The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 90 Blue Lotus

"Wait, how come we've come all this way back to this Spirit Lake?"

One player asked a question, looking somewhat nervous.

The shadow of being instantly killed by the White Snake was still lingering in the players' minds, and now that they had entered this place again just a few days later, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

Feilong Zaitian was the first to step forward and calm everyone down.

He immediately turned his gaze behind him, intending to return the way he came.

The surrounding dense forest was deep and quiet, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Just as Feilong Zaitian led everyone around that corner, dozens of hornets that had just been chasing them suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Damn it, I only took 10 of your beehives, why are you holding such a grudge!"

"One player exclaimed."

His expression was one of utter surprise, as if he hadn't expected the hornets to be so relentlessly pursuing him.

At the same time, Feilong Zaitian did not hesitate and quickly retreated, trying to create distance.

However, the hornets were extremely fast and caught up in a short sprint.

Flying Dragon trembled in fear; the tiger-headed hornets were too fast and would catch up with them soon.

Swoosh—!

The sound of the poisonous stinger piercing the air came as it went straight for the back of the dragon's neck.

At the critical moment, he quickly summoned a talisman, which burned in the air and quickly transformed into a golden shield, barely managing to block the attack.

"That was close, but we still lost a Golden Shield Talisman."

Feilong Zaitian felt a pang of regret; this talisman, as a life-saving artifact, was quite expensive.

One of these costs nearly 10 sect contribution points, which is equivalent to the price of a low-level monster.

The hornets continued their relentless pursuit, putting immense pressure on the fleeing players.

But just as everyone was passing the corner, the entire swarm of bees seemed to sense some terrifying aura and stopped instantly, not daring to take another step forward.

"What's going on?" one player wondered, somewhat confused.

Flying Dragon quickly realized that this was probably the deterrent effect of territory.

In this sacred lake, the white snake can intimidate other demonic beasts with a certain aura, preventing them from venturing in.

The group waited quietly by the lake, not daring to venture further in.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.

Flying Dragon in the Sky thought that Tiger Bee might have already left, so he led the players back along the original route.

But they hadn't walked far when the swarm of hornets reappeared in their sight.

However, because the players were prepared, there were no major losses this time.

"No way, are these swarms of hornets trying to trap us here?"

One player was the first to raise a question, expressing some concern.

They're in a real predicament now, caught between a rock and a hard place.

The group quickly returned to the shore of the Spirit Lake, gazing at its calm surface in silence.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost frightening.

Feilong pondered a solution in the sky, but there was a very strange point of contention in the current situation.

Last time they approached the Spirit Lake, they were quickly spotted by the white snake, who barely had time to react.

If the white snake was discovered because of their exclamations, then that wouldn't be surprising.

But the collisions and chases they made with the swarm of bees had already created quite a bit of noise.

Why hasn't the White Snake appeared yet?

In addition, a few days ago, Yi Tian seemed to have given a reminder on the forum, saying that the strength of this monster was at least at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Their perception should be very sharp, how could they not notice it?

Therefore, the current situation likely has only one reason.

That is--

For some reason, the white snake temporarily left its territory.

"I'm truly a genius!"

Feilong was secretly delighted.

It seems he can also try to be a strategy player, just like the Crouching Tiger master.

He quickly shared this clue with everyone.

After careful consideration, the players realized that only this explanation could describe the current situation.

"The matter is already quite clear; let's find a way out first."

After sorting out his thoughts, Feilong Zaitian made a suggestion to the players.

The group nodded in agreement.

Time was of the essence, and the group immediately set to work.

Flying Dragon in the Sky led the players towards the direction of Spirit Lake.

Based on previous calculations, the closer one gets to the lake, the lower the potential danger.

After all, the lake still retains the aura of the white snake, which has a deterrent effect on many demonic beasts.

that's it.

The players arrived at the lakeside, preparing to circle around to the other side and walk back in the direction they had come from last time.

But at the crucial moment, an unexpected change occurred!

A violent tremor suddenly came from behind Feilong Zaitian and the others.

Immediately following were the sounds of trees snapping, the cries of birds, and the frantic buzzing of swarms of hornets, one after another, incessantly.

It seemed as if some terrifying, colossal creature was rapidly moving toward them, disregarding everything else.

And at this moment.

