[Wait a minute, is the fish this time authentic? What if it’s fake? ]
【Yes】
【Inspect the goods first】
【Let me touch it】
[I'll touch it too]
【Sweet】
[Very sweet]
[Yes, real fish]
Tentacles swarmed out, and in the name of distinguishing the real from the fake, they entangled themselves on the killer whale's smooth skin and crawled around.
Fighting? It's not suitable for these delicate creatures. Fighting with powerful spiritual entities is very tiring. Fortunately, the mobile sugar man came by himself.
Eating a big fish can restore blood, heal wounds, and taste sweet. The tentacles sigh with pleasure and squeeze out others to grab a good position.
The big fish in battle are completely different from usual ones.
A ruthless, brutal, and suited thug. His fangs are sharp and his muscles are as hard as iron.
The giant tail fin swung fiercely and hit the golden tree. Countless golden branches broke and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
And the tentacles? In our impression, they are cute, soft, and only whimpering, like two fish.
[Wow, it’s sweeter than usual]
[From now on, I will only suck fish during battles]
[Please make way, I have no room left]
[There are too many people, squeeze two down]
The huge scarlet egg occupied almost the entire bottom of the cave. When Ni Ji stepped on it, it was like stepping on a large piece of land with crisscrossing blood vessels and undulating and floating.
He stepped on the squirming soft flesh, grabbed the handle of the knife and twisted it violently, then pulled out the long knife.
A large amount of blood gushed out from the gaping wound, staining Ni Ji's entire body.
The whole cave was filled with a strange cry, sometimes it sounded like a man, sometimes it sounded like a woman.
It's like a monster that wants to imitate humans, but can't imitate them well. It's lurking in the darkness and crying like a human.
As the cries rang out, mask-like faces rose from the blood-red earth.
Their bodies are long and thin, made up of countless sticky blood vessels, connected to the red land beneath their feet.
One by one, scarlet monsters with miserable faces stood up from the huge eggs and rushed towards Ni Ji.
"It hurts. It hurts so much. It hurts so much."
“It’s so painful. It’s so painful.”
"Let me go, please, let me go"
"Let me die, let me die"
The sound of weeping and ghostly cries intertwined and echoed in the scarlet cave. The graveyards, ghost mounds, and the netherworld and purgatory were no exception.
Those thin and soft bodies were cut by Ni Ji's sharp blade, spurting out a lot of blood. The red blood poured down like a blanket, staining Ni Ji's body and face.
"What disgusting blood, isn't it? Not great, get out of here quickly." Ni Ji's knife handle said this in the chaos.
It was too late. Those strange monsters quickly submerged the warrior. Ni Ji, whose body was covered in blood, seemed to be dazed. He was covered motionlessly by those blood-red monsters and fell into that scarlet and sticky hell.
The whale under Lin Yuan shook a little, and its huge body shrank a circle. Then it shook again, and shrank a circle again.
Its shape began to become blurred, and it staggered down from the air. Just after it put Lin Yuan on the ground, its black back and white belly flashed twice, and then disappeared with a very reluctant look.
【Ah, where are the fish? 】
[How big is my fish?]
The tentacles scattered in confusion.
"Hmph, a sentinel."
Lin Yuan heard the sound of the Scarlet Egg.
"Do you think you can fight me with just a sentinel?"
The earth covered with red blood vessels made a humming sound. In the middle - where Ni Ji disappeared, a large hill-like mass rose up.
Those blood vessels overlapped and covered it, slowly wriggling, as if they wanted to completely dissolve and digest the sentinels wrapped in them.
"In front of me, guides may be able to hold on a little, but sentinels are the most useless. Although there are sentinels with strong mental strength, they are impulsive and cannot withstand torture. At most, they can only serve as food. Hehehe."
The monster's voice initially sounded like a painful cry, but then he started laughing, like a moody toddler.
“You can take them to the top of happiness and then immediately send them into the depths of misery, back and forth a few times — and then, boom, they collapse.”
It imitated a very lifelike onomatopoeia in its speech, like a human clapping his hands.
"No matter how powerful a warrior is, it's useless. He can't withstand a few rounds. Hehehe."
"He won't? He won't." Lin Yuan suddenly interrupted it.
"He will!" The voice sounded like a negative child.
"He won't," Lin Yuan said again. "He's a very strong man. He'll get rid of you in a moment. He'll cut through your evil flesh and come back to me."
At some point, a faint bright moon appeared above the cave.
The tentacles behind Lin Yuan surged, and her mental image invaded here, faintly overlapping with this bloody cave.
The bright moonlight shone down, and the sad wailing sounds coming from all directions in the cave became much quieter.
Those distorted human faces became quiet, floating in the blood bubbles, staring blankly at the blurry moon above the cave.
This place is no longer the home ground of the Scarlet Egg alone. Lin Yuan's mental power penetrated in with difficulty.
