Chapter 257: Immortal Lake Temple

(Regarding Meng'er's major adjustments, I was not sure about the specific characters and personalities of him and Yin Zhen when I was creating before, so I wrote it more vaguely, and when I looked back, I found that the gender was also confused.) Here it is corrected that the dream ear should be male, and the chanter should be female. Readers, forgive me! īŧšpīŧ‰

Soon after the red scales of the Immortal Lake Temple disappeared, the dream world created by her also began to shatter like a puzzle, and the tremors and shaking that seemed to break the sky and the earth made the three teenagers startled, but in the blink of an eye, they were back in front of the main entrance of the Fairy Lake Temple.

Seeing Ouyang Hongye and Mochizuki again not only convinced them that they had returned to the real world, but also made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief. Ling Yu and Qian Qi invariably set their eyes on Ouyang Xiaoleng, and when he opened his palm, he found that he was indeed holding the key to the heart inside.

"What the hell is going on? Why did this key suddenly come to you? Ouyang Hongye stared at the glittering key in Ouyang Xiaoleng's hand and asked in surprise and joy.

"Didn't we disappear?!" Qianqi asked him first.

"Disappear?! What are you talking about?! A second ago you were saying that the key was shrinking, and we found out that it was! Even Ouyang Hongye, who was extremely smart, was troubled by Qianqi's strange words, like a second monk bewildered.

"It looks like we've been in that world for most of the day, but it's actually just the blink of an eye." Ouyang Xiaoleng explained to Qianqi.

"Don't worry about it so much, now that we have the key, let's quickly open the door, and we'll explain the rest later!" Lingyu seemed much calmer than when he was in the dream world, and instead reminded them to the side.

"Hmm!" Ouyang Xiaoleng squeezed the key tightly and carefully inserted it towards the keyhole on the door,

As the key turned, they all held their breath and waited for the sound of the mechanical cylinder to be opened, and when the door was finally slowly pushed inward, they almost couldn't help but shout hooray.

The light in the Immortal Lake Temple was dim, and it had to rely on demon fire to advance, and there was a fishy smell faintly coming from it. Walking in such a place is like walking in a grave, and one wonders if you might step on a decomposing corpse with your next foot.

When they finally came to the open hall, they released a lot of demonic fire from their hands to reflect the general situation in this space. On the walls around them and the vaulted ceiling attached to them, the scene of the Divine Lotus Pond is depicted, whether it is the lotus flowers blooming on the water, or the divine birds such as the Condor Beast and the crane flying in the air, and even the tail fish swimming in the water, they are all painted so lifelike, as if they will move at any time.

The most beautiful of them all was the red carp, much larger than the others, which swam at the very front of all the fish, in the direction of a man dressed in white standing on the shore. The man in white was probably the god Qiansu himself, and the huge red carp should be the red scale he sent to the Immortal Lake Temple to serve as the god master.

"Hey, why isn't anyone here?" Qianqi muttered to Ouyang Xiaoleng beside him in a low voice.

Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't rush to answer him, because at first glance, it seemed that there were only a few of them in this hall, but he could feel that the aura that didn't belong to them was hiding somewhere. After breaking the seal of the power of the gods and demons in his body, his perception ability has increased several times compared to the past, and he can catch subtle signals even when others can't detect it.

He intuitively felt that these special signals came from the painting on the wall, and his eyes began to examine the huge scroll carefully through the light of the demon fire. When his gaze fell on the big fish in the painting, he felt that it seemed to have a slight tail swing. But he wasn't quite sure if it was really caught by his eyes, or if it was just a hallucination, so he didn't say anything at once, but continued to observe the big fish with all his attention.

After only a few seconds, the big fish blinked again. This time, Ouyang Xiaoleng was sure that he was not mistaken, because there had never been a fish in this world that could blink its eyes, let alone the big fish that only existed in the painting.

He said to his companions around him, "I think I found it!" ”

"Where?" Qianqi asked after looking around again, still finding nothing.

"It's in that painting above our heads!" Ouyang Xiaoleng said and pointed his hand upward.

And at the same time as he stretched out his hand, the big fish also decided not to hide it anymore, at first it was just swimming back and forth in the painting, and the small fish that had been painted behind it also swam after it as if it had life the moment it touched it. Next, they simply broke free from the shackles of the scroll and rushed towards Ouyang Xiaoleng and them.

"Everyone, be careful!" Ouyang Hongye shouted as he summoned his weapon.

"It's just a school of fish, what's the big deal!" As he spoke, Mochizuki raised the Moon Shadow Knife in his hand and swung it, using his sword qi to fly his demonic power towards the group of fish.

