Chapter 1996 - 455: Jiao Mu Jiao
Just as he paused to observe, wanting to know which monster this was, a massive figure burst loudly from the sea's surface, lunging directly at him.
Lin Yifan instinctively hid inside the Immortal Ring, without a moment's hesitation.
In an instant, the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring was swallowed whole by the creature that charged out from the Sea of Death, disappearing entirely.
In the distance, Lei Ming stood dumbfounded, staring at the scene.
It was terrifying, the most terrifying sight he had ever witnessed in his life, so sudden, so unexpected, so unpredictable.
"Brother Lin!"
He shouted loudly, overwhelmed with grief, yet also at a loss for what to do.
This monster was too terrifying, too powerful, and he was clearly no match for it.
Now, only by using the secret weapon could it be slain.
The secret weapon was quickly taken out, but the massive monster also retreated quickly, instantly returning to the Sea of Death.
Lei Ming charged ahead, and just then, several groups of people appeared nearby, all shouting a name: "Jiao Mu Jiao!"
Jiao Mu Jiao, it turned out to be Jiao Mu Jiao.
Lei Ming never expected that the monster which swallowed Brother Lin was one of the Twenty-Eight Constellation Beasts, the Jiao Mu Jiao.
It was said that the dragon was born in the blue sea, but why would it be in this Sea of Death?
He was completely puzzled.
Those groups quickly reached the place where Lin Yifan had been swallowed by the Jiao Mu Jiao.
They anxiously stared at the sea, eager to spot the shadow of the Jiao Mu Jiao.
But after observing for a long time, they found nothing, and couldn't help but feel dejected.
"Damn it, we finally got it to come out, and then it disappeared again."
"Just a little bit closer."
"It seems the Jiao Mu Jiao's range of activity is not fixed, and it likes to come ashore to hunt."
"This Sea of Death seems barren, maybe we can use Spirit Beasts as bait to trap it."
"It's not a bad idea."
…
The goal of these groups was the Jiao Mu Jiao, and they saw Lin Yifan's death merely as an experiment, with no sympathy at all.
But Lei Ming was different, he had feelings for Lin Yifan.
"Brother Lin, sob sob sob, why did you have to go?"
"You haven't taught me Martial Arts yet, you haven't guided me in comprehending the Profound Mysteries, how can you just leave like this?"
"Brother Lin, come back soon!"
…
His excessive grief completely drew the attention of these groups.
It turned out that the man who was swallowed by the Jiao Mu Jiao was this young man's brother, which indeed seemed quite sad.
The young man looked distinguished, seemed to come from a good background, but why was he alone? And why did his brother wander carelessly to the edge of the Sea of Death?
Could it be that the warnings here were false? Were they exaggerated?
As a passerby, they kindly reminded: "Leave now, staying here will bring you no good."
"Thank you for your kindness, I believe Brother Lin isn't dead, he will definitely come back."
Lei Ming refused to leave, unwilling to accept the result.
"What a naive, foolish child."
The groups shook their heads and left coldly.
The words were said, whether to leave or not depended on Lei Ming's decision.
Lei Ming tightly grasped the secret weapon in his hand, stared intently at the pitch-black Sea of Death, waiting for the Jiao Mu Jiao to appear again.
If the Jiao Mu Jiao dared to appear again, he would definitely kill it and avenge Brother Lin.
…
On the other side, inside the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring, Lin Yifan was still shaken, cold sweat streaming.
The scene just now was too frightening, he hadn't even seen the appearance of the huge monster clearly before being swallowed whole.
"Brother Fan, what's going on? Why are you so frantic, so absent-minded?"
The four Spiritual Trees approached, asking curiously.
"Nothing, just got swallowed whole by a big monster." Lin Yifan replied.
"Swallowed whole? But aren't you fine now?"
The four Spiritual Trees looked surprised, thinking they were now seeing Lin Yifan's spirit.
"At the very last moment, I hid inside the Immortal Ring; but the Seven-Colored Immortal Ring should have been swallowed by the monster." Lin Yifan explained.
"So, we're actually inside this monster's stomach now?"
"That's right!"
"What do we do then? We can't be trapped here forever, right?"
"Why panic? Once I calm down, it will be the time of its demise."
"Brother Fan has the ability to take down this monster?"
"Probably."
Lin Yifan wasn't entirely sure because he still didn't know the monster's Realm.
"Then why didn't you confront it?" the four Spiritual Trees inquired.
"The situation was extremely urgent at the time, I could only evade, not counterattack or initiate an offense." Lin Yifan replied.
"Alright! We believe in Brother Lin's ability, Brother Lin will definitely be able to take down this big monster."
The four Spiritual Trees had no choice but to pin all their hopes on Lin Yifan.
Every Spirit Beast has a strong digestive capability, and Lin Yifan didn't know if he would be dissolved by the stomach acid once he went out.
Thinking it over, he thought of a safe method for testing.
Weapons can be regenerated, and they have Grade Ranks.
If divided according to durability, they can be categorized as weapons corresponding to each Realm.
For example, a weapon that can be broken by a Great Immortal Second Realm cultivator can be called a Great Immortal First Realm weapon.
Using weapons for testing is much better than using himself.
Thus, Lin Yifan immediately took a Great Immortal Fifth Realm-level weapon and slowly extended it out from the Immortal Ring.
A minute later, when he retrieved it, the extended part was gone.
Even a Great Immortal Fifth Realm-level weapon couldn't withstand it, it seems he could only use a Mysterious Immortal Level weapon.
After careful selection, he chose a Mysterious Immortal First Realm-level weapon.
With his current ability, he could only tackle characters of the Great Immortal Fifth Realm; if this Mysterious Immortal First Realm-level weapon also couldn't withstand it, he'd have to completely abandon the idea of taking on this big monster alone.
He extended the weapon out, and a minute later, retrieved it.
Upon close examination, he found that the Mysterious Immortal First Realm-level weapon was only slightly corroded, indicating the monster's realm was likely around Mysterious Immortal First Realm.
A monster at the Mysterious Immortal First Realm was beyond his capabilities.
Besides organizing a Constellation Formation to summon a Divine Beast to take down the monster, his only option was to use the scroll.
Right now, inside the monster's stomach, even if he could set up a Constellation Formation and summon a Divine Beast, it would be of no use.
This is because the Divine Beast can only exist inside the Constellation Formation, not outside of it.
So after considerable thought, he could only resort to using the scroll.
The power of the scroll was enough to take down the monster, but he didn't want to sacrifice the use of the scroll to achieve victory.
