The two walked carefully along the edge of the pool. More and more crystals were embedded in the cave walls, and the light became brighter. They could vaguely see a stone platform across from the edge of the pool, with something seemingly placed on it.
Just then, a huge wave suddenly crashed into the pool, and black tentacles as thick as buckets shot out of the water and attacked Hu Mazi’s back!
“Be careful!”
David reacted very quickly, pushing Hu Mazi aside and simultaneously summoning the Dragon Slayer Sword. Golden sword energy swept out, splitting the tentacles in half.
Black blood spurted out, carrying a pungent fishy smell, and eroded small holes in the ground.
A sharp roar sounded from the pool, and countless black tentacles emerged from the water, like dancing giant pythons, and frantically attacked the two of them.
“It’s a demon dragon!”
Hu Mazi recognized the monster. “Ancient scriptures record that there is a guardian creature in the Burial Abyss that feeds on poisonous water. I never expected it to be hiding in this water pool!”
David’s eyes narrowed, and the Immortal Slayer Sword in his hand turned into a stream of light, continuously slashing at the invading tentacles.
But these tentacles seemed endless; once one tentacle was severed, another tentacle would immediately grow back, and with ever-increasing speed, forcing both tentacles to retreat repeatedly.
“This can’t go on; we need to find its true form!”
David shouted, releasing all his spiritual power. The golden shield expanded, repelling all the invading tentacles. “Mr. Hu, try using your jade pendant!”
Hu Mazi immediately raised the jade pendant above his head, and white light instantly radiated, illuminating the entire cave like a small sun.
The monster in the pool seemed very afraid of light; its roars became painful, and its tentacle attacks slowed.
“Succeed!”
Hu Mazi gasped and walked towards the center of the pool while holding up the jade pendant.
Wherever the white light passed, the black tentacles retracted into the water, and the dark green pool began to churn, as if something was about to rise from the bottom.
David seized the opportunity, darted to the edge of the pool, and released all his divine sense, finally locking the target on the huge figure at the bottom of the pool.
It was a giant black dragon, dozens of feet long, with a pair of curved horns on its head and eyes like two blood-red lanterns, staring fiercely at the two people on the shore.
“You beast, you are looking for death!”
David snorted coldly, and the Dragon Slayer Sword drew a golden arc in the air, slashing towards the pool with a momentum capable of destroying the world.
The sword energy fell into the water, giving rise to towering waves. The pool water parted to both sides like a piece of cloth being torn, revealing the huge body of the demon dragon covered in scales.
The demon dragon roared angrily, opened its huge mouth, and spat out a stream of black venom that swept towards David.