But the big fish was very flexible, and when it saw that Ouyang Xiaoleng had all opened up and was ready to fight, it led the small fish behind it to skillfully bypass them, thus avoiding Mochizuki's sword qi. Then, they quickly turned around and continued to attack them, this time the fish spat out countless purple bubbles from their mouths and floated around them.

"Bubbles can be poisonous!"

Ouyang Hongye subconsciously felt that those purple bubbles were unusual, so he instructed everyone to block their breathing with their arms for the time being. Sure enough, the bubbles quickly exploded in the air and scattered into tiny droplets. When the droplets of water fell on their clothes or on the ground, they turned into wisps of purple smoke and rose upwards.

"As soon as you come up, you will use this kind of trick!" Qianqi shook the poisonous liquid on his sleeve and said.

Ling Yu kept in mind the decision that everyone had made when analyzing the Four Divine Judgments before, Meng'er's main opponent should be him, and he felt that this one who transformed into the Red Scale Body of the Immortal Lake Temple Divine Lord should be Meng'er. Therefore, he forgot that he had not explained to Ouyang Hongye and the others that he had drunk the blood of the Eagle Owl Demon, and naturally summoned the Jade Owl Brocade. He kept his eyes on the big red fish circling above them, ready to catch it with a large net formed by the jade owl brocade.

"Your weapon?" Ouyang Hongye couldn't help but ask when he saw that Ling Yu's weapon was very different from before.

"This is a weapon recreated for me by the Demon of the Eagle Owl, called Jade Owl Brocade!" Ling Yu's concentration was completely on the big fish, and he didn't notice the strangeness on Ouyang Hongye's face.

In fact, Ouyang Hongye had already discovered that the real change in Ling Yu's body was not his weapon, and when he used his power, he realized that he was not just as powerful as before, to be precise, he was now using a power that did not belong to him at all. But he didn't dare to imagine that this young man might have become a demon, and now that the enemy was present, there was not so much time for him to question the other party, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being.

Seeing that the big red fish was hovering in the air all the time, but it didn't attack them again, Ling Yu couldn't hold it back. He chose to take the initiative to attack it, and at the same time as he soared into the air, he controlled the jade owl brocade in his hand to stab at the big fish, but he never thought that an incredible scene happened, the countless small fish gathered together in an instant, and formed a shield to protect the big fish.

At the same time, the shield was constantly spinning. Since the shield was formed by the small fish with their own bodies, the scales on their bodies reflected a dazzling light, causing Ouyang Xiaoleng to close his eyes from time to time.

Ling Yu originally thought that how could he be his opponent of the jade owl brocade just by relying on the shield formed by those small fish, but he never thought that his jade owl brocade would be bounced back by the shield.

"Strange!" He couldn't help but shout, and threw the jade owl brocade again, but the result was the same as the last time.

"Although Meng Er is the weakest one among the four gods, he has the power of gods and demons after all, so it will definitely not be so easy to deal with!" Ouyang Hongye saw the frustration on Ling Yu's face, so he flew to his side and comforted him.

"Why don't you all go on it together, how about a whole fish feast today?" Mochizuki also flew over and said.

Together with Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qian Qi, the few of them gradually surrounded the big red fish that was protected by the shield formed by the small fish, and attacked it at the same time.

"The shield only has one side, so no matter how strong it is, someone will always be able to get behind it!" Ouyang Hongye confidently reminded the others.

They followed his words and attacked in different directions, and the shield was at first blocking again and again from various directions at a faster speed, but then it suddenly changed into another form. The small fish split into twelve small pentagonal shields at great speed, and then combined into a complete dodecahedron, and once again protected the big red fish in it. Sometimes they expand outward, sometimes they shrink inward, and they cooperate with each other without flaws.

"What's the point of hiding all the time! And what the hell is this?! Qianqi heard the sound of his jade cicada sword colliding with the shield, and felt that the shield was not composed of small fish at all, because they were even harder than metal.

"Hahaha!" A woman's arrogant laughter finally came from the dodecahedron, "I didn't expect the power of this red scale to be so useful, it's wonderful!" ”

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Thousand Riders shouted at the polyhedron monster.

"These are not ordinary fish, although they exist in this painting, they are collaged with the scales of the fish living in the lotus pond of the True God Domain, the scales of those fish are much harder than metal, it seems that I have really got a treasure!"

"What should I do?" Qianqi retreated to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ouyang Hongye and asked.

After learning why the shield formed by the small fish was so strong, they had to pause their long-term ineffective attacks and think of countermeasures first.
