The roaring lasted for almost a minute. Finally, the flying fishes seemed to have given up. The sound of the flood gradually faded away.
"Did they … give up?"
Tang Xiaoxi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked.
Xi Yan shook her head and said, "The flying fishes never give up. They will follow our scent and find us again. Now, our best choice is to leave this place immediately and return to Dragon City. We will rely on the defense of Domain Castle to avoid this disaster. I think the flying fishes have never appeared in the Prehistoric Mystery Land before. They must be under some kind of restriction that prevents them from leaving the Star Spirit Valley. Only by leaving this place will we be safe."
Lin Muyu furrowed his brows and didn't say a word. He finally understood why the other three Godly State experts of the Dragon League, including a Deity King, were killed without a trace. It must have been the work of these flying fishes. They didn't even leave any bones behind after eating them!
"Is there really no way to deal with these beasts?" Lin Muyu said unwillingly, "Sister Xiyan, we are gods. How can we be chased by a school of fishes? This is too embarrassing. Don't you want to kill them? Besides … I won't be able to get over being targeted by a group of fishes every day. I have to kill them and take revenge for those God Realm elites from the Dragon League! "
"There aren't many ways to kill the flying fishes."
Xi Yan nodded and said, "The Ghost Flood is not afraid of fire, nor is it afraid of frost, nor is it afraid of light and heat. Even the Fire of Gods cannot evaporate the Ghost Flood. The only way is to enter the Ghost Flood and kill all the flying fishes one sword at a time, leaving not a single one behind. That way, the Ghost Flood will dissolve on its own and become a spiritual force between heaven and earth."
"Kill them all … That's difficult." Lin Muyu thought of the scene just now and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
"What are the Flying Godly Fish's teeth made of? It can actually bite through divine walls. If I remember correctly, only Divine artifacts can bite through divine walls, right?" Qin Yin found it difficult to accept the fact that her defences had been broken.
Xi Yan chuckled, "Don't underestimate the flying fishes. They are naturally demonic creatures, and they are the bane of the God Race. Every flying fish has a lifespan of at least ten thousand years. They are all living fossils. Their teeth have been cultivated over a long period of time, and their sharpness is not below that of a divine artifact. However, there is one thing that puzzles me … "
She suddenly muttered to herself and did not continue speaking.
"What are you confused about?" Lin Muyu asked.
Xi Yan looked up at him and said, "Generally speaking, it's very difficult to form a ghost flood, and most of the flying fishes also sink into the sea to dominate. But … the ghost flood on land is really too strange. Someone must be deliberately raising it."
"Domesticated?"
Lin Muyu was slightly startled. "Someone deliberately raised these flying fishes and ghost flood?"
"That's right. Otherwise, there's no other explanation. The ghost flood needs an extremely strong supply of spiritual energy to sustain itself. The spiritual energy in the deep sea is very strong, and it's the birthplace of the natural ghost flood. But there's no such place on land …"
"Then … who is raising the ghost flood and the flying fishes, and what's their purpose …" Lin Muyu was also confused.
At this moment, Fuzhu's voice came from the depths of the cave, "Master, come and take a look here, there's a situation."
Lin Muyu raised the Xuanyuan Sword and entered the cave under the light of the divine sword. She saw Fuzhu circling around a rock that was about the height of a person. The rock was very strange, its shape seemed to be man-made. It stood in the middle of the cave in the shape of a cone. The surface of the rock was glowing faintly.
Fuzhu was about to reach out to touch it, but Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Don't touch it!"
"Why?" Fuzhu was stunned.
Lin Muyu smiled faintly and raised her hand to pick up a stone from the ground. Then, she used the sharp end to touch the strange stone. Suddenly, sparks flew everywhere. The strange stone's surface was like a saw, and it quickly ground the stone in Lin Muyu's hand into powder.
"My God …" Fuzhu frowned. He was a Mythological Beast that had lived for tens of thousands of years, but now, in front of Lin Muyu, Xi Yan, and the others, he was like a rookie who had just made his debut. This Star Spirit Valley was really a disgrace.
Lin Muyu said softly, "There are countless small wind blades on the surface of this stone. The eyes can't see them, but they are enough to kill people. Fuzhu, if you continue to be so careless, you might die one day."
Fuzhu grinned but did not say anything.
Xi Yan laughed.
"Sister Xiyan, what are you laughing at?" Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were puzzled.
Xi Yan covered her mouth and smiled faintly. "I think I finally understand the principle behind those wind saws."
"Oh? What do you mean? "
Xi Yan pointed at the stone in front of her. "Here, this is the reason for the wind saws. This kind of stone … is very rare, even in the Divine Realm. Xiyin, do you remember the Radiant Primordial Stone of the Western Divine Realm? It's a rare stone that can greatly improve one's cultivation. "
"Yes, I remember."
