Although the water was extremely dark and bubbles kept rising from below, Li Xiaoya's powerful divine sense allowed him to perceive everything underwater with perfect clarity. Several dozen yards beneath him, countless enormous, strange fish swam back and forth. The smallest were as long as a person, while the largest were four or five times that length. Their huge heads occupied a third of their bodies and were covered in thin, sharp bone spikes. A row of needle-sharp, serrated teeth lined their great mouths, and their enormous, crystalline eyes gleamed with white light. Fiery red scales covered their bodies. Most terrifying of all, each fish had two enormous frog legs and a pair of forelimbs, covered in barbs and ending in huge, fan-shaped hands and feet. When they swam, all four limbs moved together, sending their speed soaring.
These strange creatures had to be the Steel-Mouthed Fish that Blazing Flame Daoist had mentioned. Judging by their auras, even the smaller ones were demon beasts around the fifth tier, while the larger ones had already reached the sixth tier. Their numbers were staggering. Even Li Xiaoya's powerful divine sense could not penetrate this mass of Steel-Mouthed Fish to probe the deeper lakebed. By his rough estimate, there were at least seven or eight thousand, if not ten thousand. No wonder he had cursed Blazing Flame Daoist so fiercely.
Tsk, there are too many of these damned fish. Looks like I'll have to turn invisible and dive. After a moment's thought, Li Xiaoya made up his mind. None of these fifth- or Sixth Tier Steel-Mouthed Fish were his match, however numerous they were, but with the time limit, how could he afford to get tangled up with them? Time waited for no one.
With that thought, Li Xiaoya's figure blurred and vanished.
