534: pattern

The waves that fell from the sky directly hit Jiang Xiaoyu, submerging him completely.

With the boost of this power, the trident in Jiang Xiaoyu's hand finally began to move slowly.

A light blue glow emanated from the waves, but in the next second, it brought out a splash of crimson.

A large amount of blood flowing in the water turned into a red ribbon, but it was quickly dispersed by the surging waves behind and melted into the water.

Five seconds later, the effect of "Raging Waves" ended, and the Earth Wyvern, soaking wet, reappeared in people's vision.

A large number of Mutated Creatures in the surrounding area were washed away, leaving only this Earth Wyvern in place.

"Where is he? Could he have been washed away by the waves?"

Some Professionals on the earth vein wall were puzzled, as they couldn't see Jiang Xiaoyu's figure at all at this moment.

But before they could voice their questions, they saw the accumulated water beneath the Earth Wyvern, which had not yet seeped into the ground, quickly turn red.

Immediately after, a blood-soaked figure suddenly climbed out from the Earth Wyvern's neck.

Jiang Xiaoyu spat out the blood in his mouth, conjured a ball of clear water to wash away the bloodstains on his body, and then let out a heavy sigh.

Just now, relying on the power of "Raging Waves," he directly opened a huge wound on the back of the opponent's neck, entered its body, and severed a large amount of its nerve tissue.

Although this big fellow looked intact, it was indeed dead.

Jiang Xiaoyu knew this clearly, because he had leveled up.

"I'll just call you Water Cut..."

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the gradually dissipating light blue glow on his trident, smiled, and then rushed towards the surrounding Mutated Creatures.

The battle was still ongoing; he had just killed one of the two strongest leaders among this group of dragon-transformed Mutated Creatures.

On the other side, Piao Jun almost exhausted all his mana to barely conjure a second Giant Whale to kill the other wyvern.

Gu Qinghan consumed mental power when using Whale Swallowing Sea Burial, but Piao Jun needed mana to activate it, as this was the effect of his Holy Skill.

And although Piao Jun paid a greater price to kill this wyvern, the two Giant Whales also killed a large number of surrounding Mutated Creatures, significantly reducing the pressure on the Professionals in the direction he was responsible for.

At this moment, the power of the Cleric was undeniably evident!

But no one noticed that after the dragon-transformed Mutated Creatures they killed died, a large amount of blood flowed from their wounds.

These bloodstreams gradually converged into small creeks, winding across the ground, and subtly outlined a circular pattern.

If someone were to look from high above, they would discover that the pattern formed by the blood seemed to resemble the eye of some creature.

A blood-red eye with a vertical pupil!

However, the battle was too intense, and the Mutated Creatures almost surrounded Whale Fall City impenetrable.

Many Professionals were injured by some Mutated Creatures with long-range attack capabilities and were immediately carried to the rear for treatment.

Gu Qinghan also left some honeydew that could restore injuries for them, but that was for saving lives, and it wasn't time for that yet.

This was already the effect of most members of Whale Fall City wearing equipment made from materials dropped by Oceanic Giant Whales; otherwise, the casualties in Whale Fall City would definitely have multiplied several times over.

But killing the two wyverns only eliminated the possibility of the earth vein wall being breached at a single point.

The constantly surrounding Mutated Creatures were like a tireless swarm of termites, which would eventually chew through these city walls.

"Uncle Jiang, it's up to you now; the wyverns have been killed.

The dragon-transformed Mutated Birds of Prey raised on the dragon perch platform can now join the battle, mainly to kill those long-range attacking beasts in the distance, otherwise, the pressure is too great."

Piao Jun, who had returned to the city, looked at Uncle Jiang, who had returned with Lu Chengfeng earlier. The latter also nodded at this moment and suddenly raised his hand, sending a bright light into the towering giant tree in Whale Fall City.

Suddenly, hundreds of Mutated Birds of Prey flew out from it, soaring rapidly into the distance.

These were all Mutated Birds of Prey he had helped Gu Qinghan raise on the dragon perch platform, and now he had no choice but to let them participate in the battle.

A Mutated Bird of Prey stopped in front of Uncle Jiang. A Professional holding a shield, along with Uncle Dave and the Professional who could create illusions, stood on it.

"Uncle Dave, let's go and protect our friends."

The Professional who created illusions patted Uncle Dave's shoulder, and a stream of light entered his body. Then the three ascended into the sky.

When they flew over the Mutated Creatures, Uncle Dave's expression suddenly turned terrified, and then he frantically began throwing seeds downwards.

After these seeds landed, they quickly grew into various Mutated Plants, continuously attacking the nearby dragon-transformed Mutated Creatures.

The Professional holding the shield watched the ground below with vigilance; his mission was to ensure that Uncle Dave would not be hit by long-range attacks from below.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized something, frowning as he stared at the battlefield below.

After watching for a few seconds, he suddenly spoke, asking the Professional who could create illusions:

"Look, the blood down there seems to have formed an eye pattern."

The other person looked down upon hearing this, and his brows also quickly furrowed.

Although the pattern on the ground was obscured by a large number of Mutated Creatures, one could still make out some outlines if they looked carefully.

The Professional who created illusions wiped the sweat from his face, his expression serious:

"We'll report this as soon as we get back; this is clearly not right."

The Professional holding the shield also nodded, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Don't be nervous; we can definitely turn danger into safety.

It looks like the situation has stabilized, and now it's going to be a protracted battle.

I was sweating because I just retreated from the front line. Why are you sweating from nervousness?"

He smiled kindly, trying to use this joking way to make the other person less nervous.

But the other person was stunned for a moment, then said:

"I'm not nervous. I'm very sensitive to heat, which is why I'm sweating.

It's also strange; you'd think it's winter already, so why is it still so hot?"

At this person's words, the Professional holding the shield was also taken aback.

He carefully felt around; it seemed that the surroundings were indeed a bit hot.

It wasn't obvious around Whale Fall City, especially when they flew into this area, his sweating began to increase.

"It seems... it's a bit unusually hot..."

They had a vague feeling of unease in their hearts, but the Mutated Birds of Prey beneath them were currently controlled by Uncle Jiang in the city, so they couldn't go back.

But after more than ten seconds, they realized something was wrong.

After the mention of temperature earlier, they paid extra attention to this matter.

They gradually flew from the edge of the huge pattern on the ground to a position closer to the center, clearly feeling that the temperature was even higher.

The two exchanged glances; at this point, they both realized something was amiss and, by unspoken agreement, waved towards the city.

The temperature here was already enough to make one feel a wave of heat!
