Chapter 138 That Touch of Breathtaking Whiteness

Deep in the forest, an artificial lake.

At this time, it was raining heavily here.

The huge splash of water turned into a rain curtain, pouring down here, making the surface of the artificial lake turbulent due to countless water droplets.

The surrounding trees were also being drenched by the rain and gradually became wet.

Su Ming and Xu Qianqian also arrived at the shore and bathed in the rain, getting soaked all over.

“.”

“.”

A man and a woman stood on the shore, looking at each other silently for a long time.

Xu Qianqian, in particular, glanced at the clothes that were sticking to her body because they were soaked, allowing her skin color to show through, and looked at Su Ming with a somewhat resentful look in her eyes.

“I didn’t mean to do that.”

Su Ming's eyes couldn't help but glance at Xu Qianqian, and he made weak excuses while glancing at her.

God have mercy on him, he really just wanted to break up the waves to prevent the two of them from being swallowed by the lake.

In the end, both of them were still soaked. How was the outcome different from being swallowed by the waves and falling into the lake?

Xu Qianqian obviously thought so, which is why she stared at Su Ming with a resentful look.

Su Ming could only look away and stop looking at Xu Qianqian.

Although the scenery is beautiful, if the young lady continues to look at it like this, she will probably get angry.

By then, it will be impossible for me not to bleed.

Well, physical bleeding.

"well"

Xu Qianqian could only sigh and stop pursuing the matter, then turned to look in the direction of the artificial lake.

There, the mermaid girl had completely disappeared, without any trace left.

"Hidden at the bottom of the lake?"

Xu Qianqian murmured.

"It's obvious." Su Ming was naturally happy to see Xu Qianqian change the subject, and even agreed: "It seems that we scared her."

This is also very obvious.

Don't blame the other party for doing this.

"In this world, she should have been hunted and hunted all the time, right?" Su Ming said, "With such experiences, it's not surprising that she would hide from us."

Don't think that phantom demons are all brainless and brutal beasts. They can also be afraid, terrified, and run away.

An injured wild beast is certainly scary, but in the wild, once injured, even wild beasts know to hide and retreat temporarily, let alone a phantom demon.

The mermaid cub had obviously developed a fear of humans after experiencing various pursuits and hunts.

Therefore, when the mermaid girl saw Su Ming and Xu Qianqian, she ran away immediately without saying a word as if she was frightened. Now she is hiding at the bottom of the lake and doesn't even dare to come out.

“That’s right.”

Xu Qianqian thought about it and understood the mermaid girl's behavior.

But, what to do next? The young lady was in trouble again.

"Should you call her out?"

Xu Qianqian turned to Su Ming and asked for his opinion.

Su Ming also turned his head and looked at Xu Qianqian, but he saw a breathtaking whiteness that made his heart flutter and he almost went crazy.

Xu Qianqian quickly covered her collar and looked at Su Ming with a murderous look in her eyes.

"Ahem." Su Ming coughed dryly and said, "I don't think she will come out easily."

"We can't just leave her here, can we?" Xu Qianqian frowned and said, "Not to mention that the high-ranking officials of the base city and the underground mercenary organization are secretly watching her, her very existence is a source of chaos. If we leave her here, who knows what will happen in the future?"

The mermaid girl is just a cub after all. Although she has noble blood and powerful potential to evolve into a nightmare species, she definitely does not have the power of a high-level phantom demon before she grows up.

A cub that does not have the power of a superior phantom demon but has the blood of a superior phantom demon, and this blood has the potential to evolve, is really an extremely popular commodity. Once its whereabouts are exposed, everyone will want to take a bite.

By then, Longyao City, which had just ended a brutal war, would probably fall into dire straits again.

Even Su Ming wanted to avoid such things, let alone Xu Qianqian who came from a wealthy family.

For this reason, Xu Qianqian was in a dilemma and didn't know how to continue dealing with the cub.

As for Su Ming, perhaps because he already possessed the bloodline of the nightmare species and his strength had greatly improved, his mentality was somewhat different from last time.

"What else do you want to do?" Su Ming asked as if it had nothing to do with him: "Do you want to take her back to the Xu family?"

That is indeed a very exciting thing.

If the Xu family knew that a nightmare bloodline was about to be added to their account, then Xu Qianqian's contribution would be huge, and she might even be directly regarded as the next generation heir.

Not to mention, everything that the nightmare bloodline itself can bring is also a huge temptation, a pass to the Seven Stars. It would be difficult for even Xu Qianqian to resist such a temptation.

Of course, Xu Qianqian looked very calm.

"I don't want her bloodline anymore." Xu Qianqian said, "It's not like she has evolved into a nightmare species."

The implication is that this can be abandoned.

However, Xu Qianqian didn't seem to want this bloodline to fall into the hands of others.

