Chapter 165 : Terror Among the Group Members
Chapter 165: Terror Among the Group Members
When the many members of the Righteous Path heard Tian Buyi’s words from above, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Soon after, they rallied their spirits, united together, and continuously bombarded the marine creatures that were charging toward them.
Lu Xueqi had only just left the battlefield when countless large marine creatures charged toward her, launching a frenzied assault.
After being contaminated by the black aura and crimson light, many of these marine creatures had actually developed the ability to fly, which surprised Lu Xueqi quite a bit.
As Lu Xueqi looked at the marine creatures rushing toward her to kill her, she showed not the slightest concern.
Thunder flickered around her body, golden lightning continuously surging forth, and in the next instant it blasted out in all directions.
Under Lu Xueqi’s golden lightning, those marine creatures did not even have the strength to withstand a single exchange, all falling in the blink of an eye.
However, after searching above for a while, Lu Xueqi slightly frowned, because she had not found where the source of the mutation actually was.
She could not help but speculate inwardly: could the source of the mutation be in the water?
Lu Xueqi’s figure flashed, and she instantly plunged into the water, heading straight toward the location where Kui Niu had appeared earlier.
She guessed that this mutation was very likely related to Kui Niu being captured.
After Lu Xueqi descended into the deep sea, countless marine creatures densely packed together surged toward her, attempting to engulf her whole.
At the same time, clusters of bizarre black-and-crimson light continuously blasted toward her, as if trying to infect Lu Xueqi as well.
But with Lu Xueqi’s terrifying strength at present, before those black aura and crimson light could even approach her body, they were directly blasted apart and purified by the power she released.
Even so, Lu Xueqi’s expression grew somewhat grim, because after entering the ocean,
her vision and spiritual power were greatly suppressed, and the densely packed marine creatures kept blocking her path,
causing her speed to be far from fast, while her spiritual energy was being rapidly consumed along the way.
If Lu Xueqi had not been taking out pills from her storage ring from time to time to replenish her spiritual energy,
her spiritual energy would have been exhausted long ago.
This crisis at Flowing Wave Mountain was actually even greater than the one at Dead Spirit Abyss.
Back then at Dead Spirit Abyss, although those beings were powerful, their numbers were limited. How could they compare to these marine creatures now—so dense and seemingly endless—giving Lu Xueqi quite a headache?
Moreover, after a period of continuous consumption, the pills Lu Xueqi had previously refined were also gradually used up, causing her expression to turn slightly unsightly.
After briefly pondering for a moment, she immediately turned her attention to the chat group, directly opened the chat panel, and began scanning the商城.
Any pill capable of restoring spiritual energy—Lu Xueqi did not hesitate at all, buying them one by one.
However, within the chat group marketplace, there were not many pills that could truly restore spiritual energy quickly. Most were pills meant to increase cultivation, which required a long time to refine.
Lu Xueqi could not help but anxiously call out to Xiao Yan in the chat group.
Lu Xueqi: “Xiao Yan, are you there? I’ve run into some problems here and urgently need your support.”
At this moment, Xiao Yan, who was training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, was momentarily stunned when he saw Lu Xueqi’s message.
Lu Xueqi’s strength was obvious to all—she was the number one expert in the group. What kind of problem could she possibly encounter?
This inevitably made Xiao Yan feel puzzled, but he still hurriedly replied.
Xiao Yan: “Miss Lu, what exactly happened? Just say it. As long as it’s something I can do, I will definitely help.”
Lu Xueqi: “Xiao Yan, do you still have pills that restore spiritual energy? If you do, sell them to me as soon as possible. My situation here is quite critical.”
Xiao Yan: “Miss Lu, what exactly happened to make you so urgently need pills to restore spiritual energy?”
Lu Xueqi: “Xiao Yan, you may not know this. After leaving Kong Sang Mountain, I went to Flowing Wave Mountain.
After entering Flowing Wave Mountain, everything was going quite smoothly at first. But today, just as I was preparing to leave, countless marine creatures in the nearby sea were infected by a strange power, after which they swarmed onto land and launched an attack on us members of the Righteous Path.
We are currently fighting desperately to kill these marine creatures. I wanted to dive into the ocean to find the source of the mutation, but there are simply too many marine creatures, blocking my path.
Even though my strength is great, continuously killing these marine creatures has been of little effect.
Moreover, as I keep killing them, my spiritual energy consumption has been enormous, and my supply is starting to fall short.
So I wanted to buy some pills from you to restore spiritual energy.”
After reading Lu Xueqi’s message, Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned.
He had not expected such a mutation to appear over at Flowing Wave Mountain.
This was vastly different from the original trajectory of the Qingyun World that he knew.
Xiao Yan: “Miss Lu, don’t worry. I’ll send the pills to you right away.”
Lu Xueqi: “Alright, many thanks. As for the points spent on buying the pills, keep a record of them. After this matter is resolved, I’ll send them to you.”
Xiao Yan: “No rush for that. Miss Lu, you should focus on resolving the immediate problem first.”
Lu Xueqi: “Alright, thank you.”
Lu Yu: “Lu Xueqi, can you turn on the live broadcast function so we can take a look at what the marine creatures in the ocean are actually like?”
Xiong Ba: “Yes, yes. Even something that Miss Lu finds troublesome to deal with—I’d like to take a look as well…”
Huang Rong: “+1.”
Wang Yuyan: “+1.”
Seeing the messages from everyone in the chat group, Lu Xueqi thought briefly before directly agreeing.
Lu Xueqi: “Alright. I’ll turn on the live broadcast now. But the marine creatures are extremely dense. If you feel frightened, you don’t have to watch.”
Lu Yu: “Miss Lu, don’t worry. We understand.”
Lu Xueqi: “Alright. Since that’s the case, I’ll activate the live broadcast function now.”
In the end, Lu Xueqi did not hesitate any further. With a shift of her thoughts, the live broadcast function instantly activated.
At this moment, in the view of Lu Yu and the others, they saw Lu Xueqi alone advancing through a deep, blood-red ocean.
Countless strands of lightning power flickered around her, and with each flash, innumerable marine creatures were slain.
At the same time, several zhang away from Lu Xueqi, densely packed marine creatures nearly filled the entire ocean, completely blocking her path.
Seeing such a scene, many group members were shocked.
Lu Yu: “So many marine creatures… that’s terrifying.”
Huang Rong: “Yes. How could there be so many marine creatures? Just looking at them makes one’s scalp go numb. And every single one of them has blood-red eyes—it looks extremely bloodthirsty.”
Xiao Yan: “Indeed. These marine creatures are far more terrifying than land creatures. Their numbers are simply too great. No wonder Miss Lu is having such difficulty dealing with them.”
Wang Yuyan: “With this number of marine creatures, if we were to encounter them, we’d probably die on the spot.”
Lu Yu: “Miss Lu, you must be careful. If things don’t go well, for the sake of your own life, you should immediately find a way to leave.”
While continuously slaughtering the marine creatures, Lu Xueqi also spared part of her attention for the chat group.
Lu Xueqi: “Rest assured. If things go poorly, I will leave. And you should also know that I possess spacetime power, so preserving my life is not difficult.”
Xiao Yan: “Hearing Miss Lu say that puts us at ease.”
Huang Rong: “That’s right. Sister Lu’s spacetime power is indeed awesome.”
At this moment, Lu Xueqi was deep within the ocean, unable to distinguish east, west, south, or north, and surrounded by countless densely packed marine creatures.
Therefore, using spacetime power right now would not be of much use, nor would it help her quickly locate the source of the mutation.
However, if she were to use spacetime power to escape in a moment of crisis, it would not be a problem at all…
