Picked up a deep sea lord

Ye Jian tried to pull his finger out.

Who knew that Luo Ling's teeth were sharp, and with a little force, Ye Jian's fingers would be broken.

Ye Jian was silent.

In his sleep, Luo Ling vaguely tasted the taste of blood, and lightly nibbled on him again.

Ye Jian: "?"

In the end, Ye Jian squeezed Luo Ling's small face, and finally freed her fingers.

Luo Ling was still lying on the side of the fish tank, sleeping soundly, not aware of what just happened.

Ye Jian thought to herself: I don't know what this little mermaid dreamed about.

...It can't be candied haws, right?

He touched Luo Ling's head.

As a result, Luo Ling sensed the familiar aura again, and refused to let go of his hand.

The little mermaid seemed very happy, its soft face pressed against Ye Jian's arms and rubbed lightly a few times, gurgling and spitting out a bubble.

Then go back to sleep.

Ye Jian: Hmm... Ugly Bubbles.

A smile flashed across his eyes, and he let the little mermaid put his arm in his arms.Sitting by the fish tank, watching him quietly.

The night passed quickly, and at dawn the next day, Luo Ling opened his eyes.

The wound still hurts, and the brain feels dizzy and a little uncomfortable.

However, it was better than yesterday.

——Moreover, Luo Ling also found that Ye Jian had been with him all the time, and even gave him his arm as a pillow, and his mood immediately rose a bit.

"Ye Jian," the little mermaid didn't want Ye Jian to notice her discomfort, so she said sweetly, "Good morning."

"Good morning," Ye Jian rubbed Luo Ling's hair, "You slept for a long time yesterday."

Luo Ling muttered: "I don't like riding in a car, it's so uncomfortable."

Ye Jian remembered that they had taken the bus several times before, but Luo Ling had never experienced such a situation.

Could it be that the little mermaid was dizzy because the road yesterday was too bumpy?

Luo Ling nodded immediately after hearing Ye Jian's words.

"Okay," Ye Jian said, "I'll hold you when I go back, and you'll sleep as soon as you get in the car."

Luo Ling frowned: "My brother is so kind, I like my brother."

Ye Jian: Cute, pat your head.

He reaches out.

Luo Ling hugged his neck, clinging close to him, rubbing her face into his arms.

When Ye Jian carried Luo Ling out of the tent, she saw Gu Mei with her hands behind her back, circling around his tent suspiciously.

Ye Jian showed puzzled eyes.

"Good morning!" Upon seeing him, Gu Mei immediately stood up straight and coughed lightly as if nothing happened, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Ye Jian: "I didn't sleep."

Gu Mei: "Ah this."

"Then, did you hear any strange sounds?" She tentatively asked, "Or did you see something...unclean?"

Ye Jian looked at her: "Yes."

Gu Mei was startled: "What?"

Ye Jian: "I saw a black shadow beside your tent, floating around."

Gu Mei turned pale with shock.

Ye Jian: "I lied to you."

Then he left.

Gu Mei: "..."

"Ye Jian," Luo Ling raised her head and tugged at the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, "Why did she tell you these things?"

He always felt that Gu Mei's words contained something he didn't know, and it was related to Ye Jian, which made him very concerned.

Ye Jian said: "Last night she suddenly broke into my tent and seemed to notice something strange."

"But she wouldn't tell me, so I don't know."

Luo Ling said "Oh".

He was in a daze for most of the day before, and he didn't know anything about what Ye Jian said.

He just vaguely remembered that last night, his fish tail seemed to be burned by flames, even if he soaked it in clean water, the burning pain could not be relieved by half.

Luo Ling said a little nervously: "Then, did I do anything bad to Ye Jian yesterday?"

He was afraid that when he lost consciousness, he would suddenly attack Ye Jian because he was so tormented by the pain that he couldn't control it.

Ye Jian was imperceptibly silent for a second: "No."

Luo Ling didn't quite believe it: "Really?"

"Really," Ye Jian's ending sound slightly dragged out, "but—"

Luo Ling's heart lifted slightly.

"You talked in your sleep all night yesterday," Ye Jian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "you kept muttering that I want to eat candied haws, and I want to eat a lot of candied haws."

Luo Ling: "?"

Luo Ling said loudly: "Impossible!"

"Really," Ye Jian said with an innocent face, "You started to cry while you were talking, calling brother not to grab my candied haws while crying."

Luo Ling: "??"

"I won't lie to you," Ye Jian said solemnly, "I lied to you like a small fish."

Luo Ling: "???"

Luo Ling's whole fish is bad!

Although he was suffering last night and was very delirious, but, but, he would not be so delirious, right?

... Is Ye Jian lying to him?

Luo Ling peeked at Ye Jian.

Ye Jian looked at him very calmly and honestly.

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling's whole fish was even worse.

Could it be that last night, he really...

Just when the little mermaid was depressed, Ye Jian turned her face away, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Luo Ling: "?"

