A loud noise on the sea in the distance woke up Yu Siqi, who was still dozing off, with a slightly frightened expression, Gong Chen sat up and looked at the fog clouds that gradually dispersed in the distance in a panic, his face was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

The waves crashed against the rocky walls of the shore, splashing even to the very top of the highlands. Yu Siqi, who was standing next to the cliff, realized that the sea level had risen.

Sensing this anomaly, he was about to inform Gong Chen beside him, but found that the latter was no longer by his side. After a little searching, I saw Gong Chen walking around the entrance where they had entered.

"The sea level has risen," Mr. Yu said, walking briskly over to him.

"I know, I have bad news." Gong Chen turned around and said, "The entrance is blocked by a strange substance, and we may be trapped here temporarily." ”

"What, how is that possible?" Yu Siqi took a closer look and found that the original gap was blocked by some dark green viscous substance, and the whole place had a strange fishy smell.

"Don't get too close to that thing, it could be poisonous." Gong Chen reminded nervously.

"So what do we do now?" Yu Siqi turned around and asked.

"Wait for the priest and the others to come back and figure out a way together," Gong Chen said as he looked at the rising sea level with a worried expression, "I hope they can arrive in time before we are drowned." ”

Following Yu Siqi's gaze, the old iron boat was struggling to move forward in the churning waves. Because Ah Zhe's teleportation cannot be used in this sea area, it is still up to Father An to drive the boat to bring everyone back. Due to the aging of the hull, the stern of the ship has begun to leak, so Ah Zhe has to stand at the stern and scoop the water with the shells he has picked up. In the end, it seems that their intrusion caused the 'little guy' under the sea to be angry, so that Ah Zhen had to open the enchantment, but the hidden giant beast under the sea did not seem to intend to let go of these prey that entered their territory without permission, and kept sticking out giant pincers from the bottom of the sea as if they wanted to drag the hull of the ship into the sea, but they were blocked by the enchantment, making a series of collision sounds.

"Xiao An, how long is it? Ah Zhen couldn't support it anymore. Shi Yizhe, who was standing at the stern of the boat scooping water, saw the enchantment that was already a little cracked, and hurriedly shouted.

"It's coming, it's almost there." Father Ann felt that the speed of the hull was slowly decreasing, and it seemed that the ship's power energy was about to run out.

With the sound of glass shattering, the barrier that sheltered them from the wind and rain had completely cracked into a spiderweb-like shape. Xie Baozhen knelt on the dirty deck, holding the white ball in one hand and struggling to turn it with the other. Blood was slowly flowing out of her tender palm, making people feel distressed when they saw it.

The once long coastline has gradually been submerged by the sea, and only a few reefs are left for people to inhabit. Yu Siqi glanced at Gong Chen, who was bowing his head and facing away from him, took off his shoes and socks and poured out the seawater inside, in the evacuation just now, he accidentally slipped down, fortunately Gong Chen had a good water and pulled him up again, but the price was soaked, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, that's my question just now, are you okay?" Yu Siqi, who was a little worried about Gong Chen, changed his foot and asked.

"Don't bother me, I'm busy!" Gong Chen muttered impatiently.

It seems that he is really angry, which is also a normal thing. Since this series of incidents, Gong Chen has always treated everyone with a selfless and dedicated attitude, and I don't know why Father An always doesn't give him a particularly good look. As far as Yu Siqi is concerned, although Gong Chen has hidden something from himself, he has a good attitude of admitting his guilt and is humorous, and he is indeed a friend worthy of deep friendship. What's more, he just saved his own life.

Yu Siqi, who was pondering, was shocked by Gong Chen's sudden "done", and Gong Chen, who was full of smiles, held a piece of stick in his hand and said, "Fortunately, I left a hand before I went out." ”

"You're all right?" Yu Siqi asked, the sea water was slowly leaving down Gong Chen's trouser legs, and Gong Chen, who was soaked all over, could still smile so brightly in this situation, I was afraid that he was stupid by the waves when he pulled him up just now?

"Now it's saved, it's saved!" Gong Chen waved the stick in his hand a few times and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Hey, bro... Are you really okay? Yu Siqi looked at Gong Chen, who was dancing with his hands, with suspicious eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, yes!" Gong Chen stuck his stick on the ground and said, "Look, Father, they're back!" ”

Before the "bang" sound of the hull hitting the reef stopped, Father An hurriedly jumped ashore with Xie Baozhen in his arms, and Shi Yizhe, who was following behind, looked back at the sea with a gloomy face, and also came to their side.

