Chapter 450 The Disturbed Night
Chapter 450 The Disturbed Night
After being overturned countless times, even the most mindless creature knows that the other party is a tough nut to crack. Ugly things are no exception; they are ugly, not stupid.
The attacks became increasingly passive, and the ugly thing began to fear Lezhi, showing signs of retreating in its actions.
They were having a great time, and at this point, whether to retreat or not was no longer up to Ugly. Seeing that Ugly hadn't continued its attack after being overturned, but instead planned to slip away, Lezhi, who had anticipated this move, smiled slightly.
He gripped her hand tightly. "I've been waiting for you to run away, you water prison."
The gentle voice carried clearly through the water; aquatic creatures have a natural ability to amplify their voices underwater, and to the ears of such an ugly creature is nothing short of a death warrant.
The surrounding waters defied their natural flow, gathering in large groups to completely surround the ugly thing. No matter how much it struggled, it could not break through even an inch. The name "water prison" was truly fitting.
That's not all. If asked what the most important thing Lezhi has learned from all these battles is, he would say without hesitation, "It's to nip it in the bud and eliminate all future troubles."
Since the fight has begun, it should hurt them badly. Right now, it seems like he is fighting this ugly thing, but who knows how many threats are lurking in the shadows. They are eager to make their move, just waiting for either Lezhi or the ugly thing to show signs of weakness so they can immediately come up and take advantage of the situation.
Of course, the ideal situation is that both sides suffer heavy losses.
With a star map in his mind, Lezhi didn't bother to locate each one; he planned to make an example of someone.
A bloodthirsty glint flashed in his eyes, and his grip on the water prison tightened.
Feeling the increasing pressure all over its body, the ugly thing let out its first mournful cry since they met. The silent waves caused the water to tremble and ripple, spreading far and wide in circles.
The message reached the ears of the creatures watching the situation intently.
The dying cries of their kind are the most powerful warning; their survival instincts warn them of danger ahead and to stay away.
This mournful cry was also caught by Lezhi, but he didn't care. His hand continued to clench tightly without hesitation.
As he tightened his grip, the water prison gradually closed in, and the enormous creature seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force. Even with the water obstructing the flow, the sound of bones breaking was still clearly audible. Anyone who heard it would instantly feel a chill down their spine, as if their own bones were also breaking.
Such a shock was undeniably strong. Those who had been secretly watching witnessed the entire process of the ugly thing being crushed, and immediately fell silent, not daring to move rashly. They were delighted that their goal had been achieved. Not far away, the ugly thing that had been trapped in the water prison was now just a mass of black and red blood.
Although it was a masterpiece he had created himself, he still couldn't bear to look at it. He used the water prison to throw the thing far away, and then waited leisurely for a while to make sure that the surrounding lights had no intention of attacking. His silvery-white fish tail swayed a few times without interest, and he leisurely left.
The ugly thing squeezed into bloody foam was discarded by Lezhi as if it were trash, but for other aquatic creatures it was undoubtedly a feast. After Lezhi left, countless aquatic creatures gathered together to share this unexpected gift.

That night, the dangers in the mountains increased exponentially, and coupled with the fact that they had been traveling day and night without rest for a long time, Lei Xiu finally agreed to rest on the spot after Snow and Si Xu jointly suggested it.
Lei Xiu was in charge of feeding the pets. Although he was in charge, the animals could hunt for themselves, except for the leaf beetles. Lei Xiu hardly had to worry about the jelly frogs, and the leaf beetles were vegetarians, so one fruit was enough to satisfy them.
Only Maoqiu and Kele, who follow Lezhi, are used to eating cooked food. When they catch prey, they still need Leixiu to cook it.
But, "Hey, Lei Xiu, why did you make so much? Can Maoqiu and Kele really finish it?"
Faced with Snow's question, Resh paused his stirring motion almost imperceptibly, then continued as if nothing had happened.
"It's alright, just prepare more. We might not have time to rest in the coming days, so it's better to be prepared."
His explanation was reasonable and well-founded, and Snow found it to be reasonable, so he did not ask any further questions.
