[Wait a minute, is this fish real? What if it's fake? ]
[Yes]
[Inspect the goods first]
[Let me touch it]
[I'll touch it too]
[Sweet]
[Very sweet]
Yes, real fish.
Tentacles swarmed out, and in the name of distinguishing the real from the fake, they wrapped around the killer whale's smooth skin and crawled around.
Fighting is not suitable for these delicate creatures. Fighting with powerful spiritual beings is very tiring. Fortunately, the mobile sugar man came by himself.
The big fish can restore health, heal wounds, and is sweet. The tentacles sigh with comfort and squeeze out others to grab a good position.
A big fish in a fight is completely different from usual times.
Brutal and cruel, a thug in a suit, with sharp teeth and muscles as hard as iron.
The huge tail fin swung fiercely and hit the golden tree. Countless golden branches broke and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
It's like a completely different fish from the tentacles' impression of the cute, soft fish that can only whimper.
[Wow, it's sweeter than usual at this time]
[From now on, I will only suck fish during battles]
[Make way, I have no room left]
[There are too many people, two of them have to squeeze down]
The huge scarlet egg occupied almost the entire bottom of the cave. When Ni Ji stepped on it, it was like stepping on a large piece of land with crisscrossing blood vessels and undulating land.
He stepped on the squirming soft flesh, grabbed the handle of the knife and turned it around violently, then pulled out the long knife.
A large amount of blood gushed out from the gaping wound, staining Ni Ji's entire body.
A strange crying sound rang out throughout the cave, sometimes like a man, sometimes like a woman.
It's like a monster that wants to imitate humans but can't do it well, lurking in the darkness and crying like a human.
As the cries rang out, mask-like faces rose from the blood-red earth.
Their bodies are long and thin, made up of countless sticky blood vessels, connected by blood to the red land beneath their feet.
One by one, the scarlet monsters with sad human faces stood up from the huge eggs and rushed towards Ni Ji.
"It hurts. It hurts so much. It hurts so much."
“It’s so painful. It’s so painful.”
"Let me go, please, let me go"
"Let me die, let me die"
The sound of weeping and ghostly cries mingled in the scarlet cave. The graveyards, ghost mounds, and the netherworld were nothing more than this.
Those thin and soft bodies were cut off by Ni Ji's sharp blade, and a large amount of blood was sprayed out. The red dirty blood poured down all over Ni Ji's body and face.
"What disgusting blood! This is not good. Let's leave quickly." Ni Ji's knife handle said this in the chaos.
It was too late. Those strange monsters quickly submerged the warrior. Ni Ji, whose body was covered in blood, seemed to be dazed. He was covered by those blood-red monsters and fell into that scarlet and sticky hell.
The whale under Lin Yuan shook, and its huge body shrank a circle. It shook again, and shrank again.
Its shape began to become blurred, and it descended from the air staggeringly. Just after putting Lin Yuan on the ground, its black back and white belly flashed twice, and then disappeared with a very reluctant look.
[Ah, where are the fish?]
I am such a big fish.
The tentacles spread out in confusion.
"Hmph, a sentinel."
Lin Yuan heard the voice of the Scarlet Egg.
"Do you think you can fight me with just a sentinel?"
The land covered with red blood vessels made a humming sound. In the middle - where Ni Ji disappeared, a large hill-like area rose up.
Those blood vessels covered it layer by layer, wriggling slowly, as if they wanted to completely dissolve and digest the sentinel wrapped in them.
"In front of me, guides may be able to hold on a little, but sentinels are the most useless. Although there are sentinels with strong mental strength, they are impulsive and cannot withstand torture. At most, they can serve as food. Hehehe."
The monster's voice initially sounded like a painful cry, but later on it started laughing, like a moody toddler.
“You can take them to the top of a euphoria and then immediately send them to the bottom of a euphoria, back and forth a few times—and boom, they collapse.”
It imitated a very lifelike onomatopoeia in its speech, like a human clapping his hands.
"No matter how powerful a warrior is, it's useless. He can't withstand a few rounds. Hehehe."
"He won't." Lin Yuan suddenly interrupted it.
"He will!" The voice was like that of an angry child.
"He won't," Lin Yuan said again. "He's a very strong man. He'll get rid of you in a moment. He'll cut open your disgusting flesh and come back to me."
At some point, a faint bright moon appeared above the cave.
Tentacles surged behind Lin Yuan, and her mental image invaded here, faintly overlapping with this bloody cave.
The light of the bright moon shone down, and the sad wailing sounds coming from all directions in the cave became much quieter.
