Chapter 002: The Mermaid Awakens (2)
How do you get afloat?
She stared at her tail fin for a long time, and suddenly, as if determined to something, straightened up and went upstream!
The chain snapped straight and held her tightly, but she didn't care, and swung her tail fin as hard as she could, as if she were going to break it alive. Blood poured out of the wound at once, staining the sea around her, and she shivered in pain, but she still struggled like a dying fish, once, twice...... One hundred, two hundred......
She didn't know how many times she had struggled, her long hair scattered and her scales flew out.
The wound on the caudal fin gradually turned from severe pain to numbness, and soon became severe again due to the appearance of a new wound.
Her eyes were black for a while, and her mouth was fishy for a while, tearing, and tugging......
Unconsciously, exhausted.
She swung smaller and smaller, and slowly, slowly stopped.
With her limbs bowed and her head bowed, she remained in such a half-unconscious posture for a long time, until the chains that swung with the deep sea currents rubbed against the wound again and again, and the sharp pain awakened her. She was groggy and in a trance, and with only a little residual survival instinct to accumulate new strength, she didn't know how long it took, she raised her head again in the dark scarlet waters, and rushed upwards!
Blood foam and minced flesh scattered and exploded.
The chains stretched to the limit, and then dragged her off under the reaction force.
She didn't care about her injuries, she tirelessly rushed upwards again and again, in pain until she passed out, woke up, and rushed again! Pass out again, wake up again, and rush again! ……
The sea was getting more and more turbid, and the bloody gas was thick and viscous.
The pain sliced through her flesh, ripped at her bones, and devoured her mind.
But she didn't give up no matter what, her heart was full of only one thought, rush!
Finally—
With a sharp scream, the entire deep sea trembled.
The chain that held her shattered, causing her to pull her tail fin out at once, bringing up a large cloud of crimson blood.
-- "Congratulations to the player Su Xi for passing the test of life and death, activating the talent skill [Deep Sea Submersion] with a strong will to survive, the activation cost of this skill is 0, and each subsequent use will cost 20 points of mental power......"
In the depths of his mind, the mysterious voice suddenly announced.
But Su Xi didn't have time to listen at all now, she dragged her broken tail fin, and flipped several times in the dark scarlet water, barely able to maintain her balance. Finally, she barely managed to control herself from sinking.
Still, it didn't last long.
She could feel her life force running away, her blood loss increasing, and her body temperature becoming as cold as the sea.
She mustered her spirits, took her last breath, and swam staggering towards the sea.
