When I got to the surface, it was still sunny, but I didn't know whether it was morning or afternoon. But on the way back, the sky gradually darkened, and Xia Xiao was sure that night was approaching. As the dusk deepened, Xia Xiao's brain was heavy, and he forgot how to calculate the time, and he didn't know how many days and nights it had been since he set out.

Xia Xiao was groggy and felt extreme tearing pain, but he still relied on his body's instinct to rush forward. Ah Zhu followed behind, being pulled by him to paddle under the sea, and had not yet noticed that something was wrong with Xia Xiao. But she kept watching Xia Xiao, as if she felt that he was about to give up. This continued for several hours, and Ah Zhu fell into a daze and slept for a few times. When she woke up, Xia Xiao was still holding the knife, holding a rope, pulling herself towards the shore.

The sky gradually darkened, and Ah Zhu wanted Xia Xiao to rest for a while, as she felt that the latter was showing off. Although Xia Xiao was not weak, he was injured and had been running for so long, and anyone could not bear it. However, Xia Xiao did not slow down or stop at her suggestion, but just went faster.

A sound wave exploded in the sea. Ah Zhu was surprised at Xia Xiao's endurance, but became even more worried. Under the sea, two figures were incredibly fast, suddenly passing through the edge of the deep sea and reaching the shallow water. Then, Xia Xiao's eyes blurred, and the sound of his heartbeat was very heavy and loud, like a hypnosis, making him fall into the water.

"Xia Xiao!"

Ah Zhu couldn't swim. She was a complete landlubber. She had no chance to swim in the mountain village since she was a child, and there was no place to swim in the academy. But in this shallow sea area, she could stand up and keep her head above the water. The sea water was cold, and Ah Zhu groped for Xia Xiao in it, and dragged him to the shore with the help of the waves.

The waves helped and blocked him, and it took Ah Zhu a lot of effort. But when they lay on the beach, Xia Xiao mechanically bent his fingers and formed a seal.

How strong must his willpower be to be able to form a seal after fainting?

Ah Zhu was amazed. When the space around him was torn apart, he held the machete tightly and lost consciousness. Although Xia Xiao was in a bad condition, or even very bad, he had to bring Ah Zhu back to the shore after Xiaoyu brought the pearl back to the contract space. Although this sentence was simple, it consumed all of Xia Xiao's strength.

Ju Mang came out of the contract space and continued to act on behalf of Xia Xiao's consciousness. Compared with Huo Dou and Xiao Yu, Ju Mang's actions were most in line with Xia Xiao's wishes.

"Azhu, take Xia Xiao back to the house. It's going to rain soon. Hurry up."

Seeing Ju Mang flying into the sky, Ah Zhu was curious and asked:

"What are you going to do?"

"Xia Xiao is worried that someone will discover us, so I'll go create some lightning to attract their attention."

Xia Xiao has always been cautious, so cautious that Ah Zhu was amazed. He thought of things that Ah Zhu would never think of in her life. She thought that such a cautious character could only be found in perfect characters in books. Little did she know that this was all forced upon her. Those years in Longgang, the imperial capital, were like a brand deeply engraved in Xia Xiao's heart, and also made him develop a character that would be difficult to change in his life.

Shouting one, two, three, Ah Zhu successfully carried Xia Xiao on her back the first time. She was weak, but she came from the countryside and had carried millet seedlings before, so Xia Xiao's weight was nothing. But what worried Ah Zhu was the knife!

Xia Xiao still held the knife in his right hand, fearing that he would lose it. He had a deep attachment to it and could not leave it. Although it was fine for Xia Xiao to hold it, Ah Zhu did not need to take it. But it kept shaking, which frightened Ah Zhu, as if the knife was about to chop him. While guarding against the knife, Ah Zhu walked quickly.

Boom!

There was thunder overhead, and Ah Zhu hurriedly glanced at the sky. In the dark clouds, Ju Mang's eyes were filled with lightning. As the lightning crackled and sparks flew, he controlled the lightning around him and could strike at any time. Xia Xiao hadn't fought so hard for a long time, but now he was unconscious, and it was his turn to protect him!

Ju Mang held lightning in his claws, like grabbing two thunder pythons, and stared at Ah Zhu's direction, seeing that he was walking very fast. As Xia Xiao's contracted beast, Ju Mang knew that he didn't like this girl, because she was troublesome and was the inverse of Shu Shuang. But now, when he completely lost consciousness and even fainted, this girl was more reliable than expected.

The wind was blowing and a heavy rain was coming. Ah Zhu felt cold all over, but she gritted her teeth and kept moving forward. The last time she carried things like this back home was when she harvested the grain. Her grandmother was not in good health, so she carried two people's portions by herself.

Because she didn't want to worry her grandma, Ah Zhu gritted her teeth and walked very fast, but she was afraid of falling to the ground, so she was very careful. Last time, she fell as soon as she arrived at the yard where the grain was drying, and this time, she fell before she even got home.

The already damp ground had grown some kind of moss in the weather, causing Ah Zhu to fall several meters and even roll on the ground for several circles. Xia Xiao also fell heavily to the ground. Ah Zhu got up in a panic, and when he heard the noises around him, he quickly pulled Xia Xiao to hide in an alley on the side.

