God of Fishing Chapter 186 - Undersea Tomb

Chapter 186 Undersea Tomb

Everybody took action together. Xia Xiaochan flashed and knocked the red lobster into the rocks.
Xia Xiaochan said, “It’s burning. I’ll beat it up before I sign a contract with it.”
About fifteen minutes later, the fiery lobster finally compromised.
The contract was made soon after. Xia Xiaochan remarked, “Red Fire Tricky Lobster, what a weird name.”
Xia Xiaochan was going to test the Red Fire Tricky Lobster’s abilities, when she saw that Han Fei ran to the end of the cave and slashed randomly.
Luo Xiaobai asked, “Han Fei, what’s going
on?”
Xia Xiaochan exclaimed, “Are you crazy?”
Han Fei pointed at the wall. “Something is strange here. Based on my years of experience on the ocean, I can tell that there’s something here.”
Everybody felt like rolling their eyes. Years of experience on the ocean? Just keep bragging!
But their mockery was gone when they saw that a green jade door carved with stripes resembling grasses was revealed after the rocks were broken.
When the door showed up, everybody sensed that the temperature was rising again.
Zhang Xuanyu said excitedly, “Treasure! There must be treasures behind it! We’ve found a treasure trove!”
Han Fei was excited too. He didn’t expect that he would find treasures while he was hunting contractual spiritual beasts. The ocean was indeed the most mysterious place full of treasures.
Han Fei said, “Help me break the rocks nearby and see if there are other things near the door.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “Be careful. There might be something scorching behind the door.”
Very soon, the door was revealed completely. The words, “Fire Cloud Cave” were written above the door.
Le Renkuang observed the door for a long time and said, “Is this place an ancient relic? It seems quite good.”

