Chapter 233

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but emptiness. There were no traces of humans at all, only broken limbs floating in the air.

As he spread his consciousness, there were no other living creatures other than the water monsters.

Furthermore, there was a huge ball formed by ten thousand water monsters in the distance. The monk did not dare to approach it rashly.

"Could he have been eaten by the water monsters? But his body is very strong. These water monsters can't break through his defense at all."

The monk frowned in disbelief. After fighting with Zi Chen a few times, he knew how strong Zi Chen was.

Suddenly, he looked at the giant meatball-like water monster. His face was filled with disbelief as he said in surprise, "Don't tell me he's surrounded by water monsters."

Although it was a bold idea, it seemed to be the only reasonable explanation at the moment. Hence, the monk braced himself and followed him.

"Boom!"

As the water monsters went deeper, Zi Chen felt a strong energy fluctuation. The water at the bottom of the lake was surging violently. The huge ball formed by the ten thousand water monsters felt like it was about to be blown away.

Loud shouts were heard as the surging energy kept rolling.

"These are the three monsters." Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat.

As he spread his consciousness, he saw more water monsters. They were densely packed and were bigger in size. One of them was ten meters long and looked like a small dragon. Its body was surging with a terrifying aura.

It was at the bottom of the lake and was as fast as lightning. It kept shuttling and stirring up huge waves, restraining the three monsters in a fierce battle.

Three against one.

Zi Chen was shocked. Although Zi Chen had not seen the combat power of the three monsters, they were obviously not weak since they could fight the monk to a draw. However, it was three against one at the moment.

Not only was the ten-meter-long water monster not defeated by the joint attack of the three freaks, it even had the upper hand.

Around it, there were water monsters that were close to five meters long. They kept attacking the cultivators who followed them. Among them were the True Energy Realm experts brought by the three monsters.

They were the first to enter the lake and sneaked into the ground before a large number of water monsters appeared.

There were many water monsters at the bottom of the lake and there were even stronger ones in the depths. Even the True Energy Realm experts had a hard time resisting them.

Pfft.

Here, long sabers and swords brought a lot of resistance, affecting one's speed. Only short swords could reduce the resistance.

"Chi."

A thick bolt of lightning shot out from the water monster's mouth, passing through the water and landing on a Zhen Yuan powerhouse. The latter's hair stood on end, and his body went numb. His sensitivity immediately decreased.

Following that, the water monster rushed forward with a five-meter-long head, charging towards the True Essence powerhouse.

During this period of time, the True Energy Boundary powerhouses surged their True Energy and killed dozens of water monsters, but even more water monsters came.

"Bang."

The Quintessence light shield shattered, and the Quintessence expert was exposed outside. Hundreds of water monsters swarmed over like a ball of meat, continuously surging forward.

It only took a few breaths of time.

When the meatball fell apart, it was completely empty. Not even the bones of the True Energy Boundary expert were left behind.

In terms of true strength, the water monsters were naturally not a match for a true essence powerhouse. But at the bottom of the lake, there was the restriction of thunder and lightning, as well as the advantage of numbers. This was the home field of the other party, so one powerhouse after another was exhausted to death.

At this moment, it was impossible for them to run even if they wanted to.

Once they ran, more water monsters would swarm over, as if they had practiced the art of group fighting. Once they formed a meatball, everything would be over.

Zi Chen saw everything with his mind, and his face turned pale. The meatball just now only had a few hundred water monsters, but now he was surrounded by ten thousand water monsters. Once they attacked, even if Zi Chen had the perfect body, there would be nothing left of him.

The three monstrous geniuses were very strong, and they were still full of energy.

The resistance in the water was great, but the black saber in Cang Meng's hand was as flexible as an arm. Every slash was accompanied by a saber light, and wherever it passed, all the water monsters would be split in half.

Moreover, the Quintessence light shield around him had an offensive ability, and all the water monsters that tried to get close to him were killed.

"Weng."

After unleashing that slash, hundreds of water monsters charged towards Cang Meng, firing out bolts of lightning at him. Next, a high number of water monsters surrounded Cang Meng, forming a meatball around him.

But then, Cang He's body emitted ten thousand rays of light, and each ray of light was like a sharp blade, piercing through the water monsters' bodies, and the latter fell into the depths of the lake.

Li Hao's body emitted a red light, which seemed to be a kind of flame, but it was suppressed at the bottom of the lake. Although it was not as strong as Cang Meng, it was still difficult for the water monsters to get close to him.

"Peng."

The lake water trembled. Wu Yuan could still use the Shattering Palm in the water, and a terrifying palm print appeared, instantly creating a vacuum in the middle of the lake. Then, the palm print fell, killing countless water monsters.

The three's attack was very sharp, but it was not to kill the ordinary water monsters, but to kill that big guy. It was ten meters long, like a small dragon, and had a small horn on its forehead. It was very fast, and the thunder and lightning it shot was very threatening.

Previously, it had even swallowed a True Yuan Third Sky warrior in one gulp.

The big water monster was very slippery, and its speed was very fast. It was like a flash of lightning, wandering between the attacks. Sometimes, it would shoot out a dangerous thunder, and sometimes, it would use its body to launch a powerful attack.

