If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

Hotaru and the others followed Ibaraki out of the warm and safe shell. It was dark outside, and even the lantern fish wandering around were gone. Only a glimmer of light appeared from the unclosed shell.But the only glimmer of light was also blurred in the dark sea water, making it impossible for everyone to see what was happening in front of them.

"Father, mother, it's so dark, it's so dark here, where are you?" The voice as soft as a cat sounded again in the darkness, and the trembling in the voice made people clearly feel the fear in her heart.

Yingcao's face was full of worry, but the front was deep darkness, with no light at all, and she didn't know what would happen if she rushed forward.

Ibaraki narrowed his eyes slightly, standing at the junction of light and shadow, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

"Firefly grass." Ibaraki said suddenly.

"Here!" Yingcao was taken aback and immediately straightened her back.

"Don't you shine?" There was a smile in Ibaraki's voice, but Yingcao, who was too nervous, couldn't hear it.He slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, Yingcao quickly waved the dandelion in her hand, and a faint green light lit up in the darkness.But this faint light only illuminated a small area, and only Yingcao's own body could be seen clearly, and even Hannya's face beside her was blurred, not to mention other people farther away.

Ibaraki took a step forward and took Hotaru's hand, pulling him towards him.After recovering his memory, Ibaraki took his hand again, and this realization made Hotaruca excited.Yingcao's face turned red suddenly, and the blood all over his body seemed to rush towards his brain, making him unable to think.

Hotaru struggled weakly, but did not break away from Ibaraki's strong hand.Yingcao felt particularly uncomfortable with such close contact, holding his hand strong and enveloping his entire body, the dry temperature of his palm gave him the illusion of being burned.

Ibaraki saw that Yingcao was silent, and the hand in his palm was struggling weakly, so he said, "Although you are weak, you are still quite useful. Come closer, so I can barely see clearly."

Yingcao calmed down a little. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to the four people beside him and said, "You guys should also get closer."

Hannya, who was closest to Yingcao, walked a little forward, took the hand that Yingcao extended, and then extended his hand to the remaining three people: "Although we can see better with the light of Yingcao, But it's too dark here, it would be bad if they got separated."

The little deer man held Banruo's outstretched hand without hesitation, and the other hand held Han Xiu tightly.Although Jiaotu was a little scared, he still grabbed Han Xiu and followed them.

Although Ibaraki was unhappy seeing this, he didn't say anything. After all, what Prajna said was indeed reasonable.

"Don't, don't come near me!" The weak voice became sharp and harsh, as if something was already standing in front of her and was about to grab her.

Yingcao's heart tightened, and her hands clenched unconsciously.Ibaraki glanced at his white hand that had been strangled, and walked directly towards the place where the sound came from, leading Yingcao without saying a word.

"Who is it? Who are you?" The girl's terrified voice was close at hand, but the faint light could not reach the small world not far away.

Yingcao grabbed Ibaraki and stopped in her tracks: "Don't be afraid, we are here to help you, have you encountered any difficulties?"

The girl's voice suddenly disappeared, and Yingcao couldn't help taking a step forward.

"do not come!"

Yingcao didn't hear the viciousness in the girl's flustered voice, and he continued to walk forward slowly, saying comforting words: "If you want, you can stay in the shell with us for one night."

"Don't come here again!" The girl seemed to be under great threat, her voice was full of panic.In the darkness, the girl's hand touched the sharp sword beside her.The next moment, the aura around her suddenly changed. She hid in the darkness and held the long sword firmly.

"Go away!" The originally weak voice was full of explosive power, and in the darkness, no one saw the sharp Taidao raised high.Ibaraki was keenly aware of the change in the water flow, and with a firm grip on Hotaru's hand, he pulled him back.

The sharp Taidao cut through the sea water, and the sharp tip barely stopped on the tip of Yingcao's nose.When Yingcao was still in shock, Ibaraki let go.

A strand of blue hair slowly fell and landed on Ibaraki's raised hand.Ibaraki grabbed the lock of hair, staring at the front of the darkness with bright yellow eyes, the light in the eyes flickered on and off.

"Go away!" The panic in the girl's voice disappeared, leaving only a dangerous breath.

How is this going?Could this girl lure them out on purpose?Is she the legendary monster?

Just as Yingcao was about to continue asking, a cold hand grabbed his wrist.Yingcao's words were all stuck in her throat, and the green light suddenly dimmed, just like Yingcao's mood.In the darkness, Yingcao turned her head stiffly, only to see Jiaotu grabbing his hand nervously: "Don't get any closer."

