Chapter 118 The Strangeness of the Watery Land

Fang Yuan tried to circulate his Heavenly Martial Power to increase his strength and sink, but found that after his body was completely submerged in the water, he could not sink any further no matter what he did!
"The buoyancy is too strong!"

Fang Yuan withdrew his Heavenly Martial Power, and his body quickly floated to the surface of the water, with only his feet submerged.

Renxing looked at Lin Xiufeng expectantly and said:

"Captain, please transform into a tiger-dragon! Do you need my help? I can do it!"

“Willful—” Zhao Youyue glared at her.

Lin Xiufeng shrugged capriciously, deliberately trying to annoy her, then turned serious and made Zhao Youyue raise her arm.

Lin Xiufeng solemnly recited the incantation for a soul summoning spell in a low voice:
"The realm of silence, the eternal shadow, by contract I command you to manifest immediately!"

As the sound faded, Zhao Youyue leaned forward slightly, and the two of them, whose left arms and backs had seemed to be touching but were actually just a hair's breadth apart, were now truly touching.

A burst of black light suddenly erupted, enveloping the two people.

The Tiger Dragon King's luminous form suddenly materialized and slowly sank into the water.

She exclaimed excitedly, "That's so cool! I want to try it too! Zhao Youyue, don't be so stingy, I'm not going to steal your man!"

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue shifted their focus to manipulating the Tiger Dragon King's light body.

Although it is a body of light, the Tiger Flood Dragon King's ability to float and sink in water can be fully realized through Heavenly Martial Power.

Lin Xiufeng observed the changes in the Heavenly Martial Force and discovered that when the Heavenly Martial Force flows within the light body, it actually has a flow path similar to that within the human body.

Moreover, when passing through certain points, there will be a phenomenon of a significant increase in the concentration of Heavenly Martial Power, just like when it flows through the acupoints in the body of a Heavenly Martial Warrior.

In other words, mutated beasts also have star caves and acupoints, but they are different from those of humans.

Therefore, the Tiger Dragon King's underwater abilities were also achieved through amplification via star caves, which Heavenly Warriors could not imitate.

'Is the reason why the Bìbì can wield the power of the Heavenly Martial Warriors so unstoppable, simply because all one needs is the Heart of the Heavenly Martial Warrior?'

Lin Xiufeng's momentary distraction slowed the descent of the Tiger Flood Dragon King's radiant form. Zhao Youyue whispered a reminder in his ear:

"What are you thinking about? Focus! You can find another opportunity to do other things later. It's only been a little over a day and you can't even wait to do it."

"Okay, focus!" Lin Xiufeng thought to himself, "That's not how it works..."

However, he wouldn't be foolish enough to explain that Zhao Youyue had misunderstood.

As the Tiger Dragon King's luminous body continued to sink, the greater the buoyancy of the water, the more the luminous body expanded under the influence of the Heavenly Martial Force, and more water surged into it.

Lin Xiufeng then realized that the water was so clear that he hadn't noticed that it was actually more than ten meters deep.

As the Tiger-Dragon King descended to the bottom of the water, its ability to sense the fluctuations in the water allowed it to grasp the situation within a considerable range.

That wasn't something you could see with your eyes, but rather different water flows that naturally formed 'information' in the Tiger Dragon King's consciousness.

The subtle currents and strength of the fish swimming, as well as the turbulent patterns of these currents, were all information that the Tiger Dragon King could discern and perceive.

There wasn't a single fish in this area of ​​water with abnormal buoyancy.

By observing the range of activity of the surrounding fish, it can be determined that this area with abnormal buoyancy presents a semi-circular shape.

"It's quite obvious that something must be hidden in the mud at the bottom of the water, affecting this area."

Zhao Youyue took a deep breath, feeling a strange sense of anticipation.

"Next, it might turn into a battle between the Tiger-Dragon King and an unknown mutated beast. If that happens, it won't be good to call Qin Yong and the others over."

As Lin Xiufeng was considering the situation, Tiger Dragon King sensed that Fang Yuan, Ren Xing, and Zhao Youyue were there.

They went to the edge of the area where the fish were moving within their perception range, clearly making noise to drive the fish away.

"It must have been Fang Yuan's idea. As long as the fish aren't harmed, it's fine as long as we're the only ones who know about it!"

Zhao Youyue felt much more at ease.

"Then, get ready—to play in the mud!"

At Lin Xiufeng's command, Zhao Youyue chuckled, her previously focused attention suddenly diverted. She couldn't help but gently bite his ear and scold him:
"Can't you be a little more serious?!"

