The Adventures Of The Young Master

"While I did say that it's the most cautious, I didn't say that it's impossible to lure him out. Just like I said, we need to bait it with something that it can never resist." Jin Rou laughed. A scheme was already brewing in his mind.

"And what is that bait?" Sylvianna couldn't think of any. Those paragons already had almost everything including wealth and heaven defying treasures that could wreck the world.

"You'll see when the time comes." Jin Rou smiled, "But for now, I will deal with something first."

Jin Rou was heading to the extreme north of Northern Queen Region, it was where the abnormal tides of the sea was happening. No one knew the exact reason, and Jin Rou wanted to confirm his speculation.

By the sea, there was a tall cliff. Jin Rou was at the top as he observed the vast sea with multiple high tides at the same time. It ravaged the wall with a strong impact. Although it's not enough to destroy those walls, it's enough to kill a mortal here.

Sylvianna observed the sea too and found it really abnormal. Usually, waves like this should go one after another. But here, waves and waves were hitting the walls at the same time.

"This sea is said to be uncrossable. But the truth was no one is capable enough to cross this sea." Jin Rou said. Then he floated above the sea waters and started walking.

"Have you seen the other line of this shore?" Sylvianna asked. It was said that even top emperors of Mortalis couldn't manage to be three steps further of this sea yet Jin Rou walking it as if he was in a park.

"What do you think?" Jin Rou answered the question with another question.

"I guess that's a dumb question." Sylvianna shrugged her shoulders. This walk on the not-so-calm sea waters already gave her the question. Who would be daring to actually venture on this place? Remember, even the strongest emperors couldn't walk away far from their shore.

Jin Rou and Sylvianna had been walking for a few days now, and but they couldn't see yet the other line of the shore. Or was there even a shore in the first place? Since this sea was said to be uncrossable, then no one perhaps saw what it's like here.

But the good thing was, the sea waves here were a lot calmer than the previous. After all, they were bombarded with heavy storms and waves this past few days.

The bad news was they were like in the middle of nothingness. In short, they're lost. Or so she thought.

"Don't tell me we are lost." Sylvianna asked. Her voice had a hint of nervousness, "I don't wanna rot in an ocean with no one to interact with but you."

"You have been interacting with no one but me, though." Jin Rou chuckled, "But calm down. You will see something soon enough."

After another day passed, Sylvianna was about to complain again when she saw something horrifying by her sight that she almost blurted out a curse.

A mountain of corpse was floating in this middle of nowhere. Judging by how large the corpses and skeletons were, these existences might be a clan or race that could threaten the world.

"What is this?" Sylvianna asked. She had no idea how come a mountain of corpses was here. To estimate it generously, the corpses must be in between 5,000-8,000 large corpses.

Furthermore, judging by their aura, they must be stronger than any of the emperors in Mortalis.

In actuality, the killing intent of these corpses were rather strong but with Jin Rou's protection, she couldn't feel it. If she did, her legs must be trembling by now. Despite her age, she was still a young girl with limited knowledge of the world.

Jin Rou entertained her question and responded, "They are from the Alpalakala Race of a very distant epoch. They are the predators of this vast sea for many eons, but as you can see, they met their bitter ends."

The Alpalakala Race was a mythical existence that had been recorded by a very few sects and clans in Mortalis. But the knowledge about them was very limited and restricted thus they were just treated as a myth.

It was rumored that hundreds of them would be enough to kill the an entire region of Mortalis unless the Epoch Saints of the central came to the rescue.

Just like the Overlord Paragons, they were a race that shouldn't be existing in Mortalis thus they could only live in the sea. Just imagine how strong they were, but they were all still killed here right in their turf.

"Who could possibly kill such existences comparable to the paragons?" She asked. Her expression was changing. If ever the Alpalakala could venture out of the sea in the past without facing tribulations, Mortalis would have fallen under them. Of course, unless the god intervened.

"Who knows?" Jin Rou smiled. Sylvianna wasn't yet qualified to know about this thus he ignored it, "But if I dare to compare your family and their race during your prime, I guess your family can win against a thousand of them though many of your members will die. It will be a bitter battle."

"Just a thousand of them?" Sylvianna didn't doubt Jin Rou's words.

"It's not just. Dealing a thousand of this race is already more than enough to prove your power." Jin Rou shook his head, "Your family was once the strongest and would have been the still case if not for being stupid."

Sylvianna wasn't pleased with the words but he had a point. She had to accept the fact their family committed a foolish mistake which resulted to grave consequences.

"So what will you do here facing these mountain of dead bodies?" She decided to change the subject.

"What do you do when you see tombs?" Jin Rou smiled.

"You want rob them?" She was stupefied. He was actually planning on robbing these terrifying dead bodies of a mythical race?
