Chapter 1133 -691: Leeches

Mo Hua landed using Water Passing Step, his posture gentle, only his feet felt slightly numb.

After settling down, Mo Hua looked up and saw that the mist at the bottom of the well was not thick, but the blood-red color was even more uniform, slowly flowing at the bottom.

In the midst of the blood mist, it seemed like something was hatching.

A slight tremor went through Mo Hua’s heart.

He felt that he was somehow closer to some kind of origin.

“Young Master?”

Gu An and the other two softly inquired.

Once they reached the bottom of the well, breathlessness inexplicably overcame them, their hearts unsettled, thus they all turned to look at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua observed his surroundings for a moment, noticing at the base of the dried-up well was a stone-built corridor leading in all directions, its extent unknown.

Gu An and the others, not being able to see the bloody color, did not know which way to go.

Mo Hua nodded and said, “Follow me.”

Mo Hua chose a path and walked straight ahead.

Gu An walked slightly ahead, alongside Mo Hua, while Yu Dahe followed just behind Mo Hua, and Gu Quan was guarding the rear.

The three of them were subtly protecting Mo Hua.

Gu An and Gu Quan were instructed by Gu Changhuai to ensure Mo Hua’s complete safety.

Yu Dahe knew that the lives of his two young sons hinged on this Young Master, thus nothing must go wrong with him.

The corridor was dry and dark, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

After walking for a while, they suddenly came upon a pool of stagnant water, which seemed to have been dug out into a big pit, filled with water.

Mo Hua’s gaze slightly condensed.

He remembered his Little Tiger, who seemed to have fallen into the water, was attacked, and was instantly crushed to pieces.

Mo Hua released his Divine Sense, scanning for a moment, his gaze sinking.

“There is a Monster Beast in the water.”

The presence of this Monster Beast was elusive and powerful, because it was submerged in water, making it hard to detect.

Apparently, the mastermind behind the small fishing village had raised a Monster Beast and placed it in the water to block the way, to prevent discovery.

Gu An and Gu Quan looked at each other, their hearts slightly shocked.

The water was mixed, and with their Divine Senses, they had not noticed the Monster Beast hidden in the water.

Although he is a Formation Master, was Young Master Mo’s Divine Sense too sensitive?

He is only at Foundation Establishment Early Stage, right…

Yu Dahe timidly asked, “Young Master, can you tell what kind of Water Demon it is?”

Mo Hua shook his head.

Gu An pondered and said, “Should I go back and call for more people to come down and join forces to kill this Monster Beast?”

“No,” Mo Hua shook his head, “This Monster Beast is likely a Second Grade Late Stage Water Demon, too powerful in the water. Probably it would take at least seven or eight Cultivators proficient in water system skills, skilled in water nature, at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, to possibly hunt it down.”

Mo Hua deduced based on his experience as a Monster Hunter.

Gu An and Gu Quan frowned.

Seven or eight at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, the Gu Family could gather, but those proficient in water system skills, skilled in underwater combat was overly demanding.

Fish Cultivators in the small fishing village were skilled in water nature, but they were not skilled in combat, and none were at Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

“Also,” Mo Hua continued, “if we act here, forcibly killing this Water Demon will definitely cause a big commotion, very likely alerting the Crossing River Dragon, allowing them to escape.”

“Those two children might not be saved either…”

“Young Master, then what…” Yu Dahe looked at Mo Hua, his eyes pained, filled with hope.

Mo Hua sighed softly, “Let me think…”

He looked at the dangerous deep pool in front of him, his eyes reflecting his thoughts, and he couldn’t help but think of one issue.

How did Crossing River Dragon manage to get across?

Although Crossing River Dragon was skilled in water nature, he was only at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, definitely not a match for this Water Demon.

And being a Monster Beast, the Water Demon wouldn’t differentiate between friend or foe in its attacks.

Mo Hua recalled his encounter with Crossing River Dragon again, naturally thinking of those dead fish.

According to Yu Dahe, these fish were called “Dead Blotch Fish.”

Mo Hua then asked, “What are Dead Blotch Fish used for?”

Yu Dahe said, “This fish is poisonous. After death, it has gray blotches on its body, similar to ‘cadaveric spots’, so it’s called Dead Blotch Fish. Eating it causes blood stasis, bodily paralysis, just like a ‘corpsed’, unable to move…”

Mo Hua suddenly realized.

“So that’s how it is.”

Crossing River Dragon and his group used the “Dead Blotch Fish” to feed the Water Demon, preventing it from moving, then they crossed the river.

Mo Hua thought for a while, then had Gu An throw a Dead Blotch Fish into the water.

As soon as the Dead Blotch Fish hit the water, the water churned and a huge ugly head of the Water Demon appeared, swallowing the Dead Blotch Fish in one gulp.

Mo Hua’s pupils contracted.

Gu An and the others also looked terrified.

This Water Demon’s species was unknown, but it was huge, about the size of five or six men, its head malformed, its mouth gaping wide, and its Monster Blood thick. Its skin was covered in Scale Armor, virtually indestructible.

Its bulging eyes, black and yellow pupils, were cold and cruel.

This was a Second Grade Peak Water Demon, of unknown age.

After swallowing the Dead Blotch Fish, the Water Demon’s pupils scattered a bit and its body involuntarily paralyzed for a moment, but in just ten breaths, it was back to normal.

Mo Hua paused, then took a deep breath of cool air.

Feeding it the fish and paralyzing the Water Demon was not enough to safely cross.

This Water Demon’s Blood Qi was too dense.

Eating the Dead Blotch Fish could only paralyze it for ten breaths’ time; to cross the river, one must swim to the opposite shore within these ten breaths, otherwise, once it woke up, the Water Demon would still devour anyone trying to cross.

Gu An and the others clearly understood as well, their faces turning pale.

Mo Hua looked at Gu An and the others, not speaking, but his gaze carried a hint of inquiry. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Yu Dahe, with a determined face, gritted his teeth and said, “I am going to save my son, even if it means death, I have no complaints.”
