System's Super Sect-Chapter 516 - 513. It’s just luck
Until the winged demons in the sky inexplicably increased and several terrifying great demons with wings and bodies a hundred feet long flew past, Chen Mountain finally couldn’t bear it anymore. He felt that he had arrived at a terrifying place!
An unbelievable thought emerged—could this be the Demon Emperor Lake?
Thinking of this, he hurried to the ship’s rail to look down, wanting to verify this unsettling thought in his mind, hoping it was false, otherwise, he might as well jump off and die. However, his hope was in vain.
Beneath the flying ship, densely packed groups of great winged demons from the Wing Race could be seen everywhere, a scene that couldn’t be seen anywhere in human realms, told him—this truly is the sky over Demon Emperor Lake.
Where there are demon beasts, regardless of place, it’s disconcerting for those from Heaven and Earth Lake. Even though three thousand years ago, after being defeated by the human race, the demon race withdrew from the major stage of Heaven and Earth Lake, relying only on a few lakes as their last habitat, no one dares to say the demon race is weak.
The Demon Emperor Lake, as one of the two great nests of the demon race, induces even more fear, just hearing its name could make him shiver.
In Xuanse Lake, no matter which four-star giant influence, be it the Dragon God Sect or any other force, has ever dared to trespass into Demon Emperor Lake; they all keep a safe distance from it, even knowing that the upper-tier White Crystal ores found there in swarms are enough to sustain a four-star influence for a thousand years by excavating just one.
"Sect Leader Wen, you shouldn’t be going through here..." Chen Mountain smiled bitterly as he turned around, looking at Wen Ping’s half-amused expression, "This Demon Emperor Lake is a hundred times more dangerous than the Dragon God Sect, entering it is sure to be a suicidal mission!"
Despite Chen Mountain’s clear expression of terror, Wen Ping merely responded with a question, "Afraid?" Without waiting for an answer, as if not seeing Chen Mountain’s horror, he continued to leisurely watch Haha being chased around on the deck by the little ones, Da Gui and Xiao Gui.
"Eating well makes all the difference." Having a daily diet of White Crystal, Haha was bubbling with energy like an overjoyed dog, almost overflowing with spirit every day.
Uh-oh—
Uh-oh—
As they chased, Da Gui and Xiao Gui let out soft, milk-like cries; the faster Haha ran, the harder the two little ones pursued. Watching Haha being caught and knocked over by them, Wen Ping couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Chen Mountain thought Wen Ping certainly wasn’t just ignorant of the terror of Demon Emperor Lake, so after running a few laps on either side of the ship’s rail, he quickly warned aloud once more, "Sect Leader Wen, to get from here to Xuanse Lake, we might never..."
He dared not continue because Long Ke walked up and kicked his calf. Although Long Ke’s kick was casual, Chen Mountain had to grit his teeth to withstand the pain. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Finishing with the kick, Long Ke coldly rebuked, "A prisoner, it’s merciful enough not to kill you, still having so much to say? You better not test the patience of this aunt, don’t force me to throw you down to feed those hungry winged demons below."
With that cold rebuke, Chen Mountain hastily covered his mouth, the things he wanted to tell Wen Ping once again stuck in his throat.
And Long Ke, after reprimanding Chen Mountain, returned to where she was standing before. Despite a calm expression on her face, she couldn’t help but cast a glance outside the flying ship, and after some time couldn’t resist speaking to Wen Ping, "Isn’t it too risky to go through the demon race’s lair?"
Wen Ping replied, "If we cross the Three Lakes, it will take two days to reach Xuanse Lake. And then it’s at least half a month from Xuanse Lake to the Dragon Spine Mountain, we don’t have that much time. Going through here, by the time the sun rises the day after tomorrow, we will have arrived."
Long Ke continued, "But judging by the density of the demon race we saw now, along this path, there will be at least one Demon King in the Mountain Suppression Realm in the sky. Plus, the qi of all the demon bodies here is stronger than in other places, that Demon King must be of pure bloodline, if we encounter it in the air, I’m afraid I might not be its match."
In truth, Long Ke said this not out of worry—instead, he had complete trust and faith in Wen Ping from the bottom of his heart.
Since Wen Ping was clear that it would take only a day and a half to go through here, she believed Wen Ping surely also knew the dangers involved.
She said this merely to know the endurance limit of the flying ship, whether it can withstand the attack of a great demon in the Mountain Suppression Realm. She had already witnessed the extraordinary nature of the flying ship that even the Qu Realm couldn’t do anything to it, but she still didn’t know the ship’s endurance.
However, what she received was a frown showing difficulty, and the response that followed made her collapse, no matter how you listened, it sounded unreliable, the firm trust in her heart suddenly being blown away by the wind.
"Hard to say." Wen Ping frowned, said this sentence then turned his head, as Long Ke was about to ask again, he opened his mouth once more, "In such a wide space, just one Demon King, we probably won’t be so unlucky to encounter it, right?"
"Probably?" Long Ke didn’t know how to respond to Wen Ping, just wanted to ask again when there was a thud sound.
The sound was somewhat muffled, also very brief. When the sound reached their ears, it could be determined that it came from the left side of the cabin, but definitely from the inside. Realizing this, Long Ke hurriedly moved to the left side of the ship’s rail.
Chen Mountain also hurried over, for fear of death, he wanted to figure out if any movement meant something major was happening.
Wen Ping didn’t move, but his face showed a different smile than before, and then hearing Long Ke suddenly exclaim, not out of fear, nor surprise, but rather a sense of helplessness. What you fear comes?
Followed by a great demon a hundred feet long came into view, flapping its wings and hovering at the rear of the flying ship, with an incessant angry roar. Judging by its aura, it was undoubtedly a winged great demon of Mountain Suppression power.
Chen Mountain looked at it, his face turning pale instantly, hastily retreated, stumbled and was tripped by his own right foot to the ground.
"Uh?"
Suddenly, Long Ke realized a problem.
The one that collided with the flying ship must have been the winged serpent capable of flying at such a high altitude, at least having a power close to the Mountain Suppression Realm. Besides this winged serpent, there were no other winged demon creatures around the flying ship.
But why hasn’t it caught up?
Instead, it just roared angrily in place.
Eventually dragged further and further by the flying ship, turning into a small black dot—it never caught up all along.
Blind?
At this point, Chen Mountain also calmed down a bit, watching the winged serpent’s figure growing distant, feelings other than fear erupted in his heart. He was also curious, since the winged serpent hit the ship, why didn’t it pursue?
Could it be blind?
Long Ke pondered for a few seconds, not understanding, hurriedly looked at Wen Ping, and in his mind, images of Wen Ping never looking at the winged serpent slowly drifted by, "What happened just now? Why didn’t it catch up?"
"See, that’s luck. Zhao Keqing, if you truly worry, go sleep in the cabin, when you wake up, you will be at the Dragon Spine Mountain Range." Wen Ping couldn’t be bothered to explain, should he tell Long Ke this flying ship has a stealth function?
Easier said than explained, what’s more, fabricate another lie?
Why bother!
Simply put, within 24 hours, even if a great demon flies right past, with its face touching the Flowing Cloud Armor, it could never see the passing flying ship on its side. Left dumbfounded, doing nothing but loudly roaring like the winged serpent earlier.
If after 24 hours, the flying ship was really so unlucky to be discovered, he wouldn’t worry, after all, today is different from yesterday.
pieces of White Crystal were not spent in vain.