"What's the matter, Father?" Yu Siqi stepped forward and asked, "Who are you..."

"Now is not the time for small talk, we may have a fierce fight," said Father Ann with a calm face, "Ah Zhe, you help Ah Zhen over there; Small, you stand with them, and don't come and meddle in whatever happens. Gong Chen, what kind of thing are you holding in your hands! ”

"A lifesaver." Gong Chen shook his eyebrows a few times and said, "Whether we can survive this time depends on this thing." ”

"May it be your self-confidence and not your arrogance," said Father Ann in a slightly mocking tone, "and it's coming." ”

Suddenly, after the tin boat was clamped in half. A huge creature slowly rose from the bottom of the sea, dozens of stories high, and it really looked like a giant crab. It turns out that the desert island is actually its back, and those fog clouds are actually the gas it breathes.

Before Father Ann could take a stand, the monstrous beast opened its belly. The dark green water slowly flowed out of it, and a loud sound like thunder wafted over the entire sea.

It seemed that the monster was shouting a language that ordinary people could not understand, but Father Ann calmly asked, "Are you called Bamon?" ”

"Bamon... Don't let you ants be so unreasonable..."The big crab that called himself Bamon kept changing its mouth, from a language that everyone didn't understand to a language that everyone could understand, and it was obviously not as simple as everyone thought it was to be an ordinary monster.

"Wait, Bammon?" Yu Siqi cried out in surprise: "Isn't that the Seven Great Beasts of the Protector of the Lamer Siani people?" Could it be that this guy is the monster recorded in the book? Is that book true? ”

"Bamon... Ordered to guard... Here... Why did you break in... Bamon... I'm very angry..."The big crab waved its huge claws, giving people the illusion of showing off its might.

"So, Lord Bamon, can you tell us what you're guarding?" "Of course, we are just curious, and we have nothing else to say," said Fr. Ann politely. ”

"Bamon... Not stupid... The intruder wanted to trick Bamon... Unforgivable..."Bamon suddenly crusted his pincers into the reef they were on, and just as they were about to collide with Father An, a familiar barrier opened again, but it only lasted less than a moment before it shattered, and the white ball slipped from Xie Baozhen's fingertips and rolled to Yu Siqi's feet. She herself passed out because of this action.

Although it was only a moment of peace, it gave Father Ann enough time to react.

Fr. Ann, with a face full of anger, took off his coat and revealed a navy blue robe, and the golden round badge was hanging around his neck.

In the filthy place of darkness,

Evil grows wildly,

If you want to walk here,

Is it possible to be forgiven?

To purify here,

Can I get help?

The beast roared like death,

We are helpless,

Behold, the refuge of our lord.

As Father Ann chanted the incantation, a faint white light emanated from the badge in his hand, and the large crab named Bamon seemed to be a little afraid of the light, and began to take a few steps back.

Soon, brighter and brighter white light enveloped Father An's entire body and slowly lifted him up. They were surrounded by a shroud thicker than the barrier that Azhen had ever opened, with the blessings of Lami Siani floating on them.

"Bamon... Invincible! Seeing Father An's actions, the big crab named Bamon was unexpectedly angry, and frantically rushed into the outer perimeter of the barrier, but could only knock himself backwards one after another.

"Good fellow, it turns out that the priest is so powerful." Gong Chen slapped the inner wall of the enchantment, but the sound of 'dong dong' came from it.

"Xiao An's shouldn't last long," Shi Yizhe hugged Xie Baozhen, who had just woken up, and said softly: "Don't force yourself next time." ”

"No... I'm fine. Xie Baozhen said weakly.

"Here, your darling." Yu Siqi picked up the white ball under his feet, stuffed it into Xie Baozhen's arms and said, "What you did just now was really timely, we all owe you a life." ”

"Gong Chen, hurry up and find a way, I can't attack it like this." Flying in the air, Father An shouted downward, "We can't go on like this, my strength will not be able to hold up." ”

"Then I want to ask," Gong Chen said, holding a stick, "Can this enchantment be put away?" ”

"Are you stupid? If we put it away, we'll all have to die under that Bamon's claws. Yu Siqi said.

