Being looked down upon by the demon-hunting system with a wide range of interests, Lu Jiu began his own journey of enlightenment.
He screamed on the reefs, screamed in the sea water, and screamed wherever he swam. He was about to turn into a screaming chicken. This is the good thing about the Demon Sea. No matter how Lu Jiu screamed or how much noise he made, no one would complain that he was disturbing others. He could practice his voice to his heart's content.
Lu Jiu held a harpoon and swam around the seabed. His long black hair fluttered in the sea water. He didn't know when he changed from screaming to humming. He hummed all the way while swimming. It was completely subconscious behavior. By the time he realized it, he had already started humming.
Lu Jiu sighed and gave up treatment. He began to wonder if it was really because of his mixed blood that he could not realize the talent of the mermaid.
Although Lu Jiu seemed to be strolling around leisurely, he was actually very anxious. Time was passing day by day. If he couldn't find the invisible fish, he couldn't complete the mission. If he couldn't hand in the mission, he couldn't go back early. Lu Jiu was very anxious. While he
was distracted, his ink-colored tail was suddenly entangled by something. Lu Jiu was startled. The mermaid's fish tail is like a woman's thigh. Entangling his fish tail is openly playing, hooligan!
"Snap!" Lu Jiu's conditioned reflex, a harpoon has already shot over.
What entangled Lu Jiu was a tentacle, very thick, very blue, and covered with suction cups. Lu Jiu looked at the tentacle dancing in the water. His first reaction was a squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and his second reaction was a little blue devil! Escape first!
Lu Jiu didn't care about revenge for touching his tail, he turned around and ran away. Suddenly, several thick tentacles flew out from the dark deep sea and entangled the fleeing little mermaid. Lu Jiu boasted that he was fast enough, but he was still one step slower than the tentacles. The sticky tentacles wrapped around Lu Jiu's waist and dragged him to the dark seabed.
With a "whoosh", Lu Jiu felt mud and sand flying in front of his eyes, which greatly affected his vision. He only saw a smooth blue "head". Lu Jiu was dragged by the tentacles and hit the "head". When he was about to hit it, the tentacles suddenly pulled down. The intention was very obvious, because the mouthparts of the little blue devil were at the bottom.
Lu Jiu held the harpoon tightly and stabbed it hard into the blue "big head" that flashed by. The tentacles of the little blue devil rolled wildly, and Lu Jiu was thrown so hard that the harpoon almost slipped out of his hand. Lu Jiu turned the harpoon and stabbed the tentacles wrapped around his waist. The tentacles loosened, and Lu Jiu swung his tail hard and escaped, but was entangled by the ubiquitous tentacles again.
Lu Jiu was alone, and the little blue devil was full of tentacles. Lu Jiu's two fists could not defeat four hands, and he was entangled again and dragged down.
The little blue devil's tentacles squirmed, rolled Lu Jiu and stuffed it into the mouthparts. Lu Jiu's harpoon stabbed hard into the tender meat beside the mouthparts, and the little blue devil's tentacles flipped over and threw Lu Jiu out.
Lu Jiu was tumbling in the turbid sea water, not knowing where he would be thrown to. He saw the angry little blue devil swinging its tentacles, entangled him again, and smashed in another direction.
"Bang!"
With a silent collision, Lu Jiu's entire back hit the reef on the seabed. The pain made him lose strength instantly, and the harpoon in his hand fell.
The little blue devil seemed to have finally caught the opportunity. All its tentacles surrounded Lu Jiu and entangled him and threw him. There was turbid mud and sand in front of him. Lu Jiu felt that he might die here, either being eaten or choked to death, but he didn't want to die. He had persisted in the sea of demon for so long, why should he die here? !
When Lu Jiu was entangled by the tentacles and slapped against the hard reef again, his survival instinct aroused his ferocity. His sharp finger bones tore at the tentacles fiercely, and at the same time he arched his body to protect his head, and his back hit the reef again.
