638 Chapter 638 “Too Late!“
"What's that?" Li Shi Ying asked Jiu Wei with telepathy. She couldn't see the thing clearly, but the one chasing behind them was glowing in a golden light.
"Sorry mistress, I don't know what that is, but since I sense spiritual energy coming from that creature, let's assume that it's a beast." Jiu Wei tried hard to think of a possibility but none came to his mind. He didn't know what thing that was chasing after his mistress.
'Guys, the one behind us might be a beast so keep swimming to get away from it!' Li Shi Ying continued swimming as she asked Jiao Cong Ming and the others to hurry to get away from the glowing thing behind.
She could just stop to engage in a battle with this unknown creature, but her feelings told her to run. She also had summoned back her shark beast in fear the unknown beast would suddenly attack her beast.
'Tell Li Shi Ying that the thing behind us swims so fast!' Zhan Jiouli poked Jiao Cong Ming as he told him to rely on the message. He and Xie Mei were at the very back of the group since they had to protect Jiao Cong Ming, so they knew for sure just how fast the thing behind them was.
If the thing caught up with them...the one that would suffer most would be him or Xie Mei first! He believed in Jiao Cong Ming's array, but his instincts as a cultivator told him that the thing behind…could get past Jiao Cong Ming's array!
'Li Shi Ying, Zhan Jiouli says that the creature is so fast, it has almost caught up to us.' Jiao Cong Ming gripped the flag tighter as he poked Li Shi Ying to inform her. He very much wanted to let Li Shi Ying hide the flag in her storage space, but a pity they couldn't do so. It was against the rules.
Their flag had to be visible, else they would fail in this second round.
'What?! That fast??' Li Shi Ying couldn't help but gasp in surprise, even though she didn't stop her movement. She was sure that their team's speed was very fast already thanks to the speed talisman they used. It was still in effect, so how could the unknown creature catch up so fast?!
'Let's stop and fight that thing.' Zhan Jiouli pulled on Li Shi Ying's sleeves as he signalled her that they should stop and battle the creature. He thought it would be impossible to escape from this creature that suddenly chased after them.
Not to mention that they couldn't see its appearance due to the blinding golden light enveloping the creature!
'Can we fight it?' Li Shi Ying stopped and blocked Jiao Cong Ming from swimming forward, immediately stopping the whole team as she turned her head around, facing Zhan Jiouli.
She saw Zhan Jiouli signal to fight even though she didn't know what he was saying, so she stopped for a bit to prepare for that. She too thought the same as Zhan Jiouli. If they escaped they would only waste their energy, since the creature would still chase after them no matter how fast they were.
Fighting the creature would be the best way to defend themselves!
'Let's fight, Jiao Cong Ming, strengthen your array.' Zhan Jiouli nodded his head and quickly asked Jiao Cong Ming to strengthen his array. He just had a feeling that the array they had now wouldn't be able to protect them from the creature behind.
'I am strengthening it now.' Jiao Cong Ming squinted his eyes as he looked at the golden light coming closer to their place. The golden light wasn't big, it was only as big as a small fish when they looked closer.
Is that really a beast? There was a beast that small? Wait. That shape...looked familiar…
Jiao Cong Ming had strengthened his array and at the same time, his eyes caught the shape of the creature inside the blinding golden light. If his eyes didn't play a trick on him...what he saw was…
A pair of wings?
Jiao Cong Ming's face paled as he wanted to shout, yet realized that he couldn't speak underwater. He could only tug on Li Shi Ying's sleeves while shouting without sound.
'That's the golden fairy from the legend!!' Jiao Cong Ming panicked, but Li Shi Ying could only catch the word 'legend' from Jiao Cong Ming.
What? Legend?
'What legend?' Li Shi Ying asked Jiao Cong Ming as she watched the creature suddenly disappear from their sight. The golden light before was gone, leaving nothing but empty an spot.
?! Where the hell did that creature go to??
'Yes, legendary golden fairy!' Jiao Cong Ming also saw the fairy disappear, and his heart stopped beating for a second. The fairy could move very fast, don't tell him…
Just when Li Shi Ying caught the word 'golden fairy', Xie Mei shouted to Zhan Jiouli as she saw the creature suddenly appear behind Zhan Jiouli, right inside their array!
'The creature! Jiouli, dodge!!' Xie Mei pulled Zhan Jiouli who didn't know the creature already got right behind him. Xie Mei pulled Zhan Jiouli so he could dodge the creature's movement, but a pity.
She was too late!