"You actually trust a sentinel? That kind of beast is just brute force." The monster's voice argued impatiently, the voice was sharp and distorted.
"You may not know that Sentinels and Guides are completely different creatures. It doesn't matter, hehe, I will show you. I can show you right away."
"Let me show you the sentry just now. He looked like an animal, just as ugly as ever."
"It actually hurt me with a knife. It must be punished as it deserves."
"I'm going to make him perform in front of you, make him cry and beg, make him twist in the dirtiest places. Make him look ugly and embarrassed. Because of you, he won't even have the chance to beg for mercy."
"Hehe, you still want to help him? You are still so immature. How long can you sustain this kind of exhaustion?"
"It's okay. In the end, I will let you come together and merge into my body together."
Lin Yuan didn't say anything. The hazy moon above the cave became brighter and clearer.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly. The moonlight broke through the darkness and shone on the bulging pile of flesh and blood, almost penetrating the dirty and bloody red pipe walls and shining deep into the ground.
It guides the direction and comforts the souls trapped in the illusion.
Sweat slid down Lin Yuan's cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
But her eyes were firm. She was waiting, believing that her comrades could get out of the predicament and return to the battlefield.
That hill covered with blood vessels began to swell, and the tumor bulged high on the left and right.
breakthrough!
A huge hole opened up in the undulating mountain of flesh, and a crescent-shaped blade shone out from it.
Flesh and membranes were splattered everywhere. A bloody man, holding a long knife, stretched out his hand to pry open the crack, and stepped out a foot.
A huge cry could be heard from all directions of the cave.
A tentacle emerged from the ground, trying to pat the sentry whose body and face were covered in blood.
Ni Ji subconsciously turned his head away and avoided its touch.
He supported himself on the ground with the tip of the knife, bent down, turned his head and spit out some gastric juice, and finally stood up slowly.
The knife handle was covered in blood and was too slippery to hold. The sentry took off his shirt, wrapped his arms around the hand holding the knife, and tied the knife handle and the palm together tightly.
The blade cut deep bloody marks on the body.
The enchanting sword light appeared.
Ni Ji's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent and deep hatred. He raised his long sword and chopped at the squirming ground beneath him.
A crazed murderer, a mad killer.
The red knife was stained with blood, the bloody blade was rolling, and the furious warrior was fighting with the blood-red giant egg under him.
During the entire process, he did not even look at Lin Yuan.
No, I don't want to look, but I dare not look.
Lin Yuan caught Ni Ji's intense outward emotions at the moment: anger, shame, gritting of teeth, and an exploding hatred that spread all over his body.
Lin Yuan had seen the hatred in Ni Ji's heart before. That deep hatred was buried deep in the sea, suppressed and deep, slowly plotting revenge.
She had never seen Ni Ji so furious before. He didn't care about anything and rushed towards the enemy like a madman.
They were facing a powerful enemy with a lifespan of hundreds of years, and his mental control ability was several times stronger than Lin Yuan's.
When Lin Yuan himself was trapped in the environment it created, he would even be confused.
She didn't know what kind of mental illusion Ni Ji encountered when he was captured by the scarlet egg.
What could make a calm and self-possessed sentry like Ni Ji so angry?
I think it must be related to me. That monster used Ni Ji to seduce me. Of course, it is also possible that he used his own appearance to torture Ni Ji.
He doesn't even dare to look at himself now.
Even the tentacles that he had always liked, he subconsciously avoided.
【Angry】Tentacle? Said.
Lin Yuan also felt that he was angry.
The battle entered a white-hot stage.
The scarlet eggs at the bottom of the cave almost covered the entire earth, but the crazy Ni Ji was also extremely terrifying. He did not hesitate to hurt himself and fed the knife with countless blood from his own body.
The long huge blade turned the entire red land upside down.
The shrill cry was resounding.
Broken blood vessels, tumors, and dirty blood all over the ground.
This place has almost become a pool of blood soaked in gore.
The crying became louder and louder, becoming piercing and sharp, covering Lin Yuan's bright moon that had barely entered this world.
A blood-red eye opened in the sky, shedding long tears of blood.
Countless bloody men wearing masks stood up and rushed towards the sentry.
