Chapter 745 - Deadly Land of Coral

Chapter 745: Deadly Land of Coral

All the Half-Mermen were shocked by what Han Fei did.

Even Yu Ji didn't see it coming that Han Fei would stab Yu Yue with a harpoon when the air of the expert still lingered.

Han Fei, who had ran back to her, glared at Yu Yue and said, "I… Am not stupid!"

Everybody was stunned by his declaration.

The Half-Mermen were still shocked. "What's wrong with his world?"

Yu Yue vomited blood and jumped, ready to kill Han Fei, but he was blocked by Yu Ji.

Yu Yue roared, "Get out of my way and let me kill this Azure Sea Blue Demon."

Yu Ji's eyes were cold. "Did you not know what you were doing when you said that to the super expert?"

Yu Yue said hoarsely, "He's just an Azure Sea Blue Demon. Is he really anything?"

Yu Ji said coldly, "Yu Yue, don't overestimate yourself. Your identity is no more honorable than an Azure Sea Blue Demon… Have you forgotten Lord Chi Xuehuan? Do you dare to provoke him?"

Han Fei didn't feel happy at all when Yu Ji protected him.

Did those idiots really think that the expert was gone?

Of course not! That kind of expert could likely sense the whole world and might be still observing them.

Han Fei's real purpose to attack Yu Yue at the risk of becoming a public enemy was not to get back at him, but to let Yu Yue slap him.

That slap didn't hurt him, but it showed that Yu Yue was stronger than him.

So, Han Fei was merely putting on an act, which he believed was worth it since someone was watching!

A Half-Merman roared, "I have a question. How could a newly-awakened Azure Sea Blue Demon have resisted the pressure of such an expert?"

"Exactly. He had already slipped to Yu Yue's back before we realized what was going on. He's much more skilled than someone who has just awakened."

Even Yu Ji couldn't help but look at Han Fei… Just now, even she didn't sense that Han Fei slipped away, either.

She was quite surprised at his capabilities.

Yu Ji looked at Han Fei. "Yu Gan, how did you weather through the pressure of the expert?"

Han Fei stared at Yu Yue. "I vomited blood and then I was fine."

All the Half-Mermen were dazed. They all saw Han Fei vomit blood just now, but they thought that it was because he couldn't hold back the pressure.

However, it seems that the guy had offset the pressure of the expert by vomiting blood.

"What a smart Azure Sea Blue Demon."

Tens of thousands of kilometers away, a middle-aged man slightly frowned. "Interesting. He must be an Azure Sea Blue Demon awakened from a rather smart creature… However, he's just an inferior sea demon no matter how smart he is. It's impossible for him to grow into an expert…"

The middle-aged man only paid some attention to Han Fei and his team.

Then, he murmured, "What a great method to cover up the secret. This human being must've been dead already."

As a matter of fact, he had launched 22 clones to a range of 100,000 kilometers at the same time.

It meant that 21 more teams were interrogated at the same time as Han Fei was, although he didn't know any of that.

At this moment, Han Fei hid himself behind Yu Ji as if he was quite vigilant.

Yu Ji's eyes glittered as she saw that. This Azure Sea Blue Demon was rather special. He must've been a smart and vengeful creature before his awakening.

Yu Ji couldn't help but realize that the further they explored the sea, the more experts there would be! Even an Azure Sea Blue Demon awakened in this place was so special.

All of a sudden, Yu Ji thought of something. Could this Yu Gan be…

She simply roared, "Okay, enough of this. Yu Yue, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. I'll personally execute you next time you set up a teammate."

"Humph!"

…

After encountering the expert, everybody was too terrified to explore any further.

Also, the fact that they ran into a human expert was enough for them to report.

Half a month passed.

It had been more than a day since he was last scanned. Han Fei sensed that the expert must've abandoned observing them.

Han Fei was rather relieved. He wondered where Chun Huangdian and the middle-aged man were from.

He did know that they couldn't have been from the Thousand Star City.

The experts in the Thousand Star City couldn't have been so strong as to overshadow him in a head-on clash after suppressing their level.

If they were really so strong, they would have eliminated all the sea demons in the Unknown Place.

