The next moment, the girl broke free and switched directly to the posture of a celestial being. With her softened body and the help of the wind, she slapped the tree roots with just one blow, and the whole person flew into the air, raised her position, and landed on the top of the tree roots.
Retracting her two swords, she slashed the flying snake back with several quick blows. On the other side, Andasu attacked with her claws, and with the help of Alulu's heavy sword, she chopped the monster into several pieces.
Zoe sheathed her sword, but her giggling expression was gone.
When it was almost sunset, the first powerful enemy appeared in front of the girls.
The tree roots here are already two or three meters thick, making it very difficult to move forward. They are not thick enough to really treat it as a hill, and this thickness is difficult to climb and use as leverage.
A half-fish-shaped monster that seemed to be an amphibious type was lying between two tree roots.
It is somewhat similar to the ferocious snakehead fish, but its body is more flexible and can bend greatly.
The reason why it is called half fish-shaped is mainly because it only has two fin-like forelimbs, which help it crawl out of water.
There is mucus on its body surface, making the place where it is very slippery. It is obvious that it is not a suitable place for fighting. In the humid environment of Mengze Island, there is no possibility of it lacking water.
"Be careful," Leon warned, "This thing doesn't look like it's suitable for combat, but its magic power fluctuation is level 5, so it must have some unique skills."
Cursed Scale Fish, Leon had experienced the power of this monster before, although he would not intervene, he still told the team members its important information.
Seeing outsiders approaching, the Curse-Scaled Fish swam around the tree roots where it was lying, and the scales on its body began to glow.
228. Curse Scale Fish
The girls held their breath and waited, but the curse-scaled fish only swam over the tree roots and did not directly attack.
It is not a large monster, only four or five meters long, which is just right for the tree roots in this area.
The trees here are very damp, and since the fish's body is still covered with mucus, the roots become the best slide for it.
The cursed-scale fish leaped up and landed on a downward-bending tree root. After sliding down, it leaped into the air along the upward root. Its scales, shining with magic power, streaked across the air with brilliant light, which was extremely beautiful, like a fairy dancing.
Seeing this scene, the four girls didn't know how to launch the attack.
After a moment of hesitation, the curse-scaled fish jumped into the water next to the roots.
It is difficult for ships to pass through and for humans to enter the water, but for these water monsters, as long as they are slightly familiar with the underwater environment, they can move freely through the gaps between the roots.
The magical light under the water was moving rapidly, and at this stage, they could no longer aim.
The water surged, and the big fish leaped into the air, landing on a tree root again, leaping along its curved arc, drawing a circle.
The undulating roots that are insurmountable for ordinary people have become its stage.
"careful!"
Zoe suddenly realized something was wrong. She kicked off and did a backflip onto another branch.
The tree root where she had just stood was suspended in mid-air. The water surface beneath it suddenly exploded, and a column of water surged up and hit the tree roots, causing wood chips to fly all over the tough roots.
If she hadn't dodged in time, this blow would have hurt Zoe even through her excellent armor, or at least left her with bruises.
Not only was Zoe targeted, but at the same time, water jets also sprayed out from under the other three people.
Andasu swung her hand back, her fist blade hooked, and her arms and legs exerted force together, moving her to another branch.
When Dorothy saw the Cursed Scale Fish, she surrounded herself with the flourishing branches of the Magic Flower, turning it into a birdcage for defense. The moment she heard the slightest movement, she had no time to react to where the attack came from, so she used the flower vines to surround herself into a vine ball.
The spray of water made the sepak takraw shake violently, but it couldn't hurt her.
However, Alulu was not as agile as Cat Wolf. She took a half step back, tilted her shield downward, and took the water jet head-on.
The water flow hit the earth-attribute shield, and its momentum was instantly relieved, turning into a less powerful splash of water.
However, the curse-scaled fish launched more than one attack. As it danced, columns of water kept bursting up from the water surface, and the girls dodged in response.
Leon was watching this scene from the sky. If he ignored the danger, it really looked like a dance, led by a beautiful fish monster, and the girls were the dancers on the stage.
But this scene is actually a hunting and killing attack launched by monsters.
The girls had already realized that the fish looked good just to attract their attention and attack.
Zoe bit her silver teeth and transformed into a holy snake.
The self-regulated earth and rock shield spread out around her. She channeled the light of the star soul to strengthen it, and instantly condensed multiple layers of earth and rock shields around her.
Since you are standing on the tree roots with your lower body suspended above the water surface, the shield can mainly gather below to block the water column.
Having figured out the monster's attack pattern, she is not afraid at all with her strength.
