Xiao Fan is Here

The sealed Water Prison continued to shrink, squeezing the bodies of each trapped player. The thin air was gradually sucked away, and suffocating despair gripped everyone's throats.

One by one, the top players' eyes bulged out, their pupils filled with ferocious red blood vessels. Their hands gripped their necks tightly, and they made soft, painful gurgling sounds from their throats, but they couldn't utter a single complete sound.

The severe lack of oxygen caused a buzzing and tingling in the eardrums. All the sounds around were fading and dissipating, and the world seemed to be filled with only deathly silence. Everyone clearly felt that the sound of their own life would be completely annihilated in the next second.

Just as the entire space was about to fall into complete silence, a clear human voice suddenly came from afar, standing out starkly in this desolate and oppressive atmosphere.

The players, on the verge of despair, shuddered and, almost instinctively, mustered their last bit of strength to turn their heads and look.

When they saw Xiao Fan walking slowly towards them, along with Zhou He, Jian Qingfeng, and their group behind him, all the trapped Blue Star players felt as if they had grasped at the last straw when they were drowning.

Their stiff fingertips stretched futilely in that direction, their eyes churning with extreme longing and despair. Their throats throbbed violently, trying to scream for help, but the suffocating shackles locked their vocal cords tightly, and no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't utter a single sound.

At this moment, all distracting thoughts had been cleared from their minds. There was no pride, no resentment, no conspiracy. Only one pure thought remained from beginning to end—to survive.

Please, please save me. I just want to live.

On Xiao Fan's side, looking at the miserable state of the players in the Water Prison, Zhou He and his group's expressions instantly changed, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

Those trapped here are all at the pinnacle of combat power on the Blue Star Server, among the strongest players in the entire Blue Star community, usually enjoying immense prestige. But now, these powerful individuals, capable of shaking the course of a battle, are like powerless ants, toyed with and crushed at will by the Fairy Fish, trapped in a tiny Water Prison, suffering endless torment, their lives entirely out of their own hands.

The scene before me was more than just shock; it was also imbued with a sense of sorrow and lament for our shared origins and kinship.

As fellow humans from Blue Star, witnessing their race's top combatants being so wantonly slaughtered and humiliated by Magic Beast filled everyone with a sense of powerless sorrow.

Even Xiao Fan felt a slight chill in his heart. He hadn't expected the Fairy Fish's methods to be so ruthless and cruel, far exceeding his imagination.

The enclosed, shrinking Water Prison is like a constantly tightening cage. As the Water Prison shrinks, the water pressure increases exponentially, eventually crushing and tearing everyone inside apart, causing them to explode and die in a gruesome manner.

On the way, Xiao Fan had instructed everyone in advance to tell them the true appearance of the Fairy Fish, her old grudge with the Seven-Colored Deer, and her fatal temper of being most afraid and disgusted by others showing fear or apprehension about her appearance.

Knowing these taboos beforehand, Zhou He, Jian Qingfeng, and their group, despite witnessing the terrifying appearance of the Fairy Fish, managed to maintain their composure and remain calm and collected, even though they were terrified inside.

Xiao Fan took in everyone's expressions and sighed inwardly.

"As expected of a core member trained by the official team, their mental fortitude and emotional control far surpass those of ordinary players."

Zhou He couldn't bear to watch the agonizing struggles of the people in the Water Prison any longer. The scenes of near-death were suffocating. He quickly suppressed his sorrow and heaviness, walked briskly to Xiao Fan's side, and asked urgently in a low voice.

"Jiu Chen, do you have a way to save them?"

The situation is now quite clear: the group of Hei Mi inside the Water Prison must have deliberately provoked and angered the Fairy Fish, which is why they ended up in this desperate situation.

At this moment, the Fairy Fish stood gracefully on the lake surface, without a single scratch on her body, while the top players of Blue Star were trapped in a cage, at the mercy of others.

The vast disparity in combat strength between the two sides is already plain for all to see, requiring no further explanation.

Zhou He weighed the pros and cons in his mind, his thoughts racing.

He knew that if these top players were allowed to be killed by the Fairy Fish, it would cause immeasurable losses to the entire Blue Star.

However, if it were to risk the lives of Xiao Fan, Jian Qingfeng, and everyone else on their side in order to rescue these people, then it would be a losing proposition.

