When the magic flower blooms

A dilemma - this is the true portrayal of He Tiansi at present.

Although he rescued the female mermaid's child, he sent himself into the siege of murderers.

23 strong men armed with torches, harpoons, machetes, and bows and arrows all stared at him, their sinews and tendons jumping up and down, full of murderous aura.

Don't panic, this is an illusion - He Tiansi reminded himself that as long as he wakes up, he can escape from danger and return to the comfortable big bed in the activity center for the elderly.But no matter how much he held his breath, stomped his feet, and pinched himself, the illusion in front of him just refused to disappear.

A little consolation is that the gangsters who surrounded him were obviously confused by his abnormal self-abuse behavior, and hesitated to go forward.

"Bastard! What are you doing standing there!?" A thick-bearded man who looked like the leader shouted, "Fuck me!"

Hearing a shout from the crowd, the man who was knocked down on the rock just now rushed up first, picked up a long pole and stabbed He Tiansi in the chest.

He Tiansi let out an "ah", and quickly dodged to the right, avoiding the attack of the bamboo pole.

What next?He just started to think, when a series of difficult movements suddenly appeared in his mind.

This can only be done in martial arts movies, right?He quickly denied himself.While he was struggling, the long pole swept over again with the strong wind, and hit his arm severely.

After half a second of shock, a sharp itching pain exploded on his arm.He Tiansi grinned his teeth in pain, and almost jumped up clutching his arms.

Seeing him so vulnerable, those murderers laughed wildly.The gleaming machete in his hand reflected the red light of the torch.

"If you catch them alive, maybe you can sell them for some money!" The bearded leader reminded loudly.

The murderers echoed high and low, gradually narrowing the encirclement.

Anyway, you can't get ahead if you are cowardly, so He Tiansi simply put his heart down and decided to give it a go.

Once again, the long pole swept over vigorously, and He Tiansi immediately lowered his waist to avoid it.When the long pole swept over his head, he quickly grabbed the pole and turned around.

Before the man holding the pole had time to react, the wrist holding the bamboo pole was twisted 180 degrees outward.He let go of his hand subconsciously, He Tiansi immediately pulled away the bamboo pole, and then stabbed it forward hard.

Hearing a muffled grunt, the big man staggered two steps back, stepped on the slippery moss on the reef, and slid into the sea.

The sharks who had been lurking in the waves attacked.

Countless hands grabbed the big man who fell into the water, tore his flesh and dragged him into the water.The sea water was turbulent and churning, and the blood water dyed the froth on the sea red one after another.

The man's screams were intermittent, gradually dissipating and disappearing on the vast sea, but the fierce battle on the reef had just begun.

With the bamboo pole in hand, He Tiansi managed to regain his composure, but he knew that the chances of him getting out unscathed were still very slim.

Another murderer tried to approach, but He Tiansi waved his bamboo pole to repel him, and then resolved several feints.The situation seemed to be at a stalemate, but soon, the thugs with big knives retreated back, replaced by two archers, and aimed at him with bows and arrows.

What should I do? !

Desperate for his wits, He Tiansi ran towards the beach.He thought that as long as he jumped into the sea, he would be able to escape the threat of bows and arrows, and those mermaids should not come to trouble him.

But after all, he was a step too slow, and a cold arrow came through the air, hitting his right shoulder blade impartially.

The severe pain and impact caused He Tiansi to stagger and fall forward. When he landed, he suddenly found that some suspicious patterns were smeared with red powder on the reefs surrounding the shore.

Before he had time to think about what the hell these powders were, he grabbed a handful and turned around to throw them out.

At this time, there happened to be a murderer who wanted to catch him, and was thrown in the face by the powder, and stopped cursing while wiping his face.But it seems that this powder has no toxicity or other effects except that it can confuse the eyes like sand.

The rope at the end of the arrow branch on the shoulder was tightened, and He Tiansi gasped in pain.And the bearded murderer leader had already walked in front of him.

"who are you?!"

