Chapter 18: The Merman

Li Luant was angry, "The reason why these puppets didn't rush in now is not because of the fear of your force, but because this village has obviously been dealt with by those mutant mermen, and the dead can't come in and hurt their children, if you drop these eggs to death, then those mermaids will go crazy, regardless of it, we are embattled, do you think the end will be much better than these eggs that go to the Nai He Bridge first?" โ€

These words were loud and loud, like morning bells and dusk drums, and instantly lifted Tumen's spirit, and Tumen also stared at the mole with angry eyes, as if to say that as long as he dared to do it, he would die.

It was difficult for the mole to ride the tiger now, so he had to obediently put the egg back in its place.

Strange to say, when the mole picked up the egg and moved, those puppets were really like crazy, no matter what obstruction, they were bound to rush in with their heads broken and bloody, and when the mole put down the eggs, those puppets suddenly became quiet, as if someone was blowing a requiem behind them.

Everything was as I had guessed.

Tu Men saw that this was the case, and couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, the little brother is as wise as a torch, but now the bigger problem, we have everything ready, the water source is also ready, even if there is no food to go out, it will not be in the way for four or five days, but now we can't get out, then Fan Li Jinzang seems to be about to fall into the hands of Song Zhao." โ€

Of course, Li Luant knew that this slaughter gate was now a cat crying mouse fake mercy, but he also cooperated with the play, "Senior, don't panic, let's explore the house near here first, I have already thought of a way to get out, but the problem is that we don't know how far the road ahead is, so we have to find something similar to an oxygen tank, otherwise we will not tear apart those things, and we will suffocate to death first." โ€

Hearing Li Luant say that he had a way, Tu Men was overjoyed, and said to the mole, "Since the little brother has spoken, let's disperse and look for each other, what are the containers that can hold oxygen, find a few more, and be prepared." โ€

Li Luant smiled and nodded, and the two went out happily.

Luan Jingjing was a little angry, "They obviously have bad intentions, do you still help them?" โ€

"To help them is to help yourself, you think I don't know anything? That Tumen is obviously a person with Song Promotion, but that Song Promotions can disguise more than him, but he is impatient and eager for quick success, even if we really help him to Fan Li Jinzang, he will achieve what he wants, and the first one to kill is us. โ€

"Then you-"

"But, first, I don't know where Fan Lijin is hidden." Li Luant smiled slightly, his smile was full of cunning, "So at this point, I am first using his power to help us escape, second, now those puppets outside are besieging, if there are only the two of us, we will never be able to escape, his double knife skills are so powerful, I am now a living map, he must protect me, this Fan Li Jinzang terrain is so complicated, have we ever thought that there is a village embedded in the water when we came in?" So once we go out, let's find an excuse and dump him, the world is big, how can he find us? โ€

Luan Jingjing sighed, "I was worried that you were being used just now, but I didn't expect you to have already planned, since you have planned it all, then I will rest assured, but you are too bad, everything is calculated, don't say it in my heart, but let me worry so much about you, if it is a gold ingot, I am afraid that you have already shouted for you to catch a turtle and stew soup for him." โ€

Speaking of gold ingots, the two of them thought of the imposters who were still lurking in the team, and they didn't know what happened to them now, and they were immediately lonely again.

Suddenly, Tu Men and Mole pushed the door happily, holding a few pairs of bloody organs in their hands, and said proudly, "Little brother, you said you want to find something that can hold oxygen, is this okay?" โ€

Seeing the human organ that seemed to have been peeled off from a human body just now, Li Luant and Luan Jingjing's eyebrows suddenly twisted up, "This, yes, yes, but where did you get it?" โ€

But the organ in front of him was none other than four fresh lobes of a lung, dripping with blood, as if they had just been ripped from a living person.

Tu Men said, "I can't deal with those puppets when they rush up, but alone, my double knives are not practiced in vain, catch four, chop four hanging, can this be used as an oxygen tank?" โ€

Li Luant wiped his sweat: "This is the best." โ€

It's vicious enough.

But after sucking a mouthful of blood, it was really difficult to enter, Li Green Ant still washed in the seawater, simply poured it several times, and finally made sure that there were no impurities, so he blew and pierced its mouth with a hole. Luan Jingjing followed suit.

One breath can make a normal person hold it for three minutes, and the limit can reach four or five minutes, and there are at least a dozen breaths in this stomach and lungs, and it is not a problem to hold it for half an hour.

I have to say that there is no oxygen tank here, and there is nothing better than this belly and lungs, thanks to Tumen, but Li Luant kept this help in his heart, and treated this person more fiercely, but he paid more attention to it in his heart.

