Just as Zhou Wen was about to say something, he suddenly heard a splash as though a bomb had exploded in the water.
Both of them turned their heads and saw waves rising in the lotus pond like an erupting volcano. Amidst the waves, a gigantic lotus flower with a diameter of more than ten meters bloomed.
The lotus flower was somewhat different from ordinary Buddha Heart Lotuses. Ordinary Buddha Heart Lotuses had pure white petals, but although this Buddha Heart Lotus's petals were also white, there were many blood-colored patterns on them. The blood-colored patterns were faintly discernible, outlining the silhouette of a seated Buddha. It was as though there was a blood-colored seated Buddha on every petal.
Luo Xuan rode the White-Winged Flying Horse to dodge the splashes in midair, but the splashes had long splashed onto the White-Winged Flying Horse.
The White-Winged Flying Horse neighed in pain. Its snow-white hide was corroded by the droplets of water, forming bloody holes. It looked very terrifying.
Luo Xuan's expression turned nasty as he desperately steered the White-Winged Flying Horse towards the bank. If he were to fall into the water now, it would be difficult for him and the White-Winged Flying Horse to survive.
Reality wasn't a game. Be it humans or Companion Beasts, death was death. There was no chance of a revival. It was unlike Zhou Wen's phone game, where he could revive after death.
Luo Xuan wanted to escape, but unfortunately, the demonic Buddha Heart Lotus had no intention of letting him off. A lotus seed the size of a basketball spewed out from the lotus pod, smashing towards the White-Winged Flying Horse and Luo Xuan like a cannonball.
The typical Buddha Heart Lotus spewed out lotus seeds that were emerald-green in color, but this lotus seed was blood-red like a crystal, as though it was condensed from blood. It instantly arrived in front of Luo Xuan.
The White-Winged Flying Horse couldn't dodge in time as Luo Xuan drew his sword and slashed. With a cold flash, the sword slashed into the blood-colored lotus seed, but before his sword could completely slice through it, Luo Xuan's expression changed.
Almost instantly, Luo Xuan sheathed his sword and got up. With a tap of his toes on the White-Winged Flying Horse's back, he retreated two to three meters like an eagle.
Bam!
At the same time, the blood-colored lotus seed exploded, turning into a rain of blood that enveloped the White-Winged Flying Horse.
Following that, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan saw a terrifying scene. When the blood rain landed on the White-Winged Flying Horse, it was like red-hot metal encountering snow. It instantly melted the White-Winged Flying Horse's flesh.
In just a few breaths of time, a large portion of the White-Winged Flying Horse's flesh had melted away, revealing its ghastly white bones. It only had time to let out a miserable neigh before it fell into the lotus pond. No matter how one looked at it, it was impossible for it to survive.
"Little White …" Luo Xuan shouted in grief and indignation, but it was useless, and he was still in danger.
He was still at least five to six hundred meters away from the shore. The White-Winged Pegasus was already dead, and he definitely didn't have the ability to fly. This lotus pond, which was five to six hundred meters wide, was no different from hell to him.
Even if Zhou Wen and Li Xuan wanted to help, they were helpless. They didn't have any flying Companion Beasts or Invincible Vajra Bodies. All they could do was watch helplessly from the side.
Just when the two of them thought that Luo Xuan was dead for sure, they saw Luo Xuan tap the tip of his foot on the lotus leaf. As if he was weightless, he borrowed the force to rise up and step onto another lotus leaf.
"Eh, that pretty boy actually has some tricks up his sleeve. He even knows a Primordial Energy Skill that's related to alacrity," Li Xuan exclaimed softly.
Zhou Wen was intrigued when he saw Luo Xuan leaping onto the lotus leaf. The fragile lotus leaf only swayed gently without being snapped by him.
"Is there a place in Sunset College's dimensional zone that produces alacrity Primordial Energy Skills?" Zhou Wen asked Li Xuan.
"Of course. The most famous place is Dragon Gate Grotto," Li Xuan said.
Zhou Wen was already planning on making a trip to Dragon Gate Grotto when he had the chance. If he could download Dragon Gate Grotto as a game dungeon, he could grind for alacrity Primordial Energy Skills without fear. Such Primordial Energy Skills seemed very useful. Even if he couldn't beat his opponent, he could still escape.
Bam! Bam!
Luo Xuan used the lotus leaf to leap, but before he could jump far, he heard the sound of cannonballs being fired. Then, he saw more than a dozen blood-colored lotus seeds enveloping him, sealing off all his escape routes, leaving him with no room to dodge.
Although Luo Xuan still had half a sword remnant in his hand, the sword was useless against the blood-colored lotus seeds. After slicing them apart, the might of their explosions would be even stronger.
Gritting his teeth, the clothes on Luo Xuan's back tore apart, revealing a blue ox tattoo. In the next second, the blue ox tattoo tore out of his body, transforming into a blue bull Companion Beast that appeared in front of Luo Xuan, blocking the blood-colored lotus seeds.
With the blue ox's shield, Luo Xuan finally found a chance of survival. At the critical moment, he rushed out of the blood-colored lotus seeds' encirclement.
However, the blue ox Companion Beast was in a tragic state. It was stained by the blood from the explosion of the blood-colored lotus seeds. Its flesh and blood corroded as it fell into the pool with a tragic cry.
"That pretty boy Luo Xuan sure is rich. He actually has two Mortal Companion Beasts. Unfortunately, even so, he won't be able to escape death. He's just too far from the shore," Li Xuan said with a shake of his head.
Zhou Wen ignored Li Xuan as he stared at the lotus pond.
The White-Winged Flying Horse and the blue ox had fallen into the lotus pond. Their flesh and blood had corroded, reducing them to a pile of bones at the bottom of the pond.
This terrifying scene made Zhou Wen recall his Mutated Skeleton Ant.
The lotus pond and the Buddha Heart Lotus's blood seemed to only corrode flesh and blood. The bones weren't corroded. Then, could the Mutated Skeleton Ant, whose entire body had been reduced to bones, survive in the lotus pond?
After some thought, Zhou Wen summoned the Mutated Skeleton Ant and ordered it to approach the lotus pond. Then, he extended one of its claws into the lotus pond's water.
The Mutated Skeleton Ant flew out from the back of Zhou Wen's hand. It looked like it was made of blood-stained bones, and its body was covered in bone spikes. Now, it was much larger than its Evolved body. It resembled a skeleton tank, looking even more ferocious and terrifying than in-game.
"Holy sh * t, what Companion Beast is this?" Li Xuan was given a fright by the Mutated Skeleton Ant's sudden appearance. Only then did he react and realize that it was Zhou Wen's Companion Beast.
"Skeleton Ant," Zhou Wen answered casually as he controlled the Skeleton Ant to extend one of its claws into the lotus pond.
"What are you doing?" Li Xuan jumped in fright.
However, Li Xuan soon realized that the Skeleton Ant's claws were completely fine when it reached into the water. It wasn't corroded by the lotus pond's water.
Only then did Zhou Wen confirm that his guess was right. The Mutated Skeleton Ant that had transformed into bones wasn't afraid of the lotus pond's water.
With a thought, the Mutated Skeleton Ant slowly entered the lotus pond. Its body came into contact with the pond's water, but nothing happened. Clearly, the pond's water had no effect on it.
