Chapter 22: The Mermaid King's Past
She gave up her third prop to Qian Duobao and gave up the chance to advance, also because she found that when the three props were full, she could no longer trigger any monster props and quests.
That's why she discarded the prop to make room for a new one.
The new quality item will be on Fore or the octopus.
She had already guessed what to do.
Josh touched his forehead.
It seems that after the last time I came out of the water, I no longer had a fever.
My body is also a little refreshed, because the muscle pain caused by the high fever has been relieved a lot.
She touched the mermaid heart in her pocket, finally relaxed, and fell asleep.
The mermaid heart in her pocket was constantly glowing with ice blue, and a faint stream of light poured into Josh's body along the palm of Josh's hand.
In a dim sense, Josh seemed to hear the sound of the sea swelling.
There were also shrill cries and shouts.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw a picture of the underwater wonder.
The surrounding sea water was constantly bubbling and seemed to be boiling.
Not far away is an undersea volcanic crater.
With a bang, the crater erupted with hot magma.
Many sea creatures fled frantically, but tragedy was still not avoided.
Suddenly, a little blue starlight gathered not far away in the direction of the crater.
Josh looked at it and saw that it was a large group of merfolk, their tails bursting with powerful spiritual power, flashing with a faint blue light.
At the head was the blonde mermaid king, whose tail was extremely dazzling.
From a distance, the Mermaid King was like a blue crescent moon, surrounded by countless little mermaids who followed him to the battlefield.
The Mermaid King bore the brunt of the attack and threw out a powerful spiritual force into the crater, isolating the magma.
The scorching magma burned his skin layer by layer, and then it was quickly repaired by mental power.
The little mermaids let out ethereal songs, and one by one they stood up and rushed to the crater as if they were dying.
Every time a merfolk blew up their tails with their psychic powers, a small black speck appeared in the crater's magma that had been extinguished.
But for the massive crater, the faint black specks are just a drop in the bucket.
A row of little mermaids rushed out, looking up to the sky and singing, as if they were saying their last goodbyes to friends and family, and then rushed into the crater without hesitation.
Countless small black spots burst out slowly, little by little.
The black color gradually converges into a large area of shadow, covering the crater little by little.
The mermaid king, who was the leader, was already scorched all over his body, but he still used his spiritual power to cover the entire crater and prevent the magma from continuing to flow out.
Josh was shocked, she had never seen such a shocking scene.
Nearby, there was a mermaid who was only eight or nine years old.
Josh hurriedly grabbed her: "You're so small, don't go over, run for your life!" ”
The little guy gave her a strange look, his eyes clean and powerful: "The king is still fighting, and we will not leave the king." ”
The little mermaid broke free of her hand and swam towards the merfolk without hesitation.
A steady stream of merfolk pounced one after another, and the fleeing sea creatures turned their heads to see the scene, and the speed of their escape slowly slowed down.
"The king blocked the crater!"
"We can't leave the king behind!"
"We're going back!"
"That's right! We're going back to help! ”
Josh looked inexplicably sour, and opened his mouth to stop it, but looked at their loyal and determined eyes.
She couldn't say a word.
The bottom of the sea suddenly shook violently, and the temperature of the sea continued to rise as countless bubbles rose.
The mermaid king's face and the front of his body had been burned to the point of flesh and blood, and drops of blood fell on the magma, pouring a large black patch.
As the creatures of the sea swooped down, the lava at the bottom of the sea was finally contained and fell silent.
The corpses piled up next to the crater on the ocean floor were almost several times higher than the crater, forming a basin of the volcano.
In this battle, almost no one survived.
The mermaid king, whose flesh and blood were blurred, slowly slid down, leaving only the fishtail still emitting a faint glow.
Josh watched as he floated with the waves, swept to shore by the storm on the sea.
It didn't take long for the octopus to appear with Fule, bring the mermaid king back to the circus, and build an aquarium to imprison the mermaid king.
The octopus looked at the mermaid king who was sealed under the pool, and laughed proudly: "Look, this is the mermaid king who is high above?" You're lying on the ground like a dog and gasping for breath right now. ”
The mermaid king's burned body was slowly recovering, and he looked at the octopus indifferently and was silent.
The octopus hated this kind of look in him the most, this look of haughty looking down on all beings.
He pinned the mermaid king's tail to the bottom of the water with his tentacles, and the thick blood mist exploded in an instant, enveloping the blue fishtail.
