If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

"Best friend!" Ibaraki exclaimed and sat up.The people sitting around all turned their heads when they heard the sound, and looked at him intently.

Ibaraki just woke up and didn't realize where he was. He held his painful forehead, glanced around, and found himself sitting on the beach: "Where is my best friend Shuten Doji?"

"You, have you recovered your memory?" Yingcao asked weakly.

Ibaraki raised his eyes, and the murderous intent was revealed in Yinghuang's eyes, but before he could say anything, his head started to hurt violently again.

"Are you okay?" Yingcao was afraid of such an uncertain Ibaraki, but was also very worried about his physical condition, hesitating for a moment in a dilemma.But in the end Hotaru managed to overcome the fear in her heart and walked towards Ibaraki.

"What do you want to do?" Ibaraki pushed Yingcao away, and then retracted his hands to hug his aching head.Yingcao was pushed and staggered, and managed to gain a firm footing.He looked at the painful Ibaraki, not knowing what to do.

After a while, the headache subsided, and Ibaraki finally calmed down, and remembered what happened when he lost his memory.He looked at Yingcao who was aggrieved and stood aside, hesitated for a moment and said to Yingcao: "Too weak."

A weak monster like Yingcao does not meet his criteria for making friends, and his image is also far from the best friend he has been following.

Although he occasionally bursts out with great strength, he is usually too weak. I have always looked down on these weak little monsters, and being able to say a word to him is already an appreciation for him.

Ibaraki looked at the vast sea in front of him, and remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. He didn't expect that such a big monster would be pushed into the water by a human being.Ibaraki was very angry in his heart, wishing to appear in front of that human right away and tear him to pieces.

After a long time, Ibaraki faced the sea and turned his back to the crowd and said: "I didn't know who I was when I lost my memory, so I went with you. Now that I have recovered my memory, we will part."

After speaking, Ibaraki moved, and the white-haired monster disappeared without a trace before their eyes.

"Ibaraki won't come back?" Yingcao's voice was very low, only Hannya beside him could hear it.Prajna replied softly: "Probably not."

"I thought Ibaraki was already our partner, so I was thinking too much." Yingcao's voice was even deeper, and no one heard him whisper this time, "Sure enough, a monster as powerful as Ibaraki doesn't look like a monster like Ibaraki. I'm such a weak guy."

"Now we don't have fishing boats, so we can't go out to sea. Let's find some food first." Han Xiu looked at the rippling sea and said, and then smiled ironically, "It seems that the old man is obviously trying to get rich and kill himself. What he once said about Haizhonghai is just nonsense."

The little deer man moved his ears to comfort Han Xiu: "If you can't find the merman, you can't find it. Anyway, now I can control my emotions very well."

Han Xiu hummed to show that he heard it, but he didn't listen to what the little deer man said.Just kidding, I have already come here, if I don't get the Shark Pearl, wouldn't all the hardships I suffered in the past few days be in vain?Even if the little deer man can control his emotions well now, what if there is an emergency?

Han Xiu replied: "Let's see it again. Let's fill up our stomachs first. Let's go to the fishing village we met earlier. If we can see the old man, we have to settle the score with him."

The four of them walked towards the direction they remembered, but they didn't see that small village after walking for a long time.Han Xiu frowned: "Did we go in the wrong direction?"

"No." Banruo replied with certainty, "I remember that it is in this direction, and it can't be wrong."

The little deer man also thinks that they are going in the right direction.But where did the village go?

Han Xiu also felt that they were heading in the right direction: "Since the direction is right, let's move forward."

The four of them continued to walk forward, and there was always a light yellow sand beach under their feet, without any shadow of the village at all. The more they walked, the more they felt puzzled.The sharp-eyed little deer man found that there were some different colors in front of him. Excited, he shouted at Han Xiu and the others without carefully distinguishing them: "Ahead! It's right in front."

"Great." Yingcao's depressed mood also recovered a little bit, and the four of them stepped up and walked forward.

But just as they were about to approach, they discovered something was wrong.The front is not the village they thought at all, but the sea!And there was a white-haired monster with a broken arm and a stinky face by the sea.

Isn't Ibaraki gone?Why is he still here?This question popped up in everyone's minds.

"You have also discovered the weirdness here." The first one to speak was Ibaraki with an unhappy face.

"What?" Yingcao asked subconsciously.

"Don't tell me you haven't discovered that this is a barrier?" Ibaraki raised his eyebrows and asked.

No wonder, no wonder they couldn't find the small fishing village, they were no longer where they were.

