Chapter 1247 - Gap
Chapter 1247: Gap
This place was definitely not ordinary.
The rock sparrow’s eyes were filled with excitement as it slowly walked forward.
At this time, the white eagle and the others looked at the Devil King’s back, their hearts filled with anxiety. They could not guess the Devil King’s emotions at all.
1 step, 2 steps, the rock sparrow gradually approached the waterfall.
Those Dark Ferocious Beasts were also staring at the rock sparrow’s back. Some of them whispered, “How far do you think the Devil King can go?”
“That Devil Dweller can reach 15 steps or so away from the waterfall. With Sir Devil King’s ability, I’m sure it can enter!” A fierce beast said with a fiery expression.
The snake-shaped ferocious beast also whispered, “When Sir Devil King has confirmed the Dripping Blood Stone vein inside, it’ll surely reward everyone. White Eagle, you’ve contributed the most. When the time comes, I’ll give you an extra 10%.”
“That’s natural.”
After resting for such a long time, the white eagle’s body gradually recovered. It nodded.
The other beasts did not have any objections. After all, the white eagle had risked its life and flew over 50,000 kilometers. Even the Devil King was brought here by it, so it was normal for it to get a little more.
Everyone thought that the Devil King would be able to enter the waterfall.
Of course, if they became stronger and entered deeper, they would not have such thoughts.
These beasts would at most linger in the outside world. They did not dare or have the ability to enter deeper. They naturally did not know how terrifying the pressure inside was. The physical and mental pressure could almost make an expert collapse in an instant.
The rock sparrow advanced step by step.
At first, it was very relaxed. After reaching the 200-step mark, it already felt the pressure. This pressure came from the mental aspect. It had just broken through to a Devil King, and its mental power had only just increased. Compared to the other Devil Kings, there was still a huge gap.
The rock sparrow’s expression changed slightly. It had also felt this. If the pressure increased at this level, with its strength at the moment, it would not be able to enter.
As expected, when it reached the 100-step mark, the pressure increased again.
This time, even it found it difficult to walk.
In the distance, the fierce beasts that were full of confidence that the Devil King could enter the waterfall were all dumbfounded. They could clearly see how the Devil King was struggling.
It was only the 100-step mark!
“An illusion, this must be an illusion!” The fierce beasts could not believe it.
How could an invincible Devil King feel the pressure from 100 steps away from the waterfall?
Moreover, that Devil Dweller could reach 15 steps away. Even if the Devil King was under pressure, it would not show it so quickly.
Everyone could not believe it, but it was the truth.
Although it was still night and there were only a few stars, the starlights were not enough to brighten up the world, but everyone could see clearly. There was no problem. They could all see clearly, and the Devil King was truly struggling.
At the 80-step mark, the Devil King’s body was trembling.
The Devil King was still holding on at the 70-step mark but from its expression, it was obvious that it was not strong enough.
In the end, the rock sparrow did not enter the waterfall as everyone had expected. It stopped 50 steps away from the waterfall, and it could not take another step forward.
This was already its limit.
It was not much different from the second-to-last time when the Devil Dweller was here to snatch the Dripping Blood Stones.
Nonetheless, when the Devil Dwellers came again after that, he could already reach the 15-step mark.
What did this mean…
These ferocious beasts suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that the strength of the Devil Dwellers was even greater than that of the Devil King of Plum Mountain? Was he also a Devil King?
‘Impossible!’
‘Absolutely impossible!’
Those fierce beasts instantly threw this inconceivable thought out of their minds.
The snake-shaped ferocious beast said with an unsightly expression, “That guy must have some special ability that can resist the pressure. That’s why he can go so far.”
“Yes, it’s probably some treasure. If the Devil King gets that treasure, it can surely enter too.”
The Devil Dwellers and the Dark Ferocious Beasts were opposing existences. The relationship between the two was similar to that between the Ancient Shamans and the Ancient Demons.
Due to the balance of power, on the surface, they seemed to be able to coexist but in fact, the conflict had become increasingly serious.
The ferocious beasts would never believe that the Devil Dweller dressed as Ancient Devil Warrior was even stronger than the Devil Kings.
There must be other reasons.
On the other side, the rock sparrow also retreated from the waterfall. After leaving the pressure area, he let out a long breath.
He looked at the waterfall with astonishment.
‘Could this be the training hall of some ancient Devil God?’ The rock sparrow thought to itself.
With its strength as a Devil King at the moment, the other Devil Kings certainly could not stop it from approaching 50 steps away from them. Only a legendary Devil God could do it, and it could not be an ordinary Devil God.
Only those Devil Gods that existed in the legends.
The rock sparrow’s eyes were filled with excitement.
It hurriedly transmitted its voice back to the Plum Mountain and told everything it saw to its second elder sister, just like a child who had discovered a novel toy.
