Chapter 875: Floating Dust Sea
After the Lord of Mirror Lake was gone, the young man looked at the group of six hiding in the snow and called out, “It’s safe. You can come out now.”
The young man was, of course, Ye Qing.
The reason he came to Mirror Lake Peak was to collect the Endlessly Durable Water. Three days ago, after escorting Feng Qingyou to Mirror Lake City and settling her in, he immediately came over in search for the Endlessly Durable Water.
It took him three days, but he finally found the Endlessly Durable Water at the bottom of the Mirror Lake.
That was the good news. The bad news was that the bottom of Mirror Lake was where the Lord of Mirror Lake resided. There was no avoiding this fight as even a human would fight to protect their home to the death, much less a beast.
So, they fought. It ended in his victory as a matter of course.
The Lord of Mirror Lake was worshiped as a god by ginseng harvesters and many others, but in fact, it was a Stranger named the Ripe Lake. A Ripe Lake was a Disaster-class Stranger with a tiger’s head and a horse’s body. A silver horn grew out of its head, and it was covered in azure-colored scales. It detested noise and preferred to live in quiet, secluded lakes. It was quite rare.
Ripe Lake was an auspicious beast and human friendly. Its territory was protected from all Strangers and evils, and the lake it resided in could eliminate diseases and strengthen the body thanks to constant exposure to its aura. That was why it was beloved by all humans.
Ripe Lakes were extremely rare, and they usually resided in uninhabited places where human traces were few, if not non-existent. On top of that, it was friendly toward humans as well. That was why some humans called it a god or a divine beast.
