On the other side of Fengbai Village lies the boundless black sea.
Just after spending half a day learning with Shui Rou in the morning, Huo Heng was already pushed out of his comfort zone in the afternoon, called to stand by at the coast.
Watching the surging black sea waves crash against the coastal rocks,
Huo Heng gulped.
At this moment, he suddenly somewhat understood the painstaking efforts of the village chief and the brothers of Flame Village.
How wonderful it is to be mindless!
Who needs a mind!
"Remember everything?" As Huo Heng was lost in his thoughts, Han Zhan walked up from the side and asked.
"I remember everything." Huo Heng quickly nodded seriously and solemnly.
"Hmm, not bad. You remembered everything in just half a day, your mind's not bad." Han Zhan praised generously.
Huo Heng: "..."
"You don't seem particularly happy."
"No, Lord Zhan, I just thought of something sad."
Back to the topic.
Having Huo Heng step in temporarily was indeed a last resort.
Time was pressing; the High Priest of Water Village had been preparing for much longer, scheming for years.
To turn the tables, they had to strike unexpectedly.
Hesitation would bring change!
Under the gaze of everyone, Huo Heng took a deep breath and silently recited the spell.
A pale blue light began to outline from beneath his feet, slowly condensing into the shape of an arrow.
The arrow began to slowly rotate and quickly stopped at a specific position!
The spell Shui Rou taught Huo Heng consisted of two types, one for tracking and the other for sea-breaking.
Normally, as a resident of Water Village, just casting the Tracking Spell would allow one to find the location of Water Village in the water.
But Han Zhan and the others couldn't do it.
Even if they managed to find the location of Water Village through tracking, they themselves couldn't reach the deep sea, rendering it meaningless.
Therefore, after successfully casting the Tracking Spell, Huo Heng rested for only a short while before casting the Sea Breaking Spell again.
The Sea Breaking Spell was dozens of times more difficult than the Tracking Spell, and Huo Heng clearly felt the tremendous pressure of the sea as he recited the spell!
Tens of thousands of tons of seawater seemed to weigh down on his heart.
Huo Heng firmly pressed his tongue against his teeth, ensuring he didn't mispronounce the spell, so his previous efforts wouldn't be in vain.
On his body, fierce flames spontaneously ignited, and within these fierce flames, pale blue light wrapped around him.
Such a bizarre scene, yet on Huo Heng completed a special balance.
"Open for me...!"
Huo Heng clenched his teeth tightly, the voice almost squeezed out through his teeth.
He mustered all his strength, and with his right hand, sharply pointed in the direction of the arrow!
With this gesture,
the entire pitch-black sea suddenly began to part slowly from the middle to both sides,
The water on both sides surged tens of thousands of feet high, yet after parting, it continued to fall straight down.
With Huo Heng's gesture, a dry path was carved out from the towering waves of the Black Sea!
A vast village land, from the distant seabed, appeared in front of everyone.
Water Village, found!
The sudden Sea-Opening Tracking left Water Village, which had been sunk to the seabed after the breaking of the Water Repelling Shield, with nowhere to hide. The villagers of Water Village, who had used the Water Transformation Technique to assume a water form, stood there dumbfounded.
Like human-shaped small fountains, somewhat amusing.
"Shui Rou, you're not dead?!"
"Shui Rou, you traitor, you dared to betray Water Village, betray the High Priest!"
The people of Water Village who had reacted vaguely saw the newcomers on the shore.
Other than Shui Rou, who else could have cast the Tracking Spell and the Sea Breaking Spell?
They began to curse out loud.
But because of the distance, the people on the shore couldn't hear what they were saying.
They must have said something, but by the time it reached the shore, it was just a buzzing murmur.
"Lord Zhan, Village Chief, how much longer? I can't hold on much longer!"
At this moment, Huo Heng, already drenched in sweat, spoke with difficulty.
With only a thin lineage from Water Village, managing to cast the Tracking Spell and the Sea Breaking Spell was already his limit.
Han Zhan and Huo Lie, along with Feng Pingcheng, nodded. "Let's make it quick!"
With a wave of Feng Pingcheng's hand, the three were each enveloped by a gust of wind, rapidly diving towards the seabed's Water Village.
Suddenly.
A loud, frantic dragon roar erupted from the depths of the pool in the center of Water Village, echoing to the heavens.
The sound of the dragon's roar made Han Zhan and the others' faces change dramatically!
...
Ten minutes earlier.
As Huo Heng began casting the Sea Breaking Spell, the High Priest of Water Village, deep beneath the sea, noticed something unusual.
She walked over to Yi Fan, her tone noticeably anxious.
"How much longer?!"
"Give me half a day more."
"There's no time; they've already found us. In a moment, they'll be here to kill us."
She had exhausted all her means. Not only her, but generations of High Priests had accepted the duty to pass on and protect the Divine Dragon, working tirelessly for generations, all for resisting the coming of the mortal peril.
Clearly having killed Shui Rou, why couldn't they escape fate!
The High Priest of Water Village thought to herself, her eyes filled with unwillingness,
Hearing the High Priest's urging, Yi Fan suddenly paused.
At this moment, his eyes shone with all kinds of strange and demonic lights, these lights recombining and reshaping, with myriad changes flickering.
He turned to look at the anxious and unwilling High Priest, a familiar smile appearing on his face.
"I've already 'deceived' the binding seal enough, and half a day is needed to weave a substitute sealed object using lies."
"They found this place early, disrupting our original plan. However..."
Yi Fan, saying this, suddenly stood straight.
"However, I have another way."
"What way?!"
"Use you as the new 'sealed object', to replace and release the Evil Dragon, completing a full 'lie deception'."
An imagined "sealed object" is, of course, not as good as a real one.
The High Priest of Water Village, being a Tier Seven Water Element strongman with special ties to the Evil Dragon, would be an excellent material for the lie.
If Yi Fan had suggested this from the start, the High Priest would definitely not have agreed.
However, now.
A flash of determination and ruthlessness crossed her eyes, and in the High Priest legacy she received, the memories and imagery related to guarding the Divine Dragon flashed in her mind one by one.
A moment later, her gaze became incomparably firm.
"Fine!"
"Use me as the 'sealed object', deceive the binding seal, replace it with the Divine Dragon, and let it regain its freedom!"
"I, Shui Hongjun, High Priest of Water Village, am duty-bound!"
Her tone was fervent, mad, making Yi Fan take an interested second look at her.
He nodded, his imaginary hands moving in the direction of the High Priest of Water Village.
"Then let's proceed."
Ten minutes later.
As the black sea had a path carved out and Han Zhan and the others' figures rapidly approached from a distance,
An elderly woman was tightly restrained by three chains, her face contorted in painful expressions fluctuating continuously.
The massive shadow of a creature surged from the deep pool.
The Evil Dragon descends!
