Chapter 29: Coral Forest Mist and Mysterious Shadows
Everyone was in a coral forest, with the sea water surging violently around them. Black tentacles stretched out from the coral reef like ghosts and grabbed towards them at lightning speed.
Yang Jian reacted very quickly, the three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand danced instantly, the sword light turned into a series of silver streaks, slashing at the attacking black tentacles. With a few "puffs", several tentacles were cut off by the sharp blade, and black mucus gushed out from the broken ends, blending into the sea water, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Ao Bing quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, the surrounding seawater seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, forming solid water walls to block the attack of other tentacles. Bajie was not to be outdone. He roared, swung the nine-toothed rake, and smashed it hard at the tentacle closest to him. With a "crack", the tentacle was twisted and deformed, but it quickly recovered and continued to pounce with its fangs and claws.
Feng Yao rode on the back of the colorful phoenix, her eyes wide open, and her hands quickly cast spells. The phoenix was engulfed in flames, and the fire, with the help of the water, formed huge flaming lotuses in the sea water, flying towards the tentacles. Wherever the flames reached, the tentacles were instantly burned to ashes, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
However, the black tentacles seemed endless, coming in waves. Everyone gradually fell into a bitter battle, and their physical strength was constantly depleted. At this moment, Yang Jian keenly noticed that these tentacles seemed to come from a direction deep in the coral forest, where there was a faint strange smell.
He shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't fight too long. These tentacles must have a source. Let's rush there!" Hearing this, everyone cooperated with each other, resisting the attack of the tentacles while moving forward in the direction pointed by Yang Jian with difficulty.
After a hard fight, they finally broke through the tentacles and came to the depths of the coral forest. There was a huge black vortex here, and the center of the vortex emitted a strong suction force, and the surrounding corals were sucked into pieces. Above the vortex, there was a vague black shadow suspended, and the face could not be seen clearly, but only a strong and evil aura could be felt from him.
The shadow saw everyone and laughed sinisterly: "Humph, you guys who don't know your own limits have even chased us here. Do you think you can stop us? The Holy Spirit Source Pearl is destined to be ours!"
Ao Bing shouted angrily: "Who are you? Why do you want to harm the mermaid tribe, and why do you covet the Holy Spirit Source Pearl?" The black shadow sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that anyone who stands in our way will die!"
After saying that, the black shadow waved his hands, and the suction of the vortex suddenly increased. At the same time, countless black mists emerged from the vortex, and ferocious ghost faces appeared in the mist and rushed towards everyone. These ghost faces opened their bloody mouths and made shrill cries, as if they wanted to devour everyone's souls.
Bajie said nervously, "This thing looks very evil, everyone should be careful!" Feng Yao looked solemn. She knew that she couldn't panic at this time. She quickly took out the Lingyuan Holy Pearl from her arms and injected her own magic power into it. The Lingyuan Holy Pearl suddenly shone brightly. The colorful light was like a sharp sword, penetrating the black mist. Under the light, those ghost faces disappeared one after another.
Yang Jian took this opportunity to fly up, pointing his three-pointed, two-edged sword directly at the black shadow. The black shadow was not in a hurry. He flashed and disappeared in an instant. The next second, he appeared behind Yang Jian and slapped Yang Jian's back with a black palm print. Yang Jian noticed the attack from behind, turned around quickly, and blocked the palm with the blade. The powerful impact made Yang Jian's arm numb, and the whole person flew back several feet.
Seeing this, Ao Bing immediately used the dragon clan's unique skill "Dragon Roar Shocking the Sky". He looked up to the sky and roared, the sound was like rolling thunder, vibrating in the sea water. This roar contained a powerful force, causing the surrounding sea water to boil and rush towards the black shadow. The black shadow was caught off guard by this sudden attack, and his body was wrapped in sea water, and his movements became slow.
Bajie saw the right moment, raised his rake, rushed towards the shadow, and shouted: "Take my rake!" The rake hit the shadow with great force. The shadow struggled to break free from the sea water, dodged to the side, and avoided the fatal blow, but was still brushed by the strong wind of the rake, leaving a shallow wound on his body, and black blood flowed out.
After being injured, the black shadow seemed to realize that the people in front of him were not easy to deal with, and he stopped fighting. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The vortex became even bigger and gradually swallowed his figure. Before disappearing, the black shadow said viciously: "Wait, I will not let you go, we will definitely get the Holy Spirit Source Pearl!"
As the shadow disappeared, the black vortex gradually subsided, and everything around returned to calm. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they all knew in their hearts that this
