Tides: Years of Dawn

The moment Gawain heard Crewe's voice, he subconsciously swam towards ten o'clock.He didn't know why Crewe went down into the sea, and his first reaction was revenge from the sea crocodile family.

Crewe would definitely be worried about him falling into the sea with the troll. If the sea crocodile family had decided to kill Crewe at this time, no one would be able to define their responsibility.

What's more, Crewe is clumsy, and it is not impossible for someone with ulterior motives to push him and push him into the battlefield.

But Gao Wen still noticed something strange, he always felt that the voice was unreal.

It floated far away from the darkness towards Gao Wen, neither fast nor slow, and it didn't look like it was in danger at all.

So Gao Wen swam for more than ten meters, slowed down again, and slowly approached the direction of the sound.

At this time, Crewe's voice became clearer.Not only that, but it suddenly became hurried.He speeded up the frequency of calling Gao Wen's name, and what finally made Gao Wen cheer up was the very familiar sentence - "I'm afraid!"

Gawain immediately conjured a trident from his hand, and dashed towards the sound without hesitation.

But something even stranger happened. Although Crewe's voice became clearer and his tone became quicker, he was always at a distance from Gawain.It seems that no matter how you swim, the distance between the two has not changed.

Gao Wen stopped again and looked around.But it was pitch black all around, and now even the schools of glowing fish were gone.

He spread out his free hand to touch the fish that happened to be passing him so he could try to use the Synesthesia Charm to see around.

The sea monster's vision in the dark was not as strong as that of the sea snake. At this moment, Gao Wen thought that if he also had the blood of the sea snake, he might not lose his way.

He took a deep breath and stretched his arms farther.Continue to listen with ears pricked up, and focus on one piece of your palm.

But unfortunately, there are no fish around.He seemed to have entered a wasteland, even if he swiped around with his fish tail, he couldn't feel the existence of corals and reefs.Only a little bit of broken sand and stones on the bottom of the sea caused pain on his scales, which proved that he was still on the bottom of the sea and hadn't fainted yet.

Of course, he had absolutely no idea that his scales had been scratched mottled by sharp stone edges, and the bloody turn-up of the scales was not only indicating the direction of the giant monster, but also attracting sharks.

And on the shore, Saru's eyes began to change.His pupils had disappeared, only the whites of his eyes slowly spread, and then slowly transitioned from white to dark blue bit by bit, until the entire eyeball completely turned into a deep blue.

He also let go of the hand on his lips, and he groped to reach Elena beside him.He didn't want others to find out that he was casting a spell, so he closed his eyes.

He held Elena's arm and whispered - "Don't let others talk to me."

Eileen responded lightly, held Saru's shoulders, and made him turn his face to the sea like everyone else.

Saru's lips opened and closed silently, and Gawain's ear rang again—"Gao Wen, where are you, Gawain...I'm so scared!"

Gawain straightened up from the bottom of the sea again like an electric shock, trying to respond to Crewe's call for help.

He asked Crewe where he was, what trouble Crewe was in, if he could turn on the spell light so he could have a direction, but Crewe just kept repeating that he was scared and the rest would work None of the information.

Gawain was circling around the bottom of the sea like a headless chicken, completely unaware that his tail was spilling blood all the time.Saru shielded his pain as much as possible so that he could focus all his attention on Crewe's safety.

At the same time, he could feel Gawain's heart beating faster and faster - this proved that Gawain was about to surface, he had to terminate the assessment and let the attendants go to the sea to fish Crewe first.

But Saru will not let this moment happen, he will turn on the light as Gawain wishes before Gawain makes a decision.

The small light in the distance is particularly conspicuous in the darkness, and Gawain quickly flew towards the light source with a clever mind.

The light source increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he felt that the light was not waiting for him in place, but running towards him.But he didn't dare to neglect, he was afraid that something might happen to Crewe.

Crewe was innocent and depended on him very much. If Gawain killed his life because of Gawain, Gawain would not be able to forgive himself no matter what.

Finally, after swimming tens of meters further, Gawain saw Crewe's appearance.Yes, he was hiding behind a rock, timidly lighting a fire.

Crewe's body shrank very small, as if all four tentacles had been stuffed into the cracks in the stone.He stared around with wide terrified eyes, and Gawain's approach even made him frightened so much that he extinguished the light.

Gao Wen hurriedly spoke to dispel Crewe's worries—"It's me, don't worry, it's me...Why did you run down, why didn't you stay in the auditorium?"

Gawain slowed down and retracted the trident.

When Crewe saw Gawain, his eyes were dazed, as if he hadn't recovered from his panic.

He still didn't answer Gao Wen's question, but put out the fire in his hand, pulled his tentacles, and repeated—"I...scared!"

