Despised by the general IQ of the demon hunting system with a wide range of interests, Lin Jiu began his own journey of enlightenment.
He screamed on the reef, screamed in the sea, and screamed wherever he swam, and was about to turn into a screaming chicken. This was the good thing about being in the Devil's Sea. No matter how Lin Jiu screamed or how much noise he made, no one would complain about him disturbing others, so he could practice his voice to his heart's content.
Lin Jiu held a harpoon in his hand, wandering at the bottom of the sea. His long black hair fluttered in the sea water. He didn't know when he changed from screaming to humming. He hummed as he swam. It was a completely subconscious behavior. By the time he realized it, he had already started humming.
Lin Jiu sighed, gave up on treatment, and began to doubt whether it was really because of his mixed blood that he was able to realize the Siren's talent.
Lin Jiu seemed to be strolling around leisurely, but he was actually very anxious. Time was passing by day by day, and he found that he could not complete the task because of the invisible fish. He could not go back early after handing in the task. Lin Jiu was very anxious.
Just as he was contemplating it, the big inky black tail was suddenly entangled by something. Lin Jiu shuddered all over. The mermaid's fish tail was like a man's thigh. Entangling his fish tail was like being a hooligan!
"Snap!" Lin Jiu reacted reflexively and swung the harpoon over.
What entangled Lin Jiu was a tentacle, very thick, very blue, and covered with suction cups. When Lin Jiu saw the tentacle dancing in the water, his first reaction was squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and his second reaction was blue devil! It's better to escape first!
Lin Jiu looked back and tried to avenge the groping, so he turned around and ran. Suddenly, several thick tentacles flew out from the dark deep sea and wrapped around the fleeing little mermaid. Lin Jiu thought he was fast enough, but he was still slower than the tentacles. The sticky tentacles wrapped around Lin Jiu's waist and dragged him to the dark seabed.
With a "whoosh", Lin Jiu felt mud and sand flying in front of his eyes, which greatly affected his vision. He only saw a smooth blue "big head". Lin Jiu was dragged by the tentacles and hit the "big head". When he was about to hit it, the tentacles suddenly pulled downwards. The intention was very obvious, because the little blue devil's mouthparts were at the bottom.
Lin Jiu tightly gripped the harpoon and stabbed it hard into the blue "big head" that was passing by. The tentacles of the little blue devil rolled wildly, and Lin Jiu was thrown so hard that the harpoon almost slipped out of his hand. Lin Jiu turned the harpoon and stabbed it towards the tentacles wrapped around his waist. The tentacles loosened, and Lin Jiu swung his tail hard to rush out, but was once again entangled by the tentacles that were nowhere to be found.
Lin Jiu was alone, and the little blue demon was covered with tentacles. Lin Jiu's fists were no match for the little blue demon, and he was entangled and dragged down again.
The little blue demon's tentacles squirmed, wrapping Lin Jiu's body and stuffing it into its mouthparts. Lin Jiu's harpoon pierced the tender flesh beside the mouthparts. The little blue demon's tentacles tumbled, throwing Lin Jiu out fiercely.
Lin Jiu was tossed in the turbid sea water, not knowing where he would be thrown. He saw the angry little blue demon swinging its tentacles, wrapping around him again, and throwing him in another direction.
“Bang!”
With a silent impact, Lin Jiu's entire back hit the reef on the seabed. The pain made him lose strength instantly, and the harpoon in his hand also fell.
The little blue golem finally got the chance, and all its tentacles surrounded Lin Jiu, entangled him and threw him around. All he could see was muddy sand. Lin Jiu felt that he might die here, either being eaten or choked to death, but he really wanted to die. He had persisted in the Demon Sea for so long, why should he die here? !
When Lin Jiu was entangled by the tentacles and was hit against the hard reef again, the survival instinct aroused Lin Jiu's ferocity. His sharp finger bones tore at the tentacles fiercely. At the same time, he arched his body to protect his head, and his back hit the reef again.
Lin Jiu roared madly, and the little blue demon was also waving its tentacles desperately. Lin Jiu hugged the tentacles and bit down with his sharp fangs. At this moment, he no longer had the elegance and gentleness of a human being, but only the survival instinct of a sea beast. He tore and bit with his claws and mouth, and a thick tentacle had been torn to pieces. Lin Jiu was pulled away by the tentacle and rolled continuously on the seabed.
Lin Jiu grabbed the reef and steadied himself. The little blue demon had already pounced on him, and its mountain-like body pressed towards Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu didn't think twice and suddenly let out a sharp whistle. The sound was like a hurricane, carrying the water and rushing towards the distance. The little blue demon who was closest to Lin Jiu was the first to be hit, and was sent flying by the sound wave, knocking down countless reefs along the way, and disappearing into the dark seabed.
Lin Jiu didn't give up and chased after it quickly, determined to see the end of the little blue demon. He didn't know how far he chased it, but the little blue demon that had fought with him for life and death was blocked by a giant reef. It was limp and motionless, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive.
Lin Jiu approached carefully, and when he got close he saw that the little blue demon's big head had exploded, and it must have been dead.
