Mù Fēng dove into the water, disappearing in an instant!
Water glowed, and visibility was unlimited; everything within sight was clear.
This sight made Mù Fēng feel very unusual. He couldn't help but wonder: why was it so clear underwater?
Was this place too strange?
But Mù Fēng had no time to ponder; a huge commotion came from behind him. The Monster was in hot pursuit, seeming to be even faster in the water than it was on the surface.
In just a moment, the ferocious Monster was practically upon him.
Facing the relentlessly pursuing Monster, Mù Fēng ignored his body's fatigue. His will was firm, he unleashed his hidden power, and desperately dove deeper.
However, the Monster's speed was clearly superior!
Fifty meters!
Thirty meters!
Twenty meters!
Ten meters...
The distance continued to shrink; collision was imminent!
"Bang!!!"
A dull thud, and the Monster's tentacles made violent contact with Mù Fēng's back.
As Mù Fēng rapidly dived, he felt a sudden jolt on his back, and a searing pain instantly swept through his back, as if struck by a giant hammer.
The violent collision shook him, causing him to instantly spew out a mouthful of blood. The vivid red quickly spread in the water, soon dyeing a large area of the clear water red.
Already diving rapidly, he was propelled by the force of the impact like a cannonball, stirring up huge waves and continuing to plummet into the unknown depths.
The Monster, having struck successfully, greedily sucked at the blood in the water, emitting a grating squeal, and appearing exceptionally excited.
In its excitement, it violently thrashed its enormous tail, creating waves of water, and quickly lunged towards the rapidly descending Mù Fēng.
The Monster's speed was astonishing, like a flash in the water, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up to Mù Fēng.
It opened its mouth, filled with sharp fangs, and ferociously lunged at Mù Fēng.
By this time, Mù Fēng was seriously injured. A sense of weakness pervaded his body; he was powerless to swim and could only let himself fall uncontrollably.
He looked at the Monster's dark maw drawing closer and closer with despair, his heart filled with helplessness and fear.
"Father..."
"Mother..."
"Your son is unfilial; I only regret not being able to avenge you!"
Silent cries!
Desperate sorrow!
"I'm coming to join you now...!"
In this moment of desperate life and death, Mù Fēng seemed at peace. He felt that perhaps all of this was destined, that he should have left this world with his parents years ago, and that his survival for a few more years was just a twist of fate!
Perhaps, in the end, it was all just an inescapable destiny!
With this thought, he subconsciously prepared to close his eyes.
However, at the critical moment when Mù Fēng was about to become a meal for the Monster, the Monster's huge body suddenly flashed past his eyes.
Mù Fēng, falling, struggled to look up and saw a dark-bodied, large Strange Fish with sharp white teeth in its mouth, suddenly attack the Monster from the side.
This sudden turn of events left Mù Fēng dumbfounded, and a wave of inexplicable shock washed over him.
"What is this now?"
The Strange Fish's ferocious attack was like overturning seas and rivers, instantly churning the entire underwater world, causing waves to surge and tremble.
In the aftermath of the Strange Fish's fierce strike, Mù Fēng lost control again and plummeted downwards.
He watched as the Monster was sent flying. Before it could stabilize itself, another large Strange Fish of similar size rammed into it forcefully.
With a loud crack, the Monster's massive body was instantly snapped into two halves!
Dark blood quickly spread, dyeing that area of water black.
Immediately after, the two Strange Fish swarmed forward, opened their mouths, and devoured the previously ferocious Monster, turning it into their meal in the blink of an eye.
This time, the Monster not only lost its prey but also suffered greatly, a complete disaster!
If the Monster had a spirit in the underworld, its hatred for Mù Fēng would likely be like the endless flow of the Yellow River!
Mù Fēng witnessed this heart-pounding scene with his own eyes, and his heart was instantly stirred, like ten thousand galloping steeds on a grassland.
However, before he could recover from his shock, the two Strange Fish had already rapidly attacked him.
"It's over!"
"This is really over now!"
This was truly a case of escaping one tiger only to fall into the jaws of wolves!
Each monster was stronger than the last!
Life is truly unpredictable!
Just then, unusual sounds were heard nearby. This anomaly made Mù Fēng's heart suddenly tighten.
Mù Fēng looked into the distance, and in the blurred vision, he saw clusters of mysterious lights flashing and rapidly approaching.
