Platinum Aqua

Xingmiao looked intently into the distance, and in front of her was a piece of green water grass, two feet deep, really like a very lush lawn.He stared ahead without blinking, trying to make out shapes in the shadows... Just then, without warning, something grabbed his ankle.

Twisting and turning around, he saw a Grindylow—a water monster with horns on its head, protruding from the water plants, its long nails gripping his legs tightly, and its long, pointed mouth protruding from its mouth. Teeth - Xing Miao quickly grabbed Yuxiao.But when he was about to release his spiritual power to disperse them, two more Grindylos emerged from the water plants, grabbed his shirt, and pulled him down desperately.

Xingmiao frowned slightly, tucked the jade flute back to her waist, and quickly released the spiritual power to the surface of her body. The two Grindellos who were holding him suddenly felt oiled in their hands and couldn't grab anything.Xingmiao broke free quickly, turned her head and smiled disdainfully at Grindylow.

"Tell me, where are they!" The voice that exerted spiritual power suddenly sounded in Grindylow's mind, causing them to panic and keep spinning in the water.

Xingmiao moved her fingers slightly, using the lake water to imprison them in the water: "Tell me! Where are they!"

The threatening voice sounded again, and the two water monsters, who already knew where the sound came from, looked at Xing Miao, who was in fluttering white clothes in front of them in horror, and nodded vigorously.

Xingmiao raised her eyebrows, swiped her finger in the water, and the two water monsters were free again.They were leading the way for Xingmiao tremblingly, sneaking a peek behind them from time to time.

Xingmiao, who just wanted to find Lucius quickly and take him away, didn't care about the two water monsters that were just ants to him. He followed along while always being alert to possible attacks around him .

Swim for at least two 10 minutes.Now there are large expanses of black mud at the bottom of the water, and the lake water has black eddies because of his stirring.After a long time, he vaguely heard the mermaid's unforgettable song.

only one hour,

To find and recapture what we took...

The water monsters didn't want to take a step forward, they turned their heads tremblingly and called to Xingmiao a few times, Xingmiao raised his eyes knowingly, and waved them away.

Xingmiao turned and walked towards the direction of the singing until their figures disappeared in the water.

He manipulated the lake to swim faster, and after a while, he saw a large rock appeared in the muddy lake in front of him, with many mermaids painted on it, holding spears in their hands, chasing what looked like giant Squid stuff.Xingmiao swam by the rocks, chasing the singing of the mermaid.

...don't delay any longer, half the time has passed,

Lest what you're looking for rot here...

Suddenly, many rough stone dwellings suddenly appeared in the surrounding area, covered with algae.He saw some faces in those dark windows... These faces were completely different from the mermaids that had been circulated among the people in the past...

The mermaids here have iron-gray skin and long dark green hair that is disheveled.Their eyes were yellow, their broken teeth were yellow, and around their necks were pebbles strung on thick ropes.When the restrained Xing Miao swam past, they smiled maliciously at him.In order to see better, one or two ran out of the cave, holding spears in their hands, and slapped the lake water with their thick and powerful silver fish tails.

Xingmiao swam forward quickly, looking around, and soon, there were more and more stone dwellings, some of which had gardens around them.He saw a little Green Lody chained to a door.Mermaids emerged from all directions, all looking at him curiously, and covering their mouths with their hands and whispering.Xingmiao quickly turned a corner, and a very strange scene appeared in front of her eyes.

The place seemed to be the square of a small mermaid village, surrounded by houses, and in front of them a large school of mermaids floated.Some mermaids in the middle were singing in unison, calling for the warriors to come over.Behind them stood a crude statue: a mermaid carved out of boulders.On the tail of the mermaid stone statue, three people were firmly bound.

Lucius is chained between the two girls.Xing Miao, a girl with golden hair, has seen her before. She is Delacour's roommate.He hadn't seen another girl who looked older than him, and she should be Krum's "baby".All three of them seemed to be in a deep sleep, their heads shrugged limply on their shoulders, and a string of thin blisters kept coming out of their mouths.

Xingmiao quickly swam towards the hostages.He knew the merfolk wouldn't turn their spears across at him, and they didn't.

The rope that tied the hostages to the statue was made of water grass, thick and slippery, and very strong.He looked to the side.Many of the merfolk surrounding the hostages had spears in their hands.He swam quickly toward a seven-foot merman with a long green beard and a choker of shark's teeth, and gestured to borrow its spear.The mermaid laughed and shook her head.

"We can't help," said the merman in a hoarse, low voice.

Xingmiao just raised his eyebrows, and didn't plan to grab it. He turned around in the water and looked around.Need a sharp...anything will do...

