After Liao Tingwang came back, he was immediately sent to the A City Hospital.
He was abducted by the Haijia tribe after the car accident. He was rescued and experienced several life-and-death experiences in the sea before he was finally sent to the hospital.
After examination, it was found that several of his ribs were broken and the bones of his right calf were shattered into pieces. It took too long, and even if the operation was successful, it was still unknown whether he could stand up successfully.
Si Xu accompanied Lu Jiu to the hospital to visit Liao Tingwang. His anesthesia had worn off, and he lay on the hospital bed, staring out the window in a daze.
His eyes were empty, and no one knew what he was thinking. He seemed to feel no pain from the broken bones.
Lu Jiu had heard about the situation of the Liao family. Now, the entire Liao family was dead or gone, and only Liao Tingwang was left.
When Liao Tingwang saw Lu Jiu again, he was no longer as excited as he was at the beginning.
Liao Tingwang disregarded his own life and the life of Old Master Liao, and ran to City A to tell Lu Jiu about the plan of the Haijia tribe. This was something Lu Jiu had not expected. Liao Tingwang's behavior also completely angered the Haijia tribe, so they killed Old Master Liao.
If Liao Tingwang was not Lu Jiu's father, he might have been a threat to Lu Jiu. It is estimated that he would not have been driven off the highway, but would have been directly run over and killed.
"You can stay in City A to recuperate."
There are not many people in the Liao family in City B, and there is no point in going back to City B. Lu Jiu does not want to be kidnapped again.
There was no light in Liao Tingwang's eyes, as if he had lost hope of living. "Can you go to City B? Your grandfather's body is still in the hospital. You can't leave it there like this."
Lu Jiu was silent for a moment, "I have something else to do. You can go by yourself."
Lu Jiu knew that she had no good feelings for Old Man Liao and had no feelings for him. As his youngest son, Liao Tingwang must be very sad about his death. It would definitely be better for him to collect the body than for herself.
Lu Jiu handed him a primary treatment agent, which was the last one, to help him recover.
Liao Tingwang looked at the medicine, his eyes full of grief and irony. His father had been strong for so many years and never admitted that he was wrong. He gave up his own grandson and chose to believe that a man of unknown origin would save him. As a result, his life was not saved, but he died at the hands of the other party.
How could this not be ironic?
He had lived in darkness for so many years and always listened to his father. In the end, his two marriages ended in divorce. He had nothing left. His only remaining son was not close to him. Liao Tingwang felt that he was a failure as a person.
He did not refuse the medicine and drank it in front of Lu Jiu.
Rujiu told him that by this time tomorrow, he would be able to recover to normal, and he could go to City B to deal with Mr. Liao's funeral and the Liao family's dilapidated stall. If he still wanted to return to City A, Rujiu would not ignore him.
Liao Tingwang just nodded and said nothing.
The next day, after Liao Tingwang's body fully recovered, he left the ward, which scared many doctors and nurses. They all thought that this man's right leg would never be able to recover to its previous state. Who would have thought that he would get out of bed and leave by himself the day after the bone-setting surgery.
Fortunately, there are too many strange things now, and this one is not a big deal.
Rujiu soon received the news that Liao Tingwang had left the hospital, and he did not say much.
After discussing with Si Xu, Si Xu also felt that the probability of Vera being in the hands of the Haiga tribe was not high, otherwise they would not leave Vera unused and go around to use the Liao family. Normal people would not go far away and seek the near.
Lawson also believed that Vera could not be in the hands of the Cecil family. The Cecil family was the most powerful family among the Haiga tribe.
Lu Jiu had already told Lawson about the attack he had encountered by the Haiga tribe, and told them that the Haiga tribe had changed their genes, and they could move freely in the sea. The mutated Haiga had a terrible and ugly appearance. Lu Jiu alone saw more than a dozen mutated Haiga.
After Lawson knew the news, he was silent for a long time.
