C359 Going Against the Current

Ever since Hsiang Yang met the giant crocodile, he no longer dared to look down on the other creatures in this underground world. This underground world could be said to be isolated from the rest of the world, and he himself had been developing for who knows how many years. Moreover, there were a lot of spiritual herbs and herbs, and the spiritual energy was abundant. It had developed for millions and millions of years. It was possible that a super powerful monster would appear at any time.

Not to mention those super powerful monsters, as long as a Golden Core Stage creature appeared, Hsiang Yang wouldn't be able to deal with it.

Although Hsiang Yang was conceited, he still didn't think that his' Indestructible Profound Arts ', which was at the first stage of the First Stage, could fight a Golden Core Stage Demon Beast.

Therefore, when he followed the Little Red Snake to search for treasures, he was very careful. He observed the situation ahead of him and confirmed that there wasn't any danger before proceeding forward, fearing that he might accidentally provoke some peerless Demon Beast.

The Little Red Snake seemed to have the same thought as Hsiang Yang. It didn't dare to act recklessly like before. Instead, it would act as if it was a thief. It would first check if there were any powerful Demon Beast.

"Roar!"

As the two of them moved forward, it seemed like they were going deeper into the underground world. The underground river was getting wider and wider, and more and more powerful Demon Beast appeared. Some of them were even stronger than the giant crocodile.

As the battle continued, Hsiang Yang had almost consolidated his strength after breaking through. He no longer had to worry about losing control of his strength because of the sudden increase in his strength.

"The higher the grade of the spiritual herbs, the more powerful their Demon Beast will be."

Hsiang Yang concluded that the underground world was truly a land of good fortune. Not to mention the fact that the spiritual energy would not disperse, as it was isolated from the outside world, it was unknown how many kilometers away it was from the outside world. It was not contaminated by the industrial pollution of the outside world, and the environment was quiet and serene. Apart from the lack of sunlight, it was actually a very good place.

"In the future, if I can't find a place to cultivate in seclusion, it's not bad to come to this underground world" Hsiang Yang muttered. He felt that this underground world was really a good place to cultivate in seclusion. Furthermore, if he offended some powerful expert, he would secretly hide in the underground world to cultivate. Perhaps those peerless experts didn't know that someone was hiding in their underground world.

Thinking of this, Hsiang Yang felt delighted in his heart. He felt that he had found a place that could save his life. In the future, he would need to come here and tidy it up. Perhaps, he could build a secluded cultivation mansion.

Next, Hsiang Yang and the Little Red Snake continued to sweep through the underground world. All the spiritual herbs that they saw were kept by Hsiang Yang. About three days later, they finally stopped.

When they were fighting with the thousand-year-old zombie king, all the communication items on Hsiang Yang's body exploded. He didn't know how long it had taken him to enter the underground world, but he estimated that he had almost finished his sweep here. The deeper he went, the stronger the Demon Beast became. Later on, there was even a huge python that was several hundred meters long. Hsiang Yang's strength was monstrous. When he saw it from afar, he was frightened and didn't dare to continue forward.

"It's time to go back. I have gained enough."

Hsiang Yang muttered. He touched the Storage Ring in his hand. He felt the spiritual herbs that occupied almost half of the spatial zone in the Storage Ring. He felt that he had gained enough. It was time to go back.

"I can't be insatiable. I'm the best. I didn't sweep away all the spiritual herbs after entering the treasure mountain." Hsiang Yang thought complacently in his heart.

"Little Red, you should know where we are going to go up there, right?"

Hsiang Yang grabbed the Little Red Snake and stared at it. He raised his head and looked at the rock layer that was countless of kilometers thick and heavy. There was no need to mention how depressed he was.

"The Little Red Snake kept shaking its head. Its eyes were filled with confusion. It had never appeared outside, so it naturally did not know how to go outside.

"Then how should I go up? Could it be that I will drill straight up from here? Should I open up a path and go up?" Hsiang Yang widened his eyes and looked up. He tried his best to extend his divine sense upwards. However, he found that the density of soil in the underground layer was too high. Even if his divine sense could not penetrate more than a thousand meters, it would not be able to go up again.

"This is really a huge project."

Hsiang Yang muttered. He felt that if he really dug all the way up, not to mention whether he had the ability to dig up, he was afraid that even if he could dig into the outside world, he would be old.

"There are two paths now. Either we go along the underground river, or the underground river directly leads to the ocean. However, this path is full of uncertainty and danger."

"The second path is to follow the source. Find the big hole in the underground world, and we will be able to return to the outside world."

Hsiang Yang calculated his way out, and finally patted the Little Red Snake's head. "It's decided then. We'll go against the current and explore the space above us. If we can find the big pit that I fell into, we will be able to get out."

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

The Little Red Snake felt dizzy after being slapped by Hsiang Yang. It stood up angrily and stared at Hsiang Yang. It kept sticking out its tongue at Hsiang Yang and glaring at him angrily. It looked extremely cute.

"Haha, little guy, let's go. I'll bring you to eat something delicious."

Hsiang Yang laughed. He took a step forward and appeared a few hundred meters away. The Little Red Snake quickly chased after him and wrapped itself around Hsiang Yang's neck.

Hsiang Yang and the Little Red Snake followed the underground river and went upstream. As they moved closer and closer to the source, they found that the river bank that they could walk on was getting smaller and smaller, and the space was getting narrower and narrower. In the end, there was only one turbulent underground river that was flowing. There was no place for them to stand anymore.

"Let's go all out."

Hsiang Yang gritted his teeth. He circulated the Profound Arts and jumped into the underground river. He turned his body into a sword and became one with the sword. He unleashed the Sword Controlling Arts and quickly passed through the water.

"I hope I don't encounter any monsters in the water."

