The half-fish, half-human monster walked up to Tianhuo, and Tianhuo was able to see the other party's appearance clearly with the help of the light reflected from the lake in the center.

The half-fish man is tall, although he has half a tail bent to support his body, but he is still nearly eight feet tall, half a head taller than Tianhuo, and if he is put into the water, his body should be too long.

The lower body of the half-fish man starts from the crotch with a huge fish tail, which is covered with cyan scales like fish scales, each scale is the size of a walnut, and it flashes with a long blue light, giving people a very tough feeling.

The upper body of the half-fishman resembles that of a human, he is naked, and part of his body is covered by cyan scales the size of a fingernail above the waist, protecting both sides.

His neck, chin, and behind his ears were covered with finer scales, and his ears were extraordinarily large, unlike Terran ears, like two diaphragms supported by multiple barbed cartilages, extending from the eyebrows on either side of his head to the neck, looking very much like the side fins of fish.

Fortunately, his eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are basically the same as those of humans, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, which looks very heroic, and with the three-strand steel fork he holds in his hand, it looks even more powerful.

The fish-man walked to a distance in front of Tianhuo and stopped, tried to squeeze a smile of kindness on his face, and said, "Hello, Terran monk, don't be afraid, my name is Stygian Spring, I am a mermaid monk, and I am very happy to see you in the Crystal Palace." ”

Tianhuo took his hand out of his arms, but he was still holding the glass bead, he was born with a magic eye, but he couldn't see the cultivation realm of this merman, but he could see that this merman's body was full of death.

Tianhuo replied: "Hello, Stygian Spring, my name is Tianhuo, I came here rashly, I am very disturbed, can you tell me what kind of place this is?"

The merman Styx looked around, and said with a strong look of remembrance on his face: "This place used to be called the Styx Spring Crystal Palace, and it was a cave space opened up by my Styx Spring clan in the depths of the East China Sea, but later this place was lost. ”

Tianhuo asked, "Donghai, but this is the inland of Dongshengzhou, why did the Crystal Palace of your merman clan appear here?"

Stygian Spring said in a low tone: "The Stygian Spring Clan was originally one of the eight major clans of the East China Sea Shark Clan, but later made a major mistake in the battle against the East China Sea Shark Clan, which caused the East China Sea Shark Clan to suffer huge losses, and the East China Sea Shark Emperor was angry and expelled the Stygian Spring Clan from the East China Sea.

The Nanhai Shark Clan also refused to accept us, so we had to go into exile in the coastal area of Dongshengzhou, the situation was very bleak, and finally our patriarch was eager to regain strength, and was deceived by a Terran monk and agreed to move to the interior of the mainland, but we were deceived and the whole clan fell here. ”

Tianhuo asked, "Why do you Sea Clan want to move to the continent inward? And how many people do you have now?"

Stygian Spring let out a burst of laughter like a night owl: "When I moved inward, I was still young, and the specific reason is not clear, anyway, we were deceived by someone Xiu." As for how many people are there? You see that I use the word Stygian Spring as my name, and you should think that I am the last member of the Stygian Springs clan. ”

Tianhuo sighed and said, "I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned your sadness." I wonder if Your Excellency Stygian has summoned me here, what is the matter?"

Stygian Spring said: "My original purpose, you should know, I wanted to trick you into taking away from you, borrow your body to get out of trouble here, and then find a way to continue the Stygian Spring Clan, but unfortunately failed, I am sorry for the ancestors of the Stygian Spring!"

