Kamiyagawa had not experienced the red tide of the sea country before.

Now that this kind of disaster has struck, he can deepen his understanding to some extent, which should help to solve the red tide in the future.

It's just that the red tide came at a bad time, and it happened to break out on the night of the moon and the country director of Haiguo, and the residents of Xiedao were very panicked.

In the midst of the chaos, several giant warrior crabs scurried sideways through the jungle outside.

One of the urns said something to the crab in a loud voice.

"Crab-sama, mermaids...... The merfolk came with Red Tide. ”

Kamiyagawa had previously speculated that the mermaid side would attack Otsushima again before the lord of the country was established.

This is also the reason why he has been reluctant to stay away from Otsushima in recent days.

On the one hand, Kamiya wants to support the little crab girl to ascend to the throne and indirectly control the country of the sea, so he has the intention of helping Otsushima keep his family.

On the other hand, he had thought about capturing the merfolk before to see if he could get more information related to the red tide, and the mermaid took the initiative to attack, which was the opportunity to capture it.

"Let's go to the beach now!"

Crab Ji grabbed her conch hammer and was about to direct her men out to defend it.

But at this time, a blue crab came out of a cave in the middle of the cliff: "Lord Crab Ji, the owner of the crab shop...... This time the red tide seems to be more ferocious than ever, and the owner is likely to ...... It needs your help. ”

As the "clan image" of the clan, Crab Ji is the natural leader of the crab clan.

But she's too young to be experienced.

The Zongxiang Shrine is about to rise, the mermaid is coming, the red tide is coming, and several major events happen at the same time, and it is chaotic all of a sudden.

"I ...... I ......"

Do you go to help the crab owner defend against the red tide first, or lead the team to deal with the mermaid's attack first?

Crab Ji looked in the direction of the beach, and anxiously looked at the cave of the crab owner, just when she was in a dilemma, Kamiya River on the side spoke, and her tone was extremely flat: "Crab Hime, you go to the crab owner's side, I'll help you dispose of the mermaid." ”

Xiedao has a set of ways to deal with red tides.

Kamiya had known this before.

The last time he asked Crab Ji if he could resist the red tide, Crab Ji replied, "There may be a way", and then added that maybe he could better protect his people by becoming the lord of the sea country.

The focus of dealing with the red tide should be on the weak crab shop owner and the crab girl who is the "sect image".

"Hmm......"

Hearing Kamiya's words, the little crab girl raised her head suddenly.

Beneath the heavy crab shell star, her soft yellow hair swayed, as if she had something to say, but she didn't know where to start.

"Let's go."

"I will, I will repay you!"

The little crab girl's eyes flashed wet like a puppy.

The crimson crab armor on her body trembled, and she opened her arms and gave Kamiya a hug awkwardly.

There is a high probability that this action does not contain any special feelings, and with the simple character of the little crab girl, she probably can't think too much.

And being slammed by this heavily armed little can, Kamiyagawa only felt panicked.

He raised his hand and patted the star pocket on the top of the crab queen's head, and the latter quickly turned around and dragged the conch hammer towards the crab owner's cave.

"Where did the merfolk come from? Lead the way. ”

Kamiyagawa pulled out a text.

"Kamiya-sama, please come with us."

……

Speed through the jungle.

The closer you get to the shore, the more you can feel the restless scent of the sea.

At the end of the jungle, you can finally see the ocean.

The whole sea had turned an eerie bright red, and the surface of the sea shook violently, and the earth seemed to tremble. Huge waves surged high and slammed into the land like a giant wall erected vertically. The water is tumbling, furious, and dangerous.

"Is this the Red Tide?"

From the red wave, Kamiya felt a familiar aura.

Filthy and depraved.

This feeling he had only felt in the black maggots of Yellow Springs.

But the feeling contained in the red tide is not particularly strong, as if it has been diluted a hundred times.

"The changes in the sea country and the ocean are related to the Yellow Springs?"

Kamiya guessed in his heart and continued to rush towards the coast.

In addition to this, he had a peculiar feeling.

The crab island beneath its feet seems to be moving, and there is an invisible barrier force guarding the entire island.

From the moment the red tide arrives, there is a strong atmosphere of strange talk on the island.

Kamiya could tell where this aura was coming from.

He had felt it in the cave of the crab owner, and this should belong to the old leader of the crab clan.