"Don't get distracted! Get ready—to burrow in the mud!"

Lin Xiufeng gave another command, and Zhao Youyue suppressed a laugh, focusing intently on controlling the Tiger-Dragon King. The Tiger-Dragon King, its four legs on the water's surface, its massive jaws pressed against the muddy bottom, violently thrashing downwards!

Before long, the giant mouth had shoved in more than halfway, followed by the head, face, and body.

When only the tail remained, the giant mouth that had completely burrowed inside had clearly encountered something extraordinary!
In the hazy light illuminated by the Tiger-Dragon King's aura, his gray-black scales were clearly visible!
"There really are mutated beasts!" Zhao Youyue asked Lin Xiufeng nervously, "Will they attack?"

"Bite!" Lin Xiufeng said without hesitation.

They control the Tiger-Dragon King, what else is there to fear!
The Tiger-Dragon King twisted its body violently in the mud, its giant mouth creating space, opening wide, and biting down on the scales of something hidden deep inside!

The Tiger-Dragon King's sharp teeth pierced through its scales, and the mutated beast in the mud let out a cry like that of a mandarin duck!

The bitten body struggled violently!

The soil in the water was suddenly ripped up, and as the soil spread, visibility in the water became temporarily obscured.

The large chunk of flesh that the Tiger-Dragon King had its jaws gripping suddenly lost its resistance.

The colossal creature hidden in the mud was revealed after being attacked, accompanied by a powerful force that stirred up the undercurrents in the water, even pushing away the Tiger Dragon King.

The information Tiger Dragon King gleaned from its perception of the undercurrents in the water told Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue that it was a colossal creature—

It is a fish-shaped creature that is over ten meters long, and it also has a pair of wing-like features.

Although the Tiger Dragon King is also ten meters long, it is mainly supported by its tail.

The mutated beast had a body like a fish, and its tail, though not long, was nearly ten meters long.

"Fish body and bird wings, it looks like a snail. They should live in groups, so how come it's so big? It's probably a king-level creature! Can the Tiger-Dragon King defeat it?"

Zhao Youyue was a little worried.

"It's alright. The Tiger Dragon King's bone density and scale density are both abnormal, making him very powerful in combat."

Lin Xiufeng had confidence in the Tiger Dragon King, after all, this thing was basically a super-powerful version of a crocodile.

The Tiger-Dragon King opened and closed its massive jaws, swallowing the large chunk of flesh it had bitten off whole, which instantly transformed into Heavenly Martial Power.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue piloted the Tiger Dragon King, swimming towards the enormous Yingyu.

The injured snail flapped its wings in the water, and its huge fish-shaped body accelerated as it charged forward.

Just as they were about to collide, the Tiger-Dragon King opened its massive mouth and bit down on the head and face of the Winnowing Fish!

The sharp teeth pierced the scales, and the powerful bite pressure caused the snail to struggle in terror.

A pair of bird wings flapped vigorously in the water, and the huge fish-shaped body struggled and thrashed violently.

The sudden burst of power allowed the Yingyu to break free from the Tiger Dragon King's giant jaws.

Only two rows of deep wounds remained on its head and neck, where bare teeth had bitten through and torn apart during the struggle.

The snail's tail swayed with its body, and with a whoosh, it lashed out at the Tiger Dragon King!

Lin Xiufeng instinctively tried to avoid it, but Zhao Youyue instinctively tried to control the Tiger Dragon King to bite the Winfish's tail.

The Tiger-Dragon King opened its giant mouth, swung its tail and accelerated its body to swim diagonally downwards to avoid the attack.

So he neither avoided it nor got bitten on the tail.

Instead, he was struck on the head by the snail's tail!

The heavy blow caused Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue's bodies inside the Tiger Dragon King to be squeezed together, as if they were about to be crushed!
The Tiger Dragon King was thrown around in the water for quite a while after being hit.

Lin Xiufeng, having regained her composure, suggested:
"The best course of action is to avoid it. This thing is huge; even if you bite its tail, you can't hold it back."

"Wow! It felt like my breastplate was about to burst!"

Zhao Youyue wanted to deal with this thing as soon as possible, but the force of its tail slap was truly terrifying.

In my perception, the surrounding area is a vast expanse of water, with towering waves!
A whirlpool surged on the water's surface, creating quite a commotion.

If it weren't for the distance from the base and the fact that the torrential rain covered the ground, the noise might have alerted Qin Yong and the other members of the Tianwu Group.

"Go again!" Lin Xiufeng gave the order, and together with Zhao Youyue, they controlled the Tiger Dragon King and charged towards the Winning Fish.