Li Luant took the initiative to pick up an egg, shook off a piece of cloth, deliberately did not wrap it very tightly, and carefully tied it around his waist. Could it be? โ€

"That's right, since those puppets received an order to protect these eggs, they will inevitably protect them, and they dare not hurt them, and we take these eggs with us, just like a fox and a fake tiger, and we can also use this to escape, they don't dare to be presumptuous."

Tu Men laughed, "That's a good idea. โ€

Tu Men was obviously more greedy, and brought a few more eggs, Luan Jingjing's original intention was to take as much as possible, but in the end, Li Luant held down her hand and shook her head meaningfully, Luan Jingjing understood that like Li Luant, she only took one of the smallest eggs.

The final result was that Tu Men took the six largest eggs, tied them around the waistband of his trousers and fastened them firmly, and the mole took four, while Li Luant and Luan Jingjing each took a small egg, which looked very shabby. Tumen is now in a good mood because he can go out, and he can't help but laugh, "Little brother, if you really have a thief's heart and no thief's guts, do our business, what you want is to be a master of art and be bold, you are now taking advantage of this to escape and cower, but those puppet rat traps, if you fall an egg, then you are not dead?" This girl is also stupid, so let's take a few more. โ€

Luan Jingjing also had this intention, because in this case, it is obvious that the more you take, the better, what Tu Men said is reasonable, the more rat traps, the more important they are, the more people will be afraid of you, you are sneaky, cringe, and don't dare to be extravagant, if the egg falls or breaks, you can make up for it with more, otherwise how can it be good?

But Li Luant always just smiled and didn't argue, which made him more and more timid and cowardly, although Luan Jingjing was strange, but thinking that every step of Li Luant's actions had his reasons, he immediately kept silent.

Before going out, Li Luant deliberately looked at the other eggs, and sighed: No wonder I felt strange before, this huge mausoleum, there is not a single lantern, it turns out that there is not nothing, but too much, and because this merman is the largest mausoleum guardian here, if they burn their anointing oil to make a lantern, it will provoke the anger of the group, I am afraid that Fan Li is also worried about being exhumed after his death, just like Wu Zixu at the beginning.

Tu Men laughed for a while, and felt that it was almost over, and the group stood in front of the stockade, although the puppet had not yet been seen here, but they must have hid in the darkness after the commotion just now, as it has always been, as long as they paddle out with one foot, they will immediately come to chase and kill.

These things swim much faster than humans, and if they can't find a way out for a while, if they wander around here, they will obviously be torn to pieces.

According to Tumen, they left from the waterhole on the upper left, while Li Luant and Luan Jingjing came straight from the opposite side, behind which was the mountain of the village, and the only place left that had not been explored was the pitch-black sea water on the right.

Okay, this time I'll use that as a breakthrough and get out of there!

Li Luant made a simple exchange with the three of them, took a big breath, and immediately started to act.

Sure enough, when the four of them stepped out of the stockade on their front feet, countless puppets looming in the darkness from the back feet were ready to follow, but strangely, they did not chase and fight as hard as before, but followed far behind, as if they were afraid of something.

Tu Men's face was overjoyed when he saw this: It worked, the method of throwing a rat bogey device worked!

Li Luant quickly beckoned Luan Jingjing to swim with him, and Tu Men and Mole were very proud for a while because they saw that this method worked, and they also swam towards Li Luan.

There is endless darkness ahead, Li Luant used a rope to wrap the flashlight around his head when he came out before, because the water can't bite the flashlight in his mouth to illuminate it like on the shore, and if he holds it in his hand, because one hand has already held his stomach and lungs ready to ventilate at any time, and although he can also hold a flashlight in the other hand, the speed of the stroke will definitely slow down, in order to get rid of this predicament as quickly as possible, it is natural to consider the maximum efficiency of the action.

The puppets behind him maintained an unhurried speed, as if they were watching them, looking for an opportunity to take the eggs back, and the mole was very proud, and Tumen lost his arrogance because of the black oppressive things, and he also despised them a little.

Everything was carried out in an orderly manner, but suddenly a sudden mutation protruded, the original ruffle was trembling, but because of the egg, so the puppets behind did not dare to be presumptuous, they did not dare to be presumptuous, the mole took the lead in being presumptuous, he was a brainless minion, at this time suddenly in the water is not in a hurry, and even sometimes deliberately stays for a while, to tease the puppets behind, but those puppets seem to have received a death order, and have not dared to move.

Thousands of puppets are quietly watching you pretending to be forced, I have to say that it still challenges the limits of human fear, but at this moment, the four eggs carried by the mole, one of which suddenly fell off from the waist because it was not tied tightly.

