In the bone ring, Xiao Chen patted his frightened and confused spiritual roots, then looked at the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Brother Long, you performed very well today... Although you lost, you instantly became extremely great in my heart. It can be said that you still won honor in defeat."

Xiao Chen kept flattering him.

"I am seriously injured and need to sleep for a few days..."

The weak voice of the evil dragon spirit was heard from the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Okay, okay, just go ahead and heal your wounds. I'll wait a little longer... to see if there's a chance to escape. If not, just stay here for a few more days."

Although Xiao Chen felt that the Evil Dragon Spirit's injuries were not that serious, but... the other party had really fought hard just now, so he naturally couldn't say anything more.

After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he put down the Xuanyuan Sword, released his spiritual sense, and carefully sensed the situation outside.

Although they were two different spaces, he discovered that if he tried his best to release his spiritual sense, he could still feel something vaguely.

"That water monster... is still going crazy outside. I don't know how long it will go crazy, and I don't know how long this independent space can last."

Xiao Chen was a little worried. What if the independent space couldn't hold on and collapsed directly? Would the bone ring be affected?

Although the bone ring is a bug-like existence, he feels that it should also be in an independent space, but it just cannot be seen.

By some means that he couldn't understand, it existed... and then, he had another one in his hand.

If the independent space really collapsed, the bone ring would most likely be affected. Even if the bone ring space collapsed, he would be strangled by the space turbulence if he got out.

"By the way, will the blood key be useful?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of the blood key, stretched out his hand, and it fell into his palm.

The blood key can travel through different spaces, and this place is also considered a different space.

So, can the Blood Key ignore the illusion created by the water monster and leave this independent space?

"Why don't you go out and try now?"

As soon as Xiao Chen had this thought, he quickly suppressed it.

"Let's wait. The water monster is going crazy outside. If we go out, we will die..."

Xiao Chen held the blood spoon and felt a little more confident, then he took the jade pendant that Jiuwei gave him.

He decided that he would try to contact Nine-Tailed Fox once he left here.

No matter what, even if Kyuubi can't come, it's okay to chat remotely.

At least Jiuwei knows Tianjueyuan better than him, so let Jiuwei be a remote consultant.

As for why he didn't contact her now, it was because of his male pride. He didn't want Nine-Tailed Fox to know that he was in such a miserable situation.

Of course, if it was really a life-and-death crisis, he wouldn't care about all that, he would definitely contact Kyuubi to see if she could help him or something.

"Wait until it is quiet, then go out and try the blood key directly. As long as we run out of this independent space, the chance of escape will be greatly increased... By then, Brother Long will be able to recover a little, and if he can hold back the water monster for a while, I will be able to escape."

The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more excited he became, so he decided to do it.

After thinking of a plan to escape, he thought of Xiao Lin and others.

"Seventh Uncle and the others should have returned to Longhai by now, right? How is the matter with the plunderers going?"

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and muttered to himself.

"I don't know if Su Qing and the others would be worried if they knew I didn't go back... Alas, who would have thought that I would be trapped in this place by a water monster."

Xiao Chen smoked a cigarette and pondered over something. The thing he had the most right now was time.

Since there is no way to escape, I can only wait here and see if there is any chance.

At the very least, we have to wait until the dragon spirit recovers a little, and then try the blood key to see if we can get out.

"@%&..."

Although the Spirit Root of Heaven and Earth didn't know what Xiao Chen was talking about and couldn't communicate well, it was always by his side.

"Haha, don't think that you don't have to work overtime just because you stay here with me..."

Xiao Chen touched the head of Tiandi Linggen and joked.

"Don't worry, we won't be trapped here for long... There is no place in the world that can trap me!"

At the end, Xiao Chen's eyes became firm and resolute, he was determined to fight his way out!

After smoking a few cigarettes, Xiao Chen stopped daydreaming and began to practice and adjust his state.

He was also injured in the battle just now.

Time passes by every second...

The independent space outside also returned to peace. The water monster became quiet again and concealed its breath.

It was fighting with Xiao Chen and it had to kill this hateful human.

Just as it closed its eyes and was about to take a nap, the black tentacles around its body suddenly began to sway gently.

Especially some black tentacles that were cut off and grew again, swaying back and forth like black water plants.

They are catching the breath...

The water monster opened his eyes. Is there someone coming again?

roar!

The water monster growled, hesitated, and then ignored it and closed his eyes again.

It doesn't want to care about the humans outside. They will probably just turn around and leave.

The person it wants to kill now is Xiao Chen who stole its treasure!

More than ten minutes later, the water monster opened its eyes again. The man did not leave, but was patrolling back and forth above it.

This made it feel very unhappy. What did these people want to do?

