C1190 Profound Nightmare Pearl
Just as the two of them fell into the water, the vines behind them caught up.
As if knowing where they were, they arrived at the vines above the pool and attacked without hesitation, leaving behind some remnants of the wave.
Sizzle sizzle. Sssii...
However, just as these vines were about to bury into the water, there was suddenly a commotion below, and countless amounts of water had soaked them up. In an instant, the vines seemed to have met with something they were extremely afraid of, and actually exploded into retreat a distance, and at the place that was previously touched by the water, strange green smoke continued to emit as if they were being corroded, and their originally large and strong bodies began to shrink at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
In the end, the frightened vines quickly retreated.
"It seems like everything is fine now."
Through the surface of the water, he could see that everything above had calmed down. Ling Yunfan, who was hiding underground, took a glance and brought along his trouble in the lake. Seeing the other party nod his head, indicating for them to be safe, he felt at ease and left this icy cold place.
In this special environment of the Emperor Profound Realm, not only could it weaken the battle strength of foreign creatures, the circulation of Origin Energy was blocked, and in fact, it also had the effect of weakening the physical quality. This was also the reason why he would feel cold in this low temperature lake, and as for the zombie beside him, it was an exception.
Ordinary feelings of pain would not affect him at all.
"After so many years, I thought you had died." Returning to the shore, he confirmed that the vines before did not continue attacking. Lingyun was very dissatisfied with this fellow for causing him so much trouble, but he could not help but ask curiously: "Tell me, what exactly are those things? Why are you afraid of a zombie like yourself?"
It was only now that he noticed that fellow's cultivation had actually reached that of a Half Martial Emperor. Furthermore, that boundless Origin Energy fluctuation was far more powerful than that of ordinary Half Martial Emperors. It was likely that his battle power had already reached the peak.
"The ancient texts say that it's a Demonic Vine. It's a demonic plant that grows in Emperor Profound Star. Not only does it have the poison that can exterminate Half Martial Emperors, it also has the ability to invisibly draw life force away."
After changing into a set of dry clothes, he flipped through the memories in his mind and quickly responded. Seeing that the aura the other party was exuding wasn't much weaker than his, a hint of shock flashed across his silver eyes.
It was obvious that he was the same as Ling Yunfan, and was shocked by the strength of the other party.
Logically speaking, whether it was aura or source energy fluctuations, Ling Yun could not compare to the latter. However, Hu Yi knew the background of the man in front of her, and naturally did not feel that if they fought, she could win easily. In fact, she even had the feeling that she might not be able to win against the man in front of her.
"Although I have a Spiritual Corpse's body, I am still afraid of that poison."
Then, he explained why he was afraid of the Demonic Vine. He looked at him curiously, "This is not a place for the living. Even if you like to wander around, you shouldn't need this place, right?"
Although they could not be considered friends, the culprit still knew Lingyun quite well. The two of them could be said to be enemies and friends, competing against each other.
Hearing this, Ling Yun Fan looked deeply at the other person, and shrugged his shoulders with a slightly helpless expression: "You think I want to come? I was entrusted by someone to come and investigate some matters."
"I've long heard that this lousy place is filled with dangers. Who knew that I would run into you and that annoying Demonic Vine?"
After he finished complaining with a face full of displeasure, Lingyun did not intend to stay for long. Afraid that something would happen to him, he suppressed his aura and quickly left.
This swamp was indeed very spacious. After walking for a while, Lingyun also arrived at a location filled with mud, which was probably the central region.
"How long are you going to follow?"
Lingyun, who was still exploring just a moment ago, suddenly stopped and slightly frowned. Without hesitation, he threw the fruit in his hand that was emitting a blue glow behind him. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuu ~ ~ ~"
"Yo, don't be so heartless."
The fruit that was sent flying was quickly caught by a large hand. Then, a man wearing a dark grey robe immediately appeared in the empty space.
If this person was not someone who had tricked Ling Yunfan, then who else could it be?
"Seeing your cold face, laozi is annoyed."
Meeting an old friend is indeed a good thing, but right now, there are still important matters that Ling Yunfan does not intend to bring anyone else to take action, to avoid future misfortunes. However, the culprit's cold attitude towards him was completely ignored, and he spoke with a face that said: "I am about to advance to the Emperor Realm. I wanted to say that I have come here to find something called the Profound Realm's Nightmare Orb, but met with a lot of trouble."
"Before I arrived at this Emperor Profound Star, there was already a majority of those from the Royal Family guarding it. I hope you can help me."
His expression was extremely serious, and his words did not contain the slightest hint of a joke, but they did not contain the intention to plead for help. Generally speaking, this kind of attitude would not succeed even if someone helped him, but Ling Yunfan nodded his head: "Alright, after all that I've said, you also saved me all those years ago, so I'll help you."2
"At least you know how to be grateful."
Upon hearing this, the devilish lips of the calamity fiend curled up in a satisfied smile. Under Ling Yunfan's request, they first narrated the shape and characteristics of the so-called Profound Destroying Orb, and then shared all the information regarding the Unique King race that resided in this place.
As for what exactly it was that was still unknown, there was naturally some bad news. That was, the lineup of the different king level experts that had come to this place was very likely to be not only four Emperor Realms, but also fifteen top-tier Half Martial Emperors. It was very likely that there would be even more of them, and according to what the culprit had told him, he would be able to do so already.
They had met five Emperors. Furthermore, the people behind every single one of them were either Half Martial Emperors or Half Martial Emperors.
"This way, the difficulty of the mission is quite high."
Thinking about how Lingyun had actually sent out so many forces, Lingyun's face sank. He suddenly regretted accepting the investigation mission.
"Forget it, I'll just take things one step at a time." Then, he shook his head violently, dismissed the distracting thoughts and asked with the same calm expression: "So, do you have a clue about that Profound Destroying Nightmare Pearl that contains all the attribute energy and the heaven defying recovery power in this world?"
He would not be able to find them anyway. The location he was in was a dangerous place, so he might as well stay with them for the time being. Even though it would be annoying at times, he could still help them out at crucial moments.
However, just as he finished his words, his eyes turned serious. Almost at the same time, both Shi Xiaobai and Yi were on guard.
