Chapter 104
The night is lonely.
Under the beam of the player's powerful lighting tool, the scales on the two mermaids' tails reflected a crystal clear light.
The mermaid's tail leaped into the air, and as the players ran to the edge of the railing, they both jumped into the sea.
"Don't jump! Come back now!"
"Ahhh, what's going on! Why is this happening?!"
Several players were so angry that their eyes burst open as they watched the two mermaids jump into the sea and disappear, their expressions already somewhat devastated.
"What should I do! My mermaid's tears!"
Without the advanced water-repellent beads, the players did not dare to jump directly into the sea to chase after it.
After a moment of daze, the A-level player was the first to regain his composure. He thought for a moment and stood up holding the railing.
"It's okay. Isn't there another mermaid?"
There are two mermaids imprisoned under the cabin!
The other one has a more resolute character and is stronger, but of course, he is also more seriously injured and is almost on the verge of death.
The monsters coveted the special energy of mermaids and tried every possible means to absorb energy from them.
When the mermaid dies, she can be devoured by the monsters.
The other players calmed down, nodded, found a secluded place, and began to discuss how to steal the mermaid.
"The octopus monster must have already started fighting with other monsters. This is a great opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation!"
One player shrank back, but still asked:
"Can't we just chase after the merman that got away?"
The A-level player sighed and said impatiently:
"If it weren't for my advanced stealth shielding props, I don't know how many dangers I would have encountered during the day. Now it's night, and there are more dangers under the sea. If you want to go, go by yourself."
The player stopped talking, but just looked at the other player hatefully and lowered his head.
The players discussed a strategy and quietly hid under the cabin.
At this moment, the little octopus was chopping a watermelon, waving its soft tentacles with metallic clanging sounds, and with one swing it cut the monster in half.
The leading fish-headed monster lay on the ground, gasping for breath. Its monster form was revealed and the entire fish head looked extremely terrifying.
"Even if you kill me, the treasure I get is this energy bead!"
The monsters couldn't wait to absorb a lot of the energy from the SS+ level transparent energy bead the moment they got it.
At this time, the energy bead has become a little turbid, no longer as crystal clear as before, and milky white impurities are floating inside.
After the human players gave the energy beads to the monsters, the monsters didn't doubt it at all.
Energy beads of this level! It's a rare opportunity!
Several monsters are just one step away from S-level. As long as they swallow this energy bead and then eat the dying mermaid, they will definitely be able to reach S-level!
But they never expected that humans would dare to deceive them!
What's in that treasure chest is not high-level energy beads at all!
The monsters only found out that the octopus monster was extremely concerned about the treasures in the treasure chest.
Any treasure that can be locked in a box must be a good thing!
But they really don’t know what it is exactly!
"It was the humans who deceived us! What we got in our hands is this energy bead!"
Obviously, my strength is about to reach S-level, so I won’t have to be afraid of this little octopus anymore!
But it’s just one step away!
The little octopus waved its tentacles, and its body grew little by little, until it filled the entire room.
It tied up the monster irritably and moved it outside to find the humans.
"Whoever took my treasure will have to pay the price!"
***
At night, there is no light on the seabed except for the glowing fish and corals.
After the injured adult mermaid jumped into the sea, his wound burst and he fell into coma again.
Xingnuo had no choice but to pull his arm and swim forward with great difficulty.
The mermaid was in very bad condition, but after returning to the sea, her recovery speed was obviously much faster than on the boat.
Xingnuo was carrying an injured adult mermaid and didn't dare to go back to the boat to wait for the little octopus.
He dragged the mermaid towards the mermaid group, wanting to send the mermaid back, and then return to the boat to find the little octopus.
But he underestimated his own strength. After swimming forward for a short while, he began to feel exhausted after dragging such a heavy mermaid.
His body felt heavy and he kept falling toward the bottom of the sea. Xingnuo exerted great effort and was barely able to move a short distance.
They temporarily stopped on a large shell, put the mermaid on it, and lay on it to rest for a while.
The soft flesh on Xingnuo's cheeks was squeezed into a ball by the hard shell. He sighed slightly, and after a while, he couldn't help but think optimistically -
Fortunately, I am a little mermaid now!
If it were a human, there would be no way he could drag the mermaid along while swimming under the sea!
I am so awesome!
After comforting himself, Xingnuo became cheerful again and continued to swim forward dragging the mermaid.
The smell of blood continued to emanate from the mermaid's wound, and Xingnuo had nothing on his body that could stop the bleeding. The blood floated away with the sea water, attracting a megalodon that was wandering around.
What a coincidence, it was the same one that was chasing Xingnuo before!
The megalodon smelled the scent of the injured mermaid, its eyes lit up, and it swam towards this side at a rapid speed.
After careful observation, the Megalodon discovered that there was only a weak mermaid cub beside the injured mermaid. The Megalodon immediately revealed its sharp fangs.
It finally got the chance!
It swam forward quickly and pounced towards Xingnuo's position.
Xingnuo's sensitivity was much stronger than before, and he sensed the approaching danger before the Megalodon attacked.