In just a few seconds, the lights were upon him. Mù Fēng saw the truth in the blink of an eye, and a chill instantly ran down his spine.
Those mysterious lights were none other than the large eyes of the Strange Fish!
"Holy crap!"
"Damn it!"
The dense mass of giant eyes were all glowing, like voracious wolves, their eyes fixed on Mù Fēng, as if they were impatient to enjoy Mù Fēng, this incredibly rare and delicious feast!
At this moment, Mù Fēng's heart was truly in anguish!
One truly had to lament fate!
Why are you so cruel!
What could have been resolved in one bite was now going to be shared by many.
As he fell, Mù Fēng inadvertently glimpsed the drifting blood in the distance, and he suddenly froze:
"Could it be my blood that attracted the Strange Fish in the water?"
He couldn't help but wonder why his blood had such a great allure.
"It's over... this is truly over now!"
Mù Fēng thought that even if his cultivation were intact, he couldn't escape from these Strange Fish.
He looked at the schools of Strange Fish converging before him, and despairingly closed his eyes, quietly awaiting the impending misfortune.
However, those who are meant to thrive are protected by heaven!
Perhaps Mù Fēng's fate was not sealed. Just as the Strange Fish were about to devour him, he, as he plummeted, happened to hit a mysterious, invisible barrier and was instantly drawn into it.
Immediately after, a blinding flash of light flashed across the mysterious barrier, as if activated, and quickly transformed into a transparent protective shield.
The Strange Fish's bite missed, and it crashed into the transparent shield with a loud noise. However, strangely, it was not sucked into the barrier like Mù Fēng.
What followed was an incredibly bizarre and terrifying scene.
The Strange Fish, the moment it touched the invisible barrier, directly turned into dust, rapidly dissolving in the water.
Unfortunately, Mù Fēng did not witness this. He continued to fall inside the barrier with his eyes tightly shut.
Then, with a dull thud, he firmly landed on the ground inside the barrier.
Outside the barrier, the Strange Fish, which had been ready to swarm and devour Mù Fēng, all stopped in terror the moment they saw that large Strange Fish turn to dust and disappear.
Fear and unwillingness flickered in their eyes. They lingered reluctantly around the barrier, no longer daring to approach.
After a while, Mù Fēng did not feel the expected sharp pain and bloodbath. Instead, the surroundings instantly became much quieter.
Sensing his surroundings carefully, he realized he was no longer in the water.
"What's going on?"
"What is happening now?"
Mù Fēng's heart was filled with confusion and curiosity. He hesitantly slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, what met his eyes was an incredibly magnificent and breathtaking sight!
"This...!!!"
A huge, transparent canopy barrier stretched overhead. Outside the barrier was a group of enormous Strange Fish.
They were densely packed in the water outside the barrier, forming a huge circle, constantly circling the space where Mù Fēng was.
Pairs of hungry, gleaming eyes stared intently at Mù Fēng below the barrier, revealing strong unwillingness.
However, what was astonishing was that despite the craving in the Strange Fish's eyes, not a single one dared to cross the transparent canopy barrier to chew on him.
Mù Fēng felt like a visiting tourist, observing the penned-in school of Strange Fish through the immense transparent canopy before him.
This scene was both magical and bizarre, leaving Mù Fēng utterly astonished and at a loss for what to do.
He stood stunned for a moment. After confirming several times that the Strange Fish dared not approach, he finally let out a long sigh, and his tense body finally relaxed.
He struggled to support himself and slowly sat up.
Fortunately, he was no longer an ordinary person; otherwise, prolonged underwater activity would have suffocated him.
Even more fortunate was that he had narrowly escaped death in the Monster's mouth; this was undoubtedly a blessing from heaven.
After his body relaxed, the intense pain from his back made Mù Fēng involuntarily spit out blood again.
This scene agitated the Strange Fish above. Their eyes showed intense unwillingness, as if Mù Fēng's blood were some precious celestial treasure.
Mù Fēng was exhausted, both physically and mentally, after all the turmoil.
He rested quietly for a while, soothing the pain in his back, and only then did he regain some strength.
Then, he slowly stood up and began to examine his surroundings carefully.
However, at a glance, his expression instantly became blank, and an indescribable shock surged through his heart...