Those distorted human faces became quiet, floating in the blood bubbles, staring blankly at the blurry moon above the cave.
This place is no longer the Scarlet Egg's home turf alone, and Lin Yuan's mental power penetrated in with difficulty.
"You actually trust a sentinel? He's just a beast of burden." The monster argued impatiently, his voice was sharp and distorted.
"You may not know that sentinels and guides are completely different creatures. It's okay, hehe, I'll let you see it. I can show you right away."
"Let me show you how that sentry behaved like an animal."
"It actually hurt me with a knife. It must be punished accordingly."
"I want him to perform in front of you, to make him cry and beg, to make him twist in the dirtiest places. I want him to show his ugly and embarrassing appearance. Because of you, he won't even have the chance to beg for mercy."
"Hehe, you still want to help him? You are still so young, how long can you last if you exhaust yourself like this?"
"It's okay. Eventually I will let you come together and merge into my body together."
Lin Yuan didn't say anything. The hazy moon above the cave became brighter and clearer.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, shining brightly. The moonlight broke through the darkness and shone on the bulging pile of flesh and blood, almost penetrating the dirty and bloody red pipe walls and shining deep into the ground.
It guides the direction and soothes the souls trapped in illusions.
Sweat slid down Lin Yuan's cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
But her eyes were determined, she was waiting, firmly believing that her comrades would be able to escape from the predicament and return to the battlefield.
The hill covered with blood vessels began to swell, and the tumors bulged high left and right.
breakthrough!
A huge hole appeared in the undulating mountain of flesh, and a crescent-shaped blade light flew out from it.
Blood, flesh and membranes were splattered everywhere. A bloody man, holding a long knife, stretched out his hand to pry open the crack and stepped out a foot.
Loud cries were heard from all directions of the cave.
A tentacle emerged from the ground, trying to pat the sentry whose body and face were covered in blood.
Ni Ji subconsciously turned his face away, avoiding its touch.
He supported himself on the ground with the tip of the knife, bent over and turned his head to spit out some gastric juice, and finally stood up slowly.
The knife handle was covered in blood and was too slippery to hold. The sentry took off his shirt, wrapped it around the hand holding the knife, and tied the knife handle and palm together.
The blade cut deep bloody marks on the body.
A strange knife light appeared.
Ni Ji's eyes were bloodshot, murderous, and filled with deep hatred. He raised his long sword and chopped at the squirming ground beneath him.
A murderer with a mad knife and a mad criminal.
The red knife was stained with blood, and the blood blade was rolling. The furious warrior was fighting with the blood-red giant egg under him.
During the entire process, he did not even look at Lin Yuan.
It’s not that I don’t want to watch it, it’s that I dare not watch it.
Lin Yuan caught Ni Ji's strong outward emotions at the moment, shock, anger, shame, gritting of teeth, and the exploding hatred that permeated his whole body.
Lin Yuan had seen the hatred in Ni Ji's heart. That deep hatred was buried deep in the sea, suppressed and deep, slowly planning for revenge.
She had never seen Ni Ji so furious. He didn't care about anything and rushed towards the enemy like a madman.
They were facing a powerful enemy with a lifespan of hundreds of years, and his mental control ability was several times stronger than Lin Yuan's.
When Lin Yuan himself falls into the environment it creates, he will even be confused.
She didn't know what kind of mental illusion Ni Ji encountered when he was captured by the scarlet egg.
What kind of thing could make a calm and self-controlled sentry like Ni Ji so angry
It must be related to me. That monster once used Ni Ji to seduce me. Of course, it is also possible that he used his appearance to torture Ni Ji.
He couldn't even look at himself now.
Even the tentacles that he had always liked were subconsciously avoided.
[Angry] said the tentacle.
Lin Yuan also felt that he was angry.
The battle entered a white-hot stage.
The scarlet eggs at the bottom of the cave almost covered the entire earth, but the crazy Ni Ji was also extremely terrifying. He did not hesitate to hurt himself and fed the knife with countless blood from his own body.
The long, huge blade turned the entire red land upside down.
The shrill cry resounded through the sky.
Broken blood vessels, tumors, and dirty blood all over the ground.
This place has almost become a pool of blood soaked in plasma.
The crying became louder and louder, becoming more piercing and sharp, covering the bright moon that barely entered this world in Lin Yuan.
A blood-red eye opened in the sky, shedding long tears of blood.
Countless bloody men wearing masks stood up and rushed towards the sentries.
The golden tree stained with blood began to move and attack Lin Yuan.
