577 Chapter 577 "Psycho"

"Mistress, his highness said that he saw a big, whale-like beast underneath us. That beast is ready to attack anytime." Jiu Wei himself couldn't help but shudder when Long Ao Zhen called him to tell him about this.

He knew that this lake was big, bigger than a normal lake that they usually saw, but how could a creature THAT big also reside in this lake?? This blood-controlling beast is really insane to put such a big creature in the lake he created!

"What?? It's bad then! My barrier won't be able to withstand it if that beast attacked." Li Shi Ying's face also turned pale since they had been swimming for quite a while now, but somehow they were always pulled back, distancing away from the nest.

Isn't this water weird? She means just look. They had been swimming for a while now, but how come they haven't reached the nest yet? It's as if the water moved and pulled us back every time they were about to reach the nest.

….wait wait, don't tell her…

"Guys I have bad news" Li Shi Ying gulped her saliva nervously as she stopped swimming further. She realized that no matter how hard she swam, she wouldn't be able to reach the nest.

"What bad news?" At this time, even Gu Zhong also realized that there was something wrong with the water in this lake. How come they couldn't get closer to the nest at all?

"First, there is a super big beast waiting to eat us underneath our bodies, and second. The blood-controlling beast is already aware we're here and now is playing with us."

Li Shi Ying gritted her teeth, cursing at how dumb she was for not realizing this sooner. The water in this lake was blood which could be controlled freely by that weird beast. For them to not be able to swim closer no matter how hard they tried…

It only meant one thing. The beast itself was controlling the water so they couldn't swim closer! This beast was playing with them as it commanded the other beasts inside the lake to feast on them.

What a cruel and cold-blooded beast! She never met such a terrifying sacred beast before. Unlike Jiu Wei, who was only hostile toward humans, or like Di Yu who immediately charged on humans…not to mention Qi Tou who was acting indifferent toward humans…

This one beast had a very bad nature! It seemed that this beast liked to play with its prey before killing them. Just like now. A psycho!

"W-whaaaat?! H-how come...wait, then what should we do??" Hearing this, Shu Chen quickly looked down, trying to see where this beast was but to no avail. He couldn't even see other beasts surrounding them.

Duan Hui Nan also began to silently cry since she suddenly got another vision. This time, the vision was so terrifying that if not for her strong mentality, she would have already fainted right away.

All three of them died. No! She didn't want to!

"Li Shi Ying, please save me, please…" Duan Hui Nan cry as she begged Li Shi Ying, knowing that she would be the only one to survive thanks to that strong senior at the shore.

She didn't want to die just because she joined this kind of ridiculous tournament!

"Calm down." Li Shi Ying took a deep breath as she began to think of a way. She knew Long Ao Zhen would save her in critical time not caring if she would fail the tournament, then but she didn't want to be the only one surviving.

Since these three were in her team, even though she hated Duan Hui Nan, she couldn't let them die in front of her eyes!

This beast liked to play? Then she would play along!

"Oy unknown blood-controlling beast, I know you're watching us and can hear me." Li Shi Ying silently nudged the others to get in front of her so her body wouldn't be visible from the nest.

Even though they had been using the invisible talisman, since the blood-controlling beast was the one commanding all the beasts in the lake, it became useless.

She bet this blood-controlling beast could detect their position just by smelling their blood! They weren't even bleeding but this beast must be able to locate where the place with human blood was.

Anyway, the talisman effect would run out soon, and so would the barrier, so she had to do something quick!

SIIINNNNGGG….

When Li Shi Ying shouted, no one answered her, and only her own voice echoed throughout the cliff surrounding the lake.

"You like to play, but playing dirty like this isn't fun. Let me fight you one on one, how about it?" Li Shi Ying could feel cold sweat drenching her back as she took out another barrier talisman.

This time, she used it immediately to prolong the barrier's effect. She had a plan in her head, but she was sure this plan needed to bet on something, and of course this 'something' would be these three!
