Fu Ji Xianli pulled Manaka Aoi back to the boat, and then she couldn't help but squat on the board of the boat and coughed lightly. Fu Jixian only felt that the breeze was blowing, and the whole person was cold.

"Sister Aoi, you shouldn't drink the blood-mixed seawater, right?"

After seeing that Aoi was coughing, Fu Ji Xianli couldn't help but ask with some worry...... Overall, the mermaid is a poisonous thing, and the devil knows if its blood will be harmful. Anyway, Fu Ji Xianli paid special attention not to drink water when he jumped into the sea.

If you drink the seawater in this area, you will only feel salty if you are lucky, and if you are unlucky, you may be poisoned.

"Don't worry, I know how to protect myself."

Zhenzhong Aoi stopped coughing, slowly stood up and said, As an old-timer, generally speaking, Fu Jixian would think of things, she can naturally think of it...... Although the process of her falling into the water was quite sudden.

"That's good, but at such an age, we can completely forget about the natural skill of 'flat fall', right?"

Aoi Manaka: "......"

It's not that she subjectively wants to fall and fall, and she fell into the water on a boat, what does this have to do with flat ground?

As he spoke, Fu Jixian twisted the clothes on his body, wrung out the moisture soaked in the cotton clothes, and his colleague's eyes turned to the boat again...... He didn't see that the mermaid he had just thrown out had hit the "puppeteer", but when he looked at it now, the other party was still standing in place, and the mermaid was lying at his feet like a salted fish, wagging its tail half-dead.

The mermaid didn't have the ferocity it had just been in the water, and a lot of blood was spilled on the boat—it seemed to have been stabbed again, and the wound was in the chest, and if it was a hole in the waist and abdomen, the fish was bleeding in a double thread.

No matter how tenacious its vitality is, there is still no way to surpass the limits of the creature, and after the body structure is destroyed like this, it is estimated that there is no way for it to continue to live.

"You at least had a chance to do something to Mr. and Mrs. Ogasawara during the break when we fell into the water, but you didn't do it...... Your purpose is not simply to kill people.

Add that to the mermaids, what exactly do you want to do? ”

Fu Jixian asked the "puppeteer" again.

The puppeteer's combat power is relatively strong, and more importantly, just now (even now) the Ogasawara couple are in a state of confusion, so when Fu Ji Kenri and Manaka Aoi fell into the sea, it is not difficult for the puppeteer to take the opportunity to stab the couple twice.

But he didn't do that, so it can be seen that simply killing these two people is a meaningless move for him.

"If a person is constantly chasing mermaids, then will his purpose be other than 'immortality'?" This time, the puppeteer finally answered Fu Jixianli's question head-on.

But...... No, this could never be his purpose, firstly, this statement is too simple, and secondly, if it is for the sake of immortality, then the puppeteer has already obtained the mermaid, why should he continue to catch the mermaid?

Can't get the effect of eating a bite of mermaid meat? Eat at least ten courses of mermaid meat for a total of one ton?

"Lying is not a good habit, but a person is always willing to tell the truth...... If you use some small means against him. ”

As the words fell, Fu Ji Xianli's figure jumped slightly, and the whole person crossed the middle distance, and then landed on the opposite boat.

"If you want to catch large insects, a sturdy fishing net is a necessary tool."

The space on the boat was very small, so when Fu Jixianli stopped on it, he was actually only a few steps away from the dangerous person.

So the next moment, the tentacles around his body were like a spider's web, and they pounced on the puppeteer extremely quickly and silently.

There are very few people with the level of spiritual vision ability of Aoi Manaka, and the puppeteer has already demonstrated his blood coagulation technique, so theoretically, the other party must not be able to see Fu Ji Xianli's long tentacles like a giant octopus.

But not being able to see does not mean that you are ignorant and unaware, and don't forget that the "puppeteer" is a dangerous person who has killed countless people and specializes in dealing with his peers, so when Fu Ji Xianli's tentacles were about to approach the edge of his body, he immediately sensed the crisis and reacted directly.