Ni Ji was surrounded in scarlet. The black silhouette of the sentry was almost submerged, with only the red light of the knife appearing from time to time.
The killer whale appeared several times, swatting away the overwhelming sharp spears, and then disappeared into thin air.
It struggled once again and reappeared, only to collapse again in a few breaths.
Everyone has reached their limit.
A life-and-death battle, with life hanging in the balance several times.
Lin Yuan knew that the more difficult and arduous the situation was, the closer victory was. The enemy was at the end of its strength and was fighting a last desperate battle.
I was covered in wounds, and the enemy was also riddled with wounds and on the verge of death.
Just a little more, just a little longer.
She felt a sharp pain in her head and had fits of twitching. The aftereffects of overusing her mental energy began to appear.
Her body was in pain, as the golden spear that broke through the air had injured her several times. She was bleeding a lot, her feet were slipping, and she was a little unable to run.
She is a guide with a strong mental power and a body that is not very suitable for fighting.
The other party knew this better than she did. All the attacks were aimed at her body.
Ni Ji's killer whale appeared and disappeared. The tentacles were all scarred, and many of them no longer had the strength to appear in physical form.
Just hold on a little longer, Lin Yuan thought, it will only take a little while.
Ni Ji fell down several times, then stood up again with the help of his long sword. He wiped his eyes which were blurred by blood.
The bright moon in the sky disappeared at some point, leaving only a scarlet eye staring at him.
He had lost too much blood and was feeling a little unable to stand.
Just a little more, he thought.
He saw a strange little creature crawling out from the bloody ground.
It has a dozen arms, three heads, and eyes all over its body, like a strange embryo that has not yet fully developed.
The tiny strange creature crawled out from the broken flesh and blood on the ground and crawled away into the distance at an incredibly agile speed.
This is the enemy's final form, and it's over if we kill it, Ni Ji's intuition based on hundreds of battlefield experiences told him.
If it runs away, the fierce battle will continue endlessly.
Ni Ji dragged his almost immobile body forward to chase the monster. The monster was crawling very fast and his legs were as heavy as lead blocks.
He hadn't encountered such a difficult battle in a long time.
Just one more step, the last one.
Several tentacles suddenly emerged from the ground and entangled the vague blood-red embryo.
The tentacles were not spiritual entities suitable for fighting and were very delicate, but they tightly clung to the bloody monster, even though they were bitten several times in an instant.
Ni Ji's knife arrived the next moment. The red long knife avoided the tentacles and nailed the squirming and struggling bloody egg.
Without the supply of blood, the long sword has become very thin.
The tip of the knife avoided all the tentacles and the long blade pierced into the monster's body.
it's over.
Ni Ji saw the other end of the battlefield through the thin blade.
Almost as if in slow motion, Lin Yuan's body fell to the slippery blood-red ground.
A long branch of the golden tree pierced her soft abdomen.
She might have been able to get out of the way, but she was distracted and controlled the tentacle.
That's what the battlefield is like.
Sometimes you think you will never die and that you can protect whoever you want to protect every time.
But in fact, no one knows where the god of death will come next.
Almost every life, whether it is the bright moon that you treasure or the insignificant weeds, is equal in the face of death.
They may suddenly disappear before your eyes.
Everything happened so unexpectedly.
Lin Yuan fell down like that. She lay on the ground, spitting out a little blood, looking at the golden tree in front of her.
That was the person she wanted to take away.
She failed and didn't accomplish what she wanted to do.
Xunhua, wearing a golden mask, stared at her coldly. Red bloodstains covered his golden mask, hiding his remaining humanity.
The masked man looked cold, numb and empty, like a puppet controlled by ghosts.
The sharp golden branch slowly pulled out from Lin Yuan's abdomen and stabbed towards Lin Yuan again.
The blood-stained tip pressed against Lin Yuan's chest, right on the small stone pendant.
The tip of the gun froze there.
A drop of golden tear fell and touched the inconspicuous heart-shaped stone, turning it into a golden heart.
He remained in the posture of assassinating Lin Yuan. The dazzling golden tree began to wither, starting from the branches and leaves, and then from the roots. The huge tree body slowly collapsed, and the swaying dead branches fell into the sticky blood on the ground.
Ni Ji ran towards Lin Yuan who was on the ground.
The embryo that had not yet completely died began to try to escape. It quietly climbed up with the last few blood vessels and slowly pulled out Ni Ji's knife.
Ni Ji didn't even turn his head, and the blood-red knife light slashed out densely, accurately and neatly, filled with overwhelming hostility.
