BXBX NOVEL Chapter 970 Throw Bait
Chapter 970 Throw Bait
Lin Xun cautiously navigated into the high altitude and spread his spirit sense across in all directions.
Then, he began to remove corpses from the storage ring.
First, he threw the pangolin corpse into the calm lake. With a splash, the body broke the surface and silver ripples widened out.
A powerful figure commented in the dark, “This kid is quite smart. He knows how to use the flesh and blood of starry sky beasts as bait to capture the attention of the ferocious dragon turtle beast.”
“I have seen that pangolin beast before. It's extremely violent and savage. Ordinary Cyclic Derivation experts are no match for it at all. I can’t believe that kid can kill it!”
“This is the reason why the kid is so confident, but unfortunately, he is still too young and inexperienced to know that the dragon turtle beast at the bottom of the lake is beyond terrifying.”
There was a clamor of discussion.
Although Lin Xun’s performance surprised them, they still believed that Lin Xun wouldn’t survive.
“Hey, that kid is quite capable. He even hunted down a silver-white tarantula beast, which is also a powerful starry sky beast!”
Soon, everyone was amazed to see Lin Xun take out a silver tarantula corpse of over ten feet tall and toss it into the lake.
“I have seen that tarantula before. It has killed many powerful experts. It is extremely bloodthirsty and abnormally strong. Even a top Cyclic Derivation cultivator would choose to avoid facing that monster!”
“Could the kid be an official disciple from a certain powerful clan?”
Many experts started to look at Lin Xun differently, realizing that he might be a genius figure of the younger generation.
Inadvertently, they curbed their disdain and contempt.
Someone asked in bewilderment, “It doesn’t look right. Two corpses have already been thrown into the lake. Based on what happened before, the dragon turtle beast at the bottom of the lake should have been alerted and showed up long ago. Why is there still not any movement in the lake?”
The other experts also found the situation strange, their expressions morphing indefinitely.
“Could it be that there is not enough bait?” Lin Xun was equally as puzzled. Hovering high in the sky, he pondered for a moment before he resumed throwing in corpses.
Meanwhile, the spectators, whether it was half-step kings dispersed across the nearby islands and reefs or the great cultivators of the Cyclic Derivation Stage, all dropped their jaws and gasped.
Starry sky beast tiger mastiff!
Starry sky beast mountain rhino!
Starry sky beast silver-armored mantis!
……
One after another, vicious starry sky beasts were tossed from the young man’s hands like garbage.
The lake water began to churn, becoming more and more violent with silver waves bubbling and hissing. The scene was magnificent and beautiful in a way.
But in the eyes of the cultivators, the scene had a unique impact. Almost all of them were stupefied.
“Isn’t... Isn’t that too abnormal? There are more than a dozen starry sky beast corpses! Did he really kill them all by himself?”
“Heavens! That young master is clearly a tough character. Even the peerless geniuses in the younger generation are not as fierce as him!”
“Damn it, we misjudged him!”
The experts hiding in the dark grew restless.
Previously, they had been scornful of Lin Xun and believed that his actions were no different from seeking death. They all thought that he was too inexperienced and reckless.
But now, they felt a burning sensation in their cheeks, as if they had been slapped hard in the face. They realized that they had misjudged Lin Xun.
He was neither inexperienced nor reckless, but a fierce dragon showing off his powers!
When Lin Xun pulled out a thousand-foot-long viper, even the eyes of the half-step kings almost popped out of their sockets as they fought to keep calm.
They knew that the viper was no doubt a ruthless character among the starry sky beasts. Once it was infuriated, the wind would rage and the clouds would scud across the sky. Its strength was absolutely not less than that of a half-step king!
But now…
It had been reduced to a corpse. They had no idea of how it was beaten to death, but its thousand-foot-long body was riddled with cracks and hideous scars.
Then, the body of the viper, which possessed the strength of the half-step king stage, was also thrown into the lake like garbage.
The scene chilled the half-step kings to the marrow. They shuddered. If the viper was also killed by that young man, then doesn’t that mean that he is strong enough to kill cultivators of a higher cultivation level than him?
“He has to be a little monster from an ancient sect with the talent and aptitude of a peerless genius. Otherwise, he can’t possibly be so strong!” A half-step king was flustered.
It struck everyone hiding in the dark that the young man who was acting alone was not as ordinary as they had thought.
“Be ready! With the young man restraining the dragon turtle beast at the bottom of the lake, our chance of getting our hands on the Star Debris Meteorite has greatly increased!” exclaimed someone with excitement, realizing that this was a fantastic opportunity.
Everyone’s heart pounded.
Yes, that young man is incredibly strong, so if he restrains the dragon turtle beast, he would create a perfect opportunity for us to seize the treasure!
