Chapter 357 The Great Demon Supervisor Attempts to Pull Out the Arrow

Ten years.

These sirens drank her blood and were fortunate enough to gain sentience, understanding many things they could not comprehend before.

They gradually uncovered the secrets of this underwater fissure and learned how to use it to enhance their own power.

More and more sirens are drinking the diluted blood here. As long as they can endure the painful process and not explode, they can gain power and become stronger.

However, even though they possessed immense power and became perfectly transformed sea monsters, they remained incredibly humble and showed no arrogance before the sleeping beauty.

They worshipped her as their lord, calling her the daughter of the sea god, and led their tribe in worshipping her.

A black arrow is stuck in her heart, and every living being that touches this arrow will die without exception.

Over the years, in their struggles against cultivators, the sea monsters have gradually come to realize the importance of magical artifacts.

They yearn for great power to establish themselves in the cruel underwater world and drive the despicable human cultivators out of the Jinghong Sea.

So they began to covet the black arrow.

She has been lying here quietly for ten years, time seems to have frozen on her body, and even her blood no longer flows.

The sirens had come to regard her as a dead being, and their awe had gradually faded. Their hearts were filled with greed, and they only thought about how to possess that black arrow.

"Go, pull out that black arrow." A siren in human form put away its net, its tone arrogant. "Whoever can pull it out will be our most honored guest and will enjoy the highest courtesy of our siren race!"

The imprisoned cultivators were released, but they had no chance of escape from these transformed demons.

In their despair, they had no choice but to obey the great demon's orders.

Nangong Xue and Yu Yi remained inactive, observing everything with cold eyes.

A strange cultivator, quite bold, stepped forward without fear, preparing to pull out the legendary black arrow.

The jet-black arrow remained silently planted there, unremarkable, without the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy, as if it were just an ordinary object.

Moreover, it had already been pulled out halfway, and it seemed that it could be pulled out completely with just a little force.

However, it was this seemingly easy challenge that made Yu Yi wary.

His gaze was deep as he stared at the black arrow, muttering to himself, "Perhaps it is a divine object concealing itself."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue nodded slightly in agreement.

This underwater fissure is extremely strange, and that black arrow may be the key to all these secrets. Its true power is probably far beyond what people can imagine.

Under the cold gaze of the several transformed sea monsters, the unfamiliar cultivator walked towards the sleeping beauty in white.

His eyes held a complex mix of fear of the unknown and greed for the treasure.

The fact that this black arrow was valued so highly by the great demon speaks volumes about its extraordinary nature. Even though the sea demon ultimately betrayed him and refused to grant him protection, he firmly believed that he could find additional opportunities from this black arrow.

When he finally reached the edge of the black rocky platform, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Then he stretched out a trembling hand and slowly, cautiously approached the arrow that emitted a faint black light.

Those transformed demons held their breath, their eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Nangong Xue and Yu Yi were completely focused, both of them knowing that this black arrow was no ordinary weapon and that it might hold the secret behind the entire Jinghonghai anomaly.

However, the moment the cultivator touched the black arrow, he was immediately blasted away by a powerful force, crashing heavily into the hard rock like a kite with a broken string.

His body instantly became fragmented and lifeless, leaving only a mangled corpse. Everyone fell silent in fear.

Only then did they realize that these blood-red flowers were blooming on the flesh and bones of cultivators, creating a sea of ​​scarlet flowers, but underneath lay a thick layer of flesh and bones.

They couldn't describe how they felt at that moment; the pervasive smell of blood almost made them vomit.

The transformed demons' gazes were like ice, cold and ruthless. They were indifferent to the life and death of the cultivators, their eyes fixed on the mysterious black arrow.

In the eyes of these sea monsters, those cultivators were nothing more than tools to be used by them, to test the black arrows.

Seeing the cultivator's tragic death after failing to pull out the arrow, the transformed demons did not show much emotion, because they had already anticipated the outcome.

"Next!" the transformed sea monster coldly uttered these three words.

His gaze finally settled on Yu Yi and Nangong Xue.

Because they were the most powerful among the group, they naturally became the focus of the sea monsters' attention.

Nangong Xue's heart suddenly raced at that moment. If her senior brother Yu were to try to pull out the arrow... she couldn't just stand by and watch him take that risk and go to his death.

So she decided to step forward and try it in place of Yu Yi.

Although she knew in her heart that, judging from the reactions of these transformed demons, the chances of success were extremely slim.

However, Yu Yi's voice rang out at that moment: "Junior sister, let me do it."

He held Nangong Xue tightly with his only remaining right hand, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.

He knew he was now a useless person, and living was just a matter of prolonging his life. Rather than that, he would rather give the opportunity to his junior sister, whose chances of survival were much greater than his own.

A tear glistened in Nangong Xue's eyes. She understood the deep meaning in Yu Yi's eyes, and finally let go of his hand, letting Yu Yi walk alone towards the sleeping beauty and towards that unknown fate.

At that moment, her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

Yu Yi walked slowly toward the black arrow with heavy steps.

His face was as pale as paper, and blood was still seeping from the wound on his severed arm, staining his clothes with spots of crimson. But his expression was unusually resolute, as unshakable as a rock.

This might be his last chance in life; his life or death hinges on this one move.

Therefore, he did not rashly reach out to touch the arrow that emitted a faint black light, but instead used magic to try to guide it with his magic power.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the arrow did not react at all.

Seeing this, the transformed demon beside him couldn't help but sneer and said, "Nothing can touch this arrow except a living person touching it with their own hands."

They had tried countless methods, but none of them had worked.

This jet-black arrow seems to possess a spirit, recognizing only the touch of the living.

Only those with higher cultivation levels and stronger vitality can barely touch it for even a fleeting moment.

To pull out this arrow, these transformed demons have paid a huge price, capturing thousands of cultivators from all over the country to "sacrifice" them, but they still failed to succeed.

Those low-level, independent fishermen who disappeared did not actually die in battles with sea monsters, but were all captured and brought here, where they died.

The more this is the case, the more the transformed demons take it seriously.

Yu Yi stared at the arrow. He had never heard of such a strange object before and had no confidence whatsoever.

He subconsciously glanced at the sleeping woman again.

A black arrow pierced her heart, leaving her white clothes stained with blood, making her look exceptionally pale and fragile.

Rather than saying she was asleep here, it would be more accurate to say she was pinned here by this arrow.

Yu Yi couldn't help but wonder: what would happen if the arrow were actually pulled out?

"I apologize for offending you, senior." He bowed and said helplessly.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and prepared to give it a try.

The siren watched this scene, their eyes flashing with cold indifference.

Nangong Xue stared intently at Yu Yi, silently praying for her senior brother.