"Can you break this enchantment?" Hannya touched her chin and asked, "Ibaraki Doji is so powerful, so it should be possible to break it."

Ever since seeing Hannya's face, Ibaraki has always disliked Hannya, and now he hates him even more.This guy asked this question on purpose.If he could break the barrier, how could he appear here?

However, Yingcao didn't know how to read people's faces, and waited anxiously for Ibaraki's answer.Ibaraki said two words with a sullen face: "No."

"Then what should we do?" Yingcao was a little anxious and asked pitifully, "Then how can we get out?"

Han Xiu calmed down now: "Maybe this is the place we are looking for. I remember that I appeared on this beach as soon as I woke up, and so did you. Do you remember what happened before?"

"Remember." The little deer man followed Han Xiu's words, "We were pushed into the sea."

Ibaraki's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't speak.

Banruo pondered for a while, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "You mean, this is the sea in the sea?"

Han Xiu nodded. He looked at Ibaraki and said, "Ibaraki Doji is powerful, and he can easily break the barriers of ordinary monsters. But there is a kind of barrier that almost no one can break."

"The enchantment of the small world!" Yingcao's eyes were filled with hope.Ibaraki nodded to Hotaru, affirming his statement.

"Great, then we won't be in a hurry to go out." Yingcao said, feeling depressed again, he glanced at the sea and said, "But there are still no mermaids here."

Han Xiu took out the amber beads around his neck: "Maybe it's just that it's not time for the sharks to appear, but we can't sit still, why don't we walk along the coast first and see if we can find anything."

Everyone had no objection, Han Xiu looked at the beads and decided whether they should go left or right.Finally, under the guidance of the beads, the five walked left along the coast.

I walked for a long time, but there was still the sea and the beach in front of me, and there was no one else or anything.Judging from their previous experience of suddenly walking back to the beach, they weren't even sure if they were walking a circle.Perhaps the road under their feet has already been walked many times.

Han Xiu also gradually became restless. The bead in his palm only lit up when he was choosing the direction, and there was no movement after that.

Suddenly, the amber beads flickered non-stop, Han Xiu was immediately attracted by it, and his steps slowed down.Is it around here?But what's nearby?Looking at the empty sea and beach, Han Xiu couldn't help feeling restless.

"Crack!" Han Xiu was so absorbed in thinking that he forgot that he was walking. He accidentally tripped his right foot over his left foot, fell sideways, and half of his body was submerged in the sea water.

Han Xiu got up from the beach helplessly, only to find that the world in front of him was different from before.He saw an old dilapidated pier not far away, and a slim figure stood on the pier, staring at the sea.

Other places are sunny, only the small area of ​​the pier is raining non-stop.The figure on the pier was holding an oil-paper umbrella, motionless like a statue.

Han Xiu lowered his voice subconsciously: "Go, go to the pier over there."

"Where is the pier?" The little deer man looked at Han Xiu suspiciously.Only then did Han Xiu realize that only he could see the dilapidated pier.

Han Xiu put the lucky beads back on and looked at the sea water under his feet.Perhaps the key factor in seeing the pier is that they are located differently.Han Xiu reached out and pulled the little deer man over. The little deer man staggered and almost fell into Han Xiu's arms.

"There really is a pier." The little deer man also saw the pier and the figure on the pier after stepping into the water.

The rest of the people stopped hesitating when they heard the words, and walked towards Han Xiu's direction one after another.But after they touched the sea, they all saw the dilapidated pier.

Everyone looked at the continuous rain on the pier, and their mood became depressed involuntarily. The five of them approached the pier in silence.

They gradually approached, and finally saw the slim figure on the pier clearly.From the back view, she is a beautiful woman.With a thin figure, she was wearing a dark blue mermaid skirt, the hem of the skirt was dragged to the ground, and the color was similar to that of the sea.She held up an umbrella to prop up a world without rain for herself.

The original color of the umbrella can no longer be seen, because it has been covered with thick green moss.Han Xiu looked at the moss with a heavy heart. How long did it take for the umbrella to grow such thick moss?

The five people gradually approached. They did not deliberately hide their footsteps, but the woman standing on the pier seemed to have never heard of them, and never looked back at them.

Han Xiu took a step forward and patted the woman's shoulder lightly.The woman finally had a reaction, she turned around slowly, glanced at Han Xiu, and said nothing.

Han Xiu asked her politely, "May I ask if you know how to find the Merman?"

Yu Nu's eyes were still vacant, as if she heard Han Xiu's question, but also as if she didn't hear anything.After a while, Yunu shook her head dully.