"Peng."

After dodging Wu Yuan's attack, the big water monster swung its tail, hitting Wu Yuan's chest. With a loud explosion, Wu Yuan was directly pushed back.

"Damn it! If we were up there, I could kill you alone." Wu Yuan was anxious, and once again flashed up.

At the same time, the other two monstrous geniuses were also affected. Although it was not enough to kill them, it was still a loss of face.

"Go to hell." Cang Meng snorted coldly, and his eyes flashed with murderous light. He had completely gone crazy.

The sharp blade light appeared again, more than ten meters long, and slashed towards the big water monster from above.

The water flow was separated, and the saber light slashed down at an extremely fast speed. The latter was very slippery, and could sense the location of the saber light from the water flow. He dodged in an instant, but at that moment, something strange happened. The thick saber light suddenly turned into two, then four, and finally eight.

Eight miniature blade lights slashed the water apart, and fell at an extremely fast speed.

"Puff."

Blood splattered everywhere as the big water monster tried its best to dodge. However, two blade lights still landed on its body, and two huge wounds appeared.

Wu Yuan and Li Hao did not want to be outdone, and also launched a powerful attack.

Instantly, the big water monster let out a miserable cry, and more wounds appeared on its body.

"Wuuu."

The big water monster let out a sharp cry, as if it was summoning its underlings. The water around them continued to surge, and more water monsters appeared, besieging the three monstrous geniuses.

"The strength of these three monstrous geniuses is indeed frightening." Zi Chen was shocked as he saw everything with his mind.

To be honest, if he encountered this big water monster, there was only one way to go, and that was to run away. Not to mention getting injured, it would be a problem if he could even run away.

He was only in the Connate Realm now, and there was no way he could compete with these monstrous geniuses. At this moment, Zi Chen knew the difference between them just by looking at the three monstrous geniuses fighting against the water monsters.

"I must become stronger." Zi Chen clenched his fists, full of desire for power.

Following the call of the big water monster, more and more water monsters appeared, densely packed and endless. It seemed that this time, it had summoned all the water monsters within a few miles.

However, not all of the water monsters responded to the summons. Some of the water monsters gathered around Zi Chen, causing the ball to grow even larger. Once again, the ten thousand water monsters became tens of thousands. It was a terrifying sight.

Zi Chen felt his hair stand on end.

With so many water monsters joining in, the remaining True Energy Realm experts who were still holding on were exhausted and gradually lost. These water monsters seemed to be endless.

Finally, in the midst of screams, the water monsters turned into meatballs. When the meatballs dissipated, the cultivators would be killed.

Monk followed behind the giant ball. He wasn't sure if Zi Chen was inside, but it was very likely. Therefore, he followed carefully.

Along the way, he casually killed some water monsters that were left alone without any danger. However, after the big water monster was injured, it summoned its underlings, and water monsters came from all directions. Some of them noticed Monk and immediately swarmed towards him.

"Damn it. You guys could have just gone to find the ice lotus. Why did you have to be so arrogant and hurt them? What a bunch of idiots."

Looking at the hundreds and even thousands of water monsters around him, Monk's scalp went numb. He didn't look like a monk at all. He opened his mouth and cursed. Then, he raised his protective light shield and attacked continuously.

"Bang." "Bang."

Loud sounds were heard. Monk was no longer merciful at this moment. He attacked decisively and killed many water monsters.

"It's that damn monk. That damn guy." Hearing the sound, Zi Chen scanned with his mind and found Monk. He was so angry that his teeth itched.

But at this moment, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of water monsters. He couldn't give Monk a sneak attack.

"No, they are all fighting. I should take the opportunity to get the ice lotus." Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat. He felt that this was an opportunity.

However, the group of water monsters did not move anymore.

"Buzz."

Around Zi Chen, the golden light once again vibrated. After more than ten vibrations, it finally attracted the attention of the water monsters. The water monsters once again moved, continuing to head deeper into the depths. Furthermore, Zi Chen was extremely cautious, using his will to search for any possible location where the ice lotus might be.

"Bang."

After fighting for a long time, Monk felt that something was wrong. Then, he raised his light shield and stopped killing the water monsters. He let them form into a giant ball and sink.

One big ball and one small ball, the two balls went deeper into the lake.

While going down, Zi Chen's mind scanned every corner in search of the ice lotus. But to no avail.

After about ten meters, when he was close to the bottom of the lake, Zi Chen used his mind to find a cave.

The cave was two meters wide and ten meters deep. After the water monsters landed here, they stopped moving. They closed their eyes and seemed to be taking a nap.

The golden light around Zi Chen flickered and vibrated, but the water monsters didn't move forward. It was as if there was a forbidden area in front of them.

Unwilling to give up, Zi Chen could only use his mind to explore the cave. When his mind reached the depths of the cave, Zi Chen was stunned.

In the depths of the cave, there was a half-meter long piece of ice. In the middle of the ice, there was a lotus. It was vivid and sparkling.

It was the ice lotus.

"It's here."

Zi Chen's eyes lit up. He finally found the ice lotus. But before he could think of a way to get out of the encirclement, he saw a small ball falling from above and going straight to the cave.
