Chapter 141 The Mouse Makes a Scene at the Sea, The Protective Little Spider (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Gurgle..."
The mouse sank continuously into the underworld, exhaling large amounts of bubbles.
The so-called "fishing alone for eternity"?
So that's what they used for fishing!
What's the difference between this and being extremely busy with countless tasks every day?
No wonder that scoundrel beast tamer was so generous in giving him twenty bags of potato chips. I thought he had a change of heart, but it turns out he was letting the rats dig a nest so he could go fishing for big fish in the underworld.
Most importantly, it even foolishly saved the repairman ten packs of medicine.
They were sold out and they're still helping to count the money!
This is outright fraud, a deception of the innocent minds of young rats. It's even more evil than the Faceless Brotherhood, a twisted, heartless cult.
"Waaaah, so it really was the hamster who disturbed your harmonious life? I'm not worthy anymore, I'll just drown in this Yellow Springs now..."
The mouse was filled with resentment and wanted Xiuren to know how painful it was to lose it.
Once Xiu Ren realized his mistake, he was reborn in a flash, and the rat was resurrected. Xiu Ren fawned over him!
Hmm... This script is good. As expected, the mouse has the potential to become a famous director.
As the mouse pondered, just as it was about to follow the script, it suddenly realized something: it had already drunk several mouthfuls of the Yellow Springs poison, yet it hadn't been affected by it, let alone corroded it.
Could it be that I am the chosen one?
Just as it was wondering, Lu Yu's voice rang out through the soul link, tinged with a hint of speechlessness, saying:
"I've already told you... not to be so lewd whenever you have free time. Have you forgotten what the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree originated from?"
As a family member, Lu Yu would naturally not betray Shu Shu, because he dared to do so only when he was absolutely certain of success.
He wouldn't sacrifice a hamster just to save a few bags of potato chips.
"source……"
The mouse's eyes widened, and it suddenly remembered that the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree originated from the Ghostly Soul Tree, one of the original seven great royal trees of the underworld.
Its essence is so lofty that even the real underworld, the River Styx, and the Yellow Springs might not be able to corrupt it, let alone the Yellow Springs ecosystem conceived by a mere skeletal angel after its death.
It's as ridiculous as trying to make an entire freshwater lake salty with a bag of salt.
In other words, if it had just calmed down a bit, it wouldn't have needed to drink so much water!
Thinking of this, the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree phantom appeared in the shadow of the rat, and the power of the ghostly soul surrounded him, condensing into a barrier that shielded him from the waters of the Yellow Springs.
In addition, the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree began to spread, drawing water from the Yellow Springs to irrigate itself. While this water was highly poisonous to living beings, it was one of the nutrients the tree needed for growth.
Moreover, since its birth, apart from the smiling corpse mountain, the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree has never been full. Now that it has finally encountered a feast, it naturally cannot let it go. It eats with gusto, turning into a vortex, and a large number of patterns manifested by the power of the Yellow Springs appear on its roots.
If you open the proficiency panel, you'll see the proficiency of the [Thousand-Faced Soul Tree] skill increase rapidly, but the mouse is a little annoyed...
Looking at its increasingly yellow fur, almost the same color as the underworld, which was seriously affecting its appearance, it couldn't help but ask worriedly:
"Shuren, why have I turned so yellow?"
If this continues, won't I lose my status as the number one beautiful beast in my team?
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then replied earnestly:
"Perhaps one's appearance reflects one's inner state."
After all, other pet animals are white with a reddish tinge, but the mouse is white with a yellowish tinge.
"..."
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
The hamster felt insulted, but what angered it most was that it couldn't find any evidence to prove that it wasn't a hamster.
Damn it, this is a verbal attack by a cultivator!
This is happening to the CPU itself!
"Pfft!" The little spider couldn't help but turn its head and laugh. The ruined Gundam was trembling, and it would have fallen apart if it hadn't been controlled in time.
As for Egg... unusually, he didn't think about eating mice today; his clear, foolish eyes were fixed on the temple.
Although it doesn't have a contract yet, Lu Yu keeps it by his side most of the time, so he can throw it out to hit people when there's danger.
Lu Yu didn't forget the important matter and asked:
"Can you sense the presence of the skeletal angel's will?"
"no."
The mouse snapped out of its daze, carefully sensed the surroundings for a while, and shook its head. Although the Yellow Springs was of a higher rank than it, making it impossible to explore many places.
However, it can be sensed that it only possesses a basic will and does not have the consciousness of a higher life form.
"It seems the skeletal angel has truly perished. That's for the best; the danger level has been reduced considerably."
Lu Yu seemed to be deep in thought, then sent the rat down to search for the Yellow Spring Jade and the sealed object.
Just then, the Yellow Spring Nether Fish sensed the presence of the rat and rushed over, preparing to devour this foreign life. However, before it could get close, it was grabbed by a giant hand formed by the intertwined roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree.
