With Qin Yitian leading the way, the four of them took many twists and turns, passing through several forks along the way. After an hour, the terrain became flat and open. Looking ahead, they saw a thick stone wall in front of them.
They seemed to have reached the end of the underwater continent because the stone wall had completely blocked the way. There was no way forward.
Qin Yitian suddenly stopped and turned to the three of them. "This is the place. This should be the Jiao Dragon King's cave that you're looking for," she said softly.
Since he had arrived at his destination, Lu Qingshan did not care about the doubts in his heart for the time being and quickly sized up his surroundings.
With just a glance, he was roughly sure that even if this was not the Jiao Dragon King's cave, it must be the core of the Jiao Dragon Clan.
This was because there was a huge cave shining with a layer of light on the black-gray stone wall that blocked the way. It looked extremely extraordinary.
"Go and check out the situation. Be careful," Lu Qingshan ordered the Western Rat King.
He had specially brought the Western Rat King here because he had considered the current situation.
Although the Western Rat King was usually very slow, it was still very helpful at times like this.
The Western Rat King nodded. Its shiny silver-gray fur immediately turned into a water-like existence. After being covered by a layer of flowing light, its originally extremely small body became illusory.
Its figure flashed, and turned into a faint shadow. Then, it quickly approached the huge cave on the stone wall.
Under everyone's gaze, the Western Rat King crashed into the light wave.
The four of them were still lying quietly beside a huge rock that was extremely far away from the cave, waiting for the Western Rat King's news.
Although they had the Spirit Concealment Pendant, they did not dare to be careless. They were afraid that they would be detected if they made any movements, so they were still extremely far away from the cave.
After a while.
Hidden Sword frowned and mumbled, "How big can this cave be? Why hasn't he come out yet? Did something happen to the Western Rat King?"
Lu Qingshan was also secretly worried.
However, the Western Rat King's awakened stealth ability was one of the most famous abilities of the Illusory Rat Clan. Even in the entire Demon Clan, it was one of the best stealth abilities. Logically speaking, it should not be so easy for something to go wrong.
"Lu Qingshan, you're right. That cave is indeed the Jiao Dragon King's cave. The Dragon Transformation Pool is also built inside." Just as the three of them were starting to worry, a voice suddenly rang out. Then, beside Hidden Sword's feet, the West Rat King, who was covered in silver-gray fur, slowly appeared, shocking all of them.
At some point in time, the West Rat King had already left Demon King Jiao Long's cave abode and returned to their side.
However, until the West Rat King showed himself, none of them noticed his arrival.
The Illusory Rat Clan's bloodline's Innate Bloodline ability was extraordinary.
Perhaps someone had already discovered it but did not say anything.
Lu Qingshan glanced at Qin Yitian from the corner of his eye. She looked calm and did not seem surprised at all, so he thought to himself.
Mo Yan's face lit up. "Finally!"
"But there are two ferocious-looking Rank-3 Jiao Beasts guarding the cave. It might be a little difficult to go around them and get to the Dragon Transformation Pool," the Western Rat King reminded them again.
Mo Yan's face turned serious.
They had indeed killed the Rank-3 Jiao Beast with ease. However, Mo Yan understood that it was all because the Jiao Beast was already dead and its combat power had been greatly reduced.
The Jiao Beasts guarding the Dragon Transformation Pool must be the elites of the Jiao Clan. They would not be so easy to deal with.
"If we want to make a move on the Dragon Transformation Pool, we have to deal with these two Rank-3 Jiao Beasts first," Lu Qingshan said in a low voice.
Mo Yan understood this as well. He said, "Actually, I've already considered this situation, so I've prepared many things beforehand. However, they are Rank-3 Jiao Beasts after all. No matter how well prepared we are, there are still risks …"
"Grandmaster Mo, please be rest assured. We naturally understand the risks of this trip. However, since we have agreed to your invitation, we have already made preparations to deal with the dangers." Lu Qingshan understood Mo Yan's worries and spoke to reassure him.
"Lu Qingshan is right. Once a promise is made, it's hard to take it back!" Hidden Sword's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the light wave at the entrance of the Jiao Dragon King's cave. He was eager and confident. "It's just a Rank-3 Jiao Beast, not a Jiao Dragon King. It's a good opportunity to test my sword!"
