Chapter 420: Gravity Change and Red-Scaled Fish (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At first, there was a dull rumbling sound. Then, it became louder and louder, forming the sound of a magnificent waterfall falling.
The huge wave poured out along the entire rock wall with a huge momentum.
Lin Yan could also tell that this water tide was not an entire water bail, but a layer of curved water, and it was at least dozens of meters thick.
According to the original gravitational perspective, this wave was like a living creature that quickly climbed up the rock wall. Even the big fish that was as fast as lightning swam out happily along the water.
It was like a natural disaster, causing the entire rock wall to tremble violently. The debris and gravel attached to it were all washed away by the tide.
It’s no wonder that along the way, the rock walls below are damp. It’s no wonder that there are high platforms at regular intervals in the terrain of the cliff here. It’s so strange. It’s no wonder that the lower you go, the fewer Buddha statues you see. In fact, there aren’t any. They’re very clean…
“All of this is related to this Red Tide. The Red Tide appears periodically, bringing countless fish for the human demons to eat. As for the human demons, they are restrained by their instincts and have been living on the rock wall…”
In an instant, the rock wall under Lin Yan’s feet turned into a red sea. The sea did not stop and surged up the rock wall.
“You previously said that your king and the other general-level human demons are all here?”
The demoness pointed in the direction of the surging water tide, or rather, below the rock wall. “It’s all in the depths. I’ve never been there, so I’m not sure. 1 can’t go to the Red Tide. I can’t go down until it’s over!”
Lin Yan looked down the rock wall. As the Red Tide rolled, it forced open the surrounding chaotic fog, revealing a huge cavity, allowing Lin Yan to see an extremely deep area that was at least thousands of meters deep.
But even so, Lin Yan couldn’t see the bottom of the cliff. He could only see a layer of fiery red light shooting out from the dark and deep bottom of the cliff.
“To be able to continuously bring in big fish, this cliff must be connected to the sea. The cliff is so deep, it really fits the meaning of Earth Abyss Pure Land…”
When Lin Yan was in Ding’an City, he had once found an eye-shaped Spirit Marrow in the underground ruin. When he absorbed it, he had seen an illusion. An old monk carried a stone coffin on his back and walked alone towards a bottomless abyss.
Was that abyss the cliff where he was now?
Along the way, the number of Buddha statues decreased. Naturally, he could not see any clues. If he wanted to investigate, he had to go deep down the cliff. “How long will the Red Tide last?”
However, the demoness didn’t have a concept of time. Lin Yan could only use the time of about half an hour as a benchmark. The demoness estimated that the Demon Tide wouldn’t last long, only a day or two.
“Alright, bring me up first.”
As he followed the demoness up, or rather, flew forward, Lin Yan gradually realized that not all the gravity had rotated 90 degrees.
The closer they were to the rock wall below, the closer the gravitational rotation was to 90 degrees. The further away they were, the smaller the angle of gravity deflection.
Therefore, when the entire tide spread out, it was not a flat surface, but the shape of a mountain peak. The place they were just now was the highest point of the mountain peak, and the platform where the mutated human demon was previously only had a thin layer of water.
Along the way, Lin Yan saw that in the tide, countless human demons were chasing the waves to catch the red fish.
Especially the caves they had dug. Due to the change in gravity, they had become underwater structures similar to fishing baskets.
Because the tide brought red fish, the deeper the water, the more red fish there were, and the richer the resources.
Therefore, to the demon people, the closer they lived to the bottom level, the more fish they could obtain.
The demon crowd with a commander could occupy the most resourceful cave at the bottom. As for the mutated human demon from before, they could barely survive in the shallow water at the top.
Only those general-level human demons chose to enter the lower abyss for unknown reasons because of their awakening or intelligence growth.
Lin Yan also ordered the demoness to catch a big red fish with her eagle feet. After careful inspection, he didn’t find any strange power.
He also used the Savage Flame Knife to kill one. Once the big fish died, the fish skin and scales immediately turned gray and black, no longer red.
He took the fish meat and cooked it with the Sun Burning True Flame. He tasted it and found that it was harmless. It was just ordinary fish meat.
It was as if the fiery red scales and orange-red patterns were only some illusory halos attached to the surface of the big fish without any substance.
Hence, he lost interest in this red fish.
He looked down. Although it seemed to be unobstructed in the depths of the cliff, he remembered the warning he had heard.
Since the demoness said not to go deep into the Red Tide, Lin Yan was naturally not in a hurry to go down.
It was a good time to go to the fortress above and see how Cheng Yu’er was now. Perhaps he could find some records of humans. It was better than fighting to the death with human demons who could not explain themselves clearly.
“demoness, 1’11 give you a mission. You can move around freely next. If you want to eat fish, eat fish.
“But help me pay attention to the commander-level human demons on the entire rock wall and remember their location!”
