The Dragon King is weak and helpless but can eat [Interstellar]

Song Qianqian squatted in front of the roadside stall and carefully selected for a long time before picking out two hollow coral bracelets, the same style, one light red and the other light purple.

She was not only looking at the bracelets, but from time to time her eyes fell on the four or five men who were buying clothes at the stalls in the distance—they spoke in accents mixed with unknown places, and their words were extremely vulgar, which annoyed the stall owner a lot when bargaining. unhappy.

Finally, the price was cut in half, and they picked up those gorgeous fabrics.

When the man paid, Song Qianqian had just finished choosing, and after paying, she brought it in front of Li Jianchun: "Promise to pick one, which one do you like?"

As long as Li Jianchun is not allowed to answer, her reaction speed is quite normal.She looked at it and took the light purple belt in her hand.

The wrist is fair, and it looks really good with that bracelet.When she stretched out her hand, a little white bird riding the sea breeze just landed on her hand, tilted its head, and looked at her with dark eyes.

Li Jianchun smiled silently.

Then she was dragged forward happily by Song Qianqian, and said as she walked, "I've never been here before, and I'm sure I'll buy a lot of gadgets before I leave."

They were like ordinary travelers, but their eyes never left the two of them.The lively market crowd is their best cover.

The two had been in the market on this remote island for some time, and they couldn't rush back when they received a warning from the outpost.

However, it is not all fruitless.

In a remote bar, Li Jianchun heard the conversation of this team of mercenaries, in which the word "blood" was clearly mentioned.

They also mention "bosses," but aren't sure if that's who they're after.

However, the Blood Worship Church has always been in contact with interstellar mercenaries, and these gangs of outlaws are the most suitable guys for transporting alien beasts and various illegal equipment.In addition, in Xingdu before, a large number of mutants were injected with mermaid blood, and the source was probably Bei En.

So all the way from the bar, they followed the team of men to the market.

Soon the market will end.There were intricate alleys there, and the flow of people suddenly decreased a lot. Song Qianqian and Li Jianchun deliberately lengthened the tracking distance.

Until at a corner, Song Qianqian stopped suddenly.

Then she whispered, "Why are there people from the inspection department here?"

The group of hunters and mercenaries in gray and black clothes said something, only a few words, and they separated soon.

If they were bumped into by those people, most of their identities would be discovered soon.Seeing that the people from the inspection department were about to walk in their direction, the two of them quickly took a few steps back.

It happened that in the alley there was a pearl seller from Beien who was arranging the pearls one by one.Song Qianqian hurriedly dragged Li Jianchun to the stall, facing away from the inspection department.

The stall owner looked at them both strangely: "You..."

"It's all right." Song Qian smiled slightly, "Look at how beautiful your pearls are, they are big and round, and they immediately attracted our attention." She picked up one casually, "Especially this pearl , it is crystal clear and radiant..."

"That's because," the stall owner paused, "you took a glass bead."

Song Qianqian: "..."

Fortunately, the hunters didn't want to stay for long, so they quickly walked past them and left the area.

Song Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to drag Li Jianchun to chase the mercenaries.

Turning back into the alley happened to be when the group of people disappeared at the end.In a flash, Song Qianqian saw the pattern on the last man's clothes——

Very light dark lines, on which a lion with wings on its back fights a dragon.

The family emblem of the Hunting Dragon family, but it is slightly different from the Shen family's pattern.It belonged to one of the ten dragon-slaying families, but theoretically speaking, except for the Shen family, they would not wear this badge long ago.

Song Qianqian was surprised: "How can there be..."

Li Jianchun also looked slightly astonished.

They followed quietly again.

……

The drone scanned the entire sea area.

Shen Chaomu wanted to take Long Shiyu back to the combat ship, and was still thinking about how to prevent the young man from being noticed by others, when suddenly Long Shiyu pulled him: "There seems to be something there."

"What's there?" Shen Chaomu looked in that direction and saw the deeper sea behind the coral forest.

"I don't know." Long Shiyu pawed there a few times, away from Shen Chaomu's side, wanting to take a closer look.

Shen Chaomu frowned, subconsciously preparing to follow: "Don't..."

As soon as the voice fell, an octopus-like tentacle popped out of the darkness

Shen Chaomu was startled suddenly, and the golden light flew out instantly to cut off the tentacles.

But this time it was Long Shiyu who was faster than him.

Long Shiyu turned his back to him, and he didn't see what cut off the tentacles sharply—for a moment, dark blue blood floated out of the sea, and soon disappeared, as can be seen from the hideous cut. It is the attack of the dragon claw.

