Chapter 166 The Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats and the Black Water Serpent
It's truly baffling that no one noticed Ling Feng's movements throughout this entire period.
Was this Ling Feng's good fortune, or everyone else's?
It should be noted that with Ling Feng's current skills, even if his whereabouts are exposed, it will only cause him some trouble at most.
However, if anyone dares to provoke Ling Feng, it's hard to predict what tragic end they will ultimately suffer.
You must know that Ling Feng is no longer the soft-hearted person he once was; he will show no mercy when he strikes.
After Ling Feng left Mist Crown City, he released all his pets.
Being in this desolate wilderness, Ling Feng wasn't worried about these little guys being discovered, because the area was sparsely populated and even if they were found, it wouldn't cause a big commotion.
As expected, the journey was smooth and uneventful, without causing any unusual disturbances.
After all, they were all flying high in the sky, and even if they were occasionally seen by people, it was only for a fleeting moment and naturally could not cause too much of a stir.
When Ling Feng arrived at Kongsang Mountain, he was shocked by the desolate scene before him.
After all, the Ten Thousand Bats Cave is located here, so it's understandable that few people set foot in this area on a daily basis, making it seem somewhat desolate and bleak.
When Ling Feng arrived at this place at lightning speed, it was daytime, so he did not see any bats.
After thoroughly investigating the entrance to the Ten Thousand Bats Cave, Ling Feng found no trace of human activity whatsoever.
Therefore, it can be deduced that the Qingyun Sect's reconnaissance team has not yet arrived here.
Of course, Ling Feng's primary purpose in coming here was not them. Therefore, since they had not yet shown themselves, Ling Feng chose to enter this mysterious and unpredictable Ten Thousand Bats Cave alone.
From the outside, the Wanfu Cave is just a slightly larger cave.
As soon as Ling Feng stepped inside, he was instantly enveloped by endless darkness.
Fortunately, Ling Feng's cultivation technique is unique, granting him superhuman night vision. As a result, the terrifyingly dark environment has little impact on him.
Ling Feng continued deeper into the ancient cave, completely unaware of how far he had gone.
Suddenly, he looked up at the top of the ancient cave and caught a glimpse of the bats, the true rulers of this place.
Ling Feng stared intently, not only was the top of the cave covered with these creatures, but the stone walls on both sides were also densely packed with them, countless in number.
Judging from their overwhelming and impenetrable presence, there is no doubt that the dominant force here is this enormous swarm of bats.
Furthermore, they had already sensed the presence of Ling Feng, this uninvited guest. Judging from their anxious and restless appearance, they were clearly full of hostility and vigilance towards Ling Feng.
However, Ling Feng showed no awareness of being an intruder and completely disregarded the agitation of these "hosts," resolutely continuing to stride into the cave.
After all, his purpose in coming here was the Abyss of the Dead, located in the deepest part of this Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats.
Seeing that Ling Feng dared to venture so recklessly into the area, the group of "masters" perched above him naturally felt dissatisfied, and the already restless atmosphere became even more intense.
After Ling Feng had traveled a short distance further, the "masters" hovering above his head could no longer contain themselves and began to pounce on him noisily.
Despite the fact that all of Ling Feng's pets had used their full strength to release their powerful auras in an attempt to intimidate the invading enemies.
Unfortunately, these bats were almost devoid of any intelligence and were completely unaware of the overwhelming force.
Although Ling Feng continued to move forward steadily, he remained highly vigilant and prepared to deal with any possible emergencies.
At the same time, the unique and sharp sword energy of Sword Twenty-Three acted as an indestructible shield, firmly protecting him.
Therefore, when the bats suddenly swarmed in like a tidal wave, Ling Feng was already fully prepared to deal with them.
Because the Sword Twenty-Three Domain surrounded him like an indestructible shield, any bats that dared to approach were immediately torn apart and shredded by the incomparably sharp sword energy within the domain as soon as they stepped into Ling Feng's vicinity.
In just a short while, mountains of bat carcasses had piled up around Ling Feng.
