Mirror Lake was located in the south of Mirror Lake City. The water was clear and there were plenty of fish. It was one of the most important sources of food for Mirror Lake City. Suhlen and Ockham soon arrived at the dock.
The dock wasn't big. The ground was wet. Many workers were moving the fish. The air was filled with the smell of fish. Seeing Suhlen and Ockham arrive, the manager of the dock immediately ran over.
"Your Excellency, Lord City Lord, welcome." The steward bowed respectfully.
"Alright, let's not talk about the formalities. Let's talk about the water monster first," Suhlen said, waving his hand.
The steward stood up after saluting and said, "Yesterday afternoon, we found that two fishing boats didn't return on time, so we sent people to search. Today, we found some ship fragments in the fishing area and some scales of water monsters."
Then, the manager handed over a palm-sized dark green scale. Suhlen took it and examined it. The scale was very tough and slippery. It was very slippery. It was very similar to the water monster Suhlen killed in the Red Sand River.
"Do you know where the water monster is?" Suhlen threw the scale to Ockham and asked.
"Sorry, we only know the general area where the water monster is active."
Suhlen said, "Alright, arrange a boat for me. I'll take care of the water monster myself."
Because the water monster lived in a special environment, it was very difficult to rely on a large number of people to besiege it. If there were too many people, it would directly dive into the water. Judging from the habits of this water monster and its preference for sneak attacks, it would definitely not come out if there were too many people. In the Mirror Lake City, only Su Lun had the confidence to kill the water monster alone.
"My Lord, it's too dangerous! Let me go. "Ockham stopped Suhlen.
"Alright, it's just a water monster. It's not my match. I haven't been active for a while." Suhlen patted his shoulder and said firmly.
"Then please let me go with you," Ockham said after seeing that he couldn't stop Suhlen.
"I agree. Hurry up and prepare the ship." Suhlen waved his hand.
Ockham's strength was at the Rank 3 Transcendent realm. Even if he encountered a water monster on water, he would still have the strength to protect himself. Furthermore, he would need someone who could sail the boat to help him.
Soon, the boat was ready. It was a small sailboat, six meters long and three meters wide. It only needed three to five people to operate. It was a fishing boat used by Mirror Lake City to catch and transport fish. After Suhlen and Zhang Heng boarded the boat, Ockham and the guide skillfully untied the ropes and raised the sails. Suhlen snapped his fingers and summoned a breeze to blow the sailboat away from the port.
Mirror Lake covered a large area, so it wasn't easy to find the water monster. Fortunately, Suhlen had a strategic map with him, so he could mark out all the enemies around. With Suhlen's Wind Elemental, the sailboat moved very quickly. The boat was like an arrow released from a bow, quickly sailing past the water surface.
Soon, the boat arrived at the area where the water monster appeared. Suhlen opened the strategic map and started looking for the location of the water monster. Soon, a large number of light spots that represented living creatures appeared on the map. However, most of these light spots were fish. The water monster didn't appear. It wasn't easy to find the water monster among so many light spots.
"My Lord, this is the location where the water monster appears," the guide said.
"Let's cruise around here a few times and see if we can lure the water monster out," Ockham said after glancing at Suhlen.
Under the control of the two people, the boat moved back and forth on the water surface. However, after a while, the water monster still didn't appear.
"Make some noise," Suhlen said. Su Lun said, and Ockham nodded. Then he and the guide began to beat the water surface to make sounds.
The fish in the lake quickly fled in all directions. Suhlen's strategic map quickly reduced the number of light spots by more than half.
As time passed, in a dark underwater cave, a figure the size of a small mountain was sleeping. At that moment, a pair of cold and evil eyes that looked like two lanterns suddenly opened in the dark cave. The body that looked like a small mountain moved slowly.
The mud and sand under the water suddenly rolled and turned murky. A huge black shadow swam out of the cave. A few thick tentacles swayed gently. Then, the black shadow instantly accelerated and rushed forward. After a few times, the surrounding water was no longer dark. The huge black shadow also became clear.
Suhlen stood on the sailboat and carefully checked the strategic map. At that moment, he suddenly noticed that a light spot on the map was rapidly approaching. In just a few breaths, the black spot was less than 100 meters away from the boat.
Suhlen narrowed the strategic map to the upper left corner of his eye and shouted at Ockham and the guide, "It's coming. You guys go back to the cabin. The water monster is coming!"
When the guide heard that the water monster was coming, he was so scared that his face turned pale. He threw away his tools and rushed to the cabin to hide. Ockham, on the other hand, took out his weapon and was eager to fight.
"Don't attack on the boat. Don't let the water monster crash the boat. If that happens, we'll have to swim back," Suhlen warned Ockham.