被鮮血染透的黃金大樹開始挪動，朝着林苑攻擊。
倪霁被圍在一片猩紅之中，哨兵黑色的身影幾乎被淹沒，只有那?紅色的刀光時隐時現。
林苑在一片濕滑的地面上奔跑，一路躲避鮮血淋漓追上來的黃金樹。
虎鯨出現了好幾次，拍開鋪天蓋地的尖矛。又在空氣裏消失。
再一次掙紮現身，幾息間又一次潰散。
每個人都到了極限。
生死之戰，幾度命懸。
林苑知道，越是這樣難，這樣艱險，越說明勝利近在前方。敵人已是強弩之末，在做最?後的困獸之鬥。
自己傷痕累累。敵人也已經千瘡百孔，也到了瀕死的邊緣。
只要再一點，再能夠堅持一點點時間。
她覺得腦袋很疼，一陣陣的抽搐，過度使用精神力帶來的後遺症開始出現。
身體也很疼，好幾次破空而?來的金色長｜槍傷到了她身體。她流了很多血，腳底打滑，有一點跑不?動了。
她是向導，擁有強大的精神力和不?太适合戰鬥的身體。
對方比自己更清楚這一點。所有的攻擊都是針對她的肉|體而?來。
倪霁的虎鯨出現，又消失。觸手?們也全都傷痕累累，很多已經沒有力氣以實體形态出現。
再堅持一下，林苑想?，一下下就好。
倪霁倒下去好幾次，又撐着長刀站起來，他擦了一下被鮮血糊住的視線。
空中，那?枚明月不?知道什麽?時候不?見了，只留着一只猩紅的眼睛死死盯着自己。
他的身體流了過多的血，有一點站立不?住的感覺。
還差一點點，他想?。
他看見了一個古怪的小小生物?從一片血腥的地底爬出。
十幾只手?臂，三個頭顱，滿身都是眼睛，像一個還沒有發育完全的古怪胚胎。
那?小小的古怪生物?從滿地碎裂的血肉裏爬出來，以異常敏捷的速度向遠方爬去。
這是敵人的最?終形态，殺了它就結束了。數百次戰場經驗帶來的直覺告訴倪霁。
如果被它跑了，惡戰還将延續，沒完沒了。
倪霁拖着幾乎動不?了的身體往前追，那?只怪物?的爬得很快，而?他的腿重?得像鉛塊一般。
他已經很久沒有遇到這樣艱難的戰鬥。
只差一點，最?後了。
幾只觸手?突然從地底湧了出來，纏繞住那?個形态模糊的血紅胚胎。
觸手?們并不?是适合戰鬥的精神體，嬌嫩得很，但它們死死纏住那?只血淋淋的怪物?，哪怕被瞬間咬傷了好幾根。
倪霁的刀在下一刻趕到。紅色的長刀避開觸手?們的腕足，釘住那?只蠕動掙紮的血腥之卵。
長刀沒有了鮮血的供養，已經變得很細很薄。
刀尖避開所有的觸手?，長長的刀刃刺進那?只怪物?的身體。
結束了。
倪霁透過薄薄的刀刃看見戰場的另外一端。
幾乎像是慢動作?一樣，林苑的身體倒在了滑膩的血紅地面。
黃金樹長長的一根樹枝，穿透了她柔軟的腹部。
她本來或許來得及避開，但她分心控制了觸手?。
戰場就是這樣。
有時候你認為自己永遠不?會死，自己每一次都可以守護住自己想?要守護的人。
但實際上誰也不?知道死神下一次降臨在哪裏。
幾乎每一個生命，不?論是你視如珍寶的明月，還是無關緊要的野草，在死亡面前都是平等的。
都一樣可能會突然消失在你眼前。
一切都發生得猝不?及防。
林苑就那?樣倒了下去。她躺在地上，吐出了一點血，看着近在眼前金黃的大樹。
那?本來是她想?要帶走的人。
她失敗了，沒有辦成?自己想?做的事。
帶着金色面具的薰華冷冷注視着她，紅色的血污覆蓋住了他金色的面具，蓋住了他僅餘的人性。
戴着面具的男人神色冰冷，麻木而?空洞，是一具被鬼魅驅使的傀儡。
尖銳的黃金樹枝緩緩從林苑腹部抽出，再一次向林苑刺去。
染血的尖端抵住林苑的胸腔，恰好抵在那?一塊小小的石頭吊墜上。
槍尖在那?裏凝固了。
一滴金色的眼淚滴了下來，點在那?塊不?起眼的心形石頭上，讓它變成?了一顆黃金色的心。
保持着刺殺林苑的姿勢不?動。璀璨的黃金樹開始枯萎，從枝葉開始，從樹根開始，巨大的樹身緩緩潰散，紛紛搖搖的枯枝掉進滿地粘稠的鮮血中。
倪霁朝地上的林苑跑過去。
那?個還沒有完全死掉的胚胎開始企圖逃跑。它支着幾條最?後的血管悄悄爬起來，慢慢去拔起倪霁的刀。
倪霁頭也沒回，血紅的刀光密密麻麻斬出，精準利落，充滿鋪天蓋地的戾氣。
漫天鮮血淋漓的肉塊下雨一般地掉落下來，血管，肉塊，被切得極其細碎，在地面抖動片刻，終于徹底不?再動彈。
倪霁本用不?着出這麽?多刀，那?只是一塊很小的胚胎。
但他控制不?住自己，心底有一股巨大恐慌堵着，不?這麽?做幾乎就會立刻瘋了。
倪霁踩着滿地黏膩的肉塊向前跑，他本來是一個以速度見長的哨兵。
但那?一刻，他恨自己跑得那?麽?慢。
奔跑的速度幾乎像一只蝸牛，那?麽?短的一點路程似乎變得無比遙遠，花費的時間漫長到令人窒息。
