Chapter 132: The Changes in the Cave Trial (Part 3)

"Does this strange-faced needle have no weaknesses?" Xiao Lin asked after thinking for a while.

Glancing at Xiao Lin approvingly, Nangong Chen said, "If we talk about weaknesses, it's probably the tuft of red hair on its head. Although the red hair on the head of this strange face needle li is extremely powerful, it will not be used easily, because the red hair on its head is like the tail sting of a wasp. Once it is activated, even if it can poison the enemy to death, it will surely die. So under normal circumstances, this strange face needle li will not activate the red hair on its head unless it is desperate."

Hearing this, Bai Shuangzhi's heart moved, and he said, "If we fight with this strange face needle li, if it comes to a life-and-death moment, won't it still activate the red needle on its head and die with us?"

"That's for sure, so when fighting with this strange face needle li, you must not let it feel hopeless, but kill it before it has the idea of ​​dying with the enemy, so as to avoid falling into danger." Nangong Chen said solemnly.

Everyone stood on the boat and looked far ahead. There were already more than a dozen cultivators surrounded by the strange-faced needle. The strange-faced needle did not use the red hair on its head, but jumped out of the water and attacked the cultivators with its long tail needle and sharp teeth. As long as someone was caught off guard and dragged into the water, they would be eaten clean in the blink of an eye.

In just a moment, three or four cultivators were dragged into the water by the strange-faced needle. The shrill screams heard by everyone made them all thrilled and their muscles were tense.

Bai Shuangzhi took the lead in slapping the storage bag on her waist, and a palm-sized red jade card floated out of it. After it grew to a foot in size, it turned and floated in front of her. At the same time, a two-inch long small bell was also tightly held in her hand. Her pale face was full of tension, and she was obviously very afraid of this strange-faced needle.

The rest of the people were not idle either. They all used their protective magic weapons to protect themselves, and at the same time, they looked at the lake as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Can we go around from the side? With those people in front attracting this group of strange-faced needles, we can just avoid direct contact with this group of monsters." The monk surnamed Wu on the side had a gloomy face. He held the silver mirror tightly in his hand and used a diamond-shaped high-level defensive magic weapon to protect him. He looked at the dozen monks fighting with the strange-faced needles in the distance and spoke.

Hearing this, Wen Lu looked at the monk surnamed Wu meaningfully, but did not speak, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Nangong Chen thought for a moment before speaking, "The method that fellow Taoist Wu said may not work. Even if we can get around it, those dozen people may not be able to delay us for long. Once those dozen people die, the strange-faced needle-li will naturally target us again. The speed of the strange-faced needle-li is far inferior to the speed of my Yunguang Boat. It won't be long before we are caught up again."

"Brother Nangong is right. The strange-faced needle-li probably wants us to escape, so that they can defeat us one by one. For now, Wen thinks that we should cooperate with other fellow Taoists to kill these strange-faced needle-li together, so that we can safely cross this Fengbo Lake." Looking at Nangong Chen with approval, Wen Lu ignored the embarrassed face of the monk Wu with an embarrassed look in his eyes and said lightly.

"In that case, it is Wu who has a mean mind. Since we are traveling as a team and Fellow Daoist Nangong is our leader, please give us some advice and we will follow it." After the embarrassment, the monk surnamed Wu said angrily.

Hearing this, Nangong Chen smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wu, don't get angry. Although I have temporarily taken over the responsibility of leading the team, everyone can express their own opinions on the plan to pass through Fengbo Lake. If it is on land, I would agree to bypass it, not to mention Fellow Daoist Wu. After all, how can we cultivators do stupid things to save the dying and the wounded when we can't protect ourselves? However, if we encounter monsters on the lake, we will be defeated one by one if we want to protect ourselves. Instead of doing this, it is better for everyone to work together to kill the monsters."

Hearing Nangong Chen's explanation, the cultivator surnamed Wu's face eased a little: "It was Wu who didn't think it through. Just follow Fellow Daoist Nangong's orders."

Xiao Lin didn't say anything from beginning to end, but kept observing those strange-faced needle-li. After observation, it was indeed as Nangong Chen said. After all, half of the genes of the strange-faced needle-li monster came from the strange-faced fish, and it was extremely fast in the water.

On this lake where it is impossible to fly, it is impossible to get rid of them just by stepping on the waves. However, Xiao Lin is confident that as long as he activates the power of the Fire Cloud Pendant to enhance the power of the Wind Control Technique, he may be able to escape from this Storm Lake.

However, as a last resort, Xiao Lin does not intend to use it directly. Moreover, he needs to rely on the power of everyone to break through the second floor of the cave full of monsters, so his face is also an expression of following Nangong Chen's lead.

