After the immortal disappeared

But he had to be bold in his words: "I wanted to check the Upside-down Lake. Didn't the Illusion Sect intend to ambush us here? Give them a chance!"

His calmness and composure encouraged the people around him. But Bai Ziqi knew that the difficulty of digging the hole this time was much greater than in the past. If his side was not careful, there was a high possibility of failure.

Miaozhan Tianshen had clearly sent a message that the large-scale magic "Time Trick" to protect the fleet would not be used again in a short time. In the illusion of others, it was obviously difficult for the gods to exert their divine power.

If the Upside-down Sea raised a tsunami again, or some large-scale magic that was difficult for human power to resist, Bai Ziqi's fleet might suffer heavy losses.

Before this situation occurred, he had to lead his men to land on Yinzhu Island as soon as possible, so as to prevent the other party from recovering and using another big move.

The Illusion Sect had its own reasons, and Bai Ziqi also had his own urgency that Bai Ziqi could not express.

The upside-down lake with the reef opening has turned into a large irregular polygonal bay, and the fleet certainly wants to dock nearby. The lakeside is full of stone beaches, the pebbles are white, and the lakebed is gently sloping, which is suitable for docking.

The characteristic here is quietness. As soon as the fleet enters, it is like entering a dragon pond. There is no noise around, even the wind has stopped, and there is only the gurgling sound of paddling.

Despite the spell, the boat is still moving slower and slower, as if it is dragging a heavy weight underneath.

Standing on the side of the boat and looking down, the water surface is sparkling and nothing unusual can be seen, but if the perspective is switched to below the water surface and then illuminated, the scene in front of you must be creepy:

The bottom of each large ship, below the water line, is wriggling!

Look carefully, it is not water grass, but dense monsters.

Some look like humans, some don't, some have three eyes, some have two gills, some look like humans but have pointed ears and bald heads, some have dark blue skin and are covered with fish scales...

In short, their appearances are very abstract, but without exception, they are all ugly.

Whoever encounters them in the deep water will feel like they have had a nightmare.

These things shuttle back and forth at the bottom of the lake, and their number is increasing. They are attached to the bottom of the boat more and more densely, like the bottom of Bai Ziqi's main ship, which even has two thick layers attached.

In order to compete for a little space, they even fight each other.

The hull originally had multiple protective formations, which did not allow them to be so rampant. Unfortunately, the formations were basically destroyed after taking on several rounds of great magical powers from the Illusion Sect. There was no time to replenish them, and these monsters did not launch an attack, so the people on the boat did not notice it.

But they all lay on the bottom of the boat, and the hull was very heavy.

The Luodian general ordered his men: "Find someone to go down to the bottom of the ship and see what is slowing down the ship."

The Luodian people were mainly land soldiers, and few of them could swim. The unlucky ones who were picked had no way to refuse, so they had to go into the water reluctantly.

And then they never came back.

While everyone was waiting, there was movement at the stern of the last two large ships:

The water monsters quietly climbed up along the hull, and a sentry happened to be in a hurry and went to the stern to release the water. He untied his belt and looked down, and suddenly met a pair of big copper bell eyes!

"Ah..." He was shocked, and just as he was about to draw his sword, he was dragged down.

But this sound alarmed his companions after all. As soon as everyone drew out their weapons, they saw monsters burst out from the stern one after another, with strange shapes, hideous and ugly, rushing up like a tide.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The warning bell rang on one ship after another, because the water monsters launched an attack almost at the same time.

Fourteen large ships, not a single one was left behind, all were visited by the water monster.

The soldiers brought by the Heavenly Palace were well-trained and very brave. They could chop off a monster's head with a single blow. The individual combat power of these monsters is indeed not as good as theirs, but the number is outrageous!

They climbed up from the water along the hull, like an army of ants rushing towards their prey, densely packed and endless!

Each large ship has hundreds of soldiers, but can squeeze thousands of water monsters!

Each soldier can chop off one head, five heads, or even thirty heads, but can he chop off a hundred heads?

It is said that ants can kill elephants, and this is the most vivid portrayal.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the war started, dozens of soldiers were exposed when they were besieged, and were accidentally pulled down, and then-

Then they were scattered to pieces, and even the screams could not last more than seven or eight breaths.

The worst thing is that he didn't die for a while, but watched his belly being cut open, his intestines, liver and stomach being pulled out, and became the living meat that the monsters fought for!

"Gather on the deck, don't be alone!" The roars of the generals came one after another, "Form a formation to deal with them!"

Five magicians on a large ship jointly cast a spell and released more than ten fire crows. They were all in flames. As long as they flew around the ship, countless water monsters were ignited by the real fire and fell into the water screaming.

Every time they flew a circle, they could clear a large wave of monsters.

But the problem is that the water monsters are not afraid of death, and they keep coming one after another, and they can't be killed at all.

Is it possible that the bottom of this upside-down lake is directly connected to hell, so that monsters can be transported to the ship continuously?

Bai Ziqi's ship was the focus of attention of the water monsters. Other ships climbed up to a thousand, and his ship had at least two thousand. However, his guard force was the strongest here. As long as everyone gathered their defenses, the monsters couldn't break through for a while.

