Chapter 1711 Upside Down Lake
But he had to speak in a heroic tone: "I wanted to check the Upside-Down Lake. Didn't the Illusion Sect plan to ambush us here? Give them a chance!"
His calmness and composure inspired those around him. But Bai Ziqi knew that this time the difficulty of digging the hole was much greater than in the past, and if his team was not careful, there was a high possibility of failure.
Miaozhan God has clearly communicated that the large-scale magic "Time Trick" to protect the fleet cannot be used again in a short period of time. In other people's illusions, it is obviously difficult for the gods to exert their divine power.
If the Upside-Down Sea once again raises a tsunami, or some large-scale magical power that is difficult for human power to control, Bai Ziqi's fleet may suffer heavy losses.
Before this situation occurs, he has to lead his men to land on Silver Pearl Island as soon as possible, lest the other side recover and use another big move.
The Huan Sect has its own reasons, and Bai Ziqi has his own urgency that he cannot express.
The upside-down lake, with the reefs opened, has become a large irregular polygonal bay, and the fleet naturally wants to dock nearby. The lakeside is full of rocky beaches, the pebbles are white, and the lakebed is gently sloping, suitable for anchoring.
The characteristic of this place is silence. As soon as the fleet enters, it is as if entering a dragon's pond. There is no noise around, even the wind has stopped, and there is only the gurgling sound of paddling water.
Despite the spell, the ship continued to move slower and slower, as if it was dragging a heavy weight underneath.
Standing on the side of the boat and looking down, the water surface is sparkling and nothing unusual can be seen. However, if the perspective is switched to below the water surface and a light is turned on, the scene in front of you will definitely make everyone shudder:
The bottom of every big ship and below the water line are wriggling!
Look carefully, those are not water plants, but densely packed monsters.
Some are human-like, some are not, some have three eyes, some have two gills, some have human-like bodies but pointy ears and bald heads, some have dark blue skin covered with fish scales...
In short, the shapes are very abstract, but ugly without exception.
Anyone who encounters them in the deep water will feel like they are in a nightmare.
These things were shuttling back and forth at the bottom of the lake, their number increasing, and they were clinging to the bottoms of the ships more and more densely. For example, there were even two thick layers of them clinging to the bottom of Bai Ziqi's main ship.
They even fight with each other to grab a little space.
The ship originally had multiple protective formations that could not prevent them from being so rampant. Unfortunately, after just taking on several rounds of great magical powers from the Illusion Sect, the formations were basically destroyed and there was no time to replenish them. These monsters did not launch any attacks, so the people on the ship were unaware of it.
But they were all lying on the bottom of the boat, making the boat very heavy.
General Luodian ordered his men: "Find someone to go down to the bottom of the boat and see what is slowing down the boat."
The people of Luodian were mainly land soldiers, and few of them could swim. The unlucky ones who were chosen had no way to refuse and had to go into the water reluctantly.
And then never come back.
While everyone was waiting, there was movement at the sterns of the last two large ships:
The monster was quietly climbing up the boat. A sentry was in a hurry to relieve himself and went to the stern to release the water. He untied his belt and looked down. Suddenly he met a pair of big copper bell eyes!
"Ah..." He was startled and just as he was about to draw his sword, the person was dragged away.
But this sound did alarm their companions. Just as they drew their weapons, they saw monsters burst out from the stern one after another. They were grotesque, hideous and ferocious, and rushed up like a tide.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Warning bells rang on ship after ship as the sea monsters attacked almost at the same time.
All fourteen large ships were visited by the water monster without exception.
The warriors brought by the Heavenly Palace were all well-trained and brave, and they could chop off a monster's head with a single blow of their swords. The individual combat power of these monsters was indeed not as good as theirs, but their number was outrageous!
They climbed up from the water along the hull, like an army of ants rushing towards their prey, densely packed and endless!
Each large ship has hundreds of soldiers, but can squeeze in thousands of water monsters!
Every warrior can chop off one head, five heads, or even thirty heads, but can he chop off a hundred heads?
It is said that a swarm of ants can kill an elephant, and this is the most vivid portrayal.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the battle began, dozens of soldiers were exposed when they were besieged, and were accidentally pulled down, and then -
Then it was scattered to pieces, and even the screams lasted less than seven or eight breaths.
The worst thing was that he did not die immediately, but had to watch his belly being cut open, his intestines, liver, and stomach being pulled out, and he became the living meat that the monsters fought over!
"Gather on the deck, don't be alone!" The generals shouted one after another, "Form a formation to deal with them!"
Five magicians on a large ship jointly cast a spell and released more than ten fire crows. They were covered in flames and flew around the ship once, and countless water monsters were ignited by the real fire and fell into the water screaming.
Every time they fly a circle, they can clear out a large wave of monsters.
But the problem is that the water monsters are not afraid of death and keep coming one after another, making it impossible to kill them all.
Could it be that the bottom of this upside-down lake is directly connected to hell, so that it can continuously transport monsters to the ship?
Bai Ziqi's ship was the focus of attention of the water monster. Other ships had more than 1,000 heads, but his ship had at least 2,000. However, his ship had the strongest guard force, so as long as everyone gathered their defenses, the monster could not break through for a while.
