Chapter 94 "Nowhere to Hide"

Yang Xuan stared at the mermaids for a long time and finally blurted out, "It doesn't look very scary, seems easy to handle?"
"Don't be fooled by appearances."
凌乘风摆了摆手，小声说：“别忘了，我们现在是在山海世界里，这人鱼不是分身，而是本体，所以要比想象中强大的多。”
"Understood."
Yang Xuan nodded and said, "I just thought of a problem."
"What problem?"
Ling Chengfeng looked over.
Yang Xuan made a cutting gesture and then shrugged, "I am bare-handed, how do I cut a piece of fish meat from the mermaid's body?"
"Who says you're empty handed?"
Ling Chengfeng immediately took out a millennial clam, broke open the shell, and a fist-sized, stable black hole vortex popped out from the center of the shell.
"Don't forget, Black Grandpa gave us a bunch of treasures."
Ling Chengfeng reached his hand into the black hole vortex in the seashell, and half of his arm disappeared into thin air. He frowned and looked like he was picking something out.
“Here you go, take it.”
After a while, Ling Chengfeng took out a black iron heavy knife from the Millennium Shell and handed the handle to Yang Xuan, saying, “You have such great strength, so I found a heavy weapon specifically for you.”
"Alright."
Yang Xuan held the Black Iron Heavy Sword, which had an extremely ancient style and didn't even have a handguard, only a hilt and blade with a single cutting edge.
Having a weapon in his hand, Yang Xuan's confidence immediately increased a few notches.
"Let's go."
Yang Xuan stood up and groped forward.
He took a few steps forward alone, but felt that something was wrong. When he turned around, he found that Ling Chengfeng and Lu Xiaoqi were still lying behind him, motionless.
He quickly stopped his steps, suppressed his voice, and asked inexplicably, "Why aren't you coming over?"
"Neither I nor Xiaoqi have spiritual power, and our physical constitution is inferior to yours. Escaping is not a problem, but participating in this kind of frontal combat...let's forget it."
"Let's just watch here, so we don't drag you down. If you can't beat them, we'll come over and save you. Good luck!"
After finishing speaking, Ling Chengfeng made a thumbs up gesture to Yang Xuang.
"...Okay."
Ling Chengfeng gave a sufficient and perfect reason, and Yang Xuan couldn't find any argument, so he could only grit his teeth and approach the few mermaids with a heavy knife in hand.
"Yelp!"
As soon as Yang Xuan's feet landed on the riverbank, the three mermaids who were sleeping suddenly opened their eyes and stared fiercely at him.
When the three merpeople saw the Xuantie Heavy Blade in Yang Xuan's hand, their eyes gleamed with hostility and their mouths opened to reveal sharp, crocodile-like teeth.
So scary!
Yang Xuan had not expected the three merpeople, who appeared to be like jelly, to suddenly emanate the aura of an ancient giant crocodile, making them seem highly dangerous.
But now that he had come this far, Yang Xu had no choice but to grit his teeth and charge towards the mermaid in the middle.
"Bing Bing!"
"Yelp!"
……
A fierce battle between the mermaids was about to break out, and Yang Xu instantly clashed with three mermaids the size of small trucks, fighting fiercely.
As Ling Chengfeng said, these three mermaids are much more powerful than Yang Xuan had imagined.
The mermaids not only have quick movements and immense strength, but their scales, which appear to be very slippery, are actually even more slippery than they look!
Yang Xuan used his knife to hack at the mermaid's body, but the sharp blade couldn't even penetrate her scales. Instead, it was like hitting soap with a stick; the blade twisted and slid off to the side without causing any harm.
"The psychic shockwave is useless!"
Yang Xuan secretly used a psychic shockwave, trying to paralyze the movements of the mermaids, but found that the three mermaids were not affected by his psychic power.
Wuwuwu!
Three huge fish tails swung from three different directions, and Yang Xuan could not dodge in time, so he had to hold his heavy knife horizontally in front of him to block the attack.
The force of the fish tail's swing was great, pushing Yang Xuan back three steps.
Yang Xuanyu was feeling extremely frustrated and wanted to vomit blood: "How are we supposed to fight this?"
Just then, Ling Chengfeng and Lu Xiaoqi descended from the sky, holding a huge iron net. They unexpectedly threw it over a mermaid, trapping her inside.
"Quick! Cut off its tail!"
Ling Chengfeng shouted loudly at the distracted Yang Xuan.
He had been watching the battle between Yang Xuan and the mermaids from behind, and of course, he saw that Yang Xuan couldn't handle three mermaids, so he found the opportunity to act decisively.
"Yelp!"
The mermaid caught in the iron wire net struggled desperately, but unfortunately the net that was draped over it was not an ordinary wire net. The moment it landed, the iron wire net became as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on its body and rendering it unable to move.
Yang Xuan quickly took his sword and went to the back, swinging his sword down at the huge fish tail of the mermaid, and with a flash of his sword, he fiercely cut off the next section of the tail!
"- Yīng!"
The mermaid felt pain and screamed in self-defense, her screams were piercing and made people feel dizzy. Ling Chengfeng and Lu Xiaoqi instinctively loosened their iron net and covered their ears.
The mermaid whose tail was cut off immediately turned around and fled, and the other two mermaids did not stay to fight either. They followed the one whose tail was severed and all plunged into the ice-cold waters of the Jue Jue River.
"Huh!"
Yang Xuansong breathed a sigh of relief. Although the battle didn't last long, it was extremely intense. In addition, the heavy Xuantie machete in his hand was too heavy and swinging it took a lot of effort.
"I finally got the last unusual item."
Ling Chengfeng walked up to the broken mermaid tail and used maple leaves to collect it. Then, he walked towards Yang Xuan and put the heavy sword in his hand back into the thousand-year clam.
"What? It's very easy."
Lu Xiaoqi also walked over, pouting and saying, "I thought mermaids were very powerful. I don't have any spiritual power, otherwise, I could easily take care of one in minutes. It's not worth all this effort."
Yang Xuan wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded repeatedly, responding, "Yes, yes, you're the most amazing."
"Anyway, we managed to collect three unique items just before time ran out."
Ling Chengfeng patted Yang Xuan's shoulder and praised him, "Well done, next..."
"Hurry up! The sound is just ahead!"
"It should be them!"
"Damn it, we must catch them! Punish them severely!"
……
Ling Chengfeng didn't finish his sentence when he suddenly heard the sound of voices coming from downstream of the river, and they were rapidly approaching.
"People from the city are chasing after us! How did they catch up so quickly!"
The three of them were alarmed and turned around to run, not daring to stay in the same spot for too long.
Yang Xuan ran and asked Ling Chengfeng, "Didn't you say they wouldn't catch up with us for a while? How did they find us so quickly?"
"There's always an exception to everything."
Ling Chengfeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Among more than ten thousand people, there are always a few fast runners. We were dealing with the mermaids just now, and their screaming must have attracted someone over."
"But it's okay, we've already gathered three strange objects. As long as we find a place to hide and wait for time to pass, Big White will summon us back to the real world and we'll be safe."
Yang Xuan was speechless and pointed to the completely uncovered hillside, asking, "Where can we hide?"