He looked at the terrain and finally dragged the mermaid towards the coral.
The coral reefs are densely packed, almost extending to the mermaid colony's side.
Due to the complex terrain of the coral reef, the megalodon couldn't directly find the two mermaids hiding inside, and it showed its fangs in extreme anger.
It watched the mermaid hide and run away, and in a rage, it started to bite the corals directly.
It nibbled at the corals along the way, leaving only wet ocean floor wherever it passed.
As a result, its speed increased significantly, and it was about to catch up with the little mermaid swimming in front.
Xingnuo swam hard, and although he had the corals as cover, he couldn't run fast while dragging a mermaid.
Just as the megalodon was about to swallow them, the adult merman woke up with a pale face.
As soon as he woke up, he realized the danger of Megalodon!
With wide eyes, the adult merman looked at the little mermaid gritting her teeth, puffing up her cheeks, and trying hard to drag her small figure forward, and her eyes were almost wet.
The adult mermaid looked back, then finally stretched out her hand and pushed the little mermaid forward with all her strength.
The megalodon opened its mouth wide and bit down. Xingnuo, who was pushed forward, escaped, but the injured mermaid had its tail bitten directly.
Xingnuo turned around hurriedly and saw the injured mermaid being bitten by a shark. He was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed his arm.
"Bad shark! Let him go!"
The injured mermaid was still pushing Xingnuo, constantly reminding him to swim forward quickly.
"As long as you return to the tribe, you will be safe!"
A mermaid in the prime of adulthood can easily deal with a megalodon!
Unfortunately, he was injured and it was extremely difficult for him to even protect the little mermaid.
The mermaid's tail was as hard as steel. Although it was injured, the megalodon did not directly bite off the mermaid's tail.
The megalodon coveted the mermaid and didn't want to give up the delicious food, so it opened its mouth again and wanted to swallow the mermaid in one gulp.
There is extremely corrosive mucus in its stomach. Once swallowed, even the strongest mermaid's tail will be corroded bit by bit!
Unfortunately, the moment she opened her mouth, Xingnuo seized the opportunity and pulled the injured mermaid aside.
The two mermaids rolled into the coral reef again and were stabbed by some thorny corals.
Xingnuo fell face first to the ground, and when he raised his head again, his entire face was covered with mud.
He didn't care and continued to drag the injured mermaid forward before the megalodon swam over.
The injured mermaid was bitten by the megalodon, and her tail, which was originally bleeding, was completely broken.
He had no strength left, but he still held on, and used his singing to input some healing mental power into the little mermaid.
This is why the monsters are madly coveting the energy of the mermaids.
Their clan is so special!
Most low-level monsters on land can only rely on their strong physical strength, but the singing of mermaids actually contains high-level mental power!
Unless the monsters continue to upgrade their levels, they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat or some high-level energy items that have been snatched.
But mermaids are different. Even newborn mermaid cubs can bring out some weak spiritual energy in their singing.
This amount of energy makes the other monsters extremely jealous!
Just when Xingnuo was exhausted and was about to be swallowed by the Megalodon again, the Megalodon, which had taken several bites of coral behind it, suddenly began to fall on its back on the ground.
The megalodon wailed in pain, with a series of white bubbles coming out of its mouth.
Xingnuo didn't dare to stop, looked back, and couldn't help being surprised.
“Some corals are poisonous.” Upon seeing this, the injured mermaid couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Everything on the seabed, even a tiny coral, is trying to protect itself.
The few corals growing on the outermost part of the coral reef are the most toxic.
Once fish or monsters invade and discover the toxicity of corals, they will not act rashly. This is also the way corals save their lives.
Unfortunately, the megalodon was so anxious to swallow the mermaid that it forgot that the coral was poisonous.
Although Xingnuo didn't know what was going on, he found that the Megalodon had stopped, so he swam forward quickly.
After passing through this coral reef and going around several huge sea rocks, we arrived at the coral reef where the mermaids live.
When Xingnuo saw the familiar coral reef, his body softened and he fell directly into the coral pile.
***
The little mermaids who were eating breakfast poked the fruits on their plates and sighed.
"Xiao Jin is not here, he likes to eat this yellow fruit the most."
"I can save it for him and eat it when he comes back."
The fat red little mermaid supported her chin and stuffed the fish fillets into her mouth sadly.
"It's okay, I'm Xiao Jin's good friend, I can eat it for Xiao Jin!"
The other mermaids looked at the red mermaid with disdain. Just as they were about to say something, they heard Leah come back from outside and shout:
"Xiao Jin is back!"
The little mermaids screamed and swam over quickly, asking Leah where Xiao Jin was.
The little red mermaid looked at the food on her plate with reluctance. Finally, she simply put the fruit in her hand and hurriedly caught up with the other little mermaids.
A group of little mermaids and Leah swam to the mermaid palace and saw the lost red mermaid lying on the crystal bed.
"Yao! He's back!"
The little mermaids crowded behind Leah, looking up, and asked:
"Where's Xiao Jin? Where did Xiao Jin go?!"
