Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 191 The Price of a Talkative Mouth, the Whirlpool Sea Beast with a Clear Target

The roar of the giant vortex sea monster was like a muffled thunderclap. The moment its ring-shaped maw opened completely, the sea within a radius of a hundred meters suddenly boiled!
Two enormous whirlpools, each over twenty meters in diameter, formed on either side of the magic ship, the raging water tearing at the hull with a creaking sound.

"Watch out!" Ai Jiangtu's warning was drowned out by the roar of the waves.

“Crack—”

The wooden hull finally gave way, and a gruesome crack appeared in the center of the deck, allowing seawater to rush in.

The mast of the sail snapped in half under the tearing force of the whirlpool and crashed heavily into the boiling seawater.

At the critical moment, several figures soared into the air—

A pair of silver winged magical artifacts unfolded behind Qin Xiaonan, their streamlined crystal bones shimmering beautifully in the sunlight.

He hovered in the air, his clothes fluttering, calmly observing the chaos below.

The winged magical artifacts behind Mu Nujiao unfolded immediately. These winged magical artifacts were a gift from Qin Xiaonan. She floated lightly beside Qin Xiaonan, her long hair dancing in the sea breeze.

"Wow!"

Zhao Manyan naturally took to the air as well. As the young master of the Zhao Group, providing him with a winged magic tool was a simple matter.

Ai Jiangtu briefly suspended in the air using spatial magic, with silver spatial ripples spreading beneath his feet.

The two ice mages, Mu Ningxue and Mu Tingying, raised their delicate hands the instant they fell into the water, and the seawater within a ten-meter radius instantly froze into a solid ice platform, allowing them to stand steadily.

The most disheveled of all was the official fish.

The wind mage had not yet mastered the Wings of Wind, and could only wave his arms in vain as he plummeted straight into the sea like a stone, splashing up a huge spray of water.

"roar--"

The giant vortex sea monster roared once more, its sound waves creating visible ripples on the sea surface.

The ice platform beneath Mu Ningxue's feet shattered with a crash, but she didn't move before Mu Nujiao, who arrived just in time, lifted her up, and the two of them hovered in mid-air.

Mu Tingying was not so lucky; she was swept away by the waves, her clothes soaked through.

The fish was caught at the edge of the whirlpool and could only barely grab onto a floating plank.

The whirlpool sea monster had a very clear objective: to see Guan Yu and Mu Tingying fall into the water.

Four deep blue eyes were fixed on the two people who had fallen into the water. Its huge body nimbly turned in the sea, and the centrifugal force generated by the crazy rotation of the seawater instantly increased the surrounding water pressure by dozens of times!
"Help me!" Mu Tingying's cry for help was already tinged with sobs.

She desperately unleashed ice magic to freeze the water's surface, but the newly formed ice was instantly torn to shreds by the whirlpool.

The icy seawater poured into her mouth and nose, and in the chaos, her left arm was slashed open by sharp pieces of sail, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound that instantly stained the seawater red with blood.

Guan Yu's situation was equally critical; the wooden plank snapped with a "crack," and he was swept into the edge of the whirlpool.

"Shadow Dive!" In the critical moment, his body transformed into a black shadow and submerged underwater.

However, the giant vortex sea monster was not going to let him go. With a sudden slap of its thick tail, a high-pressure water cannon struck him precisely in the back.

"Pfft—" Guan Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Shadow Step state was forcibly canceled.

His right shoulder was sunken, indicating that several of his ribs were broken.

"Beast!" Ai Jiangtu's eyes widened in fury. "Spatial Rhythm - Compression!" Silver spatial power exploded on the giant vortex sea beast's head, but only left a few white marks on its thick scales.

Nan Jue's sound magic followed closely behind, and the ear-piercing sound waves exploded into countless splashes on the sea surface.

The giant vortex sea monster merely shook its head; these attacks were as insignificant to it as mosquito bites.

Seeing this, Ai Jiangtu unleashed his silver magic to its fullest extent, and a silver star map flashed wildly beneath his feet: "Spatial Rhythm - Rift!"

"boom--"

A three-meter-long spatial rift exploded on the back of the giant vortex sea beast, finally tearing a gash in its dark blue scales, from which dark blue blood gushed out. This was the first time since the start of the battle that the group had truly wounded this behemoth.

However, the giant vortex sea monster didn't even glance at Ai Jiangtu.

Its entire attention was focused on the two people struggling in the sea.

The fish's condition was appalling; blood was constantly seeping from the depression in its right chest, and blood foam was spilling from the corner of its mouth with every breath.

Even more terrifying is that the vacuum created by the vortex is gradually drawing oxygen out of his body.

Mu Tingying was already in a semi-comatose state. Her left arm was cut, and her delicate face was bluish-gray due to excessive blood loss. At the same time, her body slowly sank with the vortex.

Mu Nujiao had no idea that this was a sea beast summoned by Qin Xiaonan.

She unleashed a magical vine, as green as jade, that shot through the air and flew straight toward the giant beast in the center of the vortex.

"The Jade Bond!"

The vines exude a rich sense of life, reflecting a crystalline luster under the sunlight.

The magic was gently held aloft by a soft force the instant it touched the sea surface—the giant whirlpool monster actually reduced the tearing force of the vortex.

The sea monster's four deep blue eyes shifted slightly as it looked at the emerald green figure in the air.

In that instant, Mu Nujiao clearly saw a hint of human hesitation flash in its eyes.

What puzzled her even more was that the beast's gaze didn't seem to be hostile towards her; in fact, it seemed to show some fear.

"Roar"

After a low groan, the giant vortex sea monster's massive body slowly sank.

The bluish-black scales disappeared in the blink of an eye as they sank into the sea, leaving only floating debris and blood as evidence of the danger just now.

"They're gone?" Zhao Manyan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Nan Jue immediately swooped down, her sonic magic creating ripples on the water's surface: "They've indeed left."

Mu Nujiao retracted the vines, her eyes filled with confusion.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

As soon as Mu Nujiao made her move, the sea beast offered no resistance and simply left.

At this moment, Ai Jiangtu had already rescued the dying Guan Yu, while Nan Jue carried the unconscious Mu Tingying and placed her on the nearest reef.

"Make way! Make way now!" Nan Rongni's anxious voice interrupted everyone's thoughts.

The healing mage knelt on the reef, his hands radiating a soft, healing light.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of the fish's mouth.

Nan Rongni's healing light swept across his chest: "Three ribs on the right side are broken, one of which almost pierced through a lung lobe!"

A milky white halo enveloped Shangguan Yu's wound. "It needs to be immobilized immediately, otherwise it will leave permanent damage."

Mu Tingying's situation was even more dire.

She lay on the cold rocks, the wound on her left shoulder gruesome, her entire arm connected only by a layer of skin and flesh.

After examining her, Nan Rongni's expression changed drastically: "The meridians are all necrotic." She looked up at everyone and shook her head with difficulty, "It can't be saved."

"No, impossible." Mu Tingying weakly opened her eyes, her voice barely audible. "I am from the Mu family."

She fainted again before she could finish speaking.
