At some point, the boiling pool water had calmed down again, and the water surface became clear again. However, when Hu Yong looked down through the water, he saw a long black shadow swimming beneath the water like a dragon or a snake.
It seems to be sticking to the water surface, but upon closer inspection it seems to be hidden in the abyss, making it incomprehensible.
At this moment, a large black shadow suddenly rose from the bottom of the pool and suddenly approached the water surface, revealing its true form, which turned out to be an extremely huge purple-bearded dragon head.
Its eyes were tightly closed and its dragon beard was covered in blood, making it look extremely ferocious.
Hu Yong's eyes flashed with joy when he saw this. When he was about to say something, the dragon head's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a deathly green color in the eyes suddenly flashed.
In that instant of eye contact, the dragon head sank into the darkness and disappeared.
Hu Yong was standing on the water. Somehow, the whites of his eyes disappeared. Both eyes became as black as ink and the expression on his face became numb.
Although Shen Luo did not see anything unusual under the pond, he knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Hu Yong's appearance.
He struggled to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he was hit hard on the shoulder. His whole body sank and he fell back. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and it seemed that the bone was broken.
There was a flash of horror in Shen Luo's eyes, and he looked at Hu Yong beside him. With his eyesight, he couldn't see clearly how the other party came to his side in an instant.
However, to his surprise, after Hu Yong's attack, he did not kill him, but walked towards the pink lotus in the center of the pond with an expressionless face.
He came closer, staring at the lotus, his mouth suddenly stretched into a weird smile, and he raised his hand to bend the lotus stem.
From high in the sky, Lu Huaming saw this scene and his face changed immediately. He wanted to fly down to stop it, but unfortunately the ghost general blocked his way and forced him to retreat step by step, making it impossible for him to come over.
"Brother Jia Cheng, stop him quickly, you must not..."
Before Lu Huaming could finish his words, Shen Luo had already thrown out a thunder talisman and smashed it towards Hu Yong.
There was only a flash of light on the talisman paper, and before the lightning was released, a green light flashed in the center of the talisman paper, piercing through a hole and accurately destroying the key point of the rune.
The talisman paper immediately stopped burning, only flashing a white light for a moment, and all its power was lost immediately.
At the same time, Hu Yong's hand had already reached for the flower stem, and the seal was about to be broken!
However, the moment Hu Yong's palm touched the flower stem, something strange happened!
The pink nine-petal lotus suddenly darkened in color and turned into the scarlet red that Shen Luo had seen in his previous illusion.
"not good."
Shen Luo muttered to himself, not caring about the severe pain in his body at all, and almost used both his hands and feet to crawl out of the pond.
But it was too late. The nine petals of the scarlet fire lotus opened at the same time, and streams of red flames instantly burst out from one of them, turning into a sea of fire that engulfed Hu Yong and Shen Luo.
