God of Fishing

Chapter 682: Primordial Relics

The twenty of them were moving rapidly, when Ning Dong, who was in the lead, waved his sword and cut apart a snowball.

Ning Dong roared, “Something is around us!”

They were only twenty kilometers away from the palace, but a lot of snowy objects were showing up after they moved merely three kilometers.

“Are they snowmen? Or maybe snowfish?”

Han Fei was lost for words. He saw big fish leaping out of the snow, but he still didn’t see any data. Did those creatures take the snow for a sea?

Not just the fish, there were also crabs made of snow and scorpions made of ice. They were all surfacing in swarms.

Su Hongye warned, “Be ready for battle! What are those things?”

Ning Dong said solemnly, “They’re not very strong, but they seem to be undying.”

Chen Chen punched and broke an ice scorpion. “Not very strong? They are as strong as junior Hanging Fishers. If we stay here, we’ll be killed sooner or later.”

Chen Aochen nodded. “Then let’s fight our way through! It’s only twenty kilometers.”

Hardly had Chen Aochen finished when the earth began to shake, and two giants crawled out of the snow on the two sides of the temple.

“Huh!”

Everybody was dumbfounded, as the giants were almost as tall as the temple.

The two gargantuan snowmen crawled out of the snow, each holding two gigantic ice axes in their hands.

Han Fei was lost for words. “Don’t tell me that they’re the janitors.”

Tang Ge shot him a worried look. “I think they’re very strong.”

Su Hongye agreed. “Damn it. I’m having a sense of fear.”

Ning Dong, who was in the lead, suddenly roared, “Look, those little creatures aren’t going to attack us.”

Everybody saw that the fish, crabs, scorpions, lobsters and other creatures that emerged from the snow were taking a detour behind them.

More and more creatures were gathering behind them from all directions, as if they were forcing the human beings to move forward.

No battle was no needed as those snow puppets were only driving Han Fei and the others forward without attacking them. Even an idiot knew that they had to enter the palace.

The captains all gasped. They had thought that they chose a safe path, but they weren’t sure anymore when they saw the super giants that were more than five hundred meters tall.

Half an hour later, when they were only a thousand meters away from the giants, they found a road completely made of ice before their eyes.

The army of snow monsters had stopped several hundred meters behind. It seemed that their only job was to drive the intruders to this place.

Ye Xiangxiang looked at the group. “It seems that we have to keep going.”

Han Fei, however, extended his hand, and an ice spear appeared in his hand. The Water Control Technique seemed quite effective on ice too.

“Hiu!”

The spear was thrown away.

But it was blown into pieces by an air wave that spread from the ice after it flew for only a hundred meters.

“Huh? The two giants didn’t move?”

Everybody looked at Han Fei, and Ning Dong took out a real spear from his weapon box and threw it out too.

This time, one of the snow giants softly waved its ice axe, and a sharp aura hit the spear at an unbelievable speed.

Crack!

The spear, which was an ultra-quality spiritual weapon, was broken apart by the snow giant’s casual attack.

Xu Mo’s eyes widened. “I think we may have chosen the harder path.”

Han Fei said with a vague smile, “Then why don’t you go back?”

Xu Mo glimpsed at Han Fei coldly. “What do you mean?”

Han Fei smiled. “Nothing. But since the entrance is blocked by a killing array and strong poisons, you can’t turn back even if you wanted to.”

Ning Dong, however, suggested, “We can go! The axe is fast, but not unavoidable. Did you notice that the axe showed just enough power to cut apart an ultra-quality spiritual weapon?”

Someone said, “Who’s going to test them out? What if you get cut apart?”

Ye Xiangxiang suggested, “Should I give it a try? I think I can dodge it.”

Meng Guiyi had been considering the options, and Han Fei was staring at him. Now that Ye Xiangxiang had volunteered to go there, he intended to find out if anyone could be sacrificed including those from the Scattered Stars First Unit…

However, Meng Guiyi slightly shook his head. “We must be better prepared even if we’re to run through. Unfortunately, I don’t know any acceleration arrays. Everybody, wait a moment. I’ll learn one now.”

Everybody was lost for words, and Su Hongye simply said, “How long will it take for you to learn one?”

Meng Guiyi shrugged. “It depends. A simple one shouldn’t take very long.”

“Well, about that…”

Su Hongye tilted her head and looked at Han Fei. “This is not a spirit gatherer’s business. We’re working on it.”

Zhao Jiayi patted Han Fei’s shoulder. “It’s impossible for spirit gatherers like us to make it through.”

Lost for words, Han Fei stomped, and a gale rose from his feet.

Meng Guiyi asked in surprise, “Huh? Is this the Wind Travel Array?”

Seeing that everybody was looking at him, Han Fei said, “I don’t know the complicated arrays, but I happen to know a couple of such simple arrays.”

