Underworld Erosion

"Come out, white scale fish."

Bai Zian, determined in his course of action, summoned the white-scaled fish discreetly, minimizing his movements to avoid detection by the spider swarm. He was gearing up for a strategic surprise attack.

Qiaogubai, standing beside him, was on the verge of despair. She hadn't anticipated Bai Zian's eagerness to confront the bronze-level mutant spirit beasts.

"Zian, don't mess around; this is really not something we can deal with," Qiaogubai pleaded in a hushed tone, her special luck talent warning her of impending danger.

Bai Zian reassured her, "It's okay. Just step back a little, find a safe place, and watch from a distance." Bai Zian intended to demonstrate his strength to Qiaogubai while ensuring her safety.

After a brief hesitation, Qiaogubai stepped back, realizing the imminent danger posed by the mutant candle flame spider leader.

"Now, it's our turn to play. White-scaled fish, use the water gun impact to reduce the number of ordinary candlelight spiders first. Wait until the leader of the mutant candle flame spider is alone, then use the water burst skill," Bai Zian instructed the white-scaled fish, outlining his tactical approach.

The spider nest presented a unique challenge with a powerful mutant candle flame spider leader and over 30 ordinary candle flame spiders. Though not individually potent, their sheer number posed a threat.

Bai Zian's strategy was simple but effective. The white-scaled fish, with its intelligence and skills, executed the plan flawlessly. It first used the low-cost green skill Water Gun Impact to eliminate ordinary candlelight spiders. Once they were dealt with, it employed the blue skill Water Flow Break to target the mutated Candlelight Spider leader.

As the white-scaled fish soared into the nest, Bai Zian maintained a safe distance outside, refusing to risk venturing into the spider-infested territory.

The white-scaled fish initiated the attack, catching the candlelight spiders off guard. The water gun impact skill swiftly eliminated several spiders, showcasing the white-scaled fish's prowess.

The leader of the mutant candle flame spider, initially indifferent, grew enraged witnessing its minions fall. The white-scaled fish's strength surprised and angered it.

Sizzle!

The mutant candle flame spider leader roared, rallying its remaining forces to attack the white-scaled fish. However, the agile fish effortlessly dodged their assaults, using its water gun impact skill to reduce their numbers.

Amid the chaos, the leader of the mutant candle flame spider realized the dire situation—its forces were dwindling rapidly. Unwilling to suffer further losses, it joined the fray, launching a powerful candle burn attack at the white-scaled fish.

Boom!

The fiery red candles shot toward the airborne white-scaled fish. However, the attack, though formidable, had little effect on the agile creature, protected by its speed-enhancing talent, Dragon Speed, and mastery over the foam layer.

In the unfolding battle, Bai Zian observed with confidence, knowing that the white-scaled fish was more than capable of handling the situation.

Amidst the scorching heat emanating from the candle fire group, the white-scaled fish elegantly danced, skillfully evading the encroaching flames. Bai Zian, his demeanor composed and calculating, directed the white-scaled fish to eliminate the lesser candlelight spiders, preparing the battleground for the imminent clash with the mutant candle flame spider leader.

Qiaogubai, still harboring concerns, couldn't hold back her worry. "Bai Zian, are you sure about this? That mutant spider leader seems formidable. Maybe we should reconsider our approach."

Bai Zian reassured her with a confident smile. "Don't worry, Qiaogubai. I've got it all under control. Just stay back and watch."

As the skirmish unfolded, the white-scaled fish showcased its prowess, unleashing precise water gun impacts to dismantle the ordinary candlelight spiders. Witnessing the decimation of its subordinates, the mutant candle flame spider leader grew increasingly incensed, gearing up for a vengeful retaliation.

Amidst the fiery assault of the mutant spider leader's Melting and Cutting Spider Silk, Qiaogubai couldn't contain her anxiety. "Bai Zian, this is dangerous! We should reconsider."

Bai Zian, focused on the unfolding battle, calmly responded, "Trust me, Qiaogubai. Everything is going according to plan."

However, as Bai Zian observed the seemingly effortless victory, a realization struck him. "Wait, this is... a very cunning spider. It's devised a tricky plan."

Qiaogubai, sensing the shift in Bai Zian's demeanor, questioned, "What's happening? Why the sudden change?"

Bai Zian explained, "The spider silk it's leaving behind – it's weaving a trap, limiting the white-scaled fish's speed. We need to act fast."

In response to the mounting threat, Bai Zian urgently altered his strategy. "White-scaled fish, stop playing! Use the water to erode it and finish it completely!"

Concern etched on her face, Qiaogubai pleaded, "Bai Zian, be careful. Don't take unnecessary risks."

Bai Zian, however, was resolute. "It's the only way. Watch and learn."

"White-scaled fish, use the Underworld Erosion!" Bai Zian's command introduced a powerful purple skill, raising the stakes of the battle. The white-scaled fish, perplexed by the sudden shift, obeyed without question.

A unique water column, dark as ink and exuding an ominous coldness, materialized before the white-scaled fish. Unleashing the powerful Underworld Erosion, it struck the mutant candle flame spider leader. The formidable attack left the leader paralyzed, unable to evade due to its injured spider feet. The black water column, akin to an abyss, drained the life force from the mutant candle flame spider leader.

In a desperate cry, the leader succumbed to the relentless assault of the black water column. Victory belonged to the white-scaled fish, and Bai Zian's risky gamble paid off. The cavern fell silent, save for the lingering echoes of their triumph.
