It was as if he was a part of this world. The grass, the flowers, the stones, the water, and so on, all appeared in his mind, even more deeply than he had understood before through the bond of spiritual power.
Therefore, he could accurately find the giant reefs like pillars on the seabed, and he could also directly know the weaknesses of these sea beasts and ferocious beasts during the battle, and then kill them with one blow.
Such ferocious means directly shocked these sea beasts and ferocious beasts.
Why is this ordinary-looking human being so powerful? He is not even a warrior!
If they are warriors, relying on their keen perception of spiritual energy, these sea beasts and ferocious beasts will be able to sense the abnormal movement of spiritual energy and thus judge the strength of human warriors.
But in front of Gu Ran, their experience is useless.
Because there was no trace of spiritual energy movement here at Gu Ran. The surrounding spiritual energy did not gather on him, and no spiritual energy emanated from his body. He was just an ordinary person.
Just relying on that big stone pillar, they were able to kill all of them without leaving a single piece of armor, forcing them to retreat temporarily.
... ...
Cheng Youmeng's eyes flashed outside the light screen.
The familiar Gu Ran appeared.
Then, her gaze became extremely complicated.
Looking at Ariel who seemed a little absent-minded, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Is she the woman you have always been obsessed with
You haven't done anything wrong to her, but she is one of the pioneers in seeking care.
Why are you so nice to her but so cruel to me and my sister
Why did you lie to me? Why did you... kill my sister
My sister loves you even more than I do.
When seeing what Gu Ran had done in the past, Cheng Youmeng actually wondered if there was any other hidden story behind her sister's death.
After all, the Gu Ran shown on the light screen was truly impeccable.
But the sword in her hand will not lie.
Moreover, after she became Gu Ran's bodyguard, she also witnessed another "evil" Gu Ran, the tyrant president who was hated by the entire human alliance.
Complex emotions made Cheng Youmeng's heart tighten, and the pain in his heart was more of a psychological pain than a physical one.
He has always been a hurdle that she could not overcome in her martial arts.
... ...
In the light screen.
Gu Ran quickly fought off the invading sea beasts and ferocious beasts. When the mermaids mustered up the courage to organize a team to "buy time", they were surprised to find that there was no longer any "big guy" on the entire sea. Only a large area of red sea surface proved that a fierce battle had taken place here.
“Search the surrounding sea for clues. Shout loudly if you encounter any danger. If it is a danger we cannot handle, then lead the opponent away. We cannot let Her Majesty Ariel’s retreat be disturbed.” The leader was Alice. She assigned all the members of the team and seemed worried, but she also revealed a sense of determination to die.
After a while, the team members who were assigned came back with shocked expressions.
Oh my god, what did they see
There were countless corpses of "big guys" sunk on the bottom of the sea. Many of their bodies were beaten to pieces, and everything white, red and green had leaked into the sea water. Although it was a nutritious meal for the tiny creatures in the ocean, it was a bit disgusting for these mermaids with "lighter tastes".
Of course, what they couldn’t understand the most was why there were so many corpses under the sea
But they knew how terrifying these big guys were. If one of them attacked the mermaids and the mermaids didn't respond well, the whole clan would be wiped out and all of them would end up in the stomachs of these big guys.
Now all these big guys were lying dead on the bottom of the sea. Although they were a little confused and scared, they were mostly happy.
The mermaids present couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Only Alice's expression looked a little strange.
"It feels like... he's nearby?"
Alice murmured.
"Did he save the mermaids?"
Alice swam forward like crazy, and the direction she was swimming in was exactly where Gu Ran was.
"Is it you?"
"Come out and speak! Did you have any difficulties at that time!?"
"If I misunderstood you, please explain it to me!"
Alice shouted hoarsely.
The other mermaids looked at each other, completely confused as to what was going on.
"Alice, what's wrong with you?"
They chased after Alice.
Alice stared blankly at a reef in the distance, which was empty.
"Am I feeling it wrong? If it's really you, why don't you come out and explain..." Alice said bitterly, "And Eudora has changed... She is a stranger to me now. The clan leader has also changed, muttering some incomprehensible words all day long. What on earth... happened?"
The other mermaids said cautiously, "Alice, the chief has forbidden us to call Eudora. The name Eudora has disappeared. If the chief knows about it, he will punish you."
Alice seemed not to hear anything, and after a while she swam back in silence.
Gu Ran held the conch necklace in his hand and watched Alice and the others slowly leave.
He also didn't expect that Alice could actually locate his position based on this conch necklace.
Although the positioning accuracy and distance were not as good as those of the little conch grandmother, it almost exposed him.
Fortunately, he found that he could use that mysterious state to cut off the positioning function of the conch necklace, otherwise he would have to leave quickly because he didn't want to see Alice.
It has already happened, there is no point in explaining it further.
Gu Ran also had some guesses about the little conch's condition.
Mostly it is due to the soul and body, which requires time to adjust.
