In the pool of water under the waterfall, two figures that were more agile than fishes were entangled together.
Zhang Heng and Seahorse had been fighting underwater for almost ten minutes now, and there was still no clear winner.
However, compared to ten minutes ago, Zhang Heng had a few more wounds on his body. Most of them were bruises, and the only two bleeding wounds were caused by his back hitting the sharp parts of the wall.
Of course, Zhang Heng did not pay the price for nothing. Although the seahorse did not suffer much damage, the trident in his hand had seven new cuts. About three minutes ago, Zhang Heng suddenly changed his attitude. He no longer targeted the seahorse. Instead, he began to attack the golden trident.
The seahorse's pressure field was only effective for one meter around him. However, the majestic trident in his hand was more than two meters long. In other words, unless he held it in front of him all the time, the trident would leave his pressure field if he swung it around. And that was the perfect opportunity for Zhang Heng to take advantage of the situation.
Seahorse had no idea what material Zhang Heng's sword was made of, but it was unbelievably tough. Logically speaking, a divine weapon like the trident should not have been so fragile, but the reality before him had left him completely flabbergasted.
If the first time was just an accident, then every time the sword came into contact with the trident, it would leave a mark on the trident. After being slashed a few times by Zhang Heng, the seahorse became afraid, and it took the initiative to put some distance between itself and Zhang Heng. It used the cold weapon as a staff, but this made the seahorse a little more restricted in the upcoming battle.
The Seahorse had also considered sacrificing the trident to deal with the powerful enemy before it. After all, it was not easy for Zhang Heng to destroy the B-class Celestial artifact. Moreover, the Seahorse was already injured from trying to land a hit on the trident. If they were to fight head-on, there was a higher chance that Zhang Heng would fall first.
However, Seahorse eventually discarded this tempting thought. After all, the trident was not his weapon. It was Poseidon's, and it was only temporarily lent to him. Seahorse could already imagine Poseidon's rage when he saw the marks on the trident, let alone if the trident was destroyed.
Even though R 'yleh's master was Poseidon's greatest enemy, Poseidon still had to fight another battle of life and death.
He definitely did not want to lose his weapon at such a crucial moment. That was why the seahorse had no choice but to distance himself from Zhang Heng. Unfortunately, this meant that the advantage that he had built up over Zhang Heng would be wasted. Fortunately, the seahorse's patience did not diminish because of this. He only had one thought in mind in this battle, and that was to kill the opponent before him!
The seahorse's tenacity had won Zhang Heng's praise as well. Although part of the credit was due to the trident, the seahorse itself was the main reason why the battle had lasted so long. In terms of combat experience, Seahorse was only slightly behind Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng could tell that this hunter-like, tough guy had been through hundreds of battles, just like him.
Unfortunately, only one of them would be able to return to the surface alive.
Just as Zhang Heng was about to launch the next round of attacks, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and frowned. The seahorse also stopped moving. As Poseidon's representative, the son of the sea, it was only natural that he was extremely sensitive to the hydrological environment around him.
He could feel a cold current suddenly appearing behind him just now. At first, the seahorse thought that Zhang Heng was holding something back, but when it raised its head, it suddenly froze.
He realized that the surface of the water above him was beginning to freeze.
It was still summer. Even though the temperature in the mountains was slightly lower than outside, it was only a few degrees. It was impossible for the water to reach freezing point. However, what was happening right before his eyes told him that the surface of the water was indeed freezing.
In fact, it was not just the surface of the water that was freezing. The cold current that came from behind him was spreading throughout the entire pool at an alarming rate. It looked like it was going to freeze the entire pool!
…
The man wearing sunglasses by the shore was also stunned. He stared blankly at the young man who was squatting by the water's edge.
The young man was originally from the second echelon. He arrived with the batch of diving suits after hearing the news. When he arrived, he put his right hand into the pool without saying a word.
Then, all the people standing by the lake suddenly shivered. Then, they saw a thin layer of ice condense on the surface of the lake. The thin ice quickly spread in all directions. In less than half a minute, the entire pool was frozen.
It was only then that someone realized what was happening. The first to rush out was the second line of defense. They roared at the young man by the pool, "What the f * ck are you doing?!"
"Helping you inefficient people to end this battle as soon as possible," the young man said calmly as he took off the Beats headphones on his head.
"But our people are still down there!"
"I know, and I'm very grateful to him. If it wasn't for him holding Simon back, I wouldn't have been able to freeze this pool."
"Do you know that you're not only freezing Simon, but also Seahorse?! I advise you to leave this pool before we do anything to you. "
Although the Seahorse preferred to roam the world on its own and rarely participated in Guild activities, it was still a member of the same Guild. They couldn't just stand by and watch as their companion was frozen to the bottom of the ocean by this young man who had appeared out of nowhere. The Seahorse Seahorse was a lone ranger who preferred to roam the world on its own.
However, when the young man heard them, he was still unmoved. He said calmly, "How many people have died in your previous operation?"
The players from the second line of defense were stunned.
The young man continued, "If we let Simon escape, how many people will die in the world? Sacrificing one person to save the entire world. Isn't that why we're here? "
The players from the second line of defense were speechless. After a moment of silence, they forced themselves to say, "You don't know Seahorse. He's invincible underwater. Even if you don't freeze this pool, he can still kill Simon."
"Maybe. I hope he's as strong as you say he is. However, it's been ten minutes, and he still hasn't come up. This means that he has encountered some trouble in the battle. In other words, there's a possibility that he might lose. If he dies, what are you going to do? Send another ten unlucky bastards in your ridiculous diving suits to die?" The young man with the Beats headphones on his neck looked around him.
This time, more people remained silent. Even the sunglasses-wearing man stopped in his tracks.
"You have to think this through. Opportunities don't always exist. When that Seahorse loses, it'll be too late even if I want to," the young man said calmly.
