After the little loach monster swam next to Qiao Bai and Xu Ran, it sucked on Qiao Bai and Xu Ran's fairy power shields with its mouth. The energy that maintained the fairy power shields was also rapidly passing away.
Qiao Bai and Xu Ran smiled, and the immortal power in their bodies shook to death the little loach monsters that wanted to destroy the shield of the immortal power. If they hadn't wanted to see what was weird about these little loach monsters, the little loach monsters
It's difficult to even touch their magical shield.
After getting rid of the little loach monster, Qiao Bai also discovered that the big loach monster that didn't know whether to live or die had swam to the huge ice block and was looking at its 'descendants' frozen in the ice with great curiosity.
The true water in his body was shaking. Qiao Bai caused the huge ice cube to explode. The ice fragments generated instantly turned the loach monster's body into a hornet's nest.
Xu Ran came to collect the inner elixir of the loach monster, while Qiao Bai continued to explore the water pool with his spiritual thoughts.
When Xu Ran got the loach monster's inner elixir, Qiao Bai already had a smile on his face.
"What? Have you found those mermaid monsters?" Xu Ran asked.
"I discovered it, but you would never guess what those mermaid monsters are doing!"
Qiao Bai paused, then continued: "Those mermaid monsters are helping the Mermaid King make a medicinal bath!"
"Medicated bath?"
Xu Ran's eyes widened. Of course he knew what was going on with the medicinal bath, but he didn't expect that the mermaid monster would do this.
"You'll know it when you see it."
Qiao Bai smiled, said nothing more, and took the lead to fly towards the place where the mermaid monsters gathered.
The place where the mermaid monsters gather is at the bottom of the pool. Logically speaking, this should be the void under the Hanging Mountain, but this is indeed the land at the bottom of the pool.
A bubble the size of a room exists at the bottom of the pool, just like a colorless barrier arranged by immortal cultivators, isolating a dry space at the bottom of the pool.
There are dozens of mermaid monsters in the bubble. These mermaid monsters work together according to their division of labor. Some are responsible for guarding, some are responsible for lighting fires, and some are responsible for serving the human mermaid king.
There was a fire in the bubble, but the flame was blue, and it seemed to be a flame produced by some unknown ore.
There was a stone tank above the flame. The water in the tank was steaming, and there were some medicinal-like things floating in it. The Mermaid King was lying comfortably in it, and two mermaids were giving him the medicine in the tank.
Rub your body.
Qiao Bai and Xu Ran had no doubt that this was a way to improve their strength. The area where the Mermaid King had been rubbed was emitting a faint light. This was in Jin Huo's memory. The Mermaid King's skin should not have any
appearance.
Qiao Bai and Xu Ran had arrived not far from the bubble. After seeing the inside of the bubble clearly, their eyes couldn't help but light up, because among the medicinal materials that had not been added to the medicinal bath, Qiao Bai actually gave Jin Huo
An ingredient that is missing in cooking!
The mermaid monster has also discovered Qiao Bai and Xu Ran, and they all looked at them warily.
Qiao Bai wanted to launch an attack immediately, but was stopped by Xu Ran.
"Things are really weird. According to our original understanding, there are only rat monsters and mermaid monsters on this suspended mountain, as well as metallic monsters on the top of the mountain. But it turns out that there are also bat monsters with dark attributes, as well as this pool.
The world in this world! I think that the Mermaid Monster King took a medicinal bath not to guard against us, but to guard against a kind of existence that already exists in this pool!" Xu Ran said.
Although the Water Curtain Cave is humid, it is not a real water world. Compared with the water pool, it is more reasonable that the mermaid monster's lair should be here. As for what the mermaid monster is guarding against, Qiao Bai doesn't think so.
The mermaid monster was guarding against it and Xu Ran, he had already thought of these.
"There is no better way now, we can't wait here forever, right? Let's not talk about whether there are unknown existences, at least we haven't found them yet, but what we found is that the Mermaid King should be improving through medicinal baths
With its own strength, since it needs the protection of the mermaid monster, it means that now is a good opportunity to destroy it! Let's be more careful when the battle comes," Qiao Bai said.
