The water in the lotus pond on Mount Wuzhi was turbid. Occasionally, there would be a slight ripple. It looked like it was caused by the wind, but in fact, it was the mutated black fish swimming slowly at the bottom of the pond.
These mutated black fish were aquatic beasts. They were usually lazy and did not move much. However, when someone invaded their territory, they would immediately become furious and attack recklessly. This was also a common characteristic of many mutated beasts in the psionic era.
The water was the home ground of the mutated black fish. The combat strength of the awakened ones would be reduced.
This did not mean that the awakened ones could not go into the water. The awakened ones all had a psionic force field. After going into the water, they could choose to activate their psionic force field to force away the water around their body. It was like the legendary effect of the Water Repellent Pearl. However, they still needed to come up to the surface to breathe every once in a while.
Every move in the water was very difficult. After all, it was not as good as being on land.
After Bai Xiaowen exposed Wang Kai's thoughts, he did not need to say anything more to them. He directly ordered his summoned creatures to go into the water. Bai Xiaowen himself sat cross-legged by the pond. He switched to the perspective of his summoned creatures and fought remotely.
Bai Xiaowen seemed to be arrogant, but in fact, he was still wary of Zhou Ze and Wang Kai. The Shadow Assassin had been hiding at the side, guarding against Zhou Ze and Wang Kai.
On the surface, Bai Xiaowen was alone and unguarded.
Zhou Ze and Wang Kai were a little tempted when they saw this scene. The two took a few steps back and lowered their voices to discuss in a low voice.
"Should we attack?" Wang Kai asked. "If we delay any longer, he will snatch all the green lotus seeds."
"Don't worry. His summoned creatures may not be as powerful as the black fish in the water," Zhou Ze whispered. "Even if we attack, we have to wait until his summoned creatures are entangled by the strange fish at the bottom of the pond. When that time comes, a lone summoner, even a hero class, is no match for us."
"Okay, we'll do as you say. It must be quite an achievement to drive out such a hero class," Wang Kai said.
The two of them did not feel any pressure to attack Bai Xiaowen. The exploration of this kind of treasure land was based on one's own ability. Those who were strong would be able to obtain treasures, while those who were weak would be kicked out of the treasure land and could only sigh that they were not as strong as others.
Both of them knew that people who specialized in mental strength were good at sensing and eavesdropping, so they stood a little further away and whispered so that Bai Xiaowen wouldn't hear them. However, Bai Xiaowen could guess what the two of them were thinking.
Bai Xiaowen did not take the initiative to attack them, mainly because he was the captain of Jinghai University's team, while the two were just ordinary students of Tongjiang University.
If he directly cleared the venue, he would definitely be labeled as a bully, arrogant, and domineering, which would be very detrimental to the reputation of Jinghai University and himself. It didn't matter as long as he induced the two of them to attack first. This kind of behavior was like fishing. Those who were willing to take the bait.
After the Skeleton Swordsman, the Skeleton Mage, and the Wrath Claw entered the water, a thin layer of Spirit Energy Force Field also appeared on the surface of their bodies, blocking the water flow outside. The five summoned creatures stepped on the one-foot-thick mud at the bottom of the pool and walked forward step by step.
Suddenly, the water rippled, and a pitch-black Mutated Black Fish with a mouth full of fangs jumped out and rammed into the Skeleton Swordsman.
The Skeleton Swordsman raised its shield to block. Its body trembled slightly as it skillfully blocked the Mutated Black Fish's charge and swung its sword at it.
The Mutated Black Fish swung its tail and nimbly dodged the attack. The slash only hit the water flow.
BANG!
The Mutated Black Fish's tail hit the Skeleton Swordsman's chest with great force.
Another five or six Mutated Black Fish swam toward them from afar.
The summoned creatures were caught in a fight. Even the Wrath Claw was not used to moving in the water. It swung its claws wildly, but it could not hit the unusually nimble Mutated Black Fish at all.
Beside the pool, Zhou Ze and Wang Kai saw the waves rolling and the black mud flying in the air. They knew that Bai Xiaowen's summoned creatures had encountered the Mutated Black Fish and were being held back.
"I'm sorry, Bai Xiaowen, please leave the treasure zone of the Great Rift Valley!"
Wang Kai suddenly took out his crossbow and fired an arrow at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen tilted his head and dodged the arrow. He smiled, "You finally can't hold it in anymore?"
"Humph, don't act like you're so confident. It's infuriating!" Zhou Ze took out his weapon. It was a long and narrow katana with a sheath. He grabbed the hilt of the katana with his right hand and assumed the posture of drawing the katana. He quickly charged at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen stood up and dodged Wang Kai's second arrow, "I'm afraid you're not very good at shooting. Your aim is a little off."
BANG! The arrow exploded. A strong light flashed and lit up the area around Bai Xiaowen.
The Shadow Assassin's figure was revealed.
Wang Kai smiled proudly, "Do you think I'm attacking you? No, I'm going to use Flare! It's no secret that you have an invisible summoned creature of the Soul race. "
Zhou Ze rushed to Bai Xiaowen's side and shouted loudly. He unsheathed his katana and drew a sharp arc, "Katana Slash!"
"This … do I have to shout the name of the skill?"
Bai Xiaowen laughed and complained. The shadow assassin took a step forward and used its body to block the slash for Bai Xiaowen.
"Your summoned creature, the shadow assassin, received 23 damage."
Zhou Ze's expression changed as if he had seen a ghost. In fact, he really did see a ghost, "What's going on? My Katana Slash only dealt around 20 damage to a summoned creature?"
It was an indisputable fact that summoned creatures were weaker than awakened creatures of the same level. Zhou Ze's Katana Slash was his main combat skill. Even if it hit a Level-3 tank-type elite class, it could still deal 30 + physical damage! But this time, he couldn't understand what was going on.
The shadow assassin ignored Zhou Ze and charged straight at Wang Kai, who was not far away.
"What's going on? Are you looking down on me … "
Zhou Ze felt a sense of humiliation. Even if it was a hero class, it should not look down on others like this. He snorted angrily, gripped his katana tightly with both hands, and slashed horizontally! He used the combat skill, Bloody Cross Slash.
However, just as the Bloody Cross Slash was halfway through, Zhou Ze's body stiffened. A notification came from the spirit world:
"Bai Xiaowen used the two-star mutated skill, Deterrence, on you."
"The enemy's mental strength is 31: 7. You will fall into a state of fear for 9 seconds."
Zhou Ze was shocked and furious. How could the state of fear last for 9 seconds? He immediately chanted, "Use the item, Green Lotus Seed, to remove the control!"
However, the next notification from the spirit world mercilessly shattered his fantasy.
"You have used a special item: Green Lotus Seed (Mature)."
"The basic priority of your standard profession is 2, the additional priority of Green Lotus Seed (Mature) is 3, and the overall priority is 5."
"Failed to remove control!"
