Chapter 544: Monster in the Lake

“I’m dying… I couldn’t even sense any trace of its existence beforehand.”

Gervis's little heart was beating rapidly, and the oxygen in his lungs was being consumed even faster.

He really wanted to turn around and leave, but the question was, could he swim better than this unknown aquatic creature?

The problem is obvious, it's absolutely impossible.

The distance between the eyes of this creature is more than half a meter, so you can imagine its size. So Gervis knew clearly that he couldn't leave his back to this guy, otherwise he would really die.

At this moment, this mysterious creature had not taken any action. Gervis began to look around with his peripheral vision, trying to find a way out or shelter.

However, after a round of inspection, he was extremely disappointed. The area around him was extremely flat and there was no place for him to hide. Instead, the place where this mysterious creature was located was a large cave, which looked like a corridor.

"The treasure should be in that cave, right? This is too ridiculous!"

Gervis cursed inwardly. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to go near the cave again.

"Oh my god! It moved!"

Perhaps it noticed that Gervis was hesitating, or perhaps this mysterious creature had lost its patience, Gervis clearly noticed that it moved.

Gervis was immediately frightened and quickly grasped the sword to protect himself, ready to launch his fighting spirit at any time.

At the same time, Gervis was already thinking about whether or not to take the black kiwi fruit that would enhance his strength.

roar!

At this moment, the creature in front finally lost its patience and stopped pretending.

As the roar was heard, the huge body twisted rapidly, rolling up a turbulent current and rushing towards Gervis.

Gervis only felt a huge black shadow pressing towards him in front of him, and he immediately gritted his teeth and exerted his fighting spirit to the extreme.

With the help of the little spiritual light brought about by the circulation of his fighting spirit, Gervis finally vaguely saw the appearance of the creature rushing towards him.

This is a strange fish that is completely black. Its skin is bumpy and looks really ugly. Its body is about five or six meters long, and its mouth full of sharp teeth is scary at a glance.

bite!

In just a moment, the strange fish rushed to Gervis and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, wanting to bite Gervis.

However, Gervis seized the opportunity and dodged to the side, while the mithril sword pierced the strange fish's eyes.

What shocked Gervis was that the defense of this strange fish was surprisingly strong.

Gervis's sword accurately pierced the fist-sized eye of the strange fish, but the problem was that instead of feeling the weapon entering the flesh, it felt like it was piercing a hard glass bead.

The shock instantly made Gervis' arm numb.

"Damn it, even the Mithril Long Sword can't do any damage to him, how can we fight him!"

No matter what kind of creature it is, no matter how powerful it is, the eyes are generally the most vulnerable part.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation like this ugly monster fish.

"No, we can't fight anymore! We can't beat him at all, his defense is too strong!"

Since the piercing mithril sword was useless, Gervis began to back down and prepare to find another way out.

He first looked above his head, then at the dark cave behind him.

"My illusion can only last for two or three seconds. It's probably impossible to swim out of this pit directly."

Gervis thought for a moment, and finally turned his gaze into the cave.

In addition to worrying about not having enough time to escape, his other plan was to take away his own treasure, which was worth 10 energy points.

Seeing that the strange fish in front was about to rush towards him again, Gervis made a decision immediately.

He immediately mobilized his mental power and cast an illusion on the strange fish. After releasing the illusion, Gervis did not hesitate, but turned around and swam quickly towards the cave that the strange fish had just been guarding.

What’s gratifying is that although this strange fish has stronger defenses, illusions are still effective against it.

After being hit by Gervis's illusion, the direction of the strange fish's attack immediately changed. It actually attacked rapidly upwards, attacking the rapidly floating human figure that did not exist at all.

This also gave Gervis a chance to escape for a moment. After just three or two leaps, Gervis rushed into the dark cave.

Originally, if the illusion had no effect on the strange fish, Gervis would have used his trump card, but it seemed that he could still hold on for now.

After entering the cave, Gervis discovered that there was indeed a deep passage inside. He immediately began to move forward quickly with the help of the faint spiritual light that emerged from his body.

The strange fish that had just been deceived by Gervis's illusion finally reacted at this time. There was no human in front of it. It pounced directly on the rock wall of the deep pit and bit the gravel hard.

Then the strange fish turned around angrily, its fist-sized eyeballs rolled around, and instantly sensed the sound of Gervis swimming quickly in the cave.

roar!

In an instant, this ugly monster fish became extremely violent, and dim blue spots began to appear on its originally dark surface.

Obviously, this strange fish did not use its full strength just now. It was just playing with Gervis, the prey, before eating because it was rare to see such a prey.

With a roar, the light-spotted strange fish increased its speed again and rushed towards the cave quickly.

At this time, Gervis also heard the angry roar and knew that the strange fish had escaped from the illusion. He dared not delay and immediately used all his strength to escape.

roar!

"Oh my god! Can it transform?"

But how could humans compete with fish in speed in the water? Just a few seconds later, Gervis saw a huge guy covered with yellow spots chasing him from behind.

It is said that human potential is unlimited. Seeing this strange fish chasing him with obvious seriousness, Gervis's speed of advancement indeed increased by half a point.

"Huh? No, it's not that I'm faster, it's that the water started flowing!"

The next moment, Gervis noticed the changes in the surrounding water flow and was immediately delighted!

"Underground river? Is there a bank around it?"

Gervis had indeed swam out of the cave passage, but because the surrounding environment was pitch black, the range he could observe was extremely limited, so he did not react until the moment the water flow appeared.

"There's light ahead!"

When Gervis was guessing, he suddenly discovered a faint white light coming from above not far away.

Seeing this, Gervis was overjoyed and began to move desperately towards the place where the white light was.

Crash!

Gervis, who was being chased by the strange fish, moved very agilely. When he came to the location where the light came from, he pushed hard under the water, and the whole person flew out of the water like an arrow and jumped onto a platform three or four meters away from the dark river.

"Phew! I almost lost my life!"

After reaching the shore, Gervis finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time it was really thrilling!

At this moment, the strange fish finally caught up with Gervis and stood on the shore, staring at him closely with its eyes emitting green light. It was obvious that it hated this human who had plotted against it.
