Picked up a deep sea lord

Ye Jian and Luo Ling looked at me and I looked at you, and finally decided not to hurt each other.

The two stopped in front of the mural, and Ye Jian glanced at the small black fish in the mural again.

Luo Ling immediately reached out and tried to cover his eyes.

What's so good about this ugly fish!

He thought angrily, staring at the little fish with his head tilted.

Looking at it, it is still not as good-looking as him.

but……

Luo Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.

Ye Jian: "?"

The little mermaid was too mean to allow him to look at it just now, but now he is staring at it engrossed?

Ye Jian poked Luo Ling's little face.

Luo Ling puffed up her cheeks, and shook Ye Jian's hand after a few seconds: "Brother, can you come closer?"

Ye Jian hugged him and took a step closer to the mural: "Is that so?"

Luo Ling nodded, straightened up from Ye Jian's arms, and reached for the mural.

His palm was pressed between the murals, just covering the small black fish, and he held it in his palm.

The space in front of Ye Jian suddenly twisted into ripples.

In the next second, the cave disintegrated like a shattered mirror, collapsing rapidly, and his feet were empty.

Swish.

The black wings spread out, although it couldn't drive Ye Jian up into the sky, it was enough for him to maintain his figure in the air and keep falling at a just right speed.

He looked at Luo Ling with a little surprise—just now, they actually escaped from that unknown space and returned to the deep valley of reality.

Luo Ling was also in a daze, as if she didn't expect this to happen.

"Roar--"

The roar from below shook the deep valley, Ye Jian and Luo Ling lowered their eyes.

Under their feet, the ground no more than a hundred meters away was crimson.

The bulging red flesh covered a large area of ​​the mountain wall, beating slightly as if alive.

And in the middle of the valley, countless pieces of meat piled up to form a huge sphere, and bright red liquid continuously seeped out of the sphere, vaguely resembling a heart.

Luo Ling frowned. He felt that this pile of meat was disgusting, and he didn't want Ye Jian to fall on the ground at all.

In his eyes, dirty things are not worthy of contaminating Ye Jian.

Ye Jian was very calm: "It seems that this is the 'nest'."

There are several strange beasts around the nest, and they seem to be affected by the huge piece of meat in the middle, and they are fiercely killing each other.

To Ye Jian's slight surprise, there were three inconspicuous figures among this group of strange beasts.

The three of Gu Mei are fighting bravely with a group of strange beasts.

To be exact, he was unilaterally hunted down by the alien beast.

Their bewildered figures were mixed with the group of alien beasts, exhausted.Fortunately, the first target of the strange beast was not them, but still his own kind.Therefore, there are often a few strange beasts chasing them, and they are attacked by the same kind, or they turn to attack the nearest kind.

Despite this, the three people suffered more and more injuries, and they would soon be unable to hold on.

"Again, hold on for a while longer!" Gu Mei was out of breath, "I'll find the exit right away!"

Al: "But, but—"

Before he finished speaking, a bloody head of a strange beast next to him slammed in front of him.

The red and white cross-section with sticky pieces of meat was right in front of his eyes.

Orr collapsed on the spot: "No way? Is this something I can see without paying??"

As soon as he finished speaking, a low growl rang in his ears.

Orr turned his head in horror, and the strange beast that had just bit off the head of his companion with blood dripping from its mouth was staring straight at him.

Dangerous!

Orr's legs went limp in shock, and his exhausted body finally couldn't support it, and he fell to the ground.

The strange beast rushed towards him.

The black silk thread fell in the air.

strangle.

Gu Mei raised her head abruptly, and met a pair of quiet black eyes.

"..."

She never expected that Ye Jian would appear at such an opportune time, she was surprised and overjoyed and lost her voice on the spot: "Why is it you?!"

Ye Jian: "I didn't come at the right time?"

Gu Mei: "No! You came at the right time!!"

As soon as Ye Jian landed on the ground, two strange beasts rushed towards him.

His eyes were quiet and his body was motionless.

In his arms, Luo Ling raised her eyes indifferently, and there seemed to be blood flowing from the bottom of Sen Han's eyes.

The two beasts froze together, trembling all over.

Ye Jian gently raised her hand again.

This set of coordination was perfect, and in a blink of an eye, the corpses of the two strange beasts lay on the ground.

