Chapter 334 This can't go on.
"Wait for me!" Ao Shuang cried out anxiously upon seeing this, flapping her wings as she prepared to fly over.
But as soon as he flew over the stream, he felt a powerful suction coming from below. At the same time, the gray mist in the stream seemed to come alive, wrapping around his wings with a damp and cold feeling.
Snow eagles are the masters of the air, but they are completely helpless in water battles.
"Aoshuang! Don't go into the water!" Yuan Xiao shouted anxiously from the shore. "You stay up there and deal with things as needed!"
Helpless, Ao Shuang had no choice but to raise her body to avoid the gray mist and suction force, hovering in the air and nervously watching the stream below.
Beneath the stream, visibility was extremely poor.
The dark gray water not only blocked the light but also interfered with the orcs' keen senses.
The giant python moved swiftly in the water, relying on its serpentine instincts and powerful physique to track the blood-red figure ahead.
Chi Miao was like a fish in water, moving very fast in her mermaid form and clinging tightly to Hui's back.
However, once the comet entered the water, it was as if it had returned to its home turf.
Although Blood Demons are not an aquatic race, their control over blood and life force is highly compatible with the water in some aspects.
This stream, in particular, seems to contain a kind of cold energy that subtly resonates with the aura of the Blood Demon.
The comet moved nimbly in the water like a real fish, constantly using the rapid current and the jagged rocks at the bottom of the stream to evade pursuit.
What's more troublesome is that he seems to be able to draw upon that strange power within the stream.
As the comet fled and manipulated the water, the stream began to become increasingly turbulent.
Undercurrents surged in from all directions, pulling at Yu Mo and Chi Miao as they pursued.
Whirlpools would occasionally appear suddenly underwater, trying to pull them into the depths.
The gray mist condensed in the water into tentacles like the arms of water ghosts, entangled and hindered their movements.
Yu Mo's massive serpentine body appeared somewhat cumbersome in the narrow stream and turbulent currents. Several times, Hui narrowly avoided Yu Mo's bites, but instead, Yu Mo was quite disheveled by the undercurrents and whirlpools, resulting in significant energy expenditure.
Chi Miao was in slightly better condition, but he was injured, and the wounds in the dark gray stream caused him sharp pain, affecting his performance.
Comet seemed to deliberately lead them to the complex underwater terrain, using crevices and caves to maneuver around them.
"This can't go on..."
Ao Shuang, seeing this clearly from the air, anxiously shouted to Yu Mo and Chi Miao underwater, "He's using the water's force to wear you down! There's something wrong with this water, don't linger! Force him ashore!"
At this moment, Yu Mo and Chi Miao, who were underwater, also realized the problem.
Comet never confronted them directly; he simply kept running away and dodging.
He frequently harassed them by taking advantage of the environment, aiming to delay them and exhaust their strength and condition.
The stream is of unknown length, and its destination is unknown.
If we continue to let him lead us by the nose like this, things might not go well.
The python-like black mamba suddenly twisted, its huge tail sweeping out and slamming hard against the rock wall on one side of the stream.
With a loud crash, the water surged and the rocks cracked.
The blow was so powerful that it not only jolted the comet's body momentarily, but also caused a brief blockage in the narrow stream.
This causes the direction of the water flow to change.
Chi Miao seized the opportunity and used all his strength to divert the water flow.
This time, instead of trying to create an aggressive water blade, he manipulated the water flow to create a powerful lateral thrust, slamming into the comet and pushing it from the current deep water area to the relatively shallow riverbank on one side.
Hui did not expect them to suddenly change their strategy, and was caught off guard by the chaotic water flow and the force of the pool's movement, causing them to drift to the side.
He tried to steady himself and plunge back into the deep water, but the giant python's massive body had already blocked his way to the deep water like an underwater wall.
The python's fangs gleamed eerily, pointing menacingly at him.
There were obstacles in front, forces from the sides, and frost above watching them menacingly.
Comet's blood-red eyes scanned the area, knowing that staying in the deep water would only lead to its slow demise.
A flash of resentment and ruthlessness crossed his face as he suddenly leaped upwards.
With a splash, the comet burst out of the water and landed on a relatively flat, pebble-strewn shallow beach on the other side of the stream.
He was soaked to the bone, his face was even paler than before, and the wound on his left shoulder began to bleed again due to the strenuous exercise and the rushing water. His breathing was also becoming increasingly unsteady.
Almost the instant he landed, Yu Mo and Chi Miao leaped out of the water, flanking him from the left and right.
The snow eagle also let out a cry and swooped down from the sky, landing behind the comet and completely blocking his escape route.
Surrounded on three sides, the comet had no chance of escape.
"Run! Why did you stop running?"
The snow eagle spread its wings slightly, its eyes filled with icy killing intent.
The frustration and anxiety he felt while on the water just now turned into anger.
Panting heavily, Hui leaned against a protruding rock by the stream, his blood-red eyes sweeping over the three people surrounding him before finally settling on Yuan Xiao, who was slowly walking over from the other side.
He grinned, revealing a bloodshot smile.
"Cough cough... I didn't expect you to catch up with me after all." Hui coughed twice, spitting out some blood. "It seems that even the Feast of the Sea can't stop your determination to die."
"Enough nonsense!" Yu Mo returned to human form, his face somewhat pale, the underwater battle had taken its toll, but he still glared fiercely at Hui. "You triggered the Sea Feast, almost causing us to perish at sea. It's time to pay this debt."
"Still?" Hui chuckled softly, as if he had heard a joke. His laughter was hoarse and unpleasant. "You? Hmph... You think you can keep me here just because I'm injured? We'll see if you have the ability!"
Before he could finish speaking, the remaining crimson demonic energy around Hui suddenly erupted.
This time, it wasn't the frail state of fleeing, but a frenzy of burning oneself out!
His eyes turned blood red, and countless tiny blood snakes seemed to be crawling under his skin. The horrific wound on his left shoulder temporarily stopped bleeding under the stimulation of the demonic energy, and even began to slowly wriggle and heal.
"Watch out! He's going all out!" Chi Miao clenched his fist and shouted in a low voice.
With a sharp shriek, Hui transformed into a blood-red shadow and pounced on Chi Miao.
His fingernails grew rapidly, transforming into ten blood-red blades that hurtled towards him with a piercing shriek that tore through the air.
Chi Miao's expression turned solemn. He suddenly stepped back and then set up layers of flowing water shields in front of him.
However, Hui, who had already gone mad, easily tore through the layers of water shield with her blood-red blade and was about to touch Chi Miao's body.
Just then, a dark figure cut between the two.
It's Imperial Ink!
He had somehow entered a semi-python form, his hands covered in fine black scales, and a cold, poisonous glint flashed at his fingertips as he precisely restrained Hui's hands.
