The long sword in the mermaid's hand was a crystal clear red, and when the tip of the sword stabbed the boundary monument, there was no earth-shattering scene as imagined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The boulder didn't even shake for a moment, and turned into powder silently.

"Wow!"

Shen Luotian looked at the black powder floating in the sky, spread his arms and shouted excitedly at the ghost king: "Look, I'm not dead!" ”

"Of course I know you're not dead."

The Ghost King had just blocked a sword for him, and when he heard this, he really had the idea of "just kill him".

Calm down, it doesn't do any good to kill him......

The Ghost King sighed and put away the long sword in his hand.

Half of his sleeves had turned to ashes, and his exposed arms were jet black, as if something was constantly eroding his body.

That thing was supposed to be hanging on Shen Luotian's body and swallowing the person directly, but he used some means to block it, sealed it on his arm, and struggled to fight against the huge power accumulated in his body for many years.

Then again, this thing is still ...... It really ~ ~ hurts!

He glanced down at the black marks that had begun to fade, and gritted his teeth to hold back the painful cry that had rushed to his lips.

The vicious spell hidden in his arm is in its final dying throes, and if you survive it, it will disappear completely.

"Something is wrong."

Shen Luotian stretched out his hand to the top of his head, and caught a handful of gravel powder in a moment: "Is it my mistake or what's going on?" Is the boundary monument so brittle? ”

The Ghost King shook his head.

Of course, the boundary monument could not be so brittle.

The mermaid who smashed the boundary monument with a sword was floating in the water with a sluggish face, looking up at the powder falling from the sky at any time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey!"

He yelled at the merfolk, "Don't look at it, that thing isn't in there anymore." ”

The transparent sword slipped from his hand, making a small splash as it fell into the water. She stared down at her empty hands, as if surprised that she had survived.

After a few moments, the beauty suddenly buried her face in her hands, trembled her shoulders and began to cry.

"Someone took that thing from the boundary marker, just now."

The ghost king hooked his finger at Shen Luotian, and then pointed to the dust that kept falling in the sky.

Shen Luotian comprehended and held up the umbrella, covering the small square sky above the two of them.

"That's why she's crying?"

The mermaid's cry was not loud, but it could be heard far away in the sound of huge waves.

However, it doesn't sound good.

The mermaid who had his tongue gouged out couldn't make much of a nice sound. Her hysterical crying made Shen Luotian very irritable when she heard it, and she just wanted to find something to plug her mouth so that she would never speak again.

"She used to have a nice voice."

I don't know if I was explaining to others or convincing myself, the ghost king whispered to himself: "When she floats on the surface of the sea and sings, the fish that pass by will stop to listen to her sing." ”

"It sounds like the beginning of some fairy tale, and then the little ~ mermaid becomes mute for the man she loves...... Hans Christian Andersen? ”

"What's that?"

"Nothing, don't care about these details."

Shen Luotian looked up at the red light that was constantly circling on the umbrella surface, and said casually: "You go on...... She used to have a nice voice, but what happened to her? ”

"The race of the sea participated in the war on land, and after losing, they were afraid of causing disaster, so they gave her to the witch king of the time as a gift."

As a result, she had a heart, disobeyed, and her tongue was pulled out. You killed the former Witch King in a fit of rage? ”

Shen Luotian sighed, patted the Ghost King's shoulder, and said earnestly, "It's not me saying you, brother!" Just for a woman, are you worth it? ”

The dark green butterfly landed on his umbrella hand, flapping its wings constantly, as if in agreement with this sentence.

As the butterfly's wings swayed, the unpredictable phosphorescent light on the wings took on a dreamlike color. The round pattern is like a pair of real eyes at this time, with a little resentment, looking at the depressed man next to him with affection.

"Do you think you'd do such a stupid thing yourself?"

The Ghost King's tone did not fluctuate, and his indifferent face was full of contempt: "You always think that my IQ is so low, you are actually scolding yourself, do you know?" ”

"I know now."

Shen Luo sincerely admitted his mistake: "Please forgive me for my nonsense, how could such a wise and martial person like you do such a stupid thing?" ”

"That's pretty much it."

The Ghost King nodded in satisfaction, and simply sat down cross-legged—floating on the water.

"The merman's voice can confuse people's minds, no matter how good her singing is, she can't keep it. Before she was sent to the Witch King, her throat was ruined...... I heard that it seems to have been stuffed with a piece of red-hot iron? ”

He recalled for a moment, but still shook his head: "I wasn't there at the time, and I don't know what happened to her?" ”

"Wait...... Don't you like her? ”

The umbrella in Shen Luotian's hand shook gently with his movements, sprinkling a piece of dust covering the top of the umbrella.

"It's okay, I like it a little, what's wrong?"

