Chapter 1468: The Idea of a Sweeping Capture

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1468: The Idea of a Sweeping Capture

Upon hearing Ye Yun’s words, Yu Lingfei’s face suddenly flushed red.

Ahem...

The master probably thinks I don’t have the ability to catch the Taiyin Whelk, so that’s why he came down personally.

Thinking this, Yu Lingfei felt a bit ashamed. After a brief silence, she slowly said, "Master, you don’t need to do anything, I’ll try first."

"Alright."

Ye Yun chuckled.

He then looked around, searching for the hiding place of the Taiyin Whelk.

Perhaps luck was on his side.

Quickly, Ye Yun discovered a Taiyin Whelk within a valley three hundred feet away.

This Taiyin Whelk had much of its body hidden in the sand and rocks, only exposing a sharp spiral tip.

At the location of the spiral tip, Ye Yun noticed that a small part of the river water was spinning, as if controlled by the spiral tip.

Yu Lingfei’s Divine Sense only reached ten feet and couldn’t see the Taiyin Whelk, so Ye Yun wasn’t anxious and quietly watched Yu Lingfei’s performance with his hands behind his back.

The corrosive river water had no effect on Ye Yun.

He just needed to open a Defense Cover to easily resist it.

A Divine Sense range of ten feet was quite inadequate for Yu Lingfei. Due to limited detection, she could only rely on her intuition.

Yu Lingfei hovered down from the mountain and began searching carefully, advancing hundreds of feet without finding any trace of the Taiyin Whelk.

"How about... changing direction?"

Ye Yun subtly indicated a direction, smiling slightly.

"Okay, Master."

Yu Lingfei blushed again, feeling that this nearly blind and aimless search was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But there was no alternative.

The compression of Divine Sense at the bottom of the Wrong Death River was too severe; everyone who descended to the riverbed had to rely on luck to search.

Recalling the conversation between the burly man and the tall and thin man at the dock, Yu Lingfei understood the importance of luck.

The two individuals had the same cultivation base. One harvested ten Taiyin Whelks, while the other only managed to obtain three.

The difference was huge.

Yu Lingfei also discovered that the tall and thin man seemed injured and would need to heal for a while before he could continue searching for Taiyin Whelks.

Thinking of this, a shadow unconsciously crossed her heart, and Yu Lingfei’s confidence wasn’t as strong as before.

She mainly feared that if her luck wasn’t good, the master would end up getting nothing by staying with her.

Obediently following the master’s instructions, Yu Lingfei flew several hundred feet in another direction and suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief as she spotted a Taiyin Whelk not far away.

Because there were hardly any creatures at the riverbed.

Therefore, once a Taiyin Whelk popped out, it was easy to spot.

"Is my luck really this good? Finding a Taiyin Whelk so quickly..."

Yu Lingfei couldn’t help but smile internally. Without hesitation, she reached out to grab the Taiyin Whelk.

Buzz!

The spiral tip of the Taiyin Whelk moved slightly, followed by an impressive rush of water spinning like an arrow and shooting over.

The speed was faster than Yu Lingfei’s attack.

Reacting too late, Yu Lingfei could only watch as the water arrow hit the outer layer of her light cover.

Sizzle...

A sound that made one’s teeth ache echoed.

The corrosive power of this water arrow actually exceeded that of the river water in the Wrong Death River.

It easily corroded a hole in the light cover.

Though the water arrow had weakened, it hadn’t lost its momentum.

Ye Yun reached out and halted the water arrow in mid-air.

"Ah..."

Yu Lingfei then reacted and swiftly swung a sword, knocking the water arrow away.

Swoosh...

The Taiyin Whelk not far away seemed startled, its shell rapidly spinning and abruptly vanishing into the water.

"Master, this Taiyin Whelk fled so quickly!"

Yu Lingfei sighed.

She continued flying forward for a while but couldn’t find any trace of the Taiyin Whelk again.

She was quite discouraged.

Originally, Taiyin Whelks were challenging to locate and exceedingly difficult to catch, and the recent lesson of a water arrow taught her well.

Now, to catch another Taiyin Whelk, Yu Lingfei thought it might take her at least ten days to half a month if luck was exceptionally good.

If luck was poor, it could take months without any yield.

"Haha, don’t worry, watch me catch this little guy!"

Ye Yun patted Yu Lingfei’s fragrant shoulder with a carefree smile, then drifted off in a direction.

He had memorized the escape path of the Taiyin Whelk.

Yu Lingfei obediently followed Ye Yun.

She wasn’t worried about whether the master could catch the Taiyin Whelk; in her heart, the master was incredibly strong.

Such a minor Taiyin Whelk was just a piece of cake for him.

After flying out for several hundred feet.

Ye Yun glanced in a certain direction, a hint of a smile on his lips.

This Taiyin Whelk was somewhat cunning, changing directions after fleeing over two hundred feet in its original direction and then immediately shifting positions another hundred feet.

Most people’s Divine Sense couldn’t detect it at all.

However, Ye Yun’s Divine Sense covered several hundred feet, forming a large radiation area, with the Taiyin Whelk entirely under his control.

"Freeze!"

Extending a finger, Ye Yun launched the Stasis Technique.

As the Taiyin Whelk leisurely lay on the sand and rocks, it was suddenly immobilized.

With a large hand, Ye Yun summoned the Taiyin Whelk over.

"Master, you caught this Taiyin Whelk so easily!"

Yu Lingfei giggled.

"It was quite easy, but catching them one by one can be troublesome..."

Ye Yun chuckled, grabbing Yu Lingfei’s arm and floating upwards.

Before long.

The two of them flew out of the river and returned to the Nether Boat.

Yu Lingfei was dumbfounded.

Was catching one Taiyin Whelk enough for the master?

If the intention is to reveal the divine manifestation of the Temple of Death God, surely having a hundred or eighty Taiyin Whelks would be essential!

Yu Qingshuang came over, touched the Taiyin Whelk, and smiled, "Brother Yun, you caught a Taiyin Whelk so quickly?"

"Yes."

Ye Yun nodded.

"Master, why aren’t you continuing to catch Taiyin Whelks at the riverbed?"

Yu Lingfei couldn’t help but voice her doubts.

"I want to gather all the Taiyin Whelks in the Wrong Death River; doing it myself seems a hassle, so I might as well find a way to resolve it all at once..."

Ye Yun said with a smile.

What?

To gather all the Taiyin Whelks in the Wrong Death River?

Yu Lingfei was stunned.

If the master did this, it would be a grand scale move, wouldn’t it?

"I want to see who this Lord of Death really is... so I must prepare a substantial gift for him. This gift must be so lavish that it will compel him to wake up from his slumber no matter what..."

Ye Yun smiled faintly.

Upon hearing these words, Yu Qingshuang and Yu Lingfei were astonished, like petrified statues.

While the two women were in a daze.

The Taiyin Whelk in Ye Yun’s hand vanished, as a strand of his Divine Sense took the Taiyin Whelk into the Divine Pet Warehouse.

As they say, a master should utilize skills to control adversities.

Ye Yun aimed to find a Divine Pet in the Divine Pet Warehouse that excelled at catching Taiyin Whelks.

"Wow, Master finally came!"

"Haha, Master is here!"

"Master, I’ve missed you so much, you finally arrived!"

"..."

Upon entering the Divine Pet Warehouse, infinite darkness lit up with terrifying lights—these were the eyes of some Divine Pets.

All the Divine Pets were in a frenzy.

Upon seeing the master appear, they all rushed over, surrounding Ye Yun tightly.

Ye Yun coughed once, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.

This bunch of little fellows were on the verge of going crazy, weren’t they?
