Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 667: Chapter 667: The Pathetic Sky-boring Rat

”Look! That row of Little Cats are all squatting on the edge of the well, their tails dipped into the well water... Are they trying to fish for treasures?”

Looking at the colorful Little Cats in such adorable poses, a female Disciple from Blood Spirit Tian couldn’t help but giggle behind her hand.

”Hehe, this is so amusing!”

”These Little Cats are just too cute. I really wish I could take one home!”

”I’ll say it again, I love that little blue one!”

”I prefer the red one!”

”...”

The female Disciples from Blood Spirit Tian, gathered on one of the outer sides of the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse, chattered and laughed as they pointed towards the edge of the well.

”All of you, mind your conduct! Stop this nonsense!”

Nan Shaohua turned around, her gaze sharp, and sent a voice transmission to each Disciple.

After all, these are the demon beasts of a senior. Though their cultivation bases are indistinct and unclear, they all seem to have significant backgrounds and must not be casually disrespected. The Little Black Cat we saw earlier, despite only having a Level one cultivation base in the Life and Death Realm, was completely unharmed when the Man-eating Demon Fish bit its tail. This shows that the Little Black Cat’s physical body is exceptionally strong. As for the other Little Cats...

Nan Shaohua secretly guessed that each of them probably possessed an unfathomable cultivation base.

This senior is a figure comparable to the First Ancestor, with an astounding cultivation base, likely having already reached the Eternal Realm Peak... Nan Shaohua thought to herself, clutching the silver Fishing Rod.

On the edge of the well.

”Huh? If even Cat Boy can fish for treasures, then I should be able to as well, right?”

The Sky-boring Rat, hiding at the very edge of the well, its eyes gleaming, finally couldn’t hold back when it saw Cat Boy dip his tail into the well water.

It, too, coveted the treasures within the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse immensely.

The Sky-boring Rat had just scurried a few steps towards the inner edge of the well when it suddenly saw the Big Black Cat glance over at it.

”Coward! The Man-eating Demon Fish in this well are incredibly fierce. You’d better not go looking for humiliation!” the Big Black Cat said, deliberately trying to scare it while pinching its nose.

”Cat Brother, if Cat Boy, who just broke through to the Destiny Realm, can fish, then surely I, at Life-death Mirror Level 2, can also do it, right?” the Sky-boring Rat said with a shifty grin.

It didn’t adopt the Big Black Cat’s ”squatting” posture. Instead, it sat on the edge of the well and suddenly flicked its long, yellow tail towards the well water.

”Coward!” the Big Black Cat’s eyes widened as it scolded angrily. ”I know a rat’s tail is long, but for you to sit like that, a rat deliberately trying to stand out among us cats, isn’t that disrespectful to the respected seniors?”

”The Little Black Cat has a point. We all adopt this posture to fish for treasures—yet you, a mere Sky-boring Rat, insist on doing things your own way. Are you looking down on us old-timers?” the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon huffed coldly, its eyes glinting menacingly.

”Senior, I truly didn’t mean that! I’ll change it right away!”

The Sky-boring Rat turned pale with fright and quickly spun around, pointing its rear towards the well water.

Then, PLOP!

Its tail shot out, rapidly descending into the well water.

”You little rascal, you certainly know how to adapt to the situation quickly, don’t you!” the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon remarked dryly, one eye open.

”Seniors, how would I dare offend any of you?” the Sky-boring Rat scratched its head with a claw, smiling awkwardly.

”We Little Cats are here fishing for treasures, and along comes a yellow-furred rat. Tsk tsk, this little spectacle of yours is truly an embarrassment to us...” the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon said, shaking its head as it looked at the sneaky Sky-boring Rat.

”Exactly! Coward, you shouldn’t even be fishing! The moment you sat there, you completely ruined the perfect picture!” the Big Black Cat exclaimed, glaring.

”I...” The Sky-boring Rat was on the verge of tears, stunned speechless.

It didn’t know what to say. It was just a tiny rat demon; couldn’t it even fish for treasures? As for ruining the picture? What picture had it ruined? It didn’t quite understand.

