After waking up, Shao Ci was in a daze.
What did he dream about just now? It seems that someone is talking to me
If it was in the past, Shao Ci would definitely feel indifferent, but he has experienced so many worlds, how could he not know that these dreams will have a great impact on what happens later.
But after racking his brains for a long time, he couldn't remember the details of the previous dream. Shao Ci sighed. Anyway, this kind of dream will not only happen once, so he should observe carefully next time.
Shao Ci opened his eyes and saw the Siren lying beside him, falling asleep.
This was the first time he saw the siren sleeping. When the other party closed his eyes, he looked like the sleeping beauty in the legend. His long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, and his silver hair poured down. There is brilliance flowing.
Shao Ci subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold up a lock of hair, lowered his head and kissed the other person's forehead lightly.
The next moment, he felt Siren's body tense, and the silver-haired mermaid quickly opened his eyes, looking straight at Shao Ci.
No matter how many times he watched it, Shao Ci would feel a little terrified when he saw those golden eyes.
Those are vertical pupils like snakes, and they look like they are looking at their prey at any time, as if they can easily see through the opponent's weakness.
It was also because of being shocked that Shao Ci shifted his gaze slightly, only to notice that there was a blush on Siren's pale cheeks—
Shao Ci: "??" Wait, we have kissed so many times before, why are you blushing suddenly now? ! He thought that the mermaid didn't care about such things, so it didn't matter!
[That's because, for mermaids, kissing the forehead means proposing marriage.]
Shao Ci's face turned pale, "Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," shouldn't this kind of thing be said earlier! !
And if you have something like a complete collection of monsters in the system, hand it over quickly!
[This is something I just figured out from the other party's reaction. ] The system said [Without any specific documents around, collecting information should be done slowly according to the actual situation.]
Can't you collect data out of thin air? Shao Ci suddenly became disappointed. He thought the system was very powerful, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.
[…]
In short, now is not the time to deal with such things, Shao Ci looked at the siren nervously, although he didn't know if the other party could understand, anyway, let's explain first!
"A-Actually, what happened just now... I didn't do it on purpose..." Shao Ci said, "I-I don't know what that thing means—eh!?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the silver-haired mermaid, and he fell into the water.
It's over, he is hated because he did such a thing suddenly, he will definitely be drowned like this...
Shao Ci struggled weakly in the water, and suddenly realized that he didn't feel like drowning, and he was able to breathe in the water.
"This is... what's going on?" Shao Ci was stunned for a moment, but he recalled what the mermaid had fed him before. Could it be that it worked
[Indeed, it is the crystal attached to the water spirit, and after swallowing it, the host can breathe in the water for a period of time.]
"So that's it...is it such a powerful thing?" Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly opened his eyes to observe the situation in the water.
After passing through a tunnel in the water, the two entered the lake.
The optical fiber to this place is already extremely dim, but you can see the glittering fish swimming in the water, just like the stars in the night sky. The picture of swimming in groups makes people feel like they are dreaming.
"Wow..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Shao Ci couldn't help sighing.
Looking up, he could vaguely see the surface of the water, Shao Ci's heart moved, but the siren didn't give him the chance to come up to the surface to have a look, but pulled him to dive down.
There are a lot of monsters below, and it is hard to deal with them just by looking at them, but these monsters just avoid the sirens after seeing them, and dare not contact them.
After all, the siren is very strong... Shao Ci thought so, he could vaguely remember the first time he saw the other party, he was entangled in the black mist and couldn't move.
When diving to a certain place, the siren seemed to have something to deal with, so he put Shao Ci aside and let him hide among the aquatic plants.
Probably because he also knew that Shao Ci could not escape alone in this kind of place, so he left with peace of mind.
Shao Ci stayed in this place alone, looking at the glistening fish swimming around, felt that although this area has become a lair of monsters or something, it's not that scary, it still looks pretty good …
— No, he was wrong!
Looking at the dozen or so mermaids that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Shao Ci was almost frightened to death, and quickly took a few steps back.