Pieces of flesh covered in blood fell like rain. The blood vessels and pieces of flesh were cut into extremely small pieces. They shook on the ground for a while, and finally stopped moving completely.
Ni Ji didn't need to cut so many times, it was just a small embryo.
But he couldn't control himself. There was a huge panic in his heart. If he didn't do this, he would almost go crazy.
Ni Ji ran forward on the sticky pieces of meat on the ground. He was a sentry who was known for his speed.
But at that moment, he hated himself for running so slowly.
The speed of running was almost like that of a snail. The short distance seemed so far away and the time taken was so long that it was suffocating.
Lin Yuan was lying there, lying on the bloody ground, lying on the golden branches and leaves that had fallen all over the ground.
Red blood flowed out from Lin Yuan's back, mixed with the cold and dazzling metal, and spread very quickly.
The withered golden leaves in the sky turned into pale ashes, floating down like white snow.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, and the expression on his face was the same as usual, indifferent and calm, as if he didn't care about what was going to happen next.
Even if that thing means the disappearance of one's own life.
Isn't death a very common thing
Since so many people here have died, of course I could die at any time if I enter this contaminated area.
This is something Lin Yuan knew very early on.
But it seemed that she was not as free and easy as she had imagined. She found that she actually had a lot of things that she couldn't let go of.
What should I do with crabs at home
I really want to see Xiaoniao and the others again.
It’s a pity not to eat all the candies in my storage.
I also want to ask Ni Ji what exactly he encountered in the illusion just now.
Ni Ji came to her side and poured out all the medicines he had with him.
He bit open the packaging bag of the dressing and used a pile of hemostatic drugs and gauze to block the hole in Lin Yuan's abdomen. The bright red color spread on the snow-white gauze, and blood quickly seeped out and flowed out along his fingers.
Ni Ji is a seasoned sentinel who can accurately judge every fatal injury.
With such an injury, not only a guide but even a lower-level sentry cannot be saved.
A cold voice in his mind said that she was beyond saving and only had a few minutes left to live.
But he couldn't control himself. He pressed the wound tightly, as if by pressing like this, the blood would stop flowing and death would be prevented.
He picked Lin Yuan up from the ground and held her in his arms.
The guide's shoulders are even thinner than they appear. It's hard to imagine that such a weak body contains such a strong soul.
She was the first to get the key and opened the escape door for everyone.
But she didn't leave. She wanted to destroy this filthy world.
She did it. At the cost of her own life.
Lin Yuan coughed, and red blood spurted out from the corner of her mouth.
"It hurts so much." She looked at Ni Ji and said, "Why does it hurt so much?"
Her voice was very soft, as if she had no strength left and was about to fall asleep soon.
Ni Ji's shoulders began to tremble. He knew that he was powerless and there was no way out. Everything he had learned and knew was useless at this moment. The only thing he could do was to hold the guide in his arms tighter.
He actually saw a lot of things like this.
Injury, death, separation of life and death.
He had seen countless of his close friends die on the battlefield, a scene that was familiar to every soldier who had experienced many years of battle.
You should get used to it. You can tolerate it. It's no big deal. Every soldier has experienced it.
No matter how much you cherish it or how reluctant you are to let it go, there is nothing you can do. No matter how painful your heart is, even if it feels like a knife digging your heart open, it cannot prevent death.
This is the last person I have around, he thought.
The last person I cherish is about to be taken away.
And he would be left behind, alive.
From now on, there will never be moonlight on the sea again. He will be left in a dark world, and no one will ever touch his hair and give him a good night's sleep.
Lin Yuan felt cold drops of water falling on his cheeks.
She lay in Ni Ji's arms. She had never seen the sentry look so embarrassed. He seemed very weak, crying, and his tears fell silently on his face.
"Stop crying, I don't want to see you cry like this." Lin Yuan laughed. For some unknown reason, he wanted to make a joke at this time.
"As for me, I just saw you cry once in the illusion."
She saw the sentry bite his lip and broke his own lip.
Lin Yuan wanted to laugh at him, but felt that it was wrong, so he had to talk to him, "After you go back, you can find other guides. The ones we met at the banquet last time are all my friends, very gentle, and they are better at mental grooming than me..."
Lin Yuan didn't know why he suddenly became so talkative.
But this is the last time I can speak. After death, I will sleep forever, so it won’t matter if I say a few more words now.
But fatigue surged into her heart, her eyelids began to feel heavy, and she felt that she wanted to rest.