"Primordial Stones are the most primal crystallization of the power of laws, and also one of the strongest powers. The stone in front of us is not an ordinary stone, but a wind-type Primordial Stone. It contains the purest wind energy, and it is precisely because of the existence of this Primordial Stone that the wind saws are born in the air."
As she spoke, Xi Yan narrowed her beautiful eyes. "Moreover, there's more than one Primordial Stone here. Just one can't create hundreds of wind saws in the air in an instant. We … none of us should touch this Primordial Stone to avoid alerting the enemy. "
"Alerting the enemy? What do you mean … "Fuzhu was confused.
Xi Yan raised her brows. "Isn't it obvious? Someone is guarding this Stellar Spirit Valley, and this Primordial Stone is one of his weapons. Perhaps … those flying fishes are also his slaves. If we touch this Primordial Stone without permission, he will soon discover it. When he comes with the flying fishes, how are we going to defend ourselves? "
Lin Muyu agreed deeply, but she still stared at the Primordial Stone for a long time. "This thing is really good. Sister Xiyan, if we solve the problem and I want this stone again, what should we do?"
"It's simple."
Xi Yan smiled slightly, "I think the person guarding the Star Spirit Valley must know how to remove the defensive wind blades on the surface of the wind stones. He also knows how to activate the defensive power of the wind stones. We just need to catch this person."
"Then what do we do now?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
Lin Muyu also smiled. "It's simple. We'll hide in the cave and wait for the guardian to walk into the trap. That's the best way. If we go out, we'll fall into their trap."
"Yes, that's the best way."
Xi Yan pointed behind her. "Find a suitable hiding place and wait for the guardian to come … Yu, you cut off the rock wall to block the cave entrance. Are you sure it's okay? We'll alert the enemy if we do that. "
"There's no other way. If we don't block the entrance, Gui Hong will definitely rush in and we'll die even faster."
Xi Yan was speechless. "Interesting. I can't remember how many years it's been since I've encountered such a desperate situation. But it's quite fun. If the guardian comes in later, we'll have to subdue him immediately. Otherwise, it'll ruin everything."
"Yes!"
Everyone hid behind the rock and widened their eyes to look at the dark cave.
…
After who knew how long, just when Lin Muyu was about to fall asleep, there was suddenly a clanking sound from outside the cave. Xi Yan, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi were stunned. Was that the sound of chiseling?
The rock blocking the cave was at most half a meter thick. Even a Heaven Realm expert could shatter it with one palm. Why did this guardian want to chisel it open?
They were full of doubts, but it was not suitable for them to say it out loud. Everyone remained silent.
After chiseling for a full two hours, the cave door finally opened with a rumble.
But what followed was a clanking sound. It sounded like iron hitting the stone floor.
Lin Muyu squinted her eyes and looked over, only to see a white-haired old man walking in with a metal walking stick in his hand. His face was full of wrinkles, and he did not look like a Godly State expert at all. There was a green crystal lantern hanging on the walking stick, and he walked in with a swaying posture.
Was this the guardian?
Isn't this a little too ridiculous? Lin Muyu even suspected that she could kill him with a sneeze.
But just when Lin Muyu was in a frenzy of doubt, the familiar sound of water rang again. It was the flying fishes riding on the Gui Hong. The Gui Hong surged into the cave and danced around.
Qin Yin and Xi Yan widened their eyes and did not dare to say a word.
The old man stopped and looked at the flying fishes dotingly. He chuckled and said, "My babies, are you hungry? Come, grandpa will give you a delicious meal. "
As he spoke, he took off the crystal lamp on his walking stick and tilted it. A drop of blue liquid fell into the Ghost Flood with a whoosh. The entire Ghost Flood began to tremble violently, and the flying fish inside began to squeak as if they were very happy.
Just as Xi Yan had expected, someone was raising these flying fish. That drop of blue liquid should be the crystallization of Reiki, which could provide the real nutrients for the flying fish to survive.
Lin Muyu turned around and saw the shock in Qin Yin and Xi Yan's eyes.
At this moment, the old man walked into the cave with his walking stick and said, "Come, let this old man see who dares to barge into the secret room without permission. Flying Fish Demons, go in and search the entire cave. Kill them!"
The Flying Fish Deity obeyed the order and immediately flew into the cave with its Ghost Flood. It instantly split into a dozen or so Ghost Floods and started searching the cave.
If the Flying Spirit Fish were to find him, he would be in deep trouble.
If he did not act decisively, he would only suffer.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi had already raised their divine power and were planning to break through the void to grab the old man. However, they could not move at all. An invisible force had sealed off the area around them, and breaking through the void had become a dead end.
Lin Muyu was the only one who let out a low growl. The power of the fourth level of the Shapeless Elephant skyrocketed, instantly breaking through the barrier. Her figure flashed and in the next moment, she had already appeared behind the old man. She pressed the Xuanyuan Sword against his back and said calmly, "Don't move, or I'll pierce your heart."
The old man trembled. "You … you can actually break through this old man's barrier?"