Tianhuo shook his head and said: "You don't have to feel sorry, even if you succeed in taking away me, you will be discovered immediately when you go out, there are at least seven or eight Terran monks in the outer stands, they only need to look at you to see the flaws." ”

Stygian retorted, "I have a way to avoid their detection, but I'm too weak to complete the process. Our clan has a secret method, after the seizure, still retain the soul and consciousness of the original owner, but it is controlled by me, and after the real danger, I can slowly absorb the soul of the host, and finally achieve the whole process of the seizure. ”

Tianhuo only felt a chill down his spine for a while, and said in a hateful voice: "Stygian Spring, you are really vicious enough, although I don't know what cultivation realm you used to be, but your body has completely decayed, and it may collapse at any time, you don't have the strength to subdue me now, otherwise you wouldn't come out to negotiate with me." ”

Stygian Spring said with gloomy eyes: "I didn't expect you to be born with magic eyes, I knew that I wouldn't have made such a big effort to make this place like this, and I used up a lot of my originally small demonic power." ”

After speaking, the body shook slightly, the whole person was like a deflated skin, quickly lost weight, the whole person shrunk from eight feet tall to only six feet high, the body was dry and thin, the scale armor on the body changed from a beautiful cyan to a dark black, and there was a large wound on the side of the fish's tail, which could not be healed, and emitted a fishy smell.

His face had also become extremely thin, his eye sockets were deep, the tip of his nose had rotted away, and his nostrils seemed to be wide open, and his previous plump lips were gone, and his upper and lower lips were retracted so that they could not cover his teeth, revealing a mouthful of sparse fangs, each of which was tapered, and the cartilage on his right ear was almost completely broken, and his right ear was drooping on his face.

Tianhuo was startled by the ugly appearance of the Stygian Spring, and couldn't help but take a step back, only to feel that his eyes suddenly darkened, and then Tianhuo noticed that the beach and lake he had just seen had also changed greatly.

The area of the previous beach and lake has shrunk a lot, the central lake is no longer vast, it has become only a few miles in size, the soft golden sand has also become a lifeless black gray, and the blue lake has also become a slightly black color, and there is no longer a feeling of sparkling, but more like a pool of stagnant water, faintly emitting a smell.

Tianhuo only felt that his pupils contracted, and with his magic eye, he didn't even see the illusion here just now, which showed that the level of this crystal palace was indeed very high when it was intact, but fortunately it was defeated, otherwise no one would be able to escape from here.

Tianhuo asked, "Do you want me to see the real scene here, are you going to fight me to the death, or will you die together?"

Stygian Spring shook his head and said: "I don't want to fight you to the death, my body is almost unbearable, I just want to get out of here now, I want to survive! ”

Tianhuo frowned and looked at the Stygian Spring, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, you say, what are the conditions of cooperation?"

The Stygian Spring said, "If you help my soul to get out of here, I will give you this remnant and the silverfish in the lake." ”

Tianhuo shook his head and said: "I was able to enter here because I participated in a competition, you should know that I am not the only one who came in, the purpose of our entry is to catch the Youquan silverfish and collect the merman's tears, and then determine the competition ranking according to the number of Youquan silverfish and merman's tears caught."

After we get out of here, the Silverfish and the Tears of the Mermaid don't belong to us, and we have to hand them over to the tournament organizers when we go out, so I don't need so many things that don't belong to me, as long as the quantity can make me win the championship.

Also, if you go out with me, I can't guarantee that you won't be discovered by them, and if they find you, I'm afraid you will still be dead, and even your soul will fall into their hands, which may be even more miserable than if you continue to stay here. ”

Stygian Spring said seriously: "I have a way to hide my soul, as long as you don't betray me, the cultivators of the Transformation Stage should not be aware of my existence." There's something here to help you win the game, and you can take it away. ”

Tianhuo continued to shake his head and said: "Your strength is not as good as mine now, even if you don't give these things to me, I have the ability to take them by my own ability, this benefit you promised is not valid, don't give me my own things as gifts."

Something that is not beneficial, and I have to take such a big risk again, you think I will do such a pointless thing. ”

Stygian Spring gritted his teeth and said: "You just need to take my soul bead out, I can give you a merman's tear to let you win the competition, and then promise to give you a merman's tear every year, and you will return my freedom after ten years, is that okay?"

