Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 250: Chapter 248: The Terrifying Lake Bottom

Fifty-five seconds, short to say, yet long as well.

For ordinary people, fifty-five seconds might pass in the blink of an eye, but for the prodigies here, fifty-five seconds were enough to accomplish a lot.

“Bang! Bang!”

The dull thuds kept sounding as the giant tail occasionally swept towards the light barrier, seemingly intending to kill everyone who entered.

The light barrier shook violently, with ripples appearing and even large cracks emerging.

However, these cracks were instantly repaired by the guardians at the Dragon God Realm, who were throwing pills into their mouths as if money didn’t matter, because at this moment, they had all unleashed their strongest Cultivation Bases, the consumption of their Spiritual Power was tremendous, and since there was no nature’s spiritual energy here, they could only replenish it with pills.

They did not hold back, since among these prodigies were those they needed to protect.

And with only a minute to spare, it didn’t matter if they used up all their pills, as there were plenty of them once they got out.

“Go search!” a guardian commanded.

Without needing to be told, Ye Longhe and the other hundreds of prodigies had already dashed off in all directions.

The place where they were now was not the bottom of the lake, there was still some distance to the actual bottom, but the water of this lake was strange, neither the naked eye nor the Divine Sense could see the lakebed.

Helpless, the crowd then rushed towards the lakebed, as a giant beast guarded their way, their only option was to search here.

The lakebed was uneven, with some areas having giant pits about ten meters deep. When the prodigies saw this, they frowned, but in the next instant, their expressions changed drastically.

Because they finally realized what these deep pits were, they were giant footprints!

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

Suddenly, beams of golden light shot out from the lakebed like swords, directly stabbing at these prodigies.

“Not good!”

“Dodge quickly!”

The faces of many prodigies changed, and they hurriedly scurried to the sides.

But the speed of these beams of light was too fast, and there were still people who didn’t manage to dodge in time and were penetrated through their bodies.

The golden beams were very small, about the thickness of a finger.

If it were just one beam of light passing through, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but these beams were too dense, covering the sky and ensuring that anyone hit would likely be struck by dozens or even hundreds of other beams.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft!”

In that instant, more than ten people were pierced by the golden light, their eyes widened and their faces filled with unwillingness as they slowly drifted towards the lakebed.

They were dead.

They were not at the Dragon God Realm, had no Primordial Spirits, and certainly no second lives.

The golden light had penetrated the crucial parts of their bodies, some even pierced through the forehead, dying horrifically right there at the bottom of the lake.

“These are all fish!”

Ye Longhe’s arm also had several holes, but fortunately, it was just the arm and it wasn’t a big deal.

His face darkened. He hadn’t expected there to be so many goldfish here. These goldfish seemed to have low Attack Power, but they ignored their defenses, even penetrating items of the Purple Gold Level!

“We can’t give up, so many people have died, they paved the way for us!”

Gui Qingtian shouted, “These goldfish feed on corpses, with these people’s bodies here, they won’t attack us anymore. Let’s use this time to search!”

He was right, once the goldfish killed a person, they quickly rushed to the corpses.

And they, in turn, used this opportunity to free up some time.

Time gradually passed, and before they knew it, ten seconds had gone by.

These ten seconds felt incredibly fast to them, considering they originally only had fifty-five seconds, and nearly a fifth of that time had already expired.

Only forty-five seconds were left, finding the Dragon Blood was extremely difficult.

“The Dragon Blood, if nothing goes wrong, must be behind the Gigantic Beast.”

Ye Longhe looked at Gui Qingtian and said, “This Gigantic Beast is obviously guarding the Dragon Blood. Searching so far away from the beast is completely futile.”

Gui Qingtian nodded, was about to speak, but the corner of his eye twitched, and suddenly, he noticed someone nearby had disappeared!

“Hmm?”

Gui Qingtian couldn’t help but turn his head, only to see that where the person had disappeared, no cave had emerged.

“How did he disappear?” Gui Qingtian frowned.

Ye Longhe also witnessed this scene, as did many others. They quickly rushed to the spot where the man had vanished, but after a few seconds, they couldn’t find anything unusual.

“Another person has disappeared!” Ye Longhe suddenly said.

Sure enough, just as his words fell, a white light quickly vanished.

“It’s that white light!”

Gui Qingtian said, “Where there is white light, one can disappear and be transported to another place. We just need to find that white light.”

“What if this white light is as terrifying as that golden fish?” Ye Longhe frowned deeply.

“Then we’re just unlucky!”

Gui Qingtian’s face showed a fierce expression, “You yourself said it, we only have one chance. We have only forty seconds left. If we miss this, it will be our eternal regret!”

Ye Longhe did not respond.

At that moment, another white light emerged from afar.

There were no people around that spot, and without another word, Gui Qingtian charged straight toward the white light.

Ye Longhe gritted his teeth, scanned the surroundings, and also searched for the white light.

Just then, five figures suddenly charged from a distance at a high speed, causing the lake water behind them to churn continuously.

“Liang Shaohui?”

Ye Longhe’s eyes brightened, “You’re not dead?”

The newcomers were Su Han and his group.

Su Han glanced at Ye Longhe and said in a deep voice, “Find the white light and leave quickly, otherwise you will die here.”

Ye Longhe frowned slightly, but soon he understood why Su Han would say that.

Because behind Su Han and the others, there was a vast black shadow, a hundred meters long, chasing them.

It was a fish, a large fish!

This fish was entirely black and covered in spikes, emitting a black mist from its body that caused the surrounding lake water to evaporate.

That is to say, where this fish passed, there was no trace of lake water at all, creating a vacuum zone!

Ye Longhe finally understood that Su Han and the others had not died but had been pursued constantly by the black fish since entering the bottom of the lake.

However, Ye Longhe also greatly admired them, because under such a terrifying presence, Su Han and his group had still not perished.

“Whoosh!”

There was a flicker of white light, not far from Ye Longhe.

Ye Longhe saluted Su Han with his fist, “If we all manage to leave the Gate of Deer Chasing, Ye promises to find Brother Liang and pay him a visit!”

After finishing his words, without any hesitation, Ye Longhe merged into the white light.
