Chapter 571 Monster Fish Spirit
Mengyu rubbed her eyes, and everything in front of her was still there: she had actually discovered stone steps, stone pillars, and stone thresholds at the bottom of the lake.
She reached out and touched the stone pillars, finding that the material of the pillars, which had turned greyish-white from prolonged soaking, seemed to be made of Jade!
Looking at the stone steps and the stone threshold, they were also made of the same Jade.
Pillars of Jade, could this be the legendary Dragon Palace?
Suddenly, a premonition of danger struck her heart, and she swiftly kicked off the stone pillar, dodging away from her original position.
At the same time, she swept her Divine Sense over her previous location and found that a gigantic Monster Fish had appeared, biting on the pillar with its open mouth.
My God, there was such a colossal fish!
Mengyu had never seen such a big fish; its head was even larger than the shellfish she had just collected, its body was at least five or six meters wide, and about thirty meters in length.
The scales on its body were as big as a palm, each shimmering with the brilliance of sapphires, extremely beautiful.
No wonder there were no other fish around!
When the Monster Fish realized it had bitten the wrong thing, it immediately turned its head to look at Mengyu.
Mengyu noticed that there seemed to be fluctuations of Spiritual Power around the body of the fish—was this a Fish Spirit?
Clearly, the Fish Spirit had also sensed the smell of Spiritual Energy on Mengyu and considered her a delicacy, wanting to consume her to increase its Dao cultivation.
Mengyu quickly pulled out her bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the Monster Fish.
The fish’s eyes flashed with disdain, and with a flick of its fin, the arrow shot by Mengyu was deflected aside.
Mengyu was greatly surprised; her bow and arrow were a Magic Artifact, yet could it be so easily deflected?
She drew her bow and loosed another arrow, this time controlling the arrow with her Divine Sense, aiming for the Monster Fish’s eyes.
The Monster Fish seemed to recognize the power of the arrow and swiftly dodged, but due to Mengyu’s control, though it avoided the eyes, the arrow struck close by.
However, when the Magic Arrow hit the fish scale, it merely left a white mark before sliding off.
These fish scales were unexpectedly hard.
This Monster Fish, bearing scales that even a Magic Arrow couldn’t penetrate, would not be easy to kill.
Angered by Mengyu’s Magic Arrow, the Monster Fish lashed out with its massive tail, carrying a formidable force aimed at Mengyu.
Mengyu felt that if she were struck by it, she would either die or be seriously injured.
But at such close distance, with the tail sweeping towards her at an astonishing speed, she simply couldn’t dodge it.
Left with no choice, Mengyu flash-stepped into her space at the next moment.
After the Monster Fish’s tail swept through, Mengyu disappeared, leaving it puzzled—where did the delicacy go?
Mengyu reappeared behind the Monster Fish, nocking another arrow, and shot directly at the fish’s anus.
Sensing Mengyu’s reappearance, the Monster Fish, intent on taking the hit, did not dodge, but instead turned around to bite at Mengyu.
Mengyu hadn’t expected it to not dodge, and as the gaping mouth of the Monster Fish approached, she hastily tried to duck back into the space, but suddenly found that she had lost contact with it!
She panicked—had the Monster Fish locked onto her Divine Sense after seeing her disappear?
What did this mean? The fish’s cultivation level was higher than hers!
She decided not to dodge, but instead leaped forward, charging directly towards the Monster Fish’s mouth.
Which prey wouldn’t desperately attempt to escape upon reaching its mouth?
The Fish Spirit also hadn’t expected her to charge directly into its gaping jaws and hastily tried to clamp down with its teeth.
