With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods - Chapter 1339: In front of them

Chapter 1339: In front of them

The ones that were watching from above didn’t move when they arrived in this place.

Instead, they all watched each other with wary looks as they waited to see if anyone would make a move. But there wasn’t a single person that made a move since they knew the fate that awaited them if they did.

The moment that they made a move, it would mean that they would be surrounded by the others that were also watching.

Even if they were able to obtain that item, it would be hard for them to keep it when surrounded by these disciples from the other sects. Especially since they were disciples from the Five Great Sects.

Among the ones that were watching were faces that Lin Fan and Han Ba would have recognized.

These were core disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect that were also competing for this thing.

All of them just watched as they surrounded the place where the energy deer lived.

Though it didn’t seem like they were able to find the item that was spawning the energy deer.

They tried their best to find that item, but there wasn’t a single trace of where it could be.

Until all of a sudden, the energy deer seemed to have noticed something and ran off together. Though when they did this, everyone looked confused since the energy deer were running in a direction that didn’t seem like it would benefit them at all.

The place that the energy deer lived in was a pond under a waterfall.

It seemed like a silent clearing that didn’t have anything in it, but they soon realized that this wasn’t the case.

As for where the energy deer were running, it was right into the waterfall that fed into the pool. It seemed like they wanted to slam themselves into the waterfall, as if they weren’t afraid of the water pouring down from it.

However, the moment that the energy deer slammed into the waterfall, everyone here understood why they did this. It seemed like they had done this on purpose because they knew that there was something behind it.

When the energy deer hit the water, it seemed like they were absorbed by the water.

Though when one looked closely, they could see that the energy deer had merely turned into wisps of energy that were moving through the water. Once they reached a certain point, it was as if they had disappeared.

Everyone knew that this wasn’t the case.

For the energy that they turned into to disappear like this, it meant that there was something that was hidden behind this waterfall. They had disappeared into some space that was protected by this waterfall.

It was just that no one seemed to make a move even though they knew this fact.

Most of the people that were here were only in the Qi Gathering Realm and there were only a few that were in the Foundation Realm. For cultivators of this level, a waterfall like this wasn’t something that they could easily break through.

For these low tier cultivators, they had to make preparations before they could open up this waterfall and reach the space that was there.

Everyone looked like they didn’t know what to do at first, but then it seemed like they were planning on building camp here. It seemed like they were planning on leaving people here to guard this place and then find someone to break through the waterfall for them.

For these low tier cultivators, that was the only thing that they could do.

For the ones that were in the sky, it didn’t seem like they were willing to wait.

With the item that they were looking for in front of them, they really wanted to get in there as soon as possible and see if they could take it. Even if there were others that were here, it didn’t matter if they could all enter at the same time.

This was the agreement that they all came to after exchanging looks.

Though the ones that they sent forward weren’t actually that strong. The ones that they sent forward to take care of the waterfall were actually just the followers of these core disciples.

They weren’t strong enough that they would pose a threat, but at least they would be strong enough to draw attention while opening up the waterfall.

Even if these low tier cultivators were able to follow them, that really didn’t matter.

After all, there was no telling what was inside of this space that the item was hiding in. So letting them in was beneficial since they could explore this space on their behalf and even act as human shields when necessary.

The people that were about to leave were surprised when they saw these followers suddenly appear. Especially since these followers had suddenly dropped out of the sky and appeared out of thin air.

The followers just ignored them as they made their way over to the waterfall.

It didn’t seem like they were going to act all at once as one of them stepped forward ahead of the others.

Raising a sword, a single slash was all that was needed to stop the water from falling down. It was as if the water that had been coming down from the waterfall had been sent right up into the sky.

This was a kind of power that none of the lower tier cultivators would be even close to matching.

Once the water was sent flying up into the air, that one person walked forward and entered the cave behind the waterfall.

Those that were smart knew that this person had done this on purpose and went forward to enter the cave with them. As they passed by this person who was slowly walking in, they knew that their gamble was correct.

After all, this person didn’t do a single thing to stop them.

It was as if they had even waited for them to come along with them.

Once the force that sent the water up was gone, the other followers made their move.

Each time, they did the same thing where they opened up the path by sending the water out of the way. At the same time, they would also make sure that this path would last long enough that those that had been around them could also go in.

While the people around didn’t know who these people were, they wanted to take this risk because of their greed. They had already come here anyway, so it wasn’t as if there was anything to lose at this point.

That was why they did all that they could to see if they could get anything out of this place.

What no one noticed was that those that had been watching from above had blended into the crowd when no one was looking. With their abilities, it was easy for them to hide themselves among the crowd.

So they entered the cave with everyone else.

When they entered the cave, they couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

After all, what they had been expecting to see wasn’t there. The wisps of energy that the energy deer had transformed into weren’t in this place at all.

They could see that the cave led in much deeper, but they didn’t know what to expect from this cave.

Still, it wasn’t as if they were going to turn back now.

“Sir, please let me follow you!”

One of the low tier cultivators knew that there was no chance of him achieving anything on his own, so he went up to one of the followers and asked to go along with him.

The follower didn’t actually reject this and just gave a simple nod in response.

Seeing this, the other low tier cultivators started gathering around the followers as well.

The followers hadn’t moved deeper into the cave and had just been standing there as if they were trying to figure something out. Though the one thing that they knew was that none of these followers were working with each other.

Every single one of them was clearly working on their own with the way that they spread out, which meant that there were choices for the low tier cultivators.

Those that already had followers wouldn’t gain more since they wouldn’t be able to take a piece of the treasure. That was why in the end, there was a decently even split between them as they all followed different people.

In the end, they were here for treasure and they wanted a piece of it.

Once this split was over, the followers continued forward.

They had even waited for the low tier cultivators to split themselves since they knew what they would do. Since they were planning to use them as human shields, this was actually the best thing for them.

Continuing down the cave, it didn’t take long for them to arrive at the end.

Though when they did and saw that it was just as empty as the rest of the cave, they couldn’t help looking disappointed.

But before leaving, there was something that suddenly happened.

“Watch out!”

As soon as this was said, all of the followers pulled out their weapons to face the things that appeared. Though it didn’t seem like they knew exactly how to deal with it since it was just the deer that were made of energy.

Even if they were to slash through them, the energy deer seemed to gather themselves once more and come at them again.

However, they didn’t back down since they knew that if the energy deer were attacking them now, it meant that they were close.

The energy deer were doing this to protect their home.

So the treasure they were looking for was also here.
