Chapter 193: Scimitar Shark
It took a lot of effort to let the irrational Lothar know that the man who held him to the surface was not hostile, and even because of the witch-hunting knife on the Count's back, even if Kiri wanted to use magic to disarm him. On the other hand, Jaquia tried to separate Peg from the Count's body, but the witch's long hair bound her and Lothar together, and if she approached, she would get tangled around the helper's hands and feet. Thankfully, the active-minded Kiri quickly found a way to deal with it, saying something to the shell man on her shoulder, and asking the latter to pass the message to the Count through the crown of thorns. It's hard to imagine that Lothar, with a lot of perseverance and a complete loss of reason, could still swim out of the whirlpool with one person because of this sentence. But in fact, after Thorncrown passed the witch's words to Lothar, he stood like a war horse that had exhausted his physical strength, and fell into a deep sleep.
Together with Hela, who had arrived later, they lifted Lothar and Peg to the surface, and beyond the boundaries of the whirlpool, the sea was unusually calm, because all the water flowed silently towards the center under the plane, and had no intention of making white spray. "Poof!" Qili sighed as she removed the conch from her mouth and finally breathed fresh air again. She took the shell from Lothar's mouth again. Strange to say, since the Count had been persuaded by Kiri to stop resisting, he had stopped resisting all of the latter's actions, and although he was still conscious, the beast called Man had completely let his guard down against the witch.
Hela, who had taken a moment to find Peg's face in her hair and then the shell from her mouth, noticed it in surprise as she began to breathe. "What did you do? Why does he look like your puppet now? You remember we can't use spells here, right, otherwise everything just now would be meaningless. ”
Kiri rolled her eyes, thanks to the fact that she had undisguised herself in the dinghy before, otherwise Hela might have cramped and drowned in her unbelief from what she was seeing, "Isn't there a little bit of trust in me, our friendships and feelings, our shared memories, and God knows what other things we can use together, have you thrown them into the whirlpool! Am I the one in your eyes who can't even do such a little thing?"
In fact, you are such a person. Hela didn't dare to say this, or God knows how Kiri would react. However, it is not surprising that the Grave Girl has such thoughts, since she has known Qili, who has been weak in controlling her own actions, especially self-control. Qili is a person who is very loyal to her desires, and the desires here are not only physical, but also psychological, and when she hates someone, she will not hide it in the slightest, and the same is true when she likes someone. It's just that so far Hela hasn't seen a case where Kiri has been able to stick with what she likes for more than a year, and she's the kind of person who throws the bottle away after drinking its contents.
But looking at Kiri floating on the sea with the Count in her arms, Hela felt suspicious of what she had always thought. However, looking at Qili's angry appearance, even if she continued to ask what she had just done, presumably this companion who had always been eager to repay would not tell the truth. Besides, she was already very tired, so she could only tilt her head to express her apology.
As for how Qili calmed down Lothar, I'm afraid only she knows. In fact, this matter is not complicated, she only did one thing, and that is to make the shell people imitate the accent and tone of the networm and order Lothar to relax. As for the voice, after the shell man's relay, the voice is no longer important. The effect of this sentence was so strange that even Qili herself did not expect the Count to become as quiet as he is now. This made her feel a little unhappy from nowhere.
No one else could notice the subtle psychological changes in Kiri, especially Jaquia. The huntress nervously patrolled the area beneath the surface of the sea, fearing that the team's whereabouts would be discovered by the patrols of the hot waves. This wasn't an unwarranted concern, long before she made her way through the whirlpool to the Lost Heart Bay to pick up the witches, she had spotted the scorching Sirens patrolling the whirlpool's vicinity. As a result, she and Fioni had to choose a more dangerous waterway to cross the whirlpool, but even then, no one could be sure that the patrols didn't cover it.
"Don't delay any longer when you've breathed enough, we must get to the rendezvous with Fioni before dawn. When the sun rises, it will be much more difficult to move. ”
At the urging of the huntress, a few people who had just received some comfort in the air picked up the conch again. The short recuperation just now was enough to replenish the air in these magical power-ups. However, air can be replenished quickly, but it is difficult to recover from the physical strength expended, especially in the seawater, humans cannot eat and drink, which is not a problem that can be solved by conch alone. Fortunately, several of them had been refueled in the dinghy before, and although they were tired now, they were not yet at the point where they had to replenish their energy immediately.
The spray that had just surfaced on the surface of the sea immediately calmed down, and the few people who had re-tied the ropes to their wrists continued their movements. Late at night in the waters, whirlpools attract currents that are filled with a variety of small sea creatures, which in turn attract larger predators. If the most troublesome predator in this sea area, in addition to the former shark-toothed kraken, it is the overlord of this water, the shark. Scimitar sharks, to be exact.
These scimitar-like sharks with heads that unfold symmetrically with two handles spread out symmetrically are different from the species tamed by the shark-toothed tribes, and they are larger and more ferocious than their hunters' companions. In the legend of shark teeth, scimitar sharks are a species formed by the teeth that fall out of the shark's father's mouth, so they are born to kill, unlike ordinary sharks who only hunt for survival, these strange races with eyes under the scimitar on their heads regard killing as a more multi-functional thing. Scimitar sharks often kill other creatures without eating their carcasses. This made the hunters disgusted by their actions, so strong that even though they were both sons of the shark father, the shark-toothed hunters would fight the scimitar sharks while defending their hunting grounds.
Now, in the waters in front of the team, Jaquia noticed several blade-headed figures swimming. She gestured vigilantly and cautiously to the others, and then ordered her companions to ascend. Scimitar sharks have eyes at the lower end of their bizarre heads, so they can spot prey in the waters below, but they also let their guard down from above. After all, no animal in these waters dares to take the initiative to attack these murderous killers.
It's a good thing to have scimitar sharks in these waters, and even organized patrols in the hot waves don't stop near this group of murderous monsters. However, it was also a challenge for Jaquiya to lead four earthlings through a swarm of scimitar sharks, not because she was disgusted or fearful of them, but even a huntress had to admit that scimitar sharks had the sharpest sense of all the marine animals she had ever seen.
"What should we do?" Kiri's eyes allowed her to catch the shadows swimming haphazardly in the distance, she knew that this shark was the kind of shark that was dug into a waist-high bunker on the beach at the most official festival of the sea god in Heartless Bay, and a scimitar shark was placed in it. Then, they would select a warrior with a dagger made of shark's teeth and go down to the bunker to challenge the shark, and the winner would be glorified and the loser would be killed in the belly. So the witch used to be very fond of these creatures for a while, until she lost a lot of money in a shark and man gamble.
"From above, through. Be careful, but can't, be afraid. ”
