Chapter 34: The Shadows of the Mist
Every story has to have a protagonist.
And every protagonist needs to have little monsters around them.
After all, the so-called story is slowly strung together by the protagonist defeating the little monsters one by one.
It's just that...... Sometimes, when the author accidentally takes the wrong script......
No, no, no...... This is definitely not something that can be fooled by taking the wrong script, this is obviously full of malice.
While complaining angrily, while holding Qianqian's weak and boneless delicate body, Kazama Yangyu squinted his eyes slightly, letting the biting sea breeze mixed with the cold sea water hit his face.
The wind is whistling in the ears, and the waves are swaying around.
If the waves of Chibi can be described as "the waves crashing on the shore and rolling up a thousand piles of snow", then Kazama Yangyu is undoubtedly in a heavy snowfall, goose feather heavy snow, and even the mood will be frozen into an ice sculpture of a thousand mountains and twilight snow.
If you have to describe it in a neat sentence at this moment, it is "turbulent and collapsed clouds, breaking through the sky".
From the chill at the beginning, to the chill that permeates the entire sea.
Finally, now, it is like being in a whirlpool, turbulent currents.
The peaceful and pleasant scenery of the sea in the afternoon is long gone.
As far as the eye can see, there are only turbulent waves surging one after another, surrounding the two of them in the wind and feathers.
The red merman's teardrops, flickering slightly, tightly wrapped Kazama Yangyu and Qianqian, sheltering the two of them in the heavy waves without danger.
But even so, there was still a lot of seawater, riding the chaotic sea breeze to break through the bottom line of the teardrop defense and splash in, slightly wetting the clothes of the two.
The silver light flew swiftly upwards, almost engulfed at first, and finally gradually rushed out of the hellish waves.
Although there are still waves rolling up from time to time, I can finally open my eyes well.
The afternoon sun, scattered from the air for a long time, hit Kazama Yangyu and Qianqian, making the two of them shiver fiercely.
The icy chill quickly dissipated.
In his arms, there was a sudden burst of hot temperature, which spread rapidly like a raging fire.
"Ahh
Shouting and letting go of his arms, Kazama was suddenly at a loss for what to do.
"That...... I'm sorry, I just subconsciously ......"
turned his head and quietly glanced at the delicate cheeks beside him, and Kazama's throat was suddenly a little dry.
Even his voice became a little hoarse and trembling.
"I didn't ...... It's okay...... It's the words of the Guardian Lord......"
The intermittent sentences, but as thin as a mosquito's groan, were quickly torn apart by the sea breeze, and could not be found.
The wind in the sky, unexpectedly, was a bit noisy.
Kazama Yangyu, who didn't hear the reply, "chuckled" in his heart, and for a while, he began to feel uneasy.
It must be hated......
Suddenly I missed Her's crisp slap, at least that way, I could relieve the guilt in my heart, if I ignored it completely, it felt like a silent trial, with silent violence, hanging people on the cross of morality.
"Qian...... Qianqian......? ”
Quietly turned his face away, and glanced apprehensively at the girl who was still in a daze in front of him.
The red cheeks, the slightly distracted lilac eyes, the clothes that were wet in a few places, revealing a little creamy skin, and the long silver hair, shining in the afternoon sun, shone with a mesmerizing magnificence.
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, as if coming back to her senses, Qianqian hurriedly raised her head, and a somewhat unnatural smile appeared on her seductive face.
"Lord Guardian, what's wrong?"
"Uh......"
Completely, without a lifeless look......
I felt, unexpectedly, became lively...... Or, is it hiding something......
"Yoyo, happy? Excited? Emotional? ”
The teasing words, with strange pronunciations, came from underneath, quickly pulling the boys and girls who were a little out of the scene for a while back to reality.
"But the danger hasn't passed yet, it's about love or something, but you have to put it aside first~"
Although the words were a little embarrassing, they were indisputable facts, and Kazama smiled wryly, and looked down intently as he listened to the sound of stomping his feet.
Then, fall back into sluggishness.
The dense cold air, like mist, quietly covered the sea surface in a radius of more than ten miles.
Let the wind blow, but also just gather and scatter, if a pool of clear water, no matter how you shake, will stubbornly return to the original state.
In the icy mist, the waves dozens of feet high, like small tsunamis, jumped up, turning the entire sea area upside down.
At first glance, it is almost as if the entire sea has been swept over.
The waves dance the silver snake, the waves gallop wax elephant, and want to compare with the heavens.
Perhaps, only such a metaphor can depict the almost crazy scene in front of us.
