Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 163 Deformed Fish Monster

Pei Nai's heart was filled with rage.

These monsters actually disguised themselves from the beginning and secretly followed them all the way?
This is what Grandma Xun said, the creature from the 21st realm that hunts humans.
But they were in the lake at the moment, and she couldn't even warn Grandma Xun and the others in time.

The next moment, the deformed fishman at the end of the waterway swam towards them rapidly. Pei Nai had no choice but to take out the Lingyue Spear from his side and prepare for defense.

Daxian looked back at Pei Nai, but found that she had not caught up. He turned around and looked into the distance, and saw a horrifying scene.

Densely packed, green-glowing fish-man monsters were approaching Pei Nai in piles.

Grandma Axun also felt the change in the water flow and turned around to look back.

Pei Nai's Lingyue Spear circled in the water. Despite the huge resistance of the water, it still created a whirlpool that was several times larger than her body.

The whirlpool engulfed the fish monsters in the front, making it difficult for them to move forward.

The tip of the gun scraped out a wind blade that reverberated in the vortex, and blood gushed out in an instant.

However, the many deformed fish monsters behind seemed to know that the way ahead was blocked, and they came around from the side.

The mouth that had been smiling eerily just now opened wide, revealing the sharp teeth inside, biting towards Pei Nai.

Fortunately, Daxian and his guards swam back and killed the water monster approaching Pei Nai with their weapons.

Pei Nai stopped the whirlpool and slashed across the water with his spear. The power of the spreading spear arc was greatly reduced here, but it still killed many fish monsters.

They were in a deep lake. Although they had internal strength to protect their lungs, they had already held their breath for a while. Now they were undergoing such a strenuous underwater attack that their lungs began to ache.

Pei Nai, Da Xian and others killed two waves of fish monsters in succession.

After repeated underwater attacks, the fish monsters had the upper hand. One of them seized the opportunity and bit the hand of Daxian's guard.

When Daxian's guards struggled, two of their fingers were bitten off.

The fish monster swallowed his finger into its mouth and chewed it several times, but before it could swallow it, it was killed by Pei Nai.

Pei Nai's lungs began to ache, and she felt a chill in her heart as she looked at the fish monsters that seemed endless to kill.

At this moment, an extremely huge black shadow suddenly appeared under their feet.

The black shadow almost turned the bottom of the lake black, and its huge size in this enclosed deep lake made people feel infinite fear.

But this giant creature leaped upwards and pounced straight towards the pile of water monsters, swallowing the fish monsters into its stomach.

Countless fish monsters disappeared in the water and their numbers dropped sharply.

Only then did Pei Nai see its appearance clearly: a head like a dragon in mythology, a long and thick huge fish tail, and a brown and black body.

It was 80% similar to the Chiwen statue she saw when they were passing through the huge border wall outside the Valley Kingdom.

Is there really such a mythical beast in the world? !

how come? !

As the guardian beast of the Valley Kingdom in legend, its arrival caused the water monsters to flee in all directions.

While Pei Nai was stunned, Da Xian put one arm around Pei Nai's belly and dragged her away.

Pei Nai was carried by him, his whole body arched in the water, with his head, arms, and legs facing forward.

As she saw with her own eyes and watched, the Chiwen swung in the lake, turned around, and faced them.

Unlike in mythology, the "Chiwen" in the deep lake has no eyes. It may be that after hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of evolution, they have been living in darkness and their eyes have gradually degenerated.

When the Chiwen approached them, Pei Nai didn't even tell Daxian because there was no need to struggle.

Ancient creatures of this size would be crushed into foam in an instant with just one bite.

What's more, at this time, they no longer had the strength to fight back in the water, and the remaining breath was only enough for them to hold on to their last breath.

Facing the approaching "Chiwen", the tree leaf under Pei Nai's tongue trembled abnormally again.

"Chiwen" seemed to pause for a moment, and then it moved its nose forward and touched Pei Nai's hand.