And during this time, she will be extremely weak.
Putting on the conch necklace again, Gu Ran followed Alice and the others.
After returning, Alice and the others told the clan leader what they had seen.
But what the other mermaids didn't expect was that the usually docile Alice actually had an argument with the tribe leader, and the content of the argument was actually the human who killed the elder grandmother.
"Alice, you were the one who said that you saw that human killing the elder with your own eyes, and when we went there, the ruins were indeed destroyed. This proves that the human did have bad intentions towards the mermaids."
The little conch's mother scolded loudly, "Now you say there must be a hidden story and that we must find that damned human?! What on earth are you thinking? Don't you know that Ariel has reached a critical moment and absolutely cannot allow any accidents to happen? How dare you say such a thing? If you hinder the revival of the mermaids, I will definitely kill you!"
Then, the little conch mother issued an order as the tribe leader that the tribe was not allowed to talk about that human being or Ariel's previous name anymore. From now on, there would only be the genius of the mermaid tribe, Her Majesty the Supreme Queen Ariel, and no longer Eudora who fell in love with a human.
This matter concerns the revival of the mermaid tribe. Anyone who dares not to obey will be punished according to the most severe tribal rules.
After the order was issued, the entire mermaid tribe fell silent. They had never seen such a terrifying leader.
Alice was like an eggplant hit by frost, and her eyes no longer had the same luster as before.
The last attack by sea beasts and ferocious beasts was obviously not an accidental event.
Because the little conch's strength grew very quickly, and as her strength increased, the state of the Heart of the Ocean became even more magical, firmly attracting those large creatures in the ocean.
However, they were defeated by Gu Ran several times. The sea beasts and ferocious beasts also imprinted Gu Ran's figure deeply in their hearts, and they trembled with fear when they saw Gu Ran.
However, as the number of times increased, Alice seemed to be more and more certain that the mysterious man who helped the mermaids was him. From the beginning, she yelled and wanted him to come out to explain, but later she seemed to have given up her original idea and just talked about the changes of the mermaids and the changes of the little conch as if she was talking to the air.
Gu Ran was somewhat helpless about Alice's persistence, but Alice's first-hand information about the little conch forced him to stop and listen to her story.
Gradually, what Alice said was no longer limited to the little conch, but also included her own situation. The place and time she described were no longer limited to the place where Gu Ran blocked the sea beasts and ferocious beasts, but a random place far away from the mermaid tribe.
It was as if she knew Gu Ran would be around and would listen to her.
"Are you still angry with me? I know you must have your own difficulties and hidden secrets, right? You blame me for not understanding you and misunderstanding you, which led to the entire mermaid tribe misunderstanding you as well."
Alice tried to smile, to soften her tone, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
She forced herself to suppress her emotions and said, "Over the past year, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, the mermaids would not be able to resist these big guys.
“Although you have not shown up, I know that it was you. Elder Granny, Eudora, and I were all able to sense the location of the conch necklace. Although I am the one with the worst perception, and although I don’t know how you finally concealed my perception of the conch necklace, I clearly sensed it the first time.
"Gu Ran, why don't you come out and explain? Do you know? Eudora has forgotten you! Not only has she forgotten you, she has even forgotten her former name. Instead, she only remembers that her name is Ariel.
"I know you still care about her, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have been silently protecting the mermaids for more than a year. You want to know her situation, right? She has become very unfamiliar to me now. She remembers a lot of things from the past, but at the same time, she has also forgotten them. Oh, no, she has remembered a lot of things from the past incorrectly. And now, like the chief, she keeps talking about the revival of the mermaids all day long."
Alice wiped the tears from her eyes, sobbed a little and continued, "I am not against the revival of the mermaids, but they have become too strange to me, and they have made me so scared. What happened to them
“The chief has been spreading the bad things you did in the tribe, saying that you not only killed the elder grandmother, but also secretly waited for opportunities to continue to harm the mermaids, and told Eudora to kill you when she met you.
"Then the chieftain even said that those big guys who ate so many of our kind were from the sea tribe just like us. You killed those big guys to protect the mermaids, but their real purpose was to harm the sea tribe. Those big guys clearly wanted to attack the mermaids. How could the chieftain say that? You were clearly protecting the mermaids, and those big guys were clearly the enemies of the mermaids.
“I didn’t understand, and I didn’t comprehend it. At that time, I really wanted to argue with the tribe leader again, but when I looked into her eyes, I knew that she was serious. She couldn’t be persuaded back. She swam to a sea line that was completely unfamiliar to me.
"I am really scared, really regretful, and really lonely..."
At the end of her words, Alice couldn't help but lay down on the smooth rocks and cried.
Suddenly, Alice felt a gentle force on her cheek.
Alice was startled. She looked up and found a handkerchief fluttering in the wind to her cheek.
Alice took the handkerchief, smelled it, and her fair cheeks flushed slightly.
