn’t find the way back to the Scattered Stars Island anyway, so it was better to let them take him there than to blindly search for the place!
Besides, Yu Ji was not a regular Heavenly Talent. She definitely had a lot of treasures. If he found a chance to kill her, he might be able to make a fortune.
After learning the Transient Golden Spear skill, Han Fei looked at Yu Ji and grimaced, “I… I’ll follow you!”
Yu Ji put on a smile.
However, before she was done smiling, the previous Half-Merman had said, “Yu Ji, we’re on a mission. It wouldn’t be good if we fail to find the Sea Demon Mountain and return with a totally strange Azure Sea Blue Demon, would it?”
Han Fei was quite surprised. Were they here to search for the Sea Demon Mountain?
F*ck. It wasn’t easy to escape from the Sea Demon Mountain, yet you want to take me back there?
Yu Ji asked coldly, “Yu Yue, you think I can’t take an Azure Sea Blue Demon with me?”
The Half-Merman clenched his fists. “Humph!”
Han Fei was stunned. What was that? Doesn’t Yu Yue mean delight? How delighted is he?
Seeing how stunned Han Fei was, Yu Ji realized that he probably didn’t have a name yet, so she asked, “What’s your name?”
Han Fei secretly replied with a cold smile, My name is Han Fei, bite me.
Yu Ji saw Han Fei’s expression as confusion. She put on a smile. “Well, I don’t think you have a name. Since you’re my follower, I’ll give you a name. What about Yu Gan, meaning dried fish?”
Han Fei was so stunned that thousands of Iron-Head Fish seemed to be running in his heart.
Dried fish? Thank you so much! You’re dried fis.h.!.+ Your whole family is dried fish.
Having made enough fun, Yu Ji declared proudly, “Yu Gan, you will follow me in the future. I dare not guarantee that you’ll distinguish yourself, but if you’re more talented than regular Half-Mermen, you may evolve and mutate again and transform into a Half-Merman.”
Han Fei secretly sneered. Another evolution? I can transform again if I want to become a Half-Merman, but you won’t see that. I’ll kill you at the first chance on our way.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
All of a sudden, several more Half-Mermen and Red Demons came out.
Han Fei counted seven Half-Mermen and Half-Mermaids including Yu Ji and the same number of Red Demons.
They all discovered Han Fei too. Someone asked, “Is he… An Azure Sea Blue Demon?”
Yu Ji instantly declared, “He’s a newly awakened Azure Sea Blue Demon. He’s now following me. He isn’t weak and won’t be a liability while we search for the Sea Demon Mountain.”
A Half-Merman frowned. “Where is this Azure Sea Blue Demon from? Are you sure that he has just awakened?”
Yu Ji nodded. “I just taught him the sea demon language. I can’t be wrong.”
Someone nodded casually. “Since you already took him in, we won’t stop you. However, you must keep an eye on the Azure Sea Blue Demon by yourself.”
Someone laughed. “Yu Ji, although the Azure Sea Blue Demons have growing Demon Heritage, have you seen any of them who develop an advanced Demon Heritage?”
Yu Ji scoffed. “I will do this. What can you do?”
She was quite satisfied with Han Fei’s performance. He followed her thirty meters behind her and stayed vigilant of others.
Yu Ji felt lucky that Yu Yue didn’t try to make acquaintance with Han Fei earlier but attempted to invade this Azure Sea Blue Demon’s soul, or she probably wouldn’t have got him.
At this moment, the Half-Mermen and Half-Mermaids were gathered, and so were the Red Demons. Han Fei stayed thirty meters behind Yu Ji.
Someone said, “Yu Ji, won’t your Azure Sea Blue Demon back off? How can he follow us so closely?”
Yu Ji sighed. “We’re discussing telepathically. He can’t hear anything. What are you afraid of? Besides, the search of the Sea Demon Mountain isn’t a secret at all. Just speak out loud.”
The others seemed quite scared of Yu Ji, and Han Fei pretended to be a silly rookie, while he actually eavesdropped on their conversation.
In terms of soul hardness and capacity of spiritual power, Han Fei didn’t think anyone here was as good as himself.
Someone said, “The harvest from the treasure trove isn’t bad, but should we abandon the search for the Sea Demon Mountain? There are countless powerful creatures here. Half of our teammates have already died. If we keep searching, we may all get killed if we run into more powerful creatures.”