”Forget it, don’t bother with it. Let it try...” the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon said dismissively.

Seeing the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, the one with the highest cultivation base, speak, both the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon and the Bloody Overlord Demonic Dragon fell silent.

The Sky-boring Rat felt uneasy, as if it were caught between a rock and a hard place.

However, it had spent its entire life collecting treasures, and now that it was at the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse, it naturally didn’t want to miss out. At this moment, its inner desire was incredibly strong. Anyway, the Master already considers me a demon beast of the Dragon God Sect. No matter what, I won’t be killed by those seniors, so my life isn’t in danger... the Sky-boring Rat thought to itself.

It gritted its teeth, making up its mind in that instant.

As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold. This time, it would go against the flow; after all, the Azure Sea Heavenly Dragon, the senior with the highest cultivation base, had already given its permission. Therefore, it would ignore the Nether Blood Green Wooden Dragon’s words and try its luck. If it could really fish out a treasure, it would quit while it was ahead, retreat quickly, and hurry back to the carriage. Then, it would keep a low profile.

「From another direction.」

The Sect Master of Great Sun Heaven—the old man in the yellow robe—smirked, a cold sneer playing on his lips. These demon beasts are truly overestimating themselves. Would the Man-eating Demon Fish in the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse really let them off?

The people from the other major Sects also showed disdain as they watched the peculiar antics of these demon beasts.

In a place like the Deep Well of Ghastly Corpse, without a Deep well fishing rod, one would become a target for the Man-eating Demon Fish. The Four Supreme Heavens of the Heavenly Sun Dynasty had paid a bitter price for this lesson in the past.

In the depths of the dark well water, numerous black Man-eating Demon Fish swam about, searching for prey. The unique Super Divine Dragon Breath emanating from the Deep well fishing rods deterred them from attacking those.

However, they had now discovered a group of demon beasts. The powerful Super Divine Dragon Breath released by these demon beasts momentarily kept them at bay.

One Man-eating Demon Fish let out a low hiss, its eyes suddenly lighting up as a vicious glint flashed through them. With a flick of its tail, WHOOSH, it shot towards a yellow tail in the well water.

CRACK!

A nearby Man-eating Demon Fish opened its massive maw, its sharp, silver teeth sinking viciously into the tail.

”AH!”

On the edge of the well, the Sky-boring Rat shrieked, feeling a section of its tail being bitten off.

The Sky-boring Rat was scared out of its wits. How could these Man-eating Demon Fish be so fierce? It was of the Demon Clan, and its physical body was relatively strong; how could its tail be severed so easily?

Just as it was about to leap up, several black streaks suddenly flashed from the water. CRACK! CRACK! A few silver glints flashed, and the tail submerged in the well water was bitten off in succession and devoured by the Man-eating Demon Fish.

The Sky-boring Rat, writhing in agony, leaped into the air.

Water splashed everywhere.

SWOOSH...

Black Man-eating Demon Fish actually flew out of the well water, their wings spread, heading straight for the Sky-boring Rat.

One Man-eating Demon Fish, having reached Level one of Life and Death Realm, was extremely fast, outpacing the others. In the blink of an eye, it was upon the Sky-boring Rat, its mouth open, its sharp silver teeth clamping down on the remainder of the rat’s tail.

CRACK! The Man-eating Demon Fish bit off the Sky-boring Rat’s entire tail and swallowed it.

”AH!”

The Sky-boring Rat let out a hysterical scream, its rat-like face contorted in pain as fresh blood gushed from the stump of its tail.

”This Coward is too weak! Its entire tail was eaten by the Man-eating Demon Fish...” the Big Black Cat said, dumbfounded.

The Sky-boring Rat, in midair, suddenly turned entirely black, its body stiffening like iron, and then it plummeted. It was falling towards the pitch-black well water.

SPLASH!

The well water roiled violently. About twenty Man-eating Demon Fish shot out of the water, leaping into the air, their sinister mouths wide open as they lunged towards the Sky-boring Rat.