"But there is still a doubt. Why is the Mermaid Monster King not in the Water Curtain Cave when he takes a medicinal bath?" Xu Ran asked doubtfully.
"Because the few stones supporting the stone jar actually grow on the bottom of the pond, like stalagmites. They are arranged in an orderly manner, maybe forming a wonderful formation. Anyway, let's be careful later.
There’s nothing wrong with that!” Qiao Bai said.
"Okay then, let's fight quickly!"
Suddenly, while speaking, he had already sacrificed the double snake scissors, which turned into a stream of light and flew towards the bubble.
The performance of the double snake shears was very sharp when dealing with the sealing bubble in the water curtain cave. However, when dealing with the bubble at the bottom of the pool, the double snake shears were in a stalemate with the bubble, as if they were cutting a metal rod that they could not cut.
Generally, the reason why this happens is because dozens of mermaid monsters are spitting out small bubbles towards the big bubbles. After those small bubbles hit the big bubbles, they immediately merge with the big bubbles, which makes the two snakes
Large bubbles cannot be cut with scissors.
Qiao Bai activated two ice dragons one after another. Since his companions could not handle the bubbles by themselves, he naturally had to take action.
"Pumbaa!"
Two sounds came out one after another, which was the sound of the ice dragon hitting the bubble.
The impact of the ice dragon failed to break the bubble, but it also caused part of the mermaid monster in the bubble to be ejected. At this time, the mermaid king who had closed his eyes opened his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes tightened.
Staring closely at Qiao Bai and Xu Ran.
Qiao Bai once again used his dagger to shoot at the bubble. He understood that although the bubble could last for a while under the joint attack of him and Xu Ran, it would never last long.
A strange scream came from the mouth of the mermaid king. It was very angry at Qiao Bai and Xu Ran's actions. It picked up some water from the medicinal bath and sprinkled it on the bubbles.
The water of the medicinal bath was not as clear as the pool water. After it was sprinkled by the Mermaid King on the bubbles, it spread quickly as if it was breeding, so that in a short period of time, the entire bubble became somewhat moldy.
.
The bubbles turned into a lake, and their resistance to destructive power was also improving. Moreover, the mermaid monsters in the bubbles also attached the water plants in their hands to the bubbles, and those water plants seemed to spread, quickly covering the bubbles.
Covered tightly.
At this point, the bubble's resistance has increased to an exaggerated level! Before, Qiao Bai thought that he and Xu Ran could break the bubble in only two or three minutes at most! But at this moment, he felt that he wanted to break the bubble.
It will take at least one stick of incense to break through it! Moreover, they can't see the situation inside the bubble at all now, and their sight has been blocked by the water plants attached to the bubble.
"A single mermaid monster is not powerful, but working together is really a headache!"
At this point, Xu Ran gave up using the double snake shears to attack the bubble that had become a barrier.
"We must have a new strategy. The mermaid monster uses this method to buy time. If we still follow the current method and wait for a stick of incense, we don't know what kind of variables will happen!" Xu
Ran said again.
"We really need to come up with a new strategy! Since the mermaid monsters want to be the turtle in the urn, let them be the real turtle in the urn. I will start setting up the formation now."
The formation that Qiao Bai is about to deploy is not the 'Wind Killing Formation'. The 'Wind Killing Formation' is an immortal formation that relies on array devices. It is very convenient to set up and very practical, but it also has its drawbacks.
That means it cannot be deployed in water.
Qiao Bai doesn't know many formations now, and they are all relatively low-level. But among these low-level formations, there is one formation that is suitable for the current situation. The name of this formation is 'True
Fire Formation'.
The 'True Fire Array' is not like an array that relies on array devices, nor is it like an array that can be arranged simply by using array patterns. It is a combination of some array materials and some array patterns.
A kind of immortal formation, this kind of immortal formation is more powerful than the 'Wind Killing Formation', but this formation is almost never used in battles with immortal cultivators because it has a very big drawback.
