The lake water around the jade pillar was frozen by the Ghost Flame. In the middle of the large lake, a cold ice surface appeared.
After confirming that no other strange fish rushed up, Lin Yan squatted down and carefully observed the White Jade Fire Lotus on the jade pillar.
There were white jade-like roots below the fire lotus that were connected to the jade pillar. Clearly, they were one with the jade pillar.
Each flower was divided into ten to twenty petals. Each petal was the color of white jade. There were fiery red patterns on the tip of the petals, like a ball of burning flames.
At the center of the petals was a lotus seed pod that looked like white jade. Each seed was distinct and densely covered in many emerald green lotus seeds the size of a little finger.
At first glance, Lin Yan found the lotus seeds familiar.
He reached out and picked one up. A layer of green smoke emitted from the lotus seed.
“This is… the Poison Pearl!”
Lin Yan immediately recalled that this lotus seed was identical to the Poison Pearl in the middle of the poisonous stone that he had snatched from the Blood Drop Cave!
The green smoke it emitted was all poisonous fog.

“I just don’t know how it ended up outside.”
Then, he thought about the strange fish that appeared in the Dragon Water Absorption Lake. Could it be that there was a secret channel under the lake that was connected to the outside?
However, this thought flashed through his mind and he threw it aside.
Lin Yan reached out and grabbed the jade root under the fire lotus. He exerted a little force. He did not expect that although it looked like jade, it was actually very firm and could not be broken.
Lin Yan kept increasing his strength until he erupted with force. Only then did he break it with a crisp crack.
“It’s actually so sturdy. It’s indeed a Black Grade Unusual Item…”
That’s right. Lin Yan guessed that this White Jade Fire Lotus was very likely a Black Grade Unusual Item.
This was because the attraction it had to him was at least two to three times stronger than the bead in the Mud Fruit’s body.
Looking at the White Jade Fire Lotus in his hand, Lin Yan first took off all the lotus seeds on it and specially prepared a bag to put them in. Then, he carefully put the fire lotus into an animal skin bag that he had prepared before coming.
Fortunately, he had the protection of the Mud Fruit when he was underwater. His clothes and beast skin bag were intact.
Since the fire lotus was firm, he did not break it. His palm trembled slightly, and the Original Dark Savage Flame rose, turning into a curved sickle.
Then, he grabbed the White Jade Fire Lotus and slashed it gently like cutting rice.
Without any movement, the roots broke off at the root. The cut was smooth and delicate, without any resistance.
Then, he dug out the Poison Pearl and placed the fire lotus.
This continued until there was only one White Jade Fire Lotus left on this jade pillar. Lin Yan stopped.
“Let’s leave one behind. If the people behind come in and find that there are only bare jade pillars in this lake and nothing, they’ll probably be suspicious of me…”
With this thought in mind, he waved his sickle and cut off the broken roots before putting them into his beast skin bag.
It was as if there was only a lone fire lotus growing on the jade pillar.
“This beast skin bag is filled with more than ten fire lotuses. It can barely be covered with Mud Fruits. If it’s filled with ten more, I’m afraid it won’t work.”
If the Mud Fruit could not cover it, once he entered the water and was entangled by those strange fish, the beast skin bag would probably be bitten immediately.
Lin Yan was helpless. He could only pack this bag of fire lotuses first, jump into the water, and swim towards the shore.
Strangely enough, when he swam out of the water this time, he did not attract a large number of strange fish.
There were only three or four strange fish that came up to bite him. They were crushed to death by the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame.
“Are these strange fish afraid of me?”
Lin Yan had his doubts. When he went to the shore, he specially left a Mud Fruit clone here to prevent the Corpse Buddha Cockroaches from gathering again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this moment, he poured out all the fire lotuses in the beast skin bag and placed them under the Mud Fruit’s body. Then, he dived into the water again and swam towards another jade pillar.
At first, it was still very smooth and there was no movement. However, when he approached the jade pillar, the water began to boil again!
Countless strange fish swarmed over and kept biting Lin Yan.
“Those strange fish… Could they be living near the jade pillar?”
With the cooperation of the Spirit-Snatching Demonic Flame and the Ghost Flame, Lin Yan climbed onto this jade pillar without any obstruction.
“These strange fish are entrenched around these jade pillars to guard these fire lotuses?
“But if they needed this fire lotus, why didn’t they jump up and bite the fire lotus when a bunch of fire lotuses grew?
“With their jumping ability, these fire lotuses should have been eaten up long ago…”
When animals occupied a place, it might be their habitat and territory that could not be violated.
Or, there was food in this place, and they were protecting it.
For a moment, Lin Yan did not understand, but his hands were not slow. In no time, the dozen or so fire lotuses on this jade pillar were all put into his bag.
Just as he was about to jump back into the water, Lin Yan suddenly felt a slight tremble under his feet.
In the next moment, the ice that he had frozen suddenly cracked open. A huge black shadow that was twenty to thirty feet long jumped out of the water and swallowed the ice with its bloody mouth.
Before Lin Yan could react, another big fish of the same size charged up and shattered the ice around the jade pillar, turning it into ice fragments on the floating lake.
This time, Lin Yan saw it clearly. This strange fish was in the shape of a shrunken whale. It was completely black, and he couldn’t see its eyes, nose, or other organs. There was only a huge curved mouth like two huge doors..