The danger index of the little blue demon is 1 star. Needless to say, its nutrition and magic energy are very high. There is no way that Lin Jiu would let go of such a good ingredient.
He dragged one of the little blue demon's tentacle and swam back desperately. He wanted to go back to find the harpoon. The harpoon rewarded by the system was very useful. It must be lost and he had to find it back.
Lin Jiu searched for a long time at the battle scene before he found the harpoon near a reef. The harpoon was stuck in the crevice of the reef. Lin Jiu tried to pull it out. He was in great pain all over and had no strength left, so he simply gave up and let the system take back the inventory directly. He sat down on the edge of the reef and needed to rest.
He was always vigilant in the Demon Sea and seldom encountered such desperate situations. He was just a little distracted and almost lost his life.
Lin Jiu knew that his scream was the talent the system mentioned. In that emergency moment, he used it instinctively.
Lin Jiu is very familiar with the Sirens. According to the system, the Sirens used to be very ferocious. Even without weapons, they could conquer the Demon Sea with just their claws and teeth. Coupled with the Sirens' innate abilities, their strength is ranked among the best in the Demon Sea.
The current Lin Jiu Siren is bringing shame to her ancestors and was almost eaten by a small blue devil. The Siren's ancestors' coffin lid is about to fall. Fortunately, no matter how soft Lin Jiu is, she is still a Siren, and her ferocity is engraved in her genes.
Looking at the exploded head, it seems that the effect is good at the moment.
A school of fish began to gather around the little blue demon, all wanting to get a piece of the pie. Lin Jiu looked at the school of fish and spotted a fish with a flat and round body and bright colors. It was very conspicuous, but was it the real form of the invisible fish that the system had shown him? !
Lin Jiu felt pain all over his body. He swam over quietly, took out the fishing net bag, and prepared to catch the invisible fish alive.
The reason why the invisible fish's danger index is two stars is not because the focus is on attack power, but on invisibility and sneak attacks. Once it becomes invisible, it will be difficult to catch it. Lin Jiu must catch it before it becomes invisible.
The invisible fish was still tearing at the little blue devil's broken head. Under the big net cover, the invisible fish swung its tail hard, and the bright color quickly faded, and soon became the same color as the sea water. It could not be detected by the naked eye. If the net bag was bulging, Lin Jiu would have thought it was empty.
It was the first time that Lin Jiu saw such a magical fish. He tied a knot in the net bag to ensure that the invisible fish would not run away, and prepared to catch a few more in the same way. Lin Jiu quietly hid beside the tentacles of the little blue devil, waiting for the invisible fish to fall into the trap.
Don't let Lin Jiu wait too long, after a while a few bright invisible fish appeared. Lin Jiu suppressed his ecstasy, quietly went behind the invisible fish, and put them into sacks one by one... bah, fishing nets.
Lin Jiu used this method to catch six fish in a row. Just when he was about to catch a few more, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back, as if he was hit hard by something. Lin Jiu looked back, but saw nothing. Just as he turned his head back, he was hit again. The hand that was holding the net bag hurt so much that a row of small holes appeared on the palm of his hand, and blood gushed out of the small holes.
Lin Jiu did not let go, and his other hand had already grabbed it. It seemed like there was nothing in his hand, but the thing in his hand was very real, it was an invisible fish!
The invisible fish in invisible state struggled desperately, and Lin Jiu's sharp claws grabbed the invisible fish and let it go. Invisible fish continued to attack Lin Jiu around. Lin Jiu could only feel the water fluctuations when the invisible fish moved. Lin Jiu hurriedly stuffed the caught invisible fish into the fishing net bag, pulled one of the little blue devil's tentacles and swam quickly. If he continued, he would be torn apart by the invisible fish.
Lin Jiu climbed up a reef with great effort, and tried his best to drag up the small blue devils that were as big as a mountain. The whole reef was filled with small blue devils, and Lin Jiu could only climb up the reef and soak in the sea.
Mission completed, gain 30 magic points.
Congratulations to the host for exceeding the task, triggering the treasure chest reward, and obtaining a wooden treasure chest.
Lin Jiu didn't dare to delay, he was covered with wounds, if he stopped he might not even be able to move.
He opened the super smart kitchen and pulled the little blue devil in. The fish tail was very convenient for movement. Lin Jiu wanted to turn it into human legs. He looked back and saw that the roots of the scales on his waist were oozing blood. There was a place where the scales flew away, revealing a bloody wound. The injury was extremely serious.
Lin Jiu gritted his teeth and transformed into a human form. His waist and legs were covered in blood, and his injuries looked more serious than when he was a mermaid. Lin Jiu was shaking with pain, and he didn't even have the strength to deal with the little blue demon.
The invisible fish was still struggling in the fishing net bag. He wanted to put the invisible fish into the fish pond, but he was afraid that it would kill the silver fish in the pond, which would cause him great losses.
Lin Jiu lay on the cold metal floor, "I want to... draw a blind box..."
Lin Jiu originally wanted to save up the chances to draw blind boxes, but now there was no better way. He had to draw something that could bring the invisible fish and the little blue devil back. He couldn't give up the prey he had caught with all his might.