However, the number of bats here is astonishing, and a continuous stream of bats still fearlessly and relentlessly swarm towards Ling Feng.
Nevertheless, their tragic fate was already sealed—they would become cold corpses on the ground.
Ling Feng stood quietly in place, and after waiting for a while, he was surprised to find that no matter how hard the bats tried, they could not get any closer to him.
In an instant, the last vestige of interest he had felt vanished, and he strode forward without hesitation.
Naturally, the mysterious and powerful Sword Twenty-Three Domain remained closely surrounding him from beginning to end.
Although these bats posed no real threat to him, Ling Feng still found them quite annoying, like a swarm of buzzing flies that made him feel very uncomfortable.
As Ling Feng ventured deeper, the bats that attacked him became increasingly numerous and dense, but without exception, they all failed to break through the impregnable defenses of the domain, ultimately turning into new souls on the ground beneath his feet.
After continuing to walk several hundred meters deeper, the view suddenly opened up, but at the same time, a dead end lay ahead—a bottomless, dark and deep abyss!
Witnessing this scene, Ling Feng understood that he had reached the end of his journey.
This place must be the legendary Abyss of the Dead, and the mysterious Blackwater Serpent must be hiding within it.
Staring into this bottomless abyss, Ling Feng couldn't help but find himself in a dilemma.
After all, they knew nothing about the situation below, so it was not easy to risk breaking in.
After a moment's thought, he turned his gaze to the many pets beside him, examining them one by one, before finally fixing his gaze on the Taotie.
Clearly, Ling Feng had made up his mind to send Taotie deep into the abyss to provoke the Black Water Serpent.
The reason for this arrangement was that Ling Feng feared that if all the pets were to dive down together, it might frighten the Blackwater Serpent and cause it to retreat into its shell.
At that time, the difficulty of finding it deliberately hidden in this intricate Abyss of the Dead will inevitably increase.
Faced with Ling Feng's decision, Taotie not only had no complaints, but was even overjoyed at the prospect of a fierce battle and gladly accepted the order.
In the blink of an eye, the Taotie leaped without hesitation, plunging straight into the bottomless Abyss of the Dead.
Ling Feng, on the other hand, stood steadily above, surrounded by several other pets, quietly waiting for the message from Taotie.
Time passed second by second, and before long, a deafening roar suddenly came from the abyss below!
The roar was deafening, as if it were about to pierce the clouds.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng immediately understood—this must be a signal from the Taotie, indicating that it had successfully located the target.
Because that unique roar was a pre-arranged code!
Now that the target has been identified, Ling Feng will not hesitate in the slightest.
He made a quick decision and led the remaining pets to speed down below.
During the rapid descent, Ling Feng was surprised to discover that this so-called Abyss of the Dead actually presented an inverted funnel shape.
It doesn't look particularly impressive from the top, but as it continues to fall, its interior space becomes increasingly spacious.
After a short while, Ling Feng finally descended more than a hundred meters into the pitch-black, seemingly endless abyss of the Dead Spirit Abyss!
Only now was he able to clearly see the specific situation below.
Below, a dark and deep underground river is hidden.
At this moment, the ferocious and brutal Taotie is confronting an enormous python in the underground river. The atmosphere is extremely tense, but both sides are surprisingly maintaining a high degree of restraint and have not yet engaged in a fierce battle.
Just then, Ling Feng quietly descended upon this place.
His gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, landing directly on the terrifying giant serpent in the underground river.
This giant snake was so enormous that its body alone was nearly two or three meters wide, resembling a moving hill.
However, since it only exposes a small portion of its body above the water, Ling Feng still has no idea how long it actually is.
The most eye-catching feature is the unusually large snake head, which is almost twice the size of the snake's body, making it as shocking as a giant bomb.
Even more bizarrely, the snake's head was covered with large and small fleshy growths, which varied in shape and were hideous and terrifying, giving people a chilling feeling.
When Ling Feng witnessed the Black Water Serpent with his own eyes, a series of absurd thoughts surged into his mind:
"Could this snake also be a time traveler? Could it have once lived in Japan's radioactive wastewater? Otherwise, given its strange and unique appearance, it's simply inconceivable that it didn't drink the nuclear wastewater and mutate!"