The ghost king asked rhetorically, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on him: "Do you think I will avenge her?" ”

"I don't think so anymore."

Because I already know what kind of bastard you are.

A man and a ghost sit cross-legged on the water face to face, completely ignoring the presence of gravity.

"Now that I think about it, I wish I had helped her get revenge."

The ghost king sighed melancholy and put his hand on his forehead: "Woman! What a hassle! Be gentle, let her people say that you are not promising, and if you are really promising, and say that we are too different, forget it; You say you don't want to like her, and if you ignore her, she gets angry again; persuade her not to do stupid things, she said that you can't control it, and blame you for ignoring her if something happens; Ask her if she wants to help, she said that she doesn't need your fake mercy, she really doesn't care about her, she turns her head and mixes with your enemy to do it~ You ......"

"Just grab it home and lock it up."

Shen Luotian summed up expressionlessly: "You are really a waste." ”

"Yes, yes, I'm a piece of shit. I knew that it was so troublesome, so I simply ignored her, and I had nothing to do to see the sea. ”

The sound of the fish's tail lapping on the water came from the side, and the two pairs of eyes looked at the mermaid swimming towards them.

The butterfly perched on the umbrella shook its wings.

"You see, she said she was going to die with the corpse in her arms. Now that the corpse is gone, I probably think that the living can make do with it. ”

The ghost king laughed teasingly: "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, I've worked hard for you." ”

"No, please be sure to carry this black cauldron well."

Shen Luotian clutched his chest, looking deeply injured: "I'm not interested in Sanyuan. ”

The merfolk circled the two of them twice before finally coming together. She sank half of her body into the water, her silver tail gently beating the water, and she raised her head and said something silently.

"What is she talking about?"

Shen Luotian squinted his eyes and recognized the shape of her mouth for a while, and finally determined that it was not any language he knew.

It's not the kind of language I don't know but understand.

"She's ...... Sing. ”

The Ghost King reluctantly reached forward and wanted to touch her hair.

The mermaid retracted suddenly, and the viper around her neck instantly tightened its body, "hissing" and spitting bright red letters, staring vigilantly at the close hand, making a threatening gesture.

The mermaid opened her mouth and reached out to grab ~ the poisonous snake on her neck, with a painful look in her eyes.

The serpent's sharp fangs were staring at her blue eyes, so close that they could wipe her long eyelashes from time to time.

"Hmm......"

Shen Luotian touched his chin thoughtfully.

"That guy sent to spy on you?"

The ghost king's words were questions, but his tone was very firm.

The mermaid did not dare to act rashly, maintained a stiff posture with her upper body straight, and flapped the water with her tail flicking.

"Oh."

The Ghost King nodded in a sudden realization, and turned his head to explain to the confused humans beside him: "The boundary monument can block the living and the dead, so that guy found a monster that was neither alive nor dead, and took away the things hidden in the boundary monument. She wanted to take us to find it, but when she found it, she was going to take it with her. ”

The mermaid glared in surprise and eagerly opened her mouth to try to refute, but finally gave up because of the poisonous snake around her neck.

"It doesn't matter, I'm curious how you communicate."

Shen Luotian's gaze turned twice between the mermaid and the ghost king: "She's ...... Is it something similar to sign language? Flick your tail and you'll understand? ”

"Of course not. She didn't want to say that, I went in and saw it myself. ”

The Ghost King winked at him and smiled triumphantly, "You know what I mean. ”

I understand, I certainly understand, and I do this kind of thing a lot.

By the way, your behavior is considered to be snooping on other people's privacy, which is illegal in a sense. Although I didn't know if mermaids were protected by the law.

"Shall we promise her?"

If I'm not mistaken, that thing in the boundary monument...... It seems to be the corpse of my previous life?

Thinking of this, Shen Luotian's eyes as he looked at the mermaid were immediately filled with horror.

If you want to take the corpse away, what kind of heavy play do you want to play with this beauty!

"Of course not. The road is to be brought, and things cannot be given to her. ”

The ghost king confidently showed his scumbag temperament of "I'm just so shameless, I don't miss the old feelings, and I don't even want to coax you".

The mermaid suddenly turned around angrily and was about to swim away.

"Oh, hey, don't go! I think we can discuss it......"

As soon as the Ghost King raised his hand, the black blade rested on her neck.

"Or else. I'll give this guy to you to play with, they all look the same anyway. ”

The ghost king pointed to Shen Luotian beside him, and shook the long sword in his hand with a smile, and the sharp blade rubbed back and forth on the mermaid's snow-white neck, drawing a blood mark of money owed.

"And he's still a weak chicken, he can't beat you."

The cold sword had a murderous aura on its body, and the startled mermaid couldn't help but tremble.

Even the viper around her neck erected its dense scales, its slender pupils shrunk into a slit.

