The next morning, the sun was high in the sky.
Stepping on the morning sun, Li Mo arrived at the Deacon Hall.
The hall was empty, with only three or four people choosing missions. It was very deserted.
Li Mo walked up to the silver jade wall and sized it up. His gaze was fixed on the last mission list on the first row. It seemed to be newly pasted.
[Mission: Head to Cloud Dream Lake and help the Lu Family find the lost ship.]
[Details: Cloud Dream Lake is covered in fog all year round. There is a dangerous place called the Nine Winds and Eighteen Bends. There are many demon beasts in the water, and there are also underwater whirlpools. It is extremely dangerous.]
[Mission Difficulty: 5-star silver rank.]
[Mission reward: 12,000 spirit stones.]
"Isn't the Cloud Dream Lake at the border of the Country of Fire? It's not close to here!"
Li Mo had heard of the Cloud Dream Lake. It was said that this lake had existed for three thousand years.
In the beginning, it was just a small lake at the foot of the Cloud-Dream Mountain. Later on, it was hit by a huge earthquake, and everything within a thousand miles sank into the ground. After three thousand years of rainwater irrigation, it formed the Cloud-Dream Lake today. Now, the Cloud-Dream Lake was covered in fog all year round. It was easy to get lost when flying on a sword. People had to go in and out of the Cloud-Dream Lake by water.
In the early days, the Cloud Dream Lake wasn't dangerous, but now it was extremely dangerous. It seemed that the earthquake had released the ancient demon beasts underground and occupied the entire Cloud Dream Lake, causing some fish and shrimps that weren't demon beasts to mutate and become members of the demon beasts.
There was a large island in the center of the Cloud Dream Lake, called Cloud Dream Island. A tribe lived on the island. It was the Lu family that assigned missions. The Lu family had a long history and lived on Cloud Dream Island three thousand years ago. They knew that there were many demon beasts in the Ancient Water Lake, but they never thought of leaving. They had always lived there.
However, there would occasionally be some geniuses on the island who were unwilling to be left out. They would leave the Ancient Water Lake and come to the bustling area, making a name for themselves. It was said that there was an inner sect disciple from the Lu family of the Cloud Dream Island in Cold Wind Valley.
Without thinking too much, Li Mo tore off the mission slip and left the Deacon Hall.
At the foot of the mountain, a streak of sword light dashed towards the north.
……
Eight days later.
Li Mo arrived near the vast Cloud Dream Lake.
Coincidentally, there was a dilapidated small restaurant on the shore. There were four big black words written on the plaque that had fallen off.
Xiangshui Restaurant!
Li Mo descended from the sword light." It took eight days to get here. It's really far.”
"Immortal Master, you're going to the Ancient Water Lake, right? Why don't you come in and rest for a while?" When the waiter saw the guests flying down from the sky, he greeted them warmly.
He nodded." Have a drink and rest.。”
"Alright, this way please!"
The restaurant was more dilapidated than he had imagined. The walls were mottled, the surface of the table was rough and uneven, and even the chairs were pieced together. It looked very shabby.
After choosing a chair that was pleasing to the eye, Li Mo sat down and ordered a few dishes and a pot of wine.
While they were eating, the sound of sword light came from outside the restaurant again.
"Our luck is pretty good today. We have guests again.”
The waiter immediately perked up.
After a while, a young man in green walked in.
" You're a Golden Sun inner sect disciple. Are you going to Cloud Dream Island on Cloud Dream Lake?"”
"Not bad." Li Mo could tell that the other party was an inner disciple of Cold Wind Valley.
"Then you don't have to go. The Lu family's matters should be handled by the Lu family.”
Li Mo raised his eyebrows." You're a disciple of the Lu family.”
"The 167th generation disciple of the Lu Clan, Lu Chengfeng.”The green-skinned young man sat down at a table opposite Li Mo.
"I'm sorry. Since I've accepted the mission, I'll try my best.”
Li Mo had no intention of giving up on the mission.
Lu Chengfeng sneered." I'm just reminding you that the Cloud Dream Lake is isolated from the world. It's always covered in fog, so there's no direction to go or a boat to cross. There's a 450-mile waterway from here to the Cloud Dream Mountain Island. If you're not careful, you'll be dragged into the water by demon beasts and die without a whole corpse. The twists and turns are even more dangerous.”
"There's danger in everything you do.”
The two of them didn't have any conflicts. After all, not every Cold Wind Valley disciple was so arrogant that it was annoying.
……
On the shore of Cloud Dream Lake, the water was surging and sparkling. At a glance, it was like a line of water.
Lu Chengfeng glanced at Li Mo and took out a piece of wood from his storage ring.
The log was sent flying for more than a hundred feet, leaving a trail of white water on the surface of the lake. It was extremely fast, but Lu Chengfeng was even faster. Before he could do anything, Lu Chengfeng had already stepped on the log before it fell into the water. He rode the log as if it was light as a feather, and it soon became a small dot.
"Use wood as a boat."
Li Mo nodded and looked around. Soon, a small forest appeared a few hundred meters away. There were many trees that were thirty to forty feet tall.
Sword light flashed, and a large tree fell.
Li Mo was afraid that he would be attacked by demon beasts on the way and lose the wood, so he cut down a dozen more logs. Each log was thick and weighed hundreds of pounds.
Li Mo did the same thing when he reached the shore. He threw the log out and stood on it.
The scenery on both sides quickly retreated and soon disappeared into the fog.
The wooden block had already lost its momentum. Li Mo activated his spiritual energy and shot it out from behind the wooden block, turning it into a power source.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Although he did not manage to catch up to Lu Chengfeng and stumbled along the way, he managed to lock onto Lu Chengfeng with his powerful divine sense and did not lose his way. Other than that, he could enjoy the scenery in the lake by stepping on wood.
……
After half a day, Li Mo finally saw a large, lush island.
The island was circular and surrounded by winding mountain roads. On the top of the island, other than a mountain peak, there were continuous ancient buildings.
With a bitter smile, Li Mo muttered to himself,""Lu Chengfeng should have arrived long ago! After all, he's more familiar with the Ancient Water Lake than I am, so he can avoid some dangers in advance.”
Shaking his head, Li Mo activated his spirit energy and the wood under his feet moved forward at an even faster speed.
Li Mo didn't fly up the mountain after he got on the island. It wasn't polite.
Following the small path, Li Mo came to the main road of the mountain. There were four men guarding there.
"Who are you?" The yellow-faced man shouted coldly.
"I'm an inner sect disciple of the Golden-sun Sect. I'm here for a mission." Li Mo cupped his fists.”
"What proof do you have?" The other party asked.
Li Mo thought of the inner disciple token and quickly took it out and threw it into the other party's hand.
The man carefully examined it and returned the token after confirming that there was no mistake. He said politely,"Sorry for offending you just now. Immortal Master Li, please follow me up the mountain.”
Li Mo nodded and followed behind.
