"Click——"
The seat where Basil was sitting split open, and then the entire tent was completely split in two.
"Luo Xiu!!! You filthy man!!!"
Basil's angry voice echoed across the entire sky.
In the distant sea, Luo Xiu relied on the [Hand of Creation] to create whirlwinds beneath his feet, pulling Leila along as they walked on the water. Hearing Basil's voice coming from the camp, Luo Xiu couldn't help but smile slightly.
“Master, we didn’t listen to what Sister Basil had to say. She must be very angry.”
"Layla, if I had listened to what she said, I might not have been able to make up my mind to leave. I am actually a very soft-hearted person."
"What the master said makes a lot of sense."
……
After a while.
Dozens of miles away from the Knights of Rovanpu, in a sea area, beneath the surface of the sea, there exists a huge whirlpool formed by an undercurrent.
Through the enormous whirlpool, one can vaguely see a somewhat terrifying figure existing in the dark, sunless seabed.
At this moment, a Tier 3 Flood Lizard is attempting to enter the secluded monster camp through the whirlpool.
It slowly stretched out one foot and stepped into the whirlpool.
"Ah-"
The vortex spun faster, striking its rough legs like sharp blades.
But he completely ignored this level of harm.
Soon, he stepped inside.
"Leila, may I come in?"
Through the vortex, the Tier 3 Flood Lizard whispered to Leila outside the vortex.
That's right, this Tier 3 Flood Lizard was actually Luo Xiu disguised as [The Imposter from Another World].
Leila, on the other hand, concealed herself by using the intermediate-level invisibility potion that he had been refining day and night for the past few days.
"No problem, Master."
Leila spoke softly.
"Okay, then you stay on the outer edge of the vortex and wait for my signal."
"Okay, Master, please be careful."
After the two finished speaking, Luo Xiu moved his four legs and slowly swam towards the seabed.
All I can say is that the equipment designed by the teacher is truly a rare and ingenious artifact. Although Luo Xiu disguised himself as an amphibious creature like a water lizard, he did not feel any discomfort.
Moving all four feet is just like walking normally.
Soon, Luo Xiu approached the seabed.
Even though the light here was very dim, he could still see the scene in front of him clearly with his current eyesight.
In the dim seabed, a group of ferocious and terrifying figures were crawling about, some as small as horses, others as large as a black mountain.
Behind those figures, almost every one of them lay an ugly mermaid.
The seabed was dark and silent at this moment, with only faint, mysterious sounds like surging undercurrents. Occasionally, sharp, piercing sounds came from the darkness in the distance, like the gasps of some terrifying being.
This is the deepest part of the sea, a forbidden zone for all species except deep-sea creatures.
Luo Xiu's expression remained unchanged as he slowly approached the group of figures.
But before he could even reach the seabed, when he was still quite a distance away, two figures lurking in the shadows swam toward him.
"&*……%?(What did you go to do?)"
It was a fourth-tier water lizard, carrying a fourth-tier mermaid on its back.
"¥%# (went out for a walk.)"
Luo Xiu answered in the common monster language, which was the result of his intensive study over the past few days. With the help of the books in the Knights of Rovanpu and his current memory, he had learned the language to a great extent.
As he spoke, he slowly approached the fourth-tier Flood Lizard, tilting his head to expose his neck—a common way for Flood Lizards to show submission.
Upon hearing Luo Xiu's answer, a hint of doubt flashed in the large eyes of the fourth-tier swamp lizard.
It also approached Luo Xiu, using its keen sense of smell to sniff around him, but found nothing unusual.
"...&... (Don't wander around during this time!)"
It gave a reprimand, its voice not loud, because there were still its own kind living in the distance, including some of equal or even higher rank than itself, and it did not want to wake them.
"&(yes)."
Luo Xiu continued swimming towards the seabed, but just as he circled around to the side of the Flood Lizard, the mermaid behind the fourth-tier Flood Lizard slowly spoke:
"...&¥? (Where's your partner behind you?)"
"..."
Luo Xiu slowly turned his head and looked at the mermaid.
"...%¥# (died in the last battle.)"
The mermaid nodded and said nothing more.
Luo Xiu continued to move forward slowly, seemingly without any problems.
But in an instant, the long-prepared killing intent erupted from Luo Xiu's right hand, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, only to quickly subside and return to silence.
It was as if nothing had happened; the seabed remained completely silent, and all the monsters were fast asleep.
But the mermaid behind the fourth-tier swamp lizard had already climbed onto Luo Xiu's back, looking at Luo Xiu beneath her with terrified eyes.
