Lao Min Na took a deep breath trying to contain the anger inside her, since she knew about Lory she had become a constant reminder of all her flaws, lies, and mistakes that made her feel ashamed of herself and it seemed Lazarus knew how she felt that's why she purposely comparing her to Lory just to embarrass her.
Lao Min Na may be right but not entirely because for him Lao Min Na's existence is nothing more than a pawn used in his game and actually Lao Min Na and Lory's position is not the same and what causes it... that is a mystery that will be solved later.
"Zhao Li Xin and princess are already inside Yi shan mountain, it won't take them long to reach this place" Lao Min Na diverts the conversation.
"Good...let them be" Lazarus gives a dismissive wave.
Lao Min Na knew Lazarus didn't want to be disturbed anymore, she lowered her head before she left.
Lazarus stared at the Crimson Lightning sword and a distant chill came into his yellow eyes "We are finally here everyone, we have played a long game and now we reached the end and now we only have one card left.....so who will win?" his face beaming with pleasurable anticipation.

They finally returned to the acid pool where Lory come from, Lory used her power to scatter light like fireflies to illuminate the place, everyone swept their eyes over the area and the smell of rotten eggs tickled their noses.
"I won't ask how you got through this pool," said Ming Yue Yin.
"Is there no other way out of here?" Yang Xi Ying inspected the entire cave too badly, he didn't find any cracks that indicated another way.
"Are we going to be stuck here?" Tao Bing Wen's voice hinted with worry.
Meanwhile, Lory stares at the pond with a slight frown [Old birdy, did you finish the Eels clean?]
[Not really, I left some parts, you know the part with too many bones, could it be it melted because of the acid?] Girsha's eyes formed a question.
[I hope so….] Lory stepped near the pool then she peek at the pool ignoring the smell.
Suddenly she saw the water surface ripples slightly and Girsha quickly warned her [Take a step back girl!]
Without further ado Lory takes a long jump backward at the same time she summons a bow from her ring, seeing Lory's reaction everyone automatically got vigilant they all summon their weapon only Tao Bing Wen seems a bit confused but he draws his sword anyway follow everyone suit.
"Lory, what's wrong?" Ming Yue Yin asks with a careful tone.
Lory quickly created a barrier around Yang Xi Ying "Stay behind Xi Ying!" as soon as Lory saw the dark poison coming from the surface of the pool indicating the enemy was not an ordinary beast like before but a Hybrid Beast "It's a Hybrid beast, be prepared!"
Ming Yue Yin's expression became wary even Yang Xi Ying who was inside lory's barrier become tensed cause she knew how strong hybrid beasts were compared to normal beasts only Tao Bing Wen looked confused because it was the first time he heard the term Hybrid Beast but he drew his sword along while being on guard.
[Girsha you stayed with Yang Xi Ying]
[Sure...] Girsha didn't feel hesitant cause more than anyone else he knew how strong Lory is.
The bubbles become more evident at the pond surface indicating something is beneath the water about to come out.
Lory created wind arrows and then slowly drew her bow while squinting her eyes.
Meanwhile, Ming Yue Yin gathers pure Qi on her finger and then transfers her energy to her sword soon after her sword glow with white dimmed light.
Suddenly a giant catfish with long sharp horns came out of the pond and what was annoying was that the creature had webbed feet so it could get out of the water then the creature glared at them and then made a high screeching sound.
'Great, that's an amphibian' Lory grumbled briefly before releasing an arrow, the instant the wind arrow hit the head of the giant catfish causing the creature to roar furiously at that moment Ming Yue Yin take a long jump then dived like an eagle as she gives the creature with a barrage of attacks, the giant fish twirl his giant body then swung it long tail towards Ming Yue Yin, thankfully she managed to block the attack nonetheless she was push back.
Lory didn't let the creatures attack any further, she also jumped higher towards the ceiling then fired dozens more arrows in one shot and made the creatures stun.
The creature became even more irritated and then suddenly shot acid slime at Lory, facing the green thick liquid that was approaching Lory creating a wall of ice despite stopping its attack but immediately the ice wall melted in an instant.
"You dam* stupid Fish, how dare you!" Ming Yue Yin furiously attacked the monster's legs causing the monster to sway slightly, Lory threw a rope dart to the ceiling and then nimbly swung in the air while changing her bow to a spear then safely landing on the creature's back without hesitation she thrust her spear deeply into the creature's back.
The creature furiously jumped up and down like a wild horse while hitting its big body against the wall to knock Lory down. However, Lory held on to her spear which was still stuck in the creature's body, and pulled out a dagger while stabbing the creature's back repeatedly and blood poured down from the creature's body.
Even though Hybrid beasts have a high tolerance for pain but losing a lot of blood still give a significant effect on them.
Seeing that opportunity, Ming Yue Yin channeled his Qi into her legs and then took a deep stance before releasing a powerful kicked at the creature's head, Ming Yue Yin kicked so hard that the creature staggered and fell with a loud sound, fortunately, Lory already jump out before the creature fell.
Instinctively the creature knew that its position was threatened and then with a limp the creature ran towards the acid pool, suddenly Yang Xi Ying raised his chopsticks, shouting loudly "Lory, Yue Yin, don't let that damn monster run into the pool!"
"I'll stop the monster, brat you kill that bitc*!" Lory shouted as he gave the order.
"Leave it to me!" Ming Yue Yin's body charges as fast as a light toward the running fish.
Lory pressed her palm on the ground and the ground froze then ice rushed toward the beast then suddenly created a giant ice wall in front of the pond which instantly cut off the fish's path.
Ming Yue Yin's sword shone brightly and with one swift movement she gave a powerful slash and the fish's body split in two like butter being cut by a hot knife, it was smooth and clean.
"Good job brat!" Lory praised as she pranced toward Ming Yue Yin with a big smile.
"How was my move? I call that 'Mountain splitting' move!" Ming Yue Yin lifted her nose proudly.
"Not bad" Lory raised her brows, then she look down at the hybrid corpses waiting for the beast parasite to appear then she stab the creature turn it into black dust.
Ming Yue yin turned her gaze to Yang Xi Ying then furrowed her brows, "Xi Ying what did you eat?"
"Dim sum" he replied innocently then shrugged his shoulders, "I think you two can handle the creature so Lord Girsha and I decided to eat," Yang Xi Ying said without feeling guilty at all while Girsha ate the bowl of grapes that Yang Xi Ying graciously gave him.
"Oh, good for you…" Ming Yue Yin look at her like it was normal, she felt that there was nothing strange about Yang Xi Ying's actions since she was pregnant, Lory also just give a quick glance at Yang Xi Xing without, making any comment, pregnant women also need rest. and eat more, no.
However, Tao Bing Wen's mouth twitched he didn't realize what was happening behind him who would have thought that in the midst of the fierce battle Yang Xi Ying would have an appetite to eat, he didn't know if Yang Xi Ying had the mentality like steel or simply gullible.
Yang Xi Ying noticed Tao Bing Wen's reproachful eyes then she looked at him defiantly "What? I'm hungry"