Zoe threw up the Sword of Breath of Wind, the blade of which was already covered with the power of the earth element. She punched forward, and the magic power hit the end of the hilt, turning the entire sword into a cannonball and shooting out.
The leaping big fish immediately twisted its body, and the khaki impact brushed past it, knocking off a piece of its scale.
The fish eye with flowing light turned and saw Zoe.
It landed on a downward-bent tree root, and after sliding down, it jumped up again. This time, it leaped towards Zoe, who looked like a holy snake and looked like a holy princess.
⑤ He used the snake's tail as a helper, estimated where it would fall, and jumped onto a nearby tree root.
The cursed-scale fish landed on where she had been standing, shaking some tree roots. At the same time, its body spun, and a huge fish tail swept across at her, carrying the power of the water flow.
Zoe instantly formed an earth and rock shield, and the water attack collapsed, but some of the brute force of the fish tail was transferred to her, causing her to take two steps back.
The curse-scaled fish rolled over and tried to re-enter the water, but instead fell onto a golden sand net.
Dorothy holds the Tower of Golden Sand, which is the golden sand mist she releases.
The Cursed Scaled Fish knew it was bound, and its scales glowed. A huge amount of water suddenly gushed out from its body, causing the water on the lake to churn, breaking through the golden sand mist, and even turning into heavy waves that hit the three people standing on the tree roots.
Andasu threw out a hook and hooked it onto the magic flower vine that was holding up Dorothy, causing herself to swing into the air. Zoe instantly switched to a fairy posture and flew up. Only Alulu held up her shield to block the impact of the water waves.
Dorothy glanced at Andasu. Now was not the time to complain. Her Branch of Prosperity was very powerful, and it would be no problem to rely on one more person.
However, she still summoned more branches to stabilize them, to prevent herself and the white wolf from being washed into the lake by the waves.
In mid-air, she wrapped the Arcane Wand with the Star Crystal Branch and the Dragon Branch around the Dragon Sealing Staff. The two spell attacks were launched at the same time. Arcane missiles with blue and purple light fell in groups, and one of them was a red dragon lightning that came from behind but arrived first.
Magic attacks fell on the cursed fish one after another, but most of them were blocked by a diamond-shaped armor made of energy, and only a small part hit some of its scales, causing them to be dimmed.
"Isn't this too outrageous? Whether it's the water flow or the defense at that moment." Dorothy exclaimed in the sky.
From her understanding, these spells should have ripped the fish's scales and flesh apart, but in reality, they only did minimal damage. Furthermore, the instantaneous water attack launched by the fish was terrifyingly powerful.
If most people weren't wearing earth-attribute equipment, it would be really difficult to defeat it.
"The Curse Scale Fish is called this because when it is not fighting, it stores spells in its scales. These scales require nutrients and magic power to nourish. The more curse scales it grows, the stronger the fish will be. And in an environment like Mengze Island, the Curse Scale Fish here must be extremely powerful." Li Ang said while floating in the sky.
"You can talk later."
"If you don't experience it yourself, how will you remember its power? There will be similar monsters in other environments in the future, so remember them well."
In order to train the members to grow, Li Ang was very hard-hearted at this time.
After the Cursed Scale Fish cast spells continuously, the magic power in its scales decreased a lot, and it looked not as beautiful as before.
However, its tail, dorsal fin, and twin fins still glowed, indicating that there were still powerful spells stored within them.
It kept leaping and shooting stored water bullets at everyone.
The water bombs actually come in different forms, some are large-scale bombardments, some are small combos, and the indiscriminate bombardment will even destroy the roots of the trees where they are standing. The girls screamed and dodged to defend themselves.
Zoe raised her hands high and condensed a row of rock and earth shuttles in the air.
She didn't make large shuttles, but rather small and medium-sized ones, filling them with quantity.
The cursed fish could feel the threat from these earth spinners. It swam again, used the tree roots to jump into the air, flipped its body, and slashed at Zoe with its dorsal fin in the air. A water blade suddenly formed in the air.
The sharp shape of this water blade is so powerful that one can sense its power just by sight, not to mention the magical power surging within it.
Alulu immediately jumped up to the middle, and her shield, shining with the light of divine power, hit the water blade, blocking the move that was aimed at Zoe.
Xiao Niu's brute strength allowed the shield to perfectly block the attack, but she was unable to gain leverage in the air, and when she landed on the tree roots, she almost lost her balance and fell into the water.
When fighting a monster that lives in a watery environment, falling into the water would definitely be fatal.
The cursed fish kept leaping and releasing water blades. The second water blade was weakened by Andasu's continuous shooting with the shotgun, and it and a earth shuttle fired by Zoe destroyed each other.
