Chapter 272

From the appearance, it can be seen at a glance that the screaming girl in front of him is a sea-dwelling species.

Sea-dwelling species generally live on the shallower sea floor. Their upper body is that of a human being, and the legs below are the tail fins of a fish.

Their ecology is extremely special. First of all, because there are too many water elves in their bodies, they cannot leave the sea for a long time. However, when they are in the sea, they can even become one with the water, gaining extremely high stealth and not being discovered by other races.

The second particularity is that they are a female-only race. In other words, their reproduction requires "males of other races" to complete.

If you accidentally fall into the sea and encounter a sea-dwelling species, if you are a male, you will 100% be charmed and have your essence (soul) drained to death in order to breed offspring.

But it seems that among the known information, there is no more information about sea-dwelling species, except that the opposite sex will be charmed and consumed to death.

Since they cannot live on land, they are not very excited about this [war], and they even say they have no interest at all.

The racial sequence is the last of the fifteen races, which means that their adaptability to elves is worse than the orcs who cannot use magic, and they can even only rely on racial talents.

The risk level is also the lowest compared to other races...probably to the extent that as long as you get ashore, you are safe.

So it seemed like she was the one who was scared from the beginning.

"——Ahhhhhh!!"

"Stop barking!"

The fierce-looking guy in front of him drew a knife and pointed it at himself, but he spoke the language of sea dwellers.

"Answer my questions truthfully, or I'll kill you."

Under the inexplicable purple light, the blade in the man's hand sent a frightening pressure to her. She couldn't move at all. Her mouth seemed to be forcibly closed together, and the scream was cut off from the source.

The sea-dwelling girl who was pointed at by Cheng Rang with the knife froze as if she had been frightened. She closed her mouth obediently and nodded lightly with the smallest amplitude.

The ultimate release of the sword completely suppressed the sea-dwelling girl's ability to move. Cheng Rang asked, "Where are your companions?"

She seemed very disturbed and shook her head continuously.

"Only you?"

(nod)

"Why are you here?"

The girl hesitated for a moment and shook her head slowly.

"have no idea?"

(nods again)

ha? She is the only one, why is she here? How can it be!

"What are you following me for?" Cheng let the original intention in his hand be coated with a layer of white light, and the blade was suddenly extended a lot, leaving only an inch away from the girl's throat. This made her subconsciously raise her chin, and her expression became even more frightened. .

"Umm...ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo could can guys's babies."

The heavy pressure from death caused tears to overflow from the girl's moving eyes, and she couldn't stop her body from shaking and crying.

"..."

Cheng Rang stared at the crying girl in the water with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly. It was difficult to classify her as an existence that could pose a threat to himself and other humans.

And the guilt of "making the beautiful girl cry when I met him" began to grow in my heart.

[Ding, due to the skill effect of "Strength of Will", the player is immune to the abnormal state: "Charm of the Siren"]

But the system prompt that sounded immediately made Cheng Rang wake up immediately, and the weapon he unconsciously put down in his hand was placed on the girl's neck again.

"Don't cry. Put away your damn charm. It's ineffective on me."

But even though Cheng Rang was so threatening, the crying girl still couldn't stop completely. Her face turned pale and she could only bite her lips with all her strength, but she still made choking sounds from her throat from time to time.

"Ask me one last time, what are you doing with me?"

Cheng Rang spent a lot of time in the water, but there was no system prompt during this period. It was not until the girl started crying that the immunity prompt came.

There are roughly two possibilities. One is that she has been following him secretly, looking for opportunities, but she may have been frightened by her sudden appearance from the water, so she chose to observe secretly.

One is that she was not attracted by the noise until she landed on the beach, maybe because she was nearby. It was not until the light of the lottery machine illuminated the nearby area that she was exposed.

However, Cheng Rang never expected the girl's behavior afterwards...

I saw her reaching out her hand from the water and pointing timidly to the side.

Cheng Rang looked in the direction and saw that they were ten packages of exquisite fish feed that he had just kicked into the water. They were floating on the water, swaying with the ripples caused by the girl's movements.

Without bothering to check the other items in the lottery machine, Cheng Rang first freed up his hand to put the nine blue light balls on the ground into his backpack, and then raised the purple prop light ball for lighting.

As long as you don't pinch it open to see what's inside or conduct the next lottery, it seems that this purple prop light ball will keep lighting up...

Even though my face is so dark that I can only use it as a guarantee, but it is surprisingly useful for lighting in this kind of environment.

Cheng Rang picked up a bag of "exquisite fish feed" with the tip of his knife and threw it into the water in front of the girl.

"Want to eat this?"

She seemed to be afraid of herself, but she still nodded firmly, staring at the packaging bag in front of her.

No matter how you look at it, this is a foodie attracted by food! It has nothing to do with yourself!

"Hungry..." The first sentence of dialogue that could be understood finally came from the girl's mouth.

The corners of Cheng Rang's eyes twitched suddenly.

