Picked up a deep sea lord

In the daze, Ike heard something.

"He saved us! From a b-level beast!"

"Only relying on him? Is he a b-level watchman?"

"It's really worthy of being a B-level powerhouse, so terrifying!"

"Speaking of which, he's really pretty..."

The wound was painful, and Ike was in a daze. It took a while to realize that he was lying in the carriage and the car was moving.

what happened?

He only remembered sitting in the car with his companions, laughing and laughing, because this is a c-level area, and there are only low-level beasts below c-level, everyone feels safe and there is no danger at all.

Then, their armored vehicle was suddenly attacked and was violently overturned.

And then……

His vision gradually became clearer, and Ike saw many of his companions sitting beside him. They were disheveled, and some of them were still injured.

But everyone is alive, including himself.

Ike couldn't understand what happened. His eyes were dull for a few seconds, and he suddenly noticed that there were not only his companions in the carriage, but also two more people.

One of them was the young man who saved him.

The young man was sitting in a corner of the carriage. Unlike other gray-faced people, his body was not stained with dust, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and his profile was quiet and cold.

For some reason, Ike's face suddenly became hot.

The young man was holding a little boy on his lap. The boy was wrapped in a small blanket, showing a beautiful but indifferent face.

——Luo Ling curled up in Ye Jian's arms unhappily, nibbling on the jerky in small bites.

The jerky was given by the people here, Luo Ling ate slowly, Ye Jian said in a low voice, "Isn't it to your liking?"

Luo Ling swallowed a mouthful of jerky, with bits of meat smeared on the corner of her mouth, her face sullen, and she shook her head.

After eating, I will not be hungry, which is obviously a very happy thing.

But what made him unhappy was that there were many strangers around Ye Jian.

These people were saved by Ye Jian just like him. They all looked at Ye Jian with admiration and gratitude, and surrounded Ye Jian... This made the little mermaid feel very bad.

It was as if Ye Jian suddenly didn't belong to him alone.

"Thank you for saving us."

A woman was sitting next to Ye Jian, with a bandage wrapped around her forehead, and her long brown hair was slightly curly.She turned her head and smiled at Ye Jian.

Luo Ling immediately grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes, and Ye Jian looked down at him without knowing it, and wiped off the meat residue on his soft little face: "It's just a matter of doing it."

The woman showed gratitude and nodded affirmatively: "It can be seen that you are very strong."

Her name is Chen Rao, and according to her words, they are a seven-member explorer team.

Ye Jian didn't know what an explorer team was, but he didn't ask much.

He who has lost his memory is very strange to everything, and asking rashly will only be noticed by others, which will cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, there are seven people here, unlike Mo Sen, who only has one.

Chen Rao asked curiously again: "Are you from the Divine Court, or the forbidden area?"

Ye Jian was silent.

"Divine Court" and "Forbidden Land", he had heard these two words from Mo Sen.

But again, he didn't know what it was.

Seeing that Ye Jian didn't respond, Chen Rao chuckled lightly: "Could it be the one who scattered the fire?"

Ye Jian: "None."

Chen Rao didn't believe it.

This young man is so powerful that he can even lead a weak mermaid through this c-level area. He must be a watchman above c-level, or even up to b-level.

Powerful people inevitably have some secrets, and this is their savior, so she didn't ask any further, but said respectfully, "Where do you want to go? Even if it doesn't make the way, we can send you there."

Ye Jian: "The nearest city, is it okay?"

Chen Rao: "Of course."

She thought for a while and said, "There is a city less than ten kilometers away from here, but it is only a C-level city. Are you sure you want to settle there?"

Ye Jian said nothing.

Chen Rao's heart skipped a beat: Oops, did I offend him by asking too many questions?

In fact, Ye Jian thought to herself: I don't seem to understand what she said.

...Forget it, pretend I understand.

Under Ye Jian's seemingly calm but dazed eyes, Chen Rao said with trepidation: "I have no other meaning, but the specifications of C-level cities are far inferior to those of B-level cities, where the management is loose and there is no order. It is a black market and homeless people. It is a paradise. If you want to settle there, you not only have to bear the pressure of life, but you also have to face the malice of the society.”

Management loose fan, lack of order.

Ye Jian thought to herself, there is such a good thing.

As for the "pressure of life" and the "maliciousness of society" that Chen Rao mentioned later, he didn't really care.

So he said calmly, "It's okay."

After the simple three words fell, Chen Rao knew that he couldn't ask too many questions.

After this short exchange, she felt a little awe of this young man who didn't talk much but had concise words, and at the same time secretly labeled him: the city is quite deep and unfathomable, and he really is a big boss.

"The city is quite deep and unfathomable." Ye Jian was thinking at this moment: how to sneak into that c-level city?

He and Luo Ling's plan was to settle in a city first, and then make further plans after figuring out how to enter the "Twilight Court" in that s-level city.

Of course, it would be even better if he could find a way to restore his memory.

Luo Ling swallowed the last mouthful of jerky, and found that those people finally stopped talking to Ye Jian, and her mood improved a little.

Although there are food and cars here, he still prefers to be alone with Ye Jian.

In that case, Ye Jian would only focus on him, only talk to him, and only pay attention to him.

Luo Ling lay on Ye Jian's shoulder, and Ye Jian's black hair fell down, sweeping across his face, slightly itchy.

Luo Ling's gaze followed the strands of soft black hair for a while...Suddenly he stretched out his hand and pulled it lightly.