“Young man, do a good job!” Some people couldn’t help cheering for Lin Xun. Of course, they did so in their hearts. They didn’t dare to risk causing an accident.
But to everyone’s surprise, what happened next was too unbelievable.
After Lin Xun threw out a dozen of starry sky beast corpses, the silver lake returned to its tranquil state after a series of silver waves lifted into the air.
From the beginning to the end, the figure of the dragon turtle beast was nowhere to be seen!
“Why…”
Even Lin Xun was taken aback. Why is it not working?
What’s going on?
In the dark, the cultivators were just as perplexed. It could only suggest that some kind of change might have happened below the silver lake surface.
“Could it be that the dragon turtle beast at the bottom of the lake sensed the strength of the young man and was too scared to show up?” Someone made a joke, but it drew many glares.
What is the situation now? How can you still joke around?
Regardless of how fierce that young man is, is he fiercer than the dragon turtle beast?
The dragon turtle had devoured more than one half-step king!
A deep frown creased Lin Xun’s brows as he contemplated for a long moment. “It seems like I have to venture into the bottom of the lake to find out.” He finally made a decision.
The silver lake was very mysterious. It could block off spirit sense and prevent outsiders from peeking into it.
This was also the reason why Lin Xun was reluctant to enter the lake.
But now, he had used up all the bait yet the dragon turtle beast still had not been lured out. He had no choice but to resort to this.
Shua!
Clenching his teeth, he dove into the silver lake. As soon as he touched the water, he summoned the Nameless Pagoda and used its brilliant golden light to protect his body.
This place was known to be very dangerous, so Lin Xun dared not let down his guard for a second.
Meanwhile, the cultivators around the lake were in shock. They never thought that the young man would be so brave as to dive directly into the lake!
The bottom of the lake was the territory of the dragon turtle beast! Was he not worried about being eaten?
“When did such a wild unrivaled figure appear in the East Victory World?” someone murmured in a trance-like state.
“Unfortunately for the young man, he is doomed. But he also made us lose the opportunity to seize the treasure,” someone lamented.
In the forbidden array, Xiaohe couldn’t help asking, “Big Sister Le, will Big Brother Lin Xun be okay?”
“Of course.”
Even if Miss Le was burning with worry, she put on a smile and said, “Your Big Brother Lin Xun is an extraordinary person. The world calls him a demon god, and he has stirred up countless storms in the West Infinity World. Isn’t he powerful?”
Xiaohe’s face was alight with amazement. “Impressive! I wonder if I can be like Big Brother Lin Xun in the future and make the world remember my name.”
Miss Le smiled. “As long as you want to, you can do it! However, it’s better to not set your Big Brother Lin Xun as your goal.”
“Why?”
“Because…it will be very difficult...to follow his footsteps,” Miss Le answered seriously after thinking about it for a long time.
“How difficult?”
“When you achieve what he has on the path of the great dao, you will understand.” Miss Le sighed inwardly after that.
She knew very well that among the younger generation in this world, only a handful of people could catch up with Lin Xun.
And how many can truly compete with him on the path of the great dao?
Even she didn’t know and could not predict what would happen.
……
In the bottom of the silver lake.
“Eat, eat, eat, all you know is how to eat! A disaster is hanging over us, and you are still eating! Are not afraid of being stuffed to death!” A giant silvery white bear was exasperated, slapping a tremendous creature beside its palm-leaf-sized hand.
It was an unusual beast that looked like an old turtle but had a dragon’s head. Its body stretched over hundreds of feet and its eyes alone were as huge as millstones.
It sat there like an immovable mountain, its body producing an icy sheen from the dark scales that covered its body. It was chewing delightfully on a silver tarantula, flesh and blood trapped between its long and narrow sword-like teeth.
The giant silver-white bear’s slap rebounded with a sharp clang as it hit the scales, creating sparks. But it seemed to be only tickling it. It could not distract it from the delicious food.
The giant bear flew into a rage, wanting to strangle the greedy idiot.
“Do you not see that all you are eating is the bait dropped by that kid?! He is just waiting to kill you stupid thing!” the giant bear roared.
Finally, the dragon turtle opened its mouth lazily and said leisurely, “What are you afraid of? He came just at the right time. I can just eat him then.”
He continued to eat the food with relish. This time it was the tiger mastiff.
The bear was so angry that smoke rose from its seven orifices and it kicked the tiger mastiff's body away. “I told you, he is different from everyone else!“ He glowered at the dragon turtle.
“What’s the difference?” The dragon turtle snapped after seeing its food knocked out of its hand. It quickly extended its mouth and retrieved it.
“He has the aura of that old madman!”
The dragon turtle froze with fright just as it swallowed food into its mouth and almost choked.
