The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Under the cover of night, the Fantasy Sea becomes even more mysterious. The waters glow a faint blue under the moonlight, and all kinds of exotic marine creatures swim through them, forming a beautiful underwater painting.

Ye Nanhe and Hu Xingtong activated the invisibility talisman and quietly left the trench they were hiding in. Their goal was to reach the other side of the Fantasy Sea, where there was said to be an ancient ruin that might contain valuable treasures. Even if no Taoist cultivators could use them, it didn't matter. If they found something suitable, they could sell it to Zuoya.

The two moved quickly on the seabed, trying their best to avoid possible demons and other dangerous creatures.

Just as they were approaching their destination, a strong wave suddenly came from the bottom of the sea, shaking the entire sea. Ye Nanhe and Hu Xingtong stopped immediately, knowing that this wave was not normal.

"Be careful, there may be powerful creatures nearby." Ye Nanhe warned in a low voice, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Hu Xingtong nodded, and she took out a piece of glowing coral that she picked up from the roadside from her storage ring to illuminate the surrounding environment.

At this moment, a huge black shadow slowly rose from the depths of the seabed. The shadow was so huge that it almost occupied the entire field of vision. Ye Nanhe and Hu Xingtong's expressions instantly became solemn.

"What kind of monster is this?" Hu Xingtong asked in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Ye Nanhe shook her head. She didn't know what kind of monster this was.

The two immediately activated their lightness talismans and prepared to flee. However, at this moment, the huge black shadow suddenly let out a deafening roar, shaking the entire seabed.

"Oh no, it discovered us!" Ye Nanhe shouted, and her body turned into a stream of light and rushed straight to the sea.

Hu Xingtong followed closely behind, her speed just as fast as lightning. The two of them quickly shuttled across the seabed, trying to escape the huge black shadow.

However, the shadow was even faster, like a streak of black lightning, chasing closely behind them. Its body was enormous, and every movement it made brought about a huge current of water, making it difficult for the two to maintain their balance.

Ye Nanhe and Hu Xingtong struggled forward. Their speed had reached the limit, but they still could not escape the pursuit of the black shadow.

At this moment, Ye Nanhe's eyes suddenly fell on a crack in the seabed. She knew that this was their only chance of survival.

"Xingtong, follow me!" Ye Nanhe shouted, and her body suddenly changed direction and rushed towards the crack.

Hu Xingtong followed closely behind, and the two of them nimbly passed through the crack. The huge black shadow followed closely behind, but its body was too large to pass through the crack at all.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the black shadow hit the edge of the crack, shaking the entire seabed. But in the end, it was unable to pass through the crack and could only roar angrily outside.

Ye Nanhe and Hu Xingtong breathed a sigh of relief, but...

Hu Xingtong looked at Ye Nanhe thoughtfully, recalling that in the ten years when she had gone out to train with her senior brothers and sisters, she had basically never encountered such a situation of being chased by monsters. But now, she had experienced it twice in one day, which was really hard to describe.

After a night of trekking, the two finally arrived at the ancient ruins. The ruins were hidden in an underwater forest, with huge stone pillars and statues looming in the sea, giving it a sense of vicissitudes of time.

"Is this the relic?" Hu Xingtong asked softly, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Ye Nanhe nodded, a gleam in her eyes. "Yes, but be careful, maybe..." Before she could finish her words, Ye Nanhe was covered by Hu Xingtong's mouth. She didn't know if it was her own illusion, but every time Ye Nanhe said there was danger and needed to be careful, a monster would appear in the next second. It was like a gate was opened.

“Sister Ye, don’t say be careful of danger. We always encounter danger after you say it.”

Releasing his hand, Ye Nanhe smiled a little embarrassedly and jokingly said, "You are the same as Sihe. When I took her through training, she also liked to say this. Did you two get along?"

Hu Xingtong smiled and retorted: "I didn't. If I had used Qi, I wouldn't have been chased by the monster twice."

Hearing this, the two of them smiled at the same time.

"Let's go in." Ye Nanhe said in a low voice, looking at the ruins behind him, with a hint of expectation in his voice.

Hu Xingtong nodded and looked at Ye Nanhe's back. She always felt that this time she had gained something different from going out with Ye Nanhe. Normally, she would not think that Ye Nanhe was an adventurous person, but this time, it seemed that this person did have some adventurous nature.

The two carefully entered the passage. The interior was dark and winding, with all kinds of strange runes flickering on the walls, emitting a faint light. At first glance, it didn't look like a relic from this world, but rather like a scene from a real-world TV show.

As they went deeper, the space inside the passage became increasingly wider. Eventually, they arrived at a vast underground space. In the center of the space lay a massive pool, emitting a faint blue light. The air was filled with a rich spiritual aura. Clearly, this pool was another spiritual spring.

"There is a spiritual spring here!" Hu Xingtong said in surprise. He obviously didn't expect that there would be a spiritual spring with such rich spiritual energy in the place marked on the map.

Ye Nanhe nodded, a gleam in her eyes. "Lingquan, we still have to be careful..." Before she finished her words, a huge black shadow suddenly rose slowly from the pool.

Hu Xingtong looked at Ye Nanhe helplessly. It turned out that his mouth was indeed blessed.

The shadow slowly rose, revealing its true form. It was a giant sea serpent. As expected, the small horns on its head spoke for themselves. The two were incredibly lucky; this was a spirit snake on the verge of transforming into a dragon.

As usual, Hu Xingtong turned on the scanning eye, and this time he got specific information: Bi Lin Snake (early stage of transformation into a dragon), late Nascent Soul strength, physical strength: True Yuan Realm (vulnerable stage of Qidong Realm).

Fortunately, the snake is at a weak stage.

"Sister Ye, wait a moment. Don't move the snake that has transformed into a dragon." Although the snake in front of him made Hu Xingtong feel uncomfortable, his junior sister liked it. If possible, he could take it in as a spiritual pet for his junior sister, or let it be the spirit of his junior sister's weapon in the future, which would also make his junior sister happy.

"Xiao Wuzi, do you have a way for me to communicate with this Bilin Snake?"

[The snake that transformed into a dragon is very proud. Are you sure you want to try?]

"Junior Sister is missing a spirit weapon..."

[Okay, okay, I'll pass it on to you.]

A warm current surged in his mind, and then the special language of the monsters automatically emerged in his mind. This feeling was very wonderful. He had thought about the ability to communicate with small animals before, but now that he really had it, Hu Xingtong felt like he was dreaming.

Looking at the giant in front of him, he felt much more at home. He opened his mouth and tried to speak, and sure enough, the first thing he said was an unfamiliar language: "Hello..."

Hahahaha, so embarrassing...

However, the sea snake seemed to understand. It tilted its head in confusion, hissing its tongue out, and responded, "Oh no! You're disturbing me!"

Ha, this big snake is quite gentle and didn't scold her right away.

"We didn't mean to do this. We hid in here because someone was chasing us outside. I see you're not in good shape right now. Do you want to help?"