At the same time, Suhlen circulated the energy in his body. Suddenly, an undercurrent appeared under the water surface. Then, the undercurrent suddenly exploded and pushed the water monster that couldn't dodge in time out of the water surface.
A water monster that was more than 10 meters tall like a small mountain appeared on the surface of the water. The body of the water monster was similar to a human and had four limbs like a human. However, the front of the limbs was something like a fish's fin. There were also eight octopus-like tentacles on the back of the water monster. Its body was covered in a layer of dark green scales.
"Roar!"
A sharp roar was heard. Suhlen suddenly felt a wave of soul fluctuation. A Soul Thorn formed completely by soul power rushed toward Suhlen. The Soul Ring on Suhlen's hand flashed with a white light, and an energy barrier appeared in front of him. After the Soul Thorn hit the barrier, circles of ripples appeared and then disappeared.
Following the water monster's roar, a strange energy wave spread out. Suhlen was suddenly frightened, but it disappeared very quickly. On the boat, Ockham's face was a little pale. However, his eyes were still firm and fearless when he looked at the water monster. The guide, on the other hand, couldn't stand it. He fainted in the cabin.
"This is the Aura of Fear!"
Suhlen frowned. This water monster had a domain-type ability. This ability was very similar to the dragon's aura. It didn't consume any energy, and there was no limit to the number of times it could be used. With this ability, there was basically no need to worry about being surrounded by an army. As long as the Aura of Fear was activated, those who weren't strong enough and didn't have a strong will wouldn't even have the courage to face it.
Of course, this water monster's Aura of Fear was a little weaker than an adult dragon's aura. However, it was enough to deal with ordinary people.
"A Legendary-level water monster!" Suhlen took a deep breath. He looked at the water monster with a much more serious expression.
"Mystic Ice Slash!"
The Purple Dragon Halberd suddenly appeared in his hand. In the next second, three cold ice blades flew out from his weapon. Wherever the ice blades passed, the water instantly froze. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of the water monster.
The tentacles on the back of the water monster waved. A powerful water column suddenly appeared and hit the three ice blades. The ice blades collided with the water column and were frozen into ice pillars.
"Water Walking!"
"Underwater Breathing!"
Two beams of light flashed past Suhlen's body. After using Water Breathing, Suhlen directly jumped off the ship and rushed toward the water monster.
"Roar!"
A sharp roar sounded. The water monster floating on the water roared and quickly waved its fin-like arms. At the same time, it opened its mouth and spat out a dark green water arrow!
The surrounding air was filled with a rotten and sour smell.
Under the spray of the acid and poison arrows, the surrounding water surface had already turned dark green. Some of the fishes and shrimps that did not manage to escape in time had their bellies turned white. Then, they were completely corroded by the green liquid.
Suhlen frowned. The acid spray of the water monster in front of him was already comparable to the black dragon of the Pentashade. Although the black dragon's combat power was at the bottom of the Pentashade, an adult black dragon's strength was still at the Legendary-level.
"Haste!"
Suhlen's body suddenly sped up and dodged to the side. However, the range of the acid arrow was too wide. Even if he tried his best to dodge, some of the acid still splashed onto the energy shield. Then, he saw the area where the acid came into contact with the energy shield became thinner and corroded. In the end, with a soft sound, the energy shield and the acid disappeared together.
The energy shield was a level 5 spell. It had just taken a hit from the Soul Thorn and now the acid arrow. Finally, it shattered. The Acid Arrow of the water monster was very powerful. If it were to hit a Level 2 Extraordinaire directly, not many of them would be able to withstand it. Just now, the area where the Acid Arrow had been shot by the monster had been cleared out.
Strong acid attacks were not friendly to melee professions. They could corrode metal and cause great damage to the body. Even if one could pass the Constitution test, there would be terrible scars after the wound was healed. Only melee professions with more than 20 Constitution and Advanced Tenacity and Regeneration could ignore this kind of attack.
Seeing that Suhlen had dodged the acid arrow, the water monster turned its huge body and quickly rushed up. Although it was a little surprised by Suhlen's escape, as the strongest overlord in the water, it didn't think that the little human would be a match for it.
As a water monster, the lake was its home ground. It was like a fish in water here. Its fin-like arms waved gently, and the water monster rushed up quickly. At the same time, it spat out another acid arrow from its mouth.
"Summon Wind Elementals!"
The wind whistled on the surface of the water. Two large Wind Elementals that were five or six meters tall appeared on the surface of the water. These Wind Elementals had electric arcs jumping on their bodies from time to time. As soon as they appeared, they rushed up under Suhlen's command.
