Chapter 751: 752 Who Set Off the Firecrackers?

Chapter 751 -752 Who Set Off the Firecrackers?

“All right, that’s the plan!”

“Into the water!”

After slight hesitation, the dozens of remaining cultivators all followed suit, gingerly entering the water. As per Yan Xiao’s instructions, as long as they concealed their auras and hid their intent to kill, the Wanyue Rhino would not sense any danger and therefore, would not pose any problems.

Searching for treasure underwater was a test of fate; perhaps Yan Xiao and Luo Shui were the strongest among them, but the treasures did not necessarily have to fall into their hands.

A few breaths later, not a single cultivator remained on the shore; all had submerged.

After waiting for another moment, several figures slowly emerged from the shadows, a strange smile on their lips.

“Big guys, are you all ready?”

In Li Xiaobai’s hands, several bamboo-like objects appeared out of thin air, emerald green throughout, with extremely unstable and violent Immortal Yuan coiled inside, known as Firecracker Thunderclap.

“Hehe, this old man has been impatient for a while now.”

“I was really shocked by the power of this thing when I first saw it; it actually possesses the strength of a Human Immortal Realm cultivator, enough to wake that rhinoceros Demonic Beast.”

The Old Beggar cackled wildly, taking two Firecracker Thunderclaps in his hand and examining them carefully.

“Woof! Lord Ergouzi will kill them all!”

“Giggle, let these fellows receive the sanction of art!” freёwebnoѵel.com

The three men and two beasts each held two Firecracker Thunderclaps, murderous intent shining in their eyes.

“You don’t need me to elaborate on how to use them, do you?” Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.

“No need, shall we start?”

“With one arrow piercing through the clouds, the Wanyue Rhino shall come forth!”

“Let’s do this!”

On the shore, several people exerted all their might to throw the Firecracker Thunderclaps into the pool, then rapidly retreated to a safe distance, waiting for the imminent bloody turmoil that would stir from the bottom of the lake.

At the same time.

On the bottom of the lake.

Yan Xiao and Luo Shui were the first to reach the bottom of the lake where the massive form of the Wanyue Rhino lay, currently in deep slumber.

Looking around, they did not see the presence of the golden staff.

“It must be that the staff has concealed its divine radiance and turned into an ordinary stick. That’s why we didn’t notice it in the darkness underwater; let’s search more carefully.”

After pondering for a moment, Yan Xiao spoke, quite certain that the treasure was hidden in this pond. Not to mention anything else, just the Wanyue Rhino itself would not likely leave the treasure out of its sight.

“Young Master Yan, the other cultivators have followed us here, we need to speed up.”

Luo Shui softly reminded.

“Don’t worry, even if they get their hands on it, I can still snatch it back for you!”

Yan Xiao’s gaze swept over the people behind him, flashing a look of disdain.

“What if someone causes trouble on purpose and enrages the Wanyue Rhino, shall we go talk to them first?”

Luo Shui was more worried, concerned that someone might adopt a scorched-earth strategy. In this world, there was no shortage of people with extreme ideas: if they couldn’t have it, they wouldn’t allow others to either.

If they disturbed this Earth Immortal Realm Demonic Beast, it would not just be the treasure at risk, but their very lives as well.

“Don’t worry, if someone really dares to wake the Wanyue Rhino, all the cultivators here will die; they don’t have the guts to do that!”

Yan Xiao smiled faintly, waved his hand dismissively, and continued to lead Luo Shui around the massive body of the rhino in search of the treasure, believing that it should be located close to the beast.

In the center of the lake, cultivators who had arrived later were gradually descending.

While sizing up the huge rhinoceros figure below, they couldn’t help but strike up a conversation, “Wow, what a big fellow!”

“If this big guy wakes up, I’m afraid we’re all done for!”

“Relax, didn’t Young Master Yan just say it would only awaken if it felt its life was threatened? We’ve even concealed our breaths, how could we possibly disturb it?”

“You’re right, hehe, but don’t you guys think we’re walking further and further down the path of courting death?”

The cultivators joked and chatted. After confirming that the terrifying beast below was indeed in deep slumber and not about to wake up, they slightly relaxed their guard.

“What we’re doing can hardly be called courting death. True courting death would be like someone attacking the bottom of the lake like crazy until they wake up the Demonic Beast. But that wouldn’t be courting death, that would be certain death, haha!”

“That’s true. No one could be that stupid to do such a thing.”

The cultivators whispered amongst themselves, spreading out in all directions around the rhinoceros. Up to this point, they still hadn’t seen the golden cudgel that had appeared in the void earlier, so it was clear the Demonic Beast had hidden it. They would have to cast a wide net and search carefully.

As for who would ultimately find it, it was all up to luck.

But at that moment, the group suddenly heard a series of whooshing sounds coming from above.

Shortly afterward, there were “plop, plop” sounds, as if something had been thrown into the water.

Everyone looked up and saw ten green bamboo segments rapidly sinking from above.

This bamboo, with ten segments in total, was a lustrous emerald green and clearly no ordinary object; it also faintly exuded a violent aura of Immortal Yuan, disturbing the water currents at the lake’s bottom.

“What is that?”

“Looks like a few sticks of bamboo?”

“Given its appearance, it must be extraordinary, probably a fine material. It’s just that the energy contained within seems a bit too violent. If one were to refine it into a Magic Treasure, it’d probably be quite difficult.”

“Didn’t expect to have an unexpected find on this trip. If I can take this bamboo back, perhaps the Sect might even reward me for it!”

A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the cultivators.

At the bottom of the lake, Yan Xiao and Luo Shui also noticed the situation above and their expressions changed drastically as they keenly sensed the terrifying Immortal Yuan fluctuations within the green bamboo.

That wasn’t some material treasure; it was a massive killing weapon!

“Damn it, who threw the firecrackers!”

Yan Xiao’s face changed dramatically. Enraged, he let out a roar as the robust Immortal Yuan within him burst forth, and he quickly surfaced to flee.

Luo Shui also turned pale with fright. She had been feeling uneasy, and now that unease had become a reality. She had no more desire to treasure hunt. With a talisman flashing in her hand, her figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

At this moment, the other cultivators finally realized something was amiss. The energy contained within those ten bamboo segments was frightening!

“This isn’t a treasure, it’s a firecracker!”

“Damn it, someone really dares to court death!”

“Run!”

Shouts of panic rose as the cultivators desperately swam upwards with all their strength.

But just then, the ten bamboo segments struck the rocks at the bottom of the lake with a thud, and the chaotic and violent Immortal Yuan exploded completely. In an instant, it swept across the lakebed. Many cultivators were hit by the blast, vomiting blood and suffering serious injuries.

Even those who swam fast and managed to reach the surface were affected by the explosion, sustaining substantial injuries and collapsing to the ground.

“Puh!”

“Damn it, which bastard threw those firecrackers!”

“Don’t let me find you, or I swear I’ll skin you alive!”

The cultivators were furious, swearing loudly, but it was at this moment that a loud roar suddenly echoed from the depths of the lake.

“Roar!”
