While the girl was talking, I also told Lei Jijian to watch carefully and look for an opportunity at any time.

Lei Jijian's tone was very heavy, telling me that this was no simple matter.

"What, there's a time when you're a coward?"

I spoke softly, and to be honest, when we first entered the deep sea, the intense dark atmosphere made us a little hesitant.

Back then, whenever he felt even a little scared, he would immediately crouch down and stay still.

He didn't even have the strength to mobilize his own energy, so I called out to him.

He didn't speak; he remained silent.

However, since reaching shallower layers and even further, the lightning sword has never experienced this situation again.

Perhaps because I kept provoking him with my words, I felt that Lei Jijian had become even more valiant.

That's why I've always had a bit of respect for lightning swords.

Although he can be a bit carefree at times, he's a key player most of the time.

The girl's words at this moment made the guy pause in surprise again.

But just a few seconds later, the monster gripped tightly again and slammed down on us!

Even though it was far away, I could already feel the wind from a huge fist!

Holy crap!

"Go on!"

The girl understood and continued speaking, trying to persuade the ancient man.

Although her voice was still trembling slightly, it was becoming increasingly clear.

"Are you being controlled by something...?"

We have sea marrow in our bodies!

Have you ever heard of sea marrow?

At this moment, the ancient man was stunned again, but this time for even shorter periods, only a few seconds, and his muscles had unknowingly shrunk by half a size.

Originally over two meters tall, it now appears to be only about two meters tall.

Okay, if you keep going like this, I think the girl could even lead him back to that mural!

Looking at the monster, I noticed that his shoulders were no longer as broad, and he appeared to be in great pain.

And in his eyes, the mist in the center of his eye socket would occasionally dissipate in an instant.

It seems that this little bit of energy, repeatedly inhaled and used to relax, has made this strange person quite uncomfortable.

I noticed that although his eyes were lifeless, his expression was clearly ferocious, slowly turning into one of pain!

And the movements weren't so stiff...

The next second, the mist in his eyes quickly gathered again, and the sound in his throat rang out in the same way, clearly indicating that he was resisting!

"Oh no, he's slowly adapting!"

If he gets completely used to this situation, he won't be able to stop at all, and it will turn into complete rage.

My heart sank, and I quickly told the girl that the few times I had been stunned, sometimes for about five seconds, sometimes for only two or three seconds, and this time it was only about one second.

If we keep waiting like this, I estimate that this method will become ineffective, and then we will really be out of options!

"Lightning Strike Sword!"

"Get ready to gouge out his eyes the next time he's distracted!"

At that moment, the lightning sword immediately stopped above the ancient man's shoe, as if it understood what I meant.

The electric arcs on his body were almost bursting outwards, giving the impression that he was poised to unleash his power, as if he was just waiting for an opportunity.

Yiyi continued swimming with this guy, talking about everything from the blue armor to the contract, then to our purpose in coming, and about the hidden energy.

She spoke faster and faster, as if afraid that if he didn't hear her, he would start attacking. I, on the other hand, kept a close eye on him, scrutinizing every detail, looking for any real progress.

Sure enough, every time Yiyi spoke, the ancient man paused for a moment.

Although it only lasted a fraction of a second, the mist in his eye sockets dissipated very quickly, and the layer of defense on his chest seemed to have faded as well!

"Walk!"

I shouted, and Lei Jijian immediately understood, slamming down the already charged electric arc, aiming straight for the ancient man's eyes and buttocks.

Without hesitation, I rushed forward, and the dragon scales on my left hand instantly swelled up, striking the ancient man squarely in the chest!

With a muffled bang, the shell on the man's chest exploded instantly, and a stream of pale green pus flowed from his eyes, which was extremely disgusting.

It was like blood of a different color, extremely sticky.

He took a step back and crashed heavily into the stone platform. His body then shrank considerably, becoming almost as tall as us.

It was with that loud bang that the entire front of the house shook, and the mud bricks that he had just pulled open from the ceiling fell all over him.

The girl and I quickly stepped back, keeping a close eye on the ancient man's reaction.

He was clutching his chest in great pain, and a gurgling sound could be heard from his throat, mixed with a few painful groans.

His skin was still that bluish-gray texture with a hint of yellow, but I noticed that the clothes he was wearing seemed to be slowly growing back.

"It worked!"

The girl exclaimed in surprise.

"This guy's muscles are slowly getting smaller!"

But before we could breathe a sigh of relief, the monster suddenly raised its head. The mist in its eye sockets had thinned, but it seemed even more menacing.

After forcefully charging his fist, I thought he was going to attack me again, and I even mentally prepared my lightning sword.

The next second, this crazed guy fell down unwillingly!

Holy crap!

What does this mean...?

The girl and I stepped forward and stared intently at the guy, who was lying on the ground groaning in pain, accompanied by a few roars.

He looked somewhat unwilling, as if he was venting his anger from earlier.

I don't understand why you're so angry here, when you were the one attacking us!

Now you know what's truly great, where were you all this time!

However, there are still some things I don't understand. That is, why does this monster completely ignore me when I talk to him, but he is immediately frozen in place as soon as the girl speaks?

I briefly discussed this idea with the girl.

"Brother, I'm not quite sure about this either..."

Do you think it could be because I'm at the manor?

At this moment, the girl's tone was somewhat uncertain, but there was also a hint of smugness in her eyes.

I know very well that this wasn't just her normal analysis of me; it also carried a hint of defiance.

This guy just collapsed so easily, but what happened to the mural he came out of?

I looked back at the mural I had seen earlier.