Lu Jiu roared madly, and the little blue devil was also waving its tentacles desperately. Lu Jiu hugged the tentacles and bit them with his sharp fangs. He no longer had the elegance and gentleness of a human being, but only the survival instinct of a sea beast. With claws and bites, a thick tentacle was torn apart. Lu Jiu was pulled out by a tentacle and kept rolling on the seabed.
Lu Jiu grabbed the reef and steadied himself. The little blue demon had already rushed up, and its body like a small mountain pressed against Lu Jiu. Lu Jiu didn't think about it. Suddenly, there was a sharp roar, and the sound was like a hurricane, carrying the water and rushing to the distance. The little blue demon closest to Lu Jiu was the first to be hit. It was hit by the sound wave and flew out, knocking down countless reefs along the way, and disappeared in the dark seabed.
Lu Jiu didn't give up. He chased after it quickly, and he wanted to see the end of the little blue demon. He didn't know how far he chased it. The little blue demon that had fought with him for life and death was blocked by a giant sea reef. It was limp and motionless, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.
Lu Jiu approached carefully, and only saw when he got close that the little blue demon's head had exploded. It must be dead.
The little blue demon's danger index was three stars. Needless to say, it was rich in nutrients and magic energy. Lu Jiu would not let go of such good food.
He dragged one of the little blue demon's tentacles and swam back desperately. He wanted to go back to find the harpoon. The harpoon rewarded by the system was very useful. He couldn't lose it and had to find it back.
Lu Jiu searched for a long time at the battle scene before he found the harpoon near a reef. The harpoon was stuck in the crevice of the reef. Lu Jiu tried to pull it out, but couldn't. He was in great pain and had no strength at all. He simply gave up and let the system directly take back the inventory. He sat on the edge of the reef and needed to rest.
He was always alert in the Demon Sea and rarely encountered such desperate situations. He was distracted for a moment and almost lost his life.
Lu Jiu didn't know if his scream was the talent the system mentioned. In that critical moment, he used his instinct.
Lu Jiu was not familiar with the Sirens. According to the system, the Sirens used to be very fierce. Even without weapons, they could conquer the Demon Sea with their claws and sharp teeth. Coupled with the Sirens' talents and abilities, their strength was ranked among the best in the Demon Sea. The
current Lu Jiu Sirens was just embarrassing his ancestors. He was almost eaten by a three-star little blue demon. The Sirens' ancestors' coffin lid could not be held down. Fortunately, no matter how soft Lu Jiu was, he was still a Sirens. The ferocity was engraved in his genes.
Looking at the exploded head, it seems to be working well so far.
A school of fish began to gather around the little blue devil, all wanting to get a piece of the pie. Among the school of fish, Lu Jiu spotted a fish with a flat and round body and bright colors, which was very conspicuous. Wasn't it the real form of the invisible fish that the system had shown him? !
Lu Jiu ignored the pain and swam over quietly, took out the fishing net bag, and prepared to catch the invisible fish alive.
The reason why the invisible fish's danger index is two stars is not because of its attack power, but because of its invisibility and sneak attack. Once it becomes invisible, it will be very difficult to catch it. Lu Jiu must catch it before it becomes invisible.
The invisible fish was still tearing at the little blue devil's head, when suddenly a large net hood appeared on its head. The invisible fish swung its tail vigorously, and the bright color quickly faded, and soon became the same color as the sea water, which could not be detected by the naked eye. If the
net bag was not bulging, Lu Jiu would have thought it was empty. Lu Jiu saw such a magical fish for the first time with his own eyes. He tied a knot in the net bag to ensure that the invisible fish he caught would not escape, and prepared to catch a few more in the same way. Lu Jiu quietly hid beside the little blue devil's tentacles, waiting for the invisible fish to fall into the trap.