Bai Shuangzhi and the cultivator surnamed He originally had the same idea as the cultivator surnamed Wu. After listening to the analysis of Nangong Chen and Wen Lu, they also gave up the idea of ​​circumventing it, and instead drove their own magic tools to prepare to fight with this strange face needle.

"Fellow Daoists, I think you have all seen how ferocious this strange-faced needle-li is, and its water-controlling speed is extremely fast. If you want to bypass it, you will definitely be caught up by it after we die. Instead of doing that, it is better to kill this group of strange-faced needle-li together with us, so that everyone can have a glimmer of hope." At this time, a voice like thunder shook from a distance, and it could be heard clearly even from dozens of miles away. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a cultivator in his thirties who was trying to persuade the cultivators around him to go and help.

Obviously, several cultivators did not care about his words. After bypassing for a distance, they still flew towards the Scorpion Tail Mountain, but several people chose to join the team to kill the strange-faced needle-li after pondering for a while.

So after a while, Xiao Lin and his companions saw two situations. At least 20 to 30 people chose to join the team to kill the Strange Face Needle Li, and drove their magic weapons to fight with the Strange Face Needle Li. However, there were also more than a dozen people who chose the method proposed by the Wu surnamed cultivator and bypassed the lake where the Strange Face Needle Li was lurking.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Chen also showed hesitation on his face. The dozen or so cultivators who chose to take a detour did not seem to encounter any danger. Moreover, after dozens of people joined the fight with the Strange Face Needle Li, even if the Strange Face Needle Li could kill these dozens of cultivators, it would probably be seriously injured. If it wanted to chase those cultivators who had already escaped, it would probably be unable to do so.

This made Nangong Chen hesitate for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of the two, but before he made a decision, several miserable cries came from afar. Xiao Lin and his companions couldn't help but look over. It turned out that the screams were not from the dozens of cultivators fighting with the strange-faced needle, but from the mouths of the dozen cultivators who had bypassed it.

"Strange-faced fish? There are so many of them." Nangong Chen couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the monsters that attacked the dozen cultivators.

Xiao Lin also saw that although the dozen cultivators had bypassed the strange-faced needle, they were attacked by a large number of strange-faced fish after flying for several miles. The strange-faced fish had a hideous human face, which was covered with black hair. Its body, which was about ten feet long, was covered with scales like tortoise shells. Its body was streamlined and no different from that of ordinary fish, but its hideous human-like face had an extremely huge mouth.

When the mouth opened, the saw-like fangs were exposed. Each tooth was like a dagger, flashing a cold light. The key was the number of these strange-faced fish. Xiao Lin judged that the number of strange-faced needlefish was about a hundred, and the number of these strange-faced fish almost covered the water surface within a few miles. Looking around, there were probably thousands of them.

"Although these strange-faced fish are only at the middle level of the ordinary level in terms of strength, with so many of them, once they are surrounded, their mana will probably be exhausted quickly, and they will eventually fall." Wen Lu on the side also had an ugly face. Not only him, but also Xiao Lin and others looked unhappy. Wu and He even showed fear.

"It seems that this battle is unavoidable. No matter which side you choose, you can only find a way to rush over." Nangong Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"That strange-faced fish seems to be a little afraid of the strange-faced needle, and did not join the strange-faced needle to besiege those people, but seemed to deliberately keep a distance from the strange-faced needle. In this way, we might as well join those dozens of people, fight with the strange-faced needle, and advance towards the direction of the Scorpion Tail Mountain. In this way, we may have a chance to escape." Xiao Lin, who had been silent, spoke at this time.

Hearing this, Nangong Chen's eyes lit up. He had been hesitating about which side to join, and he had been undecided in his heart. Now, after hearing what Xiao Lin said, he made up his mind. He looked at Xiao Lin and said, "In this way, we will join those dozens of people and fight out of this Fengbo Lake together."

At this point, unless they retreated and returned to the Stone Forest Canyon, there was only one way to rush forward, so no one raised any objections. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Nangong Chen pinched the magic formula and drove the Yunguangzhou towards the dozens of cultivators besieged by the strange-faced needle.

The dozens of cultivators who were surrounded by the strange-faced needles were in a bit of a mess, but due to their large numbers, they managed to resist the attacks of hundreds of strange-faced needles for a while. Now they saw Xiao Lin and his companions driving the cloud light boat towards them, and they all showed joy on their faces.

The thirty cultivators who shouted like thunder before also expressed their gratitude. Although Nangong Chen and his companions knew that this person's gratitude was not sincere, they didn't care. Anyway, on this Fengbo Lake, the reason why everyone could join forces to kill this group of strange-faced needles was not because of any noble idea of ​​helping each other, but just to protect themselves.
