"Gurgle gurgle!"
"Gurgle!"
The two remaining Fishman subordinates were squealing in terror, their simple minds unable to comprehend what was happening!
At this point, their only reliance was their leader, so these two Fishman subordinates couldn't help but move closer to the Merman Leader, seeking his protection. Only…
"Gwaah!! Gurgle gwaah!"
The Merman Leader, jostled by his two subordinates, let out an angry cry, flung his Fish Fork to push them away, and then strode towards the Steel Wire Electric Net.
The Merman Leader was about 1.6 meters tall, and his physique was far more robust than that of the Fishman subordinates. If the Fishman subordinates were as thin as loaches, then this Merman Leader was a fat catfish.
Facing the Steel Wire Electric Net, which occasionally sparked with electricity, the Merman Leader raised his Fish Fork, aimed it, and let out an angry gurgle!
The Merman Leader was furious. He had come to this world to defeat the Guardian and seize the Geomantic Vein, but now, without even knowing where the Guardian was, he was blocked by a few glowing wires. Though there was still some fear in his heart, he had the dignity of a Merman Leader! It compelled him to step forward! To face this fear head-on!
"Gurgle! Gurgle!"
The Merman Leader provoked the Steel Wire Electric Net, but obviously, the wire net wouldn't pay him any mind. After several failed attempts at provocation, the Merman Leader felt deeply insulted. This was beyond endurance! And so!!
"Gurgle!!"
A circle of blue light bloomed around the Merman Leader! First, it enveloped him in a layer of blue scales! Then, a stream of water surged from the tip of the Fish Fork, accompanied by the Merman Leader's low roar! A water column shot out from the top of the Fish Fork! It slammed heavily into the Steel Wire Electric Net!
In an instant!
"Tzzt tzzt tzzt! Crackle crackle!"
"Gwaah! Aaaahhh!!"
Mo Shuying, who had just arrived on his bike, finally witnessed what it meant to be a spectacle of sparks and lightning. Countless currents surged along the water column onto the Merman Leader, electrifying him until his bones turned pale, and countless electric sparks flew in all directions. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the God of Thunder had appeared.
But this scene lasted only three seconds. The Steel Wire Electric Net ultimately couldn't withstand the water's impact and snapped directly. After the wire net broke, the water flow on the Fish Fork disappeared, and the meter-tall Merman Leader fell to the ground with a puff, smoking, seemingly lifeless.
So, at the intersection, only the two small Fishmen remained, trembling.
"Awesome…"
Seeing this, Mo Shuying couldn't help but give the Merman Leader a thumbs-up. He was genuinely impressed. Are monsters this brave these days?
However, Mo Shuying didn't step forward immediately, because in his perception, this Merman Leader was not dead.
He endured it. The fallen Merman Leader's body twitched, then slowly rose. The two Fishman subordinates immediately ran over to support their boss, letting out flattering gurgles.
"Gwa ha ha!"
The Merman Leader seemed to understand that he had "defeated" the formidable Steel Wire Electric Net. Although his legs were still trembling, he couldn't help but let out a roar that sounded like laughter.
Mo Shuying, hiding not far away, really wanted to applaud this Merman Leader. It was thanks to this Fishman that he could witness such an explosive performance. It was just a pity that Mo Shuying had already arrived at the place where he had hidden his Molotov Cocktails…
The three cheering Fishmen suddenly heard a whooshing sound and couldn't help but look up. They immediately saw a bottle, burning with a small flame, flying towards them.
"Gurgle?"
In the Fishmen's limited intelligence, they clearly didn't know what a Molotov Cocktail was. The Merman Leader, who had just regained his confidence, raised his Fish Fork and smashed it at the bottle, hitting it dead center!
"Bang!"
"Whoosh!!"
The moment the Molotov Cocktail shattered, all the flammable liquid was ignited by the flames! To the Fishmen's horror, it splashed all three of them!
"Wah! Gurgle wah! Wah wah wah!"
The two Fishman subordinates were utterly terrified and immediately threw themselves to the ground, rolling around. The Merman Leader, however, let out an angry roar, and the blue scales reappeared on his body, actually isolating the flames!
Mo Shuying had seen this scene on the Demonic Spider Leader before. These leader-level monsters did have some tricks up their sleeves.
But this alone wasn't enough, because Mo Shuying hadn't made just one Molotov Cocktail!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
A series of whooshing sounds came. This time, the Merman Leader had learned his lesson and no longer struck with his Fish Fork, instead twisting his body to dodge.
However, after these Molotov Cocktails landed and shattered, they immediately spread more flames across the ground, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire.
"Gurgle!!"
In this environment, even the Merman Leader couldn't stand it. Fishmen preferred humid environments, and the current situation would rapidly evaporate the water from their bodies, which would be very disadvantageous to them over time.
The Merman Leader turned his head to look at his last two subordinates, finding them lying in the sea of fire, barely moving. In an instant, sorrow welled up in the Merman Leader's heart! He let out an angry roar! And then!
Run!!
Yes, the Merman Leader ran.
He suddenly leapt out from the broken wire net and strode quickly down the street, still carrying flames on his body.
Mo Shuying was baffled by the Merman Leader's actions. He was retreating? But where could he run to?
Mo Shuying quickly followed, carrying a Molotov Cocktail in each hand.
The Merman Leader ran for more than ten minutes, already far from the intersection. By the time he reached this point, he was showing signs of weakness; the significant loss of water from his body made breathing difficult.
The Merman Leader looked back and saw no pursuers. Slightly relieved, he lifted his head, flared his nostrils, took a deep sniff, and then his eyes lit up!
Water!
"There's water nearby!"
The Merman Leader's eyes lit up, and it immediately ran in the direction of the water vapor. Not far from it was a city ditch connected to the Fuyuki River.
Using magic three times in a row had completely depleted its mana, and with the evaporation of water from its body, its stamina was also at rock bottom. But as long as there was water! It could recover quickly! Then strike again! Find the Guardian! Kill it and obtain the power of the Geomantic Vein! Then it would become an unrivaled Great Demonic Beast!
"Gurgle!"
The Merman Leader, filled with dreams, rushed out of an alley and saw the ditch. An expression of wild joy appeared on its ugly face as it sprinted towards the ditch. But it didn't notice a figure that was clearly there but invisible to it! It had already blocked its path.
The moment the Merman Leader approached, Mo Shuying unceremoniously stuck out a leg.
*"Bang!"*
"Gu?? Guwah!!"
Tripped, the Merman Leader flew through the air and crashed heavily to the ground, its Fish Fork rolling away. The water-filled ditch was less than 50 meters from it, but...
When a sinister voice appeared behind it, the Merman Leader seemed to understand... 50 meters was an incredibly long distance.
"Hehehe!! Ula!!"