Lu Jiu did not have to wait too long, and soon a few more bright invisible fish appeared. Lu Jiu suppressed his ecstasy, quietly went behind the invisible fish, and put the fish one by one into the sack... bah, put a fishing net.
Lu Jiu used this method to catch four fish in a row. Just when he was about to catch more, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back, as if he had been hit hard by something. Lu Jiu looked back, but saw nothing. Just as he turned his head, he was hit again. The hand holding the net bag hurt a lot, and a row of small holes appeared on the surface of his hand, and blood gushed out of the small holes.
Lu Jiu did not let go, and his other hand had already grabbed it. It seemed empty, but it felt very real. It was an invisible fish!
The invisible fish in stealth mode struggled desperately, and Lu Jiu's sharp claws grabbed the invisible fish and refused to let go. Invisible fish kept attacking Lu Jiu from all around. Lu Jiu could not see and could only feel the water waves when the invisible fish moved. Lu Jiu hurriedly stuffed the invisible fish into the fishing net bag, grabbed one of the tentacles of the little blue devil and swam away quickly. If he didn't leave, he would be torn apart by the invisible fish.
Lu Jiu climbed up a reef with great effort, and tried his best to drag up the little blue devil that was as big as a hill. The whole reef was filled with little blue devils, and Lu Jiu could only cling to the reef and soak in the sea.
[Mission completed, 30 magic points obtained.]
[Congratulations to the host, the task was completed in excess, the treasure chest reward was triggered, and 1 wooden treasure chest was obtained. 】
Lu Jiu didn't dare to delay. He was covered in wounds. If he stopped, he might not be able to move.
He opened the super-intelligent kitchen and dragged the little blue demon to crawl in. It was inconvenient to move with a fish tail. Lu Jiu wanted to turn into human legs. Looking back, he saw that the roots of the scales on his waist were soaked with blood. There were two places where the scales were missing, revealing bloody wounds. The injuries were extremely terrible.
Lu Jiu gritted his teeth and turned into a human form. His waist and legs were covered in blood, and the injuries looked more serious than when he was a mermaid. Lu Jiu was shaking with pain and didn't even have the strength to deal with the little blue demon.
The invisible fish was still struggling in the fishing net bag. He wanted to put the invisible fish into the fish pond, but he was afraid that it would kill the silver fish in the fish pond, which would be a huge loss for him.
Lu Jiu lay on the cold metal ground, "I want to... draw a blind box..."
Lu Jiu wanted to save the chance to draw a blind box, but now there was no better way. He must draw something that could bring the invisible fish and the little blue devil back. He couldn't give up the prey he had caught with all his might.
The familiar nine-square grid appeared again, with a locked treasure chest in each grid. Lu Jiu closed his eyes and clicked on one at random.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-quality magic crystal. 】
Lu Jiu: ...
No matter what the magic crystal is, whether it is high-quality or not, it is useless to Lu Jiu now. What he needs is something that can take the invisible fish and the little blue devil back!
Lu Jiu feels very tired.
[The magic crystal is a solid form of magic essence. When there is no magic essence replenishment, the magic crystal is a life-saving thing. 】
Lu Jiu is powerless: What I need now is not a life-saving thing, but how to take the invisible fish and the little blue devil back.
[Why doesn't the host choose to expand the fish pond? 】
Lu Jiu: Even if it is expanded, isn't it still a big space? Invisible fish and silver fish cannot coexist peacefully.
The system was silent.
[I wonder if the host has heard of space separation? 】
Lu Jiu: No.
[Then start listening now, as long as they are separated, they will not fight. 】
藺九: Can it be divided?
【Yes. 】
藺九 took a deep breath: Since it can be divided, why didn’t you tell me earlier?
【I thought you knew, but if you don’t tell me, I don’t know what you need. 】
藺九:...
I wasted an opportunity to draw a blind box, and in the end I have to rely on magic points to settle the fish pond issue!