When he saw the mermaid not far away took out a jug of what was probably wine and poured it into his mouth, he remembered that sharp things are everywhere, and he didn't need to be so troublesome.

He swooped down, came to the side of the statue, grabbed the rope that bound Lucius, and used the spiritual power in his body to gradually freeze the water around the rope into ice.The temperature around the part of the rope wrapped by Xingmiao's hands is still dropping, and the mermaids around are afraid to approach it.

A few minutes later, there was only a "click", the ice lump shattered, and the rope wrapped in it was also broken.Lucius was floating a few inches above the lake bottom, delirious, swinging to and fro with the waves.

Xing Miao looked around.There was no sign of the other warriors.Although he didn't know what they were dawdling about, but he just wanted to fight quickly and didn't want to be nosy, he put one of Lucius' hands on his shoulder, wrapped his arms around his waist, and manipulated the lake to leave.

At this time, a huge monster came oncoming, with a human body underneath, wearing swimming trunks, and a shark's head on top...it was Krum.Apparently he's trying to shapeshift himself—without success.

The half-human, half-shark Krum only glanced at Xingmiao who was supporting Lucius, and swam straight to his own target.Xingmiao didn't intend to pay any attention to it anymore, hugged Lucius tightly, and swam to the lake.

Seeing the lake surface reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of Xingmiao's mouth, and a huge suction force that appeared inexplicably destroyed everything.

Xingmiao hugged Lucius and gave up manipulating the lake water, trying desperately to go upstream and surface the water, but the suction more than ten times stronger than the gravity of the earth was pulling them relentlessly.He knew that the Gu Demon still made a move.

He glanced at Lucius who was still in the chaos beside him, gritted his teeth, and decided to send him out first.

While resisting the suction, Xingmiao used her spiritual power to quickly form a barrier around Lucius that would break when she was in the water. It took him twelve minutes to push him out of the lake less than ten meters away from them.

Looking at the splashing water, he knew that Lucius must be fine.Only then did he have the mind to deal with this unknown enemy.

"Be careful, this is Taotie." Luo Hua's voice suddenly sounded in Xingmiao's mind, he suddenly raised his head and looked around, and sure enough, he saw Luo Hua and his father smiling at him not far away.

Luohua continued: "Gaotie has the body of a sheep, eyes in the armpits, tiger teeth and human claws, a big head and a big mouth. He is very greedy and eats whatever he sees. Nearly half of his clan died because of his great desire to eat." , so adult gluttons often go out to find their own owners to suppress their desire to eat, and this lake bottom is probably one of them. If nothing is stopped, within half a day, all the creatures in this black lake will become gluttonous meals I ate it in my mouth."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Wait for you." Another cold voice sounded in Xingmiao's mind, he looked at his father with a frosty face, and after a little thought, he understood.After he nodded at the two of them, he plunged into the water and swam towards the direction of the suction.

Seeing Xingmiao gradually disappearing into the water, Luo Hua couldn't help but asked, "Yun, Xingmiao will be fine."

Ling Yun held Luo Hua's hand, stared at the direction where Xing Miao disappeared, and couldn't help poking his lips undignifiedly: "Under my nose, it's hard for him to get into trouble!"

Looking at Ling Yun like this, Luo Hua couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, why did he feel that Ling Yun has become more and more naive and petty since meeting here.

On the other side, Xing Miao, who already knew his opponent, was holding a jade flute. After he gradually approached the target, he slowly used his spiritual power to resist its suction and slow down his forward speed.

After going down another hundred meters, he gradually saw clearly the Taotie that in his concept only belonged to legends.

"Roar——" Seeing its target, Taotie roared excitedly, half-squatting on the bottom of the lake with its front paws slightly curved, staring at him intently, as if he was a plate of delicious roast duck, waiting for him to come and enjoy at any time.

Xingmiao approached cautiously, the fierce-faced Taotie opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, yelling at him from time to time, but he refused to take a step closer to him.Xingmiao knew that the voodoo behind it must have restricted it, not to hurt herself.

The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and his courage grew a little.

He slowly stretched his hand to his waist and touched the Qiankun bag.A flash of brilliance flashed, and a golden and ancient iron fan about one foot long, surrounded by colorful colors, appeared in his hand.

The iron fan appeared, overflowing with colorful colors, and immediately faded the darkness of nearly [-] meters at the bottom of the lake. Today, Xingmiao is lucky enough to have a glimpse of the beauty of the black lake bottom that no human being has ever appreciated.

But Xingmiao didn't have such thoughts at this time. After replacing the jade flute, the golden ancient iron fan in his hand was waiting for its owner to give orders.
