Not only from the lakeside, but also quickly approaching from the lake surface, causing the moon’s reflection on the water to completely vanish.

The Tier Four Rangers stationed at various high points around the perimeter began to issue warnings.

At this time, Baron Bezos and Zong Shen had just reached the pitfall’s entrance.

Those Tier Four Strong Strike Rangers moved quickly, running in from various directions.

"What’s going on?"

The laborers had already left the pitfall, and they seemed to have realized that something significant was happening.

All of them looked towards the direction of the northern lake with fear.

"My lord, hurry up and leave!"

"Those fishmen have suddenly assembled and are rushing here!"

The first Strong Strike Ranger to arrive said urgently.

She was a female ranger, similar in appearance to Madeleine and her sister.

Both had beautifully brown hair.

Without further ado, she pulled Baron Bezos out of the pitfall and started running towards the mountain.

Zong Shen stood by the pitfall, took out the [Single-Person Telescope], and observed the direction of the tiger-skin.

Through the telescope’s view, he could see various Shallow Water Fishmen surging like a tide.

Covering both the lake surface and the lake’s shores.

It seemed like they had moved out in full force.

"Damn!"

"What are these fishmen up to!"

Zong Shen cursed at the scene before him.

By this time, Baron Bezos had already been taken away a hundred or two hundred meters.

Only now did he come to his senses.

"Younger Brother Zong, run quickly!"

"The Shallow Water Fishmen have gone berserk!"

The laborers, too, followed quickly behind Baron Bezos, running as fast as they could.

Despite appearing sluggish at work, these guys indeed had a knack for fleeing.

In a moment, only Zong Shen and his warriors were left on the spot.

Without his explicit command, the warriors wouldn’t flee on their own.

The fishmen’s vanguards were about two kilometers away.

The fishmen’s speed was extremely fast, advancing like mudskippers leaping and jumping.

At least faster than the fleeing laborers and Baron Bezos.

At this speed, they would likely be overtaken before reaching the mountain top.

Climbing from here to the top would take at least thirty to forty minutes.

Moreover, their gathering on the ground just now had already been exposed.

Because in a moment, the speed of the fishmen seemed even faster.

Zong Shen could vaguely hear the sound of their muddy steps and the water being swiped as they swam from the lake.

His intuition told him that these fishmen were after the ruins beneath his feet.

In fact, the original excavators of these ruins were precisely the ancestors of this group of fishmen.

The current passageways and caverns were also dug out by their ancestors.

Because of their excavation, they had disturbed and awakened those dormant Lion Skeleton Knights.

All this was information Zong Shen already knew.

Therefore, he felt the fishmen were inevitably here for the ruins.

Their attack timing just happened to be right after their excavation was completed.

Seeing Zong Shen standing still, Baron Bezos felt anxious.

Even though Bezos had his thoughts and plans, he indeed regarded Zong Shen as a friend.

After all, their close-to-full affinity was evident.

"Let’s go back!"

"I need to bring Younger Brother Zong too."

He ordered the two Strong Strike Rangers pulling him to return.

At this moment, Zong Shen suddenly shouted to him.

"Lord Bezos, don’t worry about me."

"I have a way to leave."

"These fishmen are incredibly fast; don’t stop, head to the mountain top quickly."

"Get onto the airship and ascend directly!"

His loud voice echoed through the mountains and forests.

"Let’s go!"

Hearing this, Baron Bezos could only issue the command to continue escaping.

After shouting, Zong Shen gave instructions to Kangnijiya.

"Kangnijiya, use the Group Levitation Technique."

"Let’s head to the sky."

After receiving his command, Kaji Nia didn’t hesitate and raised the magic wand, starting to chant.

A few seconds later, a pale green Wind Spirit Magic Energy appeared around everyone.

With a thought, their bodies could be controlled to levitate.

Given the full-force deployment of the fishmen, staying on the ground was undoubtedly unwise.

Heading to the sky was much better.

The Floating Technique’s ascend speed was not fast; after a dozen seconds, they reached about a hundred meters high.

Meanwhile, the frontline fishmen had almost reached right below them.

Zong Shen and his group looked down at the fishmen, preparing to ascend further.

Suddenly, dozens of black sphere-like dots emerged from the fishmen crowd.

The force of these dots was tremendous, thrown up to a hundred meters high, spreading into Capture Nets.

The four Rodok soldiers, due to their weight, levitated slower.

As a result, they were caught head-on by the nets.

As the nets covered them, those Rodok soldiers began to descend slowly.

They did not have sharp weapons on them to quickly break through the nets.

The Long-handled Axe was difficult to retrieve in such situations.

"Wenresa, rescue them."

Seeing this, Zong Shen quickly instructed Wenresa to go for a rescue.

She had a short sword on her, capable of cutting through the nets.

It was also at this moment, after the first wave of Capture Nets ended.

The fishmen on the ground played a new trick.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Shadows shot from below, flying upwards.

In mere seconds, at least hundreds of shadows were shot towards them.

The shadows had immense force, comparable to the Power of a Strong Crossbow bolt.

They turned out to be black Fish Spears.

"Holy crap!"

Facing this rain-like attack.

Zong Shen took out the [Aurora Guardian Shield] and quickly activated the skill.

Deploying the [Aurora Guardian Shield Curtain] to block beneath them.

A Tri-color Shield Curtain, ten meters long and three meters wide, appeared, blocking under them.

This Shield Curtain had 2000 Durability Value and 35 Double Resistance points, a group protection-type skill.

The sound of tridents hitting the Shield Curtain was "ding, ding, ding," crisp and clear.

While making the light-emitting Shield Curtain sway.