The familiar nine-square grid appeared again, with a locked treasure chest in each grid. Lin Jiu closed his eyes and clicked on one at random.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-quality magic crystal.
Lin Jiu: …
No matter what the Demon Crystal is, high quality or not, it is useless to Lin Jiu now. What he needs is something that can bring the invisible fish and the little blue demon back!
Lin Jiu felt very tired.
Magic Crystal is a solid form of Magic Essence. When there is no magic essence to replenish, Magic Crystal is a lifesaver.
Lin Jiu said weakly: What I need now is not a life-saving item, but a way to bring the invisible fish and the little blue demon back.
Why did the host choose to expand the fish pond
Lin Jiu: Even if it is expanded, is it still a large space? Invisible fish and silver mullets may coexist peacefully.
The system was silent.
I wonder if the host has ever heard of space separation
Lin Jiu: Yes, I’ve heard of it.
Now start listening, just separate them, so that they won't fight with each other.
Lin Jiu: Can it be divided
Can be divided.
Lin Jiu took a deep breath: Since we can break up, why didn't you say it earlier
I thought you knew, you said, I also know what you need.
Lin Jiu: …
I wasted the chance to draw a blind box, and in the end I still have to rely on magic points to settle the fish pond!
Lin Jiu spent 30 magic points to expand the fish pond to 3 cubic meters. He separated out two spaces at the corners to hold the silver fish and the invisible fish, which could only ensure that they were dead but not able to swim freely. The rest of the space was reserved for the little blue demon.
The little blue demon was too big, and Lin Jiu had a hard time stuffing all its tentacles into the fish pond. He took it back first, and would deal with the little blue demon after his injuries had healed.

Lin Jiu came out of the super smart kitchen, all he saw was the vast sea. Seeing the shadow of Xipuluo Island, Lin Jiu decided to go back first. He would appear on Xipuluo Island next time he came in, which would be more convenient than going back now. Moreover, in his current situation, he might not be able to find his way back if he went into the sea again, and any sea monster could eat him.
The wound became even more shocking after being pulled through the boundary gate.
It was late at night on Earth. Lin Jiu fell on the wooden floor with a loud thud, leaving a human-shaped blood mark. Lin Jiu struggled to get up, but his bloody feet slipped and he fell down every time he tried to get up. He could only grope his way to the bathroom, leaving a long blood mark.
The bathtub was filled with warm water, and Lin Jiu climbed in. The blood dyed the bathtub red. The warm water stimulated the wound and it hurt so much that Lin Jiu was stunned. After a simple rinse, he wrapped himself in a bathrobe and moved into the bedroom. He saw the bloodstains on the floor and didn't want to dirty the bed, so he could only sit on the carpet.
Lin Jiu predicted that his bones were broken, but he couldn't move at all. He turned on his phone tremblingly, opened an app, searched for a drugstore that delivered at night, bought more than a dozen boxes of bandages, more than a dozen bottles of disinfectant, and selected a lot of various hemostatic drugs. He didn't know whether human hemostatic drugs would be useful to him, so he could only try it first.
Lin Jiu clicked to place an order, but the phone didn't respond, as if it was stuck. Lin Jiu was a little anxious and kept clicking. Suddenly, the phone rang. A call came in. Lin Jiu's hands were shaking and the phone fell to the ground. The opened page flashed slowly several times. The order was placed and the call was connected.
Si Xu didn't expect the call to go through. He just dialed it out of habit. If the phone was turned on, it meant that Lin Jiu was not back. He didn't expect that the call would go through.
"Lin Jiu?" Si Xu called him.
There was no response from the other end of the phone, only the sound of heavy breathing.
Si Xu immediately realized that something was wrong, "Lin Jiu, can you hear me?"
Lin Jiu picked up the phone tremblingly and heard Si Xu's voice, "Can..."
He opened his mouth, but found that his voice was not right and was trembling too violently, so he quickly kept silent.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Si Xu had already heard it. "Where are you? Are you injured?"
“No…No…” Lin Jiu tried hard to make his voice steadier, but it was too painful. Not to mention the sound, his whole body was shaking, and his voice naturally trembled as well.
"Where are you? I'll be there now." Si Xu's voice was urgent.
"You can use..."
"Where?" Si Xu's voice was deep and he could not refuse.
Lin Jiu was silent. He looked at the room which looked like a murder scene. If Si Xu saw it, it would be impossible to explain it clearly.
When Lin Jiu stopped talking, Si Xu also stopped talking. He had already taken the elevator to the underground garage and drove to the residential area where Lin Jiu lived.
During the days that Lin Jiu was away, Si Xu had been working overtime and often slept in the office, only occasionally returning to his apartment. Today he was working overtime again, and he wanted to relax, drink a cup of coffee, and make a phone call, and he got through as soon as he thought of it.
"Room 1201, Building 6."
After a stalemate, Lin Jiu finally gave in and told the specific address.
Lin Jiu was a little overwhelmed by Si Shen's sudden toughness.
"I'll be there soon."
