Chapter 725: Demonic Qi Inside the Mountain

Han Fei sat on the ground with a gloomy face. Things were getting a little bit awkward at this moment as the mountain kept collapsing.

Although the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp sometimes would lose control of its power, it shouldn't have caused a collapse with one swing.

However, it was pointless to think about that at this moment.

Han Fei realized that the demonic stones shouldn't be eaten without consideration. While Little Black and Little White were fine, Little Gold was already bashing its head on the rocks.

Also, the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp seemed rather short-tempered. The Little Fatty was as taciturn as before, but it was rolling some of the rocks with its tentacles and strangling them. Han Fei was so scared that he couldn't store them away.

Han Fei glanced at the Hexagon Starfish. "Why are you still normal?"

The Hexagon Starfish rolled its big eyes. "I didn't absorb the demonic Qi until I took my time to transform it."

"Pa!"

Han Fei slapped the Hexagon Starfish and flung it to the wall, before he roared, "Why didn't you tell me that sooner?"

The Hexagon Starfish said pitifully, "I didn't mention that?"

Han Fei covered his head. He really had enough! If any sea demons were up there, would they dig all the way down and kill him?

…

On the top of the mine.

Some Half-Mermaids and Red Demons were standing and observing.

The Half-Merman boss scanned for a long time, before he said, "Why do earthquakes keep happening to this place?"

A Half-Merman asked, "Is it possible that some creatures are down below?"

Someone asked, "Is it possible that human beings are trying to break the foundation of the Sea Demon Mountain?"

The other Half-Mermaids looked at him as if he were an idiot. "If they really want to do that, why would they choose the mine? There's absolutely nothing inside except the black bronze and whatever is left of the spiritual stones."

The first Half-Merman struggled to continue, "What if those human beings want to dig out demonic stones?"

The other Half-Mermen looked at him even more weirdly. "Are you brainless? Can human beings use demonic Qi? They would be killed by the demonic Qi without us doing anything."

Boom…

While the sea demons were deep in thought at the mine, a mountain that was three mountains away from the mine collapsed.

All the sea demons were dumbfounded, as it was a mountain almost a thousand meters high! Yet, it was collapsing at a visible speed. It didn't just descend by several meters, as the mine did. The height of the mountain dropped by half. Rocks were falling and demonic Qi was raging.

Immediately, the Half-Merman boss roared, "Damn it, let's go there and take a look. That's the source of the collapses and earthquakes!"

All the Half-Mermaids rushed to the other mountain.

Han Fei was quite miserable. He hid in a cave no more than two square meters big with the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, which had been forced to reduce its body size. Han Fei had even squatted on the ground.

"Gudu!"

Han Fei swallowed. "Damn it. This mountain is too lousy. We did nothing but some digging. Why does it keep collapsing?"

He looked at the cracking, unstable cave and felt that it might collapse any moment. He might end up as another fossil in this place.

"Now, Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, stop bashing and start digging… If you collapse this mountain, your father will be buried alive!"

The Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp began digging. Han Fei didn't idle by either. He simply refined a hoe and dug together with the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp.

This place was really scary. He might as well dig a tunnel and go out… As for the spiritual stones he saw, Han Fei was almost lost for words. The box of spiritual stones were mostly low-quality and amounted to only five million points of spiritual energy.

If he had known that there were so few spiritual stones, he wouldn't have bothered digging at all. He could earn the same amount by having spiritual fruits for a few days.

Clang, clang, clang! Clang, clang, clang!

Han Fei began to work hard too. He could still find demonic stones, but he simply threw them into Forge the Universe instead of absorbing them immediately. He was afraid that he might go crazy like the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp did and launch a Sacrificing Punch at the cave, which would really bury himself alive.

Han Fei had no time to bother if anyone would notice. After all, even if he was discovered, he could always hide inside Forge the Universe for a couple of days before going out.

Han Fei and the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp dug the tunnel with full strength for three days.

Several more collapses happened in the meantime. Han Fei was already used to them. He believed that this mine must be fragile and could collapse easily.

Han Fei had been digging up. He decided that he should go to the surface first, as there were too many mountains here for him to dig.

On this day, Han Fei didn't know where he was at all during his digging, but he suddenly found a tunnel.

Yes, it was a tunnel that someone else dug out. It was connected to his own tunnel.

Han Fei: "???"

The Hexagon Starfish: "???"

The Hexagon Starfish asked, "Is there someone else digging too?"