"Yaksha!" Bai Ziqi frowned after seeing these monsters clearly.
Isn't this the man-eating monster Yaksha that the fishermen mentioned? Every time the storm wall disappears, they may rush out of the Upside-Down Lake to do evil. But this time they are not looking for trouble with mortals, but for the Heavenly Palace team.
Bai Ziqi looked back at the fleet. Every ship was filled with densely packed water monsters, with the largest number on his main ship. There was not even a gap outside the defense circle for them to slip in.
According to rough estimates, there are at least 20,000 monsters emerging from the water.
Even the Heavenly Palace team had no choice but to lose men in the face of them. If this number of water monsters were released onto Silver Pearl Island, they would probably eat all the living people to extinction!
There are only about 100,000 civilians on Silver Pearl Island.
Bai Ziqi heard from fishermen that the most terrifying sea monster attack in history was when only more than 2,000 of them left the lake together, causing the deaths of more than 30,000 people on Yinzhu Island!
How come the number of water monsters leaving the lake increased more than ten times as soon as the Tiangong team arrived?
Bai Ziqi became interested and waved to his Baiwei: "Drag the body over here! Yes, drag it over here."
Bai Wei just killed a seven-foot-tall water monster. This thing looked like a human, with upright legs, green skin, bulging eyes, a big mouth that could reach behind the ears, and rows of yellow teeth that turned outward.
Bai Ziqi put on gloves and cut it open with his knife. But the monster didn't bleed, but white foam came out.
He grabbed the muscles on both sides of the incision and pried them apart with force.
This time the feel is not right. It does not have the firmness and toughness of flesh and blood. Instead, it feels like rotten meat that has been left for more than ten days. It is soft and slippery, with a hole in it when poked.
After the monster's chest was opened, everyone was stunned:
Foam also came out of his internal organs and his abdominal cavity was full of water.
In just a few breaths, the digestive tract melted away right before everyone's eyes, like ice turning into water.
In less than half a cup of tea, the entire monster melted, leaving no residue at all, and the deck was covered with water stains and foam.
However, a thin, shallow gray mist that was invisible to the human eye also rose from the monster's body and drifted towards the outside of the boat.
It was unlucky as it was illuminated by the lamp spirit as soon as it appeared. Bai Ziqi pulled out a hair, gently burned it in the lamp spirit's golden fire, and threw it towards the gray fog.
With a whoosh, the hair turned into a thin rope, automatically binding the gray fog.
Gray Fog struggled desperately, but to no avail. Bai Ziqi pulled it over and took a look, then used the lamp spirit to smoke it, and the thing revealed its true face:
ghost.
It is a dead soul with a swollen body and a squeezed face.
Bai Shiqi took one look and said, "It's a water ghost!"
There is actually a drowned ghost living in the body of the Yaksha?
Bai Ziqi threw it to the lamp spirit and said, "Give me another one."
Another water monster was dragged in for autopsy and examination.
The situation was exactly the same, as soon as it died it began to melt into water, from the inside out, and in the end nothing was left.
No wonder after so many years, the people of Yinzhu Island couldn't figure out the exact structure of these monsters. The time they existed after death was so short that even Bai Ziqi didn't have time to perform an autopsy.
A dead soul also floated within this body.
Bai Ziqi understood and pointed at the Yaksha on the boat: "Go!"
The lamp spirit suddenly grew larger and patrolled the ship with its long tail.
Under the golden light, everyone discovered that a little gray mist was coming out of the bodies of the Yakshas that had just died. They flipped over the side of the boat and quickly fell into the bottom of the Upside-Down Lake.
Bai Ziqi took off his gloves and shook his head: "What Yaksha? They are all Qian Huan's puppets."
This is not a natural living thing!
So the question is, why does Qianhuan regularly release this kind of monster to Yinzhu Island?
Before he could finish his thought, he heard an unusual sound of wind from above. Then several White Guards shouted, "Sir, be careful, the water monster can fly!"
A water monster swooped down from the sail and went straight for Bai Ziqi.
The lamp spirit soared into the sky with a "whoosh" and turned into a sharp arrow, piercing through in one fell swoop.
When it fell onto the deck, everyone held up a flashlight and saw that it had membranous wings like a bat on its back. It could climb to a high place and leap up, then glide with the wind.
In an instant, more and more winged water monsters climbed onto the hull. They jumped directly into the gathered soldiers and bit them, trying to tear open the defense circle.
"The other party released these things just to consume our strength."
Previously, the Illusion Sect used their great magical powers to consume the power of the gods, and now they sent out water monsters to kill the Tiangong team, using two methods at the same time. Bai Ziqi couldn't tolerate them, so he immediately ordered, "Pass on my order, all ships raise the calming flags!"
All the ships had the ability to communicate with each other, so his orders were passed out immediately, and each ship opened a large white umbrella in crowded places.
It looks like an oil-paper umbrella, with a pearl embedded in the umbrella head and a dozen thin cloth strips underneath the umbrella.
When all fourteen white umbrellas were opened, Bai Ziqi gave another order: "Beat the soul-shaking drum."