Luo Ling raised his head, his eyes were as cold as ice just now, but now he had a cute face, and his ear fins were slightly erected.

Ye Jian, praise me quickly!

"So strong," Ye Jian said with a smile, "You are a very powerful little fish."

Luo Ling's eyes brightened slightly.

He could feel that he was becoming more and more proficient in mastering the newly awakened power in his body.

But it's not enough.

These strange beasts can be deterred only because they are too weak, and their strength is between d-level and c-level.

He still needs more strength and becomes stronger.

Luo Ling quietly looked at Ye Jian's profile.

In this way, he can...

"Roar--"

The roar of the alien beast resounded again.

Ye Jian tilted his head, and the blood slowly flowed under the strange beast he and Luo Ling had just killed, and merged into the huge piece of meat in the middle—the bright red piece of meat was beating vigorously like a heart, and the bodies of the surrounding strange beasts trembled violently. They rushed to the nearest companions one after another, actively seeking death.

Gordon thumped in his heart: "What's going on? Are they crazy??"

"No...no..."

Gu Mei's expression was unprecedentedly solemn.

"They're exploding themselves, powering the hive..."

"The nest beast is about to be born!"

As if to prove Gu Mei's words, the piece of meat in the middle finally sucked enough blood and exploded violently.

As the blood rained, Luo Ling's first reaction was to straighten his upper body, trying hard to block Ye Jian.

Ye Jian gently protected him, and the black wings spread out again, enveloping the two of them.

Gu Mei's eyes were numb after being splashed with blood all over her face: "Fuck, I'm so envious."

Under the protection of Hei Yi, Luo Ling blinked and reached out to touch Hei Yi beside him.

Ye Jian put away the black wings with a "shua".

Luo Ling: "?"

"No touch," Ye Jian said solemnly, "unless you let me touch the tail."

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling shrank into Ye Jian's arms with an innocent face: "I can't hear what brother said."

Ye Jian: Uh, stingy fish.

However, he still spread out his black wings again, very generously letting the little mermaid pet him.

Luo Ling raised her hand happily.

The wings woven with black silk threads are cold and thin, trembling slightly with Luo Ling's touch, like a gentle wind.

The touch on his hand was very good, Luo Ling couldn't resist touching it again.

Touch again.

Ye Jian retracted the black wings with a "shua".

Luo Ling raised her head blankly.

Ye Jian was silent for a few seconds, with a strange expression on her face: "I won't touch you."

After speaking, he emphasized again: "No touching in the future."

Luo Ling: "!"

Brother is so stingy!

Luo Ling looked at Ye Jian aggrieved.

Ye Jian was ruthless and unmoved.

"Mr. Ye!"

Gu Mei, who was wiping her face with her sleeve, suddenly spoke out, with indescribable tension in her voice.

Ye Jian and Luo Ling raised their eyes together.

A strange beast bathed in blood stepped out, twice as big as the other strange beasts.

It stared straight at Ye Jian with scarlet eyes, as if it had judged the strongest existence among these people, and was quite afraid of Ye Jian.

Ye Jian narrowed her eyes slightly.

The black color at the bottom of his eyes was deep, piercing through the body of the strange beast coldly.

Black silk threads flowed through the body of the beast, and one of them was looming in the heart of the beast.

Auer's body trembled: "This...couldn't this be a b-level brood beast?"

Gordon's eyes were terrified, and Gu Mei frowned.The three of them backed away again and again, only Ye Jian stood there holding Luo Ling, his expression unchanged.

This is indeed a b-level beast.

As a brood beast, but only a b-level?

Ye Jian looked down at Luo Ling.

Luo Ling whispered: "I want to try."

Ye Jian: "Well, be careful."

Luo Ling concentrated on it, and the coldness gathered in his eyes again, and he cast it coldly on the nest beast.

The hive beast let out a low growl, and shook its head irritably, as if it was affected by some kind of influence.

Gu Mei gasped.

This mermaid seems to be able to intimidate a b-level brood beast!

In that case... it means that his strength has surpassed B-level!

Luo Ling didn't pay attention to the gazes from the side, and cold sweat broke out slightly on his forehead - obviously, it was a bit difficult for him to influence a b-level hive beast.

After all, he is still just a small fish, and he has only awakened part of his strength.

Ye Jian said warmly, "It's fine."