I saw that while this person quickly dodged backwards, a dark red blood light flashed in front of Fu Jixianli's eyes, and then in an instant, the blood light spread into a loose large ball of red yarn, and then disappeared into invisible...... No, it's not gone, it's taken back.

Fu Jixian was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other party with an incredible look, and at the same time muttered to himself, "It turns out that you are also a tentacle monster?" ”

The term tentacle monster is seriously inappropriate to put on the other party...... Although at this time, the puppeteer activated his own ability in order to stop Fu Ji Xianli's attack, and his ability seemed to be a little similar to Fu Ji Xianli - all of them increased the number of limbs on his body.

The difference is that the Puppeteer adds entities instead of virtual bodies, and the number is very limited - there are four in total.

The four limbs extended from the back of his waist, two of them were dark red, flat and slender overall, like streamers that had been tied to the mast in the Age of Sails, and their front ends were stretched in a hook-like arc, giving a very sharp feel - these two limbs were a bit like the tail of a succubus like Evelyn.

Fu Jixian then judged that this thing should be something condensed with blood coagulation and his own blood.

As for the two limbs further down, they look much shorter than tomorrow's, but at the same time they appear very thick and full of a sense of strength in the limbs. The two limbs have taken on a peculiar flesh color, like the texture of the muscles that have been peeled off the skin, and are covered with white tissue fluid - they are reminiscent of the kind of "Katsuko" that some kind of ghoul endemic to the island nation carry.

These two limbs look like they are directly extended and grown out of the other person's manipulating their own body tissues.

So the red light just now was a visual distortion caused by the "puppeteer" when he sensed the danger and waved his weapon indiscriminately while backing away, trying to stop a potential attack.

But whether it is the opponent's substitution of offense for defense, or this strange physical change that seems to be highly completed, it is not the aspect that surprises Fu Jixianli, the change of the ability is messy after all, as for why he feels surprised...... Maybe it's better to explain it from the perspective of Aoi Manaka.

Naturally, Aoi Manaka was also observing what was happening on the opposite ship just now, and she also felt that this isolated environment was the best opportunity to seize that dangerous person, otherwise once the other party returned to land and integrated into the city, it would really be a needle in a haystack.

And with Fu Jixian's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to do this kind of thing normally.

However, what happened next was a little unexpected, because Manaka Aoi saw that just as Fu Ji Xianli's tentacles were about to grab the other party, as a dark cold light continued to flash, several tentacles that Fu Ji Xianli had extended over were actually cut off by Qi Qi.

This kind of thing has never been encountered by Fu Jixianli before, the tentacles are obviously imaginary and intangible things, why are they cut off by physical slashes?

It's not scientific.

Can this kind of thing be done? If you think about it deeper, or ...... Condensation and blood coagulation can certainly be distinguished, but is there really an absolute barrier between the two? It doesn't seem to be.

After being cut off a few tentacles, Fu Ji Xianli certainly didn't feel any pain, and the new tentacles could quickly come up with empty ideas to replenish them, but after being attacked by an unexpected counterattack, he had to become more cautious when dealing with this dangerous person.

The puppeteer was also thoughtful, and then he opened his mouth to Fu Jixian and asked, "I really want to hit something, right?" You can launch invisible attacks, and you are indeed a dangerous and troublesome character......"

Fu Ji Xianli: "......"

This should be the legendary thief shouting to catch the thief and beat a rake, right?

He stopped talking nonsense, stepped on the shaking ship under his feet, and rushed towards the other side again.

There is a limit to tentacle monsters, so he decided not to be a tentacle monster anymore, but to do it...... Big tentacle monsters.

If one tentacle can't solve the problem, then two, if two can't do it...... Two hundred?

Fu Jixian concentrated, and a large number of invisible tentacles rushed towards the other party again, as long as he could grasp the other party's body, then there was no reason why he couldn't win.

The puppeteer was once again aware of Fu Jixian's mad dog-like onslaught, so his slender and slender two pairs of limbs were swung again in an incomparably high-speed manner, struggling to cut away the crisis he couldn't see.

