Chapter 219 Another Anomaly
But just then, Xu Si saw two people stagger off the bus, one of whom was Li Miao.
Another one was somewhat unexpected for Xu Si, and that was the newly joined Tang Jinxiu.
Li Miao was in good condition, while Tang Jinxiu was somewhat drowsy.
Both of them are Sequence 1, so resisting the strange mental erosion must have already overwhelmed them.
Xu Si did not act rashly, but instead kept a close eye on the [Sloth Abyss Serpent] through spiritual perception sharing.
His previous experience taught him not to rush into a fight unless he was absolutely certain of a fatal blow.
Level 4 has more bizarre survival methods than you might imagine.
From the perspective of shared spiritual awareness, Tang Jinxiu struggled to drag Chen Pei's body, trying to throw him into the lake.
Perhaps she felt that only by merging into the lake could Chen Pei's condition naturally resolve itself!
Xu Si also needed help to restrain him, so he directly used Star Guide to lend a hand!
In the brief moment that Tang Jinxiu was stunned, Chen Pei had already fallen into the water.
Meanwhile, Li Miao was checking on everyone's situation from one car window to another.
However, no one was awakened by him.
The strange creature seemed a little stunned.
They did not land, nor did they launch any actual attack.
Xu Si couldn't even sense the guy's malice; the phantom image floating on the lake was just an empty shell.
This feeling is so strange.
The moment Chen Pei entered the water.
"Splash!"
The water not far from the [Sloth Boa] suddenly burst open, and a water giant rose upright from the water, creating a spray of water everywhere.
It's Chen Pei.
That guy was much more decisive than Xu Si; the moment he stood up, he grabbed the huge snake head in the lake.
Is the "Rain Man" series so powerful as long as there is water?
Just as Xu Si had expected, the snakehead was captured by Chen Pei with almost no resistance.
Chen Peishui, the giant, was clearly taken aback, obviously not expecting this strange creature to be so easy to deal with.
Xu Si, meanwhile, was constantly searching the lake surface with his Star Pulse.
That guy was obviously a fake.
At this moment, the "Death-Announcing Crow" in the sky came into play.
The crows circled anxiously in the air, and the three snake heads hissed incessantly, clearly sensing the real threat.
But the threat did not come from the serpentine water shadows that Chen Pei had already disrupted.
"Underwater!"
Xu Si's star veins detected the anomaly immediately.
Almost simultaneously, beneath the calm surface of the lake, less than twenty meters from the giant Chen Peishui, an even deeper shadow silently spread.
It wasn't a physical entity, but rather a shadow, like an undercurrent at the bottom of a river, that was quietly spreading.
Chen Pei's water giant body suddenly stiffened. He then reached into the riverbed, but his movements clearly faltered, and he fell into a slow, struggling state.
"Damn it, not again!"
Xu Si's first attack was the [Sword of Punishment]. Now that this thing has a physical form, it's much easier to deal with.
The enormous "underwater current" dragged the water giant's massive body down to the riverbed, while a giant wave tens of meters high suddenly formed on the calm lake surface.
The water giant's movements became extremely slow and sluggish, as if it were carrying an immense burden.
It had no power to resist the crashing waves.
Xu Si's [Sword of Punishment] did not achieve anything. His Star Pulse clearly grasped the undercurrent, but it did not seem to cause any damage.
Xu Si also lost track of Chen Pei.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Tang Jinxiu collapsed to the ground.
Having only recently awakened, she was at a loss.
During this period, her sequence made almost no progress, and she seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally rejecting her sequence.
Succubi need to bewitch to grow stronger.
However, she was even more withdrawn and less talkative than Su Su.
Aside from the motorhome, she almost never appears in public places with the team, and she rarely interacts with anyone else in the team except for Chen Pei.
This may stem from his lonely experience in the salt market, or it may be a sense of shame about the succubus series!
After all, judging from her past experiences and personality, she is the complete opposite of a succubus.
She could never overcome her psychological barrier to the key characteristic of "allure".
Perhaps she wanted to live in Chen Pei's shadow, neither outstanding nor alluring.
"What's the current situation with the knife?"
As Xu Si was searching for the strange things at the bottom of the lake, he suddenly heard Fu Xiaojian's voice.
Looking back, the convoy was now shrouded in a thick fog.
Does Li Miao's "Words of the Mist" also have the effect of breaking free from mind control?
Li Miao's face looked somewhat pale, but his expression relaxed.
He was just giving it a try.
His plan was to first shroud the team members in his illusions, forcibly awakening their painful memories to counteract the bizarre mind control.
Surprisingly, it worked.
"You guys go first, this guy is tough to deal with!" Xu Si's Star Pulse and Star Eyes' X-ray vision was greatly weakened by the lake water.
This made it even more difficult for him to detect the strange occurrences, so he had no choice but to let the convoy leave first.
It would be good if he or Chen Pei could handle this strange situation.
Sometimes, killing a level 4 monster really depends on luck.
The cawing of the crows suddenly became more urgent, and Xu Si's starry pupils contracted sharply.
The underwater current reappeared, but this time it was scooped up by a water giant and tossed into the air.
Xu Si's sequence origin was running wildly, and he quickly created a huge "starburst".
Starburst
After working with Chen Pei a few times, Xu Si had a certain understanding of Chen Pei's actions.
However, the undercurrent turned into countless splashes of water in the explosion, but Xu Si did not hear the kill notification sound in his mind, nor did he gain any purification points.
The splashes of water that entered the water all transformed into water snakes, swimming away from the shore.
With a swift dive, the three snake heads each grabbed one of the snakes and swallowed it whole.
So, what's going on here!
This system is not smart at all.
Is that guy dead or not?
Chen Pei's figure appeared beside Xu Si, who was momentarily confused.
"He's definitely not dead!" Xu Si said, because no purification points had been received, not a single one.
"Let's go first," Chen Pei said solemnly as he helped Tang Jinxiu up.
To be honest, he didn't know what that thing was. He just fished it out of the water by feel. But since Xu Si said that thing wasn't dead, then it wasn't dead.
However, the crows were overjoyed, swooping down every now and then to catch and eat the scattered water snakes.
Even its injuries have healed considerably.
That's incredibly clever!
Not only do they use fake bodies, they also use clones!
In the end, they were able to escape.
No wonder those who play tactics have dirty minds! This is truly bizarre!
The crow is very fast at swooping down to catch its prey, but what it swallows is only the tip of the iceberg.
In the lake, there was a chilling, vast, and obscure will.
It did not dissipate; instead, as the water snake returned to its source, it became more solid and more... "clear-headed"?
"Something's not right." Chen Pei's voice was damp and cold, and he stared intently at the lake, his face pale.
"Everyone, those who can move, get back to the vehicles immediately! Li Miao, maintain the illusionary fog, don't stop! Xu Si, Chen Pei, cover the convoy, we're breaking out right now!"
The various rear-end collisions that had just occurred had now been cleared away.
"System, purify the human presence of the convoy."
Purification Points: -200, Remaining Purification Points: 23970
Fu Xiaojian's judgment was decisive and correct.
When faced with a level 4 monster that is incomprehensible and impossible to kill head-on, engaging in combat is undoubtedly the most foolish choice.
Especially since it's on the other side's home turf.
"Splash—"
Almost as soon as Fu Xiaojian finished speaking, the center of the lake changed again!
