Oceanid Summon? Hu Tao’s Ultimate Move!
This sudden change raised Hu Tao's alertness.
She gripped her Homa Staff tightly and said, "What's going on?"
Lin Yuan also felt the tension; this familiar scene brought back painful memories.
I hope it's not that thing; otherwise, it could get troublesome, he thought.
Unfortunately, the situation went awry as the gathering water vapor gradually formed a shape.
It was translucent blue, with a single tail and two fin-like hands, and its head had a peculiar shape, featuring a glowing circle as an eye.
The entire form had a sleek, graceful proportion, floating above the water altar in the center of the pond.
A transcendent voice drifted through the air: "Are you an assassin from my homeland or a fool who..."
Hearing that familiar voice made Lin Yuan instantly feel PTSD!
Oh no! An Oceanid?
A nightmare for newcomers!
What's happening? I didn't provoke it!
The worst outcome had indeed appeared.
Seeing the Oceanid brought forth many painful memories for Lin Yuan.
He had suffered at the hands of the Oceanid during the early days of the game.
This creature was difficult to fight before forming a proper team.
It probably wouldn't be any easier in reality.
After all, the Oceanid floated in the air and could summon various water creatures.
It was indeed a significant hassle.
Hu Tao, looking at the Oceanid the size of a building, felt quite troubled.
Having roamed around Wuwang Hill for years, she naturally knew that there was an Oceanid in the water nearby.
She had even fought it before, and whether she won or lost, it was always a challenge.
However, the Oceanid typically didn't appear unless someone entered the water.
That was why Hu Tao was standing by the pond so confidently.
But now, the Oceanid had defied the norm and shown itself.
Hu Tao immediately asked in confusion, "Huan Huan, what did you do to attract the Oceanid?"
Lin Yuan shook his head; he had no idea why the Oceanid had appeared.
Could it be triggered by his dragon aura? Or perhaps caused by the remnants of the god that fell into the pond earlier?
None of that mattered now; the key was how to deal with the Oceanid that seemed ready for battle.
Hu Tao cast an expectant look at Lin Yuan and said, "Huan Huan, you're the little divine dragon, right? You can handle the Oceanid, can't you?"
Lin Yuan felt speechless.
Now you remember I'm the little divine dragon? Just a moment ago, you compared me to the restaurant's dog!
As for whether he could handle the Oceanid, Lin Yuan wasn't sure.
After all, since coming to this world, he hadn't fought a boss-level creature like this.
Hu Tao seemed to sense Lin Yuan's hesitation and pretended to be disappointed, saying, "If you can't do it, it's fine. I only expect you to be the good luck charm of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."
Lin Yuan narrowed his dragon eyes; Hu Tao was still in the mood to joke at a time like this. She really had a big heart.
While Hu Tao and Lin Yuan were talking, the Oceanid waved its fin-like hands,
And suddenly, several water creatures like water frogs, water cranes, and water crabs appeared on the water's surface, all made of water.
Each of these aquatic creatures was larger than a person.
Seeing this, Hu Tao immediately put away her playful demeanor.
Having fought the Oceanid before, she knew these water creatures were incredibly strong and difficult to deal with.
Even with her fire-element vision having some advantage against the Oceanid,
These water creatures would unleash powerful water explosions upon defeat.
The first time she battled them, she almost got caught off guard by one of those explosions.
Even now, Hu Tao didn't want to engage with these troublesome foes.
Realizing this, she said seriously, "Looks like there's no choice. I'll have to use my last resort."
Lin Yuan's curiosity piqued; did Hu Tao have a trump card?
But considering the long-standing heritage of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she might indeed have some powerful technique.
Given that the Oceanid had summoned a whole army of water creatures, Lin Yuan didn't want to fight them either.
After all, in the game, the Oceanid could summon at most two batches of water creatures at once.
But here, the Oceanid had summoned a full army in one go.
Lin Yuan estimated there were at least dozens of them.
Even though Lin Yuan had confidence in his abilities, he didn't want to provoke their might.
If Hu Tao really had a way to deal with these Oceanid summons, that would be the best.
Just as Hu Tao seemed ready to unleash her ultimate move,
The Oceanid's summoned creatures began to hop towards Lin Yuan and her on the water's surface.
The water was as easy to traverse for these creatures as solid ground.
As the water creatures approached, Hu Tao suddenly shouted,
"I didn't want to use this last resort, but you're forcing me!"
Lin Yuan's eyes filled with anticipation; what ultimate move did Hu Tao have?
At that moment, Hu Tao quickly hugged Lin Yuan and turned to run:
"This move is called 'Running Away!'"
Lin Yuan instantly felt speechless; so her ultimate move was to retreat.
What was with all that serious posturing?
He really shouldn't have expected anything from Hu Tao, the clever little rascal.
However, Lin Yuan had to admit that Hu Tao's choice was indeed wise.
After all, the Oceanid could only operate near water sources,
And its summoned creatures couldn't stray too far from it.
As long as Lin Yuan and Hu Tao distanced themselves from the Oceanid, it wouldn't be able to chase them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan let out a sound urging Hu Tao to hurry and escape.
"Ying ying ying."
"Hey, are you impressed by my cleverness, Huan Huan?" Hu Tao exclaimed proudly while running with Lin Yuan.
"As long as we stay away from that Oceanid, it will disappear from the water's surface after a while."
"I figured this out from my previous battles with the Oceanid; I usually don't tell others this trick."
Hu Tao said mysteriously.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes; this was a pattern any player who had played the game would know.
However, for the people of this world, not many understood it.
Just as Hu Tao and Lin Yuan hadn't run far, a thick black mist suddenly emerged in front of them.
Several figures formed from the black mist stood blocking their path.
"Oh no! How could there be more remnants of the demon god? And so many at once?" Hu Tao exclaimed, surprise filling her eyes, forcing them to stop.
She didn't expect that after just dealing with one black mist, so many more would still exist in Wuwang Hill,
And it just so happened to appear at this moment, blocking their way.
Lin Yuan's expression hardened.
With the black mist in front and the Oceanid pursuing from behind, neither side was easy to deal with.
They had been cornered into a dire situation.