If this bloodline falls into the hands of others, the distribution of power in Longyao City will definitely change, affecting the Xu family. If the one who obtains this bloodline is the enemy of the Xu family, the Xu family will suffer even more.

In view of this, Xu Qianqian didn't want this bloodline, but she couldn't just sit back and watch it.

"Anyway, let's keep her with us for now."

Xu Qianqian could only think of this solution which was not a solution.

"OK."

Su Ming shrugged.

He actually didn't want to have anything to do with the cub, so as not to get into trouble in the future.

But on second thought, even if I cut off my relationship with this cub, when Longyao City is in chaos because of her, can I avoid being dragged into it?

Instead of being passively involved, it is better to temporarily control the source of the chaos around yourself, so that at least you can hold the initiative.

Moreover, with the [Demon Binding] technique, this cub, which has a high possibility of evolving into a nightmare species, has become his prey.

If this child can really evolve into a nightmare species in the future, wouldn't he be able to have a nightmare species as a subordinate?

Thinking about it, Su Ming couldn't help but feel a little excited.

So, Su Ming raised his hand, ready to activate the [Demon Binding] technique again.

However, the painful cry caused by activating [Demon Binding] just now suddenly appeared in Su Ming's mind, causing him to pause slightly.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

After a few seconds, Su Ming changed the technique he used.

"【Form 45: Lifting Force and Detaining Flow】."

Su Ming used a technique that could detect life and find living things within a certain range.

At the beginning, the sorcerers of the underground mercenary group also used this technique to track the whereabouts of the mermaid girl.

Now, Su Ming followed suit, allowing the waves of spiritual power to expand on his body, sweeping across the entire artificial lake like a radar scanner.

After a while, Su Ming discovered a very strong life form swimming anxiously at a place at the bottom of the lake.

“Found it.”

The corners of Su Ming's mouth curled up slightly, and four circular arrays appeared on his wrist.

"【Thirty-three Styles: Stasis Lock】."

Invisible chains rose up from around Su Ming and flew through the air like invisible pythons.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The invisible chain flew across the air and rushed into the artificial lake, causing waves of exploding water and sinking deep into the bottom of the lake.

They swam, creating waves.

They stirred, creating a whirlpool in the center of the lake.

The artificial lake gradually became turbulent, and there was a rumbling sound at the bottom of the lake, telling Su Ming and Xu Qianqian on the shore how uneasy the situation was there.

Until one moment, the biggest splash of water exploded on the surface of the lake, creating a spectacular rain again.

In the splash of water, the mermaid girl fled in panic, as if she was being chased by something terrible.

This is also true.

Invisible chains emerged from the bottom of the lake one after another, intertwining and flying against each other, gradually forming a large net that surrounded the mermaid girl.

Waves of water appeared on the mermaid girl's body, turning the space into a lake with ripples that bounced off the attacking invisible chains.

Before, those underground mercenaries had been using the [Shape-Stagnation Lock] to capture her, so it seemed that the mermaid girl had some experience in dealing with it.

It’s a pity that the two two-star mages who used [Shape Lock] to capture her were just two.

This time, the person who used the [Shape-Stagnation Lock] was Su Ming, who had already awakened the Vision Pattern and became a senior warlock.

"You can't run away, right?"

Su Ming once again made a villain declaration, and the only thing missing was a burst of weird "hehehe" laughter.

Under Su Ming's manipulation, the invisible chains flew back and forth, trapping the mermaid girl above the artificial lake, making it impossible for her to escape.

Then "[Fifty Styles: Taki Steamed Stew]."

The circular array on Su Ming's wrist turned into five, causing powerful spiritual energy to gush out.

The next moment, something wonderful happened.

"boom!"

The water waves around the mermaid girl seemed to be boiling and were directly vaporizing.

"Mi Ling!"

The sudden change shocked the mermaid girl.

But it was too late to react at this time.

Invisible chains suddenly wrapped around the petite body of the mermaid girl, just like a spider web entangles its prey.

"Mi-ling! Mi-ling!"

The mermaid girl struggled, waves of water appeared on her body, and there was even a chill rising and falling, she was full of momentum.

Unfortunately, with the support of Su Ming's huge spiritual power, the [Shape-Stagnation Lock] cast by his hands had extremely high binding force, and it was definitely not something that the mermaid girl, who had not yet grown up and only had blood, and whose strength was still at the lower level of phantom demon, could break free from.

The mermaid girl was dragged by invisible chains and brought to Su Ming.

"Done."

Su Ming clapped his hands, full of energy and enthusiasm.

Xu Qianqian looked at the mermaid girl with shining eyes.

The mermaid girl collapsed on the ground, looking at Su Ming and Xu Qianqian, and began to tremble.

She looked like a little girl who was being bullied.
