Han Fei jumped into the spring hole and then shuddered. He felt that he was going to freeze.
Han Fei immediately made spiritual energy circulate within his body, repelling the chill.
Was it the seabed under this spring? Han Fei wasn’t sure if it was the seabed because he couldn’t even see a shell but a blur of blue and white.
In the icy water, it was either blue or white and Han Fei didn’t know which way was which.
With a flash between Han Fei’s eyebrows, Little Black and Little White appeared.
“My baby girl, find where Tang Ge is.”
Xiaobai touched Han Fei’s cheek affectionately and swam out with a swish. Little White was already level-38 and looked much prettier. Its long tail and fins were like fluttering ribbons. What a beautiful dainty fish.
Little Black became even cooler. Making sure there were no enemies around, he didn’t bother to move.
Han Fei swam ahead quickly only to find that the space under the spring was bigger than he could have imagined. Swimming as fast as he could, he suddenly found a large number of ice cubes appearing in the water.
Huh? Why are there ice cubes popping up here?
Besides, the water was unreasonably cold. It was not coldness in temperature, but cold to the soul.
Swish!
Suddenly, beside Han Fei, Little Black burst out like a sharp arrow, drawing a shadow in the water, and Little White in front suddenly ran back like a phantom.
In the bottom of the water, a black shadow with a long tail suddenly appeared, seeming to try to strike Little White. However, the black shadow didn’t seem to expect Little White to be so fast. It didn’t hurt Little White, but angered Little Black.
Han Fei also rushed forward. How dare you hurt my baby girl?!
However, to his surprise, the black shadow swam quickly away into the distance almost at the same speed as his.
“A Half-Mermaid? Did it try to snipe me?”
Han Fei shook his head. No, he must’ve come to harass me.
Immediately, Han Fei said to Xiaobai, “My girl, don’t be afraid. Let’s ignore it and continue to swim forward.”
Little Black chased that black figure, but when he found the opponent was running too far, he didn’t bother to chase it and ran back with a swish.
This time, Han Fei let Xiaobai swim in front of him. He wanted to see how come that Half-Mermaid had the guts to stop him.
However, as he swam, he found more and more Half-Mermaids appear. Then he saw another Half-Mermaid rush at him.
This was not the Half-Mermaid that had just escaped, nor the Half-Mermaid who entered the secret realm with them, but a soul, a soul similar to those in the Undersea City.
In Han Fei’s eyes, information emerged:
<Name> Half-Mermaid Soul
<Introduction> The belief of a strong master that still exists after the strong master’s death to defend something valuable. Whenever there are intruders, it will come out and fight.
<Level> 43
<Quality> Undead Creature
<Contained Spiritual Energy> 3,996 points
<Collectible> Undead Qi
<Unabsorbable>
“Why is it a Half-Mermaid?”
“Attach.”
Little Gold and Nine tails attached to him at the same time.
Han Fei had activated the Million Knife Art and tens of thousands of knives swept away. That was because he found a large number of Half-Mermaid souls rushing at him.
“Puff… Puff… Puff…”
As only level-43 creatures, these Half-Mermaid souls were immediately crushed by the rain of knives.
But Han Fei wondered, Why had so many Half-Mermaids died here? And what are the souls trying to defend?
The souls in the Undersea City were defending their city. The people in the city were exterminated, so the souls were produced.
But what about these Half-Mermaids’ souls? Did these Half-Mermaids die in large numbers in order to protect something?
But this Snow God’s Temple belonged to humans. Why weren’t there any human souls?
Han Fei was full of curiosity. But after a while, he found that the depth of the bottom was gradually becoming shallower.
“Is there land?”
After a while, when Han Fei rose out of the water, he was shocked.
What caught his eyes was a huge old tree as high as about a thousand meters and with luxuriant foliage.
However, the tree was obviously dead, and all its branches and leaves seemed to be frozen, covered with a layer of snow. The scenery was really beautiful.
But Han Fei was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. After retracting all his beasts, Han Fei looked around and found that this was still a room, a room bigger than he imagined.
