Chapter 834 - Old Turtle in the Lake
Chapter 834: Old Turtle in the Lake
“Huala!”
Water splashed on the surface of the lake, but it was nothing compared to what the waterfall raised.
Han Fei saw that a Butterfly Fish was caught by Big Yellow’s tail and delivered to it.
Big Yellow simply sat on the rock lazily. Ignoring the red stings on the surface of the Butterfly Fish’s body, it pierced countless holes in the Butterfly Fish and killed it.
Information popped up in Han Fei’s eyes.
<Name> Red Blood Butterfly Fish
<Introduction> A Butterfly Fish that can be found in lakes near waterfalls. They love swimming against tides and can absorb the power of nature. When caught in danger, they’ll release 36 red stings that will explode in the enemy’s body. Their Butterfly Wings can escape as their clones for them to survive.
<Level> 48
<Quality> Rare
<Spiritual Energy> 2,864 Points
<Effect> It can significantly strengthen health if it’s eaten over a long period of time.
<Collectible> Butterfly Wings
<Absorbable>
<Note> The Butterfly Wing Clones are incapable of fighting at all.
Han Fei was quite intrigued to see the message, wondering if the Butterfly Wings could make humans develop clones?
“Huala!”
Big Yellow ate the fish after it was caught. The cat seemed to be eating all the time. Although the raw fish wasn’t as delicious as the food that Han Fei made, it was acceptable to a cat.
Big Yellow was quite shocked to see Han Fei catch a Red Blood Butterfly Fish too. It gazed at Han Fei cutely.
Big Yellow asked, “You’ve caught one already?”
Han Fei was amused. “What are you talking about? You thought I couldn’t catch any?”
Meow!
Big Yellow shouted, “None of the other people ever caught one. I can only do it with my unusual talent.”
Han Fei thought of something, “None of them have ever caught one?”
Big Yellow replied, “No! The Red Blood Butterfly Fish are very smart. You can’t catch them unless they voluntarily come to you. I caught them with my Cat Aura. What did you use?”
After being stunned for a long time, Han Fei said slowly, “I used Combat Aura.”
Big Yellow tilted its head and looked at Han Fei, wondering what “Combat Aura” was.
Han Fei secretly chuckled. That’s just something I made up. I couldn’t have said that I caught the Red Blood Butterfly Fish’s soul right? Big Yellow would definitely tell everybody else that.
Han Fei cut the Butterfly Wings off and then threw the fish to Big Yellow. “This is for you. I don’t want it.”
Big Yellow caught the Red Blood Butterfly Fish and moved it closer with its paws. “Great! I can never have enough fish. But why do you want the wings? They’re not delicious at all.”
Han Fei chuckled. “The wings are beautiful.”
Big Yellow looked at Han Fei as if he were an idiot. Did beautiful mean delicious? It really couldn’t understand human beings.
Thinking about that, Big Yellow held the two fish with both paws and continued swallowing. It didn’t eat too fast, as it wouldn’t have enough fun if it finished the food too quickly.
Han Fei simply ignored Big Yellow and made an attempt with his spiritual power while holding the Butterfly Wings.
The Butterfly Wings were gone, and Han Fei’s illusion appeared next to him. However, the illusion didn’t look convincing at all.
Big Yellow raised its head again. “It’s fake and will be gone in thirty seconds. I can maintain my illusion for ten seconds.”
After saying that, Big Yellow’s illusion appeared next to himself.
The illusion and Big Yellow meowed at each other for a while. Then, the illusion was gone.
Big Yellow meowed and said, “I wish it could be maintained. That way, I’d have a cat to play with me.”
Han Fei sweated. I was thinking about summoning a clone, yet you were hoping to get a playmate? It’s true that a human and a cat were different. This cat must be too lonely!
Of course, Han Fei had to abandon the idea of creating clones. The Butterfly Wings were absolutely useless. His enemy wouldn’t even have to recognize it.
“Heh! Never mine. I’ll just keep fishing.”
A moment later, Han Fei controlled a new Red Blood Butterfly Fish. This time, he released the Void Lines the moment he acquired the Red Blood Butterfly Fish’s vision.
About half a second after the Void Lines were released, the Red Blood Butterfly Fish seemed to be back to life. Its wings were dropped and turned into two new Red Blood Butterfly Fish.
Han Fei realized that they were much more vivid than the clones that he and Big Yellow made.
When Han Fei continued controlling the Red Blood Butterfly Fish, he discovered that what he controlled became a clone, and the real Red Blood Butterfly Fish had swapped with one of the clones.
