Chapter 299 Stay obediently in my arms

Jiang Xinli knew that the knight had a horse.

But she never expected that Lancer would be riding such a beautiful seahorse—

Its body is translucent, its glacier blue dorsal fin spreads out like a flag, and its eyes are covered with beautiful crystal-like armor.

“Miss Xinli, please step back.” Lancer leaped up and gracefully jumped onto the horse’s back.

The sea breeze lifted his glacier-blue hair, and Jiang Xinli could then see clearly that behind his ears, the glacier-blue ear fins, unique to the dolphin race, were fully open, and the gill slits on the side of his neck were also trembling violently.

He drew the gilded sword from his waist, but the blade was not metal; instead, it shone with a glacial blue light.

The other knights also summoned their own seahorse mounts and drew their swords.

The color of the seahorse mount, the color of the sword blade's gleam, and their hair and eye colors are exactly the same.

"Lord Lancer," they called out in unison, then mounted in perfect unison and followed behind Lancer.

Jiang Xinli was slightly stunned.

The warship had sailed to the vicinity of the platinum mist, and the magnificent palace was within sight.

"Look! The palace has disappeared!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Splash—" The surrounding seawater suddenly boiled and surged.

The warship, which had been as stable as the ground, began to shake violently.

The warship slowly entered the edge of the platinum mist.

The mist gradually darkened and thickened.

In the blink of an eye, the platinum mist vanished, and a thin black mist, carrying the scent of blood, completely enveloped the entire warship.

"Lili, be careful." Sheng Tianze held Jiang Xinli in his arms with one hand, and took out a long sword in his own hand.

Xuan Ying and Ye Kuo had spontaneously surrounded the two of them.

Jiang Xinli knew that Sheng Tianze was actually more skilled with short weapons, but he was afraid that she would get hurt, so he switched to using a long sword.

"Aze, I can join the battle too." She tried to get down, but Sheng Tianze held her even tighter.

“No.” Sheng Tianze lowered his eyes. “The situation is unclear right now. You just need to stay obediently in my arms.”

"Okay." Jiang Xinli obediently reached out and wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

"I have a feeling that there are several pairs of eyes watching us from within that thick fog," Xuexi said.

The fox tail behind her twitched unconsciously.

Jiang Xinli's rabbit ears trembled as well. "I felt it too."

"I say, is the energy cannon on your warship just for show?!" someone in the crowd scoffed loudly.

Jiang Xinli went to see Lancer.

He sat upright on his seahorse, intently surveying his surroundings.

"The seahorses they ride seem to be formed from some kind of unique energy they possess." Xue Qianxun's fox-like eyes swept around, her gaze lingering on the sword in Lancer's hand:

"And their swords, too, have blades that possess the same energy as their aura."

"Energy?" Jiang Xinli asked thoughtfully.

"What are they waiting for?" Hua Xi gripped the seven-colored feather fan in her hand and looked around.

There was nothing around except for a thin mist.

"Are we preparing to fight thin air?!" a fire fox orc laughed loudly.

A black bear-like beastman nearby warned, "Something's sinister here. Better safe than sorry."

"Silence!" Lancer suddenly spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone on the warship.

As if by some kind of magic, the scene suddenly fell silent.

All that remained was the sound of waves crashing against the ship's hull.

"Crack——!"

The terrifying cracking sound of bones being snapped and broken, mixed with eerie and painful howls, suddenly came from the deep sea in all directions.

"Holy crap!" someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

Moonlight Silver said in a low voice, "It seems that this Bone Echo Coast is also a testing ground."

"No wonder they kept walking along the coastline. Lancer and the others, were they doing it on purpose?!" Hua Xi snorted angrily.

Saint Tianze swept his golden eyes around and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle."

"Bang!" The waves suddenly burst open from all around.

With a whooshing sound, countless deformed monsters roared and shot out of the waves like arrows. Jiang Xinli's eyesight wasn't as good as the male beastman's, but with the water-repelling beads she wore, her vision was completely unaffected by the thin mist.

Upon seeing the scene, her pupils dilated in shock. "A deep-sea mutated beast?!"

Those monsters had heads like sharks and limbs like humans, with glowing blue veins writhing on their skin and fingernails that extended into half-meter-long bone blades.

They roared ferociously, leaping through the air with both hands and feet, and lunged at the outermost Deep Sea Royal Knights.

"Fight!" Lancer spurred the seahorse's belly with his long legs, and the seahorse transformed into a streak of light and charged forward.

With a slight twist of his wrist, the energy sword in his hand drew a crescent-shaped arc.

The moment the first monster opened its gaping maw, its body was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Lancer swung his palm out, sending a wave of ice and fire sweeping towards the monster.

The ice sculpture instantly vaporized, and even the black blood was evaporated.

"That Lancer actually possesses two superpowers!" Mo Lin exclaimed in surprise.

Sheng Tianze frowned. "There are more than two."

"Lord Lancer! Three o'clock!" a knight beside him reminded him.

Three crab-like mutant beasts with strange runes on their shells flanked from the side.

"Ice Wall!" The tip of Lancer's sword lightly touched the sea surface, and three transparent ice walls instantly rose from the seawater.

The moment the monster crashed into the ice wall, he swung his sword and shouted, "Explode!"

The ice wall shattered into countless ice spikes, turning the monster into a sieve.

"Hold the grass! Awesome!"

"Is this the strength of a level 7 sea creature with supernatural abilities?!"

"more than!"

"."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of bones cracking all around grew louder and more frequent.

A vast horde of mutated deep-sea beasts leaped out of the water.

They broke through the layers of defenses built by the Royal Knights of the Deep Sea and headed straight for the people on the deck of the warship.

"Protect the female master!"

Amidst the flashing swords and the stench of blood, mixed with the salty smell of seawater, the intense stench gradually filled the air.

"Ow—"

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

"Hold the grass!"

Bones shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.

The deep-sea mutant beasts continue to emerge, leaping from the deep sea onto the deck.

"What do we do? If this continues, it'll never end!"

"All knights, prepare—" Lancer shouted again, brandishing his longsword.

Upon hearing the command, all the knights stood in perfect unison and rearranged their ranks.

Their ear fins were fully extended, and as they breathed heavily, the gill slits on the sides of their necks opened and closed violently.

"3--"

"2--"

“1——!”

Lancer waved his pale hand, and an invisible sound wave erupted from him in all directions.

The seawater violently churned, forming deadly ripples.

The closest mutated beasts exploded and died instantly, while those further away writhed in agony, bleeding, before "plop" falling into the seabed.

The blood-stained waves shattered into countless dark red sprays that emitted a foul stench under the impact of the sound waves.

The entire sea trembled violently as the Royal Knights of the Deep Sea unleashed their sonic boom attack.

The thick fog gradually dissipated.

"The photon signal has been restored."

Everyone glanced at the personal terminal and relaxed.
