Zhang Xiaohou stared at the face on the tentacle.
The colors around him suddenly disappeared, as if someone was using a giant eraser to rub away the colors. It felt strange and unreal.
The tentacles surrounding Zhang Xiaohou soon returned to the monster.
The monster’s face kept switching. Yang Xiajie’s face even appeared several more times.
The monster started fighting itself. The tentacles were tearing one another apart, and green blood was spraying everywhere.
Zhang Xiaohou’s eyes glittered. He was confirming whether he was still stuck in an illusion.
A demon creature that was good at fooling one’s mind would purposely create a surreal illusion to trick their prey into believing they were freed from the first illusion. It was like waking up from a dream, but in reality, they were still in the middle of a dream.
Zhang Xiaohou was not a weak Mage who could be tricked easily. He had his own way to identify whether he was in an illusion.
It was real! Everything he saw was real!
The monster had indeed devoured Yang Xiajie’s soul and memory. It was trying to understand human constitutions, plans, and abilities, but the owners of the souls and memories would fight back during the process.
As a result, Yang Xiajie kept interfering with the monster’s actions. He even sent a signal back to Zhang Xiaohou while he was in control.
Zhang Xiaohou knew Yang Xiajie’s body was already torn into pieces. The remnants of his soul were fighting back, but he was not going to last for long.
Yang Xiajie would soon be converted. However, he was still fighting with the last parts of his soul.
Zhang Xiaohou saluted Yang Xiajie. He rushed into the silver vein with the limited time Yang Xiajie had bought him.
What was the monster hiding in the silver vein? He was told not to underestimate the sea monsters’ intelligence. What were they up to?

The camp at the bottom of the sea…
Countless Wild Lightning Gulpers had formed a deadly lightning web outside the barrier, surrounding the camp.
“There are too many of them. We can’t hold on for much longer!”
“Call them back. We have to retreat to the surface…”
“I’m calling the dragon beasts. We have to go now!”
The scales of the Wild Lightning Gulpers were releasing strong arcs of lightning. When their entire bodies were flickering, they would fire a lightning bolt strong enough to penetrate rocks.
They had come from the forest of seaweed above the camp. Hua Yuezhu had asked Old Jia to increase the range of the signals by a dozen kilometers to look for Zhang Xiaohou.
Unfortunately, not only did they fail to locate Zhang Xiaohou, they ended up attracting the sea monsters for dozens of kilometers around the camp.
“Triumphant Eagle Dragons!”
The group cleared a path to the surface. The Triumphant Eagle Dragons flew close to the water and snatched everyone into the sky!
The Triumphant Eagle Horses quickly soared into the sky. Several seconds later, a terrifying thunderstorm burst out of the sea and created a huge wave several hundred meters high. It almost swallowed the soldiers and dragged them back into the water.
“The General’s Flying Dragon…”
The rest of the Triumphant Eagle Horses had regrouped with them.
The imperious Flying Dragon also flew toward them, but it did not stay for long. It beat its wings and flew into the distance!
“Is…is it leaving the Bohai Sea?”
“It’s heading toward the Pacific Ocean!”
“Does that mean the General is really dead, which sets the Flying Dragon free?”
The soldiers circled in the sky with grim looks on their faces.
Tan Feng and the others were initially waiting at the bottom of the sea, but Zhang Xiaohou’s life signal was lost not long afterwards.
Tan Feng immediately asked the people in the camp to expand their search range, but they still failed to locate Zhang Xiaohou’s signal after increasing the range of the search by several dozen kilometers.
The Cold Ray Ruler appeared just as Tan Feng and the others were about to go after Zhang Xiaohou. They had almost died in the trench.
