The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 792 - 323: Fishing in the Air_2

"But now I am dull in every sense, and even if I am a hundred times more cautious, the risk of life and death accompanies me day and night."

"For the next leg of the journey, let’s go together."

Ye Hanjun said and then asked:

"What else is on this isolated island? On my way here, I only encountered Heart-Devouring Beasts and deformed insects, and haven’t yet seen the curse you mentioned."

"The Heart-Devouring Beasts and deformed insects... those are on the south side of the island."

Ye Yin pondered:

"The north side of the island is muddy, and it’s hard to move an inch. Besides a few murderous plants, there’s no other life."

"The west side of the island has a vast Mass Grave, where the bones of certain tribespeople are buried."

"Of course, there are more empty graves there, as well as cursed graves that contain evil and ominous things. Ever since I lost my eyes there, I dare not rashly visit again."

"As for the east side of the island, there is a place called ’Void Cave.’

"Sitting at the Void Cave with blood as bait, one can fish in the Nether Water. Once prey is hooked, killing and gutting it may yield unique Spiritual Medicine, spirit pearls, spirit bones..."

Ye Hanjun listened quietly, amazed in his heart, Ye Yin really had survived here for a long time, and he actually possessed so much valuable information.

"Wait, is there no way out of here?"

Goose Immortal and Huazhu, who were summoned along, also joined in listening.

Goose Immortal suddenly interrupted Ye Yin, asking a sharp question.

"I, too, wish to leave, but this place is a world unto itself, and even the Unlimited Foetus can’t easily traverse the river of Nether Water."

Ye Yin lowered his head and shakily took out an ancient scroll:

"This is a relic I found in the tomb of my tribe, buried together with two pieces of the Shura Bow."

"Although the tomb’s owner only left behind the character ’Ye,’ without a name, I believe it must have been an astonishingly brilliant Young King to have such achievements."

Ye Hanjun’s eyes shone brightly as he saw the combined Armor on Ye Yin’s arm, which was not much different in size from his own.

Strictly speaking, this was a windfall opportunity.

But even such a tribesman couldn’t leave the island and instead died here, languishing bit by bit. How was he supposed to escape this predicament?

"This scroll records a method to leave."

"By collecting the skull of a Fish King, the blood plasma of seven demons, and deep Nether Soil, and calling forth a sailing vessel on the night of a full moon, one can cross the Nether Water."

"The tribesman mentioned that in order to obtain the skull of a Fish King, one might need to fish for the overlord of the water."

"But firstly, attracting the overlord itself is difficult."

"If the overlord is hooked but cannot be killed, it undoubtedly puts oneself in danger, with a lingering disadvantage."

Ye Yin paused for a moment, showing a hint of helplessness:

"I am cursed with bad luck, and on my third attempt at fishing, I attracted something that might have been the overlord."

"But I didn’t have time to observe it, nor did I possess the courage to confront it and immediately initiated Miracle disassembly."

"Had I not done so, I would have been dead."

"The memory of that monster’s terrifying bite force is still fresh; it’s hard to imagine how the Heaven and Earth Stage could overcome the level difference and beat such an Unlimited Foetus."

"We can discuss this matter in more detail later."

Ye Hanjun looked at the baby Chimera and said, "If you and I work together, there might be a possibility of getting the skull of a Fish King."

"I can provide four types of demon blood, and with a bit of luck, that should almost be enough."

"I only have the blood of a Fish Demon, caught while fishing."

Ye Yin said, "The tribespeople did leave behind five different types of demon blood, but alas, they have all dried up due to age and ineffective preservation methods."

"We’re only short of two types; the chances are good."

Ye Hanjun nodded in agreement and then asked:

"What is deep Nether Soil, must we go digging for it?"

"I’m afraid so; I suspect it is the soil from the deeper layers of the Mass Grave area."

Ye Yin spoke cautiously:

"But that place is even more dangerous. The curse styles are not simple, and just a few minor curses stacked together could mean that you or I might be gone without a trace."

Ye Hanjun fell silent, pinching his chin, thinking deeply.

The good news was that there was at least a way to leave.

The bad news was that there were many prerequisites still lacking, and gathering them all would require taking risks over and over again.

"How much longer do you need to get past this period of weakness?"

"Originally, it would have taken a year or even longer."

Ye Yin replied:

"However, I still have one herb that was meant to be my last life-saving measure."

"Since you are here, I will use it ahead of time, which should shorten it to three months."

"Great," Ye Hanjun decided, "then tomorrow I will go to the east side for a stroll and experience fishing."

"You rest here and heal. I will take on the task of exploring the island."

"That works."

Ye Yin slowly sat down on the moldy mattress, "Tell me about what you have been through these years. Have you encountered other members of our clan?"

"How is Ye Liuying? Is she all right?"

"And what of the three Young Emperors, have they shone brilliantly, dazzling and delightful under the gaze of countless eyes?"

...

As the Lion Head snored thunderously, a candle flickered gently, and Ye Hanjun and Ye Yin talked throughout the night.

The next day, Ye Hanjun had a light sleep to regain his energy.

When he awoke, Snake Head and Sheep Head were already lively and spirited, only the Lion Head was still soundly asleep.

"Get up, get up, we’re going fishing!"

GuaGua nudged Little Lazy Lion but to no effect, so in the end he gave way to Goose Immortal.

Goose Immortal chopped at its head, and with a resounding rumble, the Lion Head finally woke up.

"Huh?"

The status column clearly marked ’fully spirited’ and ’completely healthy.’

But Lion Head was always lazy and shiftless, unwilling to put in any effort and only wanted to slack off.
