The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 608 The Water and Fire Mirror is Inside the Fish's Belly?

No sooner had Zhou Wuyuan finished speaking than Jia Quan Hai and Qu Xuehua announced similar bounties, each afraid of falling behind.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men. As soon as the three bosses spoke, all the cultivators present went crazy.

Immortality!

Everyone knows that entering a blessed land only means increasing one's lifespan to a certain extent. However, if one cannot join a sect to obtain the methods of cultivation, one will always remain at the bottom. But joining a sect changes everything!

Become a cultivator, gain a long life, and embark on the path to immortality!

Everyone returned to their posts and began frantically breaking ice.

The entire lake is now down to just one small area. Whoever digs a little more will have a higher chance of finding the Water-Fire Mirror.

All the teams moved forward in unison, full of energy.

As Lin Chen dug, he discovered that on his right was Han Yunfeng, the patriarch of the Han family. The old man was putting all his effort into breaking ice, looking very energetic.

They dug for half a day, and the frozen lake grew smaller and smaller. As darkness fell, Han Yunfeng on the right suddenly exclaimed, "There's something in the ice!"

All eyes turned to a rather large dark shadow in the ice, which, judging from its position, should be in the center of the water.

"It should be a fish, right?"

"If it were a fish, it would probably be seven or eight meters long, that's huge."

"There are treasures here, so it's not surprising that something strange happens."

The people around were surprised, but they didn't make much of a fuss. After all, they all knew that the Water-Fire Mirror they were looking for was a bronze double-sided mirror with a diameter of about 30 centimeters. This thing was most likely to be at the bottom of the lake or in the silt, so it was unlikely to be floating in the water, nor could it be the black shadow in front of them that looked at least seven or eight meters long.

Han Yunfeng unleashed a punch, shattering the ice peak, and the enormous black shadow fell out, landing in front of everyone.

"It really is a fish!"

"What a big fish!"

"This fish must be seven or eight meters long. How many years would it take for it to grow that big?"

"It's practically a spirit now, isn't it?"

"Shall we stew him for dinner tonight?" Everyone chimed in with their opinions. Lin Chen was watching the commotion from the sidelines when a thought suddenly struck him.

This lake freezes for half the year every year, and all kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs must freeze to death.

Every September, the ice melts, the lakes recover, everything comes back to life, and the fish grow anew. The time until the ice freezes again in March is only six months.

How can a fish grow this big in just six months?

Water and Fire Mirror!
This is the only explanation.

Lin Chen subconsciously sensed the spiritual energy around him, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
From the moment this fish appeared, it was like a radiation source, its entire body frantically radiating spiritual energy, especially its huge mouth, which was spewing out large amounts of spiritual energy like a whale fountain.

No matter how much spiritual energy a fish absorbs or how big it grows, it all goes into its body. It can't be like a spiritual energy absorber that keeps spewing spiritual energy out. So there's only one explanation left!
There's something inside the fish's belly!
It's not the fish that's frantically spewing out spiritual energy, but rather the thing inside the fish's belly that's frantically spewing out spiritual energy!

This fish was able to grow so big in six months because of this thing inside its belly.

Lin Chen's heart suddenly pounded violently. Although he was still unsure what was inside the fish's belly, it was most likely the Water-Fire Mirror that everyone was looking for!

The Water-Fire Mirror was swallowed by the fish!
Lin Chen instantly understood many things. Why were they digging here while the people from the three blessed lands just stood on the mountaintop watching and not getting close? It was because they were all certain that as soon as the Water-Fire Mirror appeared, a huge amount of spiritual energy would be emitted, causing an anomaly, which they would naturally see.

The Water-Fire Mirror is currently inside the belly of this large fish. The fish's body is blocking the outflow of spiritual energy. Although spiritual energy is gushing out of the fish's mouth, a large amount of spiritual energy is also dissipating due to the large amount of ice breaking. Therefore, it does not appear powerful for the time being, but if we wait a little longer, it will probably attract their attention.

Lin Chen focused intently on sensing the spiritual energy and quickly located its source.

Do you want to take action?
Lin Chen hesitated for only a moment before making his decision.

Since Heaven has delivered the Water and Fire Mirror to me, wouldn't I be letting down Heaven's good intentions if I didn't take it?
Moreover, it was Han Yunfeng who unearthed the Water-Fire Mirror!

If I don't steal the Water-Fire Mirror, I will inevitably be discovered soon, and the Han family and others will be absorbed into the Dongyue Taishan Grotto-heaven. Wouldn't that be terrible news for me?
I am a mortal enemy of the Han family!
I'm currently in disguise. As long as I steal the Water and Fire Mirror without anyone noticing, who would know it was me who did it?
Even if I knew that my strength was already at the peak of the Innate Grandmaster level, who would I be afraid of?
We can always just run away!

Lin Chen made a plan, then slowly squeezed into the crowd and walked to the middle of the fish.

"This fish is huge! If it were made into sashimi, how many people could eat it..."

Lin Chen pretended to say this, making a gesture as if he wanted to stroke the fish's body, but then he tripped heavily and exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Lin Chen pounced directly onto the fish. His right hand seemed to grab forward hastily, but it was like a sharp knife, and his entire right arm pierced into the fish's body in a flash.
