The fish monster woke up after feeling the pain and struggled hard in Ye Li's hands.
Of course, Ye Li couldn't let it break free. With a force of his fingers, the fish monster was firmly fixed on Ye Li's palm.
I took a look at the cave in front of me. It was pitch black inside and my eyesight was limited, so I couldn't tell what was real or not.
After thinking about it, Ye Li threw the fish monster in his hand forward. A stream of water-based spiritual energy controlled the water flow and produced an impact force, directly pushing the fish monster in front of him out.
The monster that was pushed out quickly struggled out of the water. Its first reaction was to escape from the cave in front of it. However, Ye Li's figure had blocked the entrance of the cave. Naturally, the fish monster did not dare to rush out again, so it could only turn around and swim into the depths of the cave.
It was moving very fast and soon disappeared from Ye Li's perception along the water flow in the cave.
There is no light deep in the cave, but for deep-sea monsters, there are too many lightless environments, so their actions in most cases do not necessarily rely on the guidance of light.
The monster in the cave shuttles through the dark cave at an extremely fast speed. It can judge the surrounding terrain from the changes in the water flow.
Ye Li could barely do this, but it was obvious that he could not be as skilled as the fish monster in front of him. He was unwilling to use his spiritual power to explore the way because his spiritual power was extremely intimidating. If this passage really led to the pool, then Ye Li's spiritual power would definitely scare away the ancestor Xuanbing Earth Earthworm.
After waiting for the fish monster in front to disappear into the depths of the cave, Ye Li took out the crystal lamp and then restrained the spiritual energy fluctuations around him.
He was not worried that the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm would discover him, because he knew that the Black Ice Earthworm had almost no visual ability. The only reason it could detect his presence was because his walking caused the ground to vibrate.
The black ice earthworm can distinguish different individuals from the strength of vibrations, and can also smell odors.
Ye Li had just entered the cave and killed a lot of black ice earthworms. His footsteps and smell had been remembered by the black ice earthworms, so they knew very well that Ye Li was someone who should not be provoked.
When Ye Li entered the cave for the second time, they sensed Ye Li's footsteps and scent and dared not show their heads again.
Now that Ye Li is entering through the water, he will not cause the ground to shake, and his smell will be covered up by the fish monster in front of him with a damaged belly, so he is not worried about being exposed.
After all, the wound in the belly of the fish monster was very deep, and the fishy smell of its internal organs would fill the entire sea water with odor, so it should not be a problem to cover up the smell on Ye Li's body.
Ye Li, who was lighting up with a crystal lamp, did not move forward very fast. His goal now was very simple, which was to ensure that the injured fish monster would not retreat.
After walking for a long distance, Ye Li could vaguely feel waves coming from the surrounding water. It was obvious that he was not far from the fish monster.
According to Ye Li's estimation, his current location was not far from the pond and he might have already reached the vicinity of the pond.
The surrounding passages began to become narrower. Ye Li was able to pass through, but if it was a larger fish or monster, it would be difficult to pass through here.
This is also a restriction, preventing too powerful monsters from rushing into the pool of water ahead.
After all, the strength of the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm would not be that strong. If large fish monsters entered it, the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm might not be the opponent of these monsters.
The fish monster that Ye Li had just released had now reached the end of the waterway, which was the pool.
It could sense that Ye Li was approaching through the waves of the water. It wanted to swim away from here, but there was only a pool of water and there was no way to swim out.
The fish monster kept searching on the four walls, hoping to find a way to get in.
Blood was still oozing out of its abdomen. Although the wound had been forcibly compressed and shrunk a lot, it had not completely healed.
The fishy smell from the fish's internal organs spread throughout the entire pond, emitting a scent that would excite the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm.
When Ye Li was about to approach the pool of water, he stopped and did not move forward. He kept a certain distance from the pool.
Suspended in the water, he had gathered all his strength and hidden his aura within his body.
The smell of blood and internal organs continued to spread in the water and soon attracted the attention of the ancestor Xuanbing earthworm. This strong smell was something it extremely favored, and just smelling it could make it excited.
Normally, it eats the viscera of ordinary fish, which are very different from the viscera of low-level monsters.
The spiritual energy emanating from the monster's internal organs is not something that ordinary fish can possess. The flesh that has been warmed by the spiritual energy is definitely more to the taste of the Xuanbing Earth Earthworm.
After Ye Li waited in the water for about a quarter of an hour, the Ancestral Black Ice Earthworm finally could no longer control itself and slowly crawled out of the mud.
The ancestor black ice earthworm that drilled out of the soil was not in the cave, but on the rock wall next to the pool.
Although it is not a deep-sea monster, it is also a water and earth monster and has the ability to fight in water.
It stuck its head out of the water and sensed the fishy smell, which instantly filled its simple mind.
At this time, the ancestor Xuanbing Earthworm was completely controlled by instinct. He could not sense Ye Li's presence, so he rushed towards the injured fish monster at the first opportunity.
The moment Ye Li felt the movement, he began to move forward slowly. The water was filled with ripples created by the movement of fish and monsters, which could completely cover up the movement of Ye Li.
Soon, Ye Li swam to the entrance of the pool. At this moment, on the rock wall opposite him, a huge black ice earthworm that looked like a giant python crawled out of the soil.
It has a big mouth on its head, and tentacle-like things growing in many places all over its body. Ye Li took a closer look and found that these so-called "tentacles" were actually black ice earthworms that had not yet separated from its body.
After all, it is the ancestor Xuanbing earth earthworm. All Xuanbing earth earthworms split from it and then grew slowly.
From a certain perspective, the entire population of Xuanbing Earth Earthworms are actually clones of the Xuanbing Earth Earthworm itself.
The moment the Xuanbing Earthworm appeared, the surrounding earth and water forces were mobilized, and the two forces burst out, instantly forming a mud and rock torrent in the water. (To be continued)
