8. Chapter 8: The Devil
"Whoa!"
The weight on my back suddenly disappeared, and I saw a blue shadow pounce in front of me, forcing me to block the lightning.
"Interpretation—"
That lightning bolt hit Shi directly in the head!
He let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.
I immediately rushed out and to hell with those thoughts of hiding my identity, now that the life of the release is more important!
With a dense golden electric current wrapped around his head, he flicked his tail in pain, scratching a mess of marks on the sand.
As soon as I touched him, I was so numb by the electricity that my head suddenly felt like a propeller, and I felt so dizzy that I wanted to vomit.
"Ai Shen, what did I see, a mermaid!" The male voice full of excitement sounded, as if it was deliberately suppressed, and it sounded a little nasal.
The man who unleashed the lightning was the middle-aged man who commanded the staff, he didn't have the breath of our people on him, and I couldn't tell what race he belonged to based on his appearance alone.
He was walking towards us, his legs straight, his steps regular and rhythmic, the sound of his heels rubbing against the ground, like a drum beating at a fixed time, was a shock to the spirits. I think he must have been born in the military, and he walked too much with the courage of a soldier.
Still, instead of looking at his haughty face, I stared at his shoes.
A pair of brown military boots.
The horrible nightmare suddenly appeared in my mind, and my body trembled slightly, and a longing surged through me.
That's right, the same style, the same calm and steady tracking...... And the same voice, it was him, he killed "me".
Kill him, kill him to avenge "me"!
"Whoa!"
A cry of pain pierced my eardrums, and I shuddered with a shudder.
Hell, what am I doing, how can I have that murderous thought.
I immediately came back to my senses, and found that the current on my body had decreased, and the numbness in my body had disappeared, and immediately turned into a fierce wall of fire to stop the man's advance, and then scooped up Shi and ran back to the dense forest.
"Sals, quick, here!"
I ran in the direction March's direction, and then I heard the sound of the motor.
I turned around, and three heavy locomotives burst out of the wall of fire and chased after us, the distance between them and us was shrinking.
Damn it! The speed of a person is not comparable to that of a locomotive at all, not to mention the weight on my body, and the speed has decreased because of the current.
Just as I was about to snatch the locomotive, March shouted in horror, "Oh my God, there's a behemoth coming here for now, and it looks like it's trying to contain us!"
"Directions?"
"Forty-five degrees in front of the right!"
"Okay, rush over." I couldn't wait for March to react, so I tightened my back and ran to the right front.
March sensed it well, there was indeed a behemoth in this direction, it was so huge that we were only as tall as its calf. As for what kind of species it is, I don't see it clearly, we just happened to pass it by inertia.
Its thick tail flung across it like a scythe, and we jumped on it, carefully avoiding the sharp bone spurs on its back, and crawled onto it.
It seemed to spot us, roaring and shaking its body and rampage through the surrounding trees, and we had to claw at its bone spurs tightly and cling to its cold skin to prevent it from being thrown off.
Three locomotives stopped next to it, and the occupants raised their guns at us, but they did not seem to dare to harm the behemoth, and did not shoot.
Until the arrival of a helicopter.
The hum of the propeller turned drowned out the roar of the behemoth, but the voice of the middle-aged man on the plane seemed to have the power to block out the noise, and it reached our ears clearly.
"So, what are you waiting for?"
[He was going to have the people on the locomotive shoot.] ] Ma Chi Tong guò consciousness sue sù me.
[I know, follow me.] 】
"Shoot!"
As the man's voice fell, I pounced on one of the locomotives in the direction of the tail flick, flipped the driver to the ground, and aimed the gun in his hand at the opposite driver, pulled the trigger, and ended the other man's life. Then I quickly snapped the driver's neck, grabbed his bike and gun, stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.
It was only then that I could see what the behemoth was, it was a terrible giant lizard, it had eight claws, its whole body was covered in red scales, the muscles of its hind limbs were quite powerful, and it was very responsive, and the moment I broke away from it, it quickly changed direction and ran towards me.
I suddenly felt a heat in my back, and subconsciously hugged my back into my arms, and passed the locomotive sideways, and at this moment, the blazing fire burned my arm, quickly melting my sleeve.
I broke out in a cold sweat, this eight-clawed lizard can breathe fire, but fortunately I am immune to fire and am not injured.
The speed at which the eight-clawed salamander breathed fire was also quite astonishing, almost as soon as I dodged this fire, another fire struck. I had to take control of the locomotive while shooting at the rear. Metal shells kept falling to the ground, and unfortunately, the bullets couldn't penetrate the eight-clawed salamander's hard, scales, causing even the slightest damage.
