Chapter 239: Origin of the Chaotic Fog (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Yan wasn’t stupid enough to look around.
That voice was transmitted through the ripples of water. It sounded in his ears through the vibrations of his body.
Come, come where?
Who asked him to come?
Why did they let him come?
Lin Yan’s gaze was deep as he stared in the direction of the ripples. If he wasn’t wrong, this commotion was transmitted by the guardian behind the underground ecology.
Although he had always believed that there was such an existence, when they really came knocking on his door, he could not help but feel a little nervous.
Who was that?
Or was it a human?
Had they been monitoring the entire underground plain?
Why didn’t they appear when he excavated nearly a thousand Black Grade Unusual Items previously? Instead, they suddenly revealed their existence at this moment?
Lin Yan vaguely felt that this might be related to him killing a large number of Poison-Toothed Trouts.
Perhaps this mysterious person wanted to maintain the ecological balance of the underground world. If Lin Yan continued to kill, the ecological balance of the entire underground world would be destroyed. That was why he had no choice but to appear.
So, should he go or not?
Lin Yan thought for a moment, and a trace of determination flashed across his eyes. He quickly swam in the direction of the ripples.
The Chaotic Fog was approaching, so he did not have much time to investigate carefully.
The most important thing now was to find a way out of the fog!
And the person who understood this underground world the most was the keeper behind it… No…
If he found them, he would naturally be able to find a possible way out…
Lin Yan swam quickly in the direction of the ripples. The movement of the ripples had been maintained, so the Poison-Toothed Trouts in the water was disturbed and didn’t swarm towards Lin Yan.
Soon, he arrived at the source of the ripple.
It was… a jade pillar!
This jade pillar was no different from the other jade pillars. However, it was vibrating slightly, sending out fine ripples.
However, this ripple immediately stopped when Lin Yan discovered the jade pillar.
It was obvious that the person behind it had deliberately attracted Lin Yan.
Lin Yan’s gaze swept across and quickly stopped at a pitch-black underground cave not far from the jade pillar.
“As expected, there’s one here too…”
Just as he was about to take a look, he suddenly frowned. There was something wrong with the surrounding lake water…
Without the transmission of the ripples, all the Poison-Toothed Trouts became active again. Lin Yan originally thought that a large group of Poison-Toothed Trouts would surge towards him.
However, there were very few Poison-Toothed Trouts that pounced on him this time.
However, the entire lake seemed to be boiling as countless snow-white bubbles suddenly appeared!
“Those are… Corpse Buddha Cockroach!”
Lin Yan’s eyes widened slightly. At some point in time, a large group of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches had converged into a shuttle form and entered the water. With the few flesh tentacles behind them, they silently approached the jade pillar!
The reason why the Poison-Toothed Trout didn’t attack him in large numbers was because they had all run to attack the Corpse Buddha Cockroach!
Moreover, in more than one place, Corpse Buddha Cockroaches silently appeared beside the three to four jade pillars that Lin Yan could see. Furthermore, they were all fighting the Poison-Toothed Trout.
The group of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches seemed to not care about their lives as they surged crazily towards the jade pillars!
Furthermore, other than the large Corpse Buddha Cockroach, there were also many different types of Corpse Buddha Cockroaches in different forms. It was as if all the Corpse Buddha Cockroach groups had been mobilized.
Lin Yan’s expression was solemn. “The situation is chaotic. After exploring this cave, I have to lie low…”
After dealing with the Poison-Toothed Trout beside him, Lin Yan hurriedly took out a few stones and arranged for a clone to stand on each of them. He threw them into the underground cave.
It took the same eight seconds to reach the bottom. It was also bigger first and narrower later.
However, the narrow area below this cave was only about ten meters. It became very spacious below.
Lin Yan didn’t look too happy. “It’s obvious that the person who sent out the ripples in the water knows what 1 want to do, so he specially chose a cave for me that suits my taste…
“Or could it be that they set up a tempting trap for me to jump into?”
However, Lin Yan probably had no choice but to jump in…
Be it a trap or a way out, Lin Yan still wanted to test Liu Lanqing before going down to see if he could obtain any information about the Chaotic Fog.
After recording the location of the jade pillar and the underground cave, Lin Yan immediately found a route to avoid the jade pillars. He fought his way out of the chaotic Corpse Buddha Cockroaches and Poison Teeth Trout and swam straight to the shore.
When he reached the shore, Lin Yan felt his body become heavy. He was even a little unaccustomed to the feeling of breathing air.
After a long while, Lin Yan sensed the location of Liu Lanqing and the others and immediately rushed there.
Along the way, Lin Yan was surprised to discover that he did not encounter any Corpse Buddha Cockroach.
“Could it be that all the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches have gone into the water?”
This was not impossible because Lin Yan, who had come ashore, could tell that surging waves were rolling in the lake. The entire lake was filled with snow-white bubbles that were no longer calm.
As he ran, Lin Yan quickly arrived at the place where he sensed a large group of people gathered.
Half of this group of people was in a huge forest on the left. Liu Lanqing was in the other half. At this moment, she was surrounded by a group of people.
Most of these people were from the few prefecture capital factions that he had tracked down and interrogated when he was searching for the Mixed Water Technique..