When Long Shiyu turned around again, he was already holding a writhing tentacle in his hand, and asked happily, "Is this edible?"

"……Can't."

"Okay." Long Shiyu said, "Then I'll throw it back." He threw the tentacles back into the crack of the attacker's dwelling.

octopus:"……"

It ran away sadly clutching its severed hand.

This kind of blue octopus is a harmless marine creature in Beien. It has no sense of existence, and it will not be judged as "threat" by Shen Chaomu's investigative mental power.

It just wants to grab everything to see if it can be eaten.

In a sense, it is very similar to Long Shiyu.

It was Shen Chaomu who overreacted just now, worried about what happened to Long Shiyu.But thinking back now, the reaction speed and attack of the young dragon at that moment...

Shen Chaomu narrowed his eyes, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

But Long Shiyu looked around again: "Are you going back to the boat now? Maybe you can find another cage a little further down. I was in that area just now and smelled the smell of other strange beasts."

Shen Chaomu was stunned: "Can you smell the breath?"

"Yeah." Long Shiyu nodded, "That smell is very well hidden, but I seem to have smelled it before, so I still have an impression."

"Where did you smell it?"

"I don't really remember, it happened a long time ago. But if you go down now, maybe I can still chase that smell." Long Shiyu said, "After a few hours, the sea water will The smell is completely washed away."

Shen Chaomu thought for a few seconds: "...500 meters, the deepest can only go to 500 meters." This is the maximum distance that small combat ships can provide effective support.

"En." Long Shiyu flicked his tail and swam in one direction.

They skirted corals and anemones and scared off a few more big fish.

All the way down, the sea anemone swaggered.At the end of the coral platform, a very dark depression appeared before the eyes.

a fault.

Abrupt, sharp, bottomless abyss.

That is definitely a nightmare for those who fear the deep sea. It seems that they can sink when they step on the air, and when they drown, they can't even make a cry.

Long Shiyu said: "The breath is going down all the way."

So Shen Chaomu went down first, and Long Shiyu followed behind him.

Downward, the value of the water pressure detector continued to rise, and the exoskeleton system was running to maintain his body temperature.

It was very quiet around.

Shen Chaomu wasn't afraid, but he really didn't like this feeling.

Depressed and dull, it always reminded him of the countless spiritual bodies in the judgment hall on that island.

When no one is there, there is not even a little fire there.Among the dusty bookshelves, they fluttered like light-sensitive bats, living forever in the dark—or, that could not be called "alive" at all.

Born in the most rampant era of alien beasts, he dedicated his life to slaughtering them.They want to hear the screams of strange beasts, they want to see the end of the throne, and they want to close the gates of hell.

Sometimes Shen Chaomu would think that they are both warriors and lunatics.

Or maybe the two are the same thing.

Downward, the breathing bubbles gushed out, scrambling to escape to the sea surface.

As a once-in-a-thousand-year genius of the Tulong family, challenging the throne is his destined goal, and it is so difficult. The various beasts he encountered while searching for the throne are already dangerous enough.

Those elders looked at him with hope countless times, and told him countless times——

You have to give it your all.

Even dying for it is your destiny.

This is something that shouldn't involve others, so Shen Chaomu has been slow to go with other hunters.

Down below, the abyss looms.

"..." Shen Chaomu forced himself to recover from his chaotic thoughts.

After going down a few meters, he was worried that Long Shiyu would be afraid, so he turned around and said, "Here..."

He froze for a moment.

Above the head is an undercurrent surging like a colorful ribbon, and the stars are gorgeous.

Because of the backlight, Long Shiyu's face could not be seen clearly, but the silhouette was gently outlined.

He sank with his back to the abyss, but the youth came from the stars.

——Like a wonderful metaphor.

This idea quietly appeared in Shen Chaomu's mind, and then it was swallowed by the tide like words written on the sand.

"What's wrong?" Long Shiyu asked.

"……fine."

Further down, they came upon a huge boulder.

That's a landmark.Long Shiyu said: "The smell... seems to have disappeared around here."

"This is the entrance of the underwater tunnel." Shen Chaomu said, "Maybe they used some means to escape into the tunnel."

"Tunnel? Is it from the Northern Dynasty?"

"Well. There is a special ocean spar in the tunnel. If activated with the mental power of the Beien people, it can control the nearby ocean currents, and then control whether the tunnel is filled with seawater. These tunnels start from the castle and are divided into different routes. The farthest The one that goes to the Land of the Polar Night. They used to ship ores and pearls from here."

He continued: "A part of the legend about Karen Heckna also happened here. It is said that the royal family did not allow her to be with the unknown poet at that time, so every full moon and the sea water in the tunnel receded, she would take advantage of the guards Run out of this tunnel while drinking and meet the ones you love."