Han Fei pulled him back and said, “Step back. I’ll try to open the door.”
Everybody else stepped back, and Luo Xiaobai said, “Le Renkuang, prepare the shield armor.”
While everybody looked at him anxiously, Han Fei stomped and tried to push the door open with all his strength, but the door simply wouldn’t budge.
Le Renkuang hurriedly went forward. “Let me give you a hand.”
Both of them exerted all their strength, but the door was still absolutely still.
Zhang Xuanyu said, “I’ll join you.”
But the result was the same.
Suddenly, Xia Xiaochan said, “Try pulling the door up.”
“Pull it up?”
Han Fei, Le Renkuang, and Zhang Xuanyu looked at each other and tried that. The moment they exerted their strength, the door was pulled up, and hot air as well as an enormous attraction force came from behind the door.
Everybody leaned forward beyond their control. In the blink of an eye, they were already behind the door.
Xia Xiaochan remarked, “Three idiots.”
Han Fei and his buddies couldn’t argue, and nor did they intend to, because they had been shocked by the view before their eyes.
Behind the door was a scorching furnace, which was the source of the unusual heat that they had sensed. This place was a round space with a coverage of around five hundred square meters. Apart from the furnace at the door, there was nothing but gray rocks and an irregular rock at the center that separated this place into two parts.
“Dear Sea God! Have we really found a treasure trove?”
Zhang Xuanyu approached the furnace in excitement, but he was blown away by a weird scorching force when he was two meters away. Thankfully, Luo Xiaobai was able to pull him back with her vines in time.
Luo Xiaobai said, frowning, “Be careful. This place is well hidden. It’s not like a common treasure trove. Let’s be prudent.”
Clang…
Everybody looked at the source of the noise, only to see that Le Renkuang was cutting green jade, which seemed to contain some spiritual energy, on the rocks with a knife.
Han Fei was lost for words. “Le Renkuang, you’re truly unwise. You’re interested in the rocks when there’s such a huge furnace here?”
Le Renkuang said scornfully, “There’s nothing in the furnace. Just swim up and look into it.”
Unconvinced, Han Fei took a look himself, only to see nothing but magma in the cave.
Luo Xiaobai said, “It’s Earthly Fire. This place is connected to Earthly Fire.”
“Come here and take a look.”
Xia Xiaochan was standing before a wall. She seemed to have found something.
Everybody gathered around her and saw murals on this wall. In the murals, a man with wings on his back was confronting a dragon with a lance. By reading the murals, they basically learned what happened.
According to the murals, a dragon whose name was unknown once arrived at this level-two fishery, causing a tremendous number of boats here to be missing. Later, an expert came from the clouds with a group of warriors. The expert valiantly fought the dragon with his subordinates. Though the dragon was killed, his men all died, and the expert too was heavily wounded. Then, the expert found this place which was connected to Earthly Fire and tried to rest here…
Xia Xiaochan shook her head. “It couldn’t have been a dragon. If it were, those people would’ve been killed instantly. It must’ve been something like my Giant Arowana. Few people can resist its roar.”
Han Fei nodded in agreement. “I don’t think it was a dragon either, but it must’ve been very strong since it killed so many winged guys.”
“Winged guys? Show them some respect, alright? So many Hidden Fishers were slaughtered. I don’t think it’s going to be easy for us to get the treasure.”
Zhang Xuanyu clicked his tongue and speculated, pretending to be knowledgeable.
Boom…
Han Fei turned around, only to see that Le Renkuang and Xia Xiaochan had accidentally triggered a switch on another wall dozens of meters away. At this moment, a stone door was opening noisily.
Le Renkuang looked at everybody apologetically. “It was only an accident. I’m sorry.”
Xia Xiaochan was about to crane her head behind the door, when a vine stopped her.
Luo Xiaobai looked at them with a strong headache. “Would you please hold your curiosity back? This place is too weird.”
Xia Xiaochan giggled. “If we can’t get out, we can only press forward. The real dangers are behind us.”
Han Fei found that everybody besides him loved treasuring hunting. His teammates seemed even more enthusiastic than himself.
Zhang Xuanyu licked his lips. “Let’s go in! I don’t think it’s dangerous here.”
Han Fei approached the door. Seeing the dark aisle and the candles on its two sides that had died out, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Wait… Xia Xiaochan, can you light the candles?”
Xia Xiaochan snapped her fingers, and flames popped up from them. Han Fei was truly amazed. It felt great that you could make use of the special abilities from contractual spiritual beasts after you acquired them. Xia Xiaochan’s fingers were even handier than real lighters now.
Then, the candles were ignited and spread all the way down the aisle.
Han Fei was briefly stunned. “Huh? Eternal Lamps? Why am I under the impression that this is a tomb?”
“A tomb?”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes. According to the murals, an expert recovered himself through Earthly Fire in here, but if that’s true, why did he build the slots for candles on the walls here?”
Luo Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, “Don’t move. Let me have a try.”
Luo Xiaobai extended her hand, and vines sprawled out along the floor and the walls.
A few minutes later, all the vines suddenly broke apart, and Luo Xiaobai shivered palely.
Xia Xiaochan gave her a hand and asked, “Xiaobai, what did you see?”
Luo Xiaobai said awfully, “Human-Faced Crabs. A lot of them. They live in the crevices nearby, and I just alarmed them.”
“Hiss…”
Everybody gasped hard. Human-Faced Crabs could create illusions. How could they deal with so many Human-Faced Crabs?
Xia Xiaochan, Luo Xiaobai, and Zhang Xuanyu all stepped back.
Le Renkuang was dumbfounded. “Why are you all staring at me?”Han Fei rolled his eyes and was about to step back too.
But Xia Xiaochan poked him with a knife and said, “Why are you backing off? The Human-Faced Crabs can’t break your defenses.”
Han Fei said innocently, “What if I start to attack you because of my illusions? Wouldn’t it be simpler if Le Renkuang just cleared the crabs with his Torrents of Knives and Swords?”
Zhang Xuanyu patted Han Fei’s shoulder and said solemnly, “Han Fei, considering your fatness, all the crabs will be attracted to you and ignore us if you stay here.”
Han Fei’s face darkened. “You are a mean friend. That’s outrageous.”
Le Renkuang said, “Also, if Le Renkuang is bewildered, only you can completely block his Torrents of Knives and Swords.”
Le Renkuang: “???”
Han Fei: “???”
