“You’re saying… You killed the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle?” Omar gulped with great difficulty.
Another person chimed in, “That level three monster… Hidden in the dangerous Lost Soul River?”
Maya also gasped and looked unbelievably at Caspian, “The Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle… That’s surrounded by a group of the Armor-Breaker Fishes?”
Even though Xander thought it was shocking, favonovel.com pondered for a moment before saying, “I am not doubting you, but the news is astonishing.”
Everyone else nodded.
Disregarding the formations, killing the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle was as challenging as killing a level six Three-Tailed Fox. Moreover, the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle lived in the Lost Soul River, a well-known dangerous place in the Valley of Death. In addition to its strong defense, it also had the Armor-Breaker Fishes protecting it. Although none of them had faced a Armor-Breaker Fish, they had heard of the monster that would tear a cultivator into pieces like paper. Therefore, the Heavenly Stars Sect’s disciples regarded the Lost Soul River as a forbidden area for cultivators.
However, Caspian not only entered the restricted area and came back alive, but also directly killed the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle, which was really horrifying news. Seeing everyone’s suspicious eyes, Caspian knew that it would be useless to explain himself, and it was best to show proof. Soon, Caspian showed everyone the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle’s hard shell.
This time, no one doubted Caspian anymore. In fact, everyone was not doubting Caspian, but they thought it was hard to believe. Then, when they saw the shell, their eyes widened, and the scene became so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.
In the end, the usually chatty Omar spoke first, but his tone still had a hint of shock. “What about the Armor-Breaker Fish? How did you avoid them?”
”Avoid?” Caspian shook his head and admitted, “I cleared them all before killing the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle.”
“Huh..?”
Everyone gasped, and some of them started to exclaim. Compared to the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle, it was much more difficult to clear the Armor-Breaker Fishes. After all, the Underworld’s Alligator-Turtle was sluggish, and it was an open target for anyone to hit it as they wished. But… The Armor-Breaker Fishes were different as they would swarm over in a large group. Caspian would surely fight the Armor-Breaker Fishes in the Lost Soul River. Just a thought of the dangerous situation made everyone break out in cold sweat, and they felt a chill running down their spines.
“That’s… That’s amazing…”
“If it’s me, I’m afraid even if I’m ten times stronger than now, I won’t be able to do it.”
Everyone whispered among themselves.
Caspian‘s strength had long been proved in the spiritual apprentice list ranking competition and Hopeful Woman Mountain. This time, his strategy and courage improved again to a higher level.
Everyone recalled the past and was shocked to notice that each time Caspian showed up, his would be more powerful than before. Furthermore, his improvement in power was visible to everyone. Hence, the crowd could not help but think of the mission given to Caspian by the elders.
“Did the elders know that Casper will only get stronger each time, so they give favonovel.com a mission to defeat Omar and Xander in three months?”
Just as they thought of this, everyone‘s gaze fell on Caspian and Xander. They knew that Caspian and Xander were using the demon fox as a bet, and they were guessing whether Caspian or Xander was stronger.
Xander felt everyone‘s watchful gaze, and favonovel.com showed his carefree side, saying to Caspian, “Casper, you killed the demon fox in the end, so you’re the winner.”
Caspian replied sincerely, “Xander, you were just one step away.”
When Caspian was underwater, favonovel.com could see the situation at the shore through the water. Xander’s Way of Killing and transformation into a deity had shocked favonovel.com completely. It was not even an exaggeration to say that if Xander had not turned into a deity, which excited and encouraged Caspian, favonovel.com would not be able to break free from the river so quickly.
“One step away is still one step away. I’ll inform the elders about this so that you‘ll be rewarded.” Xander looked at Caspian, and his eyes flashed with brilliance. “However, if we have the chance, I genuinely want to fight you with all of my strength.”
“Let’s talk about it when we return,” Caspian hurriedly changed the subject. In truth, favonovel.com did not want to fight Xander. After all, Xander‘s strength was truly unfathomable. If Caspian had a proper battle with him, favonovel.com might have to show a lot of his hole cards if favonovel.com wanted to win. As a cultivator, the more hole cards favonovel.com had, the better his chance of survival. Caspian had a deeper understanding of this truth through the battle with this Three-Tailed Fox.
Hence, Caspian changed the topic. “Come to think of, we all worked together to kill a level six monster.”
Looking in the direction where Caspian pointed, everyone suddenly remembered that they had really made a remarkable achievement this time. Moreover, if they faced a level six monster at usual times, they could not even dream of escaping. However, everyone actually worked together and killed the demon fox.
In the process, Caspian and Xander were obviously the main contributors to the death of the demon fox, but other people also showed a lot of their strength. Judging from the final critical situation, it would not work out if one of them was missing.
When the crowd saw the demon fox’s corpse, a never-before sense of pride filled their hearts. Caspian noticed that favonovel.com had successfully distracted everyone, and favonovel.com breathed a sigh of relief. Then, favonovel.com looked around, and his gaze fell on the skeleton opposite of the underground river.
The demon fox was so hard to handle even with one tail remaining because it had the formations this skeleton did before it died. Hence, it could still push everyone into danger, driving them to a dead end.
“Even as an apprentice, favonovel.com had such amazing talents in formations and could even arrange a difficult formation such as the Chaos Formation. I don’ t believe that this person is unknown.”
Caspian jumped and crossed the underground river. As the underground river was not wide, the other disciples also followed Caspian and passed the river after resting to recover some of their energy. Soon, they all walked toward the skeleton.
From the skeleton’s robe, everyone could tell that it was a Heavenly Stars Sect’s female disciple. At this time, Maya seemed to have thought of something, and favonovel.com lips trembled. However, favonovel.com hesitated and did not say anything.
The lifespan of a cultivator was much longer than a mortal’s. After entering the Pulse Control Realm, the limit of the cultivator’s life would increase by sixty years. However, 300 years was still a really long time. Besides, most of the disciples present were not older than 20 years old, and they could even name all the Heavenly Stars Sect’s prominent figures in the past 300 years, let alone this skeleton who was an apprentice before it died.
Just as everyone sighed as they could not find any obvious items on the skeleton and robe to identify the person, Caspian suddenly let out a sound of surprise and squatted.