林苑躺在那?裏，躺在血肉模糊的地面，躺在掉落滿地的黃金枝葉上。
紅色的血液從林苑的後背流出，混雜在那?些冰冷又耀眼的金屬上，擴張的速度很快。
天空裏枯萎的黃金樹葉化為蒼白的灰燼，像白雪一般飄飄蕩蕩地落下。
林苑睜着眼睛，臉上的神色和平時一樣，淡淡地，很平靜，似乎并不?在乎接下來要發生的事。
哪怕那?件事，是自己生命的消散。
死亡不?是很常見的一件事嗎？
既然這裏的那?麽?多人都死了，那?麽?進到這個污染區的自己當然也随時都有可能會死掉。
這是林苑很早就知道的事。
只是好像也沒有自己曾經想?象的那?麽?灑脫。她發現她居然也有不?少放不?下的事。
家裏的螃蟹該怎麽?辦？
真想?再見小鳥他們一面。
儲藏的那?些糖果沒吃完真是可惜了。
還想?問問倪霁，他剛剛在幻境裏到底遇到了什麽?。
倪霁來到她的身邊，把自己帶着的所有藥品嘩啦一下倒出來。
他咬開敷料的包裝袋，用一堆的止血藥和紗布堵住林苑腹部的那?個洞，鮮紅的顏色在雪白的紗布上洇開，血很快滲透出來，沿着他的指縫往外流。
倪霁是一個久經沙場的哨兵，對每一種致命的傷勢都判斷精準。
這樣的傷別?說是向導，就是一個等級低一些的哨兵，都救不?回來。
有一個冰冷的聲音在他的腦子裏說，她沒救了，只剩下幾分鐘的命。
但他管不?住自己。他死死按住那?個傷口?，好像只要這樣按着，血就能夠不?會再流，死亡也能被阻止。
他把林苑從地上抱了起來，抱進自己懷裏。
向導的肩膀比看上去還要瘦小，這樣柔弱的身軀，很難想?象裏面擁有一個那?樣堅強的靈魂。
她第一個拿到了鑰匙，為所有人打開逃生之門。
但她自己卻沒有走，她想?毀了這個污穢不?堪的世界。
她做到了。代價是她自己的命。
林苑咳嗽了一聲，紅色的血從她的嘴角嗆出來，
“好疼啊。”她看着倪霁說，“怎麽?這麽?疼。”
她的聲音很軟，好像沒什麽?力氣，很快就要睡着了一樣。
倪霁的肩膀顫抖了起來，他知道自己無能為力，沒有任何辦法，他所學所會的一切，在此刻都派不?上用場，唯一能做的只能把懷裏的向導抱得更緊一點。
這樣的事他其實見得很多。
受傷，死亡，生離死別?。
在戰場上他送走過無數自己的摯友。這本來是每一個經歷過多年戰場的士兵熟悉的場面。
應該習慣了。能夠忍受的。沒什麽?大不?了，每個戰士都體驗過的。
再珍惜和不?舍得都沒辦法，心裏再痛苦，哪怕像刀子生生挖開心髒，也阻止不?了死亡。
這是我身邊最?後一個人了。他想?。
最?後一個珍惜的人，也即将被奪走。
而?他會被留下來，活着。
從此海上永不?再有月光，他會被留在漆黑一片的世界裏，永遠不?會再有人摸摸他的頭發，給他帶來一夜的安眠。
林苑感覺到有冰冷的水滴掉在了自己的臉頰上。
她躺在倪霁的懷裏，從來沒有見過這個哨兵露出這樣狼狽的表情。他好像很弱小，在那?裏哭，眼淚無聲地掉到了自己的臉上。
“別?哭了，我可不?想?看見你這樣哭。”林苑笑了起來，莫名其妙地，想?在這個時候開玩笑。
“我啊，剛剛才在幻境裏看見你哭了一次。”
她看見那?個哨兵咬住了嘴唇，把他自己的嘴唇都咬破了。
Lin Yuan wanted to make fun of him, but felt it was inappropriate, so he had to talk to him, "After you go back, you can find another guide. The ones we met at the banquet last time are all my friends, very gentle, and better at mental grooming than me..."
Lin Yuan didn't know why he suddenly became so talkative.
But this is the last time I will be able to speak. After death, I will sleep forever, so it won’t matter if I say a few more words now.
But fatigue surged into her heart, her eyelids began to feel heavy, and she felt that she needed a rest.