Yingcao let out a long sigh of relief, and gently patted Jiaotu away and grabbed his arm: "Okay, I won't go any further."

Jiaotu put down his hand when he heard the words, and Yingcao did not go any further as he promised, so he stood there and asked softly, "Who is there?"

"You called me?" The girl's voice in the dark became treacherous, completely different from the frightened voice before.

Yingcao was frightened by the maliciousness hidden in the words, and couldn't help taking a step back.The girl hiding in the darkness showed all her fangs, and the sound of footsteps approached little by little with the sound of metal colliding.

"Stay out of the way." The deep voice seemed close at hand.Feeling the danger, Ibaraki raised his head suddenly, his bright yellow pupils instantly turned into vertical pupils, staring fixedly at the girl who walked out.The slender and sharp sword is already in sight.

At the critical moment, the hand of hell that suddenly appeared rolled up a huge vortex, separating everyone from the sword at a safe distance.

"Go to hell!" The girl in heavy armor completely appeared in front of them, holding the end of the sword.The long and narrow Taidao exploded in an instant, and the huge blade did not affect its sharpness at all. It split the vortex in an instant, and slashed towards Yingcao and others.

Taidao's speed was too fast, and Yingcao had no time to react, and the gleaming blade had already come into view.At this moment, Yingcao was so stiff that she couldn't even raise the heart of resistance, and could only watch the blade getting closer and closer in a daze.

Ibaraki saw that something was wrong with Yingcao, so he picked up Yingcao's collar, turned around and held him in his arms.

The sound of the blade piercing the flesh rang in the ears, and Yingcao, who was being protected by Ibaraki in her arms, instantly widened her eyes.Viscous liquid flowed from Ibaraki's back and flowed onto Firefly.The scorching temperature seemed to burn Yingcao's skin, and Yingcao felt the thick blood flowing through her body very clearly.

Ibaraki didn't care about the injury on his back at all. He was protecting the firefly grass, and looked sideways at the girl holding the sword: "Get away!" The low voice implied the coercion of non-aggression, and the girl and the sword were thrown out together. , slammed into a coral reef not far away, life and death unknown.

Hotaru looked up, only seeing Ibaraki's tough profile. "Plop, plop" the heart was beating crazily, as if trying to break free from the constraints of the chest cavity.

"It's all right." Ibaraki said to Firefly after repelling the girl.Although his tone was the same as before, still sounding arrogant and indifferent, but at this time Yingcao could hear the taste of caring from it.

"I'm fine, just sit down and let me see your wound." Yingcao finally reacted, before he had time to think about why his heart was beating so violently, he grabbed Ibaraki's arm anxiously. Want to see his injuries.

With trembling hands, Hotaru lifted off Ibaraki's broken clothes, and the muscles on Ibaraki's arms tensed instantly, subconsciously wanting to fight back.But then he realized that it was Hotaru that was probing his wounds, Ibaraki tried his best to control his body movements, let go of his own defenses, and let Hotaru carefully examine the wounds on his back.

Ibaraki gave his back to Hotaru, which was an experience he had never experienced before. Before that, even if he was seriously injured, he would just find a quiet place and wait for the wound to heal by himself.During this period, no one can approach him, not even his close friend Shuten Doji.

Thinking of this, Ibaraki couldn't help but frowned and reflected, what kind of position does Yingcao, the little monster, occupy in his heart, so that he can involuntarily let go of his guard?

Yingcao tremblingly cut open the robe near the wound, revealing the bloody and ferocious wound without reservation.Hotaru didn't even dare to reach out to touch it, for fear that her actions would irritate Ibaraki's wound.

Yingcao raised the dandelion in her hand and gently shook it on Ibaraki's wound, and dots of fluorescent light fell on the wound.But Ibaraki's wound was too deep, and he could barely stop the bleeding. If Ibaraki moved a little harder, the wound would tear again.

Yingcao put away the dandelion, touched Ibaraki's hideous wound with her cold fingertips, and the transparent liquid flowing from her fingertips gradually melted into the wound.The bone-deep wound healed instantly, but the scar inevitably remained on Ibaraki's smooth back.

Yingcao gently pressed the protruding light-colored scar, and a sincere smile appeared on her face.It's great to be able to heal Ibaraki's injury, Hotaru sighed sincerely before falling into a coma.

Ibaraki felt a weight on his back, and something slipped down his back.Ibaraki turned around to catch the fallen Yingcao, he looked at Yingcao's pale face without a trace of blood, and his heart stopped suddenly.