The tall, sturdy man shouted and asked, as if he was looking at He Tiansi, and he seemed to be looking at the red pattern that He Tiansi had ruined.

"Who do you think I am?" Anyway, He Tiansi didn't know what he was in this world, so he simply played cool.

The two onlookers shouted: "He's just a mermaid, isn't he?!"

"fart!!"

The leader waved his hand to signal the others to shut up, bent over and squatted in front of He Tiansi, and even looked at He Tiansi.

"No...you must not be a mermaid. Otherwise, you would not be able to get on this reef at all. What are you?!"

He Tiansi didn't want to answer at first, but once he remained silent, the barb on the arrow on his back would be pulled hard, and the pain made him almost unable to maintain his sanity.

Under the double accumulation of pain and anger, he simply roared loudly: "I am the sea god in this temple! Get out of my place!!"

The crowd fell silent all of a sudden, and the murderers looked at each other in blank dismay.Only the bearded leader burst into wild laughter.

"Sea God? What is that thing? Big fish? Or a big turtle or a big clam? Well, it's very good. The rarer it is, the better it can be sold."

The leader fiddled with the dagger in his hand, with a ferocious smile on his face, "Come let me have a test, quickly show your true shape!"

what happened?It is said that people who earn a living at sea are all in awe of the Sea God, how is this different? !

His back was still in excruciating pain, and he saw the dagger approaching again.He Tiansi didn't have any idol burden, so he quickly changed his combat strategy.

"I'm a pheasant... and a little bit of dog and horse blood."

It's a pity that his honest confession sounds more like a lie than casual nonsense.

"You fucking refuse to tell the truth, right? Good, good!"

The bearded leader drew out a short knife and made a knife on his fingertips, the bright reflection reflected He Tiansi's eyes.

He originally thought it was just a threat, but saw a flash of cold light, and the blade stabbed the back of his hand propped on the rock!

The sudden severe pain made He Tiansi lost his mind and screamed.He could feel the back of his hand being pierced by the blade, and he couldn't move for an instant.

"Don't tell me, just change it for me!"

The bearded leader pulled the blade out of He Tiansi's palm, and warm blood flowed out continuously, mixing with the cold sea water on the ground, causing another burst of severe pain.

change what?Transform into a demihuman animal form?What a joke, Ming Ruoxing has never taught me!

He Tiansi's heart was beating like a drum, and he hurriedly recalled over and over again what Ming Ruoxing had taught him in the past few months.

He really reminded him of it—Ming Ruoxing once mentioned that demihumans with strong abilities can manipulate ordinary people.If he could unleash his demihuman powers, maybe...

"Are you going to tell me or not!!"

Without any warning, another sharp pain interrupted He Tiansi's thinking.The back of his other hand was also stabbed, and this time, the leader even deliberately twisted the blade in the wound!

The severe pain of tearing flesh made He Tiansi completely lose his ability to think. He was sweating profusely all over his body, his muscles were throbbing, and snowflakes were flying in front of his eyes.

That's what it feels like!

He relaxed his body, allowing his rational self to be completely paralyzed, while his sensibility soared—he could feel the huge anger expanding rapidly like a cancerous tumor.The pain was like the sharpest dagger, piercing through this cancerous tumor, releasing a black explosion.

The vicious leader was still threatening something verbally, but He Tiansi could no longer hear clearly.Accompanied by the loss of sanity, fragmented pictures that seemed real but not real began to appear in front of his eyes.On the other side of each piece of fragments are the ferocious faces of the gangsters in front of them.

"Brother, this kid's bones are really hard enough."

Seeing He Tiansi's hands dripping with blood but gritting his teeth, I don't know which murderer sighed.

"fart!!"

The bearded leader raised his head and cursed fiercely: "What the hell is this? It's your grandfather and I haven't used the thunderbolt method yet!"

As he spoke, he picked up the dagger again, this time aiming at He Tiansi's Achilles tendon on the forehead of his right foot.Although a lame leg may affect the asking price, it is nothing to the aquatic demihumans.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he raised his sword again.However, the blade did not bring up a bloody flower smoothly.