They had always known that the Haiga tribe was doing genetic research, but they did not expect that they had already done this research.
Lawson was not surprised to have such results after so many years.
Lawson was most concerned about another thing. "Did you see any sea monsters among those mutated sea monsters?"
Lu Jiu still couldn't understand Lawson's language, so Ansel had to translate for him.
By the way, Ansel had already returned with his wife and two children, and Lottie was going through the formalities. He was going to transfer to Country Z, and he wanted to follow Lu Jiu, so he was going through the process.
Those mutated sea monsters had different shapes, but Lu Jiu didn't see any fishtail sea monsters.
Lawson sighed, "They took away the young members of the Elton and Limo families. The women may stay to give birth to offspring, and the men may be used for research as the fighting force of the Haijia tribe. We tried to rescue them, but we couldn't find their exact location. I don't know what happened to them or whether they are still alive."
At the end of the call, Lawson told Lu Jiu very seriously that the Cecil family was very cunning and not to believe their words.
The mutant Haijia told Lu Jiu this news, obviously wanting to lure Lu Jiu over. They would definitely set up a trap to make Lu Jiu never return. A real sea monster is much more valuable than their semi-finished products.
Lu Jiu wanted to ask the system to help him find it. They didn't know where the Haijia tribe would put the laboratory. If he searched the entire Earth plane, the energy consumed would be insufficient for Lu Jiu's current magic points.
Lu Jiu was deeply aware of his poverty. He needed magic points too much. Not only did he need to burn magic points to find the Haijia tribe's research base, but he also wanted to buy himself an intermediate blood purification agent. His sea monster blood needed to be purified. The purer the sea monster blood, the stronger he would be. He absolutely could not lose to the group of mutant Haijia.
He had to become stronger.
The magic points gained by completing tasks in the Demon Sea plane can no longer meet Lu Jiu's needs. An intermediate blood purifier requires 500,000 magic points, which is more expensive than an intermediate gene enhancer. An advanced gene enhancer requires 1 million magic points, and an advanced blood purifier directly soars to 5 million magic points. The price is so high that Lu Jiu is dizzy. It is not impossible to accumulate enough magic points by completing tasks, but it takes time, and what Lu Jiu lacks most is time.
If Vera is really alive, Lu Jiu must rescue her no matter what.
Until now, Lu Jiu understood what the system had said. The probability of getting the items you need by drawing blind boxes is too slim, even lower than the probability of drawing treasure chests. At least treasure chests of different grades have corresponding items of the same grade.
There are many and various items in the blind box, and there are all kinds of levels. A stick of coral, a pot of soy sauce, and a bag of chalcedony rice may waste three blind box opportunities. For a non-African like Lu Jiu, it is impossible to draw these top-level potions.
In order to obtain magic points, Lu Jiu needs magic crystal marrow.
Now one magic crystal marrow can no longer satisfy him.
Lu Jiu and Si Xu discussed and decided to secretly go to the center of the magic crystal marrow explosion to look for possible magic crystal marrow.
It goes without saying how dangerous it is there.
Since it is the center of energy, all the marine life there may be giant sea monsters, and passing by recklessly is undoubtedly suicide.
Fortunately, Lu Jiu and Si Xu have a boundary gate. As long as the situation is not right, Si Xu can make the sea level flat, and they can escape directly to Xipuluo Island.
The two chose a night to go out, and took a car to H City, which is closer to A City, and went out to sea from there.
They did not drive a boat, nor did they bring anyone with them. They planned to use a super-intelligent aircraft to get there. They could not
move during the day, and they were worried about being photographed. This super-intelligent aircraft was too advanced, and it would be mistaken for a UFO if they were not careful. It would be safer to keep a low profile.
Si Xu's driving skills became more and more sophisticated. The speed of the super-intelligent aircraft was very fast, flying close to the sea surface.
Lu Jiu felt that not long after, Si Xu suddenly began to slow down until he stopped completely.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jiu asked in a low voice, as if he was worried about disturbing the giant sea monster here.
