Whispering to the Demon Fish, Creating a Chance to Save the Beauty

To the west, Tie Li led three team members into the deep sea to begin setting up the Dragon-Locking Net.

Wang Mengde maintained his Spirit Eye Technique, taking in every movement of his opponent.

Tie Li took out a shimmering silver net from his Storage Bag. The net was initially no bigger than a fist, curled up in his palm, its silver light concealed, showing nothing special about it.

Tie Li channeled his spiritual power into the net.

The ball of silver light suddenly surged, like an inflated balloon, expanding outwards at a visible speed.

The net strands unfurled one by one, emitting a faint tinkling sound, like the plucking of a musical string.

In an instant, a huge spiritual net, hundreds of feet square, unfolded before him, covering the entire northwest corner of the reef area.

Wang Mengde's pupils contracted slightly.

The threads of the Dragon-Locking Net were as thin as hair, yet they gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen, gently swaying in the seawater like a wisp of silver mist blown by the wind.

The mesh is dense and even, with each mesh no bigger than a thumb. Even a small fish the size of a palm wouldn't be able to easily escape, let alone a two-zhang-long Wave-Chasing Flying Fish.

The edge of the net was adorned with twelve heavy lead weights, each about the size of a fist, jet black, and covered with densely packed runes, faintly shimmering with spiritual light.

The sinker sank to the seabed, embedding itself in the gaps between the rocks, firmly securing the entire net to the seabed.

Tie Li then took out two more slender silver needles, their tips sharp as awns, and their bodies also engraved with fine runes.

He drove the silver needles into the rocks one by one. With each needle, a faint ray of light spread from the tip of the needle, spreading along the net and throughout the entire Dragon-Locking Net.

After all twelve silver needles were inserted, the spiritual light on the entire Dragon-Locking Net merged into one, and then quietly disappeared.

Wang Mengde felt a chill run down his spine.

The Dragon-Locking Net disappeared.

It disappeared into the sea, blending into the surrounding reefs, seaweed, and seawater.

Even with his Spirit Eye Technique, he couldn't detect anything unusual at all.

The sea area looked exactly the same as before; the reefs were still the same reefs, the seaweed was still the same seaweed, and the seawater was still the same seawater, as if the overwhelming silver net had never existed.

Tie Li's Dragon-Locking Net had such a large range, and most importantly, he couldn't see it at all.

The Dragon-Locking Net seemed to have vanished from the world completely, leaving not even the slightest trace of spiritual energy fluctuation. Wang Mengde felt a chill run down his spine.

The area covered by Tie Li's Dragon-Locking Net was surprisingly large.

It is a hundred feet square, enough to cover more than a dozen reefs and a large area of sea.

Most importantly, he couldn't see anything at all.

Even with his Peak Mastery Spirit Eye Technique, he couldn't detect even the slightest trace.

If Tie Li were to use this Dragon-Locking Net as an ambush----

The thought flashed through Wang Mengde's mind, and the chill down his spine intensified.

If he were to unknowingly stumble into such a trap, once the net closes, he would be trapped and unable to escape.

He underestimated the abilities of cultivators in this world.

Tie Li, a mere Rogue Cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, possesses such a terrifying magical Law Artifact.

Those cultivators with even stronger cultivation levels possess even more numerous, more unpredictable, and more unpredictable methods.

Moreover, aside from these kinds of Law Artifact, he couldn't see through spirit arrays either.

His Spirit Eye Technique couldn't penetrate the rooms on the island that were Protective Spirit Formation; he could only see a blurry spiritual light and knew nothing about what was inside.

Wang Mengde took a deep breath, suppressing the awe in his heart.

We must remain cautious and never be careless.

He is still very weak.

A cultivation level of the seventh stage of Qi Refining is merely a starting point in this world; one hasn't even touched the threshold yet.

Those Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators and Golden Core stage old monsters possessed methods far beyond his imagination.

Just as his thoughts were turning, the Message Jade Tablet began to tremble slightly.

He infused his spiritual power, Tie Li, resolute voice emanated from the jade tablet, deep and confident, tinged with barely suppressed smugness. "The Dragon-Locking Net is ready. You can begin driving it away now, forcing that beast towards me."

Liu Yiyi's voice rang out immediately, clear and concise, like an ice spring striking a stone. "Understood."

Yan Chang also responded in a deep, steady voice, "Received."

Wang Mengde also brought his lips close to the Message Jade Tablet and said lightly, "Received," while his gaze remained fixed on the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish.

