172: Silver Armor Zombie

Wang Sicong looked at the compass in his hand and explained to Li Xiaoyao, "This is a Sinan compass, which can guide us and prevent us from getting lost in the Nether Sea Region. The Qi here is strange, and ordinary sense of direction will probably be ineffective. With this Sinan compass, we can ensure our direction of travel."

Li Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with appreciation upon hearing this, and he said, "Brother Wang, your consideration is thorough. With this compass, we can indeed avoid many detours."

Wang Sicong smiled slightly and put away the Sinan compass. He looked up at the deep black sea ahead, secretly vigilant. He knew that the real challenge had just begun, and the path ahead would be full of unknowns and dangers.

The two exchanged glances and nodded to each other, then moved and flew towards the depths of the Nether Sea Region. As they went deeper, the surrounding air became increasingly oppressive, and the concentration of nether energy grew higher. Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao both tightly circulated their magic power to resist the erosion of this strange Qi.

Along the way, they encountered many Yao Beasts unique to the Nether Sea Region. These Yao Beasts were powerful and carried nether energy, making their attacks exceptionally fierce.

The Netherworld Beasts here were different from the Yao Beasts in the great sea. Their Physical Bodies were not only strong, but their attacks also carried the strange power of nether energy, making them impossible to guard against. Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao worked together to repel these Yao Beasts one by one.

After repelling each Yao Beast, the two would stop to rest briefly, checking their injuries and the wear and tear on their Magic Treasures. They knew that in the Nether Sea Region, even a slight oversight could lead them to a point of no return.

As they delved deeper, the surrounding scenery became increasingly eerie. The seawater turned as black as ink, as if it could swallow all light. And the nether energy permeating the air made people feel an indescribable oppression.

The two had only just entered the outer reaches of the Nether Sea Region, and Golden Core Realm Netherworld Beasts were already appearing. These Netherworld Beasts were powerful, and even with Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao working together, they felt a hint of pressure. As they went deeper, they would encounter even more powerful Netherworld Beasts, and even Nascent Soul Realm Netherworld Beasts were not impossible.

Therefore, the two proceeded more cautiously, constantly vigilant of their surroundings. They knew that in the Nether Sea Region, besides Netherworld Beasts, there were other dangers awaiting them.

Sure enough, as they advanced, they suddenly encountered a strange mist. This mist seemed to block all perception, preventing Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao from sensing what was ahead.

Meanwhile, on an island in the Nether Sea Region unknown to the two, a Nether General, clad in silver armor, with no trace of blood on his face, and wearing silver battle robes, was quietly observing Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao's movements.

His eyes gleamed with a ghostly green light, as if he could penetrate the mist and see their figures.

This Nether General exuded the strength of a Peak third-stage flying zombie. The reason he observed the two was because Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao had killed his Netherworld Yao pet when they entered this place.

This Netherworld Yao pet was something he had cultivated with countless efforts, but now it had been killed by Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao, filling his heart with anger and murderous intent.

He coldly watched their figures, having already made up his mind to kill these two here to vent his hatred.

At this moment, Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao were in the mist. They could not perceive what was ahead and could only proceed by the direction indicated by the Sinan compass.

They knew that this mist was full of unknowns and dangers, and they had to remain vigilant at all times.

Wang Sicong tightly gripped the Magic Treasure in his hand, always ready to deal with potential dangers.

Li Xiaoyao, on the other hand, had a solemn expression. His perception was much stronger than Wang Sicong's, and he had already sensed the dense nether energy permeating the surrounding air, as well as the faint murderous intent.

He whispered to Wang Sicong, "Brother Wang, be careful. There might be an ambush in this mist."

Wang Sicong's expression also changed upon hearing this. He knew that Li Xiaoyao's strength and perception were not to be underestimated, and since he said so, he must have sensed something.

As Lin Feng's Incarnation, Wang Sicong's strength and talent were not as powerful as his main body. The main body had various entries blessings, which he did not have, so it was normal for him not to detect the crisis before Li Xiaoyao.

Thus, the two proceeded even more cautiously, always ready to deal with potential dangers.

Just then, a sharp Sword Qi suddenly came from within the mist, aiming directly at Wang Sicong's vital point.

Wang Sicong was greatly alarmed. He had not expected there to truly be an ambush within this mist.

He quickly circulated his magic power, dodging to the side, narrowly avoiding the Sword Qi. At the same time, he quickly summoned a Magic Treasure, a profound iron shield, which spun and flew in front of him, protecting himself.

Li Xiaoyao, on the other hand, moved and appeared at the source of the Sword Qi. He saw a mysterious person clad in a black robe and wearing a mask, standing there, holding a gleaming longsword.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the mysterious person and said coldly, "Your Excellency, who are you? Why are you ambushing and attacking us here?"

The mysterious person chuckled and said, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you two killed my Netherworld Yao pet. Today, you must pay the price for it."

Wang Sicong suddenly understood upon hearing this. It turned out that this mysterious person was the Nether General, and the reason he was ambushing them here was to retaliate for their killing of his Netherworld Yao pet.

Wang Sicong took a deep breath and said to the Nether General, "Your Excellency, we two have no intention of being your enemies. We merely stumbled into this place, and killing your Netherworld Yao pet was an act of necessity. Now, we are willing to compensate you for your loss, only asking that you let us leave."

The Nether General, however, laughed heartily upon hearing this, saying, "Compensation? Do you think a mere compensation can make me let you go? Today, you two must die here."

With that, he moved and attacked Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao. The longsword in his hand carried a sharp Sword Qi, as if to kill them both here.

Seeing this, Wang Sicong and Li Xiaoyao also moved, meeting the Nether General. A great battle was about to erupt.