The two people swimming in front didn't know about it, but Tu Men was the first to find out, but when he saw that Tu Men hated iron and steel, he glared at the mole, and the mole knew that he was in trouble, but he didn't care, because he still had three eggs.

The egg that fell into the water, like a white chess piece at the bottom of the sea, disappeared in an instant, just when the mole thought it was okay, and those puppets did not move, suddenly from the depths of the water a creature covered with black scales all over its body, but its facial features were also densely covered with fine scales, and there were fish fins on the top of its head and elbows.

This creature doesn't look like the puppets, but if anything, it seems to be closer to a real fish.

The mole didn't see what it was at this time, but Li Luant inadvertently turned his head to look, and his eyes widened:, this thing appeared in his dream before, it turned out to be this?!

Run, run! This is the real mutant merman, very ruthless, those puppets are all ordered by him, run!

But he couldn't speak in the water, Li Luant waved his arms desperately, and only drew a few water marks in the water, and in desperation, he had to drag Luan Jingjing to go first: he didn't have such noble revolutionary sentiments, and he sacrificed himself to save him when he knew that the two of them would kill him, and his life was difficult to protect.

The merman held the egg as a treasure, and gently caressed it, but saw that there were still three eggs hanging from the waist of the frightened mole, and at this moment he was so close to this human creature, he could deeply feel the greed and desire of this human being.

But seeing that the merman took out the conch horn and suddenly blew it at the group of puppets, for a moment the originally calm corpse group suddenly became restless, and the conch horn contained the merman's command, which was conveyed through the water lines, and countless puppets suddenly had hideous eyes and stared at the four people in front of them.

It's terrible, it's terrible, it's going to die, and now the rat trap doesn't work.

The mole was stupid, and he didn't even have time to take the belly and lungs in his hand, he desperately turned around and ran, Tu Men had already seen that the situation was not good and slipped away first, Tu Men grabbed Tu Men's thighs, Tu Men looked back hatefully, the corpses behind him were extremely large, and this scab was obviously counting on himself to use his double knife skills to save him.

But only a few dozen can still be saved, how can hundreds or thousands be saved? He can't protect himself now, this thing was originally good, but it was all caused by this mole himself.

Thinking of this, Tu Men's eyes were horizontal: This is your own death, no wonder others!

Tu Men's feet kicked hard, kicking the mole that had been pinning his hopes on him eight feet away, and landed right on the army of puppets rushing in front of him, those puppets stayed at the rabbit at first glance, only to tear the painful mole to pieces in an instant, as for the egg on the waist of the mole, it had already been given to the merman who led the army, like a military advisor.

Sure enough, it was this merman who had been blowing the conch horn behind his back just now, and guiding the corpses to be restless.

This merman who appeared in his dream was exactly the same as he imagined.

Li Luant turned around and saw the scene of the slaughter gate kicking the mole open, Tu Men beckoned, as if asking Li Green Ant who was swimming in front to wait for him, but the corpse puppets behind him were only a dozen breaths away from catching up, although the slaughter gate made the two equal, but the distance was very far, and he looked at the two people swimming in front of him, flashing with uncertain light, the ghost knew his intentions.

Li Luant and Luan Jingjing quickly left him behind and swam straight forward.

Damn it!

Li Luant threw away the eggs on his waist while swimming, and motioned to Luan Jingjing to do the same, although Luan Jingjing was puzzled, she still did so.

At this time, the corpse puppets behind have already chased after them, and it is useless for this egg to stay here.

Now the two of them are swimming the fastest, the distance between them and the corpse group is the farthest, and the front is still dark, but the space is suddenly narrow, and Li Luant feels that success and failure are in a thought, so he began to accelerate.

Tu Men in the rear saw that Li Green Ant and Luan Jingjing were originally good, why they suddenly lost the amulet, it was really strange, but at this time, the corpse group that was originally separated by a distance suddenly went crazy, as if it was because the prey was about to escape, so they hurriedly chased each other, but the target of those corpses was only one Tu Men, and Luan Jingjing and Li Green Ant both let go.

Tumen was shocked: how could it be possible, why was this happening?

Just when the corpses were only within reach, Tumen's eyes lit up, looking at the two figures that disappeared from sight, and suddenly realized: Okay, good, so it is, so it is, so it is, I caught geese all day long, and today I was finally pecked by the geese, okay, I have always been the only one who slaughtered the door to calculate others, how can others calculate me? You actually deliberately showed weakness to achieve such an unknown purpose, I slaughtered the door for a while, and I actually have to pay for it with my life today?

