Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Sea Beasts Strike!

Lu Chen and the giant beast had no idea that, as they fought, there was an "opportunist" behind them.

The reason the water monster was drawn to them in the first place was due to Lu Chen’s attack, which caused the smell of blood to spill into the water.

In the dark depths, Lu Chen concentrated intently. With each strike he executed, he would quickly conceal his aura, leaving the beast powerless to respond.

Lu Chen was hidden too well, and the flowing water did an excellent job of covering his scent.

As time passed, the beast finally became exhausted. No longer able to lurk, its body slowly sank towards the bottom of the water.

Only then did Lu Chen reveal himself. With a flick of his spear tip, he sliced the belly of the giant beast open and then, using the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, he found the demon pill and reached for it!

Blood churned, engulfing Lu Chen instantly.

The next moment, Lu Chen grasped a round demon pill in his hand!

Just as he prepared to leave, he glanced sideways and, through the mist of blood, saw those two large eyeballs, sending a shock through his body!

It was coincidental that the blood mist concealed Lu Chen’s figure from the monster, preventing it from locking onto him!

Yet Lu Chen’s Pupil Skill not only allowed him to locate the beast, but also to perceive its true form!

It was a snake!

But this snake had a single horn on its head and four limbs on its belly, reminiscent of a dragon!

And its body was incredibly thick and long!

Seemingly having noticed Lu Chen’s gaze, the dragon-snake suddenly darted out, heedless of anything else. It opened its enormous mouth, attempting to swallow the entire cloud of blood mist!

Lu Chen’s face paled, and without hesitation, he merged himself into the water!

But then he thought!

Although the mystical bead had its uses, it might not necessarily be able to evade the dragon-snake’s perception!

The crisis still present, Lu Chen, without any significant odds of victory, had a flash of inspiration. He commanded the Water Spirit Power within his body to flow out and connect with the mystical bead!

Had it not been for the Pupil Skill in the heavy waters before, Lu Chen would not have been able to find the mystical bead.

With the bead in his possession, it was possible for him to go unnoticed by the giant beast on the shore.

If he could establish a connection using Spiritual Power, perhaps he could escape the dragon-snake’s perception!

As the Spiritual Power adhered to the bead, Lu Chen immediately felt a mysteriously profound sensation!

At that moment, the bead was him, and he was the bead!

"This... is amazing!"

Lu Chen was overjoyed. Riding the undercurrent brought on by the dragon-snake’s rush, he was floated out, perfectly escaping the range of the blood mist!

As he was swept backwards, he also saw with his own eyes the dragon-snake biting into the carcass of the giant beast!

Instantly, the body was split in two, and all the blood mist was swallowed in one gulp by the beast.

Darkness returned to the water, but in the eyes of the dragon-snake, a look of bewilderment emerged.

Clearly, it had not discovered Lu Chen!

Lu Chen felt a surge of joy and, while the dragon-snake was distracted looking around, he took the opportunity to swim upwards with the current.

He already had a plan in mind.

If he could lure the giant beast from the shore into the water to kill it, could he also lure the dragon-snake to the shore?

However, he soon discarded this thought.

His venture into the water was successful due to the darkness and the wonders of the mystical bead.

If he were to be on shore, even though the dragon-snake might be affected, his Water Spirit Power was too gentle; lacking in lethality, it was doubtful he would be able to kill the dragon-snake!

"I better escape to the surface first and not come down into these waters lightly again!"

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment but then abandoned the idea, using the cover provided by the mystical bead to ascend slowly.

Clearly, the dragon-snake had no intention of giving up the search for Lu Chen.

After consuming the two halves of the giant beast, it flicked its tail and stirred the water at the bottom incessantly.

Seeing this, Lu Chen felt relief; he was fortunate to have escaped swiftly, otherwise, he would undoubtedly have been discovered!

Just as he was thinking this, to his surprise, the dragon-snake suddenly stopped moving. Demonic power overflowed from its body. In the snake’s eyes, twin beams of light burst forth, sweeping around as it moved its head, searching for Lu Chen’s position!

Although Lu Chen was hidden in the water, in essence, he had only blended his aura with the water; his body was still there.

Before long, the two beams of light locked onto Lu Chen!

"Whoosh!"

The dragon-snake’s body shot out, pursuing Lu Chen at great speed!
