Dragon Lord: Starting from the daily settlement

No, why are there so many?

Upon being discovered, the crocodile demon could only force himself to surface and walk towards Shui Ying. He stopped about ten meters away from her, awkwardly tugging at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Just the few of you?"

Even as all the enemies appeared, Zhou Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke coldly.

"Now, you're still going to put on a brave face?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's confident and fearless demeanor, Shui Ying felt a bad premonition.

"A scoundrel who sells his head at a price tag!"

Slowly uttering a sentence, Zhou Yan murmured, no longer holding back, and spat out the heavy water. The heavy water tumbled and surged in the air, instantly transforming into dozens of round beads, each the size of an eyeball, pitch black, and as heavy as a mountain. With a whooshing sound, they swept towards Shui Ying, covering the sky and the earth.

"A trivial skill."

Shui Ying sneered and immediately reactivated the water-repellent shield on the jade tablet.

A stream of light appeared, obscuring her once more, and heavy water struck it, creating ripples.

But immediately, her expression changed.

"How is this possible?"

Under the fierce attack of the heavy water, the once incredibly tough water shield was now as fragile as paper. It only lasted for two breaths before shattering into countless tiny specks of light that dissipated into the air.

Heavy water droplets slammed into Shui Ying's body, producing a series of explosive sounds.

Before the demons could react, more than a dozen bowl-sized holes appeared on her body, and she was on the verge of death.

Dead silence fell over the entire arena. The four of them stared wide-eyed at Shui Ying's miserable state.

Seeing Shui Ying's appearance, Zhou Yan had a thought, and the heavy water gathered together to form a sphere that floated beside him. Only then did a satisfied look appear on his face.

This heavy water certainly did not disappoint him.

"What... what kind of divine water is this?"

At this moment, Shui Ying forced herself to ask Zhou Yan, her eyes filled with fear. At the same level, only special divine waters are completely unaffected by the water-repelling shield. How could such a treasure appear on Zhou Yan, a deserter from the Dragon Palace?

"You don't need to know." He looked at Shui Ying coldly, and the heavy water beside him once again condensed into a short sword, which shot towards her with a whooshing sound.

To shoot a man, shoot his horse first; to capture a thief, capture his king first. Since Shuiying organized this game, we should take her sacrificial weapon first.

"Help me!"

Shui Ying's expression immediately changed, and she roared at Jin Hua, "If I die, you'll really have no hope of joining the Dragon Palace!"

Jin Hua's face darkened as he looked at the black short sword. He gritted his teeth and went to meet it.

His body radiated golden light, and a sharp aura emanated from him. His remaining right claw was now as golden as gold. Then, with a long cry, he charged forward.

The two beams of black and gold light collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

The energy instantly spread outwards, creating a violent shockwave. The surrounding water was stirred by this force, creating large waves that overlapped and spread outwards, the water undulating violently as if boiling.

"Water monkey, shall we... shall we continue fighting?"

The piranha, looking at this scene with a dazed expression, asked the water monkey beside it.

"Hit, hit my ass!"

The water monkey immediately cursed, "This black water ball is chilling to the bone. How can we fight it?"

That water scorpion is a useless thing. It stayed with this snake demon for a month and didn't even know that the other party had such a treasure. It has really caused a lot of harm!

At this moment, a sense of retreat arose in his heart. On his side, the water scorpion was already seriously injured and obviously could not participate in the battle. The scruffy bird didn't look like it could hold out for long either, and the crocodile was unreliable. After all the calculations, only he and this silly fish were left.

"Ah~"

With a scream, the black and gold rays of light separated, the heavy water was scattered into droplets, flew back to Zhou Yan's side, and reformed into a sphere.

Jin Hua was in a much worse state. His other leg was also broken, with only a bit of skin and flesh connecting it. His upper body and chest cavity were pierced through, leaving a bloody hole a foot in diameter. The feathers all over his body had become dull and stained with blood. He lay helplessly on the water.

Seeing the creature's miserable state, the water monkey gasped in shock.

With such power, if they didn't leave now, when would they? They immediately put away the stone stick, dove into the water, and prepared to escape this place.

On the other side, the crocodile demon also plunged into the water in the blink of an eye, leaving only the piranha demon on the surface.

"Don't you know the nature of this snake demon? If you run away now, he will come after you to kill you."

Seeing the two demons about to escape, Shuiying immediately shouted with a grim expression, "If these two get away, I'll really be facing certain death."

"We'll only have a chance to survive if we kill this guy together."

Upon hearing this, the crocodile demon paused. Of all the creatures in Changmingze who had the greatest grudge against the snake demon, besides the water scorpion, it was himself.

The water scorpion is now useless. If I also run away, the snake demon will make a move to deal with me first.

The water monkey ignored Shui Ying's words and swam away into the distance without stopping for a moment.

By the time the crocodile demon came to its senses, the water monkey had already vanished.

"Damn it..." Upon seeing this, Shui Ying immediately cursed angrily.

Zhou Yan looked in the direction the water monkey had left, his vertical pupils narrowing slightly, but he did not stop it.

The heavy water around him split again, flowing and deforming into two short swords, one on the left and one on the right, floating in the air in a crossed pattern, surrounding and attacking Shui Ying, blocking all her escape routes.

"No, don't kill me!"

As death drew ever closer, Shui Ying cried out in terror, spitting out large amounts of poisonous mist that condensed in front of her in an attempt to block the heavy water.

"I... I can help you conceal your identity..."

Before she could finish speaking, the short sword pierced through the poisonous mist, striking her between the eyebrows, before flying back to Zhou Yan's side. Shui Ying stared at Zhou Yan with her mouth agape in disbelief before collapsing helplessly onto the water's surface.

Approaching her, it stretched out a paw and picked up the jade pendant from her bosom.

Having lost its owner, the spiritual light on the jade tablet gradually dissipated, transforming into an unowned magical artifact. Zhou Yan put it away without refining it.

This thing belongs to the Dragon Palace after all; there's no guarantee they don't have some hidden tricks up their sleeves. It would be better to throw it away somewhere else another day.

Then he turned around and swept his cold gaze over the remaining guys.

"Great King, this lowly demon is willing to surrender."

The crocodile demon shuddered and knelt on the water's surface as Zhou Yan swept his gaze over it, while the piranha let out a low growl at him.
