Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 459 Entering The Immortals Well
"Yes, of course. I wouldn't dare lie." Lothur said humbly, fearful of angering one of these creatures that could kill him with a stab.
He was giving up the demon in his hands to survive and have this opportunity. After all, his chances would be nil if he thought about dangerous things.
But he might as well try to negotiate with that toad later since this creature had no use for a Soul Bone, and he was willing to pay dearly for such a thing.
The beasts there heard him and realized that he was not lying, believing that such a human was not trying to deceive one of them.
These beasts were not friends, but they were concerned about maintaining the integrity of their possessions, something they could only do together. So they naturally had concerns about the giant toad in front of Lothur and the demon.
They also would not be greedy about the Soul Bone that Waloon would soon gain since everyone there had similar powers, and only one could benefit from it.
With that, they looked at each other and agreed to Waloon's plans.
"Very well, human, we will allow you to pass." The great monkey looked at Lothur and said so. "But once you enter the Immortals Well, your life and death will depend on your own abilities."
"Don't blame us if you're not a match!"
"Fine," Lothur said, wanting to escape these beasts as quickly as possible.
"But I will give you a warning. You are not allowed to steal what has already been taken by any beasts inside it. At the same time, we will not forgive you if you kill one of our own!"
Lothur nodded, indicating that he understood.
But before he entered the well near the big rock those beasts were standing on, he looked at the toad and said. "Senior, I hope you don't mind me taking this demon with me."
"Hmm, no problem." That beast replied as it began to chew on some leaves. 'Other than you looking sincere, even if you change your mind, there will be no escape for you if you try to challenge me in this place, human.'
The other beings there saw no problem with that either and made room for Lothur and that creature to enter the Immortals Well.
"Human, just jump in and then swim to the bright spot. When you get there, you will be inside the Immortals Well, the place of your interest." A 6 meters long snake said this as Lothur looked at the 4-meters radius hole in front of him, at the highest point on that rock.
There was what looked like a totally dark pit in a way that Lothur did not know exactly how many feet the drop would be, nor what was on the walls and the lowest point.
For some reason, his visual ability was not working well when he tried to assess what was inside that place.
'Is it because of how special the area is?' He wondered. 'That must be it! If this place can affect my body, I bet it's on a level above my Soul Bone.'
Considering that this was a place protected by 3rd stage beasts, he did not immediately jump in as he pondered this opportunity.
"Just go!" The great monkey laughed and slapped Lothur with the back of one of its hands, pushing the human and the demon into that cavity.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
The two screamed as they felt the air on their faces and smelled wet dirt during their fall into that dark well.
"Damn you!"
'Son of a...' Lothur cursed that beast as he felt his heart beating faster.
But he would not have much time to think about it as he plunged face-first into the water, getting a little disoriented at first but soon locating himself.
Looking at the surroundings of where he had fallen, Lothur immediately searched for the bright light they had quoted to him.
When he saw something shining in the distance from where he was, he attached the demon to his body and began to swim toward his target.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Immortals Well.
When the great monkey had given that little 'encouragement' to Lothur, everyone there laughed momentarily, wondering how cowardly that human was.
But as laughter spread through the surroundings, suddenly, that monkey froze the expression on its face as it felt something was coming for it.
Gulp!
"Shit!"
Before it and the others could do anything, a gigantic spiritual hand, more than 30 meters wide, descended from the skies onto their bodies, pressing them firmly against the ground.
"Ouch!"
It and the others felt pain as their bodies were crushed against the hard walls of that great stone. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦
In sequence, as the spiritual hand continued to press them, a woman dressed in black, with only her red eyes visible, appeared floating over the area.
"Bold!"
"You beasts could challenge him if you wanted to, but I will not allow you to laugh at him!" She said this, frightening even the soul of these creatures who understood well the power difference between them and her.
Gulp!
"Senior, please have mercy!" The giant toad said as its tongue was out of its mouth.
"We didn't mean to, senior. We like that human..." The snake said, feeling that it had to side with Lothur for them to save themselves from something worse.
"Yes, that's why we let him and that... That being, enter our area together." The monkey replied in a way that was conducive to not angering this woman.
She then said. "That's just why you were still alive!"
"Very well, I will give you a chance since you have some merit." She closed her eyes and suggested. "Send juniors of your choice to make life difficult for that silver-haired young man in that place of yours."
"Oh?" The beasts there found it strange, but some understood the meaning of this woman's words.
'She wants to temper him?'
She turned to the giant toad and gave her last command. "If that young man offers you a deal on that demon's Soul Bone, you must accept."
"Yes, senior!" The toad said, regretting that it had laughed at that expert's protégé.
Powerful beings were peculiar and could act for things to which people normally would not give that much importance.
In this woman's case, she did not care if these beasts gave Lothur a good beating. That was part of a cultivator's life. But if they laughed at him, as they indeed did, she would be highly offended, as she ended up being.
These beings had lived for a long time, so they were not dumb to debate with her. Instead, they simply accepted her commands to ease the situation.
"All right, I'm counting on you." This red-eyed woman said, before disappearing from the area, along with the spiritual hand from before.
After sensing this, the beasts were still slumped in the surroundings of that large stone, looking up at the sky. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
One of them then muttered. "She's not even afraid of Daemon... So what would stop her from killing us?"
Gulp!
"Divine Soul... Who among them could be offended?"