Ancient Devil Gods had long disappeared and no longer existed in this world.
This was something that every top-tier powerhouse in the Fallen Land knew. There were no records of the sudden disappearance of that prosperous era. This discovery might be a great opportunity for them.
What Dripping Blood Stone vein? At this moment, all of it was thrown out of the rock sparrow’s mind. Compared to an ancient Devil God’s training hall, this was nothing.
“Devil King.” Seeing the rock sparrow walk over, the white eagle said carefully.
The rock sparrow came back to its senses and nodded. It praised, “You did well. After I enter and get those Dripping Blood Stones, I’ll reward you with some of them.”
“Thank you, Devil King.”
The ferocious beasts had happy expressions as they hurriedly bowed. They were afraid that the Devil King would not admit its debt after getting the Dripping Blood Stone vein. After hearing the promise, they also became excited. With the Devil King’s promise, there was no need to worry at all. A lord of such a level would be able to keep its word. If word got out, it would definitely be able to do it.
“That said, now isn’t the time. This mine is too strange, and the pressure is great. My strength is the weakest in Plum Mountain, so I can’t enter for now. Wait until my second older sister comes here tomorrow and enters the waterfall. At that time, you’ll be rewarded,” the rock sparrow said.
“Sir, we’re not in a hurry.” The fierce beasts were full of smiles.
It was said that there were 3 big kings in Plum Mountain and that they were the kings of a nearby territory. This king should be ranked third.
From the words of the rock sparrow, these fierce beasts also determined its identity.
The rock sparrow scanned the surroundings and asked, “White Eagle, didn’t you say that this place was occupied by a Devil Dweller? Why is there no trace of him now?”
White Eagle’s body trembled, and it hurriedly said, “Sir Devil King, that guy is very cautious. I don’t know where he usually hides but every time the waterfall erupts, he’ll come here on time and take all the Dripping Blood Stones that rushed out of the waterfall.”
Saying this, White Eagle’s face twitched. Its strength was not bad. Previously, it could grab one or two stones in a few days. After knowing that the Devil Dweller had come here, more than a month had passed, and it still had not managed to snatch a single stone.
The white eagle said again, “Sir, you only need to wait until tomorrow afternoon. By then, you’ll be able to see that fella.”
“That’s good. I’ll wait here. I really want to see which Devil Dweller is so bold!” The rock sparrow’s eyes carried a trace of coldness.
“Devil King, I have news to report.” Among the beasts, a black Snake Demon crawled over and said while lying on the ground.
The rock sparrow lowered its eyes and asked indifferently, “What is it? Tell me.”
“Sir, that Devil Dweller can enter within 20 steps of this waterfall. We guessed that he has a treasure that can resist the pressure. Sir, why don’t you…” The Snake Demon hated Ou Yangming to the bone.
It was one of the few powerhouses here. When Ou Yangming did not come here, it could grab the Dripping Blood Stones almost every one or two days. When the young fellow came here, he cut off its source of income.
Hearing this, the rock sparrow was shocked and questioned sternly, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
In an instant, a mountain-like pressure pressed on the Snake Demon’s body. It lay on the ground and nearly fainted.
After a moment, the pressure gradually weakened. The Snake Demon felt the cold gaze beside it, and it said nervously, “It’s true. I can guarantee with my life that the Devil Dweller will walk toward the waterfall every day. Everyone saw it. If you don’t believe me, you can verify it with the other fierce beasts.”
“Sir, it’s true.”
“That Devil Dweller has indeed reached the 20-step mark. We all saw it.”
The fierce beasts around also said hurriedly.
“I don’t think you have the guts to lie to me…” The rock sparrow raised its head with a thoughtful look on its face.
It had personally tried it, so it naturally knew how powerful the pressure was. It was very difficult to reach the 20-step mark. Probably only someone like its second older sister could do it.
Although the rock sparrow said that it had just broken through to become a Devil King, it was also an old monster who had lived for a long time. It was very accurate about pressure.
According to the situation where the pressure increased, its second older sister might not be able to enter the waterfall, but it could surely reach the 10-step mark.
Only its big brother had a 100% chance to enter the waterfall. Unfortunately, its big brother was still in seclusion.
‘Could it be that the Devil Dweller is as strong as Second Elder Sister?’ The rock sparrow pondered.
It recalled the experts in the nearby territories, but there did not seem to be any Devil King with the same strength as its second older sister.
‘Could it be that it’s really like these fierce beasts said, where that guy only has a treasure? If that’s the case, if I get that treasure…’
After thinking for a while, it decided that it would stay here no matter what the reason was. At least with its speed, even if the other party was a Devil King and was stronger than it, it would be impossible to catch up to it. Since the other party could not kill it, there was nothing to worry about.