Whether it is the 'Wind Killing Formation' arranged through array devices or the Immortal Formation outlined through array patterns, one thing they all have in common is that nothing can be seen from the appearance. Everything related to the formation that can be seen with the naked eye
, were all hidden when the formation was completed. However, the materials used to set up the 'True Fire Formation' cannot be hidden, which makes its existence visible at a glance during the battle.
, and naturally one will be wary of it.
In the current situation, let's not talk about whether the mermaid monsters can see things outside the barrier. Even if they can see it, Qiao Bai is not worried. If it doesn't work, just let them open the barrier and come out to fight.
Setting up the 'True Fire Array' is very complicated. The required materials include metals, gems, and the bones and inner elixirs of fire-attributed spiritual beasts. However, these things must be placed in the appropriate position and connected with array patterns.
, all array materials emit light.
After Qiao Bai cast three spells in succession towards the 'True Fire Array', the 'True Fire Array' was successfully deployed. The barriers that originally existed in the array immediately disappeared into the formation space formed by the 'True Fire Array'.
among.
Qiao Bai used the magic formula again, using his true fire as a guide to activate the 'True Fire Array' to produce a killing move.
In the fairy formation space, clusters of flames fell from the sky, as if it were raining. These flames fell on the barrier, producing a strong continuous burning effect. Judging from the current situation, the time to break through the barrier will be
Greatly shortened.
Although Qiao Bai could see the situation in the formation space, he could not see how the mermaid monsters in the barrier would react. However, no matter how the mermaid monsters reacted, all he could do was to ask questions from time to time.
The Immortal Formation delivers the power of the true fire of one's destiny, allowing the killing moves in the Immortal Formation to continue.
However, things seemed to be going smoothly, but an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Qiao Bai's heart.
At the same time, Xu Ran suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction to his side. There were abnormal fluctuations coming from there, as if something was about to come out of the ground.
The originally fine bottom of the pool cracked, and a huge figure emerged from inside.
The giant crab is a golden crab, but unlike other crabs, it is hard to tell where its head is and where its tail is! Because where the tail should be, there is a long
For the eyes and mouth, plus a pair of big turtles.
The golden crab is as big as a house. It is the existence that the Mermaid King is on guard against, and the golden crab has been waiting for an opportunity to attack the Mermaid King. However, the appearance of Qiao Bai and Xu Ran caused the entire barrier to disappear.
, which forced it to show up.
The golden crab came with bad intentions. Qiao Bai and Xu Ran immediately launched an attack on it, but whether it was water magic or flying sword energy, none of these things had any effect on the golden crab.
"Peng!"
There was a loud noise, and the giant claws swung by the golden crab hit Xu Ran's long knife, and Xu Ran's body flew out like a kite.
The giant claws waved again, and the powerful impact water shot towards Qiao Bai. Qiao Bai's body quickly retreated, easily dodging the attack of the golden crab.
"Xu Ran, how are you?"
Looking at Xu Ran who had stabilized his figure in the water, Qiao Bai asked hurriedly.
"This golden crab is very resistant to beatings, but it is probably a monster that mainly relies on brute force, and its brute force is not as powerful as imagined. It knocked me away just now, and it only made my blood surge.
, and was not seriously injured as a result." Xu Ran said.
"Let's go, let's avoid it first!"
Qiao Bai greeted Xu Ran, and the two of them immediately retreated into the distance.
Although the golden crab is huge, it also has the ability to swim in the water. It is chasing Qiao Bai and Xu Ran, but its speed is not fast enough, so it is left behind by Qiao Bai and Xu Ran.
"Why should we avoid it? Although it is resistant to beatings, we are not unable to deal with it! Moreover, such a huge metallic monster, not to mention the inner elixir, even the body itself should be a good weapon refining
Resources." Xu Ran said excitedly.
"The golden crab will appear after the mermaid monsters' barriers disappear, so it is most likely what the mermaid monsters are guarding against! Since the mermaid monsters are very guarded against the golden crab, then it should have the ability to break that barrier. Why don't we
Let them fight each other?" Qiao Bai smiled sinisterly.
