My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome
Chapter 412 - Chapter 412 Chapter 411 Water Spirit Aggregation Monster

Chapter 412: Chapter 411 Water Spirit Aggregation Monster Chapter 412: Chapter 411 Water Spirit Aggregation Monster Shao Zifeng was thrown into panic but he forced himself to calm down.

As he kept sinking, he suddenly drew his short sword and thrust it into a horizontal stone pillar beside him, grasping the hilt tightly with both hands.

Crack!

Strong pulling forces kept coming, and in Shao Zifeng’s view, cracks appeared in the rock where the short sword was inserted, and the interior of the pillar made a breaking sound, with the blade bending into an arched bridge shape.

Seeing this, Shao Zifeng made up his mind, clutched the stone pillar with one hand, and quickly climbed up, while the other hand holding the sword hilt suddenly exerted force, cutting almost a half circle around the stone pillar with the sharp blade.

Crack!

Under the suction force, the already cracking pillar broke into two pieces along the cut marks, and the heavy pillar shot towards the gaping maw like a rocket under the suction.

The unknown creature had no time to react; the pillar instantly plunged into its abyssal mouth, and the suction force disappeared at once.

The fish-shaped monster rolled incessantly; its mouth violently writhed.

The pillar went in and out under the suction and physical compression.

It was truly an eye-sore.

Though the process was a bit dirty, it undoubtedly gave Shao Zifeng the chance to escape.

“Hmmph–”

Just as he was preparing to make a swift escape, a muffled cry suddenly erupted.

The stone pillar in the mutant creature’s mouth turned blurry for a moment, then instantly disintegrated into powder. Starting from its giant mouth, ripple after ripple visible to the naked eye spread out rapidly.

Shao Zifeng’s movements suddenly froze; the intense vibrations causing a tingling numbness made him lose control over his body. Nearby, the crystal fish even turned belly-up and floated upwards.

“Damned trash!”

Two whips sparkling with starlight cut through the pitch-black waters, wrapping around Shao Zifeng’s body,

Lingling caught Shao Zifeng in one arm and glared angrily at the fish-shaped monster below.

Shao Zifeng let out a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at Lingling’s profile and felt a bit awkward.

Being held like this by it, about one-meter-fifty in height, felt somewhat weird.

Lingling, from its higher position, looked down at the mutant creature hidden in the darkness, its long hair, sprinkled with starlight, fluttering wantonly.

Its eyes shone brighter and brighter with starlight as it pointed its ornate scepter into the void.

“Die!”

Under the lake, the ripples vibrated and several wood thorns as thick as arms appeared suspended beside Lingling. Then they spun and shot towards the darkness.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

“Hmmph–”

The dozens of wood thorns, trailing long bubbles, pierced the darkness.

As the muffled cry sounded again, waves of ripples rapidly spread outwards, turning the dozens of wood thorns, trailing long bubbles, into delicate patterns.

Then, those thorns blurred within the spreading ripples, turning into a spray of sawdust that dispersed with the current.

“Impossible!”

Lingling’s eyes widened in disbelief, its small hand gripping the scepter tightly.

Below, in the dark lake bed, a huge fish-shaped creature slowly emerged.

Its overall body was flat like a catfish, but while it definitely had the body of a fish, all four of its ventral fins had sharp claws, and the flat head had two small eyes, flickering with a cold gleam.

Below its huge mouth were countless long barbels, and its body seemed to be flowing like water.

Auxiliary light points swirled, and a pale blue screen slowly unfolded.

[Evolution Path]: None

[Description]: Powered by a water source core, this non-living mutant creature was created by an unknown being. It usually lurks at the bottom of the lake absorbing energy, rarely wasting energy on meaningless activities. The creature is extremely cautious and highly sensitive to elemental fluctuations. The being that created it probably intended to use it to guard a certain area, as it will constantly observe intruders and wait for an opportunity to strike. Once created, it can only have one master, and cannot be contracted.

Damn it.

Shao Zifeng cursed under his breath as he read the information displayed on the screen.

The teleportation array, the throne on Lake Heart Island, and this mutant creature that’s been manufactured.

Ever since arriving in Antarctica, the experiences had constantly been refreshing his understanding, as if this was another world entirely.

He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Watching the creature stirring restlessly below, Shao Zifeng communicated with Lingling in his heart.

“Let’s leave this place first, we can’t beat it in the water.”

“Okay.”

Although Lingling was reluctant, she obediently carried Shao Zifeng and swam upwards.

“Grrr—-”

The Water Spirit Aggregation Monster, upon seeing this, lashed its tail and swiftly pursued them.

Opening its huge mouth, ripples spread through the water, turning many rocks within the ripples into dust. This thing was like a mobile noise source, constantly emitting low-pitched noises as it moved.

Lingling, ascending, grunted softly and frowned delicately.

Shao Zifeng, recalling the description on the screen, hurriedly communicated with her.

“Swim towards Lake Heart Island, it probably won’t dare to destroy that.”

Lingling looked back at the Water Spirit Aggregation Monster below and, carrying Shao Zifeng, swam toward Lake Heart Island, which stood like a towering pillar in the water.

Indeed, as they gradually approached the pillar-like island, the frequency at which the Water Spirit Aggregation Monster used resonance sharply decreased.

Especially when they swam close to the pillar, it didn’t launch any attacks at all.

Whoosh—-

The water vapor of Under Ice Lake tumbled and Shao Zifeng was thrown upwards.

Seeing this, the deer-like creature quickly approached, casting Aromatic Healing to alleviate their discomfort.

Lingling floated next to Shao Zifeng, exchanging words with the deer-like creature.

“Yo?”

The deer-like creature was unusually irritated, its tone questioning.

“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have been playful,” Lingling said with a shame-filled head duck.

“Cough cough…”

Seeing that the deer-like creature had more to say, Shao Zifeng, having expelled the lake water from his lungs and speaking tiredly, said, “Deer-like creature, let’s think about how to deal with that thing first. With it around, we can’t get those stones.”

“Yo~”

The deer-like creature, putting the blame on Lingling aside for the moment, came over and called softly.

Hearing the complaints of the deer-like creature, Shao Zifeng said with a wry smile, “I was misled earlier too, thinking that there was no danger below. Who would’ve thought that thing would hide so deeply, almost got the best of us.”

“Let’s not talk about that now. That creature is probably hiding somewhere, secretly observing us. Be careful not to give it a chance to catch us off guard.”

Shao Zifeng’s gaze was fixed intently on the water vapor above Under Ice Lake.

The water vapor churned and shifted, yet there was no sense of the creature’s presence.

Only then did Shao Zifeng remember that he had never felt any emotional fluctuations from the start, only a premonition of danger.

Could it be because this creature was not alive, hence it had no emotions at all?

Like a robot that just faithfully followed its programming?
