Chapter 283 - Sky Lake
A true man had to know what to do and what not to do. Saving Goldfish Island was something he had to do.
“I am Long Chen. Miss Xiao Yu told me about the problem on Goldfish Island, and I decided to contribute,” said Long Chen, nodding.
The island chief eyed Long Chen and realized he could not sense the depth of Long Chen’s cultivation. He was in dire need of an expert like that.
“Little Long Chen! My name is Chen Feng. If you don’t mind, you can call me ‘Old Chen!’ I’m very grateful that you would like to help protect Goldfish Island!” Gratitude filled Chen Feng’s eyes.
“Come, come here!” Chen Feng was naturally receptive towards Long Chen and hurriedly led him into an elegant bamboo house. He instructed someone to serve them tea and brought out local pastries to serve Long Chen.
Long Chen did not have much need for food himself, but Ling xi, as a normal human, was very interested in the delicious delicacies. Long Chen did not hold back and passed the food to her so she could enjoy them while he spoke with Chen Feng.
“May I ask where you’re from?” Seeing as Long Chen had reached the Heavenly River Realm at such a young age, he guessed that he was from the imperial capital.
“I can’t say,” Long Chen answered apologetically, shaking his head with a smile. It would be inconvenient, and he did not want to tell him.
“My apologies for intruding!” Chen Feng said.
“Old Chen, I won’t waste time on small talk. When I passed Goldfish Island just now, I saw a man harming Xiao Yu and saved her. She told me about Goldfish Island and what the dwarves are doing, and it’s infuriating. That is why I decided to help. However, I don’t know anything about the dwarves at all, so I hope you can tell me more,” said Long Chen.
“I see. So that’s why the girl brought you here.” Chen Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. “It’s one of the dwarf families that set their eyes on Goldfish Island. That family has always been living near Goldfish Island, and we’re afraid of them. There is a couple in that family, husband and wife, who are both Second River Stage cultivators. They also have a few First River Stage cultivators, so ...”
Long Chen was shocked. There were only two First River Stage cultivators on the island.
“Sir, forgive me, but the enemy is much stronger than you guys. You guys have almost no chance of winning, so why aren’t you moving away? Why would you stay here and die for nothing?” he asked solemnly.
“Migrate the whole tribe? I wanted that too, but only a few people agreed. This land was left to us by our ancestors; how could we give it away just like that? My people have said that it does not matter how strong the enemy is—we will fight until we have shed our last drop of blood! And we refuse to allow the enemy to take it without paying a great price! We will die, but our spirit will live on forever!” Towards the end, Chen Feng was as emotional as Xiao Yu.
When Long Chen saw the old man’s face redden with passion, he was affected too, and he felt his blood boil. Previously, he mainly wanted to help because of Xiaolang, but now we was willing to give it his all.
“Little Long Chen, you have decided to help us and for that, I thank you sincerely. However, the odds of Goldfish Island winning are just too small. You’re still young; you shouldn’t waste your life like that.
“Don’t worry, Old Chen. Even if I am no match for them, staying alive is not a problem. I will do my very best to minimize the casualties on Goldfish Island.” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Chen Feng had told him about the dwarves’ military strength, but Long Chen was still fearless, which moved Chen Feng.
“I think he’s just bullshitting us.” A tall middle-aged man walked into the bamboo house and glanced at Long Chen mildly.
This man’s aura indicated that he was no weaker than Chen Feng. He had to be the other Heavenly River Realm cultivator on Goldfish Island.
“Then why are you sulking? You look like a miserable auntie!” Long Chen laughed.
“You’re the miserable auntie! I’m not!” huffed Ling Xi.
***
It was a cool night.
“I can’t sleep,” said Ling Xi, who was lying in Long Chen’s arms.
“Really?”
“Mhm.”
“I have this nagging feeling that there’s something strange with that mountain. Xiaolang also felt it, I think. But I didn’t want to leave you here. Since you can’t sleep, I’ll take you with me,” said Long Chen, sitting up.
Once Ling Xi put on some thick clothes and tidied herself, Long Chen took her out and called for Xiaolang, who was some distance away from their quarters. The trio then headed towards the center of Goldfish Island.
“Indeed, it’s the aura of a demonic beast. But it is in a deep slumber.” Long Chen noticed this when he approached the mountain. He believed that Chen Feng and the rest were aware that a beast was hiding within Goldfish Island.
When they hiked to the peak, there was a small lake filled with emerald-green water.
Long Chen dipped his hand into the lake and took some out. “The water is warm. This beast should be a fire-type beast. A fire-type beast’s beast core will be useful for you, Xiaolang. Protect Ling Xi while I enter the lake to check it out.”
Xiaolang gave an a-woo and nodded.
Ling Xi was currently very weak, so Long Chen had no choice but to be meticulous about keeping her safe. He set Ling Xi aside, gave her a few reminders, then dove into the warm lake and disappeared beneath the emerald waters.
What surprised him was that despite it being a small lake, it was very deep. It took him a long time to reach the bottom. The temperature was very high here, but a strange type of grass grew at the bottom.
Long Chen looked around the bottom of the lake. The heat was coming from underneath. He wanted to check it out, but there was no opening that would allow him to descend directly.
Of course, he could use brute force to break the lakebed, but that would startle the beast, whose strength level was currently unknown. That was why Long Chen would not dare take the risk.
He scoured the lakebed and finally found a small gap between two boulders in a corner next to a wall. Long Chen entered the gap and found that it was a small underwater pool. It was not a deep pool, so he easily floated to the surface and arrived in an underground cave.
The cave led him downwards.
It’s very likely that this cave will lead to the beast. With that thought, he had no choice but to be extra cautious and not make a single sound. He descended through the cave; the deeper he went, the hotter it became. About fifty meters later, he realized that the rocks around him had turned fire-red.
The beast must be just up ahead ...