"Why are they two tigers fighting? If you don't want to kill the golden crab through magic, then simply introduce it into the formation space of the 'True Fire Array', and then use the effect of the formation to combine it with the mermaid monster
Are you going to kill them all?" Xu Ran asked confused.
"You don't know enough about the 'True Fire Formation', so you have such an idea."
Qiao Bai paused, then continued: "The 'True Fire Formation' actually has many drawbacks. Huge creatures like golden crabs cannot be contained in the formation space at all!"
"Then we can kill them separately! You control the fairy formation to deal with the mermaid monster, and leave the golden crabs to me," Xu Ran said.
"It's okay to leave the golden crab to you to deal with, but when I was controlling the fairy formation before, I had an ominous premonition. I always felt that if I broke through the mermaid monster's barrier through the 'True Fire Formation', there would be
Something very troublesome has happened!" Qiao Bai said seriously.
"If you have a premonition, just let them fight."
Xuran really wanted to try his second magical power of the Double Snake Scissors with a golden crab, but since this incident gave Qiao Bai a bad premonition, it was better to play it safe.
After reaching a consensus, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran immediately turned around and flew back.
The golden crab turned around anxiously. It could feel that the barrier was not taken away by Qiao Bai and Xu Ran, but it just couldn't find where the barrier was.
Seeing that Qiao Bai and Xu Ran were back, the golden crab immediately launched a water attack on them.
While avoiding the flying water, Qiao Bai made some changes in his finger movements, and he closed the 'True Fire Formation'.
After the 'True Fire Formation' was closed by Qiao Bai, the original formation space also disappeared, and the barrier appeared in place again.
Seeing the barrier appear, the golden crab immediately waved its claws excitedly and smashed towards the barrier.
However, although the golden crab was smashing the barrier with its two claws, its other pair of eyes was staring at Qiao Bai closely. The other pair of golden giant claws were also in a fighting posture, obviously wary of Qiao Bai.
He Xuran, will it cause any damage?
It was impossible to retreat. Qiao Bai and Xu Ran still wanted to watch the two tigers fight. So, the two of them used the 'Invisibility Technique', and his figure immediately disappeared from the sight of the golden crab.
For the golden crab, time was already very tight. It ignored the suspicion of Qiao Bai and Xu Ran's sudden disappearance, and immediately moved its raised claws back. The golden crab was originally smashing the other side of the barrier.
The pair of giant claws also turned their backs at this moment, and the four open giant claws touched together. Golden light was instantly generated from the gaps between the giant claws, forming two golden light balls.
Like a catapult, the golden crab's giant claws that had previously attacked the barrier swung violently, and the two golden light balls landed on the solid barrier.
There was no sound. After the golden ball of light hit the barrier, it was like two eggs that were smashed. The golden liquid immediately flowed down the barrier.

"It's true that one thing brings down another, that golden liquid is so corrosive to the barrier!" Qiao Bai sent a message to Xu Ran.
"I really didn't expect it! If calculated according to this level, the golden crab can emit up to four more light balls to break through the mermaid monster's barrier!" Xu Ran replied to Qiao Bai via voice transmission.
The golden crab did indeed attack the barrier with light balls again, and it was true that after four light balls passed by, a large hole was eroded into the originally solid barrier.
Through the large hole in the barrier, Qiao Bai and Xu Ran saw a scene that they had never expected.
There were dozens of mermaid monsters in the original fortress, but during the period when Qiao Bai and Xu Ran could not see them, and it was unknown what happened inside, there were only two mermaid monsters left in total.
Among the two mermaid monsters, one of them is the mermaid king. It looks very angry at this time. Its medicinal bath has obviously not been completed, because there are still a lot of medicinal materials left on the ground.
There was another mermaid monster that neither Qiao Bai nor Xu Ran had seen before, but it was the only female among the mermaid monsters.
Among the mermaid monsters Qiao Bai and Xu Ran had seen before, they couldn't tell the male from the male at all, but this extra mermaid monster was obviously different. It had many female characteristics. Moreover, from the mermaid monster, there were also
It exuded a special aura that made Qiao Bai feel that if he faced this female mermaid monster alone, he might not be its opponent.