I looked at March, who had also grabbed a locomotive and was being chased by a helicopter, and the situation was not good.
[Let's act separately, tree insight!] 】
March hurriedly left this sentence and increased his throttle and drove towards the road opposite me. I'm sure with March's ability he will be able to join me safely, but I might be able to do something for him.
I shot a hot fireball at the bottom of the helicopter and sent a whirlwind of flames in front of it, and the helicopter was instantly surrounded by flames and staggered to and fro.
I didn't pay attention to what happened to the helicopter because now I need to get rid of this damn eight-clawed salamander.
It is like a flame that grows when it smells the wind, its feet are very fast, and its body is very light, although the bushes around it are trampled to rot, but its heavy body does not leave any footprints on the soil. The huge black shadow is like a curtain of death cast on us, gradually enveloping us, it is getting closer and closer to us, and the bullet is empty.
I looked back, and it looked like a normal lizard, but its scales were as thick as an iron wall, and each one emitted a steely glow. But no matter how hard something is, there are weak places, such as its eyes.
Its iris was an astonishing red, like a pool of blood in hell, and its long and narrow pupils seemed to be sucked into it by a different dimension, and as soon as I breathed hard, I immediately shot two flames into its eyes.
The flames struck its eyes with unmistakable accuracy, and it screamed in pain, clawing wildly at its eyes.
The smell of burning blood spurted out and ignited on the ground, and the burning smell was disgusting, and I immediately increased the throttle and left.
Thankfully, it was eventually thrown off by me and didn't catch up.
I went back to the hollow and stopped, burned the car, threw the fire bar onto the tree and wrapped it tightly, climbed the tree with all my strength, and then swung to the next tree. In this way, I returned safely to the tree hole.
I put it down and gasped hard.
There was no electricity winding around his head, but his expression was so painful that his breathing was so weak that I could barely feel it, and the tail of the fish had turned a dry gray and slumped like a long-term lack of moisture.
"Shi, how can I help you!" I shook his shoulders in shock, how I hated myself for not being a doctor, otherwise I would have been able to save him.
The voice of the "......" release was so weak that he couldn't even pronounce a complete word, and he couldn't even open his eyes!
A suffocating fear gripped me.
Shi is dying, he is dying to save me...... He's going to die right in front of my eyes, just like Eddard!
I stood up anxiously and walked back and forth in the hollow of the tree with my chest crossed. Sals, calm down, calm down, you need to think calmly about how to save him.
Mermaid Race!
Yes, maybe his people will save him.
"Shi, I'll take you back to the sea, maybe your people can save you." That's the only way I can think of it.
A webbed paw limbly grabbed my arm.
Cold! The word popped up in my brain, it was a kind of coldness that seemed to freeze even the soul, and the release began to take on a dead gray color all over his body, and I gripped his webbed claws in fear, and found that the slime on his body was losing its viscosity, and it felt like a dead fish that had been exposed to the sun for days, terrible.
"Shi, please hold on, I'll take you back immediately."
Just as I was about to pick up Shi, Shi grabbed my clothes with difficulty, struggled to move them into my arms, and rubbed them in pain.
Then, five seconds later......
He snapped his eyes open.
A wave of air hit my chest in an instant, and before I knew what was happening, I was thrown out of the door, and then my head went blank, and I didn't know anything except the pain of being burned by fire.
I don't know how long it lasted, but eventually I didn't know what I hit and stopped.
My body ached as if I had undergone a brutal scraping, and my brain was like a heavy pool of lead, pounding in my head. And the back is like carrying a heavy magnet, firmly sucking in the things that are leaning on, and it is quite difficult to even move it.
All the qiē in front of me were blurry, like a layer of white mist, and I tried hard for a long time to catch a little scene and slowly regain consciousness......
I stared blankly at the broken tree trunk in front of me, my head in chaos, how ...... What's going on? What happened?
My head hurts and I can't think of anything.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, and no sound could be heard.
Until the trees in front of me fell one by one......
A pair of sharp claws that seemed to be able to tear through the darkness violently pierced the trunk of the tree, and uprooted the tree and threw it out of the broken hole.
I watched blankly, oh, and at some point there appeared people in clothes painted with the "LS" logo, who were unfortunately hit by the trunk of a tree and fell in a pool of blood.
