"Found it!"
The instant he found the lake, a wild joy involuntarily surged into Xiao Yan's heart. His heart involuntarily let out an exclamation. Even the Spiritual Strength that he had spread out also began to fluctuate a little.
"Roar!"
Because of this slight fluctuation, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, which had already spread to the air above the lake, suddenly shook. A shocking beast roar was once again transmitted into Xiao Yan's ear from within the mountain forest. At the same time, the strength that had spread to the air above the lake was also forcefully scattered by this beast roar.
Xiao Yan, who was seated cross-legged within the mountain forest, suddenly paled. A solemn expression immediately surged into his eyes.
"As expected, this fellow's strength is indeed not something that an ordinary one star Dou Di can compare with!"
Recalling the words that the black robed old man had said, the expression in Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily hardened. Soon after, however, his pair of white hands slowly clenched into fists. His black eyes revealed a determined expression.
Even though the current Xiao Yan's strength was not comparable to his peak, he had to give it a try no matter what in order to obtain the Spirit Gathering Fruit!
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan's mouth once again exhaled a deep breath of air. His seated body slowly stood up. He turned his gaze and looked in the direction of the lake. If he was right, the 'Soul Agglomerating Fruit' was located there.
Soon after, Xiao Yan's toes pressed gently against the tree trunk. Dou Qi shot out from under his feet. Xiao Yan's body was like an arrow that had left the bow as he swiftly flew toward the deep parts of the mountain forest.
Xiao Yan's body was like a ghost as he shuttled through a countless number of towering ancient trees with a lightning-like speed. Even when he passed by some human elite Dou Di, those people could only see a blurry black light flash before their eyes. They were unable to clearly identify what it was.
The area of this ancient forest was so large that even though Xiao Yan's speed could be said to be frightening, there was still an extremely long distance between him and the lake after continuously shuttling for over ten minutes.
While Xiao Yan was surprised, he couldn't help but marvel at the owner of the ruins.
With such extravagance, he really didn't know how powerful the owner of this ruin was.
Along the way, Xiao Yan had sensed quite a few ferocious auras. There were even a few times when Xiao Yan brushed shoulders with some large and ferocious looking Magical Beasts. If it were not for Xiao Yan's astonishing speed, it was likely that a fierce battle would have been unavoidable.
"Chi …"
However, at a certain moment, Xiao Yan, who was flying at an extremely fast speed, could not help but abruptly come to a halt. He frowned and turned his head to look behind him.
With his powerful Spiritual Strength, Xiao Yan was able to sense that among the Dou Di experts that he had passed by earlier, there seemed to be some who were flying in his direction. Moreover, there were quite a few of them. From the looks of it, they should have been attracted by Xiao Yan.
"Damn it, they are really a group of wolves. They bite me as soon as they catch me. Looks like I need to increase my speed."
After cursing in his heart, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head. His body shook and the Dou Qi in his body circulated at an even faster speed. With a move of his feet, the 'Sky Extinction Steps' was instantly used. His body flashed and immediately turned into a cool breeze that whistled through the mountain forest, shaking off the group of people behind him.
Time quickly flew by as Xiao Yan hurried. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already used the 'Sky Extinction Steps' to fly for nearly an hour. It was only at this moment that the lake appeared once again under the investigation of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength.
"Found it!"
This time, Xiao Yan was not as wild with joy as before. Instead, he tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart. As he flew forward at high speed, his Spiritual Strength carefully extended towards the lake. It carefully passed through the empty space above the lake and approached the small island in the middle of the lake.
Before he even got close, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength had already felt an extremely pure and surging Spiritual Strength. Feeling this strength, the Soul Orb in Xiao Yan's mind that had been silent for a long time immediately reacted. It buzzed and trembled a few times before slowly calming down.
"As expected, it is the Soul Condensation Fruit!"
Xiao Yan could not help but exclaim in surprise in his heart. His figure also quickly approached the lake.
However, it was also at this moment that Xiao Yan suddenly realized that on the land surrounding the lake, there was actually …
There was actually a huge Magic Beast corpse!
"This … this is …"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan's heart was immediately shocked. His body that was swiftly rushing forward also hurriedly stopped in the sky. At the same time, his pair of dark-black eyes carried a deep shock as he looked at the huge Magic Beast corpse below.
This Magic Beast was a huge python. The surface of this python's body was covered with a layer of dark-black scales that were even harder than steel. Numerous strange lines also appeared on its body. Although it had been dead for a period of time, the body of this Magic Beast was actually able to emit a faintly discernible pressure. This was enough to show just how strong this Magic Beast was when it was alive.
"This Magic Beast is actually at the Dou Di class!"
The expression in Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly hardened. His heart involuntarily felt a deep seriousness. A Dou Di class Magic Beast had actually died outside of this lake. Earlier, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength had clearly been attacked by some kind of Magic Beast. In other words, this Magic Beast corpse in front of him had either been killed by the owner of this lake and left here as a deterrent, or it was the original owner of this lake who had been killed in this place!
Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, Xiao Yan was certain in his heart that at this moment, there was definitely an even stronger Magical Beast hiding under the lake in front of him at this moment!
"Gulp gulp …"
Even with Xiao Yan's mental fortitude, his throat involuntarily emitted a swallowing sound when he thought of this. At this moment, Gu You, who was within Xiao Yan's body, actually laughed for some unknown reason, causing Xiao Yan to feel extremely confused.
"Dammit, the strength of this Magic Beast underwater is likely at least at the advanced one star Dou Di class. This time around, I will have to go all out no matter what!"
His heart was extremely solemn as he quietly cautioned himself. A thought passed through Xiao Yan's mind and the injured Northern King appeared beside Xiao Yan.
After a couple of days of recovery, the two handprints on the Northern King's chest might have completely recovered. However, the crack lines that had been forcefully formed by the Dou Qi had yet to recover. Once he used the Northern King to fight, it was likely that this puppet that had followed Xiao Yan for many years would be destroyed here.
Although Xiao Yan felt some reluctance in his heart, he also knew that he would have to pay a price in order to obtain something. Perhaps the price he would have to pay this time around would be the Northern King.
Xiao Yan was still a little worried after summoning the Northern King. Soon after, a thought passed through his mind and nine avatars immediately formed in the empty space beside him. After which, they merged into one. The strength of the avatars had also greatly increased after the merger. They had reached the advanced five star Ban Di class. Although it was somewhat impossible for them to greatly help Xiao Yan, a little more strength meant a little more protection. This was extremely important to the current Xiao Yan.
After a couple of breaths, Xiao Yan led one of the avatars and the Northern King to the side of the lake.
Xiao Yan's gaze passed through the surface of the lake and stared at the small exquisite tree on the small island in the middle of the lake. When he saw the milky white fruit on the tree, his emotions became even more fiery.
Just at this moment, the calm lake in front of Xiao Yan suddenly began to churn. An enormous black figure gradually rose from the bottom of the lake. Finally, it broke out of the water. The first thing to appear on the surface of the water was a lightning-like horn. Following which, a huge snake head appeared. Following which, an enormous body appeared on the surface of the water.
This Magical Beast was the same as the dead Magical Beast on the shore. It was also a snake-like Magical Beast. However, although it was clearly a snake, there was a lightning-like horn on the snake's head. Moreover, there were many whale-like patterns on its abdomen.
However, the moment this Magical Beast appeared, the solemn expression that had just surfaced on Xiao Yan's face, who was standing on the shore, immediately became stunned when he clearly saw the Magical Beast in front of him. This was because the Magical Beast in front of him was the one that Xiao Yan had originally thought to be dead in the outside world …
"Ancient Whale Snake!"