Pei Nai didn't understand, so he flattened his palm and cooperated with it. Then, the "Chiwen" raised its head, swept its tail, turned its whole body, swam to the bottom of the lake, and soon disappeared.

Why weren't they eaten?

Pei Nai had just exhausted a lot of energy and was now unable to breathe.

Everything under the water seemed blurred in her eyes.

In the chaos, she was dragged by Daxian into a circular passage between the stone walls on the hillside.

After climbing for a while, they finally touched the air.

Daxian panted violently and put Pei Nai on the ground. He looked at her drowning and felt a little helpless.

Just as he was about to try to squeeze her chest, Pei Nai shuddered and coughed up water to the side.

Daxian finally breathed a sigh of relief and leaned over to hug her tightly.

"Okay, let me go." Pei Nai pushed him while coughing.

Daxian was somewhat obedient at this moment, he quickly stood up and just patted Pei Nai on the back with his hand.

"Mingzhi's body is too fragile. I used to be a good swimmer." Pei Nai also sat up, covering his chest and lungs, and sighed.

Seeing that she was fine and could still joke, Da Xian finally relaxed and took off his fish skin coat.

He was not wearing a hood, and his hair was wet, which gave him a completely different style.

Grandma Axun came closer and squatted beside Pei Nai, clutching her fish skin clothes excitedly, and asked, "Pei Nai, were your Hun Shu slices used against your will?"

Pei Nai took off his cumbersome fish-skin clothes, revealing his dry hair, and answered her blankly: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Before you were resurrected, you didn't even know the use of the Hun tree slices?" Grandma Axun's voice trembled slightly.

Pei Nai nodded, somewhat helplessly, "Yes, when my father first gave me the Hunshu slices, he said it was good for eye protection and anti-aging."

Grandma Axun couldn't hide her smile, "It's correct, everything is correct."

"What's wrong?" Daxian asked in confusion, "Also, is there really a creature called 'Chiwen' in your country? Why didn't you warn us before?"

Grandma Xun then spoke up and explained the situation, "For a long time, among those who know about the Hunshu Slice, there has been a legend. Only those who are forced to use the Hunshu Slice, and are not willing to be resurrected, can resolve the crisis of extinction of the entire continent."

Pei Nai had previously heard this rumor from the master of the monk Jingjue, Abbot Shi Ming.

Pei Nai had thought they were just superstitious then, and even more so now.

"What does that have to do with 'Chiwen'?" Daxian asked with a frown.

Grandma Xun looked at Pei Nai and explained, "Chiwen has not appeared for hundreds of years. We even thought it was extinct. According to the rumors left to us by our ancestors, it can only be awakened by the savior who uses the Hun tree slices against his will."

Daxian also looked at Pei Nai, wondering what he was thinking.

"Monk Nakagawa, the god in charge of prophecy?" Pei Nai continued her words.

Grandma Axun didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I was awakened by him using the mud tree slices, so I think that your prophecy can be implemented and changed. Just believe half of it." Pei Nai patted her shoulder, then stood up, shook off the water, and completely took off his fish skin clothes.

Pei Nai looked at his intact, unwet clothes and exclaimed, "It's really waterproof!"

Seeing that she disagreed, Grandma Axun was quite helpless. She looked at Da Xian, but saw that Da Xian shook his head slightly at her, obviously not wanting to put pressure on Pei Nai.

Grandma Axun sighed.

Who can influence the thoughts of such a person who is held in the palm of the hand by Tianyao Duandinggong, Wanyue Xuebian and the future crown prince of Qilu?
Who would dare to persuade her to face the danger? It would not be fair to her.

If she is willing to stand up, it will be a blessing for all people. If she is unwilling, it will be the lives of millions of people.

Pei Nai folded the fish-skin coat and placed it next to Daxian's fish-skin coat. Then he concentrated his attention and looked at the secret place in the deep lake in front of him.

This is their final destination after traveling down to the twenty-one realms.

After many hardships, we finally arrived!