You have a knife on your neck, but you still say you're hungry when it looks delicious? You can have some fun, girl!

"Why...."

As if feeling helpless for the girl who reacted like this, Cheng Rang sighed and put away the long knife in his hand.

"Take it away and eat it. It's useless if I keep it. I'll just make you angry if I see it..."

This race, which can't even move on land, wouldn't do any harm even if they let go, let alone follow them to the settlement, which is far away from the sea.

It seems that he can't use magic very much. He only has passive charm ability. He is completely immune to it and poses no threat.

The girl who got Cheng Rang's permission slowly grabbed the packaged fish feed in front of her. Her eyes were still warily staring at Cheng Rang who was sitting cross-legged. It wasn't until she realized that he really didn't move that she suddenly opened her mouth to bite. To the bag in hand.

"Aww...!"

.....The bag appears to be secure and has not been chewed open.

However, the sea-dwelling girl holding the bag didn't seem to tear it open, but just gnawed at it. After finally finding that she couldn't eat the food inside, she turned to Cheng Rang for help.

"Ugh...I can't eat...!"

He looked tearful, as if he was aggrieved and about to cry again.

Regarding such behavior, Cheng Rang said that he could no longer be speechless. He couldn't help but slapped his face and murmured:

"So, you sea dwellers... are all idiots?"

First, he destroyed the mecha that wanted to mate, and now this sea-dwelling species that can't even tear off its packaging and can only scream. If the group of people who weren't vampires really launched an attack on him, Cheng Rang was afraid. Don't think this war is just a joke!

Chapter 31 Blue

Four empty bags were scattered on the water. It was not until she finished the fifth bag of exquisite fish feed produced by the system in her hand that the sea-dwelling girl rubbed her belly with satisfaction and floated on the water, reflecting Caihua's scales. Wrapping her entire lower body, the huge fish tail gently flapped the water, looking so comfortable.

"I am full?"

"Hmm~!"

"Go away when you're full. Save the rest for your next meal. I've taught you how to open the package."

Hearing Cheng Rang's words, the girl stood up from the water, stared at him with doubtful eyes, and then frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

"...This is delicious. Is there any more?" She swam in the water, collected the remaining five bags of fish feed in her arms, and asked softly.

Cheng Rang sighed suddenly, held his forehead and said, "No more! So let's go...before I change my mind and kill you."

"....?"

At this time, the girl didn't seem so afraid of Cheng Rang's threat, but she still shrank her shoulders and asked cautiously: "Why...kill Ai Xue'er?"

Ai Xueer, the girl calls herself this, this should be her name.

"Why?" Listen

Cheng Rang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Because this is war."

"war....?"

As if she was unfamiliar with this term, the sea-dwelling girl——Ai Xueer showed a confused look.

"War...what is it?"

Asked something like this.

Hey, are you kidding me? Could it be that you sea dwellers don't know what this war that has been going on for who knows how long is going on?

"Ai Xueer... entered [frozen sleep], and when she was very young... she woke up and was here."

"Freezing sleep? What is that?"

...

According to Ai Xueer, shortly after she was born, and even after she learned to speak, her mother pushed her into a large shell.

"Ai Xue'er, stay alive! As long as you use this method... you won't be discovered by them..."

"Mother..."

"Stay alive, Ai Xueer..."

That day, the blue sea surface that shone like a gem disappeared, replaced by a dark red that seemed to be burning. Her mother hugged herself tightly and rubbed her cheek reluctantly.

"I love you."

Ai Xueer only remembered that the temperature of the surrounding seawater was warm and comfortable...but her mother seemed to feel very cold, and her body kept trembling.

【Freezing Sleep】

This is the innate ability of sea-dwelling species, which can reduce their life activities to the lowest point, and even sleep for a thousand years as if they are dead.

But it seems that besides being able to quickly pass the time, freezing sleep has no more uses.

When the shell was closed, the last thing Ashelle could see was her mother's amber eyes.

There seemed to be a lot of complicated emotions in it, but I couldn't understand what was happening at the time...

"Just listen to mom."

Thinking like this, Ai Xueer entered [frozen sleep] in the shell.

I didn't even decide how long I would sleep for.

The temperature in the shell gradually cooled down, and the girl who entered eternal sleep was carried by the ocean current and drifted in the ocean. I don't know how long it passed like this.

It wasn't until there was a very violent jolt... like being rolled around in a washing machine that Ai Xueer woke up.

Open the shell slightly and look out - darkness, darkness, so dark that you can't see your fingers.

There is nothing around.

Due to living on the seabed, sea-dwelling species still have very good night vision, but in places where there is no light at all, they are still blind.

"Mother...?"

Got no response.

"It's so dark in here...Mom...where are you?"

His cry still received no response. In this endless darkness, he was the only one left.

Ai Xueer retreated into the shell with some fear, feeling helpless and afraid of the complete darkness and unknown environment. Don't even know how much time has passed.

The beautiful blue sea like gems disappeared, and his mother was no longer around. There was no light, no food, nothing.