These mermaids were surrounded by black mist, looking at Shao Ci with red eyes, like a hungry dog smelling meat, and they were about to pounce on them.
Obviously everyone is a mermaid, but the mermaids around them look quite wild, with many scales on their cheeks and extremely sharp fangs, and there is no trace of reason in their eyes.
Now if he uses his ability to give these mermaids there is still time! Look at this amount, the fuck has already been taken by the dog before he is cured!
In a panic, Shao Ci quickly used magic to create a shield around his body to avoid being bitten to death by these mermaids.
It's just that this body is still too weak, supporting such a shield already made Shao Ci out of breath, not to mention releasing any offensive magic, and every time the shield was attacked, Shao Ci felt his body became heavier I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long.
Ah Siren, come back quickly!
I don't know if he felt Shao Ci's call, but the silver-haired mermaid finally appeared, and Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
It is precisely because of this that a gap was accidentally exposed in the shield around him, and a mermaid at the side seized the opportunity and rushed over, biting his wrist fiercely, and immediately bit off a bone deep enough to be seen. The wound comes.
Shao Ci: "!" Damn it!
This mermaid is a dog!
The blood escaped from the water, and the mermaids around became crazy as if they were stimulated, and they were about to pounce on Shao Ci.
The next moment, a silver light flashed across.
Before Shao Ci could react, he was pushed aside.
He raised his head and stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of him.
Just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, as the silver-haired mermaid rushed over, a large amount of black mist dispersed, and blood gushed out where the silver light passed, and the area was already full of blood in a short time .
At this moment, Shao Ci finally understood how powerful the other party was.
If I hadn't thought of using the ability at that time, I would have been bitten long ago without even the scum left...
Most of the mermaids were smashed to pieces in the fight just now, and only a few of them were seriously injured and escaped.
The Siren returned to Shao Ci's side, hugged him and quickly went upstream.
Soon the two were on the surface.
Shao Ci was shocked, and turned his head to look around. There seemed to be a small island in the middle of the lake, which was not big, and the farther shore was just a shallow shadow. Thinking about it, he knew that there was nothing he could do. swim past.
Under the sunlight, the beauty of the silver-haired mermaid is more obvious. He looked at Shao Ci fixedly, then handed something to Shao Ci's hand, and said something, but unfortunately, Shao Ci couldn't hear anything. Understand.
Shao Ci looked at the gleaming scales in his hand in surprise, "This is..." Before he could react, the scales turned into light and melted into his hands, leaving only a cold feeling.
[This is the engagement item of the mermaid family. It is the most precious scale that the mermaid sheds during the growth period. It is said that it can improve human physique and magic talent, and has the effect of prolonging life. It was also because of this that mermaids were hunted and killed in large numbers.]
If it were someone else who heard such words, they would have been ecstatic, but Shao Ci remained silent.
He doesn't care about physique, magic talent, lifespan, hey!
The point is, giving him this scale means that the Siren agreed to his marriage proposal
—He didn't ask for marriage on purpose! ! What to do now! !
Shao Ci's face turned white and red.
The Siren held Shao Ci's face, lowered his head and kissed his forehead lightly.
Shao Ci felt that if he said something to refuse at this time, he would definitely be chopped into pieces by the Sirens...
Then the siren raised Shao Ci's hand again, and lightly licked the bloody wound on it.
Shao Ci: "Ugh—" He forgot he was in the water just now, but now he sees that the wound is really serious.
Feeling the familiar hot and numb feeling coming from the wound, Shao Ci quickly healed the wound with supernatural powers.
Seeing the wrist that was as smooth as ever, Siren seemed a little dissatisfied, and lowered his head to bite it lightly again.
At this moment, someone on the side suddenly uttered an exclamation, and the siren immediately raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the grass beside him. The black mist filled the air, and a person crawled out of the grass immediately.
It was a middle-aged man dressed plainly, holding a fishing net in his hand. He looked over tremblingly at this time, his eyes were full of horror, and he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
Shao Ci: "..." It seems that he is a fisherman fishing here.