Luo Ling raised her face in disbelief: "Ye Jian lied to me!"

Ye Jian laughed softly, turned her head to meet the little mermaid's resentful eyes, and spread her hands: "Okay, just kidding."

Luo Ling was furious.

Ye Jian poked the little mermaid: "I'm sorry."

Luo Ling was furious.

Ye Jian poked the little mermaid again: "Don't be angry."

Luo Ling puffed up her cheeks and refused to poke them.

"It's so cute," Ye Jian smiled, "You're a little fish."

Luo Ling still said angrily: "I'm not a little one."

Speaking of this, he remembered the conversation he had had when he first met Ye Jian, and muttered, "When I grow up, I will definitely be taller than Ye Jian."

Ye Jian: "Okay, you will definitely be taller and stronger than me when you grow up."

Luo Ling was a coaxable little mermaid, and immediately lost her temper, she raised her eyebrows and shook Ye Jian's hand.

"At that time, it will be my turn to protect Ye Jian." He said, "I will take Ye Jian back to the sea, so that no matter whether it is a strange beast or a bad person, Ye Jian cannot be hurt."

Ye Jian blinked: "Am I going to live in the sea forever?"

Luo Ling looked at him, and said seriously: "The bottom of the sea is very beautiful, there are sparkles everywhere, Ye Jian will definitely like it."

As soon as he finished speaking, probably because he was afraid that Ye Jian would say "I don't want to go", he grabbed Ye Jian's hand eagerly.

Ye Jian: Um...a one-sided little mermaid.

However, he didn't say anything, but smiled slightly: "Okay."

Luo Ling happily wagged her tail.

In the next second, his expression changed.

Ye Jian: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing," Luo Ling said in a low voice, "I'm hungry."

His wound ached again.

Ye Jian hugged the little mermaid tightly and said, "Go and eat."

Gu Mei's explorer team has a total of three watchers, Gu Mei is C-level, Auer and the rest are both D-level.

After nine o'clock, Ye Jian, Luo Ling and the three watchmen will go to the nearby deep valley together to solve the unformed nest there.

The rest of the explorer team will set up detectors and communicators in the camp as their rear support.

Before departure, a sumptuous breakfast was prepared at the camp.The freshly baked bread has a burnt aroma, and the snow-white milk emits heat.

Ye Jian brought a glass of milk to Luo Ling who was eating bread slowly: "Be careful of the heat."

Luo Ling took a sip and immediately grinned.

Ye Jian: "?"

"It's so bad," Luo Ling complained with a little disgust, "I don't want it."

"Drink more milk to grow taller." Gu Mei said, "And it's very nutritious, especially good for little mermaids."

When Ye Jian heard this, she was going to pour another glass for Luo Ling.

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling looked at Ye Jian pitifully.

Ye Jian felt a little softened by his small eyes, and put down the milk cup: "Okay, then do you want this?"

He picked up a poached egg that had been peeled.

Luo Ling tentatively took a bite.

Eggs obviously tasted better than milk, and this time he didn't grin his teeth, but ate them in bites.

Seeing that Luo Ling liked it, Ye Jian also picked up an egg and tasted it.

A second later, he silently put down half of the eggs.

So unpalatable.

"Eating more eggs can help you grow taller." Gu Mei said, "And it's very nutritious, especially good for adults."

Ye Jian: "..."

He picked up a knife, cut off the part of the egg he bit into, and put the rest on Luo Ling's plate.

Luo Ling secretly moved the unfinished milk to Ye Jian's side.

After breakfast, several people set off and formally marched towards the deep valley.

The climate in the deep valley is humid, and the green vegetation spreads out from the ray of skylight in the valley. As far as the line of sight is concerned, there is only narrow and deep darkness.

Ye Jian walked in the front with Luo Ling in her arms, and Gu Mei behind her was holding a communicator, so she could communicate with the people in the camp at all times.

When everyone stepped into the deep valley, the skylight above their heads was covered by the lonely valley, and the surrounding temperature also cooled down.

Luo Ling suddenly lowered his head and pressed it against Ye Jian's shoulder without saying a word.

Ye Jian lowered her eyes: "Aren't you feeling well?"

Luo Ling shook her head: "No, I... am a little sleepy."

Ye Jian vaguely felt that something was wrong: "But, before you—"

"Brother, don't worry about me." Ye Jian couldn't see Luo Ling's expression clearly in the dark, but could only hear the little mermaid whisper, "I'm really just a little sleepy."

Ye Jian frowned, and Gu Mei who was beside her whispered, "A mermaid is also considered a strange beast. This is a nest, so it will be affected to some extent."

"But don't worry, just like a person who suddenly enters a dark place will lose his sight for a while, he will be able to adapt after a while."

As if to verify Gu Mei's words, Luo Ling gently pulled Ye Jian's hand, and rubbed his palm against his face twice to show that he was really fine.

Ye Jian stroked Luo Ling's head silently, and when she spoke again, her tone became cold: "In that case, let's solve all this quickly."

