Mermaid Reef

Will The Fiend reject the glowing bait?

No.

Who could say no to just waking up to the sight of a shimmering thing dangling from its lair?

Even if you don't like ants, if you don't have curiosity, you will feel bored.

The evil god has a strong sense of territory.

Usually, except for the same kind and relatives, very few ants will approach the main body.

So small, so slow... Really don't want to stretch out your paws?Don't want to crush and restore the tranquility of your den?

Jason thought about it for himself, and firmly believed that no evil god could ignore the glowing bait.

Especially the new god in this cave, its aura is perfectly hidden.

When its body is huddled in the cave, humans will only be slightly affected, feeling dizzy and nauseous.

Only when the tentacles and body of the new god are less than one meter away from the human beings, the adverse reaction of encountering the evil god will occur-Juan once described to Jason that he entered the cave on the first day and heard a strange rustling sound , felt unwell all over, had a severe headache, and ran away in fright—at that time, this centipede-like evil god was probably separated from Juan, Teregin, and Rota by a layer of mud and rock walls.

It's not a head-on encounter, but an overlapping position in the two passages of the maze.

The distance between Juan's exploration team and the evil god is the thickness of the rock and soil between the two passages.

Fortunately, Juan reacted quickly and did not enter the "death range".

There is such a circle of fatal danger to human beings and other creatures around each evil god body.

There are also invisible scales inside the circle. The innermost circle represents the indiscriminate massacre of other species except for the evil gods. Then there is the scale that mutant creatures and excellent investigators can reach. The third is the life-saving scale for ordinary investigators. At the fourth level, it is the turn of other human beings, and there may be other more complicated biological standards on the earth behind. At least elephants and chickens are not on the same scale, and birds and insects are not a standard.

This is not a conclusion made by evil gods, but human mystic scholars.

As an evil god, Jason wanted to add a sentence to this classic, but he made a mistake.

The scope of the evil god's influence is not the innermost circle at all, but a larger circle, which is too big for human beings to imagine.

This circle usually coincides with the territory of the evil god.

Why do human beings feel that the scale of the sudden death of insects, the evil god standing there will not feel the existence of another evil god?The evil god's senses are sharper!

Jason flipped through the book again, oh, human mystics wrote this knowledge point to study the "fatal circle" rather than "the range that produces bad reactions", that's okay.

However, whether it is Jason's "common sense of evil gods", the "common sense of investigators" learned by Juan from the dream, or the "common sense of scholars" learned by Professor Terekin from the occult classics, they all have the same relationship with this new cave god. sorry.

Its dangerous range is a single lap.

Whether it's evil gods, mutated creatures, humans, animals, insects... they are all "discovered" at the same distance.

Sounds very fair.

To be fair, these five scales are all divided equally.

With humans as the dividing line, investigators with super-high willpower could barely get to the first half of the team and survived by chance. Ordinary humans fell into the second half of the team and died suddenly on the spot.

That's how Juan's first encounter with the new god of the cave was.

But the second time is a trap.

On the surface of the Arabian Mountains, the shadows were like a puff of smoke, and like an opaque black plastic bag, drifting into the cave with the mountain wind.

Gemil doesn't like caves unless they are well echoed and well constructed.

He doesn't like this kind of narrow and dark underground cave with many forks.

According to Poseidon's aesthetics, this mountain has long been eroded into a hollow by flowing water, so the supporting body should be kept, and all other things that should be knocked should be knocked out, and then the excess rock and soil should be discarded, carefully modified according to the echo structure, and finally moved away. The Bekaa Mountain is placed in the Antarctic, and the howling wind penetrates the large and small holes in the mountain. Isn't this another new music hall?

The cold is also in line with Jason's preferences, and it can also control the thickness of the ice layer and carve out wonderful patterns.

Gemil thought seriously.

Soon he abandoned the plan, for he did not have the fine hand of Thoth, the god of wisdom.

