None of the cultivators beside the fat and thin old men replied.
None of them were fools. The other sects and factions did not make any moves against a treasure as such – who knew what sort of dangers they would encounter if they were to obtain the Seven Dawn Immortal Ginseng?
The fat old man said with a smile, "His Highness said that apart from that item, the other treasures in the emperor's tomb will belong to whoever obtains them. This is your opportunity."
The thin old man added, "Don't worry. If we can obtain the Seven Dawn Immortal Ginseng, the other sects and factions will definitely not dare to lay their hands on it!"
Some of the cultivators tried arriving at the edge of the lake and gazing at it intently.
The lake was calm and deep such that one could not see what was going on inside at all. Even their spirit consciousnesses could not enter.
Some cultivators tried to throw a few stones into the lake, causing a series of ripples to appear on the surface of the lake.
There was still no change in the massive lake.
When the other cultivators around the lake saw that, they tried all sorts of methods to test the edge of the lake as well. However, there was no reaction.
Finally, a cultivator could not hold it in any longer and leaped into the air, sprinting towards the lone island on the surface of the lake!
That person's movement technique was extremely profound as he stepped on the lake with the tip of his feet, leaving a shallow trail on the surface of the lake – his speed was shocking.
In the blink of an eye, that person was only half the distance to the lone island.
Throughout the entire process, there was no danger.
However, Su Zimo stared at the deep lake the entire time. His spirit perception could clearly sense that danger was approaching!
When the other cultivators saw that, they could not hold it in any longer as well.
If that person were to obtain the Seven Dawn Immortal Ginseng and devour it, it would be a tremendous loss for them!
Instantly, at least dozens of figures around the lake moved one after another and sped towards the lone island with their movement techniques.
Although Mystic Immortals could fly, it consumed way too much essence qi.
Therefore, most of the dozens of cultivators chose to speed on the surface of the lake and make use of the power of the lake to support their bodies.
That way, everyone would have the time and strength to react even if anything were to happen.
Sensing the danger of the lake, Su Zimo retreated a few steps instinctively.
On the other side, his expression changed as he noticed that Tang Ziyi was walking towards the edge of the lake. She was staring at the lone island in the distance, seemingly interested.
"What is she doing?"
Su Zimo was curious.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the direction of the lake and stopped abruptly!
Su Zimo looked in the direction of the sound, but did not see what had happened.
"What happened?"
Su Zimo asked with a frown.
A cultivator at the side widened his eyes in disbelief and said slowly, "Just Now, the cultivator at the front suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake and disappeared!"
Su Zimo saw that the man was hesitating, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"
The cultivator hesitantly said, "It's as if something in the lake dragged that person down …"
"Ah!"
At this moment, another scream came from the lake.
Su Zimo continued to stare at the surface of the lake. This time, he saw it clearly.
Suddenly, a black shadow darted out from beneath the lake. Opening its mouth, it swallowed the legs of a cultivator and dragged him into the lake!
The black shadow's mouth was filled with incomparably sharp sawtooth teeth.
The moment the cultivator sank into the lake, a fountain of blood gushed out from the surface of the lake!
The sudden turn of events caused the dozens of cultivators who were still running on the lake to be greatly shocked. All of their faces changed color in horror!
Those cultivators had sharp reactions and stopped right away. Channeling their Dharmic arts, they soared into the air, wanting to leave the lake.
However, before those cultivators could escape completely, black shadows tore through the surface of the lake one after another and leaped out, devouring the cultivators in midair!
This time round, the cultivators around the lake could see it clearly.
Those black shadows were a type of fish with strange appearances. They were pitch-black and had no eyes. Their tails were gigantic and when they slapped the surface of the lake, the immense force caused them to leap into the air!
Instantly, at least hundreds of eyeless fish tore through the surface of the lake and chased after the cultivators in midair.
The teeth of those eyeless fish were extremely sharp. The moment they opened their mouths, their upper and lower jaws would protrude forward in a menacing manner!
Once one was bitten by those eyeless fish, there was no way they could escape.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten eyeless fish could devour a cultivator until only his skeleton was left!
The dozens of cultivators were too close to the lake.
The eyeless fish leaped out from the lake and many cultivators could not dodge in time. Before they could fly far, they were devoured by the eyeless fish and buried in the lake!
"I think I've seen a fish like that in an ancient book,"
The fat old man at the side murmured with a wary expression, "It's said that these fish only have one of their five senses, smell. They can sniff out all sorts of life auras."
"As soon as other living beings enter their territory, they will attack in groups until they are torn apart and devoured!"
Pshew!
Right then, another figure appeared on the surface of the lake and sped towards the lone island in the middle of the lake.
Tragic cries and wails were endless above the lake and it was filled with blood. Nobody dared to take another step forward.
Li Tian, Jian Yu and the others were also pale and rejoiced internally.
Thankfully, they did not act rashly. Otherwise, given their methods, it would have been difficult for them to escape the pursuit of the eyeless fish.
The appearance of that figure was extremely eye-catching!
"There's really someone who isn't afraid of death and dares to go up."
"After all, the treasure is right in front of us. If we can risk our lives for such a great opportunity, there's a high chance we can transform into a dragon and soar into the heavens!"
"Hmph! If we can't even protect our lives, how can we transform into a dragon? "
Many cultivators had different expressions.
"It's Tang Ziyi!"
Su Zimo furrowed his brows slightly.
Just Now, he noticed that Tang Ziyi was moved. Furthermore, there was a slight change in her emotions when she caught sight of the Seven Dawn Immortal Ginseng.
He had not expected that Tang Ziyi would disregard the danger and want to charge across the lake to the lone island!
Of course, as an assassin, Tang Ziyi had an excellent grasp of the opportunity to make a move.
At that moment, the attention of the hundreds of eyeless fish was focused on the dozens of cultivators in midair.
Tang Ziyi ignored the consumption of her essence qi and soared into the air. She was almost 90 feet tall and flew over everyone's heads, heading towards the lone island.
Halfway through Tang Ziyi's journey, the surface of the lake splashed!
At least thousands of black figures broke through the surface of the water and chased after Tang Ziyi in midair!
Psst!
Many cultivators felt their scalps prickle when they saw that!
Thousands of eyeless fish broke through the surface of the water and soared into the air at a height of 90 feet or even higher!
Instantly, Tang Ziyi was in danger!
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Tang Ziyi opened her mouth and let out the sound of an immortal whale.
