The trident was Poseidon's personal weapon. Even among all the divine artifacts, it was considered one of the best. Its destructive power was not limited to just that.
When the seahorse swung the trident, not only did it split the water in half, but Zhang Heng also realized that his control over the water around him was decreasing. This was where the trident's power came from.
This weapon from Poseidon could turn the entire body of water into its wielder's territory. Zhang Heng tried to create two water shields to block the seahorse's attack. However, before the water shield could even hit the seahorse, it had already shrunk to half its original size. The water on top of the shield was frantically trying to escape. In the end, the water shield was easily cut in half. Zhang Heng had no choice but to raise the Shrouded Scabbard in his hand to block the attack.
As a result, his body flew backward like a torpedo!
Zhang Heng flew for a good ten meters, and he only stopped when his back was about to slam into the stone wall of the pool. The next moment, however, the seahorse appeared in front of him again.
Before this, Zhang Heng bullied others with his speed. This time, he finally met an opponent who was faster than him underwater. After the seahorse swung the trident, it did not admire the result of its attack. Instead, it immediately chased after Zhang Heng. It moved later than Zhang Heng, and it was still ten meters away from Zhang Heng. When Zhang Heng stopped, he realized that the seahorse was less than five meters away from him.
At the same time, the Seahorse swung the trident in its hand again. This time, it swung the trident twice in a row, creating a cross-shaped slash to seal off Zhang Heng's movements. Worst of all, this time, Zhang Heng no longer had any room to retreat.
Even though he was forced into a corner, Zhang Heng's eyes did not show any signs of panic.
Due to the existence of the trident, his control over the water was much weaker. Zhang Heng knew that he would not be able to dodge the attack by just controlling the water. However, he was now forced to the stone wall of the pool. Zhang Heng stepped on a protruding point on the stone wall, bent his knees, and then stomped on it. With the help of the Mortal Scale, Zhang Heng's stomp had three times the strength of his normal stomp, and he quickly leaped up.
Coupled with the effect of the surrounding water flow, he was able to escape the attack range of the Cross Slash.
Seeing this, the seahorse could not help but inwardly praise Zhang Heng. Among all the players it had encountered so far, Zhang Heng's combat standards were the strongest. Even in a disadvantageous position, Zhang Heng was able to maintain his calm. Not only did this require a strong mental fortitude, but it also required a keen sense honed through countless battles.
Of course, Seahorse was no slouch himself. Although he was just the owner of a seafood farm before he joined the game, he had experienced dozens of battles in dungeons over the next two years. Other than that, unlike other players who returned to their normal lives, he had been wandering around the world, hunting monsters. He was a true Deep Sea Hunter.
The seahorse's battle sense was also very outstanding. As soon as Zhang Heng moved, it immediately followed suit. It swung its trident again and again, stirring up the small pool of water.
The players on the shore had no idea what was happening below. All they saw was that the calm water surface had suddenly become turbulent. An unlucky player who was closer to the shore was accidentally swept into the pool by a giant wave. A second ago, he was struggling to swim back to the shore, but in the next second, he was slammed into the water by another giant wave. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
That was not the end of it. As the giant wave continued to surge, the players on the shore felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly. It was as if someone was hitting the ground with a giant hammer.
Sunglasses Man, who was still waiting for the diving suit to be delivered to him, had an ugly expression on his face when he saw this. He finally understood why Seahorse had chosen to dive into the water alone. Indeed, there was no point in fighting with such a large number of people. Instead, it might even affect his ability to fight, giving him extra scruples when he attacked.
Of course, Zhang Heng, who was on the other side, was also giving him goosebumps. Although he could not see what was going on underwater, it was obvious that the two were still fighting fiercely. At this moment, he was reminded of Eryue Weicheng's comments about Seahorse. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that someone could fight Poseidon's representative underwater.
At this point, the sunglasses man could only pray that Seahorse could defeat Zhang Heng underwater.
No one knew if Seahorse heard the sunglasses man's prayer, but he was indeed getting more and more into battle mode. In order to force Zhang Heng to take his attacks head-on, he moved closer to Zhang Heng. At the same time, he waved the trident in his hand tirelessly.
With this divine weapon, he had the upper hand in the battle. It was not that Zhang Heng did not have any Grade-B game items on him, but whether it was the Shrouded Sheath or the Pestilence Bone Bow, they were no match for Seahorse's trident underwater. The only thing he had was the Infinite Building Block, and it was not time to use it yet.
Moreover, it was difficult for Zhang Heng to assemble the Legos in his backpack into what he wanted. Hence, his main focus was on dodging the seahorse's attacks. Of course, Zhang Heng did try to fight back, especially since the seahorse was not too far away from him. However, every time Zhang Heng tried to approach it, the seahorse would retract its trident and place it in front of its chest.
The water around him would immediately gather into a bubble and wrap around him. Zhang Heng tried to use Shrouded Scabbard to cut open the bubble, but the part that was cut open was quickly replaced by the surrounding water. At the same time, whenever Zhang Heng was about a meter away from the seahorse, he would feel a tremendous pressure pressing down on him.
Under this pressure, Zhang Heng's movements were slowed down and even deformed. There was nothing Zhang Heng could do about Seahorse. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Zhang Heng had no choice but to quickly retreat and widen the distance between him and Seahorse. Seeing this, Seahorse immediately turned from defense to offense, not giving Zhang Heng any chance to catch his breath.
Seahorse now regarded Zhang Heng as the most vicious and cunning sea monster.
Sounds could not be heard underwater, but this silent battle was far more dangerous than the one on land. Both sides seemed to be very patient, waiting for the other to make a mistake while doing their own thing.
Zhang Heng had to admit that the seahorse was one of the most difficult opponents he had encountered so far. Of course, that was only limited to underwater battles. In fact, the easiest way to deal with the seahorse was to fight it on land. Although the seahorse had the upper hand, Zhang Heng could still leave the pool if he wanted to. However, the danger on land was far greater than in the water, and that was the problem of being surrounded.
