It was an extremely charming voice, almost to the point of being pretentious.
Especially when she said that she was the 'Mermaid Princess', her pronunciation of the word was so tactful that it gave everyone goosebumps.
"No mermaid princess can separate her eyes like that." Adanis snorted.
"You!"
"If you want to come out, then cut the crap and do it!"
The clownfish who called herself "Mermaid Princess" spoke in an annoyed but still seductive voice, "I've already done it. They can't run away."
By the time she finished speaking, the group had already run several hundred meters, which was already more than they could have done before.
At this moment, they saw another fork in the road.
This one led to the top and bottom of the road. The upward path was blocked, while the downward path was unobstructed.
It didn't look like there was anything wrong with the path, and it was normal for the path to collapse. Going up meant reaching the surface, and when Nether City fell, the place closest to the surface would be the first to bear the brunt of the impact.
Therefore, no one doubted that the path was unobstructed.
But Angor was sure that there was no fork in the road! Or rather, this place was originally an upward slope, and it was definitely not normal for there to be a fork in the road.
Back in the Nightmare Realm, the place where Angor woke up was only one path away from the Fairsky Poetry Room.
Now, Angor could see the entrance of a cave, which led to the surface of Nether City.
In other words, the Fairsky Poetry Room was already very close to the surface of Nether City.
There was definitely something wrong with this downward path.
With this in mind, Angor quickly told everyone to stop. Under everyone's puzzled gazes, Angor quickly explained, "There's no downward path to the Fairsky Poetry Room. It's very close to the surface!"
To make it sound more convincing, Angor even asked the Wise Ruler to speak for him.
They didn't care if the Wise Ruler said something like this at this critical moment. They only believed in Angor!
"If that's the case, let's go to the upward path." While speaking, Dorcas rotated his arms, and the muscles on his arms began to expand rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, Dorcas' arms swelled to the size of a giant's arms.
Dorcas didn't hesitate. He leapt into the air and fiercely smashed into the collapsed rocks of the path upwards.
He didn't try to stop Dorcas at first. However, when Dorcas flew into the air and smashed the rock at an extreme speed, Angor's eyes widened.
It was because he saw the "energy nodes" on the path leading up. They were still dilapidated magic arrays and abandoned energy nodes. They were still crystallized by the accumulation of energy!
Using the crystal as his "eye", he saw the cracks forming a familiar pattern.
An enchanting tail, a round head, and crystal eyes.
It was exactly the same as the strange pattern in the fork! In other words, it was the other half of the pattern!
Only the combination of the two halves would reveal the truth of the pattern!
"Not good! Stop him! "
His words were meant for Elmi's ears. With his current speed, there was no way he could catch up to Dorcas' crazy attack. And even if he did, the powerful bloodline attack was not something he could easily block.
He had no choice but to send Elmi to stop Dorcas.
However, Elmi did not become a "meat shield". Someone was faster than Elmi!
A huge earth wall appeared out of thin air in front of Dorcas, and Dorcas' crazy attack smashed into the earth wall.
Large cracks appeared on the wall. One second later, it crumbled and turned into dust.
Although the earth wall had collapsed, it had successfully blocked Dorcas's attack.
And the one who cast the wall was … Wa Yi.
Of course, Wa Yi couldn't stop it by himself, but the Black Earl was now attached to Wa Yi's body. The Black Earl's power combined with Wa Yi's casting successfully stopped Dorcas's attack.
Dorcas landed on the ground and looked at Angor in confusion. "What's going on?"
The others also looked at Angor, including Black Earl. Dark Earl used Wail to stop Dorcas, but that was only because he trusted Angor's judgment. It did not mean that he found anything wrong.
Angor didn't hide anything and pointed out the location of the crystal. Everyone looked at the cracks around the crystal and quickly understood what was going on.
When everyone looked at the location of the crystal, the coquettish voice that carried its own echoes echoed in everyone's ears once again.
"Huh? You saw through it? That's amazing. "
As his voice fell, everyone saw the rubble on the collapsed road slowly dissipate. What appeared in front of them was a huge mirror.
Inside the mirror was a "mermaid".
Calling it a "mermaid" was a bit of an overstatement. It looked more like the ancestor of the Dugons, which Angor once saw in the Purification Garden.
The Dugons were Toad Skin Monsters, which were very unsightly. Their ancestors, the Dugons, were slightly better looking than Toad Skin Monsters, but they still had the strange appearance of a fish with a human face. They were completely different from mermaids, who had the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish.
If the human face of a Duon was not ugly, it would only look scary. If it was slightly uglier, it would not only be scary, but also a little disgusting.
The "mermaid" in the mirror only showed the side of its body, which was half of its body, but they could already see some of the style of a Duon.
However, it seemed to be the face of a beautiful woman, so it only looked scary.
However, when it spoke, that seductive and enchanting tone, coupled with its terrifying appearance, really made him feel a little nauseous.
"What the hell is this? It's so ugly!" Dorcas was very close to the mirror, so he immediately saw the giant face, which gave him a fright.
Dorcas' words seemed to have angered the clownfish. It narrowed its eyes and spoke in a slightly cold but still charming voice, "Ugly human, take back your nonsense!"
"Nonsense? Of course not! Ugly is ugly. Don't tell me you really think you're a mermaid? "Dorcas wasn't someone who would stop talking. The more he was asked to behave, the more he would react.
The clownfish said, "Don't just talk big. Come in if you dare. Show me what you can do!"