After confirming that Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword had no intention of retreating, Mo Yan let out a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Qin Yitian, who was standing quietly to the side. After some thought, he walked up to her and cupped his fists in gratitude. "Thank you for leading the way, Miss Qin. However, what we're about to do is extremely dangerous. We might even attract many Jiao Beasts.
Miss Qin, it's best if you leave first so that you won't be implicated by us. We'll wait until you're far away before we act. "
No matter how much he suspected Qin Yitian, there was no doubt that she had led them to the Dragonize Pool.
Therefore, no matter how strange her background was, Mo Yan didn't think it was a problem. Therefore, Mo Yan didn't want to put her in danger.
Qin Yitian stared at Mo Yan, her eyes bright. "It's fine. Do what you need to do. I'll wait here."
"But …" Mo Yan hesitated.
"Don't worry. I have a way to protect myself." Qin Yitian narrowed her eyes and said lightly.
Mo Yan turned to Lu Qingshan, his eyes full of questions.
Lu Qingshan looked at Qin Yitian.
Qin Yitian met his gaze calmly, her eyes as clear as water.
After some thought, Lu Qingshan decided, "Then please be careful, Miss Qin."
Qin Yitian nodded and didn't say anything else.
.....
The Jiao Dragon Demon King's abode was the most noble and core of the Jiao Clan. Therefore, the abodes of the other Jiao Beasts were far from the capital. They didn't have to worry about reinforcements from the Jiao Clan.
Only the two third-rank Jiao Beasts guarding the Dragonize Pool were a difficult obstacle for them to overcome.
For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to kill two Third Grade Flood Dragon Beasts, in the eyes of others, it was absolutely impossible.
"Fortunately, the Dragonize Pool is in a cave. The terrain is narrow and it's a huge obstacle for the Jiao Beasts. We can use this as an advantage and catch them like a turtle in a jar …" Mo Yan began to plan.
"If the two of you don't have any questions, shall we begin the operation according to what I said?" Mo Yan asked the two of them after finalizing the general plan.
Lu Qingshan and Hidden Sword looked at each other and shook their heads. "Master Mo, you're well prepared. If we do as you say, we'll have a high chance of success. Of course, we have no objections."
"Good!" Mo Yan nodded heavily. "Then let's get started."
.....
The three of them left the boulder they were hiding in and stuck close to the walls on both sides, slowly approaching the cave.
When they were only three to four hundred feet away from the cave, Mo Yan no longer hid himself.
In fact, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't be discovered at such a close distance.
Mo Yan flew up and waved his hands. Dozens of fist-sized red beads flew out of his hands and shot into the cave.
At the same time, Mo Yan spat out a spirit bead. Five-colored light rippled out, temporarily blocking the area.
"Third-rank Jiao Beasts are powerful. If we fight them head-on, I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything."
"I've prepared dozens of Red Lotus Deviant Flame Beads. When we start, I'll throw all of them into the cave.
The Jiao Beasts' duty is to protect the Dragonize Pool. In order to protect the Dragonize Pool, they'll definitely resist the Deviant Flame Beads with all their might. They won't choose to escape from the cave. "
"The Jiao Beasts are Sea Demons. These Deviant Flame Beads were refined from my own Red Lotus Deviant Flame. Even if they're third-rank Jiao Beasts, they won't feel good if they take so many Deviant Flame Beads."
This was the first step of Mo Yan's plan.
The Red Lotus Deviant Flame Beads were refined in a similar way to the Thunder Beads. However, because its raw material was a tyrannical Deviant Flame, it was more powerful than the Thunder Beads. When used against water-type Sea Demons, its lethality was even higher. It was a terrifying consumable.
Mo Yan threw all the Red Lotus Deviant Flame Beads he had accumulated over the years at the two third-rank Jiao Beasts.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "As the Red Lotus Deviant Flame Beads flew, they started to burn. They quickly expanded into a ball of fire, easily breaking through the light at the entrance of the cave and shooting into the cave.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Moo! Moo! "
Explosions rang out one after another, accompanied by the furious roars of the Jiao Beasts. They rang out, causing Lu Qingshan's ears to ring.
Blazing red flames continuously surged out of the cave.
The scorching heat caused the rocks at the entrance to melt.
One could imagine what kind of terrifying fire was inside the cave.