He stroked Luo Ling's head and raised his hand gently.

The black silk thread freed from his fingers, but failed to connect smoothly with the black thread in the nest beast as before.

Luo Ling closed his eyes, the nest beast escaped from the trap, and rushed towards Ye Jian with a roar.

Ye Jian didn't move, he was waiting for an opportunity.

Until the sharp claws of the nest beast were in front of her, Gu Mei's exclamation sounded, and the black line in the middle of the nest beast's heart was clearly visible at the bottom of Ye Jian's black eyes.

His slender fingers moved slightly, like plucking strings.

——The black silk thread shot out like a thunder, and pierced into the heart of the hive beast in just a moment, connecting with the black thread in its heart.

Blood blooms like a rose.

The strange beast collapsed to the ground.

"..."

Luo Ling breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head, and gently leaned her forehead in cold sweat on Ye Jian's shoulder.

Ye Jian felt a little distressed: "Next time, don't force yourself so much."

Luo Ling shook her head: "I want to help Ye Jian."

"Even if you want to help, you must take care of yourself first," Ye Jian said, "Your safety is the most important thing."

Luo Ling whispered: "However, it's not good to rely on Ye Jian's protection all the time. If possible, I want to become a mermaid as soon as possible."

"In this way, I can protect Ye Jian."

Ye Jian was silent for a second, and said, "It doesn't matter, if you don't care about yourself like this next time, I won't buy candied haws for you!"

Luo Ling: "!"

Ye Jian: "And let you drink milk every day!"

Luo Ling: "!!"

As if being struck by lightning, Luo Ling pitifully held onto the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, and said softly, "Okay, I'll follow my brother's orders."

Ye Jian rubbed his hair, and said gently: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, I didn't keep you by my side because you will become very powerful."

"To me, you have never been a small burden, you are a cute little mermaid."

He was worried that the little mermaid would fall into a strange circle, blindly chasing power without caring about himself.

Luo Ling nodded, and pressed her pale face against Ye Jian's, like a kitten snuggling up to a soft blanket, rubbing it softly.

No matter what time it was, Ye Jian was always gentle with him.

Such a Ye Jian would not abandon him... right?

As if looking for some kind of answer, Luo Ling raised his head and stared at Ye Jian for a few seconds, then lowered his head and buried his face in the socket of his shoulder.

The deep valley was quiet, only the lingering smell of blood.Gu Mei on the side muttered: "Is it over, this nightmare..."

Orr cried with joy: "Great, I can finally go back safely and confess to my crush!"

The voice just fell.

A louder roar resounded through the valley.

Orr: "What the hell is going on?!"

Gordon: "Don't talk any more!"

Under the eyes of the three people in shock, the nest that had already exploded unexpectedly gave birth to new flesh and blood, and a new nest beast was born from the flesh.

Gu Mei's pupils suddenly shrank to a point: "Two-headed nest?!"

What made her even more frightened was that this brood beast was much bigger and more ferocious than the one just now. It was soaked in blood, and its mouth was pierced with sharp fangs, just like a giant elephant.

Ye Jian raised her eyebrows slightly, Luo Ling was expressionless, and the three of Gu Mei beside her were slumped on the ground.

Under the coercion, they even lost the strength to stand up.

This... This is definitely not a b-level beast!

Gu Mei trembled all over, and a stormy sea was set off in her heart.

This is A-level... just one A-level beast that can slaughter a city! !

In an instant, her whole body was icy cold, and her blood almost froze.

"...Mr. Ye! Run!!"

Her mind went blank, Gu Mei exhausted all her strength and let out a cry.

"Leave us alone! Run!!"

Gu Mei's hoarse voice fell on Ye Jian's ears, like autumn leaves brushing across the water.

His back is still slender, and the bottom of his jet-black eyes is calm and unruffled.

In this pair of eyes, the black lines in the body of the monster below B level are clearly visible.

However, at this moment, the A-level hive beast was reflected in Ye Jian's pupils, and the black lines between the skin, flesh and bones were only faintly visible.

Even so, he had no intention of leaving.

can fight.

Luo Ling: "Ye Jian, let me—"

"No, it's too risky," Ye Jian shook her head, worried that the little mermaid would get hurt, "I'll try its strength first."

Luo Ling lowered her eyes and said nothing.

The A-level hive beast took a step forward.