However, what is crazy is not only the intimidation of nature, but also the huge ghostly black shadow that comes from the path, hidden under this icy sea.
Even the blue whale, the largest sea creature known to him, is nothing more than a small fish and shrimp in front of him.
Mile-long shadows, like lurking reefs, swayed slightly, suspended beneath the white mist-covered sea, making it impossible to see its true face.
However, the malice that comes from biological instinct seems to have accumulated through countless persecutions, mixed with resentment, hostility, penetrating the sea, penetrating the mist, and unscrupulously, infecting the air.
"It's ......"
Muttering, as if talking to himself, Kazama's eyes widened in disbelief.
Is the so-called Creator really such a willful existence...... After endowing humans with a supernatural intellect, he has bestowed this incredibly huge size on the terrifying monster below.
"Look, Guardian!"
Just as he was sighing, a rapid coquettish drink came from his side.
Turning his head, he quickly followed Qianqian's gaze, and Kazama's eyes narrowed quickly.
Then, in an instant, glared at the boss.
"Stream?!"
The handsome cheeks, the pale blue pupils, the shark man's peculiar, fish-fin-like ears, and heroic sword eyebrows are tightly twisted together.
Although he was a little faceblind to the strange face of the merman race, Kazama Yangyu could barely recognize the captain of the Shio Princess's guard.
I saw that between the stormy waves, the captain of the guard team seemed to be a god soldier descending from the sky, standing proudly on the crest of the waves rising into the sky, letting the wind blow and the waves, looking at the black shadow under him with blazing eyes, and the staff in his hand emitted bursts of faint light, reflecting his cheeks a little dreamy.
"What is he doing......
No...... Not him, but ...... They!
At this moment, Kazama suddenly realized that there was far more than one person who was hidden in the countless demon-like waves!
The long hair wet by the waves, dancing like a mad demon in the stirring sea breeze, with a resolute look, with a cold and shining blade, makes the handsome cheeks add a different kind of charm.
In addition to the four merman warriors he had met at the beginning, and more than a dozen members of the guard who had never met, Ji was also among the deputy captains.
The silver fishtail, in the sunlight that penetrates the mist, flashes with dazzling light, and gently churns, more than 20 vigorous figures, just like this, shuttle through the ups and downs of the waves.
A pair of pale blue eyes, staring at the dark shadow below for a moment, as if they were about to ravage and fight with it anytime and anywhere.
"Looks like we're in trouble again ............"
The corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a wry smile, and Kazama Yangyu looked straight at Qianqian beside him.
In a moment of comprehension, the silver light flashed, and quickly rushed back into the stormy waves.
"Stream! What's going on? ”
The figure, ghostly, appeared behind the merman captain.
"Why are you here?"
Liu, who had been preoccupied, turned his head suddenly, and his vigilant gaze suddenly turned into surprise.
"Uh...... Well, it's a long story...... Anyway, all sorts of things happened after I left yesterday......"
In front of him, the sad face of the merman girl flashed quickly, and for a while, Kazama Yangyu didn't know where to start, so he could only pass it by.
"Anyway, I was going to come over today to remind you of something...... It's just that it's ...... now."
"Huh?"
didn't care about the second half of the sentence, and the blue eyes that were slightly puzzled looked at Kazama Yangyu in puzzlement.
Then, suddenly, it stretched out.
"Pearl of the Night?!"
Unexpectedly, I guessed it.
An ominous premonition rose from Kazama's heart.
"Uh...... You guys...... Got it? ”
"Hmm...... Sort of, you know the result...... As for the reason, I'm afraid that's the part you're going to talk about......"
Strange, replied.
Kazama frowned, and then, suddenly, understood.
"Is it ......?"
Nodding slightly, the merman's peculiar pale cheeks quickly became flushed with shame.
"The pearl of the night has been snatched away......"
As if in response to this sentence, the huge waves that were constantly noisy suddenly began to calm down strangely.
A bone-chilling chill filled the air in an instant.
Let the originally thin fog suddenly thicken.
The heavens and the earth are shrouded in a vast mist.
Then, in the midst of this vastness, there was a dark shadow, and finally, it began to rise slowly, from the sea.
Countless columns of water, like fountains, exploded in an instant, with a melodious long sound like a bamboo flute.
In the middle of the long song, Kazama Yangyu's silver eyes suddenly glared at the boss, staring at the dark shadow in front of him that gradually covered half of the sky.
The dry sound seemed to come from the dark wind of the Northern Underworld.
"Kun...... Fish ......"