Tianhuo calculated carefully, felt that it didn't seem to be a loss, and said: "Okay, deal, we swear at the same time that if this covenant is violated, heaven and earth will punish it." ”

Stygian nodded in agreement, and the two of them made a solemn oath at the same time, agreeing on each other's responsibilities and obligations.

Stygian Spat out a dragon's eye-sized pearl and a small jade bottle from its mouth, and in the bead there was a small miniature mermaid, very similar to the appearance of the merman before.

Stygian Spring handed the transparent bead to Tianhuo and said, "This crystal ball is the body of this cave, and my soul is stored in it, and it will not be discovered by the cultivators of the Transformation Period, so you can hide it properly." Inside this jade bottle is a drop of merman's tears that I have left.

You can dispose of my body as you like, although it is broken, but it is much more valuable than the merman's tears, if the organizers of the conference force you to hand over my body, you must ask them for a high price, otherwise I will be sorry for my body.

Now that my demonic power has been exhausted, and the labyrinth passage is about to be reopened, I don't have time to help you catch the Youquan Silverfish, and it shouldn't be too difficult to catch the Youquan Silverfish with your strength. ”

After saying that, the Stygian Spring staggered, and Tianhuo hurriedly took the crystal bead from his hand and asked, "Can you teleport my four companions over?" ”

"I don't know which of your companions are, and I can't hold ...... anymore," said Stygian Spring.

Before the words of the Stygian Spring fell, he fell to the ground, and Tianhuo did not immediately go up to help him, after all, this is a foreign race, who knows if he will cheat at this time.

Tianhuo waited for a while, and suddenly there was a clicking sound on the cliff behind him, and the six holes that had disappeared before reappeared, Tianhuo hurriedly grabbed the body of the Stygian Spring and his three steel forks and threw them into the Qiankun bag, which could enter the Qiankun bag, indicating that the Stygian Spring was indeed dead, otherwise the Qiankun bag would not be able to store lifeforms.

Tianhuo knew that after the hole was opened, the other contestants would soon arrive, and without further ado, Tianhuo hurriedly took out the Wuzi Lianxin card and quickly pressed the summon button.

The other players who entered the passage had already found that the labyrinth passage had become a circular road, and they immediately became anxious, thinking that they had taken the wrong path, and many people began to turn around and explore back.

Gu Qingliu was already embarrassed at this time, he didn't know how much grudge Xiong Qing and Wenbo of the Heavenly Dao Sect had with him, and he had been chasing after him, knowing that he had led them astray, but he still persevered in chasing and killing himself.

Gu Qingliu couldn't beat the two of them, and he couldn't get rid of them, so the two sides kept chasing and fighting like this in the passage, and everyone was exhausted.

Also exhausted are Ding Feng and Sikong Nana, it is really inhumane to let two tall people compete in this kind of low passage, most of their energy is spent on bending over and walking, and even when they meet other players in the passage, they will suffer a lot when they move, and they will meet if they don't pay attention to it.

The two of them have not yet found their way to the right passage, and the two of them feel desperate, are they going to be trapped in the maze and find nothing in this race?

Zhong Xingmin happily harvested the second Youquan whitebait, although the water in the pond was cold and biting, but it was just ordinary groundwater, without the protection of the lake, the Youquan whitebait became easy to catch, but unfortunately the Youquan whitebait died when it came out of the water, Zhong Xingmin had to throw their corpses into the leather bag.

At this moment, there was a sudden violent shaking in the labyrinth passage, and all the people in the passage were shaken dizzy, and they had to hold on to the wall to barely stand, and the shaking lasted not long, and it returned to normal, and the six passages to the central lake reappeared.

At the same time, a blue-white light suddenly appeared on Gu Qingfeng, Ding Feng, Sikong Nana, and Zhong Xingmin, whether it was carried on their bodies or placed in the storage bag, and they were activated at the same time.

I saw a few flashes of blue light, and Gu Qingfeng and the other four immediately disappeared from the spot.