It's all because Thoth left the earth.

After Gemil's avatar shadow entered the cave, it penetrated the soil layer rock at the fastest speed.

The evil cave god caught by the vines sensed Gemil's breath and struggled again in a panic.

The vines stopped dragging at all, and pressed the guy tightly across the ice.

"boom."

The entire mountain trembled between the power tug-of-war between the two evil gods.

"Why is this guy so strong?" Jason wondered.

If it weren't for the deceleration and stagnation effect of ice and time, Jason might be dragged by the evil cave god to run wildly in the cave, and then there would be a dilemma where the new god couldn't get rid of Jason, and the vines couldn't grab the centipede.

Shadows silently covered the sky above this passage.

New God's struggle suddenly stopped, trembling.

The coercion and negative influence of the ancient gods made it lose its ability to resist.

"……Is that it?"

Is it the new god who escaped from the rock palace on Quicksand Island?Although Jason was almost sure of this answer, he still had to confirm it with Gemil.

Gemil didn't answer.

The vines unwind and form a net that hangs around the rock face.

Jensen was staring at the enemy in a fighting form, when suddenly his body was touched by the shadow, and then they merged into one body without gaps like flowing water.

Jensen stretched out a vine tentacle from the shadow cloak strangely, and asked incomprehensibly, "Is it difficult to deal with?"

What does Fusion do?

"It was you who said that you didn't want to expose your true body in front of other evil gods."

"Ok?"

Jason remembered his decision, but—

"Isn't this the repair material for the rock palace?" Jason tapped the ice shell with his vine tentacles, and asked wonderingly.

I have already discussed how to kill it, and I still care about how many secrets it sees?

Jason was puzzled: "...and it has no brains like Gray Butterfly."

Gemil: "..."

No, it's not for this reason. In fact, when Gemil was watching the excitement just now, he suddenly realized that he didn't like watching Jason fight with his real body at all.

——Those vines are very powerful, and the strange reef that has been tightly entangled has a say!

——The jagged spikes on the vines are highly toxic and powerful, and can penetrate the limbs. It is a wonderful experience when the scorching heat burns all over the body, and the mermaid has a right to speak!

Even if the vine ball shrinks its trunk to cover the core flower disc during the battle, the jelly-like flower disc covered with golden particles is not only Jason's weakness, but also his strongest point. This position means that the vines completely entangle the enemy, which is the best In the position where the force is exerted, Jensen will completely crush the prey that falls into his "embrace".

That kind of scene is unbearable when Gemil thinks about it for a while.

No no no, anyone of the same kind that comes into contact with the arms of your beloved should be instantly shattered into pieces.

No, don't touch it even if it's broken into pieces!

Sensing Gemil's mood swings in the fusion state, Jason, who has insight into the truth: "..."

Vines leaped out of the shadows angrily.

"What are you thinking? There is still a layer of ice between me and this guy?"

Ice is still a mixture of Jensen's and Gemil's powers!

Gemil replied vaguely: "Ice is useful, I know."

If there was no ice layer, he would have rushed in a long time ago, why would he wait until now?

The vine continued to poke at the shadow angrily.

This time, the shadow did not blend in along the tentacles of the vines, but made a small pit in a very cooperative way, as if it was a piece of meat from the belly of a giant whale.

The vine froze, trying to poke deeper again.

The shadow sank simultaneously, and twisted its floating posture, pretending to be pushed back again and again by the vines.

"...Take it away quickly! I still need to see how the investigator is doing." Jason weakly retracted the vine tentacles, and turned back into a human incarnation.

"Juan is not dead."

"Nearly died."

Jason emphasized that it is very difficult to save fragile humans from the mouth of an evil god who is so fast and weird.

We can neither let this human being die because of being too close to the evil god (throwing the canoe), nor let the human being be crushed to death by falling cave debris, nor let the new god escape...