"Don't be afraid." Gawain continued to approach him, at this moment Crewe also stretched out his hand to Gawain, as if he wanted to hug him.

Gawain kicked hard, and the fish's tail flicked quickly.But at this moment, a piercing pain hit from the fish's tail.He sucked lightly, turned his head to look at his own fish tail - this was so unbelievable that he felt a chill down his spine.

The tail of the fish was bitten by something. At this moment, the scales of the fish turned outward, and the wounds were all over the place.

Yes, Saru released his pain sense at this moment.But Gawain was brave, he endured the pain and did not tell Crewe, but gritted his teeth and continued to swim towards Crewe.

Although the fish scale was injured, that little injury was not fatal to him.He still needs to catch Crewe first and bring him ashore.

But just as he was getting closer and closer to Crewe, almost touching Crewe's finger, another familiar voice came from his left side - "Be careful! Gawain be careful! Don't touch it!..."

That voice froze Gawain's movements, causing Gawain's head to explode with a bang—yes, the other voice was also Crewe's, but it was more energetic and sharper.

Gao Wen instinctively looked to the left, but before he could see anything, a cloud of thick ink sprayed towards him and Crewe in the crevice of the stone.

In an instant, the surroundings became dark again.

But the darkness didn't last long, Gao Wen's fish tail was caught by the octopus tentacles, and he dragged it out of the ink.

Gao Wen panicked for a moment, and immediately conjured up the trident.But he was still a step too late, Crewe suddenly turned into a mouth full of fangs, and he bit down on Gawain without hesitation.

Gawain was unable to dodge in time, and his left arm was bitten by the monster.He shook off the octopus tentacles, and stabbed the giant monster's cheek with his trident without saying a word.

The troll's skin was so hard, this thorn couldn't even pierce through its skin, but instead made its mouth clenched even harder, piercing its fangs into Gawain's arm more fiercely.

Gao Wen was so painful that his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and blood gushed out.

At this moment, another octopus tentacles wrapped around Gao Wen's waist again.

Gawain thought it was Crewe who wanted to keep dragging him back, and wanted to tell Crewe that he could run for his life and he could handle it alone, but unexpectedly the tentacles became tighter and tighter, and at the same time, it seemed that countless voices kept on Shouting in Gawain's ear - "I'm afraid!...Gao Wen, where are you, I'm afraid!..."

Gawain was taken aback and realized that he was under a spell.But looking back, among the sea people, except for the sea snake family and the octopus family, no one knows how to use body venom or medicine to produce such a strong hallucination.

But in this competition, no one from the Sea Snake family participated at all, and the Octopus family——

Gawain's heart was suffocated, and while pulling his arm, he tried to poke the giant monster's eyes with the trident, and then shouted in the direction where the tentacles stretched out—"Crewe, if it's you, don't meddle! It will kill me, hurry up, hurry up!..."

But the cries for help in his ears didn't disappear, and the tentacles wrapped around his waist didn't relax either.

Gawain managed to poke the giant monster's eyelid, making it let go with a howl, but in the next second he was slammed by the tentacles and thrown to the rock on the right.

All of a sudden, several sharks that had been in ambush for an unknown amount of time rushed towards him.The sharp teeth scratched Gawain's back and the belly of the fish, and one even bit his arm fin, tearing it apart forcefully.

Gawain dodged left and right, trying to escape from the shark's encirclement.But there was another spray of ink, so that he couldn't find Bei at all.

He waved his trident in the dark like a mad pit bull.He immediately rolled up the vortex with the wind spell, but the vortex broke through with the interference of the giant monster and the shark's upstream.

At this moment, a dangerous idea popped up in his mind-that is to use the thunder spell on the bottom of the sea.But because he himself was in the water, as were countless other competitors and passing fish, if he used this spell, innocent people would be hurt—and Crewe would be hurt.

But no, he'll be torn to pieces by these hungry sharks.

He couldn't find out where Crewe was at all, but those ghostly cries for help were like a vortex, bringing his consciousness further and further into the void.

Gawain couldn't think about it anymore. If he was really injured, he could only rescue Crewe as quickly as possible, otherwise neither he nor Crewe would be able to survive.

He plunged the trident into the sandy ground of the seabed forcefully, reciting the eulogy quickly.Lightning flashed from the bottom of the trident in an instant, winding around the body of the trident and Gawain.

The shark wanted to continue attacking him, and the giant monster kept pounced on him again, but the protection from the electric current allowed them to hit the spell wall, before being bounced away by a slight electric current.

The moment Gao Wen finished chanting the incantation, it was as if a depth bomb had exploded on the seabed.

The sound of the explosion could not be heard clearly because it was in the water, but there were still monstrous waves on the sea.

