CH.157 Finding an Undersea Route
"Her sword skills have improved rapidly, but she is still at an upper-intermediate level at the waterfall; How did you become so strong all of a sudden! β
Lorraine stood on the shoulder of a demonic mecha, and clearly saw the moment Xia just swung his sword, with a shocked look on his face.
"Lorraine, why don't you go over and help? That little thing is just too vicious. β
Underneath the mech, Albernar ran over panting and looked up at him.
Since his school uniform had already been reimbursed, his head was now full of swollen bags, all of which had been beaten by that little thing that looked like a squirrel.
Without a protective shield, there is a lack of means to deal with small attacks during battle, and after a long time, it is as helpless as fighting naked.
"Let's go."
Lorraine jumped to the ground, drew his broadsword, and ran that way.
When he ran, his mood was a little heavy:
"Abner doesn't understand the horror of that sword at all, and Xia should no longer be under me in terms of sword skills; Coupled with the fact that my magic is just beginning, she is at least at the level of a great magician; If I had a serious fight with her now, I'm afraid it would have ended ......."
Looking at the silver-haired girl, his heart was mixed with strange feelings.
There is a hint of admiration, a sense of gratitude, and a little bit of unyielding.
Of course...... There is also a strong feeling of love hidden in the depths of my heart.
"Natsu, you gave me a chance to be reborn."
Feeling the flow of magic around her, Lorraine felt her chest burn:
"If I can regain the one qiΔ I lost in my childhood, I will definitely ...... you"
There was a resolute look in his eyes, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.
"Hey, Lorraine, are you a little faster?"
Albernar looked at the wind element that was faintly lingering around Lorraine, and he couldn't tell how surprised he was: "This is ...... Magic? When did you kid become a magician! β
"It's a little different from pure magic."
Lorraine looked at the distance with ease. Xia, who was resisting the attack, gradually calmed down, and replied to him in a loud voice:
"It's a footwork that uses magic to accelerate. It belongs to the skills of sword skills, and I have just learned. β
"Sword skills that use magical powers?"
Abner was amazed.
It was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
At this time, Xia was already about to walk to the side of the demonic beast. "Ding, ding, ding!" I saw that the squirrel-like demonic beast used all its strength to send out three fruit cores, which were easily bounced away by the sword in her hand, and when it went to the back of the tail to take them, it found that the fruit cores were gone.
"Chirp ββ!!"
Its fur stood up, jumped up from the ground, and got behind the little mermaid, shivering as it looked at the summer that was getting closer and closer.
"You're useless, isn't it, Fack!"
The little mermaid also panicked. Grabbed its tail with his hand and screamed.
"Don't swear!"
Xia's figure moved slightly, and instantly appeared in front of the little mermaid, and bent his fingers to tap her little head.
"Wow!"
The little mermaid clutched her head and screamed, hugging the monster.
The two little guys got together and looked at Xia in horror, how pitiful and pitiful that scene was.
"I ...... I'm not swearing! That's the language used to express anger in our hometown. β
The little mermaid said in a trembling voice.
Xia used the exquisite footwork in the secret sword technique, how could the little mermaid know? She didn't see how the other party approached her all of a sudden, and her heart was full of fear.
"Well, that's your fault."
Xia was a little speechless:
Farke is the national scolding of some countries on the planet, and she naturally thinks of swear words.
"What's your name?"
Natsu crouched down in front of her. He smiled at her and said:
"Don't worry, I won't eat you, and I'll help get you off the island. It's so dangerous here......"
"I don't need you to help me! I can go back on my own from underground, huh! β
Maybe it's because of Xia's amazing charm, this time it's daytime, and the little mermaid is not as scared as last time, seeing her gentle tone, she tugged it up, raised her chin and hugged her shoulder.
"Natsu, what's going on?"
Lorraine had already arrived here at this time, looking at the little mermaid and the monster:
"I remember that squirrel was the ...... in the magician's dwelling"
"Chirp!!"
The squirrel-like monster protested loudly. It seems to be shouting "I'm not a squirrel!" β
"It's nothing, because there were some misunderstandings before. We were hated by her. β
Xia thought of the crab, and his face was a little gloomy.
But she quickly adjusted her mindset. Looking at the little mermaid with a vigilant face, he said:
"But she should know by now that we're not bad people, and I want to talk to her and let her get out of here with us."
"I don't need your help!"
The little mermaid proudly patted the fishtail, revealing an expression of "you know too little".
