Chapter 122 Disappearance (4)_1
Shangguan You glanced at the pitch-black entrance within the vortex; it was also cloaked in darkness. Are these water columns trying to pull me into the vortex? she wondered. Shangguan You’s lips curled into a cold smile. Despite the shallowness of the lake, it hides such a dark gateway. What secrets lie at the bottom?
Countless water columns sprayed into the air, trapping Shangguan You. The force pulling at her feet grew stronger and stronger. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! Wherever the Spiritual Energy passed, the water columns disintegrated into droplets that fell back into the lake.
"Shangguan You, you fool," Zhuge Feng chastised under his breath. He had told her to leave, but she didn’t. Instead, she had trapped herself. Seeing the dense water columns surrounding her, Zhuge Feng involuntarily took a few steps forward, aiming his gun at the vortex in the center of the lake.
BANG! BANG! BANG! The loud reports echoed as countless splashes erupted. The bullets were sucked directly into the vortex, vanishing into its depths.
"Zhuge Feng, step back! Don’t you dare come closer!" Shangguan You shouted at Zhuge Feng in the distance while dodging the water columns. If things get really bad, I can still hide in my space. But if Zhuge Feng gets entangled, that will be troublesome.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Zhuge Feng yelled angrily. The idea of abandoning her and running away alone was unthinkable to him; he would rather stay by her side.
Roaring in anger, Zhuge Feng headed toward the lakeside. What is water afraid of? What is water afraid of? Right! Water fears fire! A glint of excitement flashed across Zhuge Feng’s face. Hopefully, this will work. Hopefully, this will work!
"Wait for me!" Zhuge Feng shouted, dashing toward the kitchen. I hope this is useful!
Shangguan You felt the Spiritual Energy inside her slowly fading. A thin layer of sweat had formed on her forehead. While her upper body wasn’t bound, her feet were gradually being pulled down.
Damn it! Shangguan You cursed inwardly. She retrieved a bottle of Hundred Poisons Pill from her space. Hmph, if you’re alive, then have a taste of poison! Let’s see if it doesn’t kill you! With this thought, she tossed the entire bottle of Hundred Poisons Pill into the vortex. I’ll poison you to death, you monster! The bottle vanished into the pitch-black portal, not even a ripple stirring the surface.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! A few loud sounds erupted. All the water columns entangled in mid-air dissolved into streams, quickly returning to the small lake and converging toward the vortex. Meiyi and her four companions slammed onto the ground with a THUD, and the water around them slowly flowed back into the small lake.
Shangguan You breathed a sigh of relief. It seems the water in this lake has become sentient. My potent poison, not only lethal to humans but also, it appears, effective against water, has finally poisoned the lake.
The water columns around her had vanished, and the force binding her feet was also slowly dissipating. The once-turbulent small lake gradually calmed.
