Gao Han got closer and realized that the entrance to the cave was not as dark as it looked from above. There was a soft light coming from inside, and small groups of light gathered together to form a strong light. If it hadn't been deliberately blocked, the strong light would have come out long ago.

"I think we may have accidentally found the treasure trove of swallowing eels." Gao Han raised his head.

Zhongli Tingzhou walked behind him, saw the light inside, and smiled meaningfully, "It should be the treasure house of their leader."

If they were not rich, it would be difficult for them to find this place.

It is neither far nor close to the base camp of the Devouring Eels. After falling into the lake, ordinary spirit refiners have no extra energy to look for treasures.

Once something happens here, the devouring eels in the base camp will react immediately.

But they never expected that Gao Han used the formation to temporarily block the fluctuations here.

Only spiritual weapons and array weapons can do this. If it is a magic weapon or array weapon, it will be discovered immediately.

Fugui, who couldn't wait any longer, dived into the small cave.

He pounced on those shiny crystal cores, eating them almost one at a time, and soon ate several.

Gao Han carried it out, and Fugui immediately picked up a few crystal cores with his claws and brought them out together.

"You can eat as much as you want when you get out, but just bear with it for now."

Then he said to Zhongli Tingzhou, "Do these swallowing eels like crystal cores so much? Where can they collect so many?"

Gao Han dug up the crystal cores in the cave and found a pile of them like a small hill. These must be the result of numerous mutated creatures with awakened intelligence.

Zhongli Tingzhou found some things that looked like bones around him. "I'm afraid most of them were soul refiners who were dragged to the bottom of the lake by the devouring eels."

The bottom of the lake was littered with the corpses of soul refiners. Some were still fresh bodies, while others had been dragged down by the devouring eels before they arrived, having died not long ago, and some had already rotted.

However, without exception, all the things these corpses had carried with them during their lifetime were emptied out by the devouring eels.

In addition to these crystal cores, there are also some miscellaneous things.

Gao Han didn't look at it carefully and put them all into the Yayoi Ring.

"Let's go, it's time to find the Devouring Eels at base camp."

Gao Han removed the formation equipment and the smell of blood dissipated quickly.

As the two were getting farther and farther away from the cave, the roar of the Devouring Eel King came from deep in the lake.

There were also waves of sound coming from the water.

After hearing this, Fugui rehearsed the content of the sound waves, divided the spirit beads evenly into several piles, and sent out several team leaders to radiate from the cave to the surrounding areas, with two teams heading in the same direction.

This direction is exactly where they are, but it can also be guessed. After all, after they have dug up the opponent's lair, they must run away, and there are only a few routes.

"I have a suggestion. Can you feel the strength of this Devouring Eel King?" Gao Han turned around and asked.

"It's at least level twelve." Zhongli Tingzhou said confidently, "It should be no problem to defeat it."

Gao Han believed that he would not joke at this juncture. "In this case, let's lure this swallowing eel to the land. I will go up and set up the trap, and you lure it up."

"Okay." Zhongli Tingzhou roughly knew what he wanted to do and supported his decision unconditionally.

Gao Han left wealth to him.

Zhongli Tingzhou refused. "I feel more at ease if it follows you. We just need to lure the Devouring Eel King up. We don't need it to show us the way."

Gao Han hesitated for two seconds, "Okay, then you should be careful."

The two men split into two groups.

Gao Han used Fugui's hand to shake off the devouring eels that were chasing them and returned to land.

He took out six spiritual tools from the Yayoi Ring.

These six spiritual weapons represent his current highest level of weapon refining. Using the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, he separated the spiritual weapons into five attributes representing gold, wood, water, fire and earth. The remaining one is the core of the formation and has no attributes.

A spiritual weapon without attributes is rare, but he still doesn't know how he refined a spiritual weapon without attributes.

He once saw a kind of formation tool in a book on formations. This kind of formation tool used the five elements to set up the formation and required spiritual tools with multiple attributes, but the center of the formation had to be a spiritual tool without attributes.

This spiritual weapon without attributes actually combines multiple attributes together.

It is difficult because almost no instrument master can successfully refine multiple properties together.

