Megalodons are deep-sea monsters that live in the dark depths of the ocean, between 10,000 and 20,000 meters below the surface. These enormous sea monsters frequently attack mermaid cities in the treacherous ocean, causing many mermaid casualties. Many mermaids who enjoy diving into the deep sea for adventure have also perished in the jaws of these monsters.
Every year, the military fish of the East Sea Naval District rescue many mermaids who are being chased by sea monsters.
Megalodons have enormous bodies, typically ranging from 100 to 1,000 meters in length. Their massive size means that they are generally slower than mermaids, and mermaids rarely perish in their jaws.
The giant beast chasing and toying with the mermaid wasn't particularly large, only a little over two hundred meters long. A normal mermaid could usually escape its hunting range with a flick of its tail. However, for some reason, the mermaid being chased was swimming with extremely graceful movements, but its slow speed meant that even with all its might, it could only circle around the giant beast's huge mouth. If it weren't for the powerful tail flick that allowed it to break free from the suction when the giant beast inhaled forcefully, it would probably have already perished.
Even so, the mermaid's porcelain-colored, undulating tail had been torn open by the giant beast's teeth, and faint streaks of blood were spreading in the water.
Mu Mu's expression hardened, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, that mermaid is in danger!"
"Hmm." Before he could speak, Dongjun had already raised his hands. Beside him, the seawater began to churn and endless bubbles appeared. If you looked at the sea surface, you could see a cloud of steam rising into the sky.
The next moment, the rocks on the calm seabed suddenly cracked open under the belly of the megalodon, and endless bubbles rose rapidly from there. The bubbles, containing water vapor and intense heat, burst violently the moment they touched the megalodon. The huge megalodon was stunned for a moment, and soon howled in agony from the burning pain in its abdomen.
Dongjun controlled the high temperature very well. Except for the area around him and the crack, the seawater in other places remained calm and did not boil.
Volcanic mermaids can control fire and any lava. When in the sea, they can communicate with the lava within their range, pushing open the seabed and letting the high temperature of the flowing lava damage enemies. Powerful volcanic mermaids can even summon fire that cannot be extinguished by seawater directly from the seabed.
Dongjun was too lazy to exert so much effort. It was just a small giant tooth beast. A small warning would suffice. If he were to actually kill it, the entire sea would be enveloped in the smell of the giant tooth beast being cooked. Would this be a welcome party for the dragon or a mermaid barbecue?
The boiling bubbles multiplied rapidly, quickly forming a curtain that separated the mermaid from the giant beast. Although the fleeing mermaid didn't feel the change in sea temperature, he heard the giant beast's screams. The mermaid instinctively looked back and saw the giant beast desperately sliding its fleshy wings, retreating away from the curtain of rolling bubbles. Its golden-brown eyes glared resentfully at the delicious meal that was just beyond its reach. In the end, it could only pat its tail, turn around, and swim away.
Having scared away the giant beast, Dongjun withdrew his hands, and the cracks in the seabed closed up. He released and controlled the hot bubbles one by one, and they all floated to the surface of the sea.
Without the high-temperature bubbles controlled by the volcanic mermaid, the bubbles cool down rapidly as they rise, at most warming the seawater slightly for a while, but it won't have any significant impact.
After seeing the giant beast escape, the celadon-tailed mermaid turned back. This time, no longer in a hurry to flee, he calmed himself down and immediately spotted the two conspicuously red mermaids. He hesitated for a moment, then swam towards them, swaying his tail. He stopped about ten meters away from Dongjun and Mumu, placed his right hand on his chest, bowed his head in gratitude, and a gentle, clear voice rang out: "My name is Jiuxiao. Thank you for saving my life."
After the ceremony, Jiu Xiao raised his head, immediately eliciting a slightly surprised expression from Mu Mu.
If Dongjun's appearance is an aggressively stunning beauty that can make fish lose their senses at a glance, a breathtaking and awe-inspiring sight, then the beauty of this mermaid before us is of a completely different style.
His entire being exuded a serene and gentle aura, like the soft, soothing clouds in the sky—a truly tender feeling. His blue eyes, whenever they looked at someone, were filled with tenderness and focus, making the fish feel as if they were his entire world.
Compared to Dongjun, he was slightly thinner, with a thin layer of muscle that was clearly defined, and his skin was white and delicate like porcelain, as if it were faintly glowing.
Mermaids are generally good-looking; it's hard to find an ugly one. However, those as beautiful as Dongjun, whose beauty eclipses the heavens and earth, are extremely rare. Mu Mu never expected that the mermaid her king rescued so casually would be such a stunningly beautiful creature.
Oh no, Jiuxiao can't be described as pretty. He's more like gentle and handsome, like the warm and elegant porcelain of ancient times, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
While Mu Mu was marveling at Jiu Xiao's appearance, Jiu Xiao was also focusing his attention on Dong Jun, and his expression also revealed surprise.
Only Dongjun remained with a cold, stone-like expression, standing out awkwardly among the two astonished mermaids.
"Send him to the medical team." This was Dongjun's only sentence, so cold it could scare the little mermaid to tears. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was talking to a prisoner.
Jiuxiao maintained his gentle and polite demeanor, completely unfazed by Dongjun's coldness, and nodded with a smile, saying, "I'm really sorry to trouble you two."
