Chapter 145 "I will accompany you back to the deep sea regularly in the future"
Do you miss home? Of course I do.
Huai Jun has been wandering outside for more than ten years. Although he is a hostage, he does not even have a loyal servant around him.
When he missed his hometown, he couldn't even find someone to talk to.
Huaijun almost forgot what the deep sea looked like in his memory.
He had no one to rely on in his mother's family, and there was no place for him to stay in the deep sea palace, but Huai Jun never gave up the idea of returning to the deep sea.
When he just came out of Zuixianlou and broke off his engagement with Sheng Ran, his plan for the future was to just find a piece of water.
As long as he is kind and clean, it would be fine for him to live alone.
But since when, Huai Jun gradually realized that he could not live without Sheng Ran.
There was no wife in the deep sea, and he suddenly didn't want to go back.
He just wanted to stay with Sheng Ran peacefully, even if there was no official status.
But Huaijun never thought that one day his wife would be willing to accompany him for a walk in the deep sea.
Seeing the nostalgia in his eyes, Sheng Ran's heart moved, and she whispered, "If everything goes well in the central city this time, we can find a place near the sea to live permanently. I will accompany you back to the deep sea regularly."
"Really?" Huai Jun's eyes flashed with a tiny light, and he tightened Sheng Ran's hand, "Thank you, my wife."
Huai Jun felt warm and soft in his heart, and he felt unprecedented peace of mind. He held Sheng Ran's hand and took her to a place that he was very familiar with.
He introduced to Sheng Ran the colorful shells, algae of various shapes, and the fish that kept passing by them.
Sheng Ran listened attentively, her eyes curved with a smile, as if she was very interested in everything he had come into contact with in his childhood.
The wife was using her own way to understand him more deeply, and Huaijun's heart melted.
After a while, he looked at the water film on Sheng Ran's body——
The light blue water film is now thinner than before and its luster is weaker. It is obvious that it cannot last for too long.
He also remembered that his wife's true form was most likely a flower. Although flowers need water, they are afraid of being soaked in water for too long. If they are "waterlogged", it will be bad.
I can't let my wife stay with her any longer.
"Wife, we have to go ashore first." He gently touched Sheng Ran's hair, his tone apologetic, "The water film is almost broken, and you have just recovered. It will be uncomfortable if you stay in the water for too long."
"When I have time later, I'll take you for a good tour, okay?"
Sheng Ran saw the worry in his eyes. Since they had already made an agreement, she didn't insist.
She nodded and leaned into his arms: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go ashore first and come back later."
Huaijun held her in his arms and turned to swim towards the surface. Sheng Ran leaned in his arms, watching the silver fish and water plants passing by, feeling at ease.
As soon as I emerged from the water, fresh air hit me in the face.
They had to walk along the shore and quickly meet up with the rest of the group.
However, when Huaijun stepped onto the grass with Sheng Ran in his arms, he noticed something was wrong.
What should have been a lush and dense forest was now shrouded in a thick layer of gray-black fog.
The fog was not ordinary white, but was like ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved, and it also had a pungent smell of rotten leaves. Every time I took a breath, my throat would feel tight.
The surrounding trees also looked strange. The trunks were twisted like the claws of an evil spirit. There were no leaves on the branches. Only bare branches stretched out in the mist, as if to grab passers-by.
What’s even more terrifying is that it’s eerily quiet here.
There were no birds singing, no insects chirping, not even the sound of wind blowing.
There was only the rustling sound of the flowing fog, which sounded like someone whispering in one's ear, making one's scalp tingle.
"Where is this?" Sheng Ran frowned, asked Huai Jun to put her down, and looked around intently.
She could feel the oppressive atmosphere around her, as if something dangerous was watching them in the dark.
Huai Jun also became alert and protected Sheng Ran behind him, with a faint light of water appearing on his palms.
He was mobilizing his water-based abilities to prepare for possible dangers.
But as soon as he gathered a little water element, he frowned.
On land, the water element is much thinner than underwater, the condensation speed is half as slow, and the power is also much weaker.
What's more, he had just used up his supernatural powers to create a water film for Sheng Ran, so it would be even more difficult to use it again now.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Even so, Huai Jun still comforted Sheng Ran softly, his eyes fixed on the depths of the fog.
He could hear heavy footsteps coming closer and closer in the fog, accompanied by heavy breathing.
Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the fog!
It was a mutated miasma beast, three times larger than an ordinary miasma beast.
Its entire body is covered with shiny black scales, and the edges of the scales glow with a cold green light.
Long fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth, dripping with sticky green venom. The venom fell on the grass, instantly corroding small pits and emitting white smoke.
The claws were like sharp daggers, making a harsh sound when they swung through the air.
"Be careful!" Huai Jun immediately mobilized his special abilities and condensed a wall of water to block in front of him.
But on land, this water wall was much thinner than underwater, and the miasma beast's claws slammed hard on the water wall.
With a "crack", the water wall shattered instantly, and green venom splashed on Huai Jun's arm.
"Hiss--" The moment the venom touched the skin, a piercing pain came, and several bloody holes immediately appeared on Huaijun's arm.
Black lines spread around the wound, and the venom was corroding his blood.
He didn't care about the pain, and pushed Sheng Ran further behind him, standing in front of her and staring at the miasma beast.
"Huaijun! Your hand!" Sheng Ran exclaimed and wanted to rush over to help him, but Huaijun held her shoulders tightly.
"Don't come over!" Huai Jun's voice was filled with suppressed pain, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. "This beast is poisonous, my wife, don't get close!"
Then, he tore off the sharpest scales on his body and shot them accurately at the miasma beast, delivering a fatal blow.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, three more miasma beasts jumped out from the fog and surrounded them.
Their eyes flashed with a fierce green light, and they let out threatening growls as they approached step by step, obviously treating them as prey.
"It seems we have entered the misty forest by mistake." Huai Jun said gritting his teeth.
Using scales as weapons would damage his body bit by bit, which was not a long-term solution. Huai Jun gathered all his strength and activated his water-based ability again.
This time he did not form a water wall, but condensed the thin water elements into tiny water needles and shot them towards the miasma beast's eyes.
But the power of the water needle was too weak. It only brushed the scales of the miasma beasts without even breaking their skin. Instead, it completely enraged them.
A miasma beast suddenly pounced on Sheng Ran, its claws pointing directly at her chest!
Huai Jun turned around without thinking and stood in front of Sheng Ran.
The miasma beast's claws dug into his back fiercely, and its black scales cut through his clothes, leaving a string of blood beads.
The wound was burning with pain, and the venom seeped into the body through the wound. Huai Jun's eyes went dark for a moment, but he still grabbed the claws of the miasma beast tightly and threw it out with force.
He said to Sheng Ran in a hoarse voice: "Run! Run to where there is less fog!"