"The crab owner has been staying in the depths of the waterhole in that big cave and can't get out, probably not entirely because of his age. It may have been guarding Crab Island in a special way, resulting in it being completely pinched under the deep pool. ”

Kamiyagawa had a vague guess at this point before.

Boom –

The sea was roaring, and the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking was deafening.

"This red tide, this red tide is bigger than any previous one......

The strange movement of the sea frightened the warrior crabs who traveled with them.

Kamiya also noticed that the strength of the crab owner alone seemed to be far from enough to resist the bright red wave with the momentum of the collapse of a tall building.

And just as on the sea in the distance, an amazing wave passed through the invisible barrier and was about to topple over, and a pillar of light rushed out from the center of Crab Island.

The light rushed straight into the dark sky and scattered like fireworks.

On the dark canopy, emerald green, orange-red, purple, and pink glow intertwine and connect into dreamlike streamers. They danced in the air, changing shapes and colors, like meteors across the sky, like colorful curtains hanging down.

Like an invisible paintbrush, it cuts through the night sky with gorgeous arcs and curves, and these rays of light slowly shine through the heavy black clouds, like a magnificent and tranquil aurora.

With the appearance of this light, the barrier power on the outer perimeter of Crab Island was reinforced.

The bright red waves that came from the junction of the sea and the sky, dozens of meters high, were finally cut in the process of approaching the crab island, and when they really rushed to the sea island, only a few meters high were left.

Crab Ji said that Crab Island is the only safe area in the entire sea country when the red tide comes.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

The unprecedentedly huge red tide is coming, and the Xiedao side has finally shown their hole cards.

Kamiya couldn't confirm where this brilliant light power came from.

But I vaguely feel that it has something to do with the crab Ji who rushed to the cave just now to assist the crab owner.

"Is this the power of the sect? The power contained in the blood of the gods? ”

With thoughts racing through his mind, Kamiya had come to the shore.

The crimson wave was curtailed in force, and it was no longer enough to rush into the jungle and rush to the crab settlement.

But the tide rises and falls along the coast, and even in the shallow position, the water is enough to reach your waist.

Kamiyagawa's wrist had long been wrapped around the [Drowning Girl's Top Heart Hair], and he felt the actual harm of the red tide.

He didn't know exactly what was going on in the rest of the Sea Country, but on Crab Island, Red Tide wasn't fatal to him.

If this kind of marine crisis is really caused by the power of Yellow Springs, then to make an analogy, the danger of red tides on Crab Island is far lower than that of black maggots burrowing directly into the body.

However, red tides and black maggots are different.

Maggots can be dealt with directly when they enter the body, but this bright red wave, it has always been here.

To put it simply, one is intense instant damage, and the other is continuous damage that cannot be dispelled.

"The Whale and the Utengu are not suitable to appear here, but Aragami should be able to survive this wave for a while."

Kamiyagawa also had a lot of experience fighting against Huangquan, and quickly judged the extent of the harm of the red tide.

"Pranya!" "Little tapir!"

He immediately summoned the Prajna possession.

He also called out the dream-eating tapir that had mastered the power of dreams.

Looking at the situation on the coast, there are figures surging in the bright red tide.

It's those merfolk.

These rockfish owners and Isome are in a completely different state from the last time they met.

Their bodies were twisted and deformed, their skin pale as corpses, and their eyes, which had become the same color as the bright red tide, were cold and cruel. Long, serrated teeth protrude from the mouth and exude the smell of blood.

Last time, they seemed violent and evil, but they barely had enough sense to obey their leader's commands.

But this time, the merfolk that haunted the red waves were completely like those low-intelligence monsters who had lost their minds and would only attack by instinct.

In addition, on the coast, Kamiya did not feel the atmosphere of C-level or higher strange talk.

The strength of the attacking merfolk is below D-rank.

Their leader, Isohime, doesn't seem to be here.

"When the red tide recedes, will these merfolk be able to come to their senses?"

With a ridiculous and reluctant mask of jealousy on his face, Kamiya asked the samurai crab beside him.

The change in his appearance and the aura of the desolate god on his body made these not too strong allies a little frightened.

"Perhaps...... But these merfolk are active in such a wave, even if the red tide recedes, I don't know how many ...... will survive."

