Chapter 1377: Frozen
In the pool below the waterfall, two figures more agile than a fish were entangled together.
Zhang Heng and seahorse had been fighting underwater for almost ten minutes, but there was still no winner.
However, compared to ten minutes ago, Zhang Heng’s body had a few more wounds. Most of them were bruises. The only two bleeding spots were from his back hitting the sharp part of the stone wall.
Of course, Zhang Heng did not pay the price for nothing. Although seahorse was not injured, the trident in his hand had seven more knife marks. About three minutes ago, Zhang Heng suddenly changed his usual behavior and no longer targeted him, instead, he began to attack the Golden Trident.
Seahorse’s pressure field was effective in a radius of one meter around him, but the majestic trident in his hand was already more than two meters long. In other words, unless he kept it in front of him, as long as he waved it.., the trident would leave his pressure field, which gave Zhang Heng a chance.
Seahorse did not know what material Zhang Heng’s knife was made of, but it was incredibly hard. Logically speaking, a divine weapon like the Trident should not be so fragile, but the truth was that he was shocked.
If the first time was an accident, then every time the knife came into contact with the trident, it would leave a cut on the trident. After being slashed by Zhang Heng a few times, Seahorse was afraid, so he took the initiative to put some distance between them, he forcefully used the cold weapon as a staff. However, this way, he would be a little tied up in the upcoming battle.
Seahorse also thought about whether he should be ruthless and sacrifice the trident to finish off the powerful enemy in front of him. After all, it was not easy for Zhang Heng to destroy this B grade artifact, and he himself was injured in order to hit the Trident, in such a head-on clash, the chance of Zhang Heng falling first was much higher.
However, Seahorse eventually dismissed this tempting idea. After all, this Trident wasn’t his weapon, but Poseidon’s. It was only lent to him for the time being, seahorse could already imagine Poseidon’s fury when he saw the wounds on the trident, not to mention the fact that the Trident would be destroyed.
Even though the master of laraya was Poseidon’s archenemy, after this matter was settled, Poseidon still had another life-and-death battle to fight.
He definitely did not want to lose his weapon at this critical moment, so seahorse had no choice but to pull away from Zhang Heng. However, this way, more than half of the advantage that he had worked so hard to accumulate would be wasted, fortunately, Seahorse’s patience did not diminish because of this. In this battle, he only had one thought, and that was to get rid of the opponent in front of him!
Seahorse’s tenacity also won Zhang Heng’s admiration. Although a part of it was due to the trident, to be able to fight until now without a victor, Seahorse himself was the most crucial factor. In terms of combat experience, Seahorse was only slightly inferior to him. Zhang Heng could tell that this tough man with a hunter’s temperament was also experienced in hundreds of battles like him.
Unfortunately, only one of the two would make it back to the surface alive.
However, just as Zhang Heng was about to launch his next attack, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and frowned. Seahorse also stopped what he was doing. As Poseidon’s agent, the son of the sea.., he was naturally very sensitive to the surrounding hydrologic environment.
He could feel a cold current suddenly appear behind him. At first, Seahorse thought that Zhang Heng was holding back, but when he raised his head, he was suddenly stunned.
That was because he realized that the water above his head was starting to freeze.
It was still summer. Even though the temperature in the deep mountains was slightly lower than outside, it was only a few degrees. It was impossible for it to reach the freezing point, however, the scene before his eyes told him that the water surface was indeed freezing.
In fact, it was not just the water surface. The cold air from behind was spreading to the pool at an alarming speed. It seemed like it was going to freeze the entire pool!
..
The man wearing sunglasses by the shore also showed a dumbfounded expression. He stared blankly at the youth squatting by the pool.
The other party was originally from the second echelon. After hearing the news, he came with the group of diving suits. After coming, he put his right hand into the pool without saying a word.
Then, all the people standing by the lake suddenly shivered. Immediately after, a thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the lake. The thin ice quickly spread in all directions. In less than half a minute, the entire pool was frozen.
It was only then that someone realized something. The first to rush out was the people from the second front. They shouted at the young man by the pool, “What the hell are you doing?”
“Helping you guys who have no efficiency to end this battle as soon as possible,”the young man said calmly as he took off the beats headphones on his head.
“But our people are still down there!”
“I know, and I’m very grateful to him. If it wasn’t for him helping to stall Simon, I wouldn’t have been able to freeze this pool.”
“Do you know that the one you froze isn’t just Simon, but Seahorse as well? ! I advise you to leave this pool before we make a move on you.”
The players on the second front had unfriendly expressions on their faces. Although seahorse usually liked to travel alone, wandering around the world, and didn’t really participate in guild events, he was still a member of the same guild as them.., they could not just watch as their comrades were frozen under the water by this young man who appeared out of nowhere.
However, the young man remained unmoved. He said unhurriedly, “How many people died in your previous operation?”
The people on the second front were stunned.
The young man continued, “If we let Simon escape, how many people in the world will die? Sacrificing one person to save the entire world, isn’t that why we are here?”
The people on the second front were a little speechless, but after a moment of silence, they still forced themselves to say, “You don’t know about seahorse. He’s invincible underwater. Even if you don’t have to freeze this pool, he can still kill Simon.”
“Maybe. I hope he’s really as strong as you say, but ten minutes have passed and he still hasn’t come up. This means that he has indeed encountered some trouble in his battle, which means that there’s a possibility of failure. If he dies, what do you plan to do? Send ten unlucky people in your ridiculous diving suits down to die?”The youth with the beats headphones around his neck looked around.
This time, there were even more people who didn’t speak. Even the man in sunglasses stopped in his tracks.
“You guys have to think carefully. Opportunities don’t always exist. When that seahorse loses, it’ll be too late even if I want to fight,”the young man said leisurely.