Hua De and Clement slapped the handrail at the same time, blocking a transparent wall in front of the auditorium.The waves hit the wall fiercely, even making the stands and the ground tremble slightly.

The shark was stunned, and so was the troll.Gawain himself felt dizzy and his ears were ringing.

But he didn't forget to look for Crewe, so he quickly lit the fire again and searched around.His whole body fluttered lightly, and his whole body was in excruciating pain.He lingered on the bottom of the sea with all his strength, afraid that he would be dazzled and leave Crewe alone on the bottom of the sea.

But, unfortunately, he did not see Crewe.

He didn't know if it was the order just now that made Crewe run away obediently, he only knew that Crewe was not nearby - even if he opened the cracks in the stone one by one, there was no sign of the little octopus.

And what he saw were the corpses of countless weak fish that surrounded him before.

Within a radius of ten meters, all small and weak fish died.They were floating gently towards the sea at this moment, passing before Gao Wen's eyes.

Gao Wen was dumbfounded.

He froze in place for a while, and then went to the sea together.His heart was full of guilt, especially when he saw so many fish bodies floating around him, he had the urge to not float ashore for a moment.

In order to save Crewe and himself, he did a very cruel thing.In the final analysis, it was because Crewe had done a disservice.

By the time he landed, he must have passed the allotted time well.From nine-forty to ten-forty—he could tell by the way the sun was shining into the sea, it was even nearly eleven o'clock now.

But this is not the result he wants.

He never thought that this assessment would cause him to hurt so many innocent people of the same kind, nor did he think that the chaos created would be so great.

And when he really put his head out of the sea and saw all kinds of marine creatures with their bellies turned everywhere, he was afraid that he would not dare to look directly into the eyes of his parents or audience.

But his tail was still swaying, and he kept going upstream.

Just when the surrounding light was getting brighter and it was about to reach the surface of the sea, suddenly, Crewe hurriedly swam over from the side.

As soon as he saw Gao Wen, he immediately transformed into a half body from the prototype of an octopus.He saw that Gao Wen was covered in wounds all over his body, and he was too scared to speak.

But Gao Wen stared at him vigilantly, and when he was about to touch him, he backed away like an electric shock.

"Fa, what happened... Gao Wen, what happened?" Crewe retracted his palm timidly, but couldn't help asking.

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Don't you know what happened?"

"I... I don't know, you, you were attacked, I, I wanted to save you..." Crewe didn't know why Gawain said that, he answered cautiously and stammered.

He was indeed coming to rescue Gao Wen, and he had rushed over non-stop, but he ran from the south to the east, and then swam from the east to the south, even if he tried his best, it would take him no less than 10 minutes. It ended up being too late.

Not long after he plunged into the sea, he heard a muffled noise, and after that muffled noise, he was dizzy from the shock.After finally regaining his sense of direction, he kept diving down.

Unexpectedly, before he dived for a long time, he saw countless corpses of small fish rushing towards him.

Then, he saw Gao Wen.

In fact, the moment he saw Gao Wen's eyes, he knew that Saru had succeeded.Because Gao Wen was not surprised, joyful, or even tired, only deeply vigilant.

He stared at Crewe, just like he usually stares at the students who made mistakes.

Crewe dared to swear to God that he hadn't done anything, but just as he tried to wrap his arms around Gawain, Gawain threw him away.

"...I don't need you to save me, you will only make more and more chaos," Gao Wen said coldly, suppressing the anger in his heart, and warned—"This is my exam, don't ruin it .”

After speaking, Gao Wen continued to float to the surface of the water without looking back.

Tuliukul looked up in the sea alone with his neck up, until Gawain's figure disappeared into a halo of light.

Saru opened his eyes.His eyes had returned to their normal color, but his back was soaked.

This is the first time he has successfully placed two avatars on the body of the caster—yes, not only the Crewe who hid in the crevice of the stone, but also the one who deliberately sprayed ink to save Gawain It's also fake.

He knew that if he didn't do this, it would be too easy to tell the truth from the fake with Gao Wen's ability.So he used two false images, the two images were opposite to each other, so Gao Wen would believe one of them no matter what.

It turns out he succeeded.His mouth was parched at the moment, and he was so weak that he couldn't even move.

But he still turned his head and showed a smug smile to Elena.

Eileen's eyes flashed with excitement for a moment, and she squeezed Saru's palm tightly, then supported Saru's shoulder, and slowly turned her body.

What they had to do now was to wait for Gao Wen to come ashore. As soon as Gao Wen landed, as soon as the result of the match was pronounced, they could leave the arena with peace of mind.

Saru was not interested in the next written test at all. For him, the test to test his ability was over.
