Chapter 347 Chaotic Burning Sea (Part 2)

What is this?! All three of them were startled by Bai Ke's third eye. After all, it was unheard of for someone to suddenly have an extra eye.

Bai Ke didn't explain, since Elder Feng and Elder Lin weren't outsiders anyway, and as for Zhao Xueqian...

Bai Ke took out his Sky-Seeking Compass from the jade wrench, channeled his spiritual power, and began slowly searching for the remains of his father and the others. The compass pointer began to move, continuing its advance.

"Great! The Celestial Compass shows that Father and the others are still moving, which means they should still be alive!" Bai Ke was somewhat delighted; as long as his father was alright, that was all that mattered.

"Be careful, there are two powerful demonic beasts at the Mahayana stage fighting fiercely a thousand meters ahead." Bai Ke discovered this with his Heavenly Eye.

"Then let's go around them from the left." Although Feng Yu was curious about the Heavenly Eye's abilities, it was clearly not the right time to ask. This brat was indeed hiding a lot of secrets.

"No, there seems to be a corrosive swamp on the left, and although there are some monsters on the right, let's go to the right," Bai Ke said.

"Yes, young master," Lin Yun replied.

Because this place is so dangerous, flying is impossible. The surrounding area is filled with poisonous fog. Although it is not enough to threaten one's life, one cannot recover by absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. One can only recover spiritual power by taking pills.

The group had only been stealthily moving for a short while when suddenly...

"Old Lin, be careful!" Bai Ke shouted.

Old Lin immediately prepared to act.

A Golden Spirit Python at the peak of the Returning to the Void realm suddenly charged towards Elder Lin from the water. This kind of beast is good at camouflage, and in this environment, almost no one can detect it.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye was there, and it leaked a trace of its aura just as the Golden Spirit Python was about to attack; otherwise, it would have been injured at the very least.

The golden python, tens of meters long, was difficult to imagine how it managed to camouflage itself so well. With a terrifying roar, the python opened its gaping maw and charged at Elder Lin.

"Hey! You beast!" Old Lin calmly picked up the temple bell and smashed it down.

In just a few dozen rounds, even with its exceptionally tough body, the Golden Spirit Python was reduced to a bloody mess by Elder Lin, resembling a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. Had it not been for the need to prevent attacks from other demons, it could have been defeated in a few more rounds.

In no time, the python was beaten to the point of near death and lay motionless.

"Haha, Uncle Lin is as mighty as ever!" Feng Yu immediately flattered.

"Humph!"

Suddenly, the golden python arched its body and sprayed a stream of pungent venom at Old Lin.

What a beast! It can even play dead. How cunning!

However, as if he had anticipated this, Elder Lin flashed past and finished off the Golden Spirit Python with a single strike. Elder Lin had experienced countless battles; this mere trickery of a demonic beast could not fool him.

Old Lin had just dealt with the Golden Spirit Python and hadn't even caught his breath when he saw Old Feng engaging in a fierce battle with a Floating Wrath Crocodile.

It's possible that the fierce battle between Elder Lin and the Golden Spirit Python just now attracted these demonic beasts.

"Perfect timing! I've been itching to get my hands dirty!" Old Feng exclaimed.

Bai Ke also engaged in a fierce battle with a late-stage Void Returning alien bird. Zhao Xueqian also rushed to help, although she was also at the Nascent Soul stage. However, Bai Ke discovered that Zhao Xueqian could exert combat power no less than his.

Zhao Xueqian wielded the mid-grade Earth-rank Heavenly Snow Sword, her swordsmanship extremely sharp, each strike aimed directly at the demonic beast's vital points. Being a native of the sea, she was very familiar with the weaknesses of such demonic beasts. Bai Ke, not to be outdone, directly struck out with a palm.

"End the battle quickly!" Bai Ke said.

However, Bai Ke and Zhao Xueqian's battle was over in no time. Looking around, Elder Feng had also finished his fight.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. The surrounding monsters might be attracted here. Let's leave first," Bai Ke said.

"Yes, let's go," said Old Lin.

The group quickly left the area, intending to consume pills to restore their spiritual energy once they were gone.

Half an hour later, they found a relatively safe small cave and began to use pills to restore their spiritual power, while Elder Lin was in charge of keeping watch.

"Everyone's almost recovered, so let's hurry up and go," Bai Ke said. He hadn't wasted much spiritual energy to begin with, and had recovered in no time.

"The celestial compass indicates that Father and the others are only about 10,000 li away from us. Let's hurry."

"Strange! How could the three sect leaders, who were seriously injured, have traveled so far?" Elder Lin asked in bewilderment.

“I’m wondering too, but there’s nothing we can do. As long as they’re all safe and sound, let’s go,” Bai Ke said.

Bai Ke and his companions discovered that the monsters in the Chaotic Burning Sea were unusually agitated, and upon closer inspection, they noticed that their eyes were slightly red, for reasons unknown.

These demonic beasts attacked people relentlessly, showing no fear of death. This severely hampered Bai Ke and his companions' speed, requiring them to recover after each battle. Fortunately, they had brought plenty of medicinal pills.

"Hmph, prepare to die." Old Feng finished off another demonic beast.

"Be careful, Elder Feng!" Bai Ke shouted.

"Damn it, can't a man even breathe?" Old Feng shouted angrily.

Bai Ke also rushed to help, not because he was afraid that Feng Lao couldn't win, but because he wanted to end the battle quickly.

After dealing with the monsters, the group quickly began to recover.

Here, dangers abound, and a single misstep could cost you your life. Fortunately, Zhao Xueqian is there; as someone who lives in the sea, she is very knowledgeable about these poisonous creatures.

"Thanks to you, young lady, otherwise we would have been in danger," Feng Yu said gratefully to Zhao Xueqian.

"Thank you, Holy Maiden," Bai Ke said, also expressing his gratitude.

"Holy Son, no need to be so polite, just call me Xueqian," Zhao Xueqian said shyly.

These past few days, they've been through thick and thin together, and their relationship has become much closer.

Old Feng gave Bai Ke a lewd look, the meaning of which was self-evident.

"Alright, Saint... Xueqian, don't be so formal, just call me Brother Bai," Bai Ke said. Although Bai Ke was several years younger than Zhao Xueqian, she couldn't very well call him Brother Bai Ke.

"Oh, you've already become Brother Bai so quickly," Old Feng teased.

"Ahem, you've rested enough. Let's go quickly. Father and the others are not far away," Bai Ke said, pretending to be calm.

……

In the distance, a majestic and towering volcanic peak came into view.

"According to the Heavenly Compass, Father and the Sect Leader are on the mountain ahead. Let's go in!" Bai Ke said anxiously.

"Young master, wait!" Elder Lin said.

"What's wrong, Elder Lin?" Bai Ke asked.

"This mountain is unusual! Usually, such a large volcanic peak would have many powerful demonic beasts, so why is it so calm!" Elder Lin analyzed.

"Yeah, kid."

"No matter what, I must go and save my father! Every second wasted increases the danger to my father and the others!" Bai Ke said firmly.

"Let's slowly find our way forward, let's go!"

Half an hour later, Bai Ke and his group slowly climbed up and found that the temperature was getting higher and higher. The scorching heat made even these cultivators sweat profusely.

"It's strange how they got up here, it's so hot!" Feng Yu said curiously.
