"Mistress, I feel a presence of something behind us." Jiu Wei squinted his eyes as he told Li Shi Ying through telepathy. If only he could go outside to accompany his mistress...just now he felt something was following them!
"What is it?" Li Shi Ying glanced around as she gripped her cane tight. Thanks to the cane she could see 3 meters ahead clearly, but she also realized that this cane was a double-edged sword.
In this dark and cold water, even a tiny golden light would be easily noticed by others. It was actually the same as announcing her position to her enemy!
This battle wasn't a simple underwater battle…they also would fight where the surroundings were dark. The darkness could be a use for some groups but for the others….that could be a nuisance.
Could it be what Jiu Wei told her...it was another team? Another team noticed their position?
'Jiao Cong Ming, halt.' Li Shi Ying stopped swimming and turned around to block Jiao Cong Ming and the others to continue swimming. Jiao Cong Ming's position was right behind her, being protected by both Xie Mei and Zhan Jiouli at his sides, so it was easy for Li Shi Ying to make them stop moving just by a single signal.
'What happened?' Jiao Cong Ming stopped swimming followed by the other two when Li Shi Ying stopped him so suddenly. He almost had a heart attack when Li Shi Ying suddenly stopped and turned back.
Is there danger ahead? This lake is so dark and quiet he could only hear a faint sound of water from Xie Mei and Zhan Jouli's movements, but aside from that...he couldn't hear anything.
'Jiu Wei says that something is following us.' Li Shi Ying told Jiao Cong Ming without sound as she suddenly put the cane Long Ao Zhen gave her to Mao Mao's spatial storage.
'Follow?' Jiao Cong Ming squinted his eyes, trying to get what Li Shi Ying was saying just by watching her lip movements but he only caught the word 'follow'.
Li Shi Ying wanted him to follow her? No no, if that's the case she wouldn't stop. Wait. Don't tell him...something is following them?
'Prepare your array.' Li Shi Ying tapped Jiao Cong Ming shoulder as she poked Zhan Jiouli and Xie Mei. She gave them a signal to stay alert for a sudden battle. They couldn't get out from the array range, or else they wouldn't know when they would be attacked.
Li Shi Ying's black ponytail moved along the water as she swam back to her position. They had agreed on a position when they were under attack. Jiu Wei told them something is following them...it could be enemy!
BANG!
Just when Li Shi Ying prepared herself, the array around them shook, creating a strong water flow, immediately alarming Jiao Cong Ming and the other two. They felt they were being swept away by the water flow along with their array!
'What's that?!" Jiao Cong Ming held the flag tight as he tried to balance the array. He made it so the great would follow the flag but in this case, they wouldn't know where they would be swept to if the array didn't make them stay!
'That's a water beast, it can electrocute us to death just by using water as the medium.' Li Shi Ying squinted her eyes when Jiu Wei told her about this before. Just like her guess, there must be a lot of water beasts in this lake. The one that attacked them had the shape of a stingray.
Jiu Wei said that this beast could electrocute them underwater without even touching them! This beast came because it saw the golden light coming from her cane before. Just like what she thought...a light in the darkness attracted others!
Now...could the array hold such an attack? Should she summon both her water beasts now?! What if they got electrocuted too??
'Such a dangerous beast?!" Jiao Cong Ming only caught the word 'beast' and 'electrocuted' but he already could guess what the hell attacked them before. No wonder the array shook!
'Can the array hold against this beast attack?' Li Shi Ying only stays swimming in her place waiting for the stingray-like beast to attack again. They couldn't possibly attack this beast if they didn't have a good attack!
What was troublesome about being underwater was that not all techniques could be used. For example, fire attacks would be completely useless down here.
'It can but...who can attack that beast?' Jiao Cong Ming got worried since he couldn't attack. He had to focus on maintaining the array or else they would be electrocuted on the spot.
'Xie Mei, you try to attack it with wind the technique.' Li Shi Ying gulped as she nudged Xie Mei to try the first attack. Up until now, the beast hasn't attacked them again but what if it was preparing for a large scale attack?
Being underwater and facing a thunder-type beast…that was the worst combination ever!
'I'll try' Xie Mei catches the word 'wind' from Li Shi Ying and with shaking a hand, she quietly formed a mini typhoon before launching it toward the beast. The beast was swimming around their array so she had to get the attack right to the beast!
