Chapter 220 If the enemy doesn't move, I'll move first.
"Caw..." Ya Ya let out a mournful cry and soared into the sky, trying to get away from the center of the lake.
The convoy sped along the riverside road, and Xu Si could even see some parts falling off some of the vehicles.
It's likely that the damage from the collision hasn't been repaired.
Fortunately, the vehicles were not traveling at high speed, so the damage to the convoy's vehicles was not serious.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just some parts falling off.
Xu Si, meanwhile, kept a close eye on the changes in the center of the lake.
More and more undercurrents emerged in other parts of the lake, converging at the center of the lake.
A huge shadow was formed in the center of the lake.
The color of the entire lake deepened at a visible rate, changing from blue to dark blue, and then turning into a pitch-black color that was almost like asphalt.
The surface of the water was calm, but beneath it, undercurrents surged.
The "Death-Slaying Crow" in the sky let out another sharp, triple screech.
Xu Si felt a chill run down his spine.
Is it not a single, individual anomaly, but rather the aggregation of collective consciousness?
Or is it a very special form of splitting?
No wonder "Starburst" was ineffective; Chen Pei's water giant only captured a split portion of it.
Its core may not be located at any one point, but rather scattered throughout the entire lake region, or even...
Is it this lake itself?
How do I kill it?
We can't just drink all the water out of this lake, can we?
"Full speed ahead!" Fu Xiaojian seemed to sense something and accelerated the convoy again.
However, the area from the center of the lake does not seem to have increased in length.
The undercurrent that gathered in the center of the lake did not launch an attack.
There is only one kind of silent, yet even more chilling, "vigilance".
It seemed as if the entire lake had been frozen.
The shadow in the middle of the lake even reminded Xu Si of the giant eye in the salt market.
This is level 4?
Is there some fatal weakness that I haven't discovered?
Otherwise, why would the system give it a level 4 rating?
Like the [Time Delay Mirage], which has strong mental power but weak physical body, what is this guy's weakness?
Xu Si couldn't help but recall his and Chen Pei's previous battles with this guy.
As the convoy drove along the lakeside road, Xu Si was racking his brains for a solution.
No, that won't work!
In the water, this strange creature seems to possess an immortal quality.
In the center of the lake, the increasingly solidified shadow resembled the open eye of an abyss, coldly "watching" the disarrayed convoy speeding by.
The water remained as calm as a mirror, but the oppressive feeling of stillness was more suffocating than any raging storm.
Why aren't you attacking yet?
Could it be that they're waiting for Li Miao to give up so they'll automatically remove the fog?
Or was he being overly wary of his own attack just now?
"Chen Pei, can you drain the water around that guy for a second?" Xu Si asked.
Xu Si came up with a solution, but he didn't know if it would work.
"Just for a moment? Okay!" Chen Pei didn't know what Xu Si was going to do, but after thinking about it carefully, he said.
The shadow seemed large, but Chen Pei, as a Rain Man who was about to advance from Sequence 3 to Sequence 4, still had a way to create a vacuum for a moment.
"It's up to you now!" Xu Si didn't know how long Li Miao's "Misty Words" could last.
Since that guy isn't moving, they'll make the first move.
Chen Pei did not hesitate at all; he was not afraid in the water.
He became one with the water, and even with a level 4 bizarre mental injury, Chen Pei still had some strength left.
At the same time, Xu Si did not leave the car.
He guided a huge burst of starlight toward the center of the lake.
If you can't kill it in the water, then bring that guy out!
The shadow in the center of the lake seemed to notice something was wrong, and the surface of the lake began to ripple.
"Chen Pei!"
Xu Si shouted in a low voice. He knew Chen Pei couldn't hear him, but he felt that it wouldn't be very powerful if he didn't shout it out.
Almost at the same instant, Chen Pei's figure appeared above the shadow in the center of the lake.
As he grabbed with both hands, the lake water within a radius of a hundred meters around the shadow seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand and then repelled in all directions!
"Whoosh—!!!"
A dull roar erupted from the bottom of the water, and the surface of the water in that area visibly caved in and peeled away, creating a brief but enormous "water bowl" out of thin air, with the shadow that had gathered at the bottom of the bowl!
Xu Si even felt that the dark figure lazily opened its eyelids.
It's now!
A fierce glint flashed in Xu Si's eyes. His "Star Guide," which had been ready to be unleashed, precisely enveloped the shadow and then soared into the sky!
The crows circling in the air were startled, their wings flapping erratically, and they almost fell from the sky.
Who could have imagined that one day disaster would strike?
As the instigator, Xu Si had fewer scruples.
The flowing shadow that had been forcibly detached from the lake and pulled into the air by Xingyin emitted a silent, yet sharp "hiss" that startled everyone as soon as it was exposed to the air!
That wasn't a sound, but a violent shock that directly affected the mental level!
The thin mist that had been enveloping the convoy suddenly fluctuated violently. Li Miao's face turned pale, and he let out a muffled groan. The mental shock he had suffered was now doubled.
But he gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and kept the "Misty Words" from dissipating. If the team members were to fall into "sloth" and "degradation" again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The shadow, pulled away from the water, lost the support of the lake's "encompassing" and "extending" nature, and began to struggle violently!
The previous laziness is gone.
Unfortunately, Xu Si's starlight was like an eggshell, completely enveloping him, making escape impossible.
"Sure enough, out of water, this guy is like a venomous snake with its fangs pulled!"
Xu Si's crimson star-like eyes shone brightly as he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, his mind racing.
"Starburst Arrow!"
If we don't shoot at this target now, when will we?
He no longer held back his extraordinary energy; his right hand clenched loosely, and starlight flashed and compressed wildly at his fingertips.
A crimson energy ball, compressed to its maximum size and the size of a fist, shot out like a bullet, instantly rushing towards the eerie shadow enveloped by the star!
boom--!!!
A blinding crimson light burst forth in the air, and a violent energy shockwave blasted a hole in the lake's surface.
Large swaths of shadowy material were directly evaporated and annihilated.
"He's still alive?" Xu Si was a little shocked. He absolutely had to get this guy back!
The shattered shadows did not disappear completely; instead, they writhed rapidly between explosions, attempting to reconnect and merge.
What's even more troublesome is that each of the larger fragments is rapidly "splitting" into hundreds or thousands of twisted, slippery black water snake phantoms, like exploding black dandelions, frantically fleeing towards the lake below!
It wants to get back into the water!
"Don't even think about it!"
Chen Pei's sword was faster than theirs; he appeared instantly below the center of the explosion, as if he had flashed into existence.
The lake water beneath his feet froze instantly, turning into a hard ice surface.
Immediately, several waves several meters high were suddenly created, then froze into ice walls, precisely blocking the escape routes of those black water snake phantoms.
"Thanks!" Needless to say, this was definitely Chen Pei's doing.
Xu Si and Chen Pei are now working together so well.
Combined with the moisture environment created by Chen Pei, large swaths of cold air spread out from him.
Click!Click!
The fleeing water snake phantoms were struck by the cold air, their movements instantly stiffened, and frost-white ice crystals condensed on their bodies, causing their speed to decrease sharply.
