Chapter 723: The Sea Demon Mountains

Han Fei had looted a lot of good stuff over the recent half month.

Earlier, he had been eating spiritual fruits every day, but he didn’t have to anymore. He had picked up an abundance of spiritual springs and some spiritual stones just by following Xia Xiaochan.

After a rough calculation, considering the spiritual energy he stored earlier and picked up recently, Han Fei found that he had 70 million points of spiritual energy available in total.

Among that, the spiritual springs took up 28 million points and weighed almost thirty thousand kilograms. He had got 24 million by having spiritual fruits. The spiritual stones he picked up amounted up to 20 million too.

In such a case, it wasn’t far away for him to save a hundred million points of spiritual energy.

However, Han Fei didn’t pick up as much Spirit Awakening Fluid. He had only looted about fifteen hundred kilograms during the half month.

The longer he traveled, the less he got. He even found no Spirit Awakening Fluid at all in the last two raids.

Han Fei had every reason to believe that these sea demons had become smarter. They would either use up the Spirit Awakening Fluid before they left home, or not take it out at all.

Han Fei didn’t think it was likely that they left such valuable treasures at home. Besides, it remained unknown whether or not the sea demons had a home. So, they probably had drunk it themselves.

Han Fei put a spiritual fruit into his mouth. He had to keep eating them. He didn’t even have a hundred million points of spiritual energy yet. It wouldn’t be enough if he needed to deduce any techniques.

As a matter of fact, Han Fei had indeed planned to deduce all the techniques he needed before he returned to the island.

All of a sudden, Han Fei sensed that dozens of turbulent waves were moving in front of him at an unbelievable speed.

Han Fei subconsciously narrowed down his senses and cast a Concealment Array and Breath Concealing Array on himself.

“Mr. Hexagon Starfish, hurry up and hide us in your arrays! There’s no time to enter a gate.”

The Hexagon Starfish shivered and cast a Concealment Array on Han Fei. Han Fei quickly cast the Stealth Array, the Water Illusion Array, and all the other arrays he knew that could hide him.

Hexagon Starfish asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t talk, and don’t move…”

A moment later, Han Fei sensed that a bunch of sea demons flew above his head like launched missiles… No, they were much faster than missiles! They were like the clouds left by jets in the sky after they flew by. Hundreds of such clouds appeared suddenly.

Han Fei was quite shocked. What was going on? Have human beings declared war on the sea demons?

Han Fei dare not release his senses. If those guys detected him, it would be impossible for him to escape unless he ran into Forge the Universe.

However, while Han Fei observed them, a Half-Mermaid suddenly paused and spread out its senses. Han Fei quickly lowered his head, ready to enter Forge the Universe.

He could always enter it with Mr. Hexagon Starfish. It was impossible for him to defeat this number of enemies.

Those Half-Mermaids looked very strong. They were definitely above level-50.

One of the Half-Mermaids asked, “What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

Sensing that the enemies were scanning the area, Han Fei only hoped that the Hexagon Starfish’s illusions worked and the sea demons didn’t see him, or he wouldn’t know how long he would have to hide inside Forge the Universe.

At this moment, a stone shivered eight hundred meters away from Han Fei.

Immediately, a spear of spiritual energy was thrown down and pierced through a crab.

Up in the sky, the Half-Mermaid who stopped said, “No. I might have just been paranoid.”

After the sea demons rushed out again, Han Fei glanced at the Hexagon Starfish and gently shook his head.

The Hexagon Starfish nodded with its giant eyeballs, showing that it got it.

Han Fei stood where he was for almost an hour, until a Half-Mermaid suddenly descended from the surface of the sea and quickly scanned the area before finally leaving the place.

After a while, Han Fei didn’t think that they would search the place for a third time, so he asked telepathically, We need to be more cautious later. I think we’re approaching the lair of the sea demons.

Hexagon Starfish asked, “Why did Xia Xiaochan go to the sea demons’ lair for no good reason? Let’s just go back first. I’m sure she’ll return later.”

Han Fei scoffed. “Shut up. Now, keep stealthy the whole time! We may have sailed hundreds of thousands of kilometers in the sea. We can’t even tell the direction anymore. You think it’s easy to return? Keep looking for her.”

Six hours passed.