During these days, Yu Ji had been teaching Han Fei simple battle techniques of sea demons.

At this moment, Han Fei was spinning a harpoon and created a water shield.

Not far away, arrows were thrown to Han Fei like spears, but they were minced by the shield the moment they touched it.

Yu Ji shouted from aside, "Yu Gan, 'Transient Golden Spear' isn't just about defense. You can try to split the water apart and pierce the shell."

Han Fei roared and waved his hand. Like a surging wave, he narrowly dodged the Arrowhead Shell's attack.

Cold spots of light shined on the harpoon, and Han Fei easily stabbed through the Arrowhead Shell.

Yu Ji's eyes glittered. "Okay, enough training for the day. Yu Gan, you've made tremendous progress."

Han Fei almost couldn't refrain from rolling eyes at Yu Ji. Is it really something to be proud of to kill an Arrowhead Shell? To think that I have to pretend to do this and that every day…

But on the surface, Han Fei grinned as if he felt happy to be praised.

Some of the Half-Mermen were jealous. One of them said, "Yu Ji, this Azure Sea Blue Demon is really making fast progress! He might really become your guard someday."

Yu Ji shook her head. "I never want Yu Gan to follow me. All sea demons are compatriots. I'm only directing him."

Someone smiled casually. "It's more like enlightening than directing. Yu Gan will surely remember you forever as his teacher."

Han Fei secretly complained, Like hell I will! You want me to thank you after you named me dried fish?

Yu Ji didn't respond but remarked casually, "We'll return to the Ten Thousand Demon Valley in five days. The Sea Demon Mountain must be where that expert showed up earlier. We'll just report the matter."

Han Fei had heard of the "Ten Thousand Demon Valley" a lot of times. It must be the place where sea demons gathered.

He wondered if there would be sea demons who were strong enough to see through him. A trip there was more like a gamble. Han Fei had thought more than once to slip away, or to kill those sea demons.

However, those jerks were rather lucky. They didn't encounter a single treasure trove, and the creatures they ran into all fled.

After another day, Han Fei finally found a treasure trove.

He was almost moved to tears at that time.

Who said that there were as many treasure troves as stars in the sky? I haven't seen any of them in the past half month.

It was a place full of coral, which had nothing but white and gray left. The whole area looked like a rising hill.

Han Fei would've neglected the place, but he noticed a white lobster that seemed to be short of spiritual energy and looked quite weak.

Han Fei's first thought was that some creatures here would absorb the spiritual energy in living creatures.

His second guess was that some poison here killed all the creatures nearby, and those who managed to survive all suffered from albinism.

"Hiu!"

None of the others paid any attention to the place, as there were too many unusual places in the sea for them to explore.

But Han Fei was rather tempted. He secretly controlled the Void Chains to whip the coral.

Someone roared, "Wait, something is wrong. I sensed something from the coral."

Someone said, "I sensed it too just now, but the noises are gone now."

Yu Ji instructed, "It seems that a treasure trove must be appearing under the coral. Let's go and look for it."

Nobody was in a rush at the mention of a treasure trove. They felt comfortable since they were near their base.

Han Fei descended with Yu Ji who glanced at him and said, "Yu Gan, don't be too far away from me."

Han Fei nodded.

As an array master, Han Fei was observing the terrain. After a quick glance, he already knew that there was a grand Spirit Gathering Array somewhere below the ground.

Not just that, it seemed to be also mixed with an evil array that could absorb vitality.

Han Fei didn't notice it at first, but after about a five minutes' search, Han Fei found that he dropped 20 points of spiritual energy.

It was too small a number to be detected. Han Fei probably wouldn't have recognized it either if he couldn't see his own stats.

Han Fei tore off a dry piece of coral and licked it.

A Half-Merman laughed. "Hey, Yu Gan! You dork. Are you eating dry coral?"

Another Half-Merman smiled. "This Yu Gan seems rather silly. He couldn't have been a smart fish before he was awakened."

Han Fei ignored them. He found that the Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect in his body moved, which told him that there was a colorless, odorless and unknown poison in this place.

"Awesome. A grand Spirit Gathering Array is set up here, yet it remains undetected. There must be a powerful barrier at the bottom of the sea. Where can it be?"