The Mermaid King couldn't hold back any longer and let out a sharp roar.
His face turned pale instantly, and even the color of his beautiful sapphire eyes faded a lot.
The octopus smiled fiercely: "Isn't it painful?" I've heard that although the mermaid's tail is the most powerful, it is also the most fragile, and your mental power is stored in the tail, if I nail it like this, you won't become a waste, right? ”
The mermaid king trembled in pain, but the indifference in his eyes did not decrease by half.
The smile on the octopus's face faded a little, and he grabbed the mermaid's hair fiercely: "Indifferent, right?" Then guess why the volcano, which has been dormant for many years, erupted? It's me! ”
His eyes widened with pleasure, as if he had done something crazy and remarkable: "I betrayed the ocean, betrayed you, and took away the soul suppression beads you put in the crater to suppress. ”
The mermaid king finally reacted, and suddenly pounced on him and bit the octopus in the eye.
"Ahhhh The screams of the octopus rang out, and his tentacles fluttered in pain, causing the waves around him to lap back and forth.
The Mermaid King spat out his eyes in disgust, chanting an ancient and ornate incantation.
When the octopus heard the spell, he shook his head in horror: "No! You can't curse me! How can you still have the power of the curse? ”
He turned and fled.
A steady stream of spells flowed out of the mermaid king's mouth, turning into a complex blue pattern, which quickly floated towards the octopus, and burrowed into his mind with strength and domineering.
The wounds on the octopus's body will never heal, and his pain is engraved in his soul, even if he dies, it will not stop.
He will be spurned, disgusted, disgusted by all people, and no one will love him.
Only on the day when the Mermaid King is freed will he be freed from death, but his soul will be imprisoned in volcanic magma forever, scorched by endless lava.
In order to take revenge, the octopus tricks Fore and tells her that the mermaid king's heart can bring her sister back to life.
Faure believed it, dived to the bottom of the pool, watched the mermaid king nailed to the bottom, and unceremoniously took out his heart.
The Mermaid King struggled violently, roaring angrily, his face almost covered in fish scales, and his teeth sharpened.
The mermaid heart is the most precious thing of the mermaid king, and it is also the thing that the mermaid relies on to save his life.
Without it, the Mermaid King would not be able to gain the power of self-healing.
The octopus sneered and lifted Fore out of the water.
Darkness squeezed in from all sides, embracing the Mermaid King in the middle.
His fishtail emitted a faint blue light, and there was an inexplicable sadness in the darkness.
Darkness gradually engulfs the image.
The last thing Josh saw was the mermaid king's lifeless body, his long blonde hair covering most of his face.
When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.
Josh sat up in a daze, looking at the mermaid heart in his hand.
She thought, she knew what to do.
The Soul Suppression Bead in the octopus's hand is the third item to rescue the Mermaid King, and the octopus in the usual non-riot situation should be dominated by the soul of Fuer's mother.
It is very likely that the Soul Suppression Bead was given to Fore by her.
Josh called out to the others.
Huang Erbai was a little impatient: "What's the matter?" ”
The green hair also looked like he hadn't woken up: "I'm dreaming, what's wrong?" ”
Josh looked at a few people and said solemnly: "I have a way to clear the customs and get new quality items." ”
"What's the solution?" A few of the others were instantly refreshed.
Josh looked at them and said, "If I'm not wrong, that octopus is Fore's mother, and there must be some misunderstanding between Fore, her mother, and her sister, and we need to stir up these misunderstandings and untie Fore's knot." ”
Huang Erbaihu looked at her suspiciously: "How did you guess it?" Why don't I know? ”
Josh: "Now is not the time to explain, you guys help me get Fore's attention, I'll go to her room and steal something." ”
Huang Erbai still wanted to ask, but Qian Duobao and Green Mao had already nodded obediently.
The two groups of people split up.
Huang Erbai, who was forced to act, looked confused: "?? ”
They were outside waking up the animals and making a lot of noise, and Fore was woken up and came out with a whip.
Josh took advantage of the chaos to sneak into her room and pulled Alan out from under the bed.
Unexpectedly, Ailan lost his mermaid heart and had become a dried corpse.
She didn't have time to hesitate, carrying the dried corpse out of the room, and pressed the mermaid's heart to her skin.
Ailan quickly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a vivid and vivid appearance, as if a shriveled balloon was instantly full of air.
Both Faure and the octopus noticed the anomaly and were both alarmed.
