637 Chapter 637 “Distraction“
Feng Wang Zi and Wei Zhuang felt that they were quite lucky to get the flag this early but Long Ao Zhen didn't feel the same. As he tried to detect Li Shi Ying's location, he couldn't help but sense another group of participants yet among them….he could feel a foreign presence.
What's this presence he felt?
The team Long Ao Zhen sensed was actually none other than Meng Yue Ming's team. The team, unfortunately…met a mishap.
'Run run!' Meng Yue Ming's face paled as she ordered her teammates to swim as fast as they could. Behind her, the Duan siblings were trying their best to run away from something that had been chasing after them for quite a while now.
'What kind of creature is that?! Our friend…' Duan Hu Yan grabbed Duan Hui Nan's hand and swam together with her as he looked back to see the place behind him all shone in golden light now.
What kind of unknown creature was chasing after them?!
'E-everyone turned into gold.' Duan Hui Nan shivered as she kept swimming as fast as she could. She saw how her other 2 teammates were caught and turned into living gold. She didn't know whether they were still alive or not at this moment.
'We need a distraction.' Meng Yue Ming thought in her heart as she glanced back to the Duan singlings. She needed a distraction to make this weird creature stop chasing after them, but she didn't want to sacrifice her teammates.
Once her teammates would always be her teammates. She would protect them until the end!
Meng Yue Ming gritted her teeth while trying to find a way to distract the creature behind them when her eyes caught sight of another team.
Huh? That flag…
Meng Yue Ming's eyesight was better than other participants and thus when Zhan Jiouli and the others could only see 5 meters around them, Meng Yue Ming could see 7-10 meters just like Jiu Wei.
If Jiu Wei wasn't in the contract space he could see far more than 10 meters but a pity he couldn't.
That flag….it is Dong Xi Academy's flag! Doesn't that mean that hateful girl is there? This...this could work! The creature behind them likes anything that shines. They were being chased around because they had the golden water lily with them.
If she threw the lily to Dong Xi Academy's group…
Meng Yue Ming smirked as she took out the golden water lily from her storage space. She covered the lily with a black cloth so the light wouldn't be seen until it was thrown away and the cloth fell off.
'You guys, swim to the left!' Meng Yue Ming poked the Duan siblings and pointed her finger to the left, instantly letting them know that they have to turn left.
Those two didn't know why they had to turn left but they still did as Meng Yue Ming asked. In fact, Meng Yue Ming let those two escape while they wouldn't be noticed by Dong Xi Academy's team. The one holding the flag was Duan Hu Yan after all. They couldn't get caught!
Meng Yue Ming looked behind to see the creature glowing in golden light already about to arrive at her place, and she tightened her grip on the water lily in her hand.
Dong Xi Academy's team still hasn't noticed their presence...since they were behind them they wouldn't know about this and even if they knew...it would be too late!
Meng Yue Ming inserted all of her cultivation energy, and before the creature behind her caught up, she threw the covered golden water lily to Li Shi Ying's team. The moment she threw the lily, she herself quickly fled away, following after the Duan siblings.
"Mistress, something is coming towards us with high speed!" Jiu Wei was startled when he noticed a tiny thing suddenly coming towards them with a fast speed. He couldn't see what the thing was, since he could only see something with Li Shi Ying's eyes, but he could sense the presence.
"What thing- eh! That is a golden water lily!" Li Shi Ying stopped swimming and the golden water lily landed right on her palm. There was a black cloth falling off the lily, revealing a bright, golden light coming from the lily itself.
'What is this thing doing here?' Jiao Cong Ming muttered to himself and stared at the lily with confusion on his face. He didn't know why the hell a lily would suddenly come to their place!
'Maybe it's being swept away by the water flow, let's just continue moving.' Li Shi Ying stored the lily again, afraid it would attract another weird creature when suddenly Jiu Wei shouted in her mind.
"Mistress, there's one more foreign presence behind us! This one's powerful! Overflowing with spiritual energy...it could be a beast!" Jiu Wei shouted through telepathy as he warned Li Shi Ying.
Unlike cultivators, beasts cultivated using spiritual energy, and thus they could sense whether it was a beast or human. Of course mythological beasts were an exception.
"Another beast?!" Li Shi Ying stopped swimming and poked Jiao Cong Ming three times as a signal that there was danger behind them.
What other beast is it now?? Shark? Stingray? Wait...why the hell… does it glow in golden light?
