The system thoroughly searched the area where the intelligent beings had died, but found absolutely nothing left, as if the intelligent beings had simply vanished into thin air.
The detector continuously updated the map as Jiang Shuyin moved.
—A large marine creature is approaching from 8°44km to the southeast.
[Host changes course, using someone else to do the dirty work!]
Jiang Shuyin: "What if they are of the same kind? Wouldn't that be like lambs to the slaughter?"
No, I've already marked the burrowing bug. If it's the same type, the detector will show it.
Since that's what she said, she changed direction and the ice surface extended to the southeast.
With a kilometer to go, strange whistles sounded repeatedly. The giant creature chasing behind her seemed to be enraged, and when it overtook her, it shattered the ice.
The two giants were entangled together, their shapes and structures seemingly similar. The new giant looked more like it was made of rusty steel wires, but upon closer inspection, they were not steel wires at all, but rather thick blood vessels.
Its head has two mouthparts resembling pig nostrils, which suck onto the body of the burrowing monster, causing them to devour each other.
The newly discovered creature is the Flying Water Locust, which can fly and has a strong immune system, but weak cognitive abilities. Its weakness lies in its ability to solidify, which can be countered by freezing the host.
Jiang Shuyin had already run in the opposite direction.
"That burrowing worm could have easily caught up with me, but it kept following me."
It's terrifying to think about.
It's normal for powerful beings like them to look down on humans; perhaps they're just bored and playing with you.
Jiang Shuyin: "......"
She had run less than a kilometer when the two monsters, still fighting, started chasing after her.
Jiang Shuyin had no choice but to speed up.
After a thrilling day, the blue moon finally appeared, and the giant gradually calmed down and sank to the bottom of the water.
Looking at the crescent moon again, Jiang Shuyin seemed to understand the meaning of its existence.
Bathed in blue light, I felt incredibly peaceful and just wanted to have a good night's sleep. The tension from being chased during the day vanished, and even the terrifying monster didn't seem so scary anymore.
Sleep well—sleep well—
[Host, intelligent beings have appeared!]
It's to the southeast; just follow the map.
Jiang Shu forced open her heavy eyelids, took Qingwu and the others into the safe house to rest, and then, supporting herself, headed over there.
My head feels heavy, and my feet feel light.
The blue dots on the map, which represent intelligent beings, are also approaching this direction, much faster than Jiang Shuyin.
"Bang"
Jiang Shuyin still couldn't withstand the baptism of the blue moon, and fell asleep on the ice, sliding a few meters before stopping.
The sea was calm and the azure waters stretched to the horizon, with faint blue bands of light shimmering on the gentle ripples.
A dark shadow approached from afar; an intelligent creature, singing a beautiful song, slowly drew near from the seabed.
After clearly seeing the creatures affected by the Blue Moon, Na's beautiful azure eyes trembled slightly, and her deep blue hair brushed against her pale skin with the movement.
Carefully parting the unfamiliar creature's hair, he saw her pale skin and assumed she was a lost member of his tribe, so he picked her up and took her back to his tribe.
Jiang Shuyin's weight was too light for him.
Are they members of their race imprisoned by greedy predators? Their talents were maliciously suppressed, leaving them so frail.
The system is scanning for intelligent life forms that have appeared.
[The creature was detected to be an ancient merman, with a primitive genetic sequence, a human head and a fish tail, highly aggressive, but also soft-hearted and bloodthirsty.]
Could there be other intelligent beings in this field? Was it not merfolk detected last time?
The merman had already taken Jiang Shuyin into the water as one of his own and was preparing to carry her back.
【Why!】
Jiang Shuyin almost choked to death. When she opened her eyes, she found herself being held by a naked person. She glared at him fiercely and went to the surface of the water to breathe.
The merman didn't understand why she was angry, and pulled her aside to explain.
Jiang Shu failed to catch her breath; her brain was already oxygen-deprived and her vision was going black.
Why not just approach him and steal his oxygen?
The merman's breathing quickened from her kiss, the invisible gills on his cheeks flickered faster, and he gently pushed her away.
Jiang Shuyin's face twitched. Holding her last breath, she floated to the surface, gasped for air, and, after recovering, flipped onto the still-unmelted ice to lie face down.
The merman followed her to the surface, his gills closed, leaving almost no gaps.
He asked her in a chant-like voice, "Don't you want to come with me? I'm not bad."
Jiang Shuyin looked at him. He was beautiful and good at singing. He was dressed in a cool color scheme and wore a gauze dress. He was so thin that he didn't look like a human. She poked her head out and looked at the water.
The azure sea had low visibility, and it was nighttime.
She could only see her narrow waist and abdomen underwater, with her chest heaving slightly.
Jiang Shuyin pretended not to be able to speak, pointed to her throat, and shook her head.
The merman seemed to understand, his eyes filled with pity and tenderness: "Do you want to regain your fishtail? I'll take you to the High Priest."
Fish tail? Mermaid? Or a humanoid mermaid?
Jiang Shu shook her head vigorously, pointed to the water, and looked scared.
The merman was surprised, his eyes narrowing slightly: "What exactly did they do to you?"
Jiang Shuyin remained silent, propping herself up on her hand and sitting sideways on the ice, her head drooping over her shoulder.
The merman sighed, a sound as beautiful as a song.
【Host, let's go take a look. Maybe that high priest can help you go back.】
Yes, she has to go back.
Finally, the merman took her hand and led her to swim on the surface of the water.
The fish's large tail would occasionally surface, drawing a glare of amazement from Jiang Shuyin. Its scales refracted blue light under the sun, making it seem unreal.
She didn't reach out to touch it; the sound of the fish's tail slapping the water was quite loud, and her hand might break if she went over.
Mermaids are incredibly fast. It felt like being pulled by a yacht, a speed similar to ice skating, but it would strain your arms.
