Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2153: The Eel and the Snake Island

Just like Long Xiang said, the group didn’t encounter any problem. They didn’t even meet a small fish. Zhao Hai also received some of the river water to be analyzed by the Space. He expects that the river water was toxic, thus it couldn’t be inhabited by beasts. But to Zhao Hai’s surprise, the water wasn’t toxic. The water was even quite nutritious. This confused Zhao Hai.

At this time, Zhao Hai felt something fast approaching in front of him. This incident wasn’t discovered by his normal spiritual force but instead by the golden spiritual force. Zhao Hai immediately stopped and then said, “Everyone, be careful. Something is coming.”

As soon as Zhao Hai said this, he found that Long Xiang had already waved his hand to stop everyone. Then Long Xiang turned his head and gave a nod towards Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai nodded back to Long Xiang. He discovered that Long Xiang also found out that something was approaching. This showed that Long Xiang’s spiritual force was very formidable. At the very least, Long Xiang’s spiritual force was much stronger compared to others.

Before long, the others also felt that something was approaching. They couldn’t help but be alert. On the other hand, Zhao Hai kept his calm. He discovered that Deng Wen and the other people who had experience with the underground world weren’t nervous. This meant that what was approaching wasn’t dangerous.

Before long, Zhao Hai saw what was approaching. It was a beast in the shape of an eel. But compared to ordinary eels, this beast was ten meters thick. It had large canine teeth that made it look far from friendly.

When the huge eel saw Long Xiang, it immediately swam over with its mouth open. Besides Deng Wen and the others who had been here before, only Zhao Hai remained calm. Zhao Hai dealt with all kinds of beasts. He found that the eel wasn’t trying to hurt Long Xiang. On the contrary, the eel looked happy.

Sure enough, when the eel swam next to Long Xiang, it rubbed its huge body on Long Xiang. Long Xiang also patted the eel’s body before he looked at everyone and ordered, “Let’s go and follow this big fellow.”

Everyone nodded and followed behind the huge eel. Although they weren’t afraid of running out of breath after several hours of traveling, traveling in water is more difficult than traveling on land. They were beginning to feel tired.

The huge eel turned its body and formed a huge water tunnel. Long Xiang immediately followed the huge eel with everyone closely behind.

Before long, Zhao Hai and the others discovered a very long underwater tunnel. The walls of the tunnel were very smooth. The eel looked comfortable inside the tunnel; it was as if it was its home.

Moreover, people discovered that the tunnel was heading upward. After a while, there was light. It didn’t take long before everyone realized that they arrived in an underground lake. They were moving towards the lake surface.

The lake was covered by a huge cave. Everyone looked around the cave and saw that there were traces of people inside.

While everyone was in a daze, Long Xiang said, “Alright, come on shore and rest. This place is a secret base that the Long Clan established. After many years, it remained hidden. It’s very safe.” Long Xiang immediately stepped onto land. The rest of the group hastily followed behind him.

After everyone got on land, Long Xiang took out several luminous pearls and placed them on the walls of the cave. There were indentations on the walls that perfectly fit the luminous pearls.

Although the pearls provided light in the cave, it wasn’t enough to light the entire cave. Nevertheless, it was enough for people to rest.

Only when there was light did people notice that they were on a platform that was dug out by hand. Although it was next to the underground lake, the platform was very dry.

After everyone sat down, Long Xiang said, “If anyone is confused, let me explain. The huge eel that we just saw was raised by the Long Clan. It is placed here specifically to protect this waterway. This waterway is one of the Long Clan’s most important channels in the underground world.”

Now people understand the situation. It wasn’t only Zhao Hai who was confused by the lack of beasts in the river. Upon seeing the huge eel, they quickly knew why.

Nobody has the mood to think how the Long Clan raised such a huge eel in this place. In any case, the eel’s presence meant that the island was very safe. People began to meditate to recover their energy. They wanted to restore their bodies to the best state they can.

After resting for about four hours, everyone re-entered the river and swam along.