"No, I mean—can you put it away when I'm ready, after all, I'll have to go through this barrier to attack it!" Gong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Can you promise to kill that Bamon?" Shi Yizhe asked distrustfully, "How do I know if your attempt will kill us all?" ”

"If you have a better way, I'm willing to listen." Gong Chen spread his hand and said, "If we continue to consume it here, we are also waiting for death." Or if you want to use the conveyor belt to go back. ”

"Psychic teleportation can't be used, this sea area has the effect of interfering with the mind." Shi Yizhe explained: "Otherwise, we would have gone back a long time ago. ”

"Then it seems that we can only gamble," said Father An's voice from above, "tell me your plan, Gongchen." ”

"Thank you for your support," Gong Chen held the stick in his left hand and made a bow opening motion with his right hand, "I want to shoot this Bameng." ”

"You're kidding," Yu Siqi said, looking at the stick, "this thing doesn't look like a bow at all." ”

"That's nature, it's the 'wreckage' that the founding emperor of Rammesiani gave him a famous bow." Gong Chen deliberately read the last two words very lightly, but they were still so loud in everyone's ears.

"How did you get the "wreckage" of this famous bow? Shi Yizhe also deliberately read the word 'wreckage' very heavily to express his suspicions.

"Oh... I used to... Picking up garbage... Got it by chance... It took me over a year to piece it together and tested it a few times. Gong Chen said with a fluttering look in his eyes.

"What did you test it with?" Schyizhe continued to ask.

"Stumps, hares, swallows, and the like." Gong Chen waved the stick in his hand and said, "Don't look at it now, it was very beautiful many years ago, it told me personally." Now, it also told me that it would definitely shoot the big crab on the other side, just like it once shot its mate. ”

"That's fate," said Father Ann, smiling, "well, you're ready to say it, and I'll believe you this time." ”

"Wait, Xiao An, this method is too risky." Shi Yizhe hurriedly added: "Maybe there will be... Something more secure..."

"Perhaps, but I'm running out of it." The white light in Father An's hand began to fade, and the originally quiet Bamon seemed to see some flaws, and began to launch a violent impact again, and the entire interior of the barrier shook very violently.

"So, I'm going to start performing a hundred steps." Gong Chen took a horse step and put on a very standard archery posture, and found that the bow body was a little long, so he changed back to the standing position and said again: "Father, I'm ready." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the white barrier vanished. Bamon, who had just been knocked unconscious, saw a new opportunity, shook his somewhat damaged claws, and sprinted straight towards them.

Looking at Gong Chen, who was slowly taking the bow, Yu Siqi suddenly felt that Ah Zhe's insistence was not unreasonable, but Father An had already fallen to the ground, and now he could only resign himself to fate. If you really lose the bet, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, after all, you are a person who has died once, and it is not a difficult thing to accept to die again.

However, before he could think about what attitude to take to meet death, Gong Chen shot a non-existent arrow with a non-existent bow.

The sound of the bowstring whistling across their ears took away some of the sea breeze beside them, and Gong Chen didn't see if he had been shot, but silently took the stick apart and put it in his pocket and said, "Are you ready for an evacuation plan?" ”

"Wait, did you really shoot?" Yu Siqi looked at Bamon, who was still exercising, and said, "Where did you practice archery!" ”

"I've been in the archery hobby group on the seventh floor of the Jinhui Building for a few months, so I guess I've learned something." Gong Chen patted Yu Siqi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, that guy is dead." ”

As Bamun approached the last reef they were standing on, its grayish-white belly was pierced with a deep hole. Heart-rending screams filled the entire sea, and the crab, which had been menacing, suddenly stopped all its movements as if it had lost power, black blood gushed out of the hole in its abdomen, and the last reef fell as the sea level rose again.

Soon, the huge crab sank into the sea as if it had been pulled by something. However, at the last moment, it still used its last strength to shout out its thoughts: "Bamon... No... willingly..."

"Is that guy dead?" Yu Siqi looked at the sea water that gradually reached his knees, tried to maintain his balance and asked, "What should we do now?" ”

"Swim back," said Father Ann, plunging headlong into the sea, swimming like a swift swimmer towards the entrance.
