The giant was aware of the little mice moving behind it, but even if it were to turn around now, the little mice would have moved somewhere else where the giant could not see. Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan were the two little mice that were making the Vast Sea Monster very uncomfortable!

Zhang Xiaohou’s strategy was actually working. The Vast Sea Monster realized it would only waste its time if it tried looking for the little mice. It simply ignored them since the damage the two mice could cause was almost negligible.

“Brother Fan, you should be able to take care of it yourself. I’ll place you down here.” Zhang Xiaohou dropped Mo Fan at a spot where he could move around freely.

“Yeah, go do your thing, but remember what I told you: there must be a reason why the creature hasn’t shown its true appearance yet,” Mo Fan said seriously.

“Mm, I won’t die so easily, especially after hearing what you said,” Zhang Xiaohou reassured him.

Zhang Xiaohou had goosebumps when the thought of being buried alongside Yu Ang’s remains crossed his mind. Only Mo Fan would come up with such an insane idea!

Zhang Xiaohou was flying at a low altitude, around twenty meters above the water. The waves were splashing wildly and hindering his vision, not to mention the waterspouts that were rising continuously from the sea.

“If it’s really trying to destroy the bridge, why didn’t it just show itself and ram into the bridge with all its might?” Zhang Xiaohou mumbled to himself with a confused face.

The depth of the strait was over a hundred meters. Currently, the Vast Sea Monster had only exposed its head, shoulders, and stomach above the surface. No one could tell if it had the strong limbs of a beast, or the body of a whale under the water.

“Why are there so many parasites? How disgusting…” Zhang Xiaohou looked at the water and saw countless black demon leeches wriggling around.

The demon leeches had spread across the water below the area of the creature’s body that was currently exposed. It was not the only species of parasites feeding off the creature’s body. The Parasitic Steam Grasshoppers that were flying out its gills had been a huge threat to him previously.

“Do I have to go under the water?”

Zhang Xiaohou hesitated. The only way to learn the creature’s true appearance was to dive into the water.

However, that was going to be extremely dangerous. Mo Fan already warned him they had no idea what the creature’s current form was. If it was only in its probing mindset, the rest of the body that was hidden under the water might be insanely powerful, so he would only get himself killed.

If he sacrificed his life just to see the Vast Sea Monster’s true appearance, Mo Fan was surely going to bury him with Yu Ang’s remains! He wondered if the risk was even worth it.

Zhang Xiaohou maintained his distance outside the Vast Sea Monster’s field of vision. The three Super Mages were attacking the creature at the same time. The light of Super Spells pierced through the thick clouds before lighting up the dim strait like miracles at work.

“I wonder if this is going to work.”

Zhang Xiaohou knew the Vast Sea Monster was focusing on defending itself from a Super Light Spell. He had to make use of the opportunity.

He stuck close to the water and suddenly gathered his focus to see through it, even though he could only see a few dozen meters deep. He used the Eyes of the Rock Demon and Petrify.

Zhang Xiaohou was observing the demon leeches under the water. He realized they were actually attached to the Vast Sea Monster’s skin, as if it was secreting the fat they were feeding on. The petrifying energy turned the demon leeches into a layer of stone on the creature’s skin and outlined the creature’s body.

Zhang Xiaohou did not believe his Petrify would be able to turn the creature into stone. He was only aiming at the demon leeches on its skin, like he was applying a layer of cement to the creature. Once the cement dried up, it would reveal the creature’s true outline.

The Vast Sea Monster was not bothered by the demon leeches’ death. When Zhang Xiaohou noticed the Petrify energy had covered quite a huge distance, he decisively drew the layer of stone toward him.