From the outside, it appears to be a fourth-tier mermaid sitting on the back of a third-tier swamp lizard, but in reality, Luo Xiu's right hand is gripping her neck.
"Shh—keep your voice down. Like you said, I need a partner."
Luo Xiu's voice was barely audible, yet it rang in the mermaid's ear.
The mermaid twisted its head in fear, trying to shout to warn its sleeping companions, but the murderous hand on its neck rendered it unable to make a sound.
It didn't understand how Luo Xiu had noticed the anomaly.
Right after the questioning ended, it had already concluded that Luo Xiu was suspicious, but it didn't want to alert him. However, Luo Xiu suddenly made the first move.
The body of the fourth-tier water lizard beside him slowly sank towards the seabed.
It appears perfectly fine on the outside, but in reality, from its jawbone all the way down to its sternum, it has been completely reduced to fragments.
In the blink of an eye, it had become a corpse.
Luo Xiu's figure slowly changed, transforming into the appearance of that fourth-tier water lizard.
Chapter 248 Killing
The fourth-tier mermaid watched as Luo Xiu's appearance slowly transformed into that of his recently deceased companion, his gaze trembling.
Who exactly is this guy? Why did he infiltrate disguised as one of his own kind? And why did he directly attack his own kind?
These questions had been tangling in its mind, turning into a knotted mess of threads, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck it, and it remembered the message that had been emphasized over the past few days.
Be constantly vigilant against long-haired blond men and large, bear-like creatures, especially blond men. Report them immediately if you spot one.
Although the guy in front of me, who is disguised as a member of the same race, looks completely different from humans, his true appearance might just be that of the terrifying blond man that is rumored to be the most terrifying person in that race.
After all, it had heard that the clan's higher-ups had received information that the blond man's true identity was [God].
The word "God" alone represents supreme power; it's not surprising that it can change its appearance.
Although it didn't know much about the "gods," it had seen the "demons" who stood alongside the "gods" with its own eyes. Wasn't that adult in the black robe a "demon"?
Even those of the same race at the sixth or seventh rank were like ants before that great man, easily crushed, which is enough to illustrate the terror of the words "god" and "demon".
The thought that Luo Xiu had just killed its companion in an instant, without even knowing what had happened, made it swallow hard, its heart pounding wildly.
If Luo Xiu beneath them is truly the so-called "god," then their encampment is doomed today.
Luo Xiu ignored the inner thoughts of the mermaid he was holding; as long as it didn't make a sound and disturb the sleeping creatures, that was enough for him.
He suppressed the magical fluctuations within his body and slowly swam towards the figures crawling on the seabed.
It has to be said that the combination of the swamp lizard and the mermaid devised by the leaders of these monsters in the south is ingenious. If all the monsters were traveling alone, Luo Xiu felt that he could kill them all one by one without breaking a sweat.
But once they're paired together, he'll have to put in some effort to kill both the lizard and the mermaid silently in a single blow.
As his thoughts raced, he approached a Tier 3 Flood Lizard that was perched on the outermost edge of the enclosure.
Holding his breath and concentrating, he suppressed his inner turmoil and suddenly made his move.
With his strength approaching that of a sixth-tier opponent, he naturally faced no surprises when facing a third-tier opponent, and easily defeated it.
Apart from a barely perceptible cracking sound, drowned out by the mysterious underwater currents, there was no other sound.
The third-tier swamp lizard and the mermaid behind it peacefully ended their lives in their sleep, their neck bones turning pink and dying without any struggle.
Luo Xiu activated [Hand of Creation], summoning gurgling undercurrents to mask the lack of breathing sounds in this region.
Then, Luo Xiu approached the second, the third, the fourth...
Beside it, the mermaid watched in terror as Luo Xiu killed his fellow kin one by one. It wanted to shout to warn its sleeping kin, but the slightest hint of killing intent emanating from the large hand on its neck made it feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave, its whole body chilled and unable to move.
And so it watched helplessly as Luo Xiu slaughtered all its lower-ranking kin and slowly walked toward the area where its fifth-ranking kin were located.
The fifth rank is the highest rank of beings in this sentry post area.
The mermaid grew increasingly nervous. If even a fifth-tier cultivator couldn't stop this guy, they would be completely doomed.
It still clung to a last glimmer of hope: if it were a fifth-tier being, even if it couldn't defeat the creature before it, it should still be alert...
But soon, its gaze turned to shock.
The three fifth-tier water lizards in front of him were still sleeping peacefully, completely unaware of Luo Xiu's approach.
At this moment, Luo Xiu seemed to have transformed into a ghost in the deep sea, approaching step by step, ready to reap their lives.
