3. Chapter 3: The Mermaid

The strong force of the fall caused me to sink a few meters under the sea, and the high pressure of the water caused a large amount of salty sea water to pour into my nose, piercing my nerve center with a burning pain. The water rushed against my body, and the blood from my wounds turned into a mist of blood, dissolving and spreading as the sea flowed.

The water irritated the tear ducts, my eyes were swollen and sore, and I opened only a small slit in my eye, and paddled my limbs quickly, swimming up under the buoyancy of buoyancy, and I had to climb to the reef as best I could, or I would become food for the merfolk in the vicinity.

Merfolk are hunters with a keen sense of smell, they can catch the smell of blood from great distances and then surprise their prey with incredible speed. Conversely, if I'm in the sea, my mobility will be slowed down by the resistance of the water, and my abilities won't work.

I saw sunlight shredded by the sea, and as long as I swam a meter further, I was able to penetrate the sea and breathe fresh air.

At this moment, the sea suddenly became unusually disordered as if it had been stirred by some behemoth, and strange screams rang in my ears. Suddenly something was gripping my feet, and the cold touch penetrated my pants into my skin, making me shiver instinctively.

I was jerked down to the sea, and when I looked through the sunlight overhead, I saw that it was a blue-tailed male mermaid who had dragged me into the sea.

It's a deep-sea merfolk.

They are the mildest and weakest of all the merfolk races, feeding only on human blood, but their claws can still disembowel humans.

His sharp nails dug into my flesh, and my blood flowed out. Blood will attract more merfolk, and I'll have to deal with this troublesome guy quickly.

I spun my feet, caught his claws, and bent down to stab him in the shoulder with a dagger, but the water was so lethal that he dodged it easily, and β–‘β–‘ his sharp teeth over my shoulders, his claws clasped my hands, and the fishtail wrapped around my legs.

The scales were like thin blades, scratching me, and the biting chill seeped into my skin from his webbed claws, and I shuddered, his webbed claws were not big enough to wrap around my fists, but the grip was quite amazing, comparable to mine's strength.

There was a tingling sensation in my shoulder, this guy was sucking my blood! This creature's eating style is much gentler than the evil mermaid who tears people to pieces and eats them, but I don't want to give my life here.

[Sals, quick, bite his ear fins, that's his weakness!] 】

March's thoughts came cold, and I saw him not far away, battling another deep merfolk. I thought about it for a second, and then I decided to act in the rude way he offered me - in fact, I only had the teeth to move easily, and I wouldn't be the first to be dodged by this nimble creature.

The fragile looking ear fins were all over the veins, and I barely had to bite hard before I tasted the salty liquid.

The guy immediately stopped acting as if someone had pressed the pause button, and after a few seconds of sluggishness, he let go of me and flicked the fishtail like crazy, stirring the water into a whirlpool, and his mouth came out with a single syllable, as if shouting something.

At this moment, the strange scream of the sea almost sounded close to my ears, and as soon as I saw a few blue shadows in front of my eyes, I saw several teeth with amazing clenching force, bloodshot at me.

I'm surrounded by a bunch of deep sea merfolk!

Damn it. I quickly enveloped my body in flames, increasing the heat to the extreme, the heat of the fire evaporating the seawater, and the merfolk who tried to get close to me were all screaming fiercely.

But under the resistance of the water, this state doubled my body - which is why I didn't use this method against that guy. My chest was swollen and aching from the lack of oxygen, and my head felt dizzy, so I held my breath to the limit, and immediately paddled my limbs and swam to the surface.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I inhaled the fresh air, my foot was grabbed again.

Hell, it's that guy again, and he's withstanding my heat.

I thrust my serrated dagger into the reef next to me, and with my other hand grasped the ravine of the reef, I threw my body out of the sea, and slammed the guy's head into the reef by the way.

"Whoa!" The guy let out a scream, and I drew my dagger back, and was about to stab it in the head, when a roar that was enough to tear the sky rang out, like a nuclear bomb exploding in my ear, shaking me almost deaf, and my body trembled uncontrollably.

I looked up in shock, the mermaid lord was swimming with a group of ferocious red-scaled merfolk, and the deep sea merfolk who had been attacked by me just now were also surrounding me.

It was terrible, and March was still fighting the deep merfolk on the other side, and he couldn't help me. The viscous humidity of the air aggravated the cold sensation on the surface of my body, my teeth chattered with coldness, many wounds on my body were soaked by seawater, and blood was pouring out, and my brain was already overwhelmed and protested, and I would go into standby at any time.