"If you can't deal with Xiu Ren, you can at least deal with yourselves!"
The mouse was furious and had lost all tolerance for these annoying creatures. It threw them directly into the vortex created by the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, where they were instantly crushed and turned into fertilizer.
Although the individual soul strength of the Yellow Spring Nether Fish is not high, their sheer number makes up for it. After absorbing a large amount, flower buds began to form on the branches of the Thousand Faces Soul Tree, a soul fruit slowly grew and formed, and a second flower bud also began to emerge.
The mouse also noticed this, so it took the opportunity to catch more Yellow Spring Nether Fish. The next time Xiu Ren said it was lazy and gluttonous, it would domineeringly throw a good fruit in his face and then add, "Here you go."
Xiu Ren didn't dare to refute it; just imagining the scene was thrilling.
Moreover, the clever mouse doesn't need to work hard; it can simply let its clones do the work while it sits in the center and controls the overall situation.
However, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is...
Several mouse clones looked at the mouse and retorted:
"Weren't you supposed to be doing the work? Why are we being made to work overtime?"
"Just because you're a mouse doesn't mean we aren't! Believe me or not, we'll file for labor arbitration!"
"Down with these unscrupulous middlemen! We need to connect directly with the manufacturers."
"..."
In the depths of the underworld, the telepathic connection kept flashing, making the mouse's face turn black.
None of these rat clones inherited its hard work and diligence; they all just knew how to cheat and sly.
Moreover, there is a rat clone that wants to replace it as the cultivator; this kid is already courting death.
However, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, the mouse reluctantly promised to give out five bags of potato chips. In the end, the mouse clones reluctantly started working, saying that it was only because of Xiu Ren.
"Sisters, let's get to work!"
The first rat clone waved its paw, conjuring up a fisherman's outfit for itself, and then rushed out.
Although the Yellow Springs Fish are ferocious, they can sense great danger when faced with the even more ferocious rats and turn to run away.
But it was too late. The rat clones intercepted them and used the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree to weave a large net to capture them, directly activating the "root and branch" mode. They didn't even spare the Yellow Spring Water Ghost Flower, dragging it away to use as fertilizer.
Paired with that blood-red Thousand Faces Touch, resembling the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), the Soul Cloud could cosplay as the Wind and Fire Wheels, making it a perfect version of Nezha's havoc in the Beast Taming World.
A swarm of rats is causing chaos in the sea!
The commotion was so great that it threw the entire Yellow Springs into chaos, making it incredibly murky and obscuring its true state.
However, with the combined efforts of several rat clones and the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, everything about the Underworld gradually began to unfold before Lu Yu. Meanwhile,
Although the others had given up on the idea of crossing the Yellow Springs, they had been keeping an eye on Lu Yuren's every move. When they saw him walk over, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Is there another way?
Qi Wei quickly raised his phone to take a picture, but then saw Lu Yu take out a fishing rod made of spider silk.
Because of the limited perspective, I could only guess what kind of bait was tied by looking at the back of the figure's movements before casting the line.
They actually went fishing!
"Although the Netherworld Fish can evolve into the Netherworld Shark, which has the potential to become a leader and is an excellent undead-type pet, this is the first time I've heard that you can fish in the Netherworld?"
"Wow, they even go to the underworld! That fisherman is terrifying!"
"Is this guy trying to earn some extra money to supplement his income?"
"Could it be that they didn't get enough fishing in the Crimson Dragon Secret Realm last time, so they came here to have some more?"
"..."
Everyone secretly thought that Lu Yu was trying to cut his losses by realizing that the Yellow Springs Secret Realm was too difficult to pass through.
However, I am not optimistic. Apart from the species in the Yellow Springs ecosystem, any other substances that enter it will be corroded, let alone fish for a long time.
Furthermore, the water in the underworld is not conductive, so it's impossible to replicate the electrofishing technique.
Thinking of this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If this could still succeed, Lu Yu would truly be a monster.
The three archaeologists breathed a sigh of relief. They had been intellectually outmatched for so long that they felt like idiots. Now it was up to them to overcome the challenge.
Finally, I have a chance to shine.
boom!
Suddenly, with a loud bang, a huge column of water shot into the sky, turning into rain from the underworld, falling down in a drizzling stream.
I thought electrofishing was the limit, but it turns out they can even use explosives to fish!
That's going too far!
However, while this move is very cool, isn't it risky of waking up the thing being suppressed?
Why...?
Luo Qingyue narrowed her eyes, somewhat puzzled by Lu Yu's actions.
Aren't you afraid of breaking the seal and releasing that terrifying creature?
Splash!
