After the disappearance of the dozens of Ghost Dragons, the originally tumultuous well water grew calm again.
Strange, could I have been hallucinating?
The Sect Master of the Great Sun Heaven, an old man in a yellow robe, slapped his forehead. Staring wide-eyed, he carefully scanned the well water, a dazed expression on his face.
The ghostly Jiao Dragons were previously charging madly like arrows, seemingly about to burst out of the water, but they suddenly disappeared. It was just like a mirage, nothing but an illusion.
He didnât feel any Mana fluctuations, as if he had experienced a traceless spring dream. When he woke up, he was only left with bewilderment and disarray.
"Huh? I also saw the Jiao Dragons just now. Why have they suddenly disappeared?" an old man in grey robes from Jiuyou Tian shouted.
"Could we all have been seeing things?" the black-robed old man from Shenluo Tian frowned, expressing his doubts.
"You all must have been mistaken; there are no Jiao Dragons..." Ye Yun said casually.
Upon hearing this from Ye Yun, which seemed a bit mocking, the faces of the Three Supreme Heavensâ Sect Masters turned a little ugly. However, they deeply dreaded Ye Yun and his group and dared not act rashly. The three Sect Masters had to temporarily suppress the doubts in their hearts. After taking a deep breath, they resumed fishing.
They should not be illusions...
Nan Shaohua of Blood Spirit Tian speculated, a contemplative look in his eyes.
Regarding the mysterious disappearance of the Jiao Dragons, Nan Shaohua could only conclude that only an elder of the Eternal Realm possessed such unpredictable Divine Skills and methods.
"Brother, there really are no Jiao Dragons. I think those people were just seeing things that werenât there!" Looking at the calm surface of the water, Little Seven stuck out her tongue, made a goofy face, and giggled.
"Yes! Indeed there are no Jiao Dragons..." Ye Yun patted Little Sevenâs head, an elusive glint in his eyes, and smiled.
His words were, of course, full of implication.
The Bone Dragon formed from the corpses of ancient giant demons at the bottom of the well was about to emerge. It had just turned over, signifying that the Bone Dragon already had signs of life. He believed that before long, the Bone Dragon would emerge from the water.
Then, things would get interesting.
"You guys, seize the time to fish for treasure. Use any means necessary," Ye Yun turned his head, looked at the group of demon beasts beside him, and said with a faint smile. His voice was also confined to a certain area, so others were naturally unable to hear him.
Could they freely use Divine Skills to fish for treasures? Master is really generous.
Several demon beasts were immediately excited upon hearing this.
The Immortal Divine Silkworm laughed, "Master, then I wonât be polite!"
"And me!" the Ruyi Jade Spider also shouted.
"We canât be left behind either, even though we canât compare to the two seniors...!" the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon shouted. Vigorously swinging its tail, it also started to use Divine Skills.
In an instant, several demon beasts showed their abilities like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, continuously fishing treasures from the water.
SPLASH! SPLASH! The sound of water was constant, with silver lines dancing.
"Haha, I caught a Heavenly Upper-class Sword!"
"Ha, I caught an Emperor Level Lower Grade Vine Staff!"
"I caught a wine jar!"
"Hehe, I caught an Emperor Level Middle Grade Divine Sword!"
"..."
All the demon beasts, excluding Big Black Cat and Cat Baby, incessantly reaped rewards. The speed of the haul was unimaginable. For demon beasts like the Ruyi Jade Spider, Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, and Immortal Divine Silkworm, it was even quicker. Barely a few breaths after they caught one treasure, another was hooked.
Seeing the demon beasts reaping rewards and treasures emerging in an endless stream, the disciples of the Four Supreme Heavensâeven those from Blood Spirit Tianâwere filled with envy and resentment.
"Thatâs so unfair! Why did they fish out all the treasures?"
"Exactly! We havenât gained anything. It seems like theyâve fished away all the opportunities!"
"Ah, so frustrating!"
Everyone started whispering among themselves.
"Those demon beasts seemed to cheat, donât you think?" a disciple from Great Sun Heaven frowned and complained.
Another person wondered, "Can they even cheat? This is the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse; no one has ever been able to cheat here!"
"Who knows, but how would all the treasures get caught by these demon beasts otherwise?!" that disciple said angrily. As he spoke, blood veins showed in his eyes, clearly showing how jealous he was of the demon beasts frantically acquiring treasures.
The Sect Masters of the Three Supreme Heavens now had gloomy faces. The demon beasts were rapidly acquiring treasures everywhere, catching them off guard. However, they only caught some common treasures; the most powerful Town Dragon Tablet had not yet appeared. This had them on edge, fearing the moment when all hopes might be shattered.
On Blood Spirit Tianâs side, a female disciple sitting next to Nan Shaohua pouted and asked softly, "Master, why are all the treasures getting fished away by them?"
"The treasures in the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse are obtained by oneâs own luck and opportunity. If the seniors have fished out the treasures, itâs their opportunity. We must not belittle ourselves!" Nan Shaohua responded calmly, eyes lowered.
"I understand, Master," the female disciple said with a solemn expression, quickly nodding.
The sound of splashing water continued non-stop, and plenty of treasures were being fished out.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Four Supreme Heavens, even the five kittens of different colors, squatting side by side at the wellâs edge, managed to fish out treasures with their tails. Of course, only the red, green, and blue kittens caught treasures. As for Little Black Cat and Little White Cat, they didnât have any success.
"Cat Brother, you need to work harder..." the Sky-boring Rat squeezed onto the edge of the well, rubbed its hands, and shouted excitedly.
Already frustrated at not being able to catch any treasures, Big Black Catâs anger flared up at the sight of the sly, tail-less Sky-boring Rat. "Coward, are you deliberately making fun of this Old Cat?" Big Black Cat gritted his teeth.
"Cat Brother, I sincerely want to cheer for you! I hope you can quickly fish out a treasure..." the Sky-boring Rat spread its hands out and said with a wronged expression.
"I think you have no good intentions! Get lost and stay to one side!" Big Black Cat fumed.
"Then I will go to Cat Baby and cheer it on!" The Sky-boring Rat gave a start and suddenly leaped to Cat Babyâs side.
"Cat Baby, you need to work hard too! I hope you can outdo Cat Brother and catch a treasure first!" the Sky-boring Rat said with a playful smile.
Cat Baby glared at it. "If youâve nothing good to say, then donât speak. No one is treating you as a mute!"
The Sky-boring Rat, rejected yet again, suddenly felt all interest drain away and became dejected.
"Coward!" Big Black Cat chuckled. "Cat Baby and I are on the same team; weâre both from the cat tribe! You, a Sky-boring Rat, coming to âpay respectsâ to cats? Itâs obvious you have ill intentions. Cat Baby is smart enough to see right through you!"
"I truly didnât mean that..." the Sky-boring Rat held out its hands helplessly and said.
"Haha!" Amused by the bickering of the two cats and the rat, the demon beasts who were currently fishing couldnât help but laugh out loud.
The Ruyi Jade Spider, finding the pitiful little rat unbearable to watch, quickly sent it off, saying, "Sky-boring Rat, youâre already injured. Stop running around and go back to the carriage to rest..."
Being obedient, the Sky-boring Rat immediately fled to the carriage.
SPLASH... SPLASH... One after another, treasures kept surfacing, fished out by the demon beasts.
Some of these treasures shone with a radiant glow and carried an extraordinary aura, turning the eyes of the surrounding people red with envy.
