Chapter 4723: In Big Trouble

Did Long Qian truly believe that if she summoned the sea demon beast from the depths of the sacrificial sea abyss, it would automatically pledge allegiance to her?

That's just too naive and self-righteous.

Could this sea demon beast really distinguish between friend and foe, sparing the Long family members and specifically attacking Qiao Mu?

Wrong! It was an indiscriminate attack!

Just like now, the gigantic long tail curling up from the abyss of the seabed unleashed a furious strike. The boiling seawater, like surging heat waves, enveloped everyone.

Streams of water transformed into transparent arrows, piercing through the chests of numerous Long family members with several whooshes. Dozens of them were instantly riddled like beehives.

These Long family members stood rooted in place, their expressions stunned, then disintegrated in mere moments, swept away by the waves of heat.

Long Qian looked astonished, seemingly still not reacting.

It wasn't until Long Xiangyun suddenly cried out to her, "Grand-grandmother, your hand, your hand!"

Only then did she snap back to reality, glance down, and let out a scream.

Her hand had been silently dissolved by the scalding seawater without her noticing until Long Xiangyun's warning.

The main reason was that her entire body was in agony at that moment.

The amplified pain prevented her from noticing the change in her hand.

Long Xiangyun couldn't help but shiver, glancing at the boiling hot seawater around them.

"Let's go up, brother." This seawater had melted Grandmother's hand, and she didn't know if it would melt her Long Xiangyun's arms, legs, or even her head later.

This was simply too terrifying.

Could it be that the depths of this sacrificial sea abyss didn't just hide unmelting icebergs, but also magma volcanoes?

Long Xiangyun no longer wanted to stay in this strange place where fire and water mingled yet remained distinct.

"Ah, quick, defense, defensive spiritual artifact, defensive spiritual artifact, quickly cover me, cover me with a defensive spiritual artifact!" Long Qian shrieked.

Long Xiangyun's fingers trembled at the command, and she quickly activated a defensive spiritual artifact, enveloping her grandmother.

Long Qian immediately felt a little better.

At least the scorching sensation on her skin was alleviated.

The seawater was now an abnormal crimson red, like layers of heat waves, gradually shrinking their encirclement and closing in on them.

There was scalding, aggressive seawater all around, and an indiscriminately attacking sea demon beast at the bottom of the sea.

Long Xiangyun felt that such a situation was truly difficult.

She needed to go up, to quickly reach the surface, otherwise, she might truly perish here.

The more Long Xiangyun's mind raced, the more terrified and frightened she became.

Then she turned and cried out urgently again towards her brother, "Brother, let's go!"

Long Hui was wiser than Long Xiangyun; his expression was relatively calm. "Don't panic, Xiangyun. Just let a portion of your spiritual power circulate through your body, and you can resist this hot seawater."

The fundamental reason Grandmother's hand was dissolved by the oil-like seawater was that she seemed to have lost her body's ability to resist.

Long Hui glanced at Long Qian with great surprise.

Inside the defensive barrier, Long Qian curled up in agony, staring at her half-burnt, shriveled hand, wailing fiercely, her eyes blazing with distorted rage.

That Mu Qiao, insane, had stripped away the nine layers of spiritual water deep within her bones and dantian.

Leaving her a cripple now!

Her cultivation had plummeted, and she couldn't even activate a defensive barrier anymore.
