Facing these human-faced fish beasts, there was no trace of fear in Ye Xiang's eyes. Instead, there was only excitement for the battle.
Once the battle began, the Human Immortal Pattern would automatically start branding the sixth layer of the Immortal Pattern.
The water bomb attacks spat out by these human-faced fish beasts couldn't even be shattered by the Golden Light Spell, let alone injure Ye Xiang, who had a Human Immortal Body.
He formed a sword finger with his hand. With his deeper understanding of the Golden Light Spell, he could now condense the Golden Light Spell into a three-foot-long sword body.
Even in the water, it didn't affect his speed too much. By using the Qingfeng Sword Technique, one after another of the human-faced fish beasts fell in front of him.
Ye Xiang, who had reached level 15, found it quite easy to deal with these level 18 strange beasts. While fighting, his eyes were always on those two level 20 human-faced fish beasts.
Sure enough, these two human-faced fish beasts seemed to have evolved a bit of intelligence. They had been hiding among the others and would try to launch a sneak attack from time to time.
Just as Ye Xiang slew another human-faced fish beast, those two level 20 creatures suddenly charged towards him.
They opened their mouths and spat out ice spikes that were like blue crystals, and the speed was extremely fast!
But Ye Xiang, who had already been on guard, reacted immediately. He instinctively tried to dodge, but unfortunately, his movement speed in the water wasn't that fast. So he had to raise his arms, and a layer of golden light covered them.
Slap!
The two ice spikes hit the Golden Light Spell. It was clearly weakened by one layer and then pierced through, stabbing hard into his arms.
The Human Immortal Pattern immediately appeared, easily blocking the ice spikes outside his body. But he still felt a pain as if he had been pricked by an awl.
After breaking the skin a little, the two ice spikes then dissipated.
Ye Xiang raised his eyebrows and looked at those two level 20 human-faced fish beasts with great interest. Not bad, they had actually broken through his defense, even if it was just a little bit of skin.
He condensed the golden light long sword in his hand again. With a flash of his figure, he seized this opportunity and instantly charged towards those two human-faced fish beasts.
These two creatures were extremely cautious. He hadn't had a chance to catch them before, and now he definitely wouldn't let them go.
When the two human-faced fish beasts saw Ye Xiang charging towards them, a trace of fear finally appeared in their eyes. Without saying a word, they turned around and tried to run.
But Ye Xiang had already caught up. The golden light long sword instantly pierced through the back of one of them, and then he raised his hand and grabbed the tail of the other human-faced fish beast.
With a flash of golden light, the huge head of the human-faced fish was directly chopped off.
The turbid liquid mixed with the lake water, but under those merciless golden eyes, there was no fear at all.
On the surface of the lake, Shen Youwei could vaguely see that familiar flash of golden light, and there was a hint of worry on her face.
Song Xinrui, who was beside her, comforted her, "Don't worry. Classmate Ye is really amazing. He could slay a level 16 two-headed rotting snake when he was at level 12. Now he has reached level 15. Most of the fish beasts in this lake are around level 20. They won't pose a threat to him."
Upon hearing this, Shen Youwei came to her senses and asked with some confusion, "When did you see Ye Xiang slay that level 16 two-headed rotting snake?"
"In the Virtual Realm. The records on the school's arena ranking list have been updated. It was just a few days ago," Song Xinrui said.
Shen Youwei silently looked at that flash of golden light underwater upon hearing this.
She knew that Brother Ye had always been amazing.
Soon, the credit scores of the three of them began to change again, increasing by dozens of points at a time. Before long, Ye Xiang emerged from the water carrying the corpses of the two level 20 human-faced fish beasts. His handsome face and perfect upper body muscles immediately made the two girls' faces turn slightly red. Set off by the faintly visible Human Immortal Pattern, he looked even more mysterious and powerful.
After Ye Xiang came ashore, he threw the corpses in front of the wild boar and the little rotting snake and said, "The human-faced fish beasts in this area have all been dealt with. We can safely gather the fish schools now."
The human-faced fish beasts were like the previous scavengers. They were aliens in the water and almost had no natural enemies. If they wanted to catch the delicious fish, they had to clean up these creatures.
Looking at the wild boar and the little rotting snake gobbling up the food, Song Xinrui explained, "Classmate Ye, they won't level up anymore. They will be restricted by my level. It's useless to feed them more."
Ye Xiang shook his head. "It's okay. Even if there is a level suppression for summoned beasts, the more they eat, the more they will still evolve, right? It's just that the process will be much slower."
The wild boar nodded while eating. This hateful guy still had a bit of conscience.
"Thank you." Song Xinrui didn't know what else to say, so she could only say this.
"Why say these things? The stronger your summoned beast is, the more it will enhance the team." Ye Xiang casually waved his hand and his gaze fell on her fishing rod. "The corpse of the alligator snapping turtle can attract a lot of fish beasts. You can cast the rod now."
"Okay, got it."
Song Xinrui hung the bait properly and threw the special fishing rod into the water.
Ye Xiang, on the other hand, sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to meditate and practice, not letting go of any time.
After the previous battle, the branding of the sixth layer of the Immortal Pattern had already started. At this time, actively meditating for branding made the speed increase a lot again.
I don't know if it was because of the beautiful ecological environment here, but the speed at which Ye Xiang branded the Immortal Pattern was actually a bit faster than when he branded the fifth layer.
A few hours passed quietly. Song Xinrui caught one strange-looking fish after another, and both she and Shen Youwei were very happy, as if they almost forgot that it was still the time of the college entrance examination.
But soon, as there were more and more fish here, a larger group of human-faced fish beasts was attracted again not far away, staring fixedly at this place.
Deeper in the lake, a larger shadow slowly swam towards this side.
The fish were extremely vigilant and immediately fled in a hurry, but they were still a step too late. Dozens of human-faced fish beasts appeared at the same time, rushed up quickly, and began to gnaw on the fish.
On the originally calm lake surface, a pure killing scene of the ecological chain was staged. One fish after another struggled and fled, but in the end, they were still eaten.
This scene made Shen Youwei and Song Xinrui a little scared.
At this time, Ye Xiang slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "It's almost time to reap the rewards."
Of course, they didn't come here just to fish. Earning points was the purpose.
These human-faced fish beasts should be all the ones in the entire lake.
Without any hesitation, the Human Immortal Pattern appeared on his body. After standing up, he directly jumped into the lake, not fearing the strange and dangerous things in the lake water at all.
Shen Youwei immediately cast a layer of the Moon Goddess's Blessing on Ye Xiang, and Song Xinrui also quickly let the little rotting snake dive into the water to help Ye Xiang.
Just like before, a golden light appeared on Ye Xiang's body. In the water, these human-faced fish beasts around level 20 simply couldn't defeat him, and one by one, they were forcefully killed by him.
Soon, the scores of the three of them exceeded 500 points, and they were still increasing rapidly.
However, at this moment, Shen Youwei, who was a Moon Sprite Priest, had an especially strong perception of the natural environment. She seemed to sense that something was wrong, and she looked at the distant water surface with lingering fear.
Although she didn't see anything, she immediately transformed into the Moon Sprite form and flew upwards.
After she came to the mid-air, as soon as she took a look, she clearly saw that there was a huge shadow more than ten meters long at the bottom of the lake, gradually approaching Ye Xiang, who was fighting with the human-faced fish beasts!