I saw her pinching her waist and shouting to the side:
"Don't believe it, do you? Come out β Falk Squid! β
After a while, a pink squid emerged from a crack in the rock, and a puff of gas spewed out from behind its body, bouncing high on the ground and rushing to the mermaid's arm.
What rice?
Xia almost squirted out after hearing her sentence:
- Even if this is a coincidence, it will not happen to this one!
"I'll teach you a good one, see the guy in my hand? This is the most cunning and escaping squid in the ocean, the Fak squid! We all use its name to curse the street...... to describe the stupidity of the enemy and the cleverness of oneself! β
She said vividly to the Fark squid lying on her arm:
"Go, say hello to these people who haven't seen the sea world!"
"Zizi-"
The squid stretched out a tentacle and shook twice at the people in front of it, then looked at Natsu's chest, and its two round black eyes narrowed into a slit.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia always feels that this guy's gaze is a little squinting when he looks at him, especially those tentacles that are slowly squirming. The writhing posture and the forms that are entangled with each other make people feel evil no matter how you look at it.
"Hey. Who made your tentacles move! I'm itching on my hands, get me down. Falk Squid! β
The little mermaid threw it on the ground with a flick of her arm.
"Nourishing ......"
The pink squid immediately lost and covered its eyes with its tentacles.
"It's a sea creature, master."
Stephanie found an opportunity to watch XiΓ n, and hurriedly explained Xia Xi's confusion:
"It's very timid, and though it looks a little evil on the outside, it doesn't actually have the guts to touch other creatures; The little mermaid didn't know what it was about, but the squid was very scared. Even the hegemon of the ocean has a hard time making it work for itself. β
"Uh-huh."
Xia was still hating the black-clothed little Lori's undisciplined onlookers not long ago, and snorted twice in her nose.
"Black cat, hurry up and come over to me!"
In her mind's eye, she said to the black cat who had been driven back into the underground space:
"After the Mirror of Truth was removed, your ability to travel through time and space was restored, right? You have 5 seconds to get here, or you won't want my blood again!" β
"Master, this ability is very laborious......"
Three seconds later, the black cat appeared pitifully behind a rock.
It was very smart and knew that Xia didn't want to appear in front of others, so it found a hidden place to appear.
"I remember you were a demon. It seems that the demon will use a spell that can summon the souls of the dead? I want you to summon a very terrifying monster soul to the present world, and as the Seventy-Two Pillars Demon God, you can definitely do it. β
"Of course, master, this is the basic contract that most high-level demons will have. What's more, it's me...... Alas, it is better not to mention the events of that year. β
The black cat wagged his tail and said:
"But I need a liter of blood......"
"Oh? What if it's a very weak monster. β
Xia asked quietly:
"For example, if it's about the same level as that little mermaid, how much blood do you need?"
"Phew."
How shrewd the black cat was, he immediately knew that he had been fooled, and his mouth snorted.
But there was no way, its soul was in the hands of the other party, so it had to answer with a lack of interest:
"If it's that kind of chengdΓΉ, you can ...... without absorbing blood"
"Go there and bring back the soul of that big crab! It doesn't matter if you turn into a low-level demon. Anyway, let it move for me, just be able to talk. β
Xia Yi forgot about the crab and couldn't speak. Immediately gave an order to the black cat.
β¦β¦
"Wow! Floret-"
The little mermaid flew up from the ground and flew to the dead and resurrected big crab. He shouted with tears in his eyes.
"Gollum, Gollum."
The demon crab spat out bubbles, and happily gently clamped the little mermaid with the mended pliers and placed it on top of his head.
"Hey, what's wrong with the flowers on your head?"
The little mermaid looked at the little flower and asked strangely.
"You dead cat! Didn't you find a way to recover? How did you get a trumpet flower? Does that flower look like this? Yes? Your head is broken! β
Xia hatefully grabbed the black cat's ears and twisted it hard.
"Meow meow!"
The black cat screamed.
"Master, you can't blame me for this!"
The black cat said aggrievedly:
"That kind of white flower is only found in the ocean, and it usually grows at a very deep seabed, where can I find it now!"
"Master, it's not lying, that kind of white flower does grow in the trench below 3,000 meters, and the number is very rare."
Stephanie whispered to Natsu.
"Okay, you've got it."
Xia also felt that he was a little strong, and after thinking about it, he said to the black cat:
"Now that your lockdown is lifted, you can roam around this island as you please...... But remember, don't hurt humans, you know? β
Then she suddenly thought of the beautiful demon leader that Di Liya said, and added another sentence at the end:
"And female demons aren't allowed to harass them, you know?"