Gu Mei: "Okay, okay."

In the camp, the few people left behind were busy and circled around a detector.

"Strange, why didn't the alien beast be detected?"

The young assistant said: "Although the nest hasn't been formed yet, those strange beasts should not be dead, right?"

The person in charge of debugging the detector said: "If you probe deeper, don't be careless."

The assistant nodded and pushed a lever.On the greenish screen of the detector, a yellow ripple quickly expanded and circled along the image of the deep valley.

Suddenly, the detector beeped, and the color of the yellow ripple also turned darker in just a few seconds, turning into a blood-like bright red.

The assistant was surprised: "What's going on? Is the instrument malfunctioning?"

"No...it seems..."

The person in charge murmured first, then realized something, and his face suddenly became terrified.

"Contact the captain quickly! Tell them to retreat quickly!"

"This is no ordinary nest! This is—"

drop.

Gu Mei found that the communicator in her hand suddenly failed.

She was slightly surprised, and immediately opened the communication bracelet: "What's going on?"

"There is no signal," Orr shook the communicator, "but the last message from the camp is that no strange beast has been detected."

He found that the communication bracelet could not contact the outside world, and raised his head: "Captain, what should we do now?"

Ye Jian turned her head. Although she couldn't see clearly in the dark, Gu Mei could clearly feel his gaze without any emotion.

Gu Mei rolled her throat and pinched the communicator: "The most urgent thing is to find the 'nucleus' first."

"The corpses of the alien beasts in the nest will condense into nuclei, and finally the nest beasts will be born from the nuclei."

"Since no alien beasts have been detected, it means that all the alien beasts are dead. As long as we get rid of the nuclei before the nest beasts come out, we can still achieve our goal."

Ye Jian: "Where is the nucleus?"

"Generally speaking, they are all in the deepest part of the nest." Gu Mei said, "Believe me, it is definitely easier to solve the core than the strange beast."

Ye Jian didn't speak, but bowed her head.

Luo Ling nestled in his arms, falling into a drowsy sleep, her ear fins softly rubbing against his face.

Only then did Ye Jian say, "Lead the way."

Gu Mei: "Well... let's go this way."

A group of people walked deep, the surrounding light gradually decreased, and in the end, it was almost pitch black.

Surrounded by moist and dense vegetation, the shoes creak slightly on it.Orr looked around, and suddenly coughed dryly: "I always feel very quiet, and there are no strange beasts around, which is really different from the outside."

"We'll make it back safely, right?"

Dead silence, dead silence.

No one pays attention to him.

Al touched his nose and said, "Shall I sing a song to ease the atmosphere?"

"...You better stop talking." A D-level watchman named Gordon next to him whispered, "What if there is a trap set by a strange beast here?"

"Haha, the strange beast has no brains, how could it set a trap?"

aldo.

"Besides, it looks very safe here—"

Before the words fell, everyone's feet were empty.

Ye Jian: "..."

Gu Mei: "..."

Al: "Ahhh—!"

Amidst the screams, everyone fell uncontrollably like birds with broken wings.

Ye Jian's expression remained unchanged as the sound of hunting wind rolled over his ears, and he closed his eyes gently.

Behind him, the space rippled like water, and countless pitch-black silk threads emerged from the void, entangled and intertwined docilely and silently, quickly forming a pair of thin black wings.

The black wings that were several meters long spread out, Ye Jian stabilized his figure in the air, looked at Luo Ling who was still peaceful in his arms, the black wings fluttered lightly, and flew straight into the sky.

At the same time, Luo Ling, who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes, the bottom of which was bloody and scarlet.

He stared at one place in silence.

That was Ye Jian's neck.

Under the pale and graceful neck, there seemed to be a warm liquid flowing.

As if an evil beast smelled a seductive breath, Luo Ling's eyes narrowed slightly without emotion, and after a while, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit Ye Jian's neck——

The next second, he stopped abruptly, struggle and pain flashed in his eyes, and he bit his arm back.

Blood gushed out in an instant.

Ye Jian: "!"

He lowered his head in shock and smelled a strong smell of blood.

It was the blood of his little mermaid.

The light in the middle of the deep valley was dim, and Luo Ling didn't know that Ye Jian had noticed his movements, so he raised his face innocently and said softly, "Brother, I'm fine."

Ye Jian: "..."

The next second, the black wings behind him collapsed uncontrollably, unable to lift the two of them up into the sky.

Luo Ling blinked.

Oops.

Now something seems to be wrong.

The howling wind cut across their sides, and Ye Jian and Luo Ling, who were constantly falling, looked at me and I looked at you, looking at each other without saying a word.

After a while, Luo Ling said cautiously: "Brother, what should we do now?"

Ye Jian thought for a while: "The expression is calm and smiling."

Luo Ling: "Can I be saved this way?"

"Do not."

Ye Jian was expressionless.

"It's a better way to die."

Luo Ling: "..."