Ye Jian lowered her head.

Luo Ling looked at him innocently, empty-handed.

Ye Jian raised her head and looked straight ahead.

Luo Ling pulled his hair lightly again.

Ye Jian lowered her head.

Luo Ling looked at him innocently.

Ye Jian looked up.

Luo Ling stretched out her hand——

Ye Jian quickly bent her index finger and tapped Luo Ling's head lightly.

Luo Ling felt wronged: "I didn't touch it."

"Just hit you on the head," Ye Jian chuckled, "There's no reason."

Luo Ling didn't say anything.

He found that the way Ye Jian looked at him was different from the way he looked at other people.

When facing others, Ye Jian is always a little cold, but when facing him, Ye Jian's eyes will be softer.

This little discovery made Luo Ling raise his eyebrows and flick the fish's tail.

Chen Rao secretly observed their interaction, thinking that this little mermaid is really clingy and always wants to attract the attention of the master, is it because she is afraid of being sold by her master?

It's a pity that as far as she knows, a mermaid, a pet that is weak and attached to its owner, can't escape the fate of being sold... Maybe in the next city, this mermaid will be resold to a good buyer.

Probably because Chen Rao's gaze stayed on Luo Ling for a while, Luo Ling tilted his head and glanced at her without any emotion.

His eyes were dark and dull, making Chen Rao froze inexplicably.

Obviously this is just a weak, immature mermaid, not to be feared at all, but why... She actually felt a little scared? ?

Chen Rao swished one meter to the side.

Ye Jian didn't understand, so she lowered her head.

Luo Ling looked at him obediently and blinked.

Ye Jian: So cute.

After a while, a dusty building group was reflected in the car window, it was the C-level city that Chen Rao mentioned.

Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and got out of the car. Before leaving, she remembered something and turned around: "Do you know this place?"

He described to Chen Rao the source of water that Luo Ling wanted to find.

After hearing this, Chen Rao was stunned: "...What? Is there such a place?"

Ye Jian didn't say anything more.

It seems that the only clue about the water source is the S-level city, the Twilight Garden.

Ye Jian bid farewell to Chen Rao, and Ike in the car looked at his back, feeling lost.

In the end, he couldn't muster up the courage to ask the other party's name.

If we can meet again next time...

Ike thought secretly.

Then I will bravely go forward and talk to him.

.

The dry cold wind rolled up the yellow sand, Luo Ling shrank into the blanket, missing the water source a little bit.

Ye Jian patted him on the back reassuringly: "We will have a place to rest after we enter the city."

Luo Ling nodded slightly.

He is a very special existence among mermaids, even if he loses his reverse scales and leaves the water source, he can still survive—but if he lacks water for too long, he will still feel a little uncomfortable.

Can I take a bath in a human city?

Luo Ling endured the dryness silently, with some anticipation floating in his heart.

I want a bigger pool... Well, if Ye Jian can't find it, a fish tank will do too.

Luo Ling quietly made a wish.

I hope there are a few aquatic plants in the fish tank.

But don't have that ugly fish.

Ye Jian paid attention to Luo Ling.

This little mermaid seems to be short of water, the first thing to do when he enters the city is to find him a big fish tank.

However, would Luo Ling feel lonely staying alone in the fish tank?He remembered that there were not only green aquatic plants in Mosen's fish tank, but also the little fish with swollen eyes.

...Do you want to find some small fish for company with Luo Ling?

Ye Jian fell into deep thought.

There was a checkpoint at the entrance of the dusty city. Two guards, one tall and one short, leaned lazily against the city wall. It was not until Ye Jian approached with Luo Ling in his arms that he slowly stood up straight.

Tall guard: "Name."

Short guard: "You're so pretty."

Ye Jian reported his and Luo Ling's names.

Tall guard: "Where did you come from?"

The short guard: "Beauty, please give me your contact information."

Ye Jian thought for a while: "To the east."

This was a very perfunctory answer, but the tall guard was obviously more perfunctory, and he didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he skipped to the next question: "Age."

Ye Jian was silent, this question was beyond the outline.

He made up a number casually: "Two...nineteen?"

The tall guard showed suspicious eyes: "You look a few years younger."

The short guard: "Hey, you are the same age as me, are you free tonight?"

Luo Ling: "?"

Despite his lack of energy, he popped his head out of the blanket and glared at the short guard at these words.

Ye Jian pulled the blanket to prevent the little mermaid from being exposed to dry air, and at the same time calmly ignored the guard's second sentence: "Can I go in?"

"Yes," the tall guard yawned and stretched out his hand, "The entry fee is ten coins for one person, and a discount for two people is forty coins."

Ye Jian: "?"

Ye Jian looked at the guard, and the guard looked at him rascally: "Why, it's only natural to go to the city to pay the money."

"..."

Ye Jian looked at Luo Ling again.

Luo Ling also looked confused.

After the man and the fish looked at each other briefly, Ye Jian suddenly realized a problem.

A question that neither Mo Sen nor Chen Rao had ever discussed with them, nor did they expect to discuss it with them.

It turns out that you have to pay money to enter a human city.

However, one of him and Luo Ling woke up from the wilderness, and the other soaked alone in the lake when they first saw each other. It seems, probably, maybe...

Oops.

Ye Jian was expressionless.

Miscalculated.

Before entering the human city, he and Luo Ling clearly felt the pressure of life and the danger of society.

That is--

No money.