The ground shook, and flames shot up from under the hive beast's feet, and the flamboyant flames instantly enveloped its whole body.

The temperature in the air rose rapidly, and Luo Ling shrank into Ye Jian's arms.

He's a mermaid, and too high a temperature makes him uncomfortable.

Ye Jian protected Luo Ling with her arms: "If you feel uncomfortable, just bite me."

Luo Ling whispered: "I don't want it."

He didn't want Ye Jian to get hurt.

Ye Jian knew how stubborn the little mermaid was, so she didn't say much, and turned her eyes to the nest beast again.

As long as it is resolved, Luo Ling will not feel uncomfortable.

The nest beast approached step by step, the flames burning on its body.

The atmosphere is tense and ready to explode.The three of Gu Mei even pessimistically believed that they would die here today.

No matter how strong Mr. Ye is, he is only a b-level watchman, so how could it be possible...

"Roar!!"

In the end, the nest beast was the first to start, and the flames all over its body exploded, and it swooped at Ye Jian with a posture of crushing everything!

What Ye Jian was waiting for was the opportunity to get closer to this brood beast.

His eyes were as deep as a frozen pool, and the threads between his fingers were filled with black air, spreading wantonly to the surrounding area.

At this moment, the three of Gu Mei were horrified to find that there was a burst of severe cold in the scorching temperature.

The black silk thread was sharp and hooked, and the fire was fierce, but it couldn't burn the thread's body.

Ye Jian narrowed her eyes slightly.

He found it.

The deadliest thread that floats between the brood beast's throats.

The black thread pierced through the flames, and connected with the silk thread in the nest beast's body like a bamboo.

Ye Jian hooked the line with her finger, and pulled it inward without hesitation——

Snapped.

The black wire that was originally connected suddenly disconnected.

Ye Jian was slightly taken aback.

Time seemed to freeze in an instant, and a bloody arc suddenly splashed in Luo Ling's eyes.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was Ye Jian's blood.

Ye Jian... was injured.

In an instant, Luo Ling's eyes were as scarlet as blood, and the red light moved violently.

As if some kind of violent and cold emotion instantly occupied his whole mind, he raised his eyes coldly, pointing directly at the brood beast with monstrous anger and killing intent.

At this moment, the space in front of everyone's eyes suddenly twisted strangely.

Ye Jian saw huge waves rolling up from the splashing sea water, pouring down from the heights of the deep valley, like a sky collapse.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, and the wind passed by his ears. After a while, his body was still standing on the ground.

Ye Jian opened her eyes.

As far as the eye can see is a deep blue sea.

Ye Jian: "?"

Luo Ling in his arms disappeared, replaced by countless swimming fish flowing around him, looking down, the bottom of the sea was covered with sparkling corals and shells, like a galaxy falling down.

He floats in the ocean as if he were on flat ground.

Is this... an illusion?

As Ye Jian thought about it, she saw a jet-black fish's tail breaking through the water and swimming towards him quickly.

It's Luo Ling.

Luo Ling still had some uneasiness and panic on his face, obviously he did not expect to be separated from Ye Jian.He rushed over as fast as he could, grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes without a word, and stared straight at his arm.

Ye Jian lowered her head, there was a wound on his arm, not deep, it was left by the strange beast just now.

"It's okay," Ye Jian said, "It will recover soon."

Luo Ling didn't speak.

Ye Jian poked the little mermaid: "Where is this?"

"..."

Luo Ling paused for a few seconds before speaking, wondering if she was in a bad mood, and said in a muffled voice, "It seems...it's an illusion created by me."

"Everything here is a concrete scene based on my memory."

Ye Jian blinked: "It's amazing! Have you awakened your new ability?"

Luo Ling nodded silently, and was rarely happy because of his praise: "But Ye Jian was injured."

His ear fins drooped softly, his eyes were still on the wound on Ye Jian's arm, and he refused to move away.

Ye Jian felt that the little mermaid looked very sad.

Even when her tail hurts, the little mermaid is not that sad.

Ye Jian was silent for a second, and reached out to Luo Ling.

Luo Ling squeezed into his arms without saying a word, the fish tail dangling sullenly.

"Look." After a while, Ye Jian touched Luo Ling's head, "The bleeding has stopped."

He was talking about his own wounds.