Someone frowned. “I agree. It’s been clearly concluded that the Sea Demon Mountain was moved away violently, either by a human being or a powerful creature in the sea. If they can move a mountain, wouldn’t it be easy for them to annihilate us?”
Someone objected to him, “You can’t be too pessimistic. It’s possible that this is an opportunity for us! That expert must’ve had a purpose to move the Sea Demon Mountain away? What if they have already left? It’s possible that we may get unexpected treasures from the Sea Demon Mountain.”
Someone shook his head. “Why do you think the expert would leave any treasures for you? Besides, didn’t you hear that all the creatures that used to be in the Sea Demon Mountain are dead. That part of the sea is haunted by the air of the dead.”
Yu Ji thought for a moment and said, “It definitely has to do with the weird sounds. The capital has already confirmed that it wasn’t done by human beings. The Sea Demon Mountain must be still in the sea. If we find it, we may get in touch with the super expert outside of the capital. Then, the experts from the capital will deal with them.”
A sea demon said impatiently, “Capital, capital, capital all the time… We don’t even know where the capital is! The sea demons in the front line think that the Ten Thousand Demon Valley is the capital and long to go there. What will they think if they learn that the capital lies on lands distant and unknown?”
Han Fei had great fun listening to them. It seemed that the sea demons did have a capital city, and that the Sea Demon Mountain used to be a front line for the sea demons. As to where the Ten Thousand Demon Valley they mentioned was, Han Fei didn’t know.
Eventually, their conclusion was that they would search for another seven days. If they still couldn’t find it, they would just go home.
Han Fei was lost for words. Those people were truly bold. If Chun Huangdian were still here, they would all be killed.
Han Fei didn’t know what to do. The Sea Demon Mountain was already a complete mess. When he fought his way out, the whole mountain was riddled with holes. The sea creatures were fighting for not just the spiritual stones but also the demonic stones.
It was not hard to imagine that many of those creatures went on a killing spree. It wasn’t easy for them to stop killing. Han Fei believed that they must be still fighting at this moment.
A moment later, all of them set off again. As it happened, they were moving in the direction where Han Fei came from.
Han Fei didn’t look too good. He wondered if he should find a chance to slip off. He thought he could find a way home by following Yu Ji. Little did he expect that they would risk their lives moving to the Sea Demon Mountain.
Why did he run out? Precisely because the Sea Demon Mountain was still dangerous.
Yu Ji looked at Han Fei and frowned. “Huh, Yu Gan, you seem to be scared of this direction, aren’t you?”
With everything coming to this point, Han Fei couldn’t say anything else except, “Many… Powerful… Creatures went that way.”
The Half-Mermen were stunned to hear that. “You came from this direction?”
A Half-Merman stared at Han Fei. “Did you see a very huge mountain that’s more than eight hundred kilometers long?”
Han Fei shook his head. “No, I didn’t dare to get close.”
One of the Half-Mermen sniffed. “He’s really a coward. He’s still worthless even if he has been awakened as an Azure Sea Blue Demon.”
Yu Ji snorted. “You’re talking as if you were better than him when you had just awakened…”
Someone said, “Stop bickering. If a lot of powerful creatures went that way, something must’ve happened there. We’ll be able to find something if we hurry up… Even if it’s not the Sea Demon Mountain, it should be something valuable, like a treasure trove or an Undersea Chimney…”
The sea demons moved much faster than Han Fei when he was alone. In only one day, they had killed five exotic creatures, three of which were above level-50.
Han Fei also discovered that apart from Yu Ji, two of those sea demons had Semi-Divine Weapons.
Some hadn’t revealed their strength yet, and Han Fei couldn’t tell.
On the third day, everybody was moving fast, because they detected that a lot of creatures were gathered in the area ahead.
At this moment, the seawater began to hum.
Everybody spread out their senses, only to find that a large stream of orange water was flowing at them.
In front of the orange water, a tremendous number of creatures were rus.h.i.+ng towards Han Fei and the others as if they were crazy.
Yu Ji and her partners were all shocked.
Yu Ji exclaimed with a different expression, “Oh no! It’s the Bloodthirsty Sesame Shrimps! Run!”