Han Fei didn’t chase after it. He confirmed that once he stopped controlling the Void Lines, the target’s consciousness would quickly return, and they would realize the danger and try to flee.
He wasn’t too disappointed. The Divine Manipulation Technique would’ve been invincible if any target that was controlled by the Void Lines would remain as his puppet forever… The ability to own countless clones who had authentic identities was definitely remarkable.
However, one clone was enough.
Han Fei wondered if he could control a human or a Half-Merman with the Void Lines, which would be more significant.
Thinking for a moment, Han Fei decided to try it on a Half-Merman or an Inferior Man-Fish after he became a Hidden Fisher and got the Wind Sky Wings.
…
After Han Fei caught another Red Blood Butterfly Fish, he intended to find out how far away the Void Lines could go, and if he could check the old turtle at the bottom of the lake through the Red Blood Butterfly Fish.
He didn’t think that he would be discovered if he was using the Red Blood Butterfly Fish’s vision. Even if he were, he could always drop the Void Lines.
He put on a smile and controlled the Red Blood Butterfly Fish to go to the bottom of the lake.
However, the lake was deeper than Han Fei had anticipated. He hadn’t reached the bottom after diving for twenty kilometers.
Han Fei found fewer and fewer Red Blood Butterfly Fish in the area. He saw a few sea cucumbers and sea stars on the ball. He even saw a Yellow Blood Sea Cucumber and a Trivariant Golden Ginseng.
Apart from them, there were only Red Blood Butterfly Fish and several kinds of fluorescent lobsters. He didn’t find any powerful creatures.
Han Fei decided to collect the Trivariant Golden Ginseng after the exploration. That was not easy to come by near the sea. He didn’t expect to run into one in the lake beneath the Empyrean Waterfall.
Han Fei dove another twenty kilometers. He discovered, to his surprise, that there were few creatures nearby. If he hadn’t occasionally seen a Red Blood Butterfly Fish swimming up, he wouldn’t have dared going further down.
Fifty kilometers.
Sixty kilometers.
Han Fei didn’t reach the bottom until he dove sixty kilometers.
Han Fei was quite shocked. The lake was deeper than any place that Han Fei had known. Even the Mariana Trench he knew only had a depth of ten thousand meters. This place was significantly deeper.
Then, Han Fei found that the bottom of the lake was connected to undersea currents. He was going to check it out with the fish, when a terrifying absorption force came.
Han Fei was dragged five kilometers away beyond his control. He observed with his mind, only to find that it was an old turtle with ancient rocks all over its body.
The old turtle was extremely huge, and the rocks on its back covered almost a hundred square meters.
Han Fei had only seen the Sky Holding Turtle that was this big.
Unfortunately, Han Fei couldn’t see the detailed information of the old turtle through the eyes of the Red Blood Butterfly Fish, but it was definitely strong.
The old turtle slowly winked its eyes that were bigger than a pot and then spoke in a weary voice, Human kid, are you here to snoop on me?
Han Fei was at a loss. He wondered if he could disconnect the Void Lines and run off immediately.
The old turtle said again, You’re truly capable. You came to this place through the Red Blood Butterfly Fish. Will your soul be damaged if I swallow the Red Blood Butterfly Fish?
Han Fei, sitting down at the Empyrean Waterfall, was stiffened, as the old turtle was truly extraordinary.
Instantly, Han Fei cut off the Void Lines, and the soul that was attached to them instantly returned.
The old turtle said, Don’t run yet, human kid. Come back here. You seem to be special.
Han Fei chuckled. You think I’d believe you? I would never go down there even if you threaten to kill me.
After Han Fei recalled his soul, he saw that Big Yellow was gazing at him. It then looked at the bottom of the lake and asked, “Did you talk to the big turtle?
Then, Big Yellow kept eating the fish unconcernedly. “No big deal. The big turtle can’t move. It can’t eat us.”
Han Fei was greatly relaxed. That explained a lot. It couldn’t move!
However, the big turtle’s voice echoed in Han Fei’s head again, Human kid, there’s a hint of demonic Qi in your body… No, it’s a power that’s more advanced than demonic Qi.
Han Fei’s perception range happened to be exactly as large. He replied, Senior, sorry for disturbing you, but I’m just a normal person.
The big turtle was silent for a moment. Your senses can reach the bottom of the lake? But you’re just a Hanging Fisher.
Han Fei was briefly stunned. Damn it. I’m exposed!
The big turtle, however, wasn’t bothered. Human, can you get me demonic Qi? If you can, I’ll offer you something in return.