Ye Xiangxiang’s eyes glittered. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner? Give it to me.”

“Wait a moment.”

Han Fei interrupted her again, “There’s something that I don’t know if I should say…”

Xu Mo frowned in dissatisfaction. “Just spit it out.”

Han Fei chuckled. “So you’re insisting that I speak, right?”

Seeing that everybody was looking at him silently, Han Fei shouted in a high voice, “Are you idiots? Is it fun to risk your lives? Why do you have to go through these dangers ahead? Wouldn’t it be better if we let the Half-Mermaids do that for us?”

Su Hongye looked confused. “What do you mean?”

Xu Mo’s eyes lit up. “You want to lure the Half-Mermaids here and let them enter first? Duan Jiang, which side are you on?”

Han Fei rolled his eyes. “Are you really an idiot? These relics of high importance will definitely have other traps guarding them. We can let the Half-Mermaids go first, and the giants will kill half of them. Alternatively, you can lead a batch of people to explore it first and leave half of the crew behind. When the Half-Mermaids attempt to pass this place, the people who are left behind can attack them from their back. What do you think of the plan?”

Xu Mo instantly pulled a long face. “What a shameless method.”

Han Fei sneered. “Then why don’t you go first if you think you are the bigger man? You asked me which side I was on? I think I should be asking you the same question.”

Tang Ge suddenly opened his mouth. “I agree with Duan Jiang. There are no rules in the war against sea demons.”

Gong Yuehan nodded. “It’s fine by me too.”

Zhao Jiayi said helplessly, “This place is so empty. How can we hide?”

Meng Guiyi replied, “There are solutions to that. We can set up Concealment Arrays and Breath Concealing Arrays. I don’t think the enemy will be strong enough to detect us.”

Su Hongye looked at Han Fei in admiration. “It seems that you’re not useless at all. You’re quite smart anyway. I agree with your plan. If they can make it through the journey, then so can we.”

Han Fei smiled and said, “However, it would be best if some of us wait at the finishing line. If the sea demons set up an ambush after they finish the journey, we may suffer a heavy loss.”

Ye Xiangxiang quickly said, “Let me do that. I can pass the test. Trust me.”

Su Hongye agreed, “Count me in too. It shouldn’t be a problem for me either.”

Tang Ge was next. “Count me in.”

Han Fei frowned and asked him telepathically, Why are you going there now? What if the axes are too powerful?

Tang Ge put on a smile. It’s fine. The Dragon Soul Overlord Body from the Dragon Feather Lobster has other effects. The distance is just a thousand meters. I can pass it in half a second.

Han Fei held back a gasp. You really can?

Of course!

Hearing that, Han Fei said to Xu Mo, “Hey, you’re not going? If you’re so self-righteous, you should run over and wait to ambush the Half-Mermaids up ahead.”

Su Hongye looked at Han Fei coldly. “Internal conflicts are not allowed.”

Han Fei grinned. “There are no internal conflicts here. I promise that I won’t argue with him if he can shut his mouth.”

With killing intent beaming out of his body, Xu Mo glared at Han Fei. “Duan Jiang, are you provoking me? Do you know that you’re challenging the authority of a captain?”

Han Fei covered his chest and pretended to be frightened. “Ooo, I’m so scared! You sound almost as if you were my captain… You want to kill me? If I’m dead, Brother Zhao will be the only one who can transmit spiritual energy to you.”

Zhao Jiayi chuckled. “Don’t bring me into this. This is your conflict.”

Wang Qing, who was from his team, licked his lips and said, “Bummer. Why don’t you play rock paper scissors? Whoever wins will stay, and the other person will go over.”

Chen Chen, another teammate, said solemnly, “Do you want to fight before the sea demons arrive? Duan Jiang, why are you provoking him as a spirit gatherer?”

Han Fei snorted and created a Stealth Array. He stomped again, and a Breath Concealing Array appeared.

Around Han Fei, Su Hongye and the others were stunned that Han Fei simply vanished. Even his breath could barely be detected. If he held his breath, he could’ve easily tricked them.

Zhao Jiayi was lost for words. “Brother Duan, I didn’t know that you were an expert in arrays too!”

Meng Guiyi’s pupils slightly constricted. “Brother Duan, you’ve picked up the Stealth Array too?”

Han Fei stood where he was. “What I used were just the simplest arrays that won’t work on those who are far stronger than us, but they will be effective on the Half-Mermaid Heavenly Talents who are at the same level as us. Right, Brother Meng?”

However, Xu Mo scoffed at this moment. “Fine! I’ll go.”

Han Fei felt puzzled instead of happy after hearing that. Did he really agree to go ahead? What does he have to rely on to keep him safe?

Han Fei immediately said to Tang Ge telepathically, Be careful with Xu Mo. Something is off with him.