It remained motionless in the shadow of the reef, its gill covers still twitching slowly and evenly, clearly unaware of the danger.

Wang Mengde put away the Message Jade Tablet, took a deep breath, and slowly circulated the spiritual energy within his body.

He silently slipped into the sea, and the moment he entered the water, he used Water Escape Technique, his body becoming one with the seawater, swimming forward silently.

The Spirit Eye Technique remained locked on the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish, its every gill flap movement and every eye movement under his watchful eye.

Sun Hao and his two companions followed closely behind, quietly disappearing into the sea.

The three activated their spiritual power, forming a thin spiritual membrane on their bodies to isolate the seawater and suppress their own spiritual power fluctuations to a minimum.

The movements were extremely careful, each inch of movement slow and steady, like a sea serpent gliding through the water without stirring up any ripples.

Wang Mengde kept his Spirit Eye Technique activated, his gaze fixed on the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish.

He could see that Liu Yiyi and Yan Chang were also quietly approaching from two other directions.

Liu Yiyi's movements were extremely elegant. Her figure floated in the water like a falling leaf, silent and unnoticed. Her spiritual energy fluctuations almost completely disappeared. If it weren't for Wang Mengde's Spirit Eye Technique being far beyond that of ordinary people, he wouldn't have been able to detect her presence at all.

The two teammates behind her, a man and a woman, moved cleanly and silently.

To the north, Yan Chang led two team members into the water as well.

His movements weren't as graceful as Liu Yiyi's, but they were still quite careful.

The three of them clung to the edge of a reef, using it as cover, and slowly approached the hiding place of the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish.

Three groups of people quietly surrounded their prey from three directions, like three silent hunters slowly approaching their prey.

But at that very moment...

As if sensing something, the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish suddenly moved.

Its Yao Qi suddenly surged, like a pot of boiling water bubbling out.

The demonic Yao Qi was incredibly intense, gushing forth from the shadows of the reef and churning the surrounding seawater into a murky state.

Its body suddenly shot out, its slender form leaving a gray streak in the seawater at an alarming speed, heading straight for Yan Chang and his companions.

Wang Mengde's Spirit Eye Technique had been locked onto it, and he could see it clearly at this moment.

The fish had completely concealed its aura, lurking in the shadows of the reef, and even he thought it was only at the Seventh-Level Lesser Demon.

Now that it suddenly erupted, unleashing its full Yao Qi, he realized that it was actually Eighth-Level Lesser Demon of cultivation.

It's not the Seventh-Level Lesser Demon, it's the Eighth-Level Lesser Demon.

But.

The Wave-Chasing Flying Fish, with its Eighth-Level Lesser Demon demonic cultivation, wasn't too much of a threat.

He used all his skill in the Entwining Silk Technique to entangle it with his Peak Mastery.

One more powerful Water Arrow Technique will finish it off.

Wang Mengde's eyes narrowed slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Perhaps..

This could create an opportunity to rescue the beauty.

He remembered that the Demon Fish at the Seventh-Level Lesser Demon Realm already possessed considerable intelligence.

Wang Mengde used Voice Transmission Technique to send a message to the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish: "It's dangerous over there, don't go there."

The Demon Fish paused slightly, clearly understanding.

But it didn't believe that at all.

It was like lightning, but even faster.

Wang Mengde frowned secretly; it seemed that creating an opportunity to rescue the beauty would not be easy.

However, there's no rush.

Take your time and look for opportunities.

Wang Mengde took out Message Jade Tablet from his robes, infused it with spiritual power, and whispered, "Be careful, everyone. The Wave-Chasing Flying Fish is Eighth-Level Lesser Demon cultivation, and it's currently fleeing towards Captain Yan's direction."

On the other end of the jade tablet, Yan Chang's voice clearly changed. "What? Eighth-Level Lesser Demon?"

His voice carried a hint of fear.

He was only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refinement, and it was already very dangerous for him to face the Seventh-Level Lesser Demon Wave-Chasing Flying Fish. Now he was being told that the latter was at the Eighth-Level Lesser Demon.

Extremely dangerous.

He immediately felt a desire to retreat, and his fingers were already on his Storage Bag, ready to take out the Talisman for escape at any moment.

Just then, Tie Li voice came from the communication jade talisman, tinged with barely suppressed excitement. "Don't be afraid of danger! Activate the Golden Light Shield Technique and drive that beast towards me. My Dragon-Locking Net will surely catch it!"