"Meow! Understood, master. β
When the black cat heard that he could come out and run around, he was overjoyed.
As for what female demons and humans, how many years has it lived, and what demons have not seen? What humans haven't eaten? Who cares about this little thing.
"Roar!"
The black cat, which had been temporarily freed, let out a tiger-like roar. Jumped into the air, tail spinning, like a propeller flying off into the distance!
"Meow hahahaha! Uncle, I'm finally back. There seems to be a lot more interesting things to be found here than just the boring necromancy...... Hey, there's a couple of little devils over there. Let's go find a few of my men first......"
The black cat glanced to the west, and found that there was a powerful demonic aura there, and quickly disappeared into the sky.
"You won't let the tiger go back to the mountain, will you?"
Looking at the black cat's tiger-like demeanor, Xia thought worriedly.
However, except for these students and beautiful demons on this island, they are all some monsters that are not worthy of pity, and it can do whatever it wants, and it is not a good thing on either side anyway.
Thinking of this, Xia walked over to the little mermaid who was happily playing with the crabs. Whispered to her:
"I'd like to ask you to do me a favor......"
β¦β¦
"Go, Falk Squid! Find me the widest route to the sea, and if you can't find it, you won't be allowed to eat! β
Next to the underground river, the little mermaid pointed to the front of the current and gave an order to the squid.
"Zizizi!"
The squid slapped a tentacle on its body, as if to say, "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" β
Then he jumped into the water with a "bang" and disappeared into the gloomy river.
"Master, it's so fast! And the level of stealth is even better than yours. β
Stephanie said as she looked in the direction it vanished.
"You know!"
Xia gave her a head and said unconvinced:
"When I get out of this island, I'll show you what a god-level assassin is! I think I was also a thief at level 200 at the beginning......"
"Summer. Can it really help us find the airship's route? β
Natya Vida walked up to Natsu's side and asked with a worried expression.
"Rest assured, it's a creature of the sea anyway. This kind of thing is definitely better than we do. β
Xia patted the back of her hand, then quietly pinched her hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, Agnes suddenly appeared behind the two of them, staring at their hands.
"No, no? I was just talking to her about the crystal...... You see, this is it. β
Xia secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and hurriedly took out the thing that Natya Vida was holding in his other hand, put it in the palm of his hand, and said.
"Oh? Is it. Let me see. β
Agnes wasn't allowed to give up, but she saw the crystal that glowed with a deep green glow. The eye was immediately captivated.
"Sister Xia, block the sight of others!"
After looking at it for a while. Agnes suddenly let out a trembling sound.
What's wrong?
Xia walked behind her in confusion and blocked the eyes of others with her body.
Agnes looked at the crystal in her hand with complicated eyes, and seemed to be caught in the memories of the past:
"When I was very young, I spent some time in a convent."
"At that time, I was locked in a dark room by the nun, and I had the opportunity to secretly learn magic only at night, so I crawled outside with my hands to find a green spar to illuminate in order to read the words in the magic book...... So I'm very familiar with this thing, and although the color and energy fluctuations have changed quite a bit, this is undoubtedly a waste crystal! β
Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Natya Vida with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"You're also an elemental mage...... Don't you know what it means that the spars that can be found everywhere in the kingdom can suddenly emit such powerful energy?"
"What does that mean?"
Seeing a very solemn look in her eyes, Xia couldn't help but stare at the crystal that emitted a ghostly light, but after looking at it for a long time, she didn't find anything, so she asked.
"This hedron is only found near Westminster."
It was not so unkind to her love Gnets, but she lowered her voice and said in an unusually sour tone:
"Now the continent is extremely complex, and due to the strong rise of the technological kingdom of Sadara, it has reached the point of completely ignoring the empire, and many people are ready to move; There is also an ambiguity between the Empire and the Order of Truiz. Ambiguous attitudes, countries with a keen sense of smell have gradually cut off their limited energy supplies. Coupled with the constant appearance of monsters encroaching on a large number of magic crystal mines and energy drills, the current energy shortage on the continent has reached an extremely dangerous situation. β
She slowly raised her head, looked at the top of the dim cavern, and said:
"Once this spar appears in the field of vision of various countries...... It will completely change the existing pattern, and even if it is not impossible to start a war that will engulf the entire continent! (To be continued) R655