As if time had been suspended, the knife, together with the bearded leader's right hand, was miraculously frozen in midair.

The murderers fell silent all of a sudden!

At some point, He Tiansi raised his head.Although his face was still covered with cold sweat, there was no look of pain anymore.

And a dark blue, strange power shining like stardust is constantly emanating from his body.

What's even more weird is that, as if echoing the power he released, the mysterious patterns smeared with red powder on the rocky reef also began to glow, flickering on and off.

"Aren't these hexagrams specially used to deal with those sharks? How come..."

"It's troublesome now!"

"Is this kid really the Sea God?"

"..."

The murderers chattered in astonishment.Seeing this, the leader immediately shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the morale of the army.

"What's so scary about such a small skill! Don't forget, we have a magic weapon for body protection! This kind of monster is afraid of him-!"

After shouting this sentence, he let out another loud roar, trying to use more force to stab the dagger at He Tiansi.

But in contrast to his bluff, He Tiansi tilted his head and stared at him indifferently.

"Body protection magic weapon? You mean this?"

As he spoke, he stretched out a bloody right finger and pressed it on the leader's arm.

On it, there are tattoos all over the arm.

If you look closely, those patterns are indeed very weird.It's not a common decorative pattern or text, but more like some kind of ancient charm - after re-identification, it is somewhat similar to the red runes on the reef.

Realizing that He Tiansi not only saw through, but was not afraid of his "magic weapon" at all, the bearded leader finally lost his footing.And this chaos, he was never able to regain his composure.

"Boss, boss, your hand!!" one of the men closest to them stuttered and screamed.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people discovered that the tattoos on the arms of the bearded leader started to glow like the patterns on the ground!

No, it's not just about glowing.The golden red light seemed to come out from the flesh!

As if to confirm this point, the leader suddenly raised his head to the sky, took two big breaths in a hurry, and let out a loud and clear scream of liver and gallbladder splitting!

Accompanied by this loud and clear scream, the golden-red light on the tattoo began to expand and become brighter.In just a few seconds, the whole person was completely engulfed by the light, turning into a group of screaming and terrifying firemen!

The rest of the murderers who witnessed all this with their own eyes were all dumbfounded and began to back away trembling.

About half a minute later, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the human-shaped fireball collapsed instantly, turning into a pile of slowly burning ashes!

He Tiansi watched the bearded leader completely turn into ashes the whole time, and then turned his head to look at the reef not far away—just as his eyes fell on those mysterious glowing charms, the red powder began to burn blazingly .

The flames reflected the bewildered expressions of the murderers on the reef, and also illuminated the red eyes of the vengeful sharks who were rapidly approaching the reef from the sea.

A bloody battle of revenge ensues.

He Tiansi did not continue to participate in it, just dealing with the bearded leader had exhausted him.

After an unknown amount of time, the screams and cries for help gradually disappeared, and the flames on the reef and the candles in the stone lamps were also extinguished one by one.The sky is faintly revealing the white belly.

The long night seemed to be coming to an end at last.

The wounds on both hands were no longer bleeding, and it seemed that they were not as painful as before.Facing the cool sea breeze, He Tiansi sat on the high threshold of the back door of the Sea God Temple.Seeing those blood-soaked mermen walking silently in front of him one by one.

Get on your knees, kneel.

"You guys made a mistake..."

He Tiansi smiled wryly and raised his hand: "That was all nonsense just now, I'm not a sea god... But can you tell me how to return to the real world? There are still people waiting for me there."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw thousands of dazzling golden lights suddenly radiating from the sea level directly in front of him.

It was sunrise, and the golden-red sun finally broke through the shackles and slowly rose from the deep seabed.

He Tiansi subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.At this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy.Immediately afterwards, the body seemed to be divided into several parts at once, and they turned upside down and confused in different directions.

And when all the separated feelings became one again, he finally lay back on the hard old wooden bed, and returned to the small yard of the elderly activity center.