Five hours after everyone entered the river, they saw light up ahead. At this moment, Long Xiang said, “Everyone, pay attention. We are about to exit the river. Outside is a lake with a small island in the middle. We call the island Snake Island. It’s full of poisonous snakes. But we can still rest on the island. After that, we’ll enter the territory of the Ghost Shadow Sect.”

Everyone stared. They didn’t expect that they would go through the Ghost Spirit Sect’s territory this quickly. Now they were entering the territory of the Ghost Shadow Sect. 

Long Xiang looked at everyone and said, “We’re going to act after entering the territory of the Ghost Shadow Sect. This place isn’t too far from our target. But we still have to travel for two days. The road will be chosen by me. Alright, pay attention, depart!” As soon as Long Xiang’s voice was heard, everyone felt the pressure on their bodies lighten. They had appeared on the surface of the lake.

At this time, the huge eel swam next to Long Xiang and rubbed against his body. Then it flipped its tail and returned to the underground river.

The group swam along the surface of the lake before they saw an outline of an island in the distance. The island wasn’t very big. But with how long everyone has spent in the water, any land was welcomed. Everyone swam faster and before long they reached the small island.

When the group reached the island, Long Xiang suddenly said, “Halt!” Everyone was stunned for a moment before stopping. Then they saw Long Xiang wave his hand. Several droplets of water appeared in his hand which were divided into a thousand drops. Each person had a drop of water on their body. Only then did Long Xiang say, “Don’t go recklessly onto the island. If you go like this, who knows if you’ll survive or not.”

People immediately understood Long Xiang’s words. They couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. The temptation on land was too great, so they wanted to go on land as soon as possible. But as soon as they stepped foot on the island, they felt their body becoming immobilized. Even if they used their techniques, they remained static.

At this time, Long Xiang and the others arrived on the island. Zhao Hai was following closely behind them. When he saw the situation on the island, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be surprised. He quickly understood Long Xiang’s point. There really were a lot of poisonous snakes on the island.

There were trees growing on the island, but there were even more rocks. Whether it be the trees or the rocks, there were snakes everywhere. The snakes were large or small, thick, thin, bright, or dark colored. The number of snakes was so big that nobody could count them in one glance. Anyone who saw this scene would feel their scalp numb.

Long Xiang looked at those who stepped on the island first and smiled faintly. Then he turned to Deng Wen and said, “Old Wen, don’t you think that the kids are getting more and more impatient? Do you remember the last time we came here?”

Deng Wen looked at the scared cultivators and said, “A bit more patient than them.”

Long Xiang laughed, then he turned his head and said, “There’s no need to be afraid. You have been smeared with snake liquid. The snakes will treat you as their own. Even if you lie down and sleep, they won’t bite you.”

As soon as they heard this, everyone began to calm down. Then they looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Anyone could see the strength of the snakes; it wasn’t wrong for them to be afraid. Not only were the snakes numerous, but some of the snakes have also reached the Teleportation Stage. 

Although they knew that the snakes wouldn’t do anything to them, the newcomers were still wary of the snakes. Everyone found a place to sit down close to the shore.

Long Xiang looked at the newcomers and couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Among the newcomers, only those from the Imperial Beast Sect dared to approach the snakes. The people from the other sects didn’t dare get close to the snakes. Long Xiang discovered that the cultivators were becoming more and more timid.

At this time, Long Xiang discovered a person getting near to the snakes. The person wasn’t walking quickly, but they didn’t have any wariness in their approach. Conversely, they looked like they were walking around their backyard. This person was Zhao Hai.

Long Xiang saw Zhao Hai’s appearance and couldn’t help but stare. Then he smiled faintly. His impression of Zhao Hai was already very good. And now, Zhao Hai didn’t disappoint him. Out of everyone, only Zhao Hai dared to get so close to the poisonous snakes.

Zhao Hai didn’t pay attention to the gazes of the others. He approached a rock with a huge colorful snake beneath it. The snake was curled into a bowl as though it was sleeping.

But when Zhao Hai approached, the snake raised its body and hissed. Seeing this, Long Xiang’s expression couldn’t help but change. He immediately shouted, “Little Hai, be careful. You have entered its territory. It might attack.” The others also looked at Zhao Hai. Some were secretly worried while some were happy.