Due to the time difference, it was the darkest moment before dawn here.
Si Xu quietly dimmed the high beam and motioned Lu Jiu to look ahead.
Lu Jiu looked over, and there was darkness in front, and nothing could be seen.
Si Xu simply turned off all the lights. Under the night sky, several extremely thick and huge black shadows stood on the sea. The black shadows were not motionless like the building patterns. They were living creatures, wriggling in the air.
The super intelligent aircraft was still quite a distance away from the huge black shadow. It was so huge at such a long distance. I couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if it got closer.
Lu Jiu even breathed lighter. He thought that the giant sea monsters he had seen were already big enough, but he didn't expect that there were such terrifying existences. Those giant sea monsters were just small fish and shrimps in front of these black shadows.
Lu Jiu quietly asked the system in his mind what that thing was.
The mechanical sound of the system became very solemn.
[Host, there may be big trouble on the Earth plane. That is the giant blue devil of the Seven-Star Sea Devil on the Demon Sea plane. It is an adult of the little blue devil. The host and the male god had better not get close to it. It is a very difficult type of sea demon. ]
Lu Jiu and Si Xu's expressions became solemn.
The catastrophe in the Demon Sea plane not only swept the Demon Sea descendants to the Earth plane, but also sent the sea demons here. During such a long period of time, the Seven-Star Sea Demon should have no energy to replenish and fell into a deep sleep. However, because of this explosion of the magic crystal marrow, such a terrifying thing was awakened.
Lu Jiu: "I remember you once said that the Haijia tribe has the power to fight against powerful sea demons. Are they really that powerful?"
[The power to fight that I am talking about does not mean that every Haijia has this strength. In history, only a few Haijias with super strong combat power have the power to fight against sea demons. 】
Lu Jiu: "According to what you said, the strongest species in the Demon Sea is actually the sea demon, right?"
【The sea demon is powerful, but not very intelligent. In the Demon Sea, the only intelligent species are the sea magpies and the sirens. 】
So the sea magpies can become the overlord, but the sea demons cannot.
The system paused and added another sentence.
【Although the sea magpies in the Demon Sea plane are belligerent, brutal, and powerful, they never use force on the sirens. On the contrary, the sirens are protected by the sea magpies. Although the sea magpies have a strong possessiveness, they are very gentle to the sirens. In the eyes of the sea magpies, every sea magee is a partner of the sea magpies. They will not harm their partners, but only protect them. 】
【I don't even want to acknowledge the Heijia of the Earth plane. Their relationship with the Sirens is too bad. They are too cruel to the Sirens. They are monsters, not Heijia. The real Heijia is not like this. 】
The mutant Heijia stabbed Rujiu's tail with a trident. Even the system was shocked by this. The importance of the tail to the Sirens is definitely no less than the importance of a little brother to a man. In the memory of the system, there has never been a similar situation. In
the laws of the Demon Sea, the Heijia tribe has the death penalty, but the Sirens do not. Even if the Sirens are extremely evil, they will only be imprisoned until death, and will not be executed. Injuring
the Sirens is a serious crime.
Heijia's crime of injuring the Sirens is even more serious.
Therefore, in the marriage between Heijia and the Sirens, domestic violence rarely occurs. Even if there is, it is the Sirens who abuse Heijia.
If Heijia really fights with the Sirens, the Sirens are no match for Heijia.
The Heijia on the Earth plane has gone too far. They think they are restoring the glory of their ancestors, but they don’t know that their behavior has seriously violated the taboos of the Heijia tribe, and their ancestors will be angry to death when they wake up.
They want to awaken the Heijia bloodline so much, but they don’t seem to know one thing. The purer the Heijia bloodline is, the more they can’t leave the Sirens. Without the comfort of the Sirens’ songs, they will be swallowed up by wildness, lose their reason, and become a sea monster that only knows how to kill.