My brain sent a signal to save itself, and I looked at the guy in front of me who was holding his head dizzy, and a very bold idea came to my heart: deep sea merfolk are social mermaids, they do not harm their companions, and they are generally faster than red scale merfolk. Well, maybe I can capture him and let him take me out.

I didn't have time to think about the feasibility of the idea, so I threw a bar of fire at the guy, strangled him by the neck, jumped into the water, wrapped my limbs around his slimy body, and pointed a dagger at his chest.

"I know you understand our language, now, get me out of here, or I'll leave you with a beautiful hole in your chest."

"Whoa!" He grabbed the fire and tore at it, frantically flicked the fishtail, and screamed out of his mouth, and if I hadn't wrapped my limbs around him, I would have been thrown out by him. Later, probably seeing that it was useless to resist, he stopped struggling, and honestly swung the fishtail and swam towards the shore at an accelerated pace, only to let out an unconvinced cry from his mouth.

The deep-sea merfolk did give way to us, but the merfolk lords behind were chasing faster.

My heart was beating violently, it was a desperate chase, either I would shake off the merfolk lord or die in his hands.

But the mermaid lord's body is several times that of us, and when he swings his fishtail, he travels far more than us, and the distance between us is constantly shortening!

I suddenly had a headache in my head, as if I had been put on a noise maker, and the weird noise was jumping around, and my head hurt like it had been broken in half. Damn, it's a sonic attack from the Merfolk Lord, and as long as there's a sound medium, it can attack my nervous system.

I couldn't concentrate at all, and my hand around the neck of the deep sea mermaid was shaking, when I felt a shadow loom over me, and when I looked back, it was a monstrous wave.

"Salsβ€”"

As soon as March's shout pierced my ears, I smelled the salty smell of the sea, and then, my scalp tingled, and the sea rushed down from the top of my head, and I was swept into the waves before I could react.

A large amount of seawater poured into the mouth and nose, and the remaining oxygen was squeezed out by the strong current, and the chest was swollen and painful. The salty liquid poured into my eyeballs, and I couldn't see where I was swept away by the current, and I didn't even know when the limbs that were wrapped around the mermaid were released.

At this moment, my back seemed to be supported by a hand, and a cold body wrapped around my chest.

It was the deep-sea merfolk I had captured, and he seemed to be looking for a suitable place to suck blood, sniffing around my neck.

My neck was cold, cold webbed claws touched my neck, and long thin nails hooked the pendant around my neck.

That's what my mother left me, don't touch it, you guy!

I pulled the pendant back, slapped his face away, and used the last of my strength to swim upstream. He grabbed my ankle again and jerked it to my chest, just a centimeter away from me.

The moment I saw his face clearly, I was stunned.

This is a face that is only about ten years old, it looks like a handicraft carefully created by Ai Shen, whether it is the skin or the appearance, it is perfect, if you grow up a little more, I believe, it must be able to get the favor and screams of the girls on the island.

Not only that, but he also has a pair of light green eyes. Maybe it's because of his young age, but those eyes are like a spring flowing with clear water, very pure.

I knew it was crazy to put this thought on a brutal merfolk, but the memories were like upside-down jugs that spread rapidly in my mind, and there used to be a pair of light green eyes looking at me, just like he did now.

The two faces of memory and reality coincided strangely, and I even had the illusion that he was that person, because they were the same age and had the same light green eyes.

"Ka...... ......"A strange and clear sound came from his mouth, and the sound was very pleasant, like the sound of a mountain stream hitting jade. It's strange, it's in the sea, but I hear it clearly.

I couldn't understand the meaning of these two syllables, maybe a prayer before enjoying a meal, maybe an expression of excitement.

Indeed, in my current state, I am a food to be slaughtered, and there is no threat.

However, in the face and eyes, I could not attack in any way. I swore I would never hurt any more children with light green eyes.

- "Sals, your kindness will ruin you one day. ”

What the instructor had said was like a megaphone ringing in my head, and the sound waves that vibrated made me sober.

Just then, a huge red tail swept over and slammed into my abdomen.

The pain spread from my abdomen to my limbs, and I opened my mouth in pain and was forced to pour in a mouthful of seawater.

The only oxygen was squeezed out by the seawater, and the body suddenly lost all strength. I was like a patient who was about to lose my sight, and gradually I couldn't see anything, but felt my body sink and sink weightlessly......

A pair of arms caught me, and the water went backwards at an incredible speed, and my body moved up and down...... Oh, and if you look closely, it's me being held by the merfolk of the deep, making my way through the sea quickly, dodging the giant claws of the mermaid lord.

Is he saving me, is he trying to keep me alone?

Who knows.

My body sank and I slowly lost consciousness......

I saw in the sun a pair of light green eyes, clear and bright.

Ed...... Is that you?
