Jade Dragon Pool
On the river, the constant hunting of spirit fish made the river water appear even more turbulent.
At this moment, Ye Jingcheng also saw two Red-Node Fish leaping up from the river surface, indicating that Ye Xingliu had encircled quite a few Red-Node Fish with his Array.
However, neither Ye Haiyi nor Ye Jingyu took out Law Artifact; the former began to form hand seals, while the latter took out a water escape talisman.
Enveloped in spiritual light, Ye Haiyi was the first to sink to the bottom of the river, followed by Ye Jingyu. Ye Jingcheng immediately began to form hand seals, his gaze fixed on the depths of the river.
At this moment, he was somewhat shocked. Going down into the river was obviously not for the Red Spirit Fish; it was most likely to reach Jade Dragon Pool through this river. This was naturally incredibly exciting for Ye Jingcheng.
He was somewhat unsure of Ye Haiyi's confidence, considering that Lizard Elder and the Hanging-Eyed Tiger were healing their wounds on either side of the riverbank.
Ye Xingliu was also giving instructions.
"Go down to the river!" The spirit jade in Ye Jingcheng's hand began to glow, and Ye Jingcheng nodded upon seeing this.
He activated his Water Escape Technique and descended to the bottom of the river.
Unlike the river's surface, which appeared bluish-white, the riverbed was somewhat murky. When he came down, he only saw a bluish-green turtle shell gradually enlarging until it covered all three of them.
The tortoise shell was covered with countless Spirit Patterns, which were engraved in extremely fine detail. As the Spirit Patterns Spiritual Qi was activated, the tortoise shell Law Artifact began to become transparent, just like a transparent spiritual tortoise shell.
Their auras also faded, indicating that the tortoise shell Law Artifact had a similar effect to the magic array outside.
"Put on this Spirit-Isolating Robe, and remember everyone to follow my instructions. Even if we gain nothing this time, don't move unless I say so. Also, don't use the tortoise shell magic Law Artifact!" Ye Haiyi frowned, his expression unusually serious.
Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu both nodded.
The Mystic Turtle Law Artifact also began to emit faint Spirit Patterns, which, like the flow of a river, gradually moved towards the river.
Along the way, Ye Jingcheng saw many Red-Node Fish heading downstream. Strangely, those Red-Node Fish seemed unable to see the three people and the tortoise shell. There were even spirit fish passing through the tortoise shell Law Artifact without being able to see the three people.
This greatly surprised Ye Jingcheng, who was also curious about the grade of this treasure.
Besides, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt that Ye Haiyi's figure seemed to have grown much taller, and Ye Jingcheng began to not understand his cultivation level.
"For the rest of the journey, do not use your Divine Sense. Look carefully and listen attentively. If there is anything unusual, speak through the jade talisman!" Ye Haiyi's words appeared again within the jade talisman.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng and Ye Jingyu were both startled.
And indeed, faint sounds of fighting could be heard from both sides of the river, along with the sound of running.
Although the river was swift, the cultivators' senses and perception were far superior to those of ordinary people.
All three of them confirmed this without a doubt.
This scene made Ye Jingcheng nervous. They had been walking along the river for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the distance they had traveled was estimated to be more than twenty miles.
The sounds of fighting can still be heard, so it's unlikely to be Rogue Cultivator. They are most likely cultivators from the other three major Lineage, or even cultivators from the Taiyi Sect.
Ye Jingcheng was somewhat afraid, wondering if there might be cultivators also swimming upstream from the bottom of the river.
At this moment, he could only look at Ye Haiyi, who remained extremely calm and composed, standing before him like a towering mountain!
Ye Jingcheng felt much more at ease.
The tortoise-shell Law Artifact moved forward very quickly, and soon the river began to widen.
There are more Red-Node Fish now, and some snakes and pythons can also be seen.
These spirit snakes include both first-tier and second-tier spirit snakes, but compared to the number of Red-Node Fish, they are extremely rare.
Moreover, these spirit snakes were indeed chasing the Red-Node Fish, trying to drive them upstream, but the number of spirit snakes was still much smaller than the number of Red-Node Fish.
They chased this group away, and the others began to escape.
They herded a few of them, and those few started to escape.
One of the spirit snakes, in a fit of rage, lunged forward and swallowed several Red Spirit Fish whole.
Countless bubbles were produced.
Ye Haiyi also witnessed this scene, and his gaze softened, as if this was good news.
The three of them held their breath, listening intently to everything around them; they were not far from Jade Dragon Pool.
At that moment, Ye Haiyi took out a small, thin, blue spirit snake from his Spirit Beast pouch.
Ye Jingcheng recognized this snake; it was recorded in his Lineage's Jade Slip and was called the Blue-Tailed Snake. This kind of spirit snake was extremely timid, but had an extremely strong sensitivity to cultivators and Spirit Beast.
The Blue-Tailed Snake looked ahead, flicking its tongue; its vertical pupils suggested a hint of timidity.
But they didn't turn around and run away.
This means there is no aura of the Purple Mansion demon in the vicinity.
At this moment, the tortoise shell Law Artifact also stopped, and Ye Jingcheng suddenly noticed that the Beast-Link Mark on Ye Haiyi's left hand was constantly lighting up.
Clearly, this tortoise shell Law Artifact is not a first-tier Law Artifact, so Ye Haiyi cannot use it. The only way he can use it is by activating the True Essence transmitted through the Beast-Link Mark.
This scene made Ye Jingcheng somewhat realize something.
Ye Haiyi released another Red-Node Fish, but this Red-Node Fish was wrapped with a jade belt, and on the jade belt was a faint spiritual light.
Ye Haiyi also took out another ring of Snake-Ape Grass powder and sprinkled it directly on the surface of the Red-Node Fish.
It was then released from its shell.
The Red-Node Fish transformed into a streak of light and once again headed downstream.
The Spirit Talisman was a water-based talisman, which nearly doubled the speed of the Red-Node Fish. The spirit snakes and pythons also turned red-eyed and chased after it towards the bottom of the river.
The tortoise shell stopped in the mud at the bottom of the river, and Ye Jingcheng also saw countless spirit snakes and pythons flying by!
The quantity in this batch is less than the batch Ye Jingcheng had downstream!
However, the quality of the Spirit Beast had improved considerably, and Ye Jingcheng even spotted a late-stage second-tier Jade-Scale Snake, which he chased downstream!
This Jade-Scale Snake is a size larger than the previous one.
This made Ye Jingcheng realize the incredible power of the tortoise shell Law Artifact. At the same time, he was also worried about whether Ye Xingliu, the Lizard Elder, and the Hanging-Eyed Tiger downstream could defeat the Jade-Scale Snake.
Ye Haiyi still didn't move. He took out the Blue-Tailed Snake again and made it look ahead!
At this moment, the Blue-Tailed Snake's eyes burned with intensity, showing absolutely no fear.
However, it was also affected by the Snake-Ape Grass, and looked towards the downstream of the river.
The tortoise shell Law Artifact began to move again. Ye Jingcheng noticed that Ye Haiyi's hand was on the Spirit Beast pouch, as if he had encountered danger and was ready to take out Spirit Beast pouch at any moment.
Ye Jingcheng was also somewhat curious about what kind of second-tier Spirit Beast the Lineage was showcasing this time!
The Law Artifact continued forward!
Soon, we arrived at the river mouth.
The water in front of us had turned a deep blue-green color at some point, and it was now brimming with Spiritual Qi!
Ye Jingcheng also saw that there were many Red-Node Fish swimming in groups inside!
The bait used to attract Red-Node Fish has clearly become ineffective.
The Jade Dragon Pool then came into view before the three of them.