The combination of the Sirens and Heijia is not just to give birth to pure-blooded descendants, but to continue life and live a better life.
The Haiga people on the Earth plane don't understand, they have been on the road of death and never look back.
If they really tear their faces with the Sirens, the first to be destroyed will definitely not be the Sirens, but the Haiga.
Therefore, the Haiga people on the Demon Sea plane will pamper the Sirens as much as possible. This is almost engraved in the genes of the Haiga, just like the desire of life to reproduce, but the Haiga on the Earth plane don't understand this.
The sky gradually brightened, and the huge black shadow standing on the sea surface began to dive until all the tentacles disappeared on the sea surface.
At this time, the sun rose and it was dawn.
Si Xu changed the form of the aircraft and dived into the sea. He could not continue to be exposed on the sea surface to avoid being photographed.
The super-intelligent aircraft did not dive deep, and it was not far from the center of the explosion. Even in the distant waters of Country Z, giant sea monsters appeared, and there were even more
in this location. Sure enough, less than ten minutes after entering the sea, the red outline of a giant sea monster appeared on the display. There were not just one, but five of them. They did not fight, but were looking for food nearby.
Si Xu tried his best not to make any sound and drove forward along a layer of water surface.
Lu Jiu's energy collection system is a detector. He told the energy collection system to pay attention to detection. The aircraft will circle around here to see if there are any intact magic crystals that have been blown out.
Forget about going to the center of the explosion, there is no way to get there. There is a terrible Seven-Star Sea Devil there. That thing is not a giant sea monster. If you are discovered, you won't even have a chance to escape.
Neither Lu Jiu nor Si Xu wanted to disturb the seven-star sea monster. Since they couldn't destroy it, they just let it stay there and not harm humans. Lu Jiu and Si Xu didn't want to see humans destroy the Earth on which they depended for survival in order to destroy this sea monster.
Even the periphery of the explosion was not easy to stay. The situation here was beyond their expectations. There were too many giant sea monsters.
Si Xu drove the aircraft and carefully shuttled among a group of giant sea monsters. Except for the indicator lights on the console, he turned off all lights to try not to attract the attention of the giant sea monsters.
The giant sea monsters became denser and denser as they went forward. Si Xu had no choice but to drive the aircraft to start circling.
The radiation energy in this sea area is the highest, and it is the most attractive to giant sea monsters. I wonder if it is because there is no meat smell on the aircraft, these giant sea monsters did not attack them.
Circling is much easier than moving forward, at least you don’t have to flexibly avoid giant sea monsters, and the pressure is less.
The super-intelligent aircraft circled this sea area for a long time, and did not hear the reminder of the energy collection system. I don’t know if this place is too far from the center, or all the magic crystal marrow was destroyed in the explosion.
The energy problem of the aircraft has not been solved yet, and they can’t keep looking like this. If they can’t find it again, they can only go back first, and can’t wait until the aircraft’s energy is exhausted before leaving.
After searching for another two hours, there was still nothing.
Lu Jiu was very disappointed. It seems that the method of looking for magic crystal marrow is still too naive.
Lu Jiu said: "Let's go back. Let's go through the boundary gate to save some energy."
Si Xu: "This is too far away. Even if there is an explosion, it may not be able to push the magic crystal marrow so far. The sea water has resistance."
Lu Jiu didn't know, but she couldn't go inside. If she went, she might not come back alive.
Lu Jiu: "Let's think of another way. If it doesn't work, I will infiltrate the Cecil family. I heard that they have a lot of magic crystal marrow. After I get the magic crystal marrow, I will immediately escape to Xipuluo Island and see what the Cecil family can do to me."
As he was talking, Lu Jiu suddenly felt that this plan was not impossible. As long as they lost the magic crystal marrow, the Cecil family would not be able to do evil.
"No."
Without waiting for Lu Jiu to speak, Si Xu directly refused.
Lu Jiu scratched his head and felt that he was daydreaming.