The owner of those claws, a blue-tailed mermaid? No, it seems to be a beautiful silver tail...... Oh no, if you look closely, it's still bluetail...... I guess I'm wrong.
As if he had gone mad, he grabbed the arm of an "LS" officer, and with a quick tear, the poor arm was lifted out of the man's body. As soon as he turned around, he smashed the other man's head, and disgusting brains and blood burst out, and a strong smell filled the air.
It smelled like rotting corpse fluid that had been soaked for ten years, and it was so bad that my stomach felt like a blender was in it, and vomit poured back up my throat.
And the killing continues.
Some people were bitten off their throats, a large amount of blood gushed out like a fountain, some people were dug out of their hearts alive and died tragically, and some people were torn out of their abdominal cavities, and large pieces of blood-stained intestines were turned out...... Oh, and in the end the man was not dead, but was lying on the ground howling in pain.
The merfolk had killed almost everyone, and he was like a victorious monarch, his eyes full of arrogance above others, and he was slowly swinging his tail to inspect his prey.
The man who didn't die had the misfortune of becoming his plaything, and he smirked and thrust the sharp fishtail into it. into the man's intestines—
"Ah!!h
The screams pierced my eardrums like bullets, and I was shaken like I had been electrocuted, and the scene in front of me gradually became clearer, and the indistinct sound became louder.
I...... What are you doing?
"N-ahhh
The screams brought me back to reality, and my eyes widened in shock, what was going on here? The smell of bloody blood floated in the air, blood pooled into a river, and a broken limb lay in a river of blood, and a mermaid ...... No, I can't believe my eyes, that mermaid who is abusing people, yes!
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that his facial features are a little more three-dimensional than just now, and his hair and fishtail have also become longer, and the fishtail brushes a trace of silver in the sun, but the silver color quickly disappears.
Memories came flooding back to my mind at this time, and I woke up completely, God, what am I doing? I witnessed a brutal slaughter and was completely unresponsive!
"Shi-" I called out to Shi, who almost tore the man's arm open. I felt the bones of my whole body shatter and creak in my body, and I felt the trunk of a large tree, the leaning object behind me, with great pain, and staggered towards the release with great difficulty.
When I got to him, I was surprised to find that he was only my chest-high height, but now he was at shoulder level with me.
I didn't have time to think about what was going on, I just knew I had to stop the release.
Taking advantage of the fact that Shi was not looking, I threw a dagger at the person under his fishtail to relieve the man's pain, and then I tried to call the name of the man: "Shi, it's me."
Shi smiled and stretched out his scarlet tongue, licking along the blood line on his elbow all the way to the blood-stained fingertips, as if sucking sweet nectar, devouring the remaining blood and brain pulp between his fingers, little by little, and then licked the sharp teeth stained with blood and minced flesh in fascination.
He kept looking at me, the eyes were so terrible, like staring at a prey that had been salivating for a long time, full of murder and longing, a fear that seemed to be terrifying even to the soul cut the nerves, and my fingertips trembled unconsciously.
No, he's not the one who will be coquettish to me, he's just a demon, a demon through and through!
"Release, sue me, this is not really you." I looked at him in amazement, subconsciously taking a step backwards, but he followed the fishtail and took a big step forward, almost clinging to me.
The cold webbed claws touched my face, which was still stained with white brains, and when it touched my face, the disgusting sticky touch almost made me faint. But I didn't dare to move, and now in this position, his sharp nails could easily cut through my throat.
"Shi, please sue me, how can I help you?" I believe that his sudden abnormality must have something to do with the current or LS, maybe the current hurt his nerves, or maybe the appearance of LS stimulated him. After all, not long ago, he still had my shadow in his eyes, but now he only has tyrannical blood.
He leaned up to my chest, as if smelling an old wine, and took a deep breath in intoxication: "Kashi......"
"Release?" This voice is very familiar to me, it belongs to the original pure interpretation. I looked down at him, he seemed to be suppressing something, his body trembled slightly, he slowly raised his head, his voice became softer, and his eyes were full of panic: "Kashi?"
"It's me." I relaxed my tense nerves for a moment, and cautiously reached my hand to his head, which happened to touch the top of his hair, and I curled up my fingertips again, feeling that he was not hostile, before I reassured myself to stroke his head, just like I had done to him before, "Don't worry, no one can hurt you anymore." ”
"Kashi." He hugged my waist and grinned a weird grin, yes, weird smile, and then I had a dull pain in the back of my head, and my eyes instantly blackened, and I lost consciousness completely.
