C2902 The So-called Devil
Jiang Ting stood three steps away from the lake. He looked around for a while, then raised his foot and approached.
Although he was not sure what was in the lake that made him feel danger and fear, he was not afraid. ... Wasn't the reason why he took the risk to enter the mountains this time to walk the path of cultivation?
However, he did not take the risk to enter the water.
After he lifted his foot, he stopped when he was one step away from the lake. Because he was two steps closer, his heart palpitated even more.
However, it was as if he knew nothing as he looked at the lake and began to size it up.
The water of the lake was relatively clear. Although it was not spotless and clear at the bottom, it allowed him to see the general situation of the lake.
There were a lot of water plants.
Other than that, there was nothing else... at least, there were no traces of other ferocious beasts' Demonic Beasts.
If there were ferocious beasts or Demonic Beasts, the lake would not be too big, and the water would be relatively clear. If there really were non-human beasts, he would definitely be able to see a black shadow... but the truth was, he did not see anything.
On the contrary, he saw some fish. They were very ordinary fish.
If they weren't non-humans, then the ones who would bring him danger were humans!
And if it was a human... Thinking of this, Jiang Ting's heart couldn't help but tighten. He knew that there was a high probability that he had really found that devil cultivator. Of course, it was also possible that it was a cultivator who was cultivating in seclusion under the lake.
No matter who it was, there was a clue.
Could it be that devil?
Jiang Ting slowly closed his eyes to think... but he suddenly realized that it was that devil's assurance. Actually, it wasn't that big.
After entering the mountain, he realized that he had completely underestimated the range of this huge mountain. In the eyes of mortals, only after entering the mountain did he realize that this huge mountain was boundless.
Even if he followed the direction that Jiangning had mentioned and entered the mountain, the probability of him finding the devil was not very high.
But for no reason... If it was someone else, they would not have targeted a mortal like him. The person who would have set his eyes on him was most likely that devil who was rumored to suck blood. ... If they really met that devil, they had to say, good luck!
"Could it be that devil...?" Jiang Ting muttered in his heart. Without any hesitation, he drew closer to the edge of the lake.
After that, he squatted down and began washing his face with his hands.
While he was washing his face, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if something was staring at him. However, there was no change in his expression.
Furthermore, he had already decided that if there was still no movement after washing his face, he would roast a rabbit by the lake and then swim in the lake to take a bath. If it really was that devil, he didn't believe that devil would be able to endure it!
Very quickly, Jiang Ting finished washing his face. Apart from his heart palpitating and feeling cold, there was nothing unusual about it.
"He's really patient." Although he was muttering in his heart, Jiang Ting did not reveal anything unusual. Instead, he turned around and held the iron sword, preparing to skin the rabbit and then wash it.
Just as he turned around, a suction force suddenly appeared. The suction force wasn't very strong... he had long since been prepared, so it was definitely impossible for him to suck him into the lake.
However...
"Ah..." Jiang Ting pretended to be unprepared. He fell into the lake, his face filled with panic.
In fact, he looked at the lake out of the corner of his eye. Under his panicked face and eyes, there was a terrifying calmness.
It was also because of this glance that he saw an entrance about five feet in size at the bottom of the lake from the corner of his eye. A stooped figure happened to be at the entrance.
Even though he could see through the lake, he could still see the bloodstains on that person's clothes... Devil, it was indeed that devil!
He actually found it!
That devil, at this moment, knew nothing.
After confirming it, in order to avoid any accidents, Jiang Ting didn't even look out of the corner of his eye. Instead, he revealed a look of panic.
With a bang, he fell into the water.
Jiang Ting deliberately struggled. "Help..."
After that, the suction force suddenly increased, and he sank into the water in an instant. He stopped breathing without hesitation, and from time to time, he would breathe out some water bubbles to avoid being seen through.
About four breaths of time.
Because he only exhaled and did not breathe, Jiang Ting's face turned slightly red. However, he finally sank to the bottom of the valley and fell down along the hole.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..." Jiang Ting pretended to cry out in pain, but in fact, his sword had been firmly held in his hand.
After two breaths, Jiang Ting got up and looked at the cave entrance. He pretended to be surprised.
This was a karst cave?
With his eyesight, it was not hard to tell that this karst cave had just been opened not long ago. There were traces of fresh soil and mountain rocks everywhere.
It was less than ten feet high.
The top of the karst cave was the bottom of the lake, and the person who pulled him in could also see his appearance clearly at this moment.
That person was wearing a black robe. ... Maybe the bad guys liked wearing black robes?
The black robe was tattered and there were countless traces of blood. Within the black robe was a thin and hunched body. His face was pale and bloodless, and he was as thin as firewood.
He looked like he didn't have much time left to live.
Jiang Ting trembled on the spot. "Are... are you a human or a ghost?"
"I am an immortal!" The black-robed man spoke in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Ting's eyes lit up. "So it's an immortal."
His emotions were unusually calm. The injuries of this black-robed man were even more severe than he had expected.
He could see that the black-robed man could not even stand properly. He could only lean against the edge of the karst cave to prevent himself from falling. Thinking about it, the black-robed man had forcefully pulled him down from the lake and used up all the Yuan Qi he had recovered in the past two days?
But even so, Jiang Ting did not rashly make a move. He was a mortal, and that black-robed man was a cultivator. How big was the difference between a cultivator and a mortal?
Even though the black-robed man looked like he was about to die, he did not dare to look down on him... It was not something a mortal like him could withstand!
Therefore, after Jiang Ting put on a show, he revealed a look of anticipation. "No... I didn't expect it to be an immortal. ... Immortal, can you... can you take a kid as your disciple?"
His words were stuttering, as if he was embarrassed.
"Of course I can." The black-robed man squeezed out a smile on his pale face.
He then waved his hand gently. "Come here."
"Yes, yes..."
Jiang Ting nodded quickly and said casually, "Immortal, you... you don't look too good. What's wrong?"
As he spoke, he was getting closer in order not to show any surprise.1
When the black-robed man heard this, a gloomy look appeared in his eyes.
However, he still suppressed the gloominess and spoke with hatred: "I met a devil not long ago, but it was hateful. He relied on treasures that were more valuable than mine and actually used talismans to break my treasures..."
It was really the devil that Jiangning had mentioned, the devil!
The black-robed man did not know what Jiang Ting was thinking. Instead, he pretended to be kind. "My time is almost up, but you have come. I think you and I are fated to meet. Even if you don't beg me, I will accept you as my disciple and pass down my mantle. "