There are quite a lot of mutant sea maggots. Although everyone's combat power is limited on land, the Cecil family has hot weapons. Lu Jiu is not immortal. It will be very dangerous if he is hit.
[The energy collection system reminds the host that the magic crystal marrow has been detected. Do you want to collect it? ]
Lu Jiu sat up straight suddenly and was pulled back to the seat by the seat belt.
Si Xu: "Is there any movement?"
Lu Jiu said excitedly: "Collect, collect, collect quickly, collect as much as you can!"
[The energy collection system reminds the host that the magic crystal marrow is moving away from the host and cannot be collected. ]
Lu Jiu was anxious, "What do you mean by moving away? Can the magic crystal marrow grow legs and run away by itself?"
[The energy collection system reminds the host that the system has detected the magic crystal marrow in a fish, and the fish is moving away. 】
Reijiu: "..."
Si Xu: "Eat it by a fish?"
The subsystem's information could not be shared with Si Xu, but Si Xu guessed it himself.
Reijiu nodded, "The fish swam away."
Si Xu: "Report the location, I'll chase it."
Reijiu hurriedly asked the energy collection system for the location, and Si Xu drove the aircraft out at a whoosh.
Reijiu confirmed with the energy collection system again and again, and finally determined that the detected magic crystal marrow was in the body of a giant sea monster with a light bulb on its head.
Reijiu and Si Xu looked around, looking for the giant sea monster with a "light bulb on its head" mentioned by the energy collection system.
"There! Is it that one?!" Reijiu became excited.
On the dark seabed, the giant sea monster with a light bulb on its head is particularly conspicuous. Isn't that giant sea monster a lantern fish? It's just that its body is bigger than other giant sea monsters, and it sways its fat body leisurely.
Si Xu drove the aircraft quietly approached.
Jiu lowered his voice, "Is there a rope on the aircraft? How about just tying up the lantern fish and dragging it away?"
There are giant sea monsters around here. If a fight breaks out here, they are likely to be besieged.
Si Xu: "There is no rope."
Si Xu carefully controlled the aircraft and followed the huge lantern fish.
Si Xu: "Ask the system where it is, and I'll see if I can use my ability to capture it."
Good idea!
Lu Jiu: "In the mouth of the lantern fish."
Si Xu thought for a moment, accelerated the speed of the aircraft, blocked the giant lantern fish, and flew backwards.
If the giant lantern fish opened its mouth to eat them, Si Xu could use this opportunity to grab the magic crystal marrow in its mouth.
To Si Xu's surprise, the aircraft had already danced in front of the giant lantern fish, but it didn't react at all. Its huge mouth was tightly closed, with no intention of opening. Could it be a blind fish?
Lu Jiu: "Fire, let it open its mouth."
Si Xu released the aircraft's built-in weapon, adjusted the position, and fired at the giant lantern fish's big mouth.
"Bang!"
A big hole was blown out of the giant lantern fish's saw-like teeth, and its tightly closed mouth finally opened. Si Xu seized the opportunity and stretched out his hand to shoot.
As soon as he exerted force, Si Xu was stunned.
A black shadow was dragged out of the giant lantern fish's mouth by Si Xu, and the black shadow shot towards the aircraft.
Neither of them could see clearly what it was, only to hear a "bang", and a sharp white fish bone pierced the windshield fiercely!
Fortunately, this is not ordinary glass, otherwise it would really scare the people inside.
There was something on the front end of the aircraft, and it was stabbing the windshield with the fish bone again and again, and each stab was at the same point, as if it was determined to chisel through the windshield.
Si Xu pushed open the lights in the cockpit, and the object hanging on the aircraft was clearly visible.
It was a woman's face!
The woman had long hair, a fierce look, and light scales on her face. It was not her hands that were holding the fishbone, but her webbed hands!
The woman seemed to be frightened by the light and turned and ran away.
Jiu looked at the inky fish tail and widened his eyes.
It turned out to be a sea monster!
