Chapter 2200: Bottom of Mirror Lake
Feng Wu said, “Then there’s only one direction left.”
Little Phoenix looked in that direction and cried out, “Don’t!”
Feng Wu said, “What?”
The bird said, “There’s a magical beast too powerful for you to handle in that direction!”
Feng Wu asked, “Then what should I do now?”
The bird fell silent.
Since all four directions were out of the question, her only option now was…
“I need to find a place to hide and stall them for as long as I can. You go tell Jun Linyuan.” Feng Wu made the decision.
“Alright!”
Although the bird was worried about Feng Wu, it knew that this was the best option. The next second, it flew away like a bolt of lightning.
Three minutes. That was all she needed.
Feng Wu encouraged herself. Three minutes, and Jun Linyuan would be here.
She only needed to stall for a little while.
She looked around.
She was in the heart of the woods, and a lake glistened in the moonlight.
The water was very calm, but she didn’t know what it was like underneath.
She dipped her fingers into the lake.
It was very cold.
But she didn’t have time to think. It wasn’t easy to pa.s.s three minutes.
Just then, she heard rustling.
The four Spiritual Lords were coming!
Feng Wu swiftly dove into the lake.
She quickly sank to the bottom and sat there with her legs crossed. She then closed her eyes and held her breath.
She even slowed down her heartbeat.
She sealed off all her senses.
Only then could she minimize the chance of being discovered.
Whoos.h.!.+
Four men rushed to the lake.
“Her aura disappeared here.” The Spiritual Lord with the crossbow looked perplexed.
There were three Level 6 Spiritual Lords and one Level 5.
“Are you sure?” Round Face asked with a frown.
“Yes!” The bowman was very certain. “My arrows have poisonous powder on them. Although I missed her, the powder still got on her clothes.”
As he spoke, he crouched down and pinched some soil between his fingers. “Look. Here’s the powder. I’m sure of it.”
The three Level 6 men looked at one another, before their gazes all fell on the lake.
“So, the girl jumped into Mirror Lake.” Round Face’s eyes glinted coldly.
“We’re going to fish her out.” Long Arms raised his right arm, and where his right hand should be, there was an iron hook.
It was very sharp, and the air it gave off could chill one to the bone.
If one looked closely, one could see that the iron hook was retractable.
As expected!
The man threw the hook into the lake.
No one knew how far the hook could reach. When he drew it back, there was a black object on the hook.
“What is it?” Everyone looked at it with a frown.
Thud.
Long Arms released the thing, and it landed on the ground. It then waved its red claws ferociously.
“Is that a crab?” Everyone was shocked.
How could a crab be so big? It was several meters long, and its claws were as sharp as razors!
Crack!
