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

"Yingcao!" The little deer man exclaimed, and quickly ran to the unconscious Yingcao, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yingcao's slightly undulating chest, "Fortunately, it's not too bad. Yingcao's vitality is very strong , as long as you're still alive, you'll be fine."

Ibaraki supported Yingcao with one hand, and the tight string in his heart gradually loosened.

After Jiaotu confirmed that Yingcao was fine, she no longer worried about Yingcao's safety, and became interested in the legendary monster. She coughed to attract the attention of others, and then said, "I want to go and see that monster."

"I also want to see what the legendary monster looks like." Banruo smiled slightly and walked towards Jiaotu.

Seeing that the others were not interested in seeing the monster, Jiaotu and Banruo walked to the coral reef in the dark.

"Wait." Banruo stopped Jiaotu, "Can you take the night pearl in the shell? It's too dark there, even if the monster is no longer a threat to us, we won't be able to see anything there."

"Almost forgot." Jiaotu patted his head, "I'm going to get a night pearl right now." Jiaotu flicked his tail and swam quickly to the previous shell, holding a palm-sized night pearl in his hands after a while.

Ye Mingzhu illuminated an inch of land around Jiaotu, Banruo followed Jiaotu to the coral reef in the darkness, and soon saw a weak little girl lying quietly on the coral.

Jiaotu thought for a while, and felt that this girl should be the monster.She held the Ye Mingzhu and wandered around the girl, but she didn't dare to get too close, for fear that the monster would suddenly explode.

"Ah! Who are you?" The little girl sleeping on the Coral Reef Mountain suddenly opened her eyes, and two pale ghostly figures appeared in front of her eyes, her whole body shrank into a ball in fright.

Jiaotu and Banruo looked at each other, what's going on?

Banruo hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that she was captured by a monster?"

Jiao Tu suddenly became enlightened when he heard the words, and swam towards the girl: "Little sister, were you caught by a monster?"

"No, don't come here!" The girl quietly raised her head to pay attention to their movements, she panicked when she saw Jiaotu coming towards her, her hands were frantically looking for something around her, and finally, she found what she wanted to find thing.

Jiaotu didn't notice anything unusual, but Banruo sensed the danger keenly. He grabbed Jiaotu and stepped back hastily.

The sharp blade slashed on the ground mercilessly. If Banruo hadn't pulled Jiaotu, perhaps Jiaotu would no longer exist at this moment.

"Get away!" The frail girl's stature suddenly rose, her whole body was covered with heavy armor, and the long sword in her hand shone with a sharp cold light.

Banruo took Jiaotu and tried to escape, but the monster chased after her, and she was about to catch up!

"Demon Saber Girl!" A gentle voice sounded from not far away, and the monster seemed to have lost all its power suddenly.The long knife fell to the ground with a "bang", and the armor on her body disappeared in a snap of her fingers. The tall and mature girl turned into a short girl again.

A mermaid swam from the darkness and came to the monster: "It's so late, why did you come out?"

The little girl lowered her head and tightly grabbed the corner of her clothes: "I just want to pee."

The mermaid gently stroked the top of the girl's hair: "I didn't mean to blame you, I just woke up in the middle of the night and saw that you were not around, so I was a little worried about you."

The mermaid's voice was very gentle, but the girl lowered her head, as if she was very ashamed.

"Fifth Aunt?" Jiaotu suddenly shouted at the mermaid.

The mermaid turned to them and nodded, and Jiaotu couldn't help shouting, "Aunt Wu, it's really you! Why are you here? Why does she listen to you so much?"

The mermaid didn't answer Jiaotu's question. She took the little girl's hand and said to Jiaotu, "It's no secret. It's so late, why don't you come to my place and I'll tell you slowly."

After speaking, the mermaid took the little girl and left.Jiaotu wanted to follow Aunt Wu, but would the guests behind her be willing to go with her?

Sure enough, Han Xiu, attracted by the noise, asked, "Is that really your Fifth Aunt?"

Jiaotu was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "It should be."

Jiaotu's pause made everyone even more hesitant. Yingcao, who didn't know when she woke up, leaned against Ibaraki's arms, and said weakly on Ibaraki's arm: "Let's go and have a look first, maybe Fifth Aunt controlled that monster I have the power. Even if there is danger, Ibaraki is still there."

Yingcao's face was pale, but the firm look on her face was real.Hotaru has always known what he wants, but he has always been worried that Ibaraki who lost his memory is not a complete Ibaraki, and he has always been afraid that Ibaraki who has recovered his memory will treat a little monster like him as nothing.

So before, he had been deliberately avoiding contact with Ibaraki, but now Ibaraki has recovered his memory. Although he looked indifferent before, he stepped forward at a critical moment and saved everyone.

Hotaru thought, she didn't want to get a response from Ibaraki.Now knowing that Ibaraki still regards them as partners after recovering his memory, and that everything he experienced in the past has never disappeared from his memory, that's enough.

Yingcao trusted Ibaraki wholeheartedly, and Jiaotu was also very curious about the monster's true face, so everyone followed Fifth Aunt to her home.

Aunt Wu's house is nearby, and she will arrive in a short while.But Jiaotu couldn't believe that Fifth Aunt lived in such a remote place, which was not a serious place to live.The mermaids would only occasionally stay here for one night, at most ten days and half a month.But Aunt Wu said that this is her home.

Mermaids have always lived together, and there are almost no ones living in isolation like Fifth Aunt.Jiaotu recalled it carefully, and felt that the Fifth Aunt in his memory was not a strange mermaid.

Jiaotu retreated in her heart. At this moment, she was not even sure if the mermaid walking in front was her fifth aunt.

"Here we are." Aunt Wu stopped, opened a huge shell and led the little girl inside, then turned around and waved to them to go in.