Dorcas said, "Why should I go in? Come out if you dare!"
The clownfish sneered. "Fine, I'll come out right away."
Dorcas was stunned for a moment. According to the normal way of quarreling, wouldn't the clownfish go back and forth and not come out? What? Did the plot change?
While Dorcas was still in shock, a fish the size of a forearm slowly swam out of the mirror.
Dorcas saw this and laughed out loud. "That's it?"
Just as Dorcas was about to say something harsh, countless small fishes swam out of the mirror. In an instant, the entire sky was filled with corpsefish.
They had different faces and tails, but they all had one thing in common — the scales on their bodies were all mirrors.
As the fish kept spreading, more and more mirrors appeared around them.
The others were still cautious, but Angor already sensed something wrong. "The mirror domain has been opened, and it's spreading with them."
The corpsefish did not attack them, but their existence alone was enough to make the mirror domain spread out!
"What do we do now?" the Black Earl asked.
"We can't stay here. Retreat first."
"But behind us …" Dorcas said.
"Let's go. I'll think of something." Angor quickly came up with a plan in his mind.
Looking at the Corpsefish that were constantly closing in on them, everyone was helpless because they couldn't attack at all!
Once they attacked, they would be pulled into the mirror space.
This was the result of Black Earl's experiment with a human-shaped earth golem. When the human-shaped earth golem attacked the corpsefish, it couldn't hit their bodies at all. Instead, it was pulled into the mirror space through the mirror-like scales on their bodies.
It was basically certain that these corpsefish did not have any offensive power. They might not even be considered living creatures. They were moving "mirror channels."
They knew too little about the strange abilities of the mirror world. They had no idea how to deal with these moving mirrors. They could only follow Angor's plan and retreat.
But that was not the way out.
After retreating for dozens of meters, they saw more corpsefish behind them. Again, there were so many of them that they blotted out the sky.
They were almost surrounded. There was less than 30 meters left where they could move.
"Didn't you tell me to come out? I'm here. Why are you running away?" A giggle echoed in everyone's ears.
"But you can't run away. I'll let all of you in here with me. "
The clownfish's voice seemed to have countless echoes. Even in the deepest corner, one could hear it clearly.
Dorcas no longer wanted to argue with the clownfish. He looked at Angor.
"Do you have a plan?" Dorcas asked anxiously.
"I'll try …" Angor did not say anything. He looked into the distance and suddenly appeared in front of a group of corpsefish.
"Mister Super Dimensional! Be careful! "Wa Yi shouted in panic when he saw this.
The others were also surprised. They did not know why Angor suddenly approached the corpsefish.
"Dorcas, get ready to retreat." Angor ordered through the Spirit Bond. At the same time, he swung his right hand at one of the corpsefish.
Before this, all of his attacks had been useless against the corpsefish. Instead, he was directly pulled into the mirror.
But this time, Angor's hand was pulled into the mirror as well. However, he quickly pulled his hand out of the mirror again.
At the same time, a group of corpsefish nearby was crushed into pieces and fell to the ground.
"He … he succeeded?" Everyone looked at the corpsefish that had been shattered for the first time in disbelief.
Angor did not say anything. He moved several times and reached his hand into the mirror each time. Every time he pulled his hand out, a group of corpsefish around him would be destroyed.
It looked like he was doing something.
However, Angor noticed that he could not destroy the corpsefish as fast as they were spreading.
Before this, they still had 30 meters of space to move. But now, they only had 20 meters left.
He did not need to calculate to know that as long as there were enough corpsefish, he would not be able to stop them all by himself. And judging from the current situation, the number of corpsefish was simply endless.
Angor could not teach others how to destroy the corpsefish either. His method was rather crude. He had to reach his hand into the mirror and break the connection between the mirror and the tunnel.
This required mastery of the power of space, as well as controlling how much one's body was pulled into the mirror.
Others might have mastered the power of space, but they would be sucked into the mirror as soon as they touched it.
Angor was the only one who could do this. He could not do it alone.
Angor killed another thousand corpsefish. However, the corpsefish did not stop spreading.
They had less than 20 meters of space left.
"Why did you kill my cute babies? Why are humans so cruel …" The clownfish was still giggling. But now, its voice was filled with sadness.
However, it did not mean that the clownfish had lost.
If this went on, they would still lose.
Angor sighed. "I'll attack the space nodes of the magic array next. Dorcas, get ready to open the plane passageway."
The Sage believed that if Angor and the others were in danger, he would be the one to save them. After all, he was the only one who could remove the space seal around the Chamber of Poetry.
What he did not know was that Angor could also attack the space nodes of the magic array directly to create ripples in the array and break the space seal.
However, this was the same as forcibly opening a plane passageway, which could lead to accidents due to the instability of the space.
However, the accidents caused by spatial instability could be reduced. As long as a large amount of main consumables were used, the damage could be reduced.
In other words, if they opened an Illusionary Tunnel, they could use more Illusionary Gems. Similarly, if they opened an Iridescent Gate, they could use Rainbow Hearthstones. If they opened a Shadow Tunnel, they could use Iridescent Crystals.
They could not guarantee that there would be no accidents, but it was still worth it to minimize them.
After Angor made his decision, everyone knew that there was no other way out.
Because of a moment of carelessness, they were surrounded by the clownfish. Because of this, their path of exploration had to end here.
It was a pity that they had to retreat. However, they were already prepared to face all possible consequences, including death. It was already a good result to be able to retreat. However …
They were just a little unwilling.