He paused, his excitement growing even stronger, even tinged with greed. "The Wave-Chasing Flying Fish of the Eighth-Level Lesser Demon is several times more expensive than that of the Seventh-Level Lesser Demon."

Wang Mengde also spoke up, "My Entwining Silk Technique can control it. Captain Yan, you have a sonic Law Artifact; just drive it over here."

Liu Yiyi's voice rang out as well, still clear and cold, but with a hint of seriousness. "I also have a mid-grade magic Law Artifact, the Demon-Binding Rope, which should be able to bind the Eighth-Level Lesser Demon, the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish."

Wang Mengde clicked his tongue in amazement.

As expected of the daughter of Foundation Establishment True Person, not only is her robe a mid-grade magic robe, but she can also produce a mid-grade Demon-Binding Rope.

Yan Chang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words.

He swiftly pulled a Golden Light Talisman from his pocket and frantically poured spiritual power into it.

He turned to his two teammates behind him and whispered, "Quickly, activate the Golden Light Talisman!"

Before he could speak, the two had already taken out Golden Light Talisman from their pockets and rapidly infused them with spiritual power.

Yan Chang then took out the golden trumpet-shaped magic Law Artifact from his bosom, held it in both hands, and frantically poured spiritual power into it.

The trumpet grew rapidly under the infusion of spiritual power, from the size of a palm to about a foot long, and then from a foot to three feet.

The horn's mouth was pointed in the direction where the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish had fled, and golden runes flowed across its surface, emitting a low, buzzing sound.

Yan Chang suddenly poured his spiritual power into the loudspeaker.

"Buzz..."

Waves of golden sound surged forth from the trumpet's mouth.

Sound waves travel several times faster in seawater than in air.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the seawater violently trembled, seaweed on the reefs was uprooted, and mud and sand were thrown several meters high.

Those ordinary sea fish that couldn't escape in time were hit by the sound wave, their bodies stiffened abruptly, and then they exploded into clouds of blood mist, dyeing that area of the sea a faint red.

The sonic wave slammed into the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish, Eighth-Level Lesser Demon.

Its body suddenly stiffened, and a faint sheen of water appeared on its silver-gray scales—a protective shield formed by Demon Power on its body.

The sound waves crashed against the protective shield, creating ripples. The body of the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish trembled violently in the water, like a plucked string.

It abruptly changed direction, no longer rushing towards Yan Chang, but instead turning south and shooting towards the direction where Wang Mengde was.

Yan Chang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Mengde activated the Golden Light Talisman while observing the situation.

The three people behind Wang Mengde rapidly poured spiritual power into the Golden Light Talisman.

However, the Golden Light Talisman is a second-tier, beginner-level Talisman, and activation requires a certain amount of time.

The Golden Light Talisman in Wang Mengde's hand lit up first, and golden light burst forth, condensing into a golden Light Barrier around him, enveloping his entire body. The spiritual light flowed within it, making it indestructible.

The Wave-Chasing Flying Fish sensed the golden light emanating from Wang Mengde, and a hint of wariness flashed in its deep golden eyes, its slender vertical pupils suddenly contracting.

Its body twisted suddenly in the seawater, turning abruptly at an incredible angle, abruptly turning from the south to the east.

It shot off in the direction where Liu Yiyi was.

But just as the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish turned eastward...

A golden light shone in the east.

The Golden Light Talisman on Liu Yiyi's body was activated.

A golden Light Barrier enveloped her, making her appear like a beacon in the dark sea.

The Wave-Chasing Flying Fish suddenly stopped.

It floated in the water, its slender body slightly arched, its deep golden eyes rapidly scanning its surroundings.

At this time, Sun Hao, Zhang Hu, Li Cheng, and other Island Patrol Guards had also activated the Golden Light Talisman.

Golden Light Barrier of light bloomed one after another in this sea area.

Eleven Golden Light Shield Technique surrounded the Wave-Chasing Flying Fish from the south, north, and east, forming a large circle. The golden light intertwined to create an impenetrable wall of light.

Only to the west, where all was dark, did not any Light Barrier appear.

The Wave-Chasing Flying Fish hovered for a moment within the golden light wall.

The gray figure suddenly sprang out and shot off to the west.

Its speed was astonishing; its slender body almost became a gray streak of light in the water, splitting the seawater in its wake with a white trail, and it covered a distance of tens of feet in an instant.

Wang Mengde immediately sent a Wave-Chasing Flying Fish: "Danger! There's a spirit net ahead."

"
