170 A Way of Self-Preservation (2nd Update)
"It's ......"
Looking at the huge creature standing in front of her, Yelai only spoke two words, and then she could no longer speak.
And Xiao Heng squinted his eyes, raised his head, looked at this behemoth, but said slowly,
"Did you give that scale in Ah Li's hand?"
Who knew that as soon as Xiao Heng's words fell, an extremely dazzling white light suddenly lit up in front of him.
The light was shining in all directions, instantly illuminating many places above the sea level.
The already white sky was even brighter several degrees, and I wanted to shoot through it and pass through the light.
......
Right now, it was a big blue fish standing in front of Xiao Heng, gently swinging its huge tail to maintain its balance.
After Xiao Heng's words were finished, the surroundings of the big fish lit up with bright light, and her two fins were obviously dragging something.
The big fish slowly approached Xiao Heng, its fins moving forward, slowly spreading out into a plane, and a milky white ball of light floated above her fins.
"Ah-"
Xiao Heng saw what this was in an instant, and he felt that his heart was clenched in an instant, his throat was locked, and he couldn't breathe at all......
The most terrifying thing for him still happened.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Heng raised his head without fear and looked at the big blue fish.
"I'll help her. β
Unexpectedly, the big fish did not open his mouth, but a clear voice appeared in everyone's ears very clearly.
In the next moment, the big fish threw the light cluster formed by the Night Glass Death into the air, and the two fins swept their sides vigorously, bringing down dozens of scales of no less than three sizes......
Still shining.
And it wasn't until this moment that Xiao Heng found that the scales around the big fish had almost fallen off, revealing pieces of pink flesh, trembling faintly, as if it was very painful.
At this time, the scales that had been plucked off were swept into the sky by the big fish with a wave of their fins, and they happened to meet the white ball of light as it fell.
The scales seemed to be alive, and they attached to the light as soon as they met it, and quickly wrapped the light together.
Now, the white light cluster was wrapped in a layer of colorful blue, emitting an even more intense color, but it continued to fall.
And as the big fish seemed to dissipate into a greater brilliance, the blue and white light also emitted a more dazzling light.
Just when everyone closed their eyes, Xiao Heng was the only one, but he directly stretched out his hands.
It didn't take long for the boneless woman to land firmly on his arms.
"Ah-"
Xiao Heng instantly withdrew his arm, held the person in his arms, and refused to let go.
At the same time, the glory was gone.
However, it was also at this time that two muffled voices suddenly sounded behind him, Xiao Heng turned around when he heard the sound, but saw Yelai and the group falling to one side, and the king of the city took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
However, at the moment, he couldn't take care of it at all, and seeing that Yelai and the others didn't have much of a problem, Xiao Heng turned his head again.
But I saw a pale-faced girl lying on the edge of the deck under my feet, but her lower body was ...... It was a blue fishtail.
"Are you...... That fish!"
β...... Be. β
The girl looked up, her black hair was soft behind her back, and there were scales scattered all over her body, just enough to cover the sensitive places.
Her voice is clear and tactful, her face is beautiful and immature, and she should not be very old when she looks at it.
At this time, Yelai and the others had already come over, but after seeing this girl, Yelai's face suddenly changed,
"How...... How are you?"
"Yelai, do you know?"
"Lord...... I gave her a trace of blood. β
Xiao Heng frowned, looked at Yelai with deep eyes, his expression was unpredictable, but a little cold,
"Why didn't you say it early in the morning. β
"We checked, but we couldn't find her. I thought...... I thought she was dead......"
didn't speak, Xiao Heng just glanced at Yelai deeply, and then turned his head again.
Right now, the mermaid girl was holding on to the deck with her arms, and her eyes were looking at Ye Liyan with a worried gaze, as if she still had lingering palpitations.
However, seeing that she didn't plan to enter the water again, Xiao Heng frowned and slowly spoke,
"Where's the bamboo cage?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and bit the corner of her lip with water droplets,
"I ...... Didn't catch up. But I didn't mean to, I only had two fins, and I couldn't catch him at all.
And, and when I saw it, the old man ...... It's been a long time since I've been dead......"
The more the little mermaid spoke, the quieter her voice became, but it made Xiao Heng frown the more he listened.
After a while, Xiao Heng's face sank a little, and he had some guesses in his heart, but he still opened his mouth to confirm,
"You're saying he died before he got into the water?"
"Yes......"
......
Everyone fell into silence for a while, and at this time, Xiao Heng looked left and right, and finally saw Xiao Wu, who had been following them all along, had fainted on the beach on one side at some point.
"Yelai, take someone to see Xiao Wu, and the rest of the people go everywhere to see if there are any injured villagers. β
"Yesβ"
The group took the order and left, and soon, only Xiao Heng and the three of them were left.
After a moment, after making sure that there was no one around, Xiao Heng asked softly,
"Can you go ashore?"
The little girl shook her head.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Heng spoke again,
"Because of your demon pill?"
β...... Yes, but how do you know?"
It seems that Xiao Heng didn't expect that at this time, the little girl blinked, and her eyes gradually moistened.
At this point, though, it's clear that there's more important things to deal with.
Lowering his eyes and glancing at the night glaze in his arms, Xiao Heng's words softened a lot,
"When will she wake up?"
"I don't know ......"
The little girl frowned, looked at Ye Lixuan, and shook her head, but still said part of what she knew,
"The Lord needs to rest, her demon pill is not full enough, and pupation is a way to protect herself. But at the same time, it will also consume too much of her mystical power. It's a vicious circle, and you have to find a way to stop it. β
"Got it. How can I find you?"
"My name is Lan Lan, if you call me, I will come. β
"Hide it and wait for me to come. Anyone looking for you but me will not be able to appear again. β
β...... Okay, Lan Lan knows. β
After saying that, Xiao Heng hugged Ye Liyan and quickly turned around and walked towards the city.
......
And on the other side, inside the city.
After a commotion just now, there were few people in the city at the moment, and the stalls on both sides of the street were washed down in the chaos, and the goods were scattered all over the ground, and there was a mess everywhere.
Most of the houses were also closed, and even some of the larger businesses were locked.
The smoke and miasma were chaotic, and the entire city seemed to have been ransacked by robbers, and it was long gone from the peaceful and prosperous era it had before.
......
Xiao Heng glanced at the surrounding situation, and then took a deep look at the direction of the Lingcheng Palace, and then turned around with Ye Liyan in his arms, and returned directly to the patriarch's mansion.