The places that Little White led them to got weirder and weirder.

Han Fei saw a mountain in the distance. Occasionally, some Inferior Man-Fish swam above his head. There were more plants around here, and fewer creatures. Fish were rare in this place.

Han Fei instantly said, “Mr. Hexagon Starfish, something is wrong. I think we may have really come to the lair of sea demons.”

The sea creatures dare not approach this place, which was frequented by sea demons. The hundreds of Half-Mermaids Han Fei saw earlier had probably set off from this place.

The Hexagon Starfish quickly rolled its eyes. “Then what do we do? Let’s run! We can’t possibly break into the sea demons’ home camp!”

Han Fei snorted. “We have to pass it even if we can’t defeat them. No, we have to dig our way through.”

Han Fei spread out his senses. He detected Inferior Man-Fish within twenty kilometers, but they couldn’t detect him.

Han Fei kicked the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp. “Dig as deep as possible. No bashing, just dig.”

It was relatively simple to dig tunnels at the bottom of the sea where the soil was soft. The Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp could easily dig dozens of meters down.

Han Fei simply collected the soil behind it and then sealed the tunnel from the back. He also asked the Hexagon Starfish to set up arrays in the hole.

“Will this work?”

Han Fei nodded. “Yes, Little White is leading the way.”

Little White was on the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp’s head at this moment, and the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp dug in the direction that Little White faced.

Although it was slightly slow, Han Fei would rather be prudent than take risks.

However, he was still confused about why Xia Xiaochan came to the sea demons’ camp. He hoped she wasn’t caught by them.

He didn’t think it was possible. Xia Xiaochan played hide-and-seek with him for so long and left loot on the battlefield for him. There was no reason that she could be caught!

If she wasn’t caught, she must have had a good reason to come here.

As the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp dug five hundred meters underground, the digging got harder and harder. Heavy rocks could be found on their way.

Han Fei examined the depths and didn’t think that he would be found if had been pressing into a mountain, he probably wouldn’t be noticed.

After twelve hours of digging, Little Black, which had been following Han Fei, dashed out and caught a spiritual stone from the dirty mud.

Han Fei: “???”

Han Fei was lost for words. “Wait a moment, where did you find this?”

It was a low-quality spiritual stone that contained 11,022 points of spiritual energy.

However, even a low-quality spiritual stone was still valuable. Where had Little White led the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp to?

Han Fei instantly said in delight, “Get out of the way and let me see where we are.”

Han Fei searched and soon found another spiritual stone from the soil. His eyelids fluttered.

“Hiss! Is it possible that we’ve run into a spiritual stone mine?”

Han Fei scanned the place with his senses, only to discover that he could only sense several dozen meters, which was unbelievable as his range of perception should’ve been twenty kilometers.

However, he had detected a dozen low-quality spiritual stones in such a short distance.

Han Fei considered calmly and wondered if the mountain would collapse if he were to pick up all the stones.

It was not like he had never done that before. He had already collapsed a mine back in the level-one fishery. If he were to collapse the camp of sea demons, was there a chance for him to run away alive?

“However, I can’t just leave all these stones here!”

Han Fei couldn’t possibly refuse the spiritual stones that he had already seen. He wasn’t that rich at all.

However, Han Fei didn’t put the stones into Forge the Universe. He simply took a giant box out of Forge the Universe and threw the stones he found into it while he let the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp drag the box.

Han Fei murmured, “I don’t think the mountain will collapse as soon as the spiritual energy still lingers.”

Therefore, Han Fei dug deeper and deeper, until the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp penetrated the rocks and Han Fei found that his senses were completely blocked. They were totally trapped inside the mountain.

Boom!

Han Fei had just picked up a high-quality spiritual stone, when the tunnel they just dug out suddenly collapsed.

Han Fei: “???”

The Hexagon Starfish: “???”

The Hexagon Starfish cried, “Did you just get us trapped in the rocks?”

Han Fei lowered his head and looked at the big box in his arms. “I don’t think I picked many! It’s just a hundred of them, and none of them are ultra-quality. Why has it collapsed?”

The Hexagon Starfish shook. “The real problem is, how can we get out?”

Han Fei scratched his head. “I can’t sense anything up there. Do you think the sea demons up above can detect us?”
