Abyss Summoner

A bizarre scene appeared on the Heaven-Reaching Python. This giant creature was acting as if crazy, swimming towards the place where the song was permeating.

As the song gradually became clearer, the Heaven-Reaching Python’s speed reached some sort of limit. It felt as if something was drawing it forward, driving it into a frenzy.

The song had changed from a gentle whisper to a loud melody. It was a beautiful tune that instilled a sense of belonging. Chen Feng, as a legend, felt it most strongly. He wasn’t enchanted by the song, merely hearing certain sounds emerging from it.

Through the translation of the Demon Horn, those words came intermittently and seemed to say, "Come...come to...my side..."

"Hmm..."

"Hmm..."

Two muffled groans came from nearby. Lu Wei and Wei Xun were already staggering like drunk men, about to collapse onto the ground.

"It seems the closer we are, the stronger the enchanting power becomes. Unexpectedly, even Wei Xun and Lu Wei have sunk into it!" Chen Feng frowned, gaining some insight.

However, at this moment, Chen Feng did not choose to awaken the two. As the distance to the voice grew ever nearer, it wouldn’t be long before he could find the origin of everything. Awakening them with legendary power now could startle the mysterious beings and make them hesitant to show themselves.

Luckily, Lu Wei and Wei Xun weren’t doing anything drastic, merely swaying on the Heaven-Reaching Python, with longing in their eyes as if there was something ahead attracting them!

Just as Chen Feng focused intently on the front, suddenly, a slender figure appeared.

It was a beautiful woman with golden hair, delicately defined features, and an alluring aura. She resembled a princess meant to be the center of attention at a ball, yet now, in this form, she appeared in the sea.

"Mermaid?" Chen Feng muttered to himself.

Legend has it that mermaids are a curse on seafarers. Their upper bodies are breathtakingly beautiful, but their lower halves are cold, scaly tails (sometimes a single tail, sometimes split into two) combined with enchanting songs that lure countless sailors to their doom.

There are many tales about mermaids; their bodies are seductive yet capables of quick escape. They lack souls, as indifferent as sea water; their voices are often as deceptive as their appearances, embodying temptation, vanity, beauty, cruelty, and hopeless love all at once.

Indeed.

Contrary to the charming symbol of fairy tale mermaids, this creature actually has a demon-like evil intent, using songs to lure ships into wrecking or capsizing, killing countless sailors, which to them is just an eerie amusement.

Chen Feng was not unfamiliar with mermaids because the sister of the current High Priest Li Siyu was a mermaid princess. Due to a special awakening ability, she turns into a mermaid upon touching water.

Chen Feng would not overlook any talent. The sisters Li Siyu and Li Siqi are considered brilliant gems in the Order. Even though the elder sister is a High Priest, Li Siqi remains unshrouded by her glory; rather, her closeness to the ocean makes sailors worship her as a faith during distant voyages.

"But..." Chen Feng mused, compared to Li Siqi’s human scent, this beauty soaked in the sea made Chen Feng detect a hint of bloodshed.

All this made Chen Feng feel something unusual.

At this moment, the graceful maiden stopped singing. Like a simple girl, she looked curiously at Chen Feng, for his calmness seemed out of place compared to the obsession of Heaven-Reaching Python and Lu Wei.

The maiden felt curious about Chen Feng, and similarly, Chen Feng was astounded by the maiden in front of him. Judging from her power, she was merely at Silver Peak; though her power was indeed weak, why was she able to enchant both Heaven-Reaching Python and Lu Wei?

Low-level power enchanting high-level power? That should be impossible!

Perhaps because Chen Feng was not ensnared, the mermaid, after pondering for a while, began to sing again, lifting her neck.

"There must be something strange!" Chen Feng stared ahead. As the maiden continued singing, Lu Wei and the others’ conditions worsened, their bodies swaying ever so slightly. Furthermore, underfoot was Heaven-Reaching Python, which also began to sway. Initially, the swaying was small, but as the song continued, the swaying speed increased considerably.

Yet, despite this, the maiden’s gaze remained fixed on the front, as if Heaven-Reaching Python underfoot was not her target. It seemed everything was tailored for Chen Feng!

The power of enchantment gradually increased!

Chen Feng was astonished to discover the maiden’s level and her enchanting ability were disproportionately matched. Her level was merely Silver Peak, yet her enchanting power could easily enthrall people at the Golden Tier. As the song continued to ring, Chen Feng faintly saw an illusory scene.

Before his eyes, a palace appeared at some unknown point, filled with radiant figures—petite, stately, wealthy, and cute. In what could be described as a small ballroom, hundreds of beauties gathered, yet they did not focus on the gathering; instead, all eyes were fixed on him.

The beauties’ eyes brimmed with affection, giving one the feeling that Chen Feng merely had to nod to command their every whim.

This undeniably produced an intense conquest thrill!

Illusion!

Chen Feng’s eyes flashed, and everything before him shattered like a mirror upon the ground!

"What an astonishing charm, even I was drawn in! What I saw was a realm of tenderness, and even the most valiant men would succumb, unable to escape." Chen Feng muttered.

The song indeed had enchanting effects, creating endless illusions through spiritual power.

Even he almost fell into the illusion technique; Chen Feng’s eyes turned scarlet; without doubt, he felt murderous intent, for a Silver Tier mermaid’s song to induce hallucinations in a legend was a threat.

"Die!"

Chen Feng had always been decisive; while assessing the target’s strength one moment, he launched an attack the next, firing a fireball from his palm, aiming it at the maiden.

"Bang!"

Without thinking, the moment the fireball hit, the maiden’s body shattered into pieces, with bones and blood flowing into the sea.

Easily.

Chen Feng was momentarily dazed; he had thought the opponent was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, yet an instant kill, how could this be dealing with a provoked feline? This clearly conflicted with the image of a disguised adversary.

"Buzz..."

Chen Feng’s body suddenly halted; no mistake, this was the former song, yet the mermaid was undeniably dead, so how could the song still be heard?

Surveying around, observing the still unsober Heaven-Reaching Python, Chen Feng finally became serious; the sound had not ceased, meaning the charm was still in effect.

"Bloop!"

A bubble rose from the sea, and Chen Feng instinctively stared, his pupils suddenly constricting.

In the sea, a maiden emerged, unlike the previous golden-haired maiden, this one was adorned with short blue hair, her face charming, her gaze curiously fixed on Chen Feng.

Chen Feng discovered a critical clue, even if the two’s appearances changed, their expressions remained constant, equally curious, equally gazing.

Earlier he hadn’t noticed, but now, a thought suddenly bloomed in his mind; these mermaids seemed devoid of self-awareness, more puppet-like than living beings, manipulated by some mystical entity.

Mysterious?

Chen Feng diverted his eyes from the mermaid, looking into the deep sea, where beneath the dark surface appeared as if it harbored colossal eyes, meeting Chen Feng’s gaze simultaneously.
