Chapter 432: Saw Skate King (II)

Right, Saw Skates didn’t have the ability of flight, but with the use of his spatial teleportation ability, the Saw Skate King directly appeared in midair, before lashing the large tail on its back, just like an arrow aimed from afar. Being a powerful magical beast of the tenth rank, it was one of the rulers in these swamps, who of course had his own methods to lock down the location of Long Haochen and the other two. And furthermore, it took only three flashes for him to have Long Haochen’s group in sight.

However, also right that instant, the dashing figure of the Saw Skate King came to a sudden stop. Abruptly turning back, it gave a look to its dwelling place in the opposite direction.

Because of this sudden freeze, the appearance of this Saw Skate King became visible.

Its looks were similar to ordinary Saw Skates, which were close to fishes in this regard. On its head was a large horn, with a sharp blade glinting in silverlight on each of its two sides. The light emitted from it was even deeper in color than mythril, and even brighter than gold essence. Also, the radiance coming out from its body was colored with a mixture of green and silver. From its abdomen, two kinds of wings stuck out. These kinds of wings were still not enough to enable it to fly, but allowed it to glide.

Being a powerful magical beast that went through countless evolutions to adapt themselves to the changes of the external world, the Saw Skates’ genes were already not the same anymore, explaining why this Saw Skate would be capable of gliding. After thousands of years, who could be certain that they would still be unable to grow wings.

Behind its horn, the two eyes of the Saw Skate King looked soft and thin, revealing a gloomy expression. Its two eyes were scrunched, letting out a bewildered look. Upon reaching its level, a magical beast would have considerable intelligence. Toward Long Haochen’s provocation, it was of course acting on behalf of its brothers, but right when it was about to chase after Long Haochen’s bunch, it suddenly had a huge sense of crisis.

This feeling of crisis wasn’t directed at him, but at his kin’s habitat.

A resonant phoenix cry rang out in the air, and a massive blue flame took flight in the horizon. It was because of its existence that the Saw Skate King had come to a sudden stop.

The next instant, another spatial teleportation occurred, this time not aimed at chasing after Long Haochen’s group, but in the direction of its home.

These three were certainly hateful, but compared to the habitat they had built for the past thousands of years, they were nothing significant.

That dazzling blue flame was already perceived as a major threat in the senses of the Saw Skate King. In case it was let inside of the lake, the consequences weren’t anything he dared imagine.

However, this move came an instant too late in the end. The instant the Saw Skate King teleported itself in the range of the lake, a blue phoenix was already falling inside, making way in the clear lake.

As a sharp cry came out from the mouth of the Saw Skate King, its body flashed, entering the lake. But that instant, the water inside was boiling intensely.

In total panic, a large amount of Saw Skates came out from the lake, which immediately turned blue.

The splashed water evaporated at terrifying speed, and this originally not so large lake decreased in size very rapidly, gradually revealing the wetland originally concealed in the lake.

Shrieking in succession, the Saw Skate’s anger reached its extreme point, but even then, he was still helpless in this situation. The Saw Skate King was a spatial and wind elemental magical beast, not an ice elemental one! What could it do to make the evaporating water cool down?

By chance, this high temperature didn’t remain for too long, and after the lake lost a third of its size, the situation finally calmed down. Though, this was closely related to the humidity level in this place, if this happened outside of these swamps, the damage would be even more disastrous. But even so, the loss of a third of the lake was definitely a very bad thing to this group of Saw Skates. Who knew how long it would take them to gather so much water back there.

This lake of clear water was not only used as their habitat, but also as a place where a large amount of water plants were produced. And the first beneficiary of these water plants was the Saw Skate King!

The water in the lake was still boiling, so the Saw Skates became unwilling to move inside, and the water plants inside were most likely carried away by the boiling current.

The Saw Skate King was still in motion, letting out bursts of spatial energy in the air, producing an immense silver net, cutting the air apart.

However, even if it was even more powerful, what could he accomplish with air? This was no more than futile venting.

In the air, Lin Xin was carried away by Han Yu, while Haoyue was waiting for them in the sky. Haoyue was the last trump card kept by Long Haochen, used as their last rearguard and diversion. Long Haochen would have no difficulty to sense his whereabouts due to their blood contract, and to reunite with him.
