Chapter 326 He said he wanted to see you
Yu Mo and Chi Miao, who were underwater, also encountered a honey trap.
This test will test your willpower.
Fortunately, neither Ao Shuang, Yu Mo, nor Chi Miao are characters who can be easily deceived.
They are resolute and have clear goals. After a brief period of turmoil, they remain steadfast in their principles and unmoved by external influences.
The sweet fragrance gradually faded, and the alluring figure and song disappeared like the receding tide.
This period of calm lasted a little longer.
Just when Yuan Xiao thought there might not be any new "programs" for the time being, the scene in front of her changed dramatically once again.
At the edge of what was once an endless expanse of sea, a continuous landmass suddenly appeared.
The outline became clearer and clearer, revealing towering peaks, dense forests, winding rivers flowing into the ocean, and even wisps of smoke rising from the foot of the mountains, creating a peaceful and serene scene.
The sunlight shone on that "land," making it appear warm and full of life.
This is a mirage.
This time, the temptation is the safe land, a home to rest in.
For the orcs who were crossing dangerous waters and were on edge, a suddenly appearing, seemingly safe "island" was undoubtedly a huge source of psychological comfort and temptation.
Ao Shuang's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at the "land" that was getting closer and closer, and her heart skipped a beat.
For a fleeting moment, he even had the illusion that "we've already arrived at Moon Reef?"
But he immediately and forcefully suppressed the thought.
He also remembered Chi Miao saying that "Sea Feast" might create the illusion of a safe island.
He stared intently at that "land," and his exceptional eyesight allowed him to gradually detect some unnatural details.
The mountain peaks had overly sharp edges, the forest colors were somewhat monotonous, and the light and shadow on the water were rather dull…
Most importantly, he couldn't feel the "human presence" that the "land" should have; it was more like a beautiful but illusory painting.
"Fake!"
Ao Shuang let out a low growl, both as a reminder to herself and to them.
Without hesitation, he changed course, deviating from the original route that pointed to that "land" and choosing to bypass it from a great distance.
The lifelike mirage stood silently in front of them, as if mocking them for taking the detour.
Only when they had completely left it far behind did the illusion slowly disappear like a bubble, revealing the empty sea surface behind them once more.
Having successfully navigated four layers of tempting traps, both Ao Shuang and Yuan Xiao in the air, and Yu Mo and Chi Miao underwater, felt somewhat exhausted.
These traps are not direct attacks, but they require constant vigilance and unwavering will to resist, and the cost is considerable.
Ao Shuang slowed down a bit and paused for breath.
Yuan Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief and stretched her somewhat stiff arms.
However, this peace was soon broken.
Ahead, on the right side of their route, about several tens of meters away, there was a sudden, soft "splashing" sound on the sea.
A fish leaped out of the water.
It has a slender and smooth body with beautiful lines.
Most remarkably, its pectoral fins are exceptionally well-developed and wide, resembling two translucent wings with silver veins.
It glided through the air for several meters, its movements light and agile, before falling back into the water with hardly any splash.
The sunlight illuminated its form; it was a female flying fish.
She was pretty and clean-cut, with large, beautiful amber eyes that were clear yet held a hint of curiosity and cunning.
She looked quite young, with a youthful appearance on her face.
Her upper body was covered with fine silver scales, while her lower body was a flowing fish tail, which seemed more powerful and agile.
Aoshuang's wings subconsciously adjusted their angle, turning Yuan Xiao slightly as it tried to go around her to the more open sea to her left.
However, the female flying fish also adjusted its hovering position as they moved, still blocking their way at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
The head of the python-transformed black mamba silently broke through the water's surface, its cold, serpentine eyes locking onto the flying fish.
He didn't fully reveal his body, but the chilling aura of a top predator had already spread out.
"Please move aside."
Yu Mo's voice came through the water and sea breeze, deep and direct, without any beating around the bush.
The female flying fish seemed startled by Yu Mo's sudden appearance and icy aura. Her pectoral fins vibrated faster, but she did not back down. Instead, she blinked her large amber eyes, a slightly playful smile on her face, and said in a clear voice, "Don't be so fierce. I'm just here to deliver a message."
As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily lingered on the part of Yu Mo's body that was above the water.
The smooth, powerful black curves, the cold, mysterious scales, and those emotionless vertical pupils all gave her eyes a strange glint.
"Speak." Yu Mo's response was only one word, brief and devoid of any emotion.
The female flying fish gently swayed her tail, creating ripples, and swam a little closer to Yu Mo. Her voice softened as she said, "Handsome and aloof, I like your type."
These words were bold and straightforward, carrying the frankness and enthusiasm unique to female flying fish.
Upon hearing this, Yu Mo tilted his head slightly, his cold gaze falling on the delicate face of the female flying fish.
He gave a very slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, a smile devoid of warmth, instead carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
“Speak properly.” Yu Mo’s voice remained calm, yet it was like a knife chilled to the bone. “The last person who spoke to me like that has been torn to shreds by me.”
The female flying fish's smile froze instantly, and her playful expression vanished without a trace.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, and her amber eyes were filled with fear.
She could even feel the scales all over her body trembling slightly under that killing intent.
In a panic, she flailed her tail and pectoral fins, and with a "whoosh," she retreated more than ten meters, widening the distance between herself and Yu Mo. Her chest heaved violently as she stared at Yu Mo, still shaken, no longer daring to make any frivolous moves or utter any words.
“It’s…it’s our boss…” The female flying fish’s voice trembled slightly, and she spoke much faster, “He said he wanted to meet you.”
Chi Miao, who had been on guard, also surfaced slightly, revealing his upper body, his brows furrowed: "See us?"
The female flying fish calmed herself down, tried to compose herself, and extended a webbed finger, pointing to the snow eagle Soaring Frost hovering above.
"To be precise, I want to see the person on the bird's back."
She added that there was still a lingering fear of Yu Mo in her eyes.
Yu Mo's eyes instantly turned even colder, and the surrounding seawater seemed to drop several degrees.
"Tell him not to cause trouble."