Hsiang Yang muttered to himself. He felt that it was unlikely that he would bump into any monsters. After all, he should have followed the underground river after falling into the big pit. During that process, he had fainted. If there was a monster... He would have been eaten clean long ago. How could he still be rushed into the underground karst cave?

"I wonder if there are any water-attribute licorice roots growing in the water. Why don't we go down and take a look?" Brave Surge was truly bored as he hurried along, so aside from using his Divine Sense to observe whether there was a familiar large pit above him, Hsiang Yang's thoughts ran wild. He might as well take the Little Red Snake and dive into the water.

"* Hiss... * As soon as they entered the depths of the water, the Little Red Snake seemed to come alive. In an instant, it broke free from Hsiang Yang's neck. Apart from Hsiang Yang's Protective Dipper Energy, it happily escaped into the distance.

The Little Red Snake was a creature that lived in water, and its speed in the water was much faster than flying in the air. Even Hsiang Yang felt that he couldn't catch up to it. He hurriedly shouted. “ Don't get washed away by the water later!"

"Hissss!"

The Little Red Snake that had disappeared in front of him returned. It stood in front of Hsiang Yang and hissed.

"You want me to follow you?" Hsiang Yang asked.

"Hissss!"

The Little Red Snake kept nodding its head, then it rushed forward. Seeing that the Little Red Snake was about to disappear again, Hsiang Yang hurriedly chased after it. Not long after, the Little Red Snake stopped and looked ahead vigilantly. When it saw Hsiang Yang approaching, it rushed into Hsiang Yang's protective qi barrier and wrapped around his neck. Its head kept moving forward.

After spending the past few days together, Hsiang Yang had become somewhat familiar with the 'snake language' of the Little Red Snake. He knew that the little guy wanted him to continue moving forward, so he followed the direction pointed by the Little Red Snake and flew forward.

"Awoo!"

After advancing for a few thousand meters, a monstrous roar was heard from the front, followed by a powerful stream of water that pushed Hsiang Yang, who was originally going against the current, downstream.

"What a good guy!"

Hsiang Yang looked forward and was not surprised. Instead, he was delighted, "It's a spiritual fish, and it's the legendary 'Arowana' that could transform into a real dragon."

What appeared in front of Hsiang Yang was a golden fish the size of an elephant. Its entire body was emitting a golden light. A powerful aura was emitted from the fish's body. This wasn't an ordinary aura. Instead, it was an ordinary Qi. It carried a special pressure and was incredibly powerful, as if nothing in the world was worthy of its attention. This was the legendary Draconic Aura.

In ancient times, carp could jump through the dragon gate. However, not all carp could jump through the dragon gate. Only carp with the legendary Divine Dragon bloodline could jump through the dragon gate. They were called 'Arowana'. The meat was delicious and contained strong spiritual energy. It was one of the rare carnivorous' spiritual herbs'.

Hsiang Yang had read countless ancient books. He originally thought that the Arowana only appeared in legends. Now that he saw this Arowana, he realized that many of the ancient legends he had read in the Compendium Pavilion when he was young were actually true.

"Ao!"

There were two small bumps on the head of this dragon language, and two long whiskers on its chin. However, it flickered with a sharp light. Obviously, it was not just for decoration. If it hit a person's body, it would definitely be sharper than a knife.

Its aura was very powerful. Its eyes were emitting a ferocious light as it rushed towards Hsiang Yang. Its mouth was wide open from afar, wanting to swallow Hsiang Yang and the Little Red Snake.

"So fierce! You want to eat me? I want to eat you too! This way, I won't have any psychological burdens anymore. " Hsiang Yang laughed loudly and pointed his finger out. The Taia Sword turned into a sword light and flew away. It directly entered the mouth of the Arowana and drilled out from its neck.

"Hiss!"

This Arowana was only an Innate Stage Spirit Beast, and its cultivation base wasn't very strong. It was roughly equivalent to a mid to late Xiantian expert. To Hsiang Yang, it was nothing. He simply killed it with a single slash.

"It's a pity that it's too big. I can only cut off a piece of it and put it into the Storage Ring. The rest of it will be wasted."

Hsiang Yang felt pity in his heart. This was the first time he felt that the Storage Ring was too small. After being occupied by the spiritual herbs, he couldn't fit an entire Arowana into the Storage Ring.

"Chi!"

Just as Hsiang Yang was about to use the Sword Controlling Arts to cut off a piece of the Arowana and place it into the Storage Ring, the Little Red Snake hanging on his neck suddenly shot out. It instantly appeared in front of the gigantic Arowana, casting some kind of spell. Its mouth was wide open, as if it had the ability to devour the heaven and earth. In an instant, it swallowed the Arowana that was the size of an elephant, then shook its head a few times. He twisted his body proudly and returned to Hsiang Yang's neck in satisfaction.2

"I..."

Hsiang Yang was shocked at first, but then he became furious. He grabbed the Little Red Snake that was hanging on his neck after snatching his food. He cursed angrily, "You bastard! How dare you snatch my food! You should at least leave me a small piece! I finally met a legendary Arowana that can jump through the dragon gate, but you swallowed it in one bite! Spit it out! "

While saying that, Hsiang Yang kept shaking the tail of the Arowana, trying to make it spit it out. However, the Little Red Snake's mouth was tightly shut, and even its eyes were shut. It didn't pay any attention to Hsiang Yang.

"You robber."

Hsiang Yang was so angry that he almost cried. That was an Arowana! The legendary Arowana that had the bloodline of a True Dragon, if its cultivation base was high enough... He would be able to jump through the dragon gate like a carp and become an existence of the Divine Dragon. At least let me have a taste of it, you... Special... Mother. He actually swallowed it in one bite.