藺九 spent 30 magic points to expand the fish pond to 3 cubic meters, and separated two spaces in the corner, one for the silver fish and the other for the invisible fish, which could only ensure that they would not die but could not swim freely. The rest of the space was left for the little blue demon.
The little blue demon was too big, and 藺九 had a hard time stuffing all its tentacles into the fish pond. He took it back first and dealt with the little blue demon after his injuries got better.
[Monster name: Little Blue Devil
Habits: The most difficult sea monster killer
Features: Delicious meat, rich in nutrients
Danger index: ★★★
Effects: 1. Improve human immunity; 2. Delay the aging of the body. ] When
Rujiu came out of the super-intelligent kitchen, he saw the vast sea water and could not see the shadow of Xipuluo Island. Rujiu decided to go back first and come in next time. He would appear on Xipuluo Island again, which would be more convenient than going back now. Moreover, in his current situation, he might not be able to come back if he went into the sea again. Any sea monster could eat him.
The wound was pulled through the boundary gate and became more shocking.
It was late at night on Earth. Lu Jiu fell to the wooden floor with a thud, leaving a human-shaped blood mark. Lu Jiu struggled to get up, but his bloody feet slipped. He fell down every time he tried to get up. He could only crawl to the bathroom, leaving a long blood mark.
The bathtub was filled with warm water. Lu Jiu crawled in. The blood dyed the bathtub red. The warm water stimulated the wound, which was very painful. Lu Jiu could not stay there. After a simple rinse, he moved into the bedroom wrapped in a bathrobe. He looked at the blood on the floor and did not want to dirty the bed, so he could only sit on the carpet.
Lu Jiu predicted that his bones were fine, otherwise he would not be able to move at all. Trembling, he turned on his phone, opened an app, searched for a drugstore that delivered at night, bought more than a dozen boxes of bandages, more than a dozen bottles of disinfectant, and selected a lot of various hemostatic drugs. He didn't know whether human hemostatic drugs would work for him, so he could only give it a try.
Lu Jiu clicked to place an order, but the phone didn't respond, as if it was stuck. Lu Jiu was a little anxious and kept clicking. Suddenly, the phone rang. There was a call coming in. Lu Jiu's hands shook and the phone fell to the ground. The page that was opened flashed slowly several times. The order was placed and the call was connected.
Si Xu didn't expect the call to go through. He just called out of habit. If the phone was not turned on, it meant that Lu Jiu had not returned yet. Unexpectedly, the call went through.
"Lujiu?" Si Xu called him.
There was no response from the other end of the phone, only heavy breathing.
Si Xu immediately realized that something was wrong, "Lujiu, can you hear me?"
Lujiu picked up the phone tremblingly and heard Si Xu's voice, "Can..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that the voice was wrong and he was shaking too much, so he quickly kept silent.
Unfortunately, it was too late, Si Xu had already heard it, "Where are you? Are you injured?"
"No...no..." Lujiu tried to make his voice a little calmer, but it was too painful, let alone the sound, his whole body was shaking, and his voice naturally trembled with it.
"Where are you? I'll go over now." Si Xu's voice was very anxious.
"No need..."
"Where?" Si Xu's voice was deep and unyielding.
Lu Jiu was silent. He looked at the room that looked like a murder scene. If Si Xu saw it, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
Lu Jiu didn't say anything, and Si Xu was silent too. He had taken the elevator to the underground garage and drove to the neighborhood where Lu Jiu lived.
In the days when Lu Jiu was away, Si Xu had been working overtime, often sleeping in the office, and occasionally returning to his apartment. Today he was working overtime again, and he wanted to relax, have a cup of coffee, and make a phone call. Unexpectedly, the call went through.
"Building 6, Room 1201."
After a stalemate, Lu Jiu finally gave in and told the specific address.
Lu Jiu was a little overwhelmed by Si Shen's sudden toughness.
"I'll be there soon."