"Yaksha!" Bai Ziqi frowned after seeing these monsters clearly.

Aren't these the man-eating monsters Yaksha mentioned by the fishermen? Every time the storm wall disappears, they may rush out of the Upside-Down Lake to do evil. But this time they are not looking for trouble with mortals, but looking for a fight with the Heavenly Palace team.

Bai Ziqi looked back at the fleet. Every ship was filled with water monsters. The most were on his main ship. There was no space outside the defense circle.

Roughly estimated, there were at least 20,000 monsters coming out of the water.

Even the Tiangong team had to reduce their personnel when facing them. If this number of water monsters were released on Yinzhu Island, they would probably eat all the living people to extinction!

There were only a hundred thousand civilians on Yinzhu Island.

Bai Ziqi heard from fishermen that the most terrifying water monster attack in history was only more than 2,000 monsters coming out of the lake together, which caused the death of more than 30,000 people on Yinzhu Island!

Why did the number of water monsters coming out of the lake increase by more than ten times after the Tiangong team arrived?

Bai Ziqi became interested and waved his hand to his Bai Wei: "Drag the body here! Yes, drag it here directly."

Bai Wei just killed a seven-foot-tall water monster. This thing looks like a human, with upright legs, green skin, bulging eyes, a big mouth that can stretch behind the ears, and rows of yellow teeth turning outward.

Bai Ziqi put on gloves and cut it all the way to the bottom, directly opening its chest and abdomen. The monster did not bleed, but white foam came out.

He grabbed the muscles on both sides of the knife and pried them apart with force.

This time the feel was wrong. It did not have the firmness and toughness of flesh and blood. Instead, it was like rotten meat that had been left for more than ten days, soft and slippery, and a hole was poked.

After the monster's chest cavity was opened, everyone was even more stunned:

The internal organs also came out with foam, and the abdominal cavity was full of water.

In just a few breaths, the digestive tract melted under everyone's eyes, like ice melting into water.

In less than half a cup of tea, the whole monster melted, leaving no residue, and the deck was full of water stains and foam.

However, a thin and shallow gray mist that was hard to see with the human eye rose from the monster's body and drifted out of the ship.

It was unlucky and was illuminated by the lamp spirit as soon as it appeared. Bai Ziqi pulled out a hair, gently burned it in the golden fire of the lamp spirit, and threw it towards the gray mist.

With a whoosh, the hair turned into a thin rope and automatically bound the gray mist.

The gray mist struggled desperately, but to no avail. Bai Ziqi pulled it over and took a look, and then used the lamp spirit to fumigate it, and the thing revealed its true face:

A ghost.

It was a dead soul with a swollen body and a squeezed face.

Bai Shiqi said as soon as he saw it: "It's a water ghost!"

There is actually a drowned ghost living in the body of Yaksha?

Bai Ziqi threw it to the lamp spirit and said, "Another one."

Another water monster was dragged over for dissection and examination.

The situation was exactly the same. It began to dissolve into water as soon as it died, from the inside to the outside, and in the end nothing was left.

No wonder that after so many years, the people of Yinzhu Island could not figure out the structure of these monsters. They existed for too short a time after death, and even Bai Ziqi did not have time to do an autopsy.

A dead soul also floated in this body.

Bai Ziqi understood and pointed at the Yaksha on the boat: "Go!"

The lamp spirit suddenly became larger and patrolled the boat with a long tail.

Under the golden light, everyone found that the Yakshas who had just died all had a little gray mist on their bodies. They turned over the side of the boat and quickly fell into the bottom of the upside-down lake.

Bai Ziqi took off his gloves and shook his head: "What Yaksha? They are all Qianhuan's puppets."

This is not a natural living thing!

Then the question is, why does Qianhuan regularly release such monsters to Yinzhu Island?

Before he finished thinking, there was an unusual sound of wind from above. Then several white guards shouted: "Sir, be careful, the water monster can fly!"

A water monster swooped down from the sail and went straight for Bai Ziqi.

The lamp spirit soared into the sky with a "whoosh", turned into a sharp arrow, and pierced through in one fell swoop.

When it fell on the deck, everyone raised the lamp to see that this thing actually had bat-like membrane wings on its back. It could climb to a high place and jump up, and glide with the wind.

In an instant, more and more winged water monsters climbed onto the hull. They jumped directly into the gathered soldiers and bit them, trying to tear open the defense circle.

"The other party released these things just to consume our strength."

Previously, Huanzong used great magical powers to consume the power of the gods, and now it sent water monsters to kill the Tiangong team's military force, taking a two-pronged approach. Bai Ziqi couldn't tolerate them, so he ordered immediately, "Pass my order, all ships raise the flags to calm the mind!"

The ships had the ability to communicate with each other, so his order was passed on immediately, and each ship opened a large white umbrella in the crowded area.

It looked like an oil-paper umbrella, with a pearl embedded in the umbrella head and more than a dozen thin strips of cloth under the umbrella.

When all fourteen white umbrellas were opened, Bai Ziqi ordered again: "Beat the soul-shaking drum."
