Chapter 1027 - 1127: A Tiger Blocking the Road

Ye Tianfan felt that the Spiritual Power within his body had mostly recovered, so he knew that he was now able to survive underwater indefinitely!

Then Ye Tianfan looked at the Demon Beast circling around him and quietly asked, "Can you understand what I'm saying? Can you help me find an exit, the kind that leads out?"

Although Ye Tianfan was not sure if it could understand him, he knew that this Demon Beast had some intelligence. Even if it didn't reach human levels, as long as he expressed himself clearly, the beast should understand what he wanted to convey!

To Ye Tianfan's surprise, this Demon Beast seemed to understand what he wanted to say, and swam off in a direction, waving its fin to signal 'follow me'.

Ye Tianfan promptly followed the beast, and this time, his speed was not as slow as before. He could move at any speed he wished since the Spiritual Power within him was ample enough to splurge!

Moreover, Ye Tianfan wasn't engaging in combat; it was merely the minor application of Spiritual Power. With the Treasure Lotus continuously replenishing his Spiritual Power, Ye Tianfan could squander as much as he wished, as long as it remained replenished by the Treasure Lotus. This meant he could stay here for a thousand years.

Of course, the precondition was that Ye Tianfan could withstand the loneliness. If he were to stay for a thousand years, he might ascend right at the spot.

Ye Tianfan followed the beast through twists and turns, wielding the Treasure Lotus whose seeds emitted light. Despite lacking the aid of Divine Sense, he avoided all obstacles along the way!

Eventually, Ye Tianfan reached the entrance of a cave with the Demon Beast leading the way. The beast turned around, circled, and occasionally put on a fierce appearance, but refused to enter further.

Ye Tianfan looked puzzled at the beast, twisting and adopting a ferocious demeanor, wondering what it was doing. Suddenly, he thought that perhaps there was an issue ahead, which the beast was trying to describe!

Ye Tianfan asked the beast with uncertainty: "Do you mean there's trouble ahead? Is there a more powerful, fiercer Demon Beast blocking the path in the cave?"

The beast nodded quickly on hearing Ye Tianfan's question and once again put on a fierce expression.

Ye Tianfan nodded at the beast's indication, realizing that it understood human speech, making future communication much easier. There is indeed a huge difference between a demon that understands human speech and one that doesn't!

Since there was a beast blocking his way, Ye Tianfan was unwilling to accept this, not wanting to remain here forever.

However, Ye Tianfan refrained from rashly entering the cave, lacking auxiliary support from a Magical Treasure, which would reduce the effectiveness of any technique.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan couldn't utilize Vibrating Power underwater as it might agitate the waters.

This could also cause the stone walls to collapse, potentially burying Ye Tianfan beneath them.

Most importantly, Vibrating Power may alter the original path outward, confusing the beast guiding him.

Ye Tianfan circled the entrance of the cave and found no other exit or hiding places around!

Thus Ye Tianfan leaned his head inside the cave to see what the beast inside was like, but he didn't encounter any beastly figure. The cave was deep, and the inner areas were dark, with the only light source being the Treasure Lotus in Ye Tianfan's hand!

It seemed he could only go in and investigate slowly!

Ye Tianfan thought to himself and then turned to the guiding beast and said, "Wait here for me. I'll go in to check what kind of Demon Beast is inside."

Unexpectedly, after his words, the guiding beast shook its head vehemently and wagged its tail!

Ye Tianfan couldn't understand what the beast was conveying, so he looked at it with a puzzled expression!

The guiding beast saw Ye Tianfan's confusion and revealed a trace of helplessness before swimming to an open space not far away!

Ye Tianfan was surprised to see a kind of human-like helpless expression on the fish-like Demon Beast's face!

Ye Tianfan didn't know what the beast was up to and watched its movements closely!

Then Ye Tianfan saw the beast flick its tail, appearing instantly a short distance ahead of him.

Ye Tianfan was taken aback by the beast's speed and asked it somewhat amazedly, "Are you saying you want to come along, and that your speed is fast enough not to worry, and they can't catch you, right?"

After Ye Tianfan spoke, he saw the beast nod vigorously.

What more could Ye Tianfan say in that case? Thus he gestured to the beast to follow him.

Ye Tianfan then led the beast slowly into the cave. It seemed more like the beast was leading Ye Tianfan, helping him avoid dead ends!

Thanks to the bright light from the Treasure Lotus, Ye Tianfan had a visibility range of twenty to thirty meters. He could dodge or retaliate even if attacked by unseen beasts.

Ye Tianfan followed this creature down many forked paths, stopping at one where the guiding beast halted and pointed inside with its fin.

Stopping alongside it, Ye Tianfan saw the beast pointing fin toward the passage, so he asked: "Is this where the Beast blocking the way is? And this passage is the necessary path leading to the exit?"

The beast wildly nodded and then swiftly pointed its fin towards the passage.

Seeing the beast's persistent indication, Ye Tianfan confirmed that resolving the issue with the beast behind the passage increased his chances of returning significantly!