Tumen hurriedly untied the cloth bag around his waist and threw all the eggs away, but it was too late by this time. The corpses wrapped it all, countless pairs of eyes looked at him, only ferocious and tyrannical, there was no way out of Tumen, there was no way forward, only a dead end.

Picking up the chain of double knives, Tu Men laughed in his heart: Okay, okay, Li Green Ant is ruthless, Lao Tzu died here today, and it is also an unpleasant cycle of karma. Look at those things: Do you want to eat Lao Tzu? Then come on, see if I'm honest and old, you guys!

The twin knives flew over, and countless heads fell to the bottom of the sea like cutting leeks, but the slaughter door that left the double knife was the most vulnerable, when the double knife left the body, countless corpse puppets bit his flesh from all directions, although the double knife was still harvesting lives, but it was also harvesting the lives of the dead, and Tumen himself became a dead corpse at the bottom of the sea.

Li Luant and Luan Jingjing shuttled under the water, and there was not much air left in their stomachs and lungs, but because Tu Men dragged the corpses behind for a while, their danger was reduced a lot. Seeing the two walls that suddenly stood in a forest, Li Luant knew in his heart that a building was about to appear in front of him.

Sure enough, a big wall that looked like a strange mountain blocked the way, Li Luant was about to beckon Luan Jingjing to go up together, but out of nowhere came a whirlpool, the two people who rolled straight up dizzy, Li Luant took the lead in relieving himself, but found that Luan Jingjing was gone, and he was about to find it in a hurry, but the bottom of the sea was pitch black, and this was the way out, Luan Jingjing was like a drop of water thrown into the sea.

What to do? What to do?

Li Luant was anxious, but at this time, Luan Jingjing smiled and mysteriously came up from under Li Luant's feet, and waved her arms, as if to greet him.

Li Luant twisted his eyebrows, and made a few gestures angrily, Luan Jingjing apologized, Li Luant couldn't, so he had to take Luan Jingjing's hand and go ashore.

"Poofโ€”"

Li Luant spit out a mouthful of seawater, twisted the clothes on his body, shook his hair, and said to Luan Jingjing, "Why are you nothing?" โ€

Luan Jingjing was gentle, "That's why the woman said that it was tender like water." โ€

Is this the new bad joke?

Li Luant was speechless, "I know what you wanted to ask before, you want to ask, why did that Tumen and the mole bring so many eggs just in case, and we only brought so little, right?" โ€

Luan Jingjing was really a little surprised, "Oh? Why is that? โ€

"It's good to prepare more eggs in case of accidents, but just as the ancestors said, 'the tree moves the wind', 'the wood show will destroy it in the forest wind', the persimmon should be pinched softly, and the weakness should be held, but if you take so much of the weakness of others, you will inevitably become the key target, and then you will inevitably become the key target of those puppets. If you throw too many things, the rabbit will bite people in a hurry, not to mention that the mermaid clan is an extremely fierce and fierce creature, maybe they will attach importance to their children and grandchildren, but if you must die in the net, I am afraid that with the personality of their clan, you will become the target of the public. โ€

After hearing this, a few dim lights flashed in Luan Jingjing's eyes, and she seemed to answer and said, "Yes." โ€

Li Luant sorted it out and found that it was almost okay, and the things in the equipment bag were not wet, but he looked at Luan Jingjing and said, "Why is your equipment bag missing?" โ€

"I accidentally lost it just now."

Li Luant helplessly, "Fortunately, I still have a lot left in the kettle, save some to drink." Helping Luan Jingjing up, I was afraid that she might be injured, but I didn't expect Luan Jingjing to lie in Li Luan's arms as soft as a boneless, Li Luan frowned very strangely, but still helped her to prepare to leave here, who knew that when she turned her head, she was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.

But seeing that the entrance is not an ordinary entrance, there are no carved buildings here, only a huge ghost head carved from a mountain, this ghost head has hollow eyes, as if the eyes are black, the nose is abrupt, the mouth and teeth are carved clearly, and the mouth has been open and wide, as if it is welcoming someone.

It's actually a ghost!

Luan Jingjing chuckled and looked up at Li Luant, "What's wrong?" โ€

Li Luant shook his head, "It's just a little scary at first glance, "Aren't you most afraid of this, why is there nothing at all now?" โ€

Luan Jingjing smiled slightly, "With you, I'm not afraid." โ€

This is very ambiguous, but now Li Luant's only mind is to escape, where can he still take care of the wind and snow implied in his words? took Luan Jingjing and walked inside. Luan Jingjing's eyebrows are clear, and after being drenched in water, she looks even more pitiful, incomparably charming, all of which Li Green Ant can't see now.