Everyone filed in, Jiaotu hesitated for a while, but followed everyone in.

Fifth Aunt made a cup of steaming tea for each of them, and then sat down casually.The little girl sat beside Fifth Aunt obediently, as if she was very attached to Fifth Aunt.

Aunt Wu touched the little girl's head, and her gentle voice seemed to heal all the pain: "When I met her, she had already merged with the Demon Sword, and they couldn't be separated from each other. Death."

"Yao Dao Ji is a good girl, but she still can't control the power of Yao Dao, so she has done a lot of wrong things." Fifth Aunt picked up a bowl of tea, sighed faintly, white mist rose up to cover Fifth Aunt's expression, "I used the Shark Bead to seal the evil power of Yaodao, but Yaodao Ji should not be too far away from me, otherwise the power of the seal will be weakened if the Companion Bead is too far away from me."

Yaodao Ji sat quietly by the side, holding the teacup nervously with both hands, with a look of shame on her face: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I brought disaster to everyone. After that incident happened, I It's time to kill yourself..."

"The Demon Sword Fairy!" Aunt Wu put down her teacup and interrupted the Demon Saber Fairy with an extremely serious expression, "Don't be too harsh on yourself."

"But this is the truth, isn't it?" The demon sword girl's eyes were full of tears, and her white fingertips were pulling the blade, as if she wanted to destroy the demon knife, "If I hadn't dug out this demon knife and been controlled by it, then the village All the people here will not die at my hands. Even my parents are because of me..."

Yaodao Ji couldn't continue, and a low whimper sounded.Although Yao Dao Ji didn't say what happened in detail, everyone has already guessed the general course of the matter based on the situation when they first met Yao Dao Ji.

Yao Dao Ji was supposed to be an ordinary shy and timid little girl, but one day, she found a knife.But who would have thought that this knife is full of evil power, the little girl is controlled by the demon knife, her fear is magnified, she does not want anyone to approach her, because she is afraid of everyone who approaches her.

But the people in the village didn't know what happened to the girl. They got along with the girl as usual, but unexpectedly suffered a catastrophe.In the boundless fear, the girl killed the villagers, partners and parents who were close to her.This is not the worst, when the girl wakes up, she finds out what she has done.

She may even have thought about self-destruction, but she has already merged with the demon knife, and she will not die even if the demon knife continues.

The little deer man thought of the pain when his clansmen were slaughtered, the pain was enough to crush a weak-willed person.If he was the one who caused this tragedy, what kind of grief and self-blame would he fall into?

The little deer man felt extremely sympathetic to Yaodao Ji's experience, and subconsciously comforted him: "It's not you who caused the tragedy, but the Yaodao. Even if you dug the Yaodao out, you shouldn't take all the blame on yourself. If everyone Knowing the truth of the matter, they will definitely not blame you."

Yaodao Ji didn't react too much when she heard the words, she had heard such words many times.Even if she is controlled by the demon knife, can this deny that the disaster was caused by her?What's more, her current name is Yaodao Ji, which reminds her all the time that she has merged with Yaodao.The demon knife is her, and she is the demon knife.

Seeing that his consolation had no effect, the little deer man seemed to be self-defeating, he danced anxiously, opened his mouth but didn't know what else to say.

Han Xiu held the little deer man's hand waving wildly in the air, signaling him to calm down.Then he organized his language and said to Yaodao Ji: "Do you like Fifth Aunt?"

Yaodao Ji was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Fifth Aunt.Fifth Aunt still had the serious expression just now, but there was a little more wave in her eyes.Yaodao Ji nodded: "I like it."

"Then do you like the sharks here?"

Yaodao Ji remembered that she sank to the bottom of the sea with the demon sword in despair, but was rescued by kind sharks.She also thought of the countless times she peeked at their noisy daily life, and thought of herself who was attracted by their harmonious atmosphere.Yaodao Ji nodded without hesitation: "I like it."

"Then are you willing to live with the sharks?"

Yaodao Ji hesitated, she naturally wanted to, but she was also afraid that she would bring disaster to the sharks, just like last time.

Han Xiu didn't wait for Yaodao Ji's answer, and he wasn't obsessed with the answer to this question.Han Xiu continued: "The evil power of the demon sword has been sealed. As long as you don't leave Fifth Aunt, you will not be controlled by the demon sword. You don't have to worry about the same thing happening again. You can live with the mermaids completely. And you are willing to let Has Fifth Aunt stayed with you to live alone all this time?"

Yaodao Ji was shaken, and Han Xiu continued to ask: "But have you ever thought that you are integrated with the sword, and you are almost immortal, but Fifth Aunt will always go to the end of her life. If that day comes, What about you?"

Yaodao Ji imagined following Han Xiu's words, and suddenly felt restless, and her whole body was very anxious.

Just as Aunt Wu was about to say something, she heard Han Xiu continue: "Why don't you try to control the demon sword? If you control the demon sword, then everything you imagined just now will not happen. And from now on, you will be able to control the demon knife freely. What I scruple about is living with everyone."

Yaodao shook her head subconsciously, if she couldn't do it, how could she control Yaodao?

Han Xiu didn't seem to notice Yaodao Ji's movements, and continued: "If you master the Yaodao, you can not only live with everyone, but also protect everyone. If the mermaids encounter an insurmountable danger, then your strength may Can save them from fire and water."

Yaodao Ji raised her head abruptly, her eyes full of expectations, she turned to look at Fifth Aunt: "Fifth Aunt, I want to live with you."

Fifth Aunt lovingly touched Yaodao Ji's head: "Okay!"

Aunt Wu smiled and hugged Yaodao Ji into her arms, but then she thought of something again, and her expression darkened: "Jiaotu, where is your shark bead?"
