18. The Great Escape at Sea (I)
Around noon.
"Do you like it?" Ao Bai and his mermaid rested on the white and delicate sea sand in the coral reef jungle, comfortable and comfortable.
"I like it, it's so beautiful." Ji Mo lay on his back, pillowed his arm, squinting his eyes and immersed in the dreamy beauty of this relict independence.
The sun was shining, and when viewed from the bottom of the sea, it was a shaky, deep and shallow blue crystal circle of light; There are also wisps of light that are wide and narrow, penetrating the sea and hitting the colorful and strange coral reefs; Marine life is diverse, busy weaving through coral reefs and seagrasses......
Ji Mo felt that his eyes were about to be blinded by those colors, he took out his arm and rubbed his eyes, turned sideways, and reached out to hug the white dragon next to him.
"Tired? Let's go back and sleep for a while. Ao Bai said gently, Ji Mo stretched and nodded, and the two of them prepared to leave the reef and go back to the cave they had found in advance to rest.
*****
The change happened in an instant, and Ao Bai was surprised to feel the strong smell of fierce beasts as soon as he left the sea sand and before he left the coral reef.
"Ji Mo! Hurry up、We're going to go back as much as we can! Without saying a word, Ao Bai grabbed his partner's arm and led him to the safety of the cave.
"What's wrong? What's wrong Ao Bai? Ji Mo was surprised, he knew that Ao Bai had a calm and reliable temperament, and he would never joke or spoof or anything like that. So when he was swam with Ao Bai's arm in his arms, he didn't struggle, but helped paddle together.
"Fierce beasts are approaching. Don't be afraid, I'll take you back. Ao Bai explained calmly.
Ji Mo's heart suddenly became nervous, after all, he had already seen the strength of those carnivorous big guys, and it was definitely not something he could defeat; If there are too many opponents, Ao Bai can only avoid a single dragon.
Before he could swim far, Ji Mo sensitively discovered that all kinds of small fish, big fish, shrimp, shrimp, crabs and crabs who had been foraging and frolicking in the coral bushes had already hidden, and the vibrant scene just now had disappeared, leaving only seagrass floating gently in the seawater.
- Did you come a lot? Scared all the fish and shrimp away......
Ji Mo didn't dare to show that he was too nervous, so as not to disturb Ao Bai's mood and drag him back.
In a large area, Ji Mo only saw himself and Ao Bai, two living creatures, and he regretted it in his heart: I knew that I wouldn't have gone so far to find food, so I just stayed near the cave and caught a few fish?
A moment later.
"It's too late. Ji Mo, you immediately go to the coral bush to find a place to hide, the giant blood squid will take the initiative to attack. Ao Bai said sternly, he threw his partner hard, threw him into the coral, and with a flick of his tail, he went up quickly, leaving a sentence:
"Don't be afraid, I'll be back for you soon."
Ji Mo fell into a gray and black coral reef, and his heart was so anxious that he wanted to catch up, but he was worried that he would become a burden to Ao Bai.
What's even more terrifying is that he only looked up for a few breaths, and a shadow hung over his head.
“…… Worst! Why are so many coming? Can Ao Bai handle it? Ji Mo hurriedly leaned down, twisted and rubbed a few times, and then found a hollow coral reef cave that could accommodate him to hide.
Ji Mo quietly stretched out his head and anxiously observed the battle above.
*****
Ao Bai felt a little bad in his heart, because although these fierce beasts were only giant blood squids, and their attacks relied on tentacles and sharp suckers, they were not quite numerous, and they looked very irritable.
- He is waiting for me below, and he must fight.
Ao Bai continued to release powerful coercion and shock the giant blood squid, and the two sides confronted each other for a moment before they became entangled and killed together.
"Oh my God, what's that?" Ji Mo watched Ao Bai attack the group of fierce beasts with several soft tentacles and bulging blood-red bodies with all his strength, and he had goosebumps, it must be difficult to break free from being entangled by this invertebrate, and he didn't know if they were poisonous or not......
Several times, seeing Ao Bai's slender body entangled by those ugly and ferocious beasts, and struggling several times to break free, Ji Mo felt that his heart was about to jump out.
The battle was fierce, and the red blood stained a small patch of seawater, and fierce beasts kept falling from it.
One of them happened to fall a few meters in front of Ji Mo's eyes, and when he was still struggling to swim up, Ji Mo didn't care so much in a panic, grabbed one of his tentacles, and dragged him into the coral reef cave below.
"Still want to run?!" Ji Mo picked up the sharp stone that he had prepared a long time ago, and forcibly smashed it at the fierce beast that was almost as big as him with nausea.
It was only when he was really close that he felt fear.
The body of this giant blood squid had been scratched by Ao Bai, and purple-red blood kept flowing out, making Ji Mo feel a hot pain in his skin; And even if he was injured, the big guy's ferocious aggression was still unabated, one of his tentacles strangled Ji Mo's waist, and the others stretched out at the neck of the mermaid who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Uh~ah!" Ji Mo felt a sharp pain in his waist, as if he had been cut by countless knives, and he also saw the countless fine sharp teeth in the other party's approaching sucker-shaped mouth.
Ji Mo desperately raised the scales on his tail and shook it to attack the opponent, but unfortunately his opponent's skin was actually perverted and flexible, and he didn't open a single cut for a long time; He kept smashing the beast's eyes with the stones in his hand, because it was the only weakness he could find.
In the small cave, countless debris of sea sand and gravel were stirred up, and the sea water was turbid.
Just when Ji Mo felt that his waist was about to be broken, he suddenly felt that his tail touched a hole, and after a few tentative attacks, he obviously felt that the movements of the fierce beast slowed down.
"Die!" Ji Mo was full of energy, feeling that he should have found the part where the other party was scratched by Ao Bai.
After a long time, the tentacles of the giant blood squid finally slowly drooped down and did not move.
Ji Mo felt that his heartbeat was like a drum, fluttering fast; He looked cautiously at his opponent, fearing that he was cheating, and finally he simply left the cave. But after swimming out exhausted, he found that there was silence above, leaving only the corpses of many fierce beasts, and there was no trace of Ao Bai.
- Ao Bai, what about Ao Bai?
