My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! Chapter 3008 Intuition

Chapter 3008 Intuition

Jing Minyao's attack and reaction speed were remarkably swift. A longsword leaped from behind her with a swish, and as it advanced, it dispersed flames to erect a towering wall of fire.
As the flames ascended, the colossal wave generated by the water serpent clashed with the fiery barrier.
Upon contact, the water swiftly extinguished the flames, and the water seemed poised to surge over them.
The little stoic calmly conjured a protective eggshell shield around her, gazing dispassionately at the oncoming water current.
Mu Xingchen's fingers danced deftly, launching over a dozen earth spirit talismans. Earth walls rapidly rose from the ground, but the tremendous waves forced them down one by one.
It wasn't until the water had subdued three of the earth walls that its fervor waned, eventually coming to a halt.
The water splashed up to their feet.
They lowered their heads to observe the colossal water serpent perpendicular to the river, its eyes akin to lanterns, fixated on Qiao Mu's group. The malevolence in its gaze stirred a faint sense of unease.
Qiao Mu furrowed her brow.
It was unclear how long the water serpent had dwelled in the Spring River, but from the current situation, it appeared things were not looking promising.
Mo Lian placed a reassuring hand on the little stoic's and spoke in a low voice, "Stay here."
He was about to step forward and confront the creature when the massive-tailed water serpent, with its triangular eyes fixed on them, suddenly plunged its head into the water, falling silent.
Mo Lian, Qiao Mu, Duan Yue, and the rest exchanged puzzled glances.
What could be the reason for this sudden change?
Before the confrontation even commenced, the water snake abruptly slithered away.
This left everyone wondering, why had it caused such a considerable disturbance earlier?
The Holy Son let out a relieved sigh and remarked, "It's no small feat for creatures to advance to become divine beasts. It seems that this water snake possesses intelligence. It likely realized that it wouldn't stand a chance against all of you if you united against it."
Qiao Mu cast a dubious glance at Holy Son Miyan. "You're not the water snake, so how can you claim to know its inner thoughts?"
He spoke as if he understood the creature's motives, fearing they would join forces against it, prompting it to retreat…
Holy Son Miyan maintained a dignified countenance, her eyes reflecting a composed demeanor. "Although my speculation may not be entirely accurate, it's not far from the truth."
"Very well." Holy Son Miyan swiftly interrupted the little stoic. "It's getting late. Since these two from the Pangu Tribe have also arrived, let's board the ship and continue our journey."
"I suggest you fortify the ship with some protection," the little stoic said impassively.
"Protection?"
"That water snake probably submerged itself, lying in wait for an opportunity to strike. I believe if given the chance, it will return to cause us trouble."
Holy Son admonished her sternly, "You are not the water snake. How can you be so certain that it's still lurking in the shadows, biding its time to act?"
"That's enough!"
"We can discuss this further when we return to the ship." Holy Son Miyan huffed and swiftly departed on the water.
Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and softly remarked, "It's my intuition."
Qi Xuanxuan glanced in the direction of Holy Son's departure and said, "Don't mind him! I bet he won't believe it until he's at death's door."
Mo Lian found it amusing. "In that case, let's head back to the ship."
Qiao Mu nodded and looked back.