Only Lei Xiu knew that his answer, while not exactly a lie, was hardly sincere either. If the situation were truly urgent, wouldn't raw food be more convenient? The reason he went to such lengths to prepare so many different flavors was simply because of a certain little guy who didn't like raw food.
Zhizhi would rather go hungry than eat food that is not cooked. Even when surviving alone in the wilderness, he would not deprive himself of food.
Especially now that Lezhi's appetite has increased significantly, Lei Xiu unconsciously makes too much food every time he cooks, and by the time he realizes it, it's too late. But it's okay, he's carefully stored the extra food so that he can feed it to Lezhi immediately if he finds it.
Thinking about this, my enthusiasm for cooking was fully restored.
On the other side, the furball, who had eaten and drunk its fill and was pretending to sleep with its eyes closed, seemed to sense something. Its eyes rolled under its closed eyelids. Cola, who was next to it, was about to wake the furball up when, in the next second, the furball opened its eyes on its own.
The little black bean-like eyes stared straight at the towering mountain peak in the distance; it was there that the power of the power had just fluctuated.
"Chirp~" What's wrong? Did you notice something again?
Cola's cry pulled Maoqiu back to reality. Xiao Heidou's eyes turned back. The strong fluctuations he had just sensed gradually dissipated, and Lezhi's aura became faint again. He guessed that nothing serious should happen.
The group glanced at the people resting by the pile of flint, and the furry ball, whose eyelids had just opened, slowly closed again. "Chirp chirp~" It's okay, rest.
Get some rest. If all goes well, you should be able to reunite with Lezhi soon.
…………
In the Red Stone Valley, the team members responsible for searching the bottom of the Red River drove the ferry and searched the entire valley inside and out, but still found no trace of Lezhi.
"Captain, no, there are no clues. We have gone as far as we can into that underwater crevice, but the ferry is too big to go any deeper unless there are aquatic creatures here."
The person called the captain trembled slightly upon hearing this, and instantly had an idea. "I understand. If we can't go down, then so be it. Don't fight the rift to the death. Maybe the person has been swept away to another place. Continue searching downstream. I'll go contact the clan chief. You take command."
Why the sudden need to contact the clan chief? They hadn't come up empty-handed. The team members were completely bewildered, but they still instinctively obeyed and left.
On one end, someone said they would contact the clan leader, and the next second, the wisteria flowers were already in full bloom. "Siqi, so late, is there any news?"
Si Yi's voice came from the flowers. Although it was late, there was no sign of sleepiness in his voice. Judging from the speed at which the call connected, it was clear that he had been guarding the mother vine all along.
The rescue team leader, Si Qi, was secretly taken aback, his understanding of Le Zhi's importance increasing by another level. "No, the person is most likely no longer in Honghe. I thought of something else."
Si Qi wouldn't jump to conclusions with his team members so quickly. There was still a high probability, and as long as there was even a one in ten thousand chance, they had to keep searching. They had to be honest with the clan leader, and Si Yi understood that as well.
Upon hearing this, he merely frowned slightly and asked, "What is it? Do you need my help?"
“Yes, of course.” Otherwise, why would we contact him? “I suddenly realized that Lezhi disappeared in the Red River. He is most likely still in the water. We can’t contact him from the land. Let’s try having the aquatic creatures contact him.”
Lei Xiu had mentioned that Le Zhi possessed the Sound Transmission Conch, and Si Qi had kept it in mind. Just now, looking at the river, he suddenly thought of this.
This also reminded Si Yi, and he immediately replied, "How could I not have thought of that? Okay, I understand. I'll contact the aquatic tribe now and wait for my message."
He hung up immediately without waiting for Siqi's reply, showing how urgent the matter was.
So, in the middle of the night, the Lingquan Clan, Hanhai Clan, and Huanyin Clan were disturbed in turn. Si Yi not only fought himself, but also called on Le Chu to fight together, making sure that more people would get involved. He couldn't sleep, so no one else could sleep either.
The underground river, please don't covet it. Lezhi, who was busy on his way, was disturbed by the conch shell that suddenly lit up in the space, and his interest was instantly piqued. "I can actually receive phone calls here. The sound transmission conch shell has a pretty good signal, huh?"