The image of the white snake appeared in everyone's minds, becoming incredibly clear.

"We definitely can't escape now. Let's jump down first; maybe we can survive for a while longer."

After saying that, Feilong Zaitian took the lead and leaped into the water.

"Never mind, I'm just throwing my life away, I'll do it anyway."

The four players then jumped down, splashing water everywhere, and disappeared without a trace.

But before Flying Dragon could dive for long, a white snow leopard suddenly emerged from the water.

That's right, it's a snow leopard.

Its eyes were cold, yet there seemed to be a hint of resentment in their depths.

The snow leopard merely glanced at Feilong Zaitian and the others before immediately bursting out of the water, intending to escape.

But just then, the White Snake arrived.

"Hiss..."

Although the crowd could not see the white snake, they could hear the terrifying sound of it flicking its tongue.

"Run quickly, use the talisman, and swim into the lake."

"Flying Dragon in the Sky" reminded him.

Without further hesitation, the players immediately applied speed charms and swam frantically towards the center of the lake.

Although they didn't know if they could survive if they swam towards the center.

But they knew that if they stopped there, death was inevitable.

At the edge of the spirit lake, the white snake, using the force of the water, began to fight the snow leopard.

It is obviously not as fast as a snow leopard, but by using water to interfere, it can barely slow down the opponent's movement.

"Aww—"

The snow leopard hissed in frustration.

It tried to run, but its limbs were constantly bound by the water flow, and it could not break free.

A shadowy glint flashed in the white snake's eyes.

Without further hesitation, it bared its icy teeth and lunged directly at the snow leopard.

the other side.

The players were getting closer and closer to the center of the lake, but the intense running and nerve-wracking hours had left them physically and mentally exhausted.

Feilong Zaitian gritted his teeth and surfaced, panting heavily, saying, "Hold on, those two bosses are still fighting. We should have a chance to escape once we swim to the other side."

Inspired by Flying Dragon in the Sky, the players' fighting spirit was rekindled. After applying two Swiftness Charms, their swimming speed increased significantly.

As the group swam towards the center, the unusual blue lotus caught their attention.

From afar, the blue lotus petals are as blue as ice, layer upon layer, with the heart of the lotus shimmering with a cool silver light.

Beneath the lotus platform, roots, like silk threads, entwine with tiny fragments of spiritual jade.

Even more miraculously, as the group approached the blue lotus, they felt the surrounding water temperature drop considerably.

"Brother Feilong, this blue lotus looks like a good thing. Why don't we take it back to the sect? Maybe we can get a lot of contribution points in return."

One player suggested.

Soon, another player chimed in, "Yeah, we shouldn't let good stuff go to outsiders. How can we leave such a good thing to that white snake?"

Feilong nodded and immediately swam towards Lanlian.

He drew closer to Lanlian, the surroundings growing increasingly cold.

The chilling air was penetrating, seeping into the dragon's very marrow.

"This chill is really refreshing!"

Feilong's face was tense, but his speed kept increasing.

Finally, the blue lotus was within reach.

Just then, the snow leopard in the distance suddenly let out a painful howl.

Presumably, the White Snake's battle will end soon.

Feilong took a deep breath, quickly took out a medicine box from his pocket, and placed the blooming blue lotus inside.

"Hurry up!"

"Flying Dragon shouted."

Several players swam forward recklessly.

Time passed by, second by second.

After what seemed like an eternity, the group finally managed to drag their soaking wet bodies ashore.

Feilong looked back at the opposite bank from the sky. The snow leopard was already completely red and lay on the ground, unable to get up.

They must be dead beyond dead.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the white snake, only to find that the snake had just turned its head.

In an instant, the man and the snake locked eyes, gazing at each other across the lake.

The white snake looked surprised and shifted its gaze to the center of the lake on the other side.

The place was empty; the original blue lotus had long since disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, it looked up and let out a furious roar.

The blue lotus that it had painstakingly protected day and night for so long was still stolen by someone else.

Then it took off and flew straight towards the crowd.

"Split up and run!"

Feilong Zaitian made the decision in an instant.

However, before running away, he secretly left the players with a real strategy.

The group split into five groups and fled in all directions.

The flying dragon looked back from the sky and saw that the white snake's body was getting bigger and bigger.

"Even though it's separated by a lake, it can still catch up with us, right?"