"Now only part of this long tunnel is open for people to visit. After all, it is too old, and there may be a risk of collapse."

Long Shiyu listened carefully, then smiled and said, "You are so amazing, you know so many things."

Shen Chaomu was stunned.

He is indeed as learned as any old hunter, and there is no shortage of such compliments.

But this time, for some reason, he felt better.

The Star Police opened up all permissions to hunters, including the right to use various buildings of the Beien people.Shen Chaomu approached the terminal to the stone, and there seemed to be a flash of blue light in the stone - the ancient ocean spar was faintly shining inside.

An invisible barrier enveloped them, and within a small spherical range, the water was crazily squeezed out.

A few seconds later, they landed lightly, with a solid touch under their feet, and tons of sea water above their heads.

This feeling is very strange, Long Shiyu raised his head, and could vaguely see the starlight of the dark tide flowing down, dim and gentle.

"Let's go." Shen Chaomu said softly, unlocking the door under his feet.

They jumped.

The tunnel was deep, with no end in sight, and there were several corpses of swamp murlocs.Shen Chaomu stood beside the corpses and roughly checked their condition.

The creature is a scavenger and can sleep without food for years if necessary.But these murlocs were all young, probably running in from other openings in the tunnel.

Other than that, there is no life left here.

On the diving exoskeleton, excess sea water is still dripping onto the dry ground.Shen Chaomu with armor was fine, but Long Shiyu who swam down directly was wet all over.

"Isn't it cold?" Shen Chaomu asked.

"It's not cold." Long Shiyu said, "I'm a fire dragon."

So Shen Chaomu looked around again.

The black track on the ground goes all the way to the depths, and there's an old minecart.

Beien people do not accept modern technology in many places, and all the facilities here are very old, so old that Shen Chaomu didn't know how to use them for a while.

The original power source of the mine cart has been damaged, but there is a double-ended pressure rod in the middle of the vehicle.Shen Chaomu did a little research and found that the mine cart can only rely on the pressure rod to move forward manually.

He continued to walk a few steps forward, and touched the wall of the mine with his hands, which was cold and damp.The ground under his feet is mixed with strange-smelling soil. Even many years ago, the smell here would not be much better.

It is hard to imagine a princess escaping from such a place.

And here... there is still a lot of mental power left.

Everyone knows that Shen Chaomu's mental power is strong, but most people have no concept of this "power".

Now he touched the wall inch by inch, and the golden light fluttered around him silently.In the dark passage, it was like fireflies dancing, flickering on and off.

The spiritual power gradually blends with the images of the past.

The walls were brand new, the power of the minecarts gleamed, and even the rails were rust-free.The sea water surged overhead, and the sound of footsteps came from the end of the passage.

The girl in the pure white long dress came panting, her skin was creamy, her blond hair was like sunlight, and her beauty was comparable to the most beautiful pearl on the bottom of the sea.She kicked off her gorgeous high-heeled shoes, and her delicate feet stepped on the rough ground, causing heart-piercing pain.The muddy water splashed under her feet and stained the skirt, but she was full of joy.

Through this long tunnel, through the smelly and dreary air, into the light, she will meet her sweetheart.

When she set foot on the full moon land.

... Shen Chaomu was dazed for a moment.

Whenever he sees the images of the past, he has a feeling of confusion, as if he has completely entered another person's life.

But he quickly came to his senses this time——

The main reason was that Long Shiyu plunged into his arms, and a dragon strike knocked him awake.

"...afraid of the dark?" Shen Chaomu asked, rubbing Long Shiyu's head.

"No, I just feel that your expression is a little strange."

Shen Chaomu smiled: "It's okay, I just saw some images of the past."

"Oh."

The two walked down the long tunnel, only the sound of each other's footsteps for a while.

Shen Chaomu asked: "Aren't you afraid of the deep sea?"

After all, dragons still belong to the species of the sky, and the sea is too deep to go there.

Long Shiyu said: "I'm not very scared. But I haven't been to the deep seabed before, and the last time I went, I also met very interesting strange beasts."

"The strange beasts on the bottom of the sea?" Shen Chaomu recalled, "I remember that they were quite ferocious."

"No. Last time I met a talking yellow sponge and a silly-looking starfish. Together they caught jellyfish on the bottom of the sea."

Shen Chaomu: "...these two collocations sound too strange, what the hell are they?"

"Is it weird?" Long Shiyu walked in the shadow of Shen Chaomu, and said with a smile, "I still think it's quite interesting. If you like it, I can show you many, many more interesting things."