The water monster shook its head and slowly stood up. With the illusion it had created here, it would not be easy for Xiao Chen to escape.

It was going to go out and take a look, kill the humans outside, and then come back to continue staring at Xiao Chen.

Thinking of this, the water monster slowly moved outwards, and when it entered the lake, its speed suddenly increased.

However, it remained hidden and did not reveal any trace.

It is like a hunter. When it gets close to its prey, it will suddenly pounce and kill it with one blow!

Above the lake, several figures were flying back and forth, looking around.

"This place should be the Troll Lake, the lair of the troll beasts..."

An old man with gray hair said in a deep voice.

"Why didn't I see the giant monster?"

A person next to him frowned.

"How about we look for it in the lake?"

"No, we can't go into the water. Once we go in, it will be the giant monster's territory... Then, we will all be restricted."

The old man shook his head.

"We need to find it first, lure it out, and fight it in the sky... We don't want to kill it, and it's difficult to do so. We just need to contain it."

"Hmm... Is there really a water spirit here?"

The other person looked at the waterfall falling from the sky with some anticipation.

"According to the ancient map, there are, but it is not clear whether it has been taken away by someone..."

The old man shook his head.

"This is the most reliable water spirit that we know of..."

"The essence of the five elements is extremely difficult to find, and now only two have been found... Even if all the essences of the five elements are collected, can Qing Yunzi transform from an immortal to a god?"

A short old man next to him squinted his eyes.

"There is always hope. Transforming from an immortal to a god is difficult, but it is not impossible to succeed..."

The old man said slowly.

"If it succeeds, the structure of the outer world may have to be changed again."

Hearing this, the remaining three nodded, feeling somewhat excited.

"Brother, I think we have to do something to see if we can lure the giant monster out..."

The short old man who spoke just now spoke again.

"Release the aura first and see if you can lure out the giant demon beast. If not, do something else."

After the old man finished speaking, his aura burst out, rising up to the sky and reaching the lake below.

"good."

The three of them responded and burst into breath.

At the bottom of the lake, the water monster, which had slowed down, sensed the breath from above and its eyes suddenly lit up.

The black tentacles all over its body were swaying gently...especially the suction cups on the tentacles, which were constantly contracting.

It likes to kill strong people the most. Killing them will devour their vitality and blood... These are all great tonics for it.

Swish!

The water monster attacks!

Countless tentacles shot out from the water and headed straight for the four people in the air!

"It's out, everyone be careful!"

The old man's spirits perked up, and he rose suddenly, avoiding the black tentacles.

The other three reacted quickly as well, dodging one after another and drawing their swords.

"Giant monster..."

Soon, they saw a water monster slowly rising from the lake, revealing its huge body.

“That’s it!”

"superior!"

The old man shouted loudly, and the four of them suddenly fell down, slashing at the water monster with swords in their hands.

The water monster looked at the four people without fear. Its countless tentacles swayed, sometimes soft as silk, sometimes hard as iron. It fought one against four and did not lose the upper hand at all.

Boom boom boom…

The war broke out in an instant.

Crash...

The water monster flew up, creating a huge splash of water, and then fell heavily down with a loud noise.

The island in the center of the lake also shook a few times and then returned to calm.

"Set up the formation!"

The old man shouted when he saw the water monster flying over.

"yes!"

After the three of them finished speaking, they stood in different positions and launched the attack.

The water monster noticed the changes in its surroundings, and its shaking black tentacles paused slightly.

The next second, a tentacle between its eyebrows flashed a black light.

As the black light flashed, the four people who were setting up the formation were dragged into the illusion.

"not good!"

The four people's faces changed, and the scene before them had changed.

"Illusion of the Troll... Kill them!"

As the old man finished speaking, his energy flowed into the sword and he slashed out fiercely.

The water monster ignored the attack, the terrifying pressure seemed to come from the sky.

Its huge body disappeared, even its black tentacles disappeared into thin air, and then... suddenly appeared.

"not good!"

When one person senses the crisis, it is too late to avoid it.

He could only barely avoid the vital parts, and the black tentacle pierced his shoulder like a black knife.

His protective energy was like paper in front of the black tentacles and was completely unable to resist.

"Old Five!"

Seeing this, the other three rushed forward to rescue.

roar!

A low roar of a water monster was heard in the void.

It pierced the black tentacle on the man's shoulder, and the suction cups opened and began to devour.

"ah……"

The man cried out in pain and his expression twisted.

However, he was also a ruthless man. He acted decisively and stabbed his own shoulder with a knife, digging out a bloody hole and breaking the suction cup on the black tentacle!

roar!

In the void, the water monster roared, and its huge body squeezed this illusion and fell into the lake.
