Chapter 22: The Lake of Death
TL: Etude
"We have maps of the Lake of Death priced at 10,000 and 100,000. Which one would you like, sir?" the female clerk asked earnestly.
"What's the difference?" Ye Tian inquired.
"The 10,000 one provides a general layout and basic information, while the 100,000 one offers detailed information, even including the types and weaknesses of many aquatic beasts in the Lake of Death," the clerk responded.
"Give me the 100,000 one," Ye Tian declared.
A mere 100,000 was nothing to him. The more he could learn about the Lake of Death, the better, as it would help him avoid many dangers. After paying the 100,000, Ye Tian obtained the map of the Lake of Death and also purchased some healing medicines.
Having bought what he needed, Ye Tian left some instructions for his sister Ye Yu and then left Linhai Base.
...
The ten-kilometer journey was not easy. Ye Tian was extremely cautious and took more than half a day to finally arrive at the Lake of Death.
Boom!
The sound of battle echoed from a distance.N♡vεlB¡n: Your Escape into Infinite Tales.
"There’s people!" Ye Tian was somewhat surprised.
The Lake of Death was considered a dangerous place, and it was far from Linhai Base. Even Elite Martial Warriors wouldn't normally venture this far to hunt beasts. Why would there be Martial Warriors here?
"I need to be careful," Ye Tian thought to himself.
Martial Warriors might coexist peacefully within Linhai Base, but that wasn't necessarily the case in the wilderness. Conflicts over resources were not uncommon.
He walked quietly, making almost no sound, and approached the Lake of Death step by step. The terrain around the lake was peculiar, surrounded by hills on all sides. The only advantage for Ye Tian was that the hills were covered with trees, providing ample dark spots suitable for him to use his shadow talent to hide.
Soon, a group of people appeared in Ye Tian's line of sight. He hid in the darkness and observed carefully.
"It's her!" Ye Tian recognized a familiar figure—it was Yue Ling, whom he had seen in the Martial Pavilion.
"It's too late!" The old man despaired.
They had never expected such a situation. This was just a remote area, yet a top-level beast had appeared—a creature only a Grandmaster could handle.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
One by one, the Elite Martial Warriors charged at the top-level beast crocodile, launching suicidal attacks. The old man pushed Yue Ling far away and formed the last line of defense with the middle-aged man.
Yue Ling glanced back, knowing she couldn't save the others. She had to leave, or they would all die here.
But while Yue Ling wanted to leave, the other crocodiles had no intention of letting her go. A group of them chased after her, and she didn't dare to stop, running for her life.
"Such speed, such power. Yue Ling must be at the peak of Elite Martial Warrior. She could easily kill me in a second," Ye Tian assessed.
No matter how strong Yue Ling was, she couldn't defeat so many crocodiles, especially when her guards couldn't hold off the top-level beast for long.
So, Yue Ling went all out.
Boom!
A Grand Martial Warrior's aura erupted from Yue Ling. She had used a secret technique to temporarily elevate her strength to that of a Grand Martial Warrior. This was a temporary boost; once the technique's time limit expired, she would be left in a weakened state and would surely die.
"Die!"
With a single sword thrust, Yue Ling pierced the skull of one crocodile and kicked another away. Her combat power was off the charts. But there were too many crocodiles, and soon she was hit and injured.
She ran and they chased. Soon, Yue Ling was covered in injuries, and the number of pursuing crocodiles had dwindled. She didn't know how far she had run, but there were no more crocodiles behind her. However, her injuries were severe.
Suddenly, Yue Ling's expression changed. "Not good, the secret technique's duration is up!"
Then, she despaired.
This was the wilderness; she hadn't reached a safe area yet. When the secret technique's time expired, she would undoubtedly fall into a state of weakness and unconsciousness. Any beast could easily kill her then.
Before she could think of a solution, her consciousness faded, and she collapsed on the ground. Just as she hit the ground, she seemed to see a figure appear beside her.