"Hey! Have you asked me for my opinion? ”

Shen Luotian raised his hand in protest: "Don't promise this beauty, I won't agree if I do." ”

"Do you think you have what it takes to say no?"

"Absolutely."

"Oh?"

The Ghost King raised his eyebrows with interest: "Where did you get your confidence?" ”

"Forget about the others. If I deal with you, I still have this confidence. ”

Shen Luotian slowly put away the umbrella, raised his hand and held a sword flower, and the tip of the sword was aimed at the dangerous person in front of him who was exactly the same as himself: "Do you want to try it?" ”

The green butterfly fluttered its wings and flew into the air in surprise by his action, circled for a moment and then slowly fell, stopping between the two of them, trembling up and down its body.

Ignoring the fangs that stopped in front of her, the mermaid flicked its tail vigorously and made a splash.

Water droplets fell from the top of their heads, turning into a thin ice in mid-air, blocking between them.

"You see, I knew she was reluctant."

Shen Luotian quickly withdrew his sword, and raised his chin proudly at the mermaid: "Lead the way, beauty." ”

********************************************

He Zhan was carried by the giant python, floating and sinking in the cold and biting water for a long time, and finally came to an extremely dark and cold space.

"What is this place?"

He shivered with coldness, and the silent space echoed with the small sound of his two rows of teeth colliding against each other.

The giant python under him was also shivering uncontrollably, not knowing whether it was cold or scared.

There were dense ice particles floating in the cold water, and he only stayed for a moment before he felt tiny ice slag hanging from the stubble around his mouth.

This place is too quiet, and the silence is a little frightening.

There seemed to be something very dangerous in the darkness, and even through the deep icy water, the threat of that thing was still clear.

It didn't even deliberately target anyone, but the simple, unconscious display of its power was enough to make all creatures that entered this space tremble.

"The person you asked me to kill is down here?"

As soon as these words came out, he regretted it and secretly scolded "pig brain".

"I'm stupid to ask a brute."

The head of the snake next to him slowly poked out ~ the surface of the water, and a pair of eyes flashed with a cunning light. His eyes don't look like a snake, but a bit like a flamboyant, opportunistic middle-aged man.

It nodded at He Zhan, opened its mouth and bit his collar, and lowered its head fiercely, pressing him under the icy water.

He Zhan didn't expect that this beast could really understand human speech, and he could also hear that his tone was not good.

I didn't expect it to retaliate.

He choked on a few mouthfuls of water and struggled hard to get back to the surface. But the giant python on his head was extremely strong, and he still refused to relax after pressing him into the water. It wasn't until the strength of his struggle wore off that he was lifted back to the surface and the collar in his mouth loosened.

Cold water with ice ballast poured into the nose and cut through the delicate nasal cavity. Descend the trachea, cool all the way to the lungs, and completely dispel the little heat in the body.

Strangely, he didn't feel suffocated, and even his breathlessness wasn't obvious.

Some only soak into the bone marrow of the cold. Tiny ice ballasts kept cutting through his skin, as if even his blood could freeze together.

After returning to the water, he swung his knife and smashed it on the python's head without thinking.

Although the python was large, its movements were quite flexible, and it dodged the knife with a tilt of its head, and once again pressed him into the water, drowning his heart cold.

After a few times, he finally realized the difference in strength between himself and the strange beast in front of him.

"Alright, alright."

He raised his hands and looked up at the serpent's shining eyes: "If you win, I'll surrender." ”

Ju ~ Bang lowered his head, with a hint of scrutiny in his cold gaze, and only nodded his head for a while.

Damn, what a beast is angry, sooner or later one day Lao Tzu will chop you up and stew.

He Zhan cursed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, but patted the smooth scales on the python's neck very attentively: "Dare to ask, this ...... Snake Daxian, are you cold? ”

The python was touched by him and shook from head to tail, flicking its tail and pulling him out fiercely.

He floated in the water for a while before he came back to his senses.

There was a sharp pain in the abdomen that was pumped by the snake's tail, and his internal organs turned over~ stirring to break through his throat and leave his body.

Damn, dead worms! You think you're something, and you're going to have to get if you give you a good look!

He clutched his stomach, clenched the knife in his hand, and once again made up his mind to break the beast into pieces.

A trace of contempt flashed in the giant python's eyes, and Shi Shiran swam past him with his tail swinging.

The cold, smooth scales clinged to his arm, with the slippery and soft nature of a reptile, which made people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs.

It swam some distance, then suddenly turned its head again, and raised its chin condescendingly at He Zhan, as if urging him to hurry up.

He Zhan had no choice but to curse in his heart that the final destination of this beast would be his own soup pot sooner or later, while waving his almost frozen hands with difficulty, and following it to swim into the depths of darkness.
