Chapter 62: Beast World (Twenty-Six)
"Are you sure it's here?"
"Um,"
"But it's so dark here, I can't see anything clearly."
"There is ink,"
Chu Yun didn’t understand what it meant.
[This place is not far from the squid tribe. It's near where the squid hunt. They use ink to hunt, so it's pitch black here.]
I see. It's quite difficult to talk to Shen. He speaks no more than five words at a time, and a fool like Chu Yun can't react at all.
This place is so big, how is he going to find Mengze? With Shen, the mermaid, by his side, he would probably be tied up by the squid tribe before they even met.
"Shen, what do you think we should do? I'm a rabbit beastman. If I go, the squid shouldn't give me too much trouble..."
After all, I have no grudge against them.
As he expected, he disagreed.
Chu Yun couldn't think of a solution himself, so he could only ask Shen for his opinion.
Shen didn't say anything and took Chuyun to hide behind a hidden big rock. After a while, Chuyun saw a swaying squid orc coming.
Like most orcs, his upper body consists of a normal head and chest, but below the waist it becomes a bit scary, with dazzling tentacles moving around, covered with dense suction cups.
Chu Yun felt numb all over after taking a look and quickly closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, the tentacles were almost touching my face, wriggling in front of me with their claws and fangs bared.
Chu Yun's courage was cultivated in this world. He has seen everything except ghosts.
But he was still frightened and cried out softly, knowing that this was the squid's territory and he was afraid of being discovered.
He shackled the squid orc tightly, covered his mouth to prevent him from making any sound, and captured him before he even opened his eyes.
"ask."
Chu Yun looked at the exasperated squid orc and understood Shen's meaning, so he asked him any questions he had.
Chu Yun’s mind suddenly flashed back to the spy movies he watched with his grandmother when he was a child, in which the protagonist was captured by the enemy and tortured.
The scene overlapped with the present, and Chu Yun became the villain, viciously trying to make this person tell everything...
Chu Yun had a serious face and puffed out his chest to try to make himself look tall and mighty:
"explain!"
The squid orc looked at the little female who was looking at him with her puffed up face. She was very cute and smelled good. Why was she with this stinky mermaid?
He wasn't much worse than a mermaid, with perfect tentacles. Wouldn't that be better looking than a tail? To show his friendliness, he smiled at Chu Yun.
However, he still didn't quite understand:
"Say—what are you talking about?"
"Don't be so playful with me! Who is the four-striped beast that helped you attack the mermaids?"
Chu Yun was unprecedentedly tough and had already gotten into the role.
[Wow, so cool~]
001 teased, causing Lian Shen to look at him with a small smile.
Well, it seems that I am indeed domineering.
When the squid beastman heard that it was the mermaids who sent people to inquire about the four-striped beast, he looked alert and said, "That can't be said."
The mermaids are cunning and even used the beauty trap, but it was useless. He was determined that his plan to strengthen the squid tribe would not be destroyed by him.
Chu Yun saw the big squid struggling frantically. Shen Du almost couldn't hold him down. He was spitting ink while struggling. The surrounding sea water became darker and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
"I won't tell you! I won't tell you even if I die. If you have the guts, just kill me!"
With a puff, a large ball of ink sprayed towards Shen's face.
Chu Yun quickly covered his mouth, afraid that he would laugh.
Shen's fair and handsome face turned black, and his beautiful long hair became extremely dirty. Anyone who saw him would say, "Where did this beggar come from?"
Shen's face looked extremely ugly, his lips were tightly pursed, and he stared at the inkless squid without saying a word.
Chu Yun thought that he didn't curse because he stuttered and was not very good at speaking.
He covered his mouth with his hands, but the big squid brother also proved with his eyes that he would rather die than surrender.
This is a difficult situation. Chu Yun was discouraged and didn't know how to force a confession. He couldn't just use force.
"Move your hands."
Shen said these two words with gritted teeth.
Chu Yun couldn't bear to torture him. He glanced at his big brother's pile of tentacles, wondering which one Shen would chop off first...
"...You should do it. I can't do it."
So Shen took action in anger.
—Ahahahaha, don’t…hahahaha, I won’t tell you…ahhaha, help, help…
Chu Yun: ...
001:……
Chu Yun rolled his eyes at the squid that was laughing so hard that it was out of breath, then looked at Shen who was squatting beside him and using some seaweed to tickle the squid's flesh, then he let out a breath and closed his eyes.
Is this playing house?
Chu Yun reflected: "Compared to me, they are still too naive."
The big squid brother was tortured to the point of being unable to breathe, and his tentacles were itching and curled up and running around.
“…Huhu, I’m telling you, I won’t… give in, hahaha, ouch ouch.”
Shen continued to rub the small seaweed all over his body.
"Hahahaha - I won't tell you that the powerful four-striped white snake brother is in our tribe. Don't even think about getting any information out of me..."
Chu Yun: ...This must be intentional.
When the squid brothers were released, their bodies turned limp into a puddle of mud, the ink in their bodies had been squeezed dry, and they lay on the ground with no desire to live.
"It's done now. The four-striped beast is Mengze. It's confirmed."
Just as he was saying this, Mengze arrived.
Before he and Shen could react, the white snake's tail suddenly wrapped around Chu Yun and pulled him away. Shen wanted to fight when he saw that his partner was gone.
Mengze didn't want to fight Shen now. He hadn't seen the little rabbit for a long time.
Holding Chu Yun, breathing in his fragrance, and touching his soft big ears, Meng Ze felt alive again and his heart began to beat again.
I don’t know if Chu Yun missed him, the little rabbit was still laughing heartlessly: "Meng Ze, I found you. When I heard the four-striped beast coming from the seabed, I knew it must be you!"
When Shen heard Chu Yun's excited voice, he lowered his tail which was about to whip over.
There's no need to do anything, Chu Yun is the one who's about to leave...
"Mengze, are you going to help the squid tribe attack the mermaids? Please don't fight. I'm worried that you might get hurt."
Chu Yun was smart at this time. Worried that Meng Ze still couldn't bear it and wanted to fight, he used a little trick and said what Meng Ze wanted to hear.
How could Meng Ze not see it? He was anxious and angry, but when Chu Yun came back to him and was not seduced away by the mermaid, he no longer felt angry.
Originally, he agreed to the squid attack just to get Chuyun back. Chuyun coaxed him, so Mengze had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, let's go home."
From beginning to end, Mengze didn't even look at the lonely blue-tailed mermaid not far away. He was a loser for not being able to keep Chuyun, so there was no need for him to beat him up again.
It was in vain that Chu Yun felt sorry for him.
Chu Yun heard that it was time to return to land, so he turned around and said goodbye to Shen: "Shen, I'm going home. If you're bored, you can come to land to play. There are a lot of delicious food and fun things to do, just as good as the seabed."
Shen just kept looking at Chu Yun without saying a word, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Mengze put his arm around Chuyun's waist:
"Leave."
Chu Yun was still hoping that Shen could say goodbye to him, but Shen didn't say anything. Chu Yun thought that Shen was not a talkative person and was introverted.
Chu Yun waved his hand: "Thank you for your care, goodbye then."
Shen also imitated him and waved his hands mechanically.
They left.
A faint light flashed by, and the seabed soon returned to calm.
The squid cubs come out to play. They are keen on catching small fish and shrimps and picking up beautiful little stones.
A small cry:
"Wow, look how beautiful it is~"
——"Wow, why are there pearls here?"
——"It's so pretty, and it's pink."
——"It's really huge."