Xia Xiao had always said that they must not reveal their identities and arouse other people's suspicion. It was late at night, and they were both wearing black clothes, and they were both wet. It was obvious that they had just come out of the sea. If they were caught by others, how would they explain it? Ah Zhu was a bit stupid, and he didn't have time to sense the other person's breath, so he hugged Xia Xiao and hid next to the trash can.

Ah Zhu was trying to cover up his crime by holding onto Xia Xiao's head. He couldn't smell the stench or feel the dirt, thinking to himself "Can't see me? Can't see me?" He just listened to the footsteps passing by very close to him in fear.

The footsteps were very erratic, and they were talking nonsense, as if they were drunk. Ah Zhu sneaked to the alley entrance and was relieved when he saw them leave.

When Ah Zhu carried Xia Xiao on his back again, he felt disgusted and even nauseous. Why was his hand sticky? What was this? The alley became Ah Zhu's shadow, and he turned around and left, not wanting to stay any longer. At this time, it started to rain.

This time, Ah Zhu was the only one walking on the dark night road, but because she was carrying this guy on her back, she was not afraid at all and just complained a few words.

"I should have known not to eat barbecue and live in a house closer to the beach."

Ah Zhu paused for a moment. What she was worried about happened. Xia Xiao's machete scratched her clothes, cutting a small wound on her skin. Ah Zhu felt a little pain. She felt a warm sensation and seemed to be bleeding. She hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to take steps, as strong as Xia Xiao, posing as a determined strong person.

After passing through several streets and alleys, Ah Zhu finally reached his residence. The drizzle that had been there before also became fierce, and suddenly it became heavy, and the sound of rain covered the tranquility.

Standing under the eaves, Ah Zhu looked up at the sky. If it weren't for Ju Mang, she would have suffered even more. Taking out the key from her body, Ah Zhu entered the room. There happened to be a lightning bolt behind her, which made her rush into the room and lock the door. Did someone really follow? Who could it be?

Ah Zhu suddenly didn't know what to do. She closed the window, lit a candle, and looked at Xia Xiao. If it was him, what would he do?

Ah Zhu had two scratches, three bruises, and a cut on her arm, but she didn't have time to take care of it because she suddenly thought of a solution and got busy. She dried Xia Xiao's hair and put it in the bathroom, and put the black clothes and machete in the basket in the toilet. She also took off her clothes, wrapped herself in a nightgown, and lay down as if she had stayed in the room all night.

In the sky, Ju Mang's claws continuously drew lightning, which scorched the ground of the coastal city and awakened countless sleeping people. But if the person who was struck by lightning twice was hit again, it would be too unlucky.

Pipi frowned, looked at the sky, and cursed:

"What the hell? Are you interested in me?"

Ju Mang noticed his fluctuations and stopped attacking, because Ah Zhu had already brought Xia Xiao back to the room. There were so many people in that inn, and it was impossible for this man from the sea to knock on the door one by one.

As expected, Pipi was lost in thought as he stood in front of the dilapidated inn. This second floor was a bit strange, as if it could eat people. He had clearly noticed that the two people had come here before, but now there was no similar smell. How could he find them?

The vitality scanned them all, and they were all asleep, without any abnormal fluctuations. But his pearl had long lost its aura, could it be that the person who took the pearl had already fled far away? This shouldn't be the case, he had only been away from the Dragon Palace for two hours, and then he came to land. Even if that person was fast...

Pipi suddenly realized that the man might still be at sea, hiding on a ship. It was not impossible, but he had seen two people rushing from the sea to the land before. Was it a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain? Or was it just a coincidence?

Pippi had seen the two men going up to the second floor from a distance before. Although he couldn't see clearly which room they entered in the lightning, he was ready to knock on the doors one by one, since there were only ten rooms anyway.

After knocking on the first six doors, the people who came to open the door were full of anger. What was even more infuriating was that Pippi said nothing, but just looked at them like a psychopath.

strangeness!

Pipi slightly activated the magic power in his body, hoping to use that power to sense whether the pearl had passed through their hands, but the first six did not react at all. There was no one in the seventh room. When he was about to knock on the eighth room, a fat middle-aged woman came out from the first floor, wrapped in a cotton coat, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Are you fucking crazy? Why are you knocking so hard at night and not sleeping?"

"I advise you to go back to sleep!"

Pippi turned around and gave a fierce look, but the woman shouted at a few people to come out, and the continuous curses pierced through the sound of rain and hit Pippi directly.

The windows opened one after another, and there were inevitably practitioners among them. They emitted fluctuations of vital energy, which repeatedly sensed Pipi, causing him to frown. He quickly withdrew the magic power in his body, and then left in shame, fearing to be exposed.

"Human women are really hard to mess with. I really don't know how that sea snake got so addicted to it?"

Standing at the highest point of the city, Pipi was worried in the rain. He washed his face with the rain, thinking about what to do. If the magic energy was exposed, the magic patterns in the Dragon Palace would be cleared by human strongmen, and humans would be more vigilant. A small pearl caused such a big commotion, and he was annoyed just thinking about it.

Another lightning bolt struck, making Pipi angry. But no matter how much he cursed, who told him to stand at the highest point in the rain? He was a seaman and forgot about it. In the end, he could only run to the sea and look for the pearl on various ships. On land, he was full of lightning, and in the sea, he created strong winds and waves, overturning and tearing up ships one by one, and then he looked for the whereabouts of the pearl among the wreckage.