Although the siren was very kind to Shao Ci, his attitude towards other humans was not so good. The fisherman was about to be engulfed in mist when he raised his hand.
How could Shao Ci watch this kind of thing happen, and quickly grabbed Siren's hand, "...he didn't come here on purpose, let him go..."
Although he didn't know if the siren could understand or not, he had tried his best anyway! !
Hearing Shao Ci's words, the fisherman took a serious look at Shao Ci, and then his eyes showed surprise, "Human, human?"
He has lived for decades, and this is the first time he has seen such a good human being who can get along with mermaids. After all, although those mermaids look very close to humans, they are monsters after all, and they can't communicate well if they want to. Forget about building a good relationship.
The siren originally wanted to make a move, but seeing Shao Ci's pleading appearance, he put down his hand, and the black mist dissipated.
But he didn't seem very happy, he took a few serious glances at Shao Ci, and pulled him into the water again.
In the lobby of the hotel in the small town by the lake, a group of knights who came here more than ten days ago are living here.
"Lord Wendell, I think the brave man is probably hopeless." A knight said, "Let's just-"
Before he finished speaking, the most handsome blond young man looked over coldly, making the knight speechless.
"He's not dead." Wendell said in a cold tone, "I can feel his breath still exists." It's just a little far away from here.
That child has been with him for so long, and he has always been doted on by him. Now that he encounters this situation, he must be very flustered.
Just thinking of Shao Ci's worried and frightened appearance, Wendell couldn't calm down.
The other knights also started discussing, "Then what should we do?" "Even if the brave man is fine, he was probably put in the mermaid's lair, and we have no way to rescue him."
In fact, most people think in their hearts that they should simply give up and go back and choose a new hero.
After all, in their hearts, a handsome and powerful nobleman like Wendell is more suitable for the title of brave, not that guy who suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Besides, Wendell used to be the most powerful contender for the position of brave man. Everyone thought that he would definitely hate Shao Ci, but unexpectedly at this time, he was the only one who insisted on finding Shao Ci.
"Who said there is no way?" Wendell said.
"Lord Wendell?" Everyone else turned their heads in amazement, "Do you have any ideas?"
Wendell turned his head to look at the sparkling lake outside, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, "It can be done with a little bit of method, don't we still have the holy water brought by the temple?"
Just doing this will cause a lot of damage, but Wendell never cared about the life and death of these people.
"You mean..."
"As long as you attract those monsters and drive them away with holy water, you can find a chance to rescue the brave man." Wendell said calmly.
"But the holy water is so precious, it should be used to deal with the devil!" Even if you don't deal with the devil, you can make a fortune by reselling such precious holy water.
"The devil?" Wendell sneered, "If he dies, do you really think you can see the devil again?"
Everyone else felt a chill in their hearts. Since Shao Ci disappeared, Wendell's personality has become more and more ruthless. He is not as good-tempered and easy to fool as he imagined, which makes them fearful from time to time.
Just when someone wanted to ask something, someone suddenly broke into the door, "Master Knights, yes, there is news about the brave man."
Before the others could say anything in a hurry, Wendell stood up suddenly and hurriedly walked outside, and the others quickly followed.
...
…
Looking at the majestic and majestic knights in front of him, the fisherman, who was still wearing wet clothes, couldn't help but shiver.
"Quickly tell what happened!" "If you dare to hide anything, we will never let your life go!" These knights were not low in status, and their attitude towards the common people was naturally arrogant.
The fisherman was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the person next to him.
That is the most handsome blond knight among this group of people, his bright blond hair is extremely dazzling in the sun, he is looking at him with a smile, and his tone is full of amiability, "Don't be nervous, as long as what happened Just say what you want, we are not unreasonable people."
Hearing what the other party said, the fisherman breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly told what happened to him.
After the other party finished speaking, Wendell gave him ten silver coins with a smile, and the other party hurriedly left in gratitude to Dade.