And there was an island covered with ice and snow. This big tree was the only eye-catching thing on this small island.
BAM!
A loud noise came from the other side of the giant tree. Who would fight here besides Tang Ge and those Half-Mermaids?
Han Fei ran under the tree and found ice crystals falling down from the tree.
“Who is up there?”
Han Fei didn’t have time to think about it. He directly rushed to the other side of the tree.
Then he saw that a Half-Mermaid had been nailed to the tree, his chest and abdomen badly mutilated.
And a Half-Mermaid in a golden battle suit was sitting on the ground, steeped in spiritual energy, and seemed to be healing himself.
Another three Half-Mermaids were confronting Tang Ge. All four of them were injured. Tang Ge’s entire right arm was dripping with blood, and his battle suit had been shattered.
Among them, the mermaid that fought Han Fei just now looked panicked upon seeing Han Fei and said something to his companions anxiously.
Upon seeing Han Fei, Tang Ge smiled, and he thought, This battle has been won.
Han Fei chuckled, stepped out, and activated the Majestic Mystic Spell and the Ten Thousand Knives in One. Then like flowers in a storm, countless daggers danced in the air.
“Are you alright?”
Tang Ge gasped. “I’m fine. If it weren’t for the bastard, Xu Mo, I would have killed these fishes.”
The Half-Mermaid who was sitting cross-legged suddenly bounced up. Without any intention to fight Tang Ge or Han Fei, he ran away.
The remaining two Half-Mermaids seemed to have accepted their fate, one pounced on Tang Ge, and the other blocked Han Fei.
However, Han Fei just ignored the Half-Mermaid blocking him as he let the knives fight him. Then, he clenched his fist, and the surging energy burst out of his body instantly.
The Half-Mermaid was about to get away when the Sacrificing Punch suddenly broke out and appeared more than 800 meters away.
“Ah!”
The Half-Mermaid tried to block the punch with his golden harpoon; however, the punch was so powerful that although it was weakened a bit, it still hit the Half-Mermaid’s body.
The moment an amulet appeared, it was shattered. Although the mermaid’s battle suit protected its body from being broken, it still spurted a mouthful of blood.
However, under Han Fei’s astonished gaze, the Half-Mermaid who was already drenched in blood struggled to jump into the water and disappeared.
“Puff!”
The Half-Mermaid in front of Tang Ge was nailed to death.
“Puff… Puff… Puff…”
Not surprisingly, the other remaining Half-Mermaid was strangled to death in a minute.
Han Fei didn’t chase the other. He swallowed some Candle Dragon Blood, and quickly strode to Tang Ge, showering him with the Divine Healing Technique. “How do you feel? Are you OK?”
Tang Ge shook his head. “OK, but my right hand was seriously injured. Even if it recovers, I am afraid that it’ll only work 70% of its normal function.”
Han Fei took out a bunch of spiritual fruits, put two into his mouth, and handed the others to Tang Ge. “Don’t worry. I’ll help you heal. This time, the sea monsters suffered a big loss. If I’ve counted right, plus the one that ran away, there are at most 7 of them left.”
Tang Ge was stunned. “What about the others?”
“Dead! If they hadn’t hidden a Heavenly Talent on their team, they would have been completely annihilated. Besides, Meng Guiyi is not a fool. He certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity! So, we humans must have taken the upper hand.”
As he said, Han Fei suddenly asked, “Where is Xu Mo? Killed?”
Tang Ge looked up at the tree. “He went up but seemed to be in trouble. Just now, a strange power erupted on the tree. Since then, I haven’t heard any sound from him.”
Han Fei frowned. “Is he up there?”
Tang Ge nodded. “Yes, but Xu Mo can’t be human.”
Han Fei had long guessed that Xu Mo was another fish disguised as a human and lurked among humans. However, with him and Tang Ge under the tree, Xu Mo wouldn’t have any way to escape unless he stayed in the tree forever.
Han Fei smiled. “No rush. He won’t be able to run away. Treat your wounds first and then let’s go up to get him.”