"Well, leave it to me anyway." A text in Kamiyagawa's hand buzzed softly, "By the way, do you have any places to hold prisoners on Crab Island?" ”

A group of enemies that are no taller than D-class is only a few dozen in number.

Even if he goes crazy, there is an absolute strength gap there, and it is really not a threat to Kamiya.

……

In the cave where the crab owner is located.

The deep pool of water was trembling.

Crab Ji stood on the edge of the waterhole, her face anxious: "Grandpa Crab, are you okay?" ”

The water in the pool shook even more violently, and two whirlpools rolled out in the center, and a pair of huge crab eyes weakly poked out.

"Crab Hime, this time the red tide is bigger than ever...... Grandpa is useless, and I may not be able to stop it on my own...... And I've heard that the merfolk side launched an attack on me, right? ”

"I'll help you, Grandpa! And, besides, Kamiya-sama is also helping us! ”

"Your Excellency......"

"Hmmm! As long as I get the scepter, everything will be fine. Crab Ji said it categorically, but her expression was very sad.

"Crab Hime, you're still so young, you shouldn't be like grandpa. A long time ago, when the sea country was still calm, a little crab like you should have lived a carefree life. ”

Bask in the sun and sleep in.

Go out to fish and pick up shells and small rocks on the beach.

These things may be what a little monster of Crab Ji's age should do.

"Don't ...... Don't talk, Grandpa Crab, your breath is much weaker than before, I'll help you now. ”

Crab Ji sat down on the edge of the waterhole.

She closed her eyes, and after about four or five minutes, the red crab shell on the little crab girl's body began to shine.

The emerald green, orange, purple and pink glow intertwined, flowing like a tide into the deep pool and refracting beyond the cavern.

The pillar of light spreads over the stone statue of Ueda Shinhime, converging on the idol's hands that resemble a baby in his arms, and scattering in all directions of the island of Crab Island.

The grandfather of the crab shop owner is doing his best to defend Crab Island, and Crab Ji thinks that it is his duty to be a "sect statue".

Summoning the power of the sect image in her body, the little crab girl's fair cheeks were red and hot as if they had been steamed.

She thought of Kamiya River at this moment.

The god from the high god dwelling, obviously has nothing to do with the crab clan, but is willing to help them.

"Crab Hime, in fact, you have other choices, that adult seems to like you very much, as long as you want, he should take you to the Divine Residence, and leaving here is also a way out. Grandpa thought, if the adult is reliable, if we can't hold on any longer, I beg Him to take you and your people out. ”

"But, the sea country is our home."

"Crab Hime, you know, Okutsushima is long gone. Where you are is home, everywhere is the same. ”

"Woo......"

The words that the little crab lady wanted to say choked in her throat.

Yes, Okuzu Island is long gone.

A long, long time ago, before the crab was born, it was destroyed in a red tide disaster.

The current Okutsu Island, also known as Crab Island, is a new island built from the wreckage of the damaged island and the huge body of the crab owner, and it is a living island.

"I'm not leaving." Crab Ji shook her head stubbornly, "I won't leave you here, Grandpa Crab." I am a statue of the sect, the heir of Lord Tian Xinji, and I want to become the lord of the sea country, and I can't leave the sea country behind. ”

The crab owner has long been integrated with the new crab island.

Even if Kamiyagawa is willing to take the crab people away from the sea country, this old owner can't do without it.

It itself has become part of the Sea State.

I don't know why, but Crab Ji thought of the "strange creatures of the outside world" that Kamiya talked about when she was scared by Bad Taste-

Crab slave.

A creature that parasitizes on the body of a crab.

A selfish evil monster that survives by plundering the life force and nutrients of crabs.

In fact, she felt that she was no different from this kind of monster.

Selfishly parasitic on the crab owner's body, relying on the vitality consumed by the old owner to survive in the red tide again and again.

The scale of the red tide this time is surprisingly large, and the crab owner can no longer cope with it alone.

Even if this wave of red tide recedes, there may be big problems on Crab Island.

However, how can you just leave the grandfather of the crab shop owner here?

……

"Abba whoop."

And in the middle of the cave, an inconspicuous corner.

Entering the state of [nothingness], the little old man who could not be detected sat cross-legged and sat in meditation with his cheeks on his face.

He listened to the conversation between the crab girl and the crab owner clearly, thoughtfully.

The owner had guessed correctly, the situation of the crab clan was indeed much more complicated than expected. (End of chapter)