The originally not deep wound has recovered into a shallow one, and it seems that it will be completely healed in a few minutes, without leaving any trace.

When Luo Ling realized this, the darkness in his eyes slightly dissipated.

"Then," he said, "Is Ye Jian still in pain?"

Ye Jian: "It doesn't hurt, it's just such a small wound, how could it hurt?"

Luo Ling looked at him. Believe it or not, the arc of the fish's tail flicked a little wider.

The corners of Ye Jian's mouth moved slightly. This little mermaid sometimes had no expression on her face, but her mood was completely exposed by the fish tail.

Well, it's a pity not to touch the tail.

Ye Jian: "Then, how do we get out?"

Luo Ling was silent for a second.

"do not know."

The moment Ye Jian was injured, he was dazzled by anger, and by the time he realized it, a blinding illusion had unfolded.

Now comes the problem.

He's only just learned to let go of the illusion... he won't take it back.

Ye Jian and Luo Ling stared at each other for a while, then said, "It's okay."

"As long as it is your illusion, you can always find a way out."

Luo Ling nodded.

Ye Jian: "Then, let's take a stroll around?"

Luo Ling nodded again.

This illusion is the concrete scene of his memory, his hometown, the beautiful ocean.

The ocean is boundless, but there is no living thing.Swimming fish always disperse at the touch of a touch, only the corals and shells on the bottom of the sea lie quietly, exuding a beautiful luster.

Ye Jian picked up a small shiny shell and placed it on top of Luo Ling's head.

Luo Ling: "..."

Ye Jian smiled: "It's so cute."

As soon as he let go, the shells in the illusion turned into a string of bubbling little bubbles, drifting away.

Ye Jian: "Hey, it's rounder than the bubbles you spit out."

Luo Ling: "?"

Luo Ling: "Not at all!"

After he finished speaking, Gudu Gudu spit out a bubble in order to prove himself.

A barely elliptical bubble.

Ye Jian was shocked.

This little mermaid is progressing so fast.

Actually spit out a bubble that looks much better than before!

Luo Ling was a little proud and raised his face to boast.

"No exaggeration," Ye Jian said slightly, "I want a series of connected heart-shaped bubbles."

Luo Ling was silent.

This is a bit difficult.

However, if he practiced for a while, he would definitely be able to do it!

Luo Ling shook the corner of Ye Jian's clothes again.

He wants to boast!

"Okay, I'll praise you." Ye Jian smiled, "You're a smart little fish."

Luo Ling's eyes curled up, and he spit out another bubble.

This one is not round.

He immediately shook his head, disturbed the water, and pretended nothing happened.

Ye Jian's laughter fell to his ears, and Luo Ling raised his head, fully seeing his smile in his eyes.

He likes Ye Jian smiling at him.

It was very quiet here, only him and Ye Jian, no strange beasts, and no one else disturbed.

In other words, now Ye Jian would only look at him, talk to him, and smile at him.

If only I could stay here forever...

Luo Ling's forehead lightly rested on Ye Jian's shoulder. After a while, the beautiful black fish tail parted the ripples and circled around Ye Jian.

Ye Jian looked at the little mermaid with a smile, and caught a glimpse of something floating in the distance from the corner of her eye.

It's a dark egg.

Ye Jian: "Hey, there is an egg."

He fished it out and took the black egg into his arms.

Luo Ling was stunned.

Ye Jian touched it with her hand, and soon said "Huh", "It's full of bumps, it's not easy to touch at all."

Luo Ling: "..."

Ye Jian looked around again: "It's not black, it looks like a small coal ball."

Luo Ling: "?"

Ye Jian: "Hmm... so ugly, such an ugly egg must be as unpalatable as an egg."

Luo Ling: "..."

Ye Jian found that Luo Ling hadn't said a word, raised her eyes, and met the faint and resentful gaze of the little mermaid.

His first reaction was, why does Luo Ling have such an expression?

In the next second, Ye Jian's expression froze slightly.

He suddenly remembered that Luo Ling seemed, probably, might have told him that when he was a child, he was a pure black egg.

And among the mermaid clan, only Luo Ling had a pure black egg.

Ye Jian fell silent.

After a while, he said softly, "This...couldn't be you?"

Luo Ling didn't say a word, her small eyes became more and more resentful.

Ye Jian: "..."

Oops.

Oops!