Just as Ling Feng was deep in thought, he led a group of majestic pets down like a surging tide.
This grand gesture finally alerted the Blackwater Serpent, whose already tense nerves instantly became even more sensitive.
The Blackwater Serpent is a unique species of the world, and its high level of spirituality is beyond doubt.
At this moment, it keenly sensed that none of the people who had descended upon this place were kind-hearted.
Leaving aside the unfathomable strength of its master, Ling Feng, the aura emanating from the group of demonic beasts around him alone made the Blackwater Serpent realize that their power was in no way inferior to its own.
Although the Abyss of the Dead is its territory, as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone the fact that the opponent has ten people with combat power comparable to its own.
Once it realized it had fallen into a trap, the Blackwater Serpent decided to retreat and find an opportunity to escape.
Its body slowly sank into the water, attempting to silently dive into the depths.
However, just as it had this idea, its many pets, who had been watching its every move closely, instantly saw through its intention.
These pets knew Ling Feng's plan well, and seeing the Blackwater Serpent trying to escape, they naturally wouldn't let it go easily.
In an instant, all the pets roared in unison and launched a fierce attack on the Blackwater Serpent.
In an instant, various lights shone brightly, weaving together a colorful yet deadly net.
Clearly, their intention was to strike first and severely injure the Blackwater Serpent to the point of near death, so that they could force it to submit and become its vassal.
Faced with such a surging offensive, the Blackwater Serpent felt unprecedented pressure and secretly groaned in despair.
The Blackwater Serpent, which had been leisurely and slowly descending, suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
It knew in its heart that things were not going well, and there was no time for hesitation.
They immediately used all their strength to desperately accelerate their descent!
It should be noted that initially, it had a plan to quietly and deliberately dive to the bottom of the water, avoiding causing too much of a disturbance.
Unfortunately, the snake's plans were no match for those of Heaven; at this moment, its scheme had been completely exposed.
Despite the Blackwater Serpent's best efforts to accelerate its descent, the ten powerful magical attacks arrived like lightning, catching everyone off guard.
The poor behemoth, despite its indestructible body and incredibly powerful defenses, was ultimately unable to withstand such a fierce and relentless attack.
In an instant, it was tormented by this series of violent blows, leaving it battered and bruised beyond recognition.
Undoubtedly, its previously planned dive was instantly thwarted. Not only did it fail to dive into the water as it wished, it was also blown into the air like a fish.
In this way, even the Blackwater Serpent's last remaining home advantage vanished.
At this moment, it hovered alone in the air, facing ten menacing and menacing adversaries. Its fate was almost predictable.
After confirming that the Blackwater Serpent had been completely subdued, Ling Feng stepped forward and made no attempt to hide his intention to tame it as a pet.
The Blackwater Serpent felt a growing sense of resistance at the thought of losing its precious freedom after acknowledging its master, and it wanted to resolutely resist.
But when it struggled to twist its enormous head, looked around, and caught sight of those hostile and ferocious gazes, it finally had no choice but to submit, unwilling and resentful.
After all, circumstances are beyond one's control, and in such a desperate situation, there seems to be no other way but to submit and acknowledge one's master.
After all, under the terrifying shadow of death, freedom is utterly insignificant!
Furthermore, the fact that Ling Feng was able to successfully tame so many pets that were on par with his own strength undoubtedly demonstrates that he possesses extraordinary talent and unique charm beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Perhaps following such a powerful and mysterious master isn't such a bad thing after all?
Once you understand these principles, any preconceived notions will vanish, and the process of recognizing the Lord will become exceptionally smooth.
Before long, the ceremony of recognizing the Blackwater Serpent as its master was successfully completed.
Now that the master-servant relationship had been established, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became much more relaxed and pleasant.
Although the Blackwater Serpent had just been beaten to the point of near death and looked terrible by the other pets, it dared not show the slightest hint of resentment at this moment.