"What should we do now?" After listening to the fisherman's words, everyone didn't want to go, "That's the siren, the strongest monster in this water area, and the water is controlled by mermaids, we must have only died in the past. "
"And the relationship between the brave man and the monsters is so good, isn't it a bit strange, could it be said that the brave man..."
"What's strange." Wendell looked over with a sharp gaze, and said coldly: "The brave man is chosen by God, and it is normal for monsters not to dare to hurt him. Doesn't this just confirm his identity?"
Everyone else was speechless, indeed Wendell's words were quite reasonable.
"I believe that you are all knights who are extremely loyal to God, and you will not abandon the brave." Wendell swept the crowd one by one, and said slowly: "After all, he is the one chosen by God, or who Don’t believe in God’s words and want to challenge the authority of the temple?”
Wendell said so, and who dared to refute him, everyone nodded quickly.
"That's good." Wendell smiled slightly, looking at the position of the lake, "Let's leave now."
He couldn't wait any longer. After not seeing him for so long, Shao Ci must be very scared. That child obviously couldn't do without him.
Of course...he couldn't do without that child.
After the previous incident, the siren seemed to be in a bad mood, bit Shao Ci several more times, leaving many red marks on the skin, and finally lowered her head and kissed Shao Ci.
"Uh... ha... woo..."
The tip of the other party's tongue swept every corner of Shao Ci's mouth, as if it was going to swallow Shao Ci like a violent storm.
After the siren let go, Shao Ci had to take several breaths to calm down.
In fact, he is also understandable, after all, he is a human being, and the siren is worried that he will leave, so he is suddenly so anxious.
So Shao Ci lowered his head and kissed the Siren reassuringly, and the other party immediately felt better, hugged Shao Ci and rubbed him, and then lingered on.
Shao Ci also had no choice but to rest like this, but the siren seemed to feel something, and his body tensed instantly.
"Hey, what happened?" Before Shao Ci could react, he was hugged by the other party and jumped into the water.
Shao Ci: "..." Well, if you do this kind of thing a few times, you can probably get used to it.
The siren seemed to have encountered something urgent, and quickly swam forward with Shao Ci in his arms.
And not only the sirens, but also other monsters in the water became agitated.
Shao Ci closed his eyes, wondering what happened in his heart
Shao Ci felt that the water around him seemed to have some kind of strange breath, and when it touched his body, it was extremely comfortable, and even his strength seemed to increase a bit, reminding him of the water that enveloped him when he was chosen as a brave man. shine.
— This is holy water!
Shao Ci understood in an instant. It seemed that those people had sprinkled holy water in the water to save themselves... For these monsters, holy water must be the most terrifying existence, so they went to places without holy water.
And in that place, there must be someone waiting...
When the two arrived at a certain place, something shining suddenly pierced from the water, and the siren had no choice but to let go of Shao Ci's hand.
At this moment, a force suddenly grabbed Shao Ci's hand and dragged him to the surface of the water.
Shao Ci was immediately carried into a warm embrace.
It was already dusk at this time, some icy wind blew across the cheeks, the clouds in the sky were dyed light red by the sun, and the handsome blond young man was staring at himself with the same gentle eyes against the light, "Welcome return."
Shao Ci felt relieved for a moment, and subconsciously hugged each other, "Wen, Wendell..."
It's just a small boat, and the knight standing behind suddenly became anxious, "Now the brave man has also been rescued, let's go quickly, lest that guy..."
Suddenly there was an exclamation from behind, "That's—"
Shao Ci turned his head and saw the silver-haired mermaid with half of his body sticking out of the water. He stretched out his hand to him, and black mist gushed out from the surroundings, enveloping the space in an instant.
Siren is full of undisguised killing intent, completely different from when he was with Shao Ci, now he is completely a monster.
Wendell held Shao Ci's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that he would leave him again, his eyes that were originally full of smiles were also tinged with coldness, and he took out the sword.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Shao Ci: "..." It's too bad, maybe now, I accidentally encountered something... The legendary Shura field...
