In just an hour and a half, nearly six thousand frogmen were slaughtered, and their corpses piled up like a mountain.
Lin Xiao ordered the troops to immediately retreat to the border between the swamp and the shallow sea, taking away the Naga statue along the way. When he returned to the border between the swamp and the shallow sea, he took away the accumulated Faith Points on the statue.
The moment he collected them, the faint light of faith on the surface of the Naga statue disappeared. The statue seemed to have lost its color and turned gray, and just like that, it fell apart in front of his eyes.
"Who is it!"
A slightly familiar angry roar rang in Lin Xiao's ears. It was soul-stirring. Even with his willpower, he could not help but feel a little fearful. The murlocs around him all showed a panicked expression. Some of them even cried out in fear.
But this sound came and went quickly. In an instant, because there was no one to rely on, it dissipated, and the frightened murlocs recovered.
Lin Xiao looked up at the depths of the swamp in the distance. His powerful perception allowed him to feel that in the depths of the swamp, a huge consciousness was slowly awakening.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but in the direction of the awakening consciousness, the void seemed to be distorted. It was as if a circle of distortion was slowly rising, and a faint pressure was slowly increasing.
The creatures in the swamp were affected by this and hid in the black mud, no longer moving. Circles of invisible waves slowly spread out from the depths of the swamp. In Lin Xiao's vision, the circles of seemingly corporeal distortions were expanding, becoming stronger, and turning corporeal as the consciousness gradually awakened.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the depths of the swamp for a while. He stretched out his right hand and waved gently. The troops turned around and dived into the sea.
The Naga demigod was stronger than he had imagined. Just the signs of awakening had such an effect. If he waited until he completely awakened, he didn't know how powerful he would be.
"It's too difficult!"
Lin Xiao sighed halfway. Although the demigod and divine creatures were only one level apart, the difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth. He was just the incarnation of a Saint, and he wanted to fight a demigod. He was really bold.
But wealth came from danger. If he wanted to grow quickly, he had to take some risks.
He didn't return to the tribe immediately. Instead, he headed straight for Yuyuan City. He didn't dare to guarantee that the Snake-Man Demigod hadn't discovered him. He decided to make a trip to Yuyuan City first. It would be best if they didn't discover him. Even if they did, he could shift the blame to someone else.
However, he did not enter the inner regions of Jade Abyss City. With so many subordinates, he could not enter. Furthermore, he did not wish to enter either.
Yuyuan City was an important city in the Mermaid Empire. It was also an important fulcrum of faith for the Sea God. There was a Sea God Temple here, as well as a group of priests.
He didn't dare to show himself in front of the Sea God's Priests. With his true body's current strength, there was a high chance that he would be discovered. Even when he submitted to Jade Abyss City, he only sent a messenger and didn't go there personally.
Two months later, Lin Xiao left Jade Abyss City with his subordinates after sensing that the surrounding seas were calm and tranquil. The Naga Demigod did not seem to have discovered him, the culprit behind all this.
Several nautical miles away from Jade Abyss City, he turned back to look at the Mermaid Empire built on a large reef at the bottom of the sea. Naga's ferocious face opened and became even more ferocious. He thought of an even better idea.
After another half a year, Lin Xiao felt that the storm was about to blow over. He once again led his troops to the Blackwater Swamp.
This time, he directly swept through the frogmen tribe near the mouth of the Blackwater River. He exterminated all the frogmen in a familiar manner, leaving behind a mountain of corpses. He once again arrived in front of the Naga Demigod statue in the center of the tribe. When he reached out his hand to touch the statue, the radiance of faith gathered on the statue suddenly lit up, transforming into a tall Naga covered in glittering golden scales. There was a golden scale branded with a mysterious pattern between its eyebrows. Its eyes emitted a faint golden light as it swept its gaze over Lin Xiao. It spoke in a high-pitched voice filled with majesty, like an aria.
"Shameless thief, Glass has already seen you."
Before Lin Xiao could react, the Naga Demigod's expression suddenly changed as he spoke with a murderous aura.
"It's you. How dare you appear in front of Glass again."
"Holy shit!"
Lin Xiao, who was still in a daze, immediately recognized this Naga Demigod. It was actually an old acquaintance. It was the Naga Demigod, Glass, who had delusionally attempted to cross over and devour him during the extra test given by his teacher during the last class.
He had never imagined that the Naga Demigod would actually be a Demigod from this plane. It was very obvious that the Naga Demigod that his teacher had sent in back then came from the Naga tribe in the Blackwater Swamp.
With the addition of new grudges and old grudges, Lin Xiao could already foresee what he would encounter next.
He turned around and ran without hesitation. He didn't even want his subordinates' spoils of war and retreated from the Blackwater Swamp.
"Boom!"
A deafening sound came from the depths of the swamp. He turned around and saw an incomparably thick blood-red light shoot up into the sky and explode in the sky. It turned into a viscous blood-red cloud that spread outwards like a tide. It quickly spread several kilometers away and continued to expand.
An oppressive and terrifying pressure exploded like lightning with the blood-red light pillar as the center. Lin Xiao saw from the corner of his eye that the leaves on the swamp's soil trembled violently when the invisible pressure swept past them. The leaves slowly curled up.
The power of a god was as deep as the abyss. As long as it was a living being, it would have to lower its head.
At this moment, Lin Xiao couldn't care less about his elegance. He scrambled out of the swamp and into the sea, rushing straight for Yuyuan City as fast as he could. At this moment, only Yuyuan City could save him in the vicinity.
At this moment, the billowing blood-red cloud in the sky had already spread to a radius of several dozen kilometers. Following a muffled thunder, a golden light shot up from the blood-red pillar. In the next second, the blood-red cloud that filled the sky quickly flowed backwards and turned into a huge blood-red whirlpool. From time to time, a golden lightning would explode in the whirlpool.
Half a minute later, the whirlpool rapidly shrank to a radius of several hundred kilometers. With a loud inhaling sound, the whirlpool collapsed inwards in an instant, forming a human silhouette that was several dozen meters tall. The four limbs of the golden body slowly appeared, turning into a human head with a snake body. The total length of the body was more than twenty meters. The scales all over the body were like pieces of gold, and the vertical pupils were like golden glass crystals.
The snake-man demigod took a deep breath and swallowed the last trace of blood-red light. The face that seemed to be cast in gold slowly looked towards the sea. The golden glass vertical pupils revealed a hint of coldness, and without any movement, it disappeared into thin air.
Lin Xiao, who had already passed through the sea that was twenty to thirty kilometers wide, suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head. His whole body shivered. Without saying anything further, he ordered the team to split into two. Naga, the grey mist murlocs, and himself went into the sea and swam towards the northeast. Yuyuan City was just a few kilometers away.
The remaining team swam towards the southeast. However, they didn't enter the sea and continued to float on the surface.
"I hope we can buy some time!"