Besides, he had repeatedly tried to dissuade everyone before this, but it was the greed of Hei Mi and his group that led them to insist on entering the Forbidden Land and provoking a powerful enemy. Now they had this fate, which was their own fault.

His question to Xiao Fan at this moment was not a rash act, but rather stemmed from a glimmer of hope remaining in his heart.

Because Xiao Fan was accompanied by a top-tier Magic Beast mount with a level of 300.

With Bao Bao around, they might still have a chance.

What Xiao Fan and his companions didn't know was that the Fairy Fish, Stealth by the lake, had already sensed their presence the moment they stepped into the Fairy Fish's territory.

But she didn't issue any warning.

The Fairy Fish had long been overrun by waves of greedy players who had exhausted all their patience and limits.

The so-called warnings and attempts to dissuade people have long since become meaningless.

Today, anyone who sets foot even half a step into her territory, regardless of who they are, will be killed without mercy.

With her mind made up, the Fairy Fish hesitated no longer, suddenly raising her delicate hand and waving it through the air!

Another drop of water flew towards Xiao Fan and the others.

"Jiu Chen Excellency Jiuchen! Chief Zhou! Be careful!"

On the Blue Stone platform, the two Dragon Nation players who had been captured by the Fairy Fish witnessed this scene and immediately shouted a warning in hoarse voices.

They had witnessed the entire process of the Fairy Fish crushing the United Rescue Team, and they knew better than anyone the terrifying power of the Fairy Fish's Water Prison skill.

They had already been repeatedly tortured by the Fairy Fish, leaving them exhausted and weak, without even the strength to raise their hands to struggle. They could only slump on the cold Blue Stone, watching helplessly as Hei Mi and the others were captured, unable to do anything about it.

But when they realized that the people who came were Xiao Fan and Zhou He, their previously numb and desperate hearts were instantly filled with intense anxiety and unease.

They absolutely could not stand by and watch Zhou He Jiu Chen perish at the hands of the Fairy Fish while trying to rescue them.

This whole thing was their fault. In the end, all these disasters stemmed from their greed, which blinded them to the deceit and falsehoods of the Seven-Colored Deer.

Upon closer reflection, how could a level 300 top-tier Magic Beast, so proud and powerful, willingly sign a contract with a weak human whose strength is far inferior to its own and submit to its commands?

It was their greed and delusions that led them step by step into the abyss.

Hearing the two players' hoarse reminders, Zhou He's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, a hint of joy and relief flashing in his eyes. He whispered, "Great, our people are still alive."

On the lake, the Fairy Fish ignored the warnings from the two Dragon Nation players beside her, not even sparing them a glance.

In her eyes, these humans whom she had captured and imprisoned were nothing more than playthings and tools for her to vent her anger and vent her frustrations.

Even if they gave us a heads-up, so what? How could mere ants possibly escape from our absolute control?

The previous killings had fully awakened her ferocity and domineering nature as a high-level Magic Beast.

Anyone who dares to trespass into her territory or offend her authority will face certain death, without exception.

Xiao Fan raised his eyes and stared silently at the enormous Water Prison that was rapidly expanding and crushing towards him from above.

It was immediately recognizable as the same barrier skill used to trap the two major player teams from Hei Mi and Mirror City.

His level is not yet over 100, and the difference in combat power between them is huge. He is not confident that he can directly confront and dodge the ultimate skill of a level 300 Magic Beast.

At the critical moment, Xiao Fan did not hesitate for a moment and turned around to shout behind him.

"Bao Bao!"

Earlier, on the way here, Bao Bao transformed into human form and followed the group.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's call, she immediately raised her head and walked out calmly from the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd, her posture upright and her demeanor proud.

She glanced up at the Water Prison looming menacingly overhead, a hint of utter disdain flashing across her delicate features. She snorted softly, her cool voice brimming with arrogance.

"Hmph, such a trivial skill, yet you dare to show off your limited abilities before an expert."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bao Bao raised her hand slightly, and a faint light flowed from her fingertips. Three sharp and piercing cyan Wind Blade suddenly shot out from the air, so fast that they left only a blur!

The first Wind Blade was incredibly precise, slashing straight at the oncoming giant Water Prison. The remaining two Wind Blade sped off in opposite directions, accurately locking onto the other two Water Prison on the Blue Stone platform that imprisoned players.

While traveling, Bao Bao overheard Xiao Fan and his group's purpose Qingqing, knowing that they had come to rescue the trapped human players.

