Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 45 Throw yourself into a trap?

The mermaid has the vast ocean at her back, and her attack is as continuous as the tide.

She danced her arms lightly, and several ten-meter-high waves hit the shore one after another. There was a sharp ice blade hidden in each wave.

Qingning moved quickly on the beach, waving his fox claws to create a sand wall, blocking all incoming attacks.

"Is this all you can do?" Qing Ning raised a provocative smile, and nine fluffy fox tails suddenly opened up like a peacock spreading its tail.

Each tail glowed with dazzling golden light, drawing nine gorgeous tracks under the moonlight.

The tail has always been the fox's important killing weapon. Her hard power is stronger than that of the fishman, but this place is too close to the sea, and she cannot defeat the opponent in a short time.

The first tail swept across, and the strong wind it brought directly split the sea surface into a gully; the second tail lashed at the mermaid's face like a whip; the third tail strangely circled to the back to block the retreat. The remaining six tails formed a net that blocked all the mermaid's evasive angles.

The mermaid's purple eyes suddenly shrank. Feeling this attack, she knew that if she took it head-on, she would suffer a loss.

Her body suddenly turned into a pool of sea water and disappeared, but her real body appeared ten meters away.

"You dodged so quickly!" Qing Ning snorted, but the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack continued unabated.

The mermaid was forced to perform water escape techniques continuously, leaving a series of afterimages on the sea.

However, the moment she resurfaced——

"Whoosh!"

A black light shot out from the shadow of the reef like lightning!

The sand scorpion's tail stinger, quenched with dark green venom, struck the mermaid in the back. Although the mermaid dodged sideways at the critical moment, the stinger still grazed her left arm, leaving a string of blood beads.

"Despicable! A sneak attack!" The mermaid felt pain and glared at Qingning angrily.

On her fair arm, a tiny wound was oozing light blue blood.

Qingning spread out his paws innocently: "This is none of my business"

The mermaid said nothing more, turned around, and dived into the deep sea. Her figure flashed a few times in the azure waters before quickly disappearing.

"Chase! Don't let her run away!" Qin Xiaonan gave the order immediately. He didn't want the mermaid to run away like this.

Qingning and Shayinxie jumped into the turbulent sea at the same time.

The moment he entered the water, Qingning felt his whole body sink, and his originally light figure became much slower.

The sand scorpion fared no better. Its prized sand armor became incredibly heavy in the water, and its six legs' paddling movements became noticeably stiff. Its deadly tail stinger, slowed considerably by the water's resistance, was no longer as potent as it was on land.

"Don't worry, it's been poisoned by my toxin and won't be able to get far." The Sand Scorpion conveyed the message to Qingning, with full confidence in his voice, "The toxin will flow through the blood throughout the body, and the effect will take effect in a quarter of an hour at most."

Qingning explored the scent left by the mermaid in the water.

There were a few strands of light blue blood floating in the sea water, which were the traces left by the mermaid after she was injured. The two desert demons immediately accelerated to chase after her.

……

The sea surface gradually returned to calm, leaving only a few circles of ripples that gradually spread.

Qin Xiaonan stood quietly on the shore, looking towards the sea where Qingning and the Sand Scorpion disappeared.

Time passed minute by minute, and the lighthouse in the distance had lit up the third beam of light, but Qingning did not return.

And from the marks left by the Tsar on them, we know that they seem to be circling in the distant sea. At this moment——

"Wow!"

A huge wave exploded in front of Qin Xiaonan without warning! He hurriedly retreated, only to see the mermaid slowly rising from the whirlpool.

Although the wound on her left arm was still there, it had returned to a pearly white color. How could there be any sign of poisoning?
The Sand Scorpion's poison was actually ineffective against her. You should know that the Sand Scorpion's poison attack is one of the best in the entire Sahara Demon Empire.

The mermaid's slender fingers gently stroked the wound, and her cherry lips curled up in a sarcastic arc.

Her red lips opened and closed, and the words she spoke turned into a string of crystal bubbles: "Do you think we sea people are afraid of land poisons?"

But Qin Xiaonan couldn't hear what she said.

But looking at the other party's expression, it seemed as if he was mocking them.

In fact, as early as the moment the Sand Scorpion launched a sneak attack, the mermaid had already sensed the crisis through the sound wave vibrations caused by the tail needle breaking through the air.

The mermaids are born with the gift of "sea ears", have extraordinary hearing, and are very sensitive to sounds. They often listen to various sounds in the sea, and even the ripples of krill swimming a hundred meters away can be clearly heard in their ears.

To her, the Sand Scorpion's sneak attack was as obvious as the beating of a drum.

Then a cunning gleam flashed in the mermaid's purple eyes. She covered her left arm in pain and staggered into the water.

Light blue blood streaks spread in the sea water, deliberately creating the illusion of being seriously injured and fleeing - all of this was to lure the two land demons into their home ground.

Under the deep sea, her strength was strengthened again.

The water flow will accelerate her every attack, the pressure will become her most natural armor, and even the smallest movements can be completed more perfectly with the help of buoyancy.

However, the development of things was beyond her expectations.

Although the nine-tailed fox demon's movements were hindered in the water, its nine tails were still as flexible as whips. Every whip carried with it scorching demonic power, evaporating the surrounding seawater into large bubbles.

The seemingly clumsy scorpion was even more troublesome. Its shell completely isolated the water pressure, and the attack angle of its tail stinger was extremely tricky, almost hitting her several times.

The mermaid knew very well that if they fought on land, facing two monarch-level demons who cooperated well with each other, she probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

But in this blue world, every drop of seawater is helpful to her, and she can still manage for now.

However, if the fight continues, even if she has the advantage of terrain, it will not be easy to win quickly.

Then she thought, these two demons were following the orders of the human on the shore, why not take action against him?
Then she suddenly let out a sharp scream, pretending to be suffering from the poison, and turned to flee into the deep sea. Qingning and the Sand Hidden Scorpion were indeed in hot pursuit, and were soon led several miles out to sea.

She returned here through the space vortex and came in front of Qin Xiaonan.

In fact, after seeing Qingning had not returned for a long time, Qin Xiaonan felt that his order was a bit too hasty.

Because he saw the mermaid was stabbed by the Sand Scorpion's tail needle, she must have been poisoned. In this case, if Qingning and the Sand Scorpion attacked at the same time, they should be able to catch her.

I didn't expect that he hadn't come back for so long.

He was still lamenting that desert creatures were desert creatures after all, and their combat effectiveness was greatly weakened in the water. It seemed that he would not be able to catch this mermaid today.

I didn't expect the other party to come to my door on his own initiative.