Gao Han put away his messy thoughts and quickly looked for several optimal points for setting up the array. He buried the spiritual weapons with five attributes and placed the array eye without attributes at the midpoint.

After all this is arranged, all that remains is to wait for Zhongli Tingzhou to lure out the Devouring Eel King.

Gao Han stood at the edge of the lake where he had been dragged to the bottom of the lake, watching the water surface go from calm to slowly shaking, creating circles of ripples.

With a whoosh, countless black tails emerged from the water and attacked him.

Gao Han wielded the sharp blade, wielding each black tail softly. The black tail left the body, jumped for a moment, and then lost its breath.

The tail-broken swallower eel broke through the water and bit down from the top of his head with its sharp teeth.

The extremely hot flames, like throbbing fire snakes, quickly wrapped around each eel. Within a few seconds, these eels were burned into unagi, exuding the aroma of barbecue.

Fugui took the opportunity to grab a piece of eel meat and ate it, but immediately spat it out, leaving his mouth full of the taste of carbon.

More and more eels are dying at the foot of the high cold.

These devouring eels will only obey the orders of their leader, even if it means death, they would rather die than rush into a flame.

The ground then shook violently, and the ripples on the water surface became bigger and bigger, causing waves.

There was a loud bang.

Two figures rushed out from under the lake, blasting the surface of the water with the force of an atomic bomb.

In the sky, in addition to Zhongli Tingzhou's agile figure, there is also the huge figure of the mutated Devouring Eel King, which blocks half of the sky.

Before the mutation, the swallowing eel could reach up to 1.8 meters in length. After the mutation, its body grew tenfold.

The sunlight was blocked outside the body, and night seemed to come early.

Zhongli Tingzhou followed Gao Han's instructions and landed heroically in the formation he had set up.

The Devouring Eel King followed closely behind, but its body was too huge. When it hit the ground, the huge earthquake scared away all the birds living in the wetlands. A large group of mutated birds flew away into the distance, forming a huge crowd.

The Devouring Eel King did not become unable to move after leaving the water. After a while, he stood up shakily.

This devouring eel king had already evolved limbs.

The tough and powerful tail pierced the air, making a sonic boom sound of friction, and pierced towards Zhongli Tingzhou at lightning speed.

Zhongli Tingzhou curled the corner of his mouth, dodged the attack from the Devouring Eel King's tail, and slashed down with force with a flash of sword in his hand.

There was a hint of contempt in the Devouring Eel King's tiny eyes. Its tail was its greatest weapon of attack. Not only was it sturdy, but its speed was so fast that even its shadow couldn't catch up, so it was impossible to cut it easily.

While thinking this, it did not notice that the array devices arranged by Gao Han around it had been activated.

The power of the five elements was injected into the center of the formation, forming an extremely solid cage.

The narrow space instantly suppressed the movement of the Devouring Eel King. Its tail hit the array wall and bounced back, hitting the sword light.

The Devouring Eel King thought its tail was extremely hard, but it broke into two pieces in an instant, and blood splattered into the sky.

The Devouring Eel King roared, coming from its gigantic scissor-shaped mouth, with such force that it easily uprooted the grass on the ground.

Gao Han was outside the formation, somewhat worried about Zhongli Tingzhou, but he remained calm and appeared above the Devouring Eel King's huge body in an instant. A black gas wrapped around the sword and pierced into the Devouring Eel King's eyes, and the black gas went through the eyes and into its body.

"roar!"

The Devouring Eel King's other little eye opened wide in pain, and his body rolled on the ground. Every time he rolled, the ground shook.

The array device was hit by its broken tail and made a crackling sound, and its energy was consumed at an extremely fast rate.

This Devouring Eel King was at least level twelve and was extremely powerful. After a few collisions, the formation device was broken.

Zhongli Tingzhou's sword light left more and more scars on its body.

These scars were stained with traces of black air, which were corroding and devouring the flesh and blood of the Eel King.

Soon, the Devouring Eel King's violently rolling body calmed down and lay motionless by the lake. Only the slowly rising and falling of its body indicated that it was not dead yet.

"What kind of ability do you have? What is this black air? It is so corrosive." Gao Han walked to Zhongli Tingzhou.