Alan looked at the person who woke him up in surprise: "You ......"
Josh looked at her, "Your mother and your sister are suffering because of your death, and they need you. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a whip was whipped.
Josh hurriedly hugged Alan and jumped onto the big guy's shoulder.
When Fore saw the person in Josh's arms, his face changed instantly: "Sister! ”
The octopus also suddenly rioted, waving its octopus foot to snatch the person in Josh's arms.
Josh pressed the mermaid stone against Alan's neck, looking at the two rioters, his voice was not loud, but he was a positive deterrent: "If you don't stop, I'm going to turn her into a dry corpse." ”
Faure was furious: "You dare! ”
The octopus roared, but didn't make any further movements.
Obviously, Alan is their weakness.
Ailan looked at them distressedly: "Sister, mother, don't do it. ”
Fore met Ailan's eyes, and his expression immediately became gentle: "Ailan, don't be afraid, there is a sister here, and no one will hurt you." ”
Alan shook her head, "She won't hurt me." Sister, I was originally a dead person, don't be sad for me. ”
"Nope! You're not dead! Fore looked at her excitedly: "I have found a way to save you, as long as that mermaid is willing to bless you, you can come back to life!" ”
"Don't," Alan shook his head with red eyes, "Sister, I don't want to live, and I don't want to see you in pain." ”
Fore shook his head: "As long as you come back to life, I won't be in pain." ”
Alan sighed, quietly snuggled in Josh's arms, looked at Fore not far away, and pursed her lips: "Sister, I don't want you to be unhappy." ”
Fore's eyes flashed slightly, and a look of pain crossed his face: "I won't be unhappy, as long as you live, I will be very happy and happy." ”
"No, you won't." Ailan suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, and there was something more complicated in his eyes: "You won't, will you?" ”
Josh senses that the plot line of "Delivering the Painful Soul of Fore" is progressing, and puts Alan down.
Alan slowly approached Fall, stood in front of her, and touched Fall's face sadly and happily: "Sister, I'm dead, I also like the state of death, you let me go." ”
Fore's eyes reddened.
Alan hugged Fur gently: "Sister, I don't blame you, I'd rather die than live in such pain, you set me free, you made me redeemed." ”
"Don't say it...... Don't say it......" Fore hugged her in pain: "I'm sorry, Ilan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it!" ”
Ailan smiled, her eyes shining: "Sister, death is not terrible, it is free, I have never blamed you." ”
Josh probably guessed the hidden plot at this point.
Newspapers and diaries say that the Alan family was infiltrated by an octopus.
But obviously, this matter has nothing to do with Fore.
It is very likely that Alan was deliberately killed by Fore, and in order to numb herself and alleviate her guilt, she tried to turn herself into an extreme bad person, brainwash herself, and make herself feel at ease.
Fore fell to his knees in agony, broke down and cried, "Don't say it! Don't talk about it! I'm sorry Alan, but I shouldn't be jealous that you can always be favored by your parents, nor should I be jealous of your talent for taming animals. I just wanted to let the octopus in and humiliate you, but I didn't expect it to kill you, kill your parents, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry......"
Ailan helped her wipe away her tears distressedly: "Sister, don't be sad, it's a relief to die than to live in pain." I no longer have to be forced to do something to cute little animals, I don't have to endure the pain of asthma anymore, I don't have to listen to my parents anymore and I wear revealing clothes to please men while performing, thank you, I'm serious. ”
Fore covered his face and shook his head in pain, crying until he lost his voice.
Seeing this, Ailan couldn't help but redden, and squatted down: "Sister, can you see how I am?" ”
Fore whimpered, not daring to look up.
Alan kissed the top of Fuer's head gently: "Sister, you let me go, I want to become the wind, to see the beauty of the world, to see the waves and tides, I have not disappeared, but I have been free in advance." ”
Fore heard Alan's gentle voice and finally couldn't help but look up at her.
When she met Ailan's clean and bright eyes, she couldn't hold back, and the pain in her heart reached its peak, and she hugged Ailan suddenly: "I'm wrong Ailan, don't leave me, don't leave me!" ”
Ailan waited patiently for Fore to cry enough before saying, "Sister, if you really feel guilty, can you do me a favor?" ”
"What?" Fore hurriedly looked up.
Alan looked at the animals with some sadness: "Can you put those animals away?" And in the water, we don't deprive other animals of their right to freedom. ”