As her master's personal Magic Beast, she naturally had to share her master's burdens, so she conveniently saved those people.

She has always been so insightful, understanding, and considerate.

Under the unwavering gaze of everyone present, the three sharp Wind Blade swept through the three thick and sturdy Water Prison without encountering any resistance!

Boom--

The Water Prison that attacked from mid-air shattered instantly, and the vast lake water instantly turned into a sky full of fine mist, which drifted away and completely disappeared.

Meanwhile, Hei Mi, who was firmly imprisoned on the Blue Stone platform, and the two Water Prison of the players in Mirror City also collapsed in response.

Countless trapped players tumbled out of the shattered Water Prison, landing heavily on the cold Blue Stone ground.

The fresh, abundant air instantly rushed into my parched lungs, and my blood oxygen bar, which was on the verge of depletion, finally stopped its rapid decline and slowly rebounded.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, utterly exhausted and drenched in sweat, their eyes filled with the ecstatic joy and lingering fear of surviving a disaster.

They survived! They've been given a second chance at life!

After a brief silence, the players from the Dragon Nation erupted in gasps and cheers, their suppressed elation sweeping across the entire arena.

"My God! Bao Bao is too strong!"

"This is outrageous! The seemingly insurmountable Water Prison trap was broken by Lord Bao Bao with ease!"

"They're both high-level Magic Beast of level 300; the difference in strength is on a completely different level!"

"Compared to Bao Bao, the Fairy Fish is simply no match. Whether in strength or appearance, she is far inferior!"

Sincere praises rang out continuously, filled with admiration and awe.

Bao Bao held its long, white neck high, a wide smile blooming on its delicate face, its mouth almost reaching its ears, unable to hide its joy and pride.

"Haha, it's not as amazing as you all say." She feigned modesty, but the arrogance and pride in her eyes remained undiminished, her bright eyes sparkling.

She walked slowly to Xiao Fan, her posture proud and her tone confident. "Master, you can negotiate with confidence. With me here, this Fairy Fish won't dare to harm you in the slightest."

Before Xiao Fan could speak, a furious roar suddenly came from the opposite lake, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

"Four Leopards, it's you?!"

As Neutral high-level Magic Beast in a transitional period, the Fairy Fish and the Bao Bao naturally knew each other.

Not only did the Fairy Fish know the Bao Bao, but Magic Beast also felt a deep aversion to it, finding it extremely distasteful and unpredictable. The two had never crossed paths and had never interacted.

The Fairy Fish's eyes churned with overwhelming ferocity and confusion. She simply couldn't understand why the Bao Bao, who always kept to himself and disregarded human life and death, would suddenly help this group of humans who had trespassed into the territory of the Magic Beast.

Bao Bao stepped forward, standing tall and proud, and rolled his eyes at the Fairy Fish without any politeness, his tone mocking and arrogant. "That's right, it's me, ugly fish, what? You don't like it?"

The Bao Bao wasn't afraid of the enraged Fairy Fish at all.

Although her strength couldn't completely overwhelm her opponent, in terms of true combat power, the mere Fairy Fish, who had failed to transform and whose temperament was unstable, was definitely no match for her.

"What did you call me?!"

This harsh address was like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the simmering anger within the Fairy Fish.

The constant intrusions and provocations from numerous human players into her territory had long since exhausted her patience, leaving her burning with rage. Now, being publicly mocked and humiliated by Bao Bao, her pent-up anger finally erupted.

What drove her even more insane with jealousy was that Bao Bao had already achieved perfect transformation, with a slender figure and a radiant appearance, while she herself had failed to transform, her true form being ugly and terrifying, too ashamed to show herself to anyone. This enormous disparity drove her jealousy and hatred to utter madness, completely shattering her last shred of reason.

"You're asking for it!"

The Fairy Fish's eyes widened in fury, and she shouted sharply, her body suddenly wreaking havoc with violent water vapor!

The once calm lake surface was instantly engulfed in towering waves, the water churning, roaring, and surging, as fierce water elemental power gathered wildly!

The next second, countless sharp and cold water blades rose from the lake surface, condensing into a dense array of chilling water arrows, carrying a devastating and fierce momentum, and shooting towards Xiao Fan and his group like a tidal wave!

"Trash, that's all it is," Bao Bao said dismissively.

Just as the water blades were about to strike, Bao Bao moved.

With a casual grab, a small tornado formed in Bao Bao's palm.

"Go."
