Chapter 686: Terrifying Mermaid
But when Lu Yi turned around in horror, he saw that the lovely mermaid who had just been so innocent and pretty had turned into a monstrous creature with sharp teeth and a menacing face. The sight made Lu Yi dash away in fear.
However, the mermaid swam too fast and quickly caught up with Lu Yi, charging at him with her teeth bared.
At that moment, a surge of current struck the mermaid directly, knocking her back. It was Lin Xi who had cast the spell. However, submerged in seawater, her supernatural power was greatly diminished. The current was not strong enough to push the mermaid far away, nor did it cause any injury to her. However, this action confused the mermaid momentarily, as she had not expected them to have such abilities.
Seizing the moment while the mermaid was still stunned, Lu Yi scurried back to the group. His heart pounded madly, the entire incident having been too frightening and thrilling.
The mermaid finally regained her senses. She fixed her eyes on Gu Fan, waiting, never losing her resolve. She went back to snarling and lunging at them.
Being aware that they couldn’t outdo these creatures underwater, Lin Xi quickly cast a protective barrier to shield the group.
The mermaid roared as she charged forward, smashing right into the protective barrier, which left her dizzy. Only then did she realize that something was separating her from her prey.
Clearly, these mermaids wouldn’t give up on their prey so easily. The mermaid tapped on the protective barrier and found it surprisingly sturdy, which infuriated her. Even underwater, she could let out peculiar, piercing noises.
Gu Fan initially thought that the mermaid was screaming out of anger because she couldn’t break the protective barrier. But later, he realized that wasn’t the case.
