Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 171: Ch 171: Bait

This Nether Water Herb can be used to break through above Purple Crystal Soul Master and even strengthen their soul to a certain degree. If the Soul Master’s Soul Mark is water-attributed, a Soul Master could awaken another Origin Skill.

A Soul Master like Emrys who doesn’t have a water-attributed Soul Mark, he can refine the Nether Water Herb and obtain one or two drops of Nether Water which can revitalize the body and soul, heal wounds, and restore consumed energy. Moreover, Nether Water can temporarily enhance a Soul Master’s power level temporary as well.

But it also has side effects. It may cause a Soul Cultivator’s soul to be tainted with dark energies, transforming him or her into a Soul Demon from Soul Master. Of course, something like this is very rare to occur.

What holds the most value in Emrys’s eyes were the one or two drops of Nether Water he can obtain after refining this herb. Even if he doesn’t use these drops of Nether Water, he can sell them at an astronomical amount of credit.

This was the main reason he decided to obtain the Nether Water Herb in the first place. Now that it was in his hand, he inspected it a little before putting it away.

After that, he looked at the Abyssal.

When the Abyssal noticed Emrys’s gaze, he tried his best to hide the shock in his heart and pull the corners of his lips to make a gratifying smile.

Emrys: "..."

To him, that smile was worse than crying. Most importantly, the smiling Abyssal looked even more terrible and ugly than a blobfish.

"Thank you for saving my life!" The Abyssal said in a hoarse voice.

Emrys: "?"

Emrys’s expression turned strange. He robbed the abyssal of his deformed sword, he took away the Nether Water Herb that this abyssal wanted, and the Abyssal was still thanking him.

But it was understandable. He did save this Abyssal’s life, after all.

"Young man, can you give me back my sword, and if possible, give me that herb you took away just now? It is not of much use to you, but it can help me a lot. I truly need it. Don’t worry, as long as you give them back to me, I’ll repay you after I recover." The Abyssal was worried that Emrys would not give him the things he wanted, so he emphasized the words repay.

Emrys kept looking at the Abyssal for a while and finally opened his mouth, "How will you repay me?"

The abyssal did not expect Emrys to ask this question suddenly. Generally, the words repay are used to promise a future favor or obligation. However, at this moment, the Abyssal felt a weight behind Emrys’s words, as if Emrys’s words carried a deeper meaning.

Abyssal felt that he was being played by this young man. His heart immediately started to burn in anger. Nonetheless, he still maintained the smile on his face since he was in need of Emrys’s favor, and asked, "Could it be that you want something from me? Tell me what you want, and I promise to give you the thing if I have it."

"Hmm..." Emrys appeared as if he was thinking hard for something, and suddenly asked, "Do you know where I can find the Sunfire Heartseed?"

"The Sunfire Heartseed?" The Abyssal’s heart skipped a beat as if he thought of something terrible and hurriedly shook its head in denial. "No, I don’t know!"

Emrys immediately caught the little change that appeared on the abyssal’s injured face and asked curiously, "Really? You truly don’t know?"

"You have to believe me, I truly don’t know!" Abyssal replied.

Emrys hesitated for a moment. He sized up Abyssal before shifting his gaze to his hand that was holding the deformed sword. He said, "I think this sword likes to eat the Abyssal Energy. I think it has yet to eat its fill. You might help it a little!"

Abyssal Energy?

When the Abyssal heard these two words, his expression changed greatly. He realized at that moment that Emrys was aware of his race. Emrys knows that he was an Abyssal from the very start.

"No!"

Before the Abyssal could react, Emrys pierced the sword in the Abyssal’s abdomen, causing the Abyssal to scream in terror.

Emrys clearly felt the deformed sword’s excitement as it started devouring the Abyssal Energy forcefully from the Abyssal’s body and blood.

The Abyssal was already injured, it could not withstand such terrible torture for a long time. Emrys knew this and pulled the sword out of the Abyssal’s body.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

The Abyssal started to gasp for breath. It was already weak, but it weakened even further after the deformed sword devoured most of its Abyssal Energy from its body.

"Will you tell me now?" Emrys asked again.

Not wanting to experience the same thing again, the Abyssal nodded his head and explained, "Since you know that I’m an Abyssal, you must know that Abyssal like me could not get close to places with fire and pure vitality the most. Only those high-ranking Abyssals could go to such places and cause trouble."

"There is a Blazing Pond twenty miles away in the east. You can find the Sunfire Heartseed in the hands of a high-ranking Abyssal there. But you must know that Abyssal is not someone you can go against. In your human words, he is already an Eleventh Step Abyssal."

An Eleventh Step Abyssal!

Now this information gave Emrys a surprise. He also did not expect the Sunfire Heartseed to be in the possession of an Abyssal.

But...

"What is an Abyssal doing by taking away the Sunfire Heartseed? I don’t think Abyssals can use the Sunfire Heartseed!"

The abyssal nodded his head with difficulty. He said, "Yes, we can’t, but we can always hunt other creatures and humans like you who come in search of treasures like the Sunfire Heartseed."

Emrys immediately understood what the Abyssal wanted to express. These Abyssals use treasure like the Sunfire Heartseed as bait to fish creatures and humans. As for what they do after fishing them, it is very obvious.

"The border is already so dangerous. What kind of danger exists in Level 2 areas?"

Emrys sighed and could not help but mutter inwardly.