"That area is too deep, humans can't breathe, and they will die if they are in a coma for too long."

Jason handed the spoils to Gemil, turned around and walked deep into the cave.

This time there was no need to pretend to be a human being. He quickly arrived at the place where Juan was unconscious, and found that the investigator had fine wounds all over his head and face, his forehead was hot, and his breathing was weak.

Looking up again, Terekin and Rota not only failed to find the exit to the ground, but were also trapped in the same passage deeper than the camp of the flood, and because the new god struggled to escape and hit the rock wall just now, the passage led back and forth. They were all blocked by stones, and there was no way to go.

Forget it, let's take the three of us to the ground together.

***

There was a dead silence in the stone outpost originally built on the opposite side of the mountain, and the windows were blocked by heavy canvas.

The tables and chairs were overturned on the ground, and there were still two bloody corpses lying on the ground.

A man hid behind the cabinet, trying to restrain the strange noise from his throat, and scales appeared on the surface of his skin.

At the door stood two soldiers holding wooden bins, staring at the back of the cabinet with panicked faces.

Bullets were firing in the empty room, and it was very lively.

Jason stood silently behind them.

"Who?"

The soldier who was about to change the magazine suddenly saw the figure behind him in the reflection of the wooden barrel.

He screamed uncontrollably, turned quickly and rushed towards Jason.

His willpower was on the verge of collapse, but his reaction speed and crisis response still showed a strong aura. He pulled out his tactical dagger, and another soldier raised his weapon and fired in the direction of Jansen.

But these attacks seem to have fallen into an invisible vortex. The distance from their position to Jansen is less than half a meter. One person sprinted with a dagger for a minute and did not get there. The bullets fired by the other person came from various strange angles. It hit the ceiling and the wall, like a huge and strange symbol.

"Snapped."

The gate of the outpost was slammed shut.

Two soldiers stood outside the door in a daze, one of them pulled the trigger in vain, the empty wooden barrel made a mechanical click, and the dagger in the other's hand stuck into the wall, and he couldn't pull it out no matter what.

"Huh, drink..."

There was a strange sound.

The mutated creature covered in scales huddled in the corner of the corridor, as if it didn't understand why the cabinet disappeared and why it appeared here.

The two sides stared at each other with wide eyes at the same time, and then they broke out a round of conflict.

The screams and roars gradually faded away.

Behind the wooden door, the airflow swirled in the outpost, and the corpse quickly weathered and turned into a pile of gravel.

Jason opened the window, and three people as heavy as sacks "floated" in.

There is no way, the entire camp has collapsed, and there are ruins and traces of floods everywhere. Only this house is complete and can keep out the wind and cold.

After confirming that the investigator would not die, Jensen left the building.

He found that Gemil was still quietly watching the new god from his original position.

"Why not take it away?" Jason asked suspiciously.

"This guy... has a problem."

The shadow cloak assumed a state of thinking.

"what is the problem?"

Jason really felt that this new god had a lot of weirdness. First of all, it was very legendary when it was born, and then it liked to ambush, hide, and sneak attack, and finally it seemed to have the problem of cannibalism.

——What do ants eat?

In fact, most evil gods don't eat humans. It's not that they don't like humans, but that most creatures turn into blood mist before they reach them.

Cave God's deadly range is thin, which gives it the potential to hunt.

The moment when human beings explode into blood mist, or go crazy, they can just fall into His mouth or be bitten by it.

Jason found it strange but didn't delve into it. After all, this is an "unnatural" evil god.

"No, the experiment of Thoth, the God of Wisdom, may have exceeded our expectations." Gemil pondered.

Jason didn't understand.

Gemil said in a low voice, "This new god born from the garbage dump looks very much like an ancient god, an ancient god who has been dead for many years."

Jason wondered: "The ancient god is resurrected?"

"No." Gemil looked at the new cave god contemptuously and said, "The gap between it and that ancient god is like that between ants and humans."