At the same time, his two pairs of lower limbs behind him also danced, but it was equivalent to the lightness and swiftness of the upper limbs, and the two pairs of lower limbs should be power-based, and it swung slowly and heavily, like the tail of a giant whale.

It can only be said that the puppeteer is indeed extraordinary, a large number of Fu Jixianli's tentacles were shaved almost instantaneously, but he was like eating Jin Kela, and the next batch of tentacles grew crazy again.

When he saw the limbs extending from the other party's back, Fu Ji Xianli had actually determined that this person was the person he and Manaka Aoi saw downstairs in her residence that day, which means that this person is indeed the "puppeteer" - four new limbs, plus six hands in total, doesn't it look like a spider.

The battle seems to be somewhat evenly matched, but what is the saying? Both can't beat the tentacles.

The puppeteer has six arms, and Fu Jixian is not only about this, but what is even worse is that his tentacles are still "renewable resources".

Not to mention......

Just as the puppeteer was concentrating on Fu Ji Xianli, he suddenly felt that his mind was confused, and at a quick glance, he noticed that the short woman standing on the boat opposite seemed to have made a string pulling motion.

Fu Jixian saw a glowing virtual arrow inserted into the other party's head...... He never said he was going to go 1v1 heads-up.

Being hit can only be said that Fu Ji Xianli put too much pressure on the other party, or that the puppeteer forgot that Manaka Aoi existed because he was careless...... Young people really don't talk about martial arts.

Although Aoi's ability is mainly used to deal with spirits, if she can cause a momentary mental shock, then she will play a great role.

That's why women can hold up half the sky.

Taking advantage of this interlude, Fu Ji Xianli's tentacles entangled the four limbs of the puppeteer, especially the two incomparably slender "succubus tails", which were very threatening, and they had to be controlled directly.

Then you just knock the puppeteer unconscious, and you can catch him.

But things are not so simple, the control effect exerted by Aoi only lasted for a short moment, and she was unprofessional after all. The puppeteer woke up immediately afterward.

Next, he glanced at Fu Ji Xianli, and at this moment, Fu Ji Xianli really felt a kind of "four eyes facing each other".

Time seems to have slowed down.

Then, I saw that the "succubus tail" broke behind the puppeteer, and at the same time, the two lower limbs were also twisted by him...... This is certainly not self-harm, but a "gecko tail breaker".

Then, before Fu Jixian had time to react, the puppeteer plunged headlong into the sea.

This person suddenly figured out, why did he want to fight Fu Ji Xianli, the purpose of his coming here was mermaid gall and the couple, the husband and wife could already give up, that is to say, he got all the things he could get, so what should he do at this time?

The most correct course of action is, of course, to retreat.

The purpose of Fu Jixianli is to catch the puppeteer, but the purpose of the puppeteer is not to catch Fu Jixianli.

So after the other party's figure disappeared into the seawater, Fu Jixianli reacted, and then began to jump.

"Escape from the battle, don't talk about martial arts!"

may be a little angry and a little unwilling, and then Fu Ji Xianli also jumped into the sea again, and then casually found a direction to swim out.

Not to mention, he swims very thrillingly and very fast...... Octopus, everyone who understands it.

But what's the use of swimming, big night, in the vast sea, where to search for that figure?

After swimming around a few times, Fu Ji Xianli honestly returned to the fishing boat where Zhenzhong Aoi was.

"Got a hole in your head? To search is also to search with a ship...... And he will only swim to the shore. ”

Zhenzhong Aoi has already started the power of the ship first, just waiting for Fu Ji Xianli to come back...... He tossed around in the sea, which was a complete waste of time.

"Ah...... Ah sneeze, Sister Aoi is right, this is the wisdom of the elderly, chase quickly, unless he doesn't show his head to breathe, there will definitely be a chance to find the other party. ”

Fu Jixianli was a little depressed because he was stupid again.

At the same time, he secretly complained that Sister Aoi's assistance was average, and his control skills were not enough, so he didn't have any chance to output, otherwise he would have put that guy down.
