Chapter 378 Leech Beast
Xu and Jiang slowly moved their bodies, their eyes filled with malice as they stared at the two of them.
They ran toward the direction where the barrier had shattered, but when they got there, they found that the barrier had already healed.
They are now essentially locked in an isolated space.
Their world has become distorted, while the other side of the barrier remains calm and undisturbed.
Zhongli Yuelu cursed the two idiots in her heart. Why did they have to resort to such underhanded tactics at a time like this?
Suddenly a wave surged up, and the group of people opened up a barrier to avoid the water rushing towards them.
This water wasn't ordinary water; it seemed to be viscous and had a sour, rotten smell.
To everyone's surprise, a large, dark green leech with a three-lobed mouth poked its head out.
It seems that it hasn't developed any intelligence yet, and is simply attracted by the gore.
However, the leech's saliva is quite troublesome; it prevents wounds from clotting.
And it's unknown what other abilities it has evolved, but its saliva is corrosive, and it has corroded several holes in the surrounding railings.
Chang Yu Muling shouted, "Oh no! This is a leech monster! It will suck people dry!"
Although Jiang and Xu were afraid, they thought this was a very profitable business.
If Zhongli Yueluo were to perish here, their lives would undergo a complete transformation.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously feigned pitifulness and collapsed to the ground, bursting into tears: "What is this thing? It's terrifying!"
Zhongli Yueluo shook her head, knowing that the barrier behind her wouldn't open so easily unless she defeated the leech monster in front of her.
"Mu Ling, leeches are afraid of fire."
"But I'm not very good at fire magic, though I'm okay at earth magic."
“But it’s in the water, so your magic won’t work. Let me do it.”
Although Zhongli Yueluo said this, she didn't dare to act rashly, as she had heard that this leech monster could split.
If its body were cut in half and split into two, then we would be truly doomed.
"You two stop crying. I remember Miss Jiang, you're skilled in fire magic, aren't you?"
Jiang was suddenly called out by name, and she was a little confused. The tear stains on her face had not yet dried.
"So what if it is...?"
Zhongli Yueluo walked to her side, her eyes also catching sight of the wound on her hand.
It seems she was the one who lured out this leech monster.
He no longer maintained his usual gentle demeanor; instead, he grabbed Jiang's collar and lifted her up!
"You brought this upon yourself, so you must deal with it!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all." He looked like he was stubbornly denying it.
"I'm not going to argue with you about this now. Quickly write a fire spell! Seal his energy gates!"
Her tone was somewhat like that of a superior, brooking no refusal. Jiang had no choice but to grit her teeth and write the talisman in the air.
Then, flames, ethereal and shimmering, surrounded the writing and moved toward the leech-like monster.
I don't know if it was due to the difference in magical power, but it seemed that I only managed to scald the leech monster with a single blister.
It won't hurt anything vital.
Chang Yu Muling made a hand seal, and the cone-shaped spikes of earth and stone shot towards the leech monster.
Zhongli Yueluo was about to call a halt, but it was too late; she directly blasted the leech monster into several pieces.
Disgusting liquid splattered everywhere, and at a visible speed, new heads and tails grew back.
The people present were a little flustered. Chang Yu Muling was also stunned. This was his big move that he had been preparing for a long time.
Now we can't even get hurt, and we've gained so many more enemies!
Zhongli Yueluo's magic power wasn't enough to freeze the entire surface of the water, but she could only try by chanting an incantation.
While Jiang was putting up with the fight, she was also giving Xu a meaningful look. Xu seemed the least noticeable, and she slowly moved behind Zhongli Yueluo.
But she struggled with the thought for a long time, and it seemed she couldn't bring herself to hurt her.
Chang Yu Muling was entangled by another leech monster and had no time to pay attention to Zhong Li Yueluo's situation.
In the end, Madam Xu couldn't bring herself to do it, while Madam Jiang clicked her tongue.
He cursed under his breath, thinking what a useless thing he was.
Then, he threw out a fire talisman, turned around, and revealed a sinister smile to Zhongli Yueluo.
"If someone falls into the water, the leech monster will definitely not target people on the shore."
With just that one sentence, she began to approach Zhongli Yueluo step by step.
Zhongli Yueluo was currently gathering immense power for a freezing spell; interrupting it would harm both herself and others.
She didn't hear what Jiang said at all, but she knew that her approach was definitely hostile.
Jiang raised her eyebrows: "Sorry, but who told you to be so popular all these years!"
He channeled his magic power and gave Zhongli Yueluo a hard push on the back.
Zhongli Yueluo knew they would betray her, but she didn't expect them to be so blatant!
Her powerful spell is about to be completed, which should temporarily restrain the leech monster's movements.
Who knew that Jiang would push her forcefully towards the railing, seemingly determined to kill her.
At such a young age, he already holds the lives of others in his hands.
In an instant, Zhongli Yueluo found the struggle between aristocratic families and royalty somewhat laughable.
Even if Jiang kills her, so what? Isn't it just a wedding dress made for Qianqiu?
She turned her head, and surprisingly, she was smiling, which startled Jiang.
"why are you laughing!"
Zhongli Yueluo opened her mouth, but the sound was too loud due to the surrounding environment.
Jiang didn't hear what he said clearly before Zhongli Yueluo fell into the water.
With a splash, Changyu Muling turned around and saw that Zhongli Yueluo had already entered the water.
The water should have been freezing cold, but for her, who had endured the Ice Curse for so many years, it felt nothing at all.
It was almost as hot as the water she used to take a bath in the summer.
Even from a distance, one could hear the cracking sound of the lake freezing over, gradually binding the leech monster.
Its lower body was frozen and unable to move, while the three halves of its upper body spewed out acid.
Zhongli Yueluo swayed in the water; the attack hadn't caused her much harm.
But she would never let those who wanted her dead live, which could be considered a warning to Qianqiu Changhuan.
He manipulated the ice wire in his hands, which shone in the sunlight, and the composure in his eyes was beyond what one should have for someone his age.
She could actually control the direction of the leeches' attacks, and a mouthful of acid was directed at Xu Shi.
The barrier couldn't keep up; once opened, the entire body was corroded by the acid, leaving it scalded and scarred.
Jiang huddled in a corner, trembling, still relieved that she hadn't been attacked.
But then the leech's head suddenly fell down, heading towards her, its sharp teeth piercing her skin, and she instantly felt her blood draining away rapidly.
She stared wide-eyed at Zhongli Yueluo in the water, her fingers moving nimbly, faintly revealing silk threads.
The murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable; he truly intended to kill her.
Changyu Muling was kind-hearted. Seeing this scene, she rushed over and erected an earthen wall in front of Jiang Shi.
If you were to say that she used all her scheming on seducing men, tears welled up in her eyes as she grabbed Chang Yu Muling's wrist.
"Yue Luo is going to kill me!"
