Chapter 36 Big Fat Shrimp
AT THE BANK of the Hundred Deaths Gorge River, Yang Lujia and his second disciple, Long Guang, were staring at the waters expectantly. Although Long Guang felt something strange from beneath the river, he didn’t mind it.
Even though he had the mind of a months-old child, his cultivation far surpassed that of his peers. With this, he perfectly knew that his master was extremely powerful. No other cultivator could defeat his master. From what he had seen all those times he was with his master, the latter could basically defeat someone with just a glance.
Therefore, he wasn’t afraid of anything coming out of the waters before them.
On the other hand, Yang Lujia’s eyes were shining silver. His heart thumped as though it was going to escape from his chest. Later, he licked his lips as he stared deep into this river between two mountain peaks.
Almost every cultivator in Da Sishen avoided the Hundred Deaths Gorge River. No one dared to come near the river. Even though the God Emperors were not afraid and would still come to this place, the river could still give them terror..
There was a living legend that was spread throughout the entire realm, especially in their Eastern Territory. People said there was a terrifying monster within the river that had reached the realm of a Half-Step Saint. It was only a matter of time before it was recognized as a Saint.
Despite its cultivation level, however, its combat prowess far surpassed that of its actual cultivation, rivalling an actual Saint’s ability.
Around the gorge, various types of beasts were lurking. They were wild beasts born from heaven and earth; some, if not most, were born from a mother beast and a father beast.
This gorge might seem simple in the eyes of someone like Yang Lujia, but there were tons of people who had already died within the gorge. The entire Eastern Territory was in a panic at the time, when the trend of people dying one after the other in the same place seemed to be escalating rather than decreasing.
Experts like God Emperors tended to visit the gorge but always ended up gaining nothing. Some of them were even injured and hid in seclusion for several years for recuperation.
On the other side, Yang Lujia’s first disciple, Lin Diyu, kept himself busy seeking out beasts to hunt in order to accelerate his cultivation. Apparently, his master gave him this chance to do well. So, he must do well!
‘Oh, fuck!’ he cussed in his mind as soon as he saw a gigantic yellow tiger. His eyes widened as if he could hear his heart beating wildly. ‘Where did this tiger come from?!’
When the enormous yellow tiger landed its gaze on Lin Diyu, its eyes looked blank. There was no murderous intent. Instead, it ignored the latter and strode in the opposite direction.
Lin Diyu tapped his chest in relief. He was bewildered, though. Beasts should be violent towards cultivators like him. After all, most people liked to hunt these beasts to make money. It was simply a humiliation for these creatures.
“Maybe I’m just lucky. Wooh, I finally felt what it meant to be almost killed,” he muttered as he continued to walk forward. “That tiger should be in the God King Realm. Its aura was so strong. Master told me to find beasts a realm or two lower than my actual cultivation. Since I’m already at the Sixth Stage of the Void God Realm, I shall only fight beasts at the Fifth Stage or Fourth Stage if I want to accelerate my cultivation level.”
However, oblivious to Lin Diyu was the smooth layer of transparent aura that protected him from getting detected by beasts. Yang Lujia made this assassination-type aura to hide Yang Lujia from dangerous beasts. It would automatically adjust to how strong the beast Lin Diyu would encounter was.
That tiger was actually a God Emperor. It noticed a change in the fluctuation in Lin Diyu’s direction. Because that slight disturbance disappeared, the yellow tiger ignored this and instead went in the opposite direction. It only wanted to eat cultivators.
Preparing himself for a fishing session, Yang Lujia found a wooden chair from Fortuniel’s storage space. He placed it beside the river, putting his Divine Fishing Rod beside the chair.
He recalled that he still had something to do that was important. He had already peed the Devouring Void Dog Egg four times on this day.
So, he only needed to urinate once more. While he would wait to fish food from the river, he would also wait for the egg to crack. Putting Long Guang down beside the chair, Yang Lujia faced the opposite direction of the former.
It left Long Guang bewildered. However, soon, when he stared at the river, his attention drifted away from his master.
Due to his excitement, Yang Lujia did not mind whether he would be watched or not. Anyhow, who would peek at their little brother, anyway? His pee slid down the air to the egg after he let go of his cautiousness. Closing his eyes, he felt good in spite of this gorge filled with death rules.
His eyes widened as he saw Long Guang standing in front of him, eyes sparkling. “Big! Big! Master litol bwader! Big!”
Yang Lujia hurriedly tucked his little brother beneath his pants. He grimly looked at his second disciple. This little guy actually saw his… “Long Guang, what you saw was just a fat shrimp. It’s not the master’s little brother, okay?”
Long Guang was left in a daze after hearing his master’s explanation. His round eyes then flashed with curiosity. “Cook eat big pat shwimp Long Guang?” His small index finger pointed at Yang Lujia’s crotch.