As Lu Yu gripped the spider silk fishing rod tightly, the entire Yellow Springs began to boil, and under everyone's gaze, he suddenly pulled upwards.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a huge black shadow emerged from the vortex. It was a giant yellowish-brown shark with a humanoid face, a single horn on its head, and a gaping maw full of sharp teeth. It was the evolved form of the Netherworld Fish, the Netherworld Horned Shark.
It was enormous, a full ten meters long, like a small mountain, and exuded an aura that was almost spiritually transformed. At this moment, it was extremely angry and bit down at Lu Yu.
Click!
With a flash of cold light, the savage expression of the Yellow Spring Nether Shark froze for a moment, then black lines appeared on its body, from which countless blood droplets seeped out. It was split in two and fell into the Yellow Spring, splashing up a column of water.
It was the little spider who made the move.
It pilots the ruined Gundam, wielding a blood-stained, bronze-colored gear-like greatsword, resembling a royal knight commander of an ancient empire.
Silently guarding the king!
Where the master is, all things are forbidden to roam!
Lu Yu, with his back to the crowd, remained motionless, quietly fishing, like a legendary hermit.
Aloof and indifferent.
However, in reality... Lu Yu looked at the water with a strange expression, watching the rats fighting wildly underwater, bullying the weak and throwing out the opponents they couldn't beat to the little spiders to deal with.
The little spider is very protective of its own, and the mouse clone is also family, so it won't allow anyone to bully it.
Clear division of labor!
"Is this a plan to lure out powerful creatures, defeat them one by one, and then proceed through the Underworld?"
Yue Mei pondered and said, and the others also thought it was very likely. Once successful, all they needed to do was guard against the Yellow Springs Water, and the safety factor for getting through it would be much higher.
Although it takes a bit of time, it's still a good method.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Yu continued fishing, one Yellow Springs pet beast after another being slain by the little spider, until...
A huge sphere was fished up.
Its appearance is that of a sphere formed by the accumulation and compression of a large number of jade-colored bones, exuding an ancient aura. It is surrounded by dark bones in the shape of wings, turning into a cage of bones.
The surface of the cage has been corroded by a large number of brass gears, causing a large number of bones to transform into mechanical parts, growing segments of gears that overlap and fit perfectly, as if these bones were born this way, giving it a sense of undead technology.
boom!
The moment it appeared, a terrifying aura swept over everyone like a storm. They couldn't help but back down, their souls trembling, feeling a terrifying sense of oppression, their expressions filled with shock.
I thought Lu Yu was just trying to eliminate the threat to make crossing the river easier, but he actually found the source of the strangeness in one fell swoop.
To suppress that mysterious life form...
They've all been caught!
This is as outrageous as a newbie player directly stabbing the Demon King... even if it's a female Demon King!
As expected, the angler can catch anything except fish.
"This...this..."
Even the Crimson Lotus of the Crimson Moon stammered, for the cage forged from the bones of angels had actually been fished up.
Akatsuki Yume thought it was only natural, but seeing her sister's reaction, she tilted her head, opened her mouth, and made a shocked face with a blank expression.
Because... the comic says that being more sociable makes you more likable.
Luo Qingyue was shocked and felt a strange sense of loss. Even a legendary investigator is afraid of a cheat-like assistant.
Only Yu Xiyan remained calm, even somewhat amused. In countless simulations, deviations would occur when Lu Yu was involved.
However, there is one exception: when you are an enemy of Lu Yu, you will directly feel his "absolute correctness," and that is true despair.
"Alright, that way we can leave it to the alliance to handle..."
Although Zhang Li was shocked, she was also somewhat pleasantly surprised. It was a good thing to be able to solve the problem at its source. However, before she could speak, she saw Lu Yu leap into the air and land directly on the sphere. The bone sphere trembled, causing the others to shudder as well.
He first stomped on it a few times, then squatted down and touched it for a while, making people hold their breath, afraid of disturbing Lu Yu. If they accidentally stepped on it too hard, it would definitely cause the thing inside to break out of the seal prematurely.
Be careful!
The three archaeologists who witnessed this scene nearly had a heart attack and were now hesitant to recruit Lu Yu into the archaeology department.
They dare to mess with ancient demons so casually now. If they really went inside, wouldn't they dare to awaken the forbidden beings?
At that point, not only the archaeology department, but the entire Human Alliance could be wiped out.
After fiddling around for a while, Lu Yu finally stopped. Just when everyone thought it was over, he said with satisfaction:
"Using this to navigate to the underworld should solve all the problems."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience was stunned.
This guy Lu Yu actually wants to use a high-ranking member of the family who has been suppressed as a boat.
More adventurous than rowing a boat without oars...
They're dancing right on Death's head!
Sorry, I'm having writer's block. I've been writing all day and I'm still not satisfied. I've deleted a lot of it. I was thinking of taking a break, but I thought I'd just post 4,000 words. I'll finish this part tomorrow.