Han Fei looked at the tunnel, stunned. "Who on earth had nothing better to do than dig a tunnel in the sea demons' camp?"

The Hexagon Starfish exclaimed, "You!"

Han Fei: "…"

Han Fei scratched his head and considered it for a long time. The tunnel that someone else dug out had saved him and the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp a lot of trouble.

Han Fei spread out his senses and found that the tunnel was more than twenty kilometers long.

More importantly, the tunnel had not collapsed yet, which was a miracle.

Han Fei hadn't decided yet if he should go inside, but Little White had already swum into it.

Han Fei: "???"

The Hexagon Starfish asked, "Is it possible that Xia Xiaochan dug this?"

Han Fei was quite astonished too. "I don't think so! Is Xia Xiaochan capable of digging at all?"

However, since Little White had already moved forward, Han Fei naturally followed it.

Recalling the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, Han Fei chased after Little White for thirty kilometers, and the Hexagon Starfish suddenly said, "There's demonic Qi around here."

Han Fei sensed that the demonic Qi was a weird scarlet energy. When Han Fei detected both the spot lights of spiritual energy and these scarlet spots, he knew that something was wrong about this place.

This tunnel was longer than Han Fei thought. It was more than a hundred kilometers long. As Han Fei moved on, the demonic Qi became more concentrated.

Han Fei sealed his main acupoints to prevent the demonic Qi from seeping in.

However, some of the demonic Qi still managed to infiltrate him.

Han Fei found that the seed in his abdomen was slightly spinning, as if it was absorbing the demonic Qi that entered his body.

Han Fei hesitated, wondering if he should absorb the demonic Qi freely.

He knew that the demonic Qi could likely increase his strength, but he didn't know if there would be any side effects…

After all, something had happened to the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp and Little Fatty earlier.

Also, the demonic Qi should be for the training of sea demons. He was not a sea demon, and he didn't know any of their techniques. There was no telling what would happen if he absorbed too much demonic Qi.

Han Fei's eyes bulged when he reached the end of the tunnel.

It was the stomach of a mountain whose wall was full of crimson crystals that were emitting demonic Qi nonstop.

However, before Han Fei could observe the environment more carefully, the violent demonic Qi had tied up Han Fei and attempted to break into his body.

"Shoot! This is not a joke! Little White, come back…"

All of a sudden, Han Fei saw that Little White went straight at the demonic Qi that was as red as blood at the center of the cavern.

Han Fei found a large rock at the very center of the stomach of the mountain.

"Wait, the Metamorphosis Water?"

It was a real rock, but Han Fei sensed that the Infinity Water was slightly shivering inside his body.

What could've possibly caused the shivering of Infinity Water? Besides, Little White had already swum to the rock and kissed it.

Han Fei instantly roared furiously, "Xia Xiaochan, I know you're in the rock, what are you doing? Why are you here?"

There was no response from the rock.

Han Fei gritted his teeth. "I'm going in if you don't reply!"

As he talked, Han Fei stepped into the cavern from the entrance.

Then, the rock at the center of the cavern shouted, "Get out! How did you get to this place? You can't stay here for long."

With an awful look on his face, Han Fei yelled, "Why am I here? Because of you, of course! I dug through stone for so many days that the mountain collapsed."

A hole appeared on the rock, and Xia Xiaochan craned her head out. "Get out of here. The demonic Qi is so turbulent here that even the sea demons cannot come in. You'll die if you absorb the dispersing demonic Qi."

Han Fei chuckled. "Then you get out too. If you come out, I won't go in."

Han Fei already sensed that a tremendous amount of demonic Qi was entering his body. The seed in his abdomen was already revolving quickly.

Han Fei shivered and moved forward again. "Are you coming out or not? If you don't, I'll come in right now."

Xia Xiaochan shouted, "Are you crazy? Go out!"

Redness flashed in Han Fei's eyes. He didn't care about anything else anymore but simply drifted into the cavern.

In that moment, the seed revolved crazily, and a gigantic funnel seemed to be absorbing demonic Qi from Han Fei's body.

Shua!

Xia Xiaochan finally came out. She carried Han Fei to the entrance of the cavern and said to the Hexagon Starfish, "What are you looking at? Set up arrays and block the tunnel."

However, Han Fei was slightly stunned, as Xia Xiaochan's body was rather slippery.

He lowered his head, only to be shocked by the glowing scales, some of which were blue and some were purple… What astounded Han Fei most was a soft tail that was emanating a weird brilliance.