Zoe gathered the shuttle and fired continuously to capture the leaping trajectory of the big fish.
However, this was its home ground, and only a few of them hit it, causing its scales to break and bleeding, but it was still far from being killed.
"We can't let it come and go so freely," said Andasu.
"Is your scent working?" Zoe asked.
"It has spread, but it moves back and forth very quickly. It breathes differently than we do, so it may take a while for it to take effect."
"I can't catch it either!" cried Dorothy angrily.
Dorothy had tried to weave vines to entangle the Cursescale, but the vines were not fast enough to keep up with the fish's leaps, and as it gained distance the vines were out of reach.
So, she continued to release the branches of prosperity and once again tried to construct the large flower beast that she had used when fighting the white spider wasp.
The flower beast's claws are made of vines, allowing it to stand steadily on the roots of the precious trees in the island's heart lake and cross complex terrain.
However, although this posture has both power and lethality, it cannot catch up with this slippery fish.
"Maybe I have a way." Alulu said suddenly.
She was covered in sweat and steam was rising from her body. Although her pink hair was braided, many of the loose strands stuck to her face, making her pink and red face even more adorable.
But Xiao Niu was not in a good mood at the moment. This environment made it difficult for her to perform. Her little head tilted forward slightly, and her pair of short horns seemed to want to stab the enemy but she had no strength to use.
She stared at the tree roots and said to the other three, "Stand still. I'll go destroy the tree roots it jumped from."
Before the three of them realized what she meant, Alulu had already stuck her shield into the roots of a nearby tree and rushed out with only the blood-burning giant sword in hand.
She was incredibly strong, and the giant shield cut through the tough tree roots and became fixed inside.
"Drink!"
There was still a slight babyish sound in the girl's voice, but her shouting already had the aura of a powerful warrior.
With the full force of her legs, she was able to propel her entire body forward like a cannonball.
Her target was not the Curse-Scale Fish. She could not catch up with this monster by brute force. Instead, she would be killed by it while running and casting spells.
When Li Ang played games in his previous life, he hated monsters designed like this the most.
However, Alulu obviously did not act with the intention of attacking the fish. She swung her sword below, and wherever her body passed, all the downward-bending tree roots were cut off by the sword.
"That's right! This way it won't have a landing spot! Good job, Lulu!" Zoe shouted.
With the tree roots destroyed, the Curse-Scaled Fish had no leverage. It was just a fish and could not move on the ground. Its previous actions were purely due to the environment.
Xiao Niu cut off several roots, and she chose those that bent downward, which prevented the Curse-Scaled Fish from flying into the air. If it used the raised roots, it could only enter the water.
Stirring up waves also consumes its magic power, and in places with many tree roots, the power of the waves is not very effective and the cost-effectiveness is very low.
After the Curse-Scaled Fish noticed Alulu's actions, it simply landed on a tree root in the distance. It did not cast any spells while leaping between the lake and the tree roots, as if it was observing everyone.
"It can't attack us anymore, but we can't get close to it either," said Andasu.
The cursed fish jumped twice, and then realized that it could not catch the girls, so it began to change direction while jumping.
"Is he going to get away?" said Dorothy, looking at the fish.
"No! We can't let it escape!"
Zoe was attacked continuously by the cursed fish's spells and was already furious.
She controlled the strong wind like a goddess and instantly flew in front of the fish to block its path.
The curse-scaled fish ignored the girl and prepared to escape into the water.
Zoe fell rapidly, transformed into an ice wolf, and transformed the light of the star soul into full force, freezing the water surface where the big fish wanted to fall.
The cursed fish fell onto the ice surface, and the girl continued to cast spells with greater force, and the area of the water surface that froze became wider and wider.
The curse-scaled fish flapped its fins, causing waves to recoil and push it back between the tree roots.
After changing its location, there are still tree roots here for it to gain leverage.
"It will only be effective if we limit its range of movement and cut off its branches!"
Andasu pointed in a direction, and Dorothy immediately controlled the flower beast to pass through the tree roots. While Zoe was attacking with magic and swordsmanship, she used her huge body to block the monster's way.
With the water surface frozen and the monster beast blocking the way, the Curse Scale Fish was cut off and could no longer dodge for a while.
Alulu swung her sword quickly, destroying the tree roots that the fish used for jumping. Soon, the fish was like falling into a dry puddle, unable to move between the complex tree roots and the ice.
Its last bit of brute force also disappeared in the paralyzing aroma of Andasu.
Zoe tossed the sword in her hand, gathering the super-strong power of the earth element, ready to kill it as soon as possible.
"Be careful, the more complete the fish head is, the better the equipment will be." Li Ang reminded from the sky.
