Tu Xiaoxiantong is incredibly capable. How did she lose to Luo Haiqing before? Was it also thanks to her cooking?

Let's ignore that for now.

"Over there, charge! Let's rescue the dragon cub together!" Zhao Xi pointed to the two mountain peaks that were descending along the tracks, recited the incantation for the Shrinking Earth Talisman, and moved over first.

A large tree rushed off in that direction.

Dust flew everywhere.

The lower half of the little earth fairy suddenly turned into the trunk of a tree. As the tree grew taller, it shot up into the air like an elevator, looking down at the principals fighting.

Unable to leave the territory of the animal park, she could only stand there and cheer on the park manager.

...

at the same time.

The witch, holding Hoshino who she had knocked unconscious, exhausted her magic once again and landed on the mountaintop.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and her chest heaved.

In just a few breaths, all the vital energy of the plants and trees within a foot around him was absorbed, causing them to wither completely, while the iron sword in his hand regained its sinister aura.

She was ready to take to the sky and escape again.

But the next second, her sweat suddenly condensed into sharp water swords, cutting several gashes on her face.

The witch turned around in terror.

As expected, the water god has caught up with us!

Lin Che landed on a nearby cliff, water vapor hovering around him, forming water-spirit swords. The pearl-encrusted magical artifact in his white robe emitted a ghostly purple light, resonating with everything around him that possessed water-spirit energy.

Dark clouds rolled in from all sides, gathering towards the sky above.

The air became thicker and more condensed, making it feel as humid as a humid day in the south, making it hard to breathe.

The water goddess's tall figure was completely hidden within her white robes and wide sleeves. With a gentle wave of her hand, several water spirit swords materialized out of thin air and pierced straight towards the witch.

"If you dare hurt me again, I'll strangle him!!" the witch shouted, taking a few steps back in shock. She hurriedly dispersed some of her demonic energy to block the surroundings, then held the unconscious Hoshino in front of her and grabbed his neck.

Stalemate.

The two sides were about 10 feet apart, and neither of them moved.

The wind above the cliff swirled and danced with fallen leaves, the clouds swirled into eddies, and a chilling and desolate atmosphere spread.

A dark blue veil concealed Lin Che's face, making it impossible to discern his expression, but his voice held a raging fury: "Don't fight like a cornered beast! Let him go, and I'll spare your life!"

"Ha, spare my life?" The witch smiled seductively. "Your essence is corrupted, and you can only use less than one percent of your spiritual power. You still refuse to let others absorb your demonic energy. You're just asking for trouble. This black water dragon is in my hands. Do you think I'd be afraid of you? If you dare to push me any further, you can prepare to mourn for the last black water dragon royal family!"

After a long silence.

Lin Che finally compromised.

The water sword suspended in mid-air eventually turned into a dense, continuous rain, which gently and silently fell to the ground.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sunlight shone down, and the mist reflected a rainbow.

He couldn't take the risk. Hoshino was the only remaining member of the Blackwater Dragon royal family, and also his personally trained disciple whom he had nurtured for many years. The demons were so ruthless; they might really kill him to his face.

But he absolutely could not stand by and watch Hoshino fall into the hands of the demons.

He lightly brushed off his white robes and wide sleeves, clenched a drop of water in his palm, made a fist, and quietly began to chant the Water Prison spell, saying, "Then how about we make a deal? You take his blood now and give it back to me."

The demons need time to recover their demonic energy, and he also needs time to build up his strength.

He needs to risk becoming possessed by a demon to weave a water prison, cover Hoshino, and then pull him to his side.

The source may be contaminated, but we can't worry about that now.

His words did indeed move the witch.

The witch was indeed deep in thought, wondering whether it would be safer to join forces with him or to keep the black water dragon cub for herself.

The more blood of the Blackwater Dragon, the better.

Before she could answer, a strange sound came from the distant mountains.

A group of things collectively crossed the mountain and are heading this way.

Dust billowed in the distance, and the rocks trembled.

The next second.

Turning his head, he sensed that the water god in the distance was suddenly struck by something covered in mud.

"Hmm..."

He staggered back a few steps, and the spell he had been building up abruptly ended.

The spiritual energy dissipated into the air, turning into a rising celestial mist.

"puff--"

He clutched his chest, unable to suppress the surging blood and qi within him, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The mortal woman who had suddenly appeared turned around in confusion, looking Lin Che up and down a few times: "What are you doing? Trying to scam me?"

Lin Chezhen coughed up blood: "..."

Zhao Xi decided to let him go for the time being. She turned around, raised her cleaver to face the witch, and howled, "Let him go!"

She finally caught up with Hoshino.

She had been using the Earth God's Shrinking Earth Teleportation frequently along the way, and it seemed like she was constantly bumping into things and getting scraped. Her whole body was covered in mud, and her skin was cut by sharp stones through her clothes, with blood still wet from the wounds.

She was in pain from head to toe, but it didn't matter.

At this moment, she had already caught up with Hoshino.

We must snatch him back from that strange woman's arms.

"Who are you?" The black-clad witch, seeing another stranger arrive, tightened her grip on Hoshino's neck, black demonic energy swirling around her to ward off any potential magical attacks.

However, no matter how one observed, this mortal woman, whose clothes were covered in mud, showed no signs of spiritual energy and was clearly not a cultivator.

But the trees behind her were under a puppet spell.

"You've fallen to demonic possession too?!" The witch, fearing this mortal woman might be more powerful than her, tempted her, "How about we each take half of this Black Water Dragon?"

Zhao Xi thought, "You're the one who's gone mad, not the other way around!"
