Chapter 1186: Chapter 254: Calamity Clan, Great Dream Nine Abysses (10,000-word update)_4

Li Hao turned around and went downstairs, saw the waiter approaching, he casually pointed upstairs as a gesture, and then left the tavern.

About thirty minutes after Li Hao left, the elder who was upstairs drinking and eating extravagantly noticed something amiss, swept his Divine Thought around, and his eyes suddenly widened, seeming to sober up considerably.

“Where’s that stinking brat?”

At this moment, the waiter came before him, respectfully saying: “Sir, would you like to settle the bill?”

Elder: “…”

So you never refuse others a drink.

No wonder he’s so generous, turns out I’m footing the bill?

He was furious, almost jumping up, having wandered around for years, only to be tricked by a little kid.

“Good good good, don’t let me run into you again.”

The elder said angrily.

Then, under the waiter’s eager smile, he blew his beard and glared, reluctantly pulling out a pouch of Immortal Stone from his sleeve, which was almost all he had left.

“Achoo!”

Strolling to the edge of the square, Li Hao sneezed, rubbed his nose, muttered a bit, and then glanced around.

Most people were gathered around the Heart Inquiry Tower, while this place was relatively quiet, with a small mountain, atop which sat a figure.

This hill was low, less than a hundred meters, level with the tavern.

Under the majestic Heart Inquiry Tower, it looked like a low dirt mound.

Li Hao smelled a whiff of liquor, followed the aroma to the hilltop, and saw an elder in a silver-gray long robe, casually leaning against a greenwood tree, gazing towards the cliff-like deep valley at the square’s edge.

There, clouds and mists drifted, seemingly ever-changing.

At that moment, the elder took a sip of his drink, the aroma spreading, then sealed the bottle, raised the large pipe held in his left hand, took a couple of puffs, and gently exhaled a mist towards the cliff-like deep valley.

It seemed that the expanse of clouds there was all condensed from his exhalation.

Li Hao glanced twice, his eyes slightly focused, then showed a hint of surprise.

He stepped forward to the edge of the hill, strained to look, and finally confirmed that there are invisible hidden threads within the mist, those threads gather and disperse unpredictably like laws, seemingly attracting something.

“Senior, are you fishing?”

Li Hao looked down at the elder, then felt a bit rude, so he squatted down.

The elder puffed on the large pipe, and upon hearing Li Hao’s words, the smoke he exhaled obscured his face, making his expression vague and indistinct; his voice was as cold as an ice knife under the eaves, yet at this moment his tone was rather calm, saying:

“You can see it?”

Li Hao smiled and sat down, saying: “I’ve got a rough idea.”

“Is that so?”

The elder turned his head, his gaze fell upon Li Hao’s face, Li Hao sensed that the elder seemed to seriously scrutinize him, from head to face, from hair to eyes, including the fine pores on his face.

“Holding the rod in the lake, yet not the angler.”

The elder turned away, no longer looking at Li Hao, his eyes tranquil like a deep lake, said: “There are nine dragon sparrows here, see if you can hook one.”

“Dragon sparrows?”

Li Hao was surprised and curiously asked: “What level of cultivation, what strength?”

“Afraid?”

“An angler never fears.”

Li Hao’s expression immediately hardened, an angler only fears the catch isn’t big enough, never fears casting the line.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and pointed, immortal power condensed like silk, Original True Intent infused, leaping into the mist.

He used hidden threads to explore the mist, searching for the dragon sparrow traces the elder mentioned, but within the mist, it seemed extremely calm, without any fluctuations or signs.

Li Hao’s eyes showed doubt, could it be that the elder was making it up?

He glanced at the elder before him, feeling the elder was indeed fishing, so this was likely not nonsense.

He didn’t think much more, fishing is all about patience.

He sat cross-legged, quietly fishing, silently feeling the changes within the mist.

Meanwhile, the elder’s wrist suddenly trembled, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Mine is already hooked.”

While speaking, the hidden thread flicked from his fingertips suddenly condensed from loose, and then pulled straight, extending deep into the mist, beyond Li Hao’s perception.

Suddenly, as if a giant thing was stirring, a terrible fluctuation shook through.

Li Hao sensed changes in the mist, his expression slightly changed, peering intently, his heart also lifted.

Although he wasn’t the one who personally caught the prey, there was still a sense of secretly cheering for the elder.

Soon, the mist suddenly scattered, and a black dot flew out.

Li Hao initially thought it would be a gigantic creature thousands of meters big, but the catch turned out to be a silhouette a few meters long, with golden scales like feathers, shaped like a sparrow, with a dragon-like tail, sharp claws, and dragon head, exuding divine authority and power.

The elder raised his hand, enveloped by the Heaven and Earth Space, and contained it, without causing much commotion.

Yet Li Hao faintly felt that this dragon sparrow had extreme brute strength, capable of easily killing ordinary True Immortals.

“Mine is already hooked, it seems yours has some way to go.”

The elder kept the dragon sparrow, glanced at Li Hao, and said with a light chuckle.

Li Hao said: “I’ve just arrived.”

“Yes, you’ve just arrived, but I’ve been here for a long time.”

To this statement, the elder showed a recognized expression, nodded, then patted Li Hao’s shoulder, saying: “Seeing your technique, your fishing skills are strong.”

“Simple understanding.”

The elder laughed heartily, took a puff of the big pipe, inhaled and exhaled, said: “Take your time fishing, this old man will head back, it’s been a bit noisy lately, really can’t get a good night’s sleep.”

With that, he wobbly stood up, his spine hunched, and shakily walked off carrying the wine jug.

Only then did Li Hao notice, he limped a bit while walking.