Zhongli Tingzhou said seriously: "I have only cultivated this much of my ultimate moves."

高寒不仅没解惑，还一头雾水，“什么绝招？修炼出来的是一团黑气。”

钟离庭洲伸了个懒腰，“事情是这样的，很久很久以前，有一个俊美无双的少年，他天资聪颖，气宇轩昂，有一天半夜走在路上，突然被雷劈……”

高寒打断他的话，“你要真被雷劈了，我一定会很高兴。”

钟离庭洲郁闷道：“为什么？你就这么希望我被雷劈吗？”

高寒淡淡地说：“听说被雷劈有一定的机率可以让白痴变聪明。”

钟离庭洲眨眼问：“宝宝，你在变相的暗示我是白痴吗？”

高寒惊讶地看着他，“我都说得这么明显了，怎么可能是暗示。”

钟离庭洲叹气，“你变了，以前你不是这样子的。”

高寒说：“大概近朱者赤，近墨者黑吧，人总是会成长的。”

钟离庭洲明亮眼眸闪过一丝笑意。

两人一同把这头吞噬鳗王处理了。

高寒从它的脑袋里挖出一颗光芒特别明亮的晶核，十二级的晶核，他也是第一次见到。

吞噬鳗王一死，它的手下就疯狂了，争先恐后从水里跳出来送死。

两人杀了一波又一波，脚下的尸首堆积如山。

一个小时后，吞噬鳗终于不再从湖底跳出来。

吞噬鳗身上没有多少可以用来炼制法器的东西，只有肉还不错，比赤电鱼还要好，只是数量太多，高寒便挑了一些级别高的。

“吞噬鳗王的尸骨可以收起来。”钟离庭洲对高寒说。

高寒以为他指是炼器，“也好，日后说不定可以把骨髓提炼出来，鱼王的骨髓应该有用。”

钟离庭洲知道他意会错了，“下面可能还有吞噬鳗，这具鱼王的尸体，可以震慑它们，省得再浪费时间。”

高寒惊讶地转头看他，“你怎么知道我还要再下去？”

“因为我是你老公。”钟离庭洲骄傲地挺了挺胸。

高寒自动略过不想听的，“你就不好奇，我为什么要下去吗？”

钟离庭洲一脸‘我很体贴’的表情：“等你想说的时候，自然会说，作为一个完美的伴侣，我是不会逼你做不想做的事的。”

高寒挑眉，“你对完美两个字是不是有什么误解。”

钟离庭洲说：“没有呢。”

高寒呵呵，“还记得我之前说过要找你算账的事吗？”

钟离庭洲一脸惊讶，“有这回事吗，我怎么不记得了，你是不是记错了。”

“没有，我还记得你说我勾三搭四，现在事情结束了，我们正好可以掰扯一下，我哪里勾三搭四，今天要是不给我一个说法，我保证你从这儿走不出去。”

高寒说完，钟离庭洲就抬头看了看天，淡定地问，“看什么？”

“看看今天什么时辰了，我还有多少时间可以活。”

高寒闻言踹了他一脚，“没跟你开玩笑，说，你怎么会拥有白衣时的记忆？穿白衣时的你，又为什么会没有黑衣时的记忆，你要是说出来，我就拿一个秘密跟你交换。”

钟离庭洲掰着手指思索，这个交易到底划不划算，“你先跟我说，这个秘密和什么有关。”

高寒十分淡定，“和我的性命有关。”

钟离庭洲立即道：“成交，那谁先说，不如你先来？”

“你先来，我信不过你。”高寒毫不掩饰自己对他的怀疑。

钟离庭洲撅起嘴，“你这话伤害我了……”

高寒冷笑，“我要是说出来，你给我来一句不划算，就不说了怎么办，谁让你黑历史太多，嘴里没几句真话，机会只有一次，你要是不说，以后别想我再告诉你。”

“别呀。”钟离庭洲唉声叹气，“我只是开个玩笑嘛，我先说就我先说。”

高寒抱臂等他说。

“这个故事很长……”

“那就长话短说。”

“好吧，很久很久以前，我生了一场大病……”
