Chapter 256 - Creating Fear
Almost in the blink of an eye, the water around Han Fei became very muddy, and there were Dark Water Rat meat chunks everywhere.
Han Fei discovered that although the Dark Water Rats were fast and had a horrible bite force, their defense was not even as good as a level-20 rare fish.
“Do you want to win against me by sheer force of numbers?”.
Han Fei was almost covered with the rats. However, so far, none could bite through his skin, although it hurt a little bit.
BAM!
A burst of spiritual energy suddenly broke from within his body, and dozens of water rats were shattered in an instant.
Now Han Fei knew where the blood water came from. It turned out that there were a lot of water rats in almost every cave…
Was it dangerous? Of course. If it were someone else, even if he had a strong attack power, he would have been seriously injured by these rats.
When thousands of water rats were crushed, these nasty animals hurriedly retreated. They seemed to find that Han Fei was not so easy to deal with.
Han Fei bit the bullet and walked forward, and in the bloody seawater, Han Fei felt that something was watching him.
He immediately activated his spiritual perception and scanned his surroundings inch by inch. There must be something here. He just couldn’t find it.
After he swam through the bloody seawater, he found that this cave was quite deep, with black stone walls on both sides. Touching the stone wall, he swam cautiously, replacing the Snow Silver Rod in his hand with the Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers.
Suddenly.
Han Fei shot out a dagger, which went deep into the wall beside him. A human face suddenly appeared on the stone wall, and at the moment Han Fei stabbed it, it disappeared into the stone.
“F*ck…”
Han Fei didn’t know what to say. That was not human at all. It could even escape his spiritual perception!
Fortunately, he had the Demon Purification Pot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to discover this damn thing.
“Devil Fish?”
Just now, a string of information flashed in front of his eyes.
<Name> Mutant Devil Fish
<Introduction> Mysterious, loves darkness, has weak attack power, but is extremely good at disguising itself. It can change faces and create fear.
<Level> 30
<Quality> Mysterious
<Contained Spiritual Energy> 1,672 Points
<Effect> Inedible
<Collectible> None
<Absorbable>
Han Fei swallowed. When he first saw the message, he was a little stunned. This was the third time he had seen a mysterious creature. A fish without attack power had strange abilities and could even create fear.
Now Han Fei understood why he, a daredevil, would be scared by this fish.
“Shit, next time I see you, you’ll be dead meat.”
Han Fei was now extremely suspicious if there was any treasure in this place! How could there be any treasure in such a creepy place?!
“Huh?”
Han Fei blinked. He saw a person running at him head-on. That was really strange. In this huge place extending a thousand miles, two people met in such a dark cave. Wasn’t it strange?
“Hey! Brother, what are you running for?”
Han Fei waved at him. However, the person did not respond but pounced at him and hacked at him with the double axes in his hand.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Han Fei’s face changed slightly. “Hey! Who the hell are you?”
However, what responded to Han Fei was a heavy hack, and a shadow of a large lobster pincer was also seen on the axe.
Boom…
Waves exploded forth immediately. Han Fei frowned. This man was an advanced great fishing master, but he exerted a force stronger than that of an advanced great fishing master. His attack just now reminded Han Fei of Zhang Xuanyu’s Seven-Layered Waves in Furious Sea.
Because the two were very close, Han Fei found that the man’s eyes were all red, and he seemed to have lost his mind.
“Humph!
“Nine-Star Chain…”
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The nine chains were instantly nailed to the rock walls on both sides, directly binding the mad boy. But Han Fei didn’t expect that this man was so crazy that he gathered all the spiritual energy in his body… Did he want to blow himself up?
BAM!
Han Fei poked his rod on this man’s belly to shatter his gathered spiritual energy and then hit his back to knock him to the ground.
“Huh?”
Han Fei retracted the chain. He saw a palm-sized starfish behind the boy’s neck.
<Name> Psychedelic Starfish
<Introduction> A parasitic starfish, likes to attach to fish. It can easily control the host’s thinking and make it manic.
<Level> 25
<Quality> Rare
<Contained Spiritual Energy> 545 Points
<Effect> Inedible
<Collectible> None
<Absorbable>
Han Fei pinched this Psychedelic Starfish and found that this thing had been embedded in the boy’s skin. Han Fei took out a knife and drew a circle behind the boy’s neck. His skin immediately covered with a layer of frost, and his neck became stiff.
“Get off.”
Han Fei dragged the starfish off the boy’s neck. However, the starfish was motionless and seemed frozen.
At his feet, the boy seemed to wake up, his neck still stiff. When he woke up, the first thing he did was take a fish-skin sac from his waist and he took a breath into it. And then, he sank down to the ground covering his neck with a hand.
Han Fei asked, “You awake?” The boy immediately jumped up. Perhaps he was too excited or hit too hard by Han Fei, blood oozed from his eyes, nose, and mouth.
“Who are you?”
Han Fei waved the starfish in his hand and said, “This thing was controlling you. I saved you. How are you going to repay me?”
The boy: “???”
He seemed to be recalling what happened. After a moment, his face turned stiff, and there also seemed to be a trace of panic on his face.
“Don’t be silent! If it weren’t for me, you would have been dead. So, give me your Fiery Mountain Token!”
The boy looked at the masked Han Fei and asked seriously, “Who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am.”
The boy: “???”
The boy still covered his neck with his hand. “Anyway, you saved me. My life is yours. Here you are…”
The boy took out a Fiery Mountain Token but Han Fei asked, “Just one?”
The boy was stunned. “There’s only one Fiery Mountain Token for everyone, isn’t there?”
Han Fei doubted him. “You have no companions dead? Don’t pretend. I have buried one just now. The guy’s Fiery Mountain Token was already taken away.”
“Huh?”
The boy shook his head. “I don’t know. I did come with another girl, but I think she is still alive. We encountered a ghost-faced fish. I got caught and she ran away.” “A girl?”
Han Fei frowned. Was there another group of people here?
Han Fei put away the Fiery Mountain Token and waved. “Get out! The Dark Water Rats in the caves have been cleared out by me…”
The boy bowed to him and said, “I’m Gu Tao of the Third Academy. Thank you for saving me.”
Han Fei waved his hand without looking back. Gu Tao couldn’t fight the strange creatures here, but he was not afraid. Now that he had discovered that Devil Fish that teased him, he certainly wouldn’t let it go.
Of course, apart from this reason, there were at least two or even three Fiery Mountain Tokens here. How could he just let them fly away from his hands?
As he swam deeper in, the internal structure of the cave was more and more complex. Before, there was still a path to follow, but now caves were everywhere. Han Fei really admired that this other student didn’t get lost.
“Little White, can you feel any people nearby? Take me to find them.”
