312: 273 312: 273 “The crystal that boosts ntal attributes shouldn’t be the core of elental spirits like the Lord of Flas!
Given the strength of those creatures that previously entered this Ancient Ruins Space, I don’t think they had the ability to deal with such powerful beings.” Zhou Tian, having vented all his negative emotions after the previous battle, had regained his usual calm.
After dismissing all the extraneous thoughts in his mind, he once again thought about finding the special crystal.
After wandering for so ti, Zhou Tian found himself near a lake unknowingly.
The terrain in this part of the Ancient Ruins Space was either mountainous or filled with lakes; sothing like plains was relatively rare.
Approaching that lake, Zhou Tian didn’t pay much attention to it, as it seed nothing out of ordinary to him.
Zhou Tian had passed similar lakes nurous tis before and never encountered danger.
Hence, even though the lake seed larger, it did not concern him much.
However, while he casually approached the lake, it seed he had forgotten sothing important.
His safe past experiences were rely because the elental spirits had not decided to attack him yet.
Now, it was clear these elental spirits had started to take action, and the previous Fire Lord was certainly not a special case.
As such, it was not surprising to encounter an attack near the lake, just like there was one near the volcano previously.
“Splash…” As Zhou Tian was lost in his thoughts, the sound of water splashing suddenly ca from not far away.
Zhou Tian didn’t pay much attention at first, as it was normal to hear water sounds near the lakeside.
However, as the sound of water grew louder, Zhou Tian instinctively looked in the direction of the noise.
“Holy cow!” Zhou Tian was startled when he turned and saw a wave three to four ters high rolling next to him.
Without any hesitation, he slapped on his bear cub mount and hurried away from the spot.
As a result, Zhou Tian had left the area before the huge wave hit the ground, and he wasn’t injured.
But the huge wave was nothing more than a prelude.
Even though Zhou Tian had escaped from that area, his trouble was far from over.
The surge must have been caused by an elental spirit’s power, most likely from a water elental spirit.
Given the tactics of these elental spirits, being near the lake allowed them to efficiently exert their strength.
As long as Zhou Tian did not move far away from that lake, he would have to face the threat of these water elent beings.
Having fully witnessed the power of these elental spirits, Zhou Tian honestly had no desire to engage them in combat anymore.
However, the nearby lake was quite expansive, and it won’t be easy for Zhou Tian to leave the territory of the water elent beings quickly.
Under such circumstances, it seed he had no better choice than to face the situation head-on.
“Splash!” After Zhou Tian assud a defensive stance, a large group of water spirits were left on the land as the tide receded.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Tian felt his scalp tingle.
Compared to what he faced at the volcano, the water spirits before him were nothing to sneeze at.
The volcano was extrely destructive, and coupled with the destructive powers of the elent creatures there, their attack power was probably far stronger than the water beings.
However, considering the current situation, Zhou Tian would rather confront the fire elent beings than engage in battle with these water spirits.
The killing power of these water elent beings wasn’t that great; even if the tide had hit Zhou Tian, it would not pose a threat to his life.
But with the advantage these water creatures held, Zhou Tian found facing them sowhat tricky.
Zhou Tian didn’t fear those with strong attack powers.
Given the difference in their strength, he never believed that these elental spirits could pose much of a threat to him.
Thus, even when facing their attacks, he could easily slay them.
What Zhou Tian feared happened: these elental spirits did not allow him to get close.
Zhou Tian couldn’t approach the lava, and similarly, he couldn’t disregard the lake.
Given Zhou Tian’s strength, falling into the lake wouldn’t be lethal, but if he were to fall in, facing those elental spirits, he might not be able to defend himself.
The water elent beings, facing Zhou Tian, chose to back themselves against the lake.
This ant that whenever Zhou Tian got close, they could retreat into the lake, and no matter how strong Zhou Tian was, he wouldn’t pose any threat to them.
Facing such a situation where he could only be beaten, but had no way to counterattack, Zhou Tian was naturally in quite a bad mood.
If not for the situation of the large lake in front of him, where he feared he would be severely injured before leaving the attack range, he might have already ordered Baby Bear to carry him and flee.
Yet, while Zhou Tian was deliberating on whether to launch an attack on the water elental spirits, they showed no hesitation and imdiately launched an offensive after forming their battle lines.
“Whoosh…” Waves of water magic were shot towards Zhou Tian under the command of the elental spirits.
Concentrating the lake water created sothing akin to a huge wave that rushed towards Tian.
Without any surprise, Zhou Tian smacked Baby Bear onto its back and chose to retreat directly at that mont.
Although it wasn’t easy for Zhou Tian to retreat from the battle situation, he didn’t have the ability to block such an attack.
Although the attack wasn’t terribly lethal, Zhou Tian still wouldn’t take it head-on.
In the midst of Baby Bear’s mad dash, the elental spirits’ attacks chased after them for a while.
Aside from so marginal attacks that hit Zhou Tian, most of them wound up missing their mark.
“Back off a little more, if you leave that lake, I’ll teach you a lesson.” Zhou Tian had so intentions, even though he had no way against the water elental spirits at this point.
But Zhou Tian believed that if he could lure them away from the lake, they wouldn’t be able to rely on it for protection.
Even if the elental spirits didn’t fall for it, as long as he kept increasing their distance, at least they would be far from the lake.
Under these circumstances, if they didn’t take the bait, Zhou Tian would just retreat and evade, believing that based on his abilities, these elental spirits would not be able to stop him.
However, just when Zhou Tian thought his plan would work, those elental spirits ca up with counterasures imdiately.
Sohow, while they were chasing Zhou Tian, a tide burst out of the lake and spread all across the ground.
The effect wasn’t fully achieved, but as long as the tide was there, those elental spirits were still connected to the lake.
Hence, Zhou Tian still couldn’t launch an attack.
Zhou Tian would not act without opportunity.
Against these elental spirits, he wouldn’t strike until he had a sure-fire plan.
Given their ability to swiftly retreat, if Zhou Tian wasn’t completely able to hold them back, it seed pointless to undergo a fight that had no gains.
In the end, facing the attack of the water elental spirits, Zhou Tian could only keep retreating.
After suffering minor injuries all over, he finally managed to pull these elental spirits several miles away from the lake shore.
The distance wasn’t far, but these few miles were enough to change many things.
At least with Zhou Tian’s ability, he was confident enough to keep so of the elental spirits behind.
As soon as he got the idea, Zhou Tian imdiately took action.
He held so resentnt against those elental spirits.
After being passively attacked all the ti, he could hardly harbor any goodwill towards them.
So, seeing that he finally had a chance to counterattack, and fearing that they might retreat, Zhou Tian decided not to wait anymore.
When the thought entered his mind, Zhou Tian decisively launched his action.
