[Interstellar] Reborn Mermaid Beast Tamer

Outside the spaceship, the crow's "quack" sounded through the sky.

Judging from the screen, these have no intelligence and represent unknown creatures. Their eyes are blood red, and there is a madness unique to beasts in those small red eyes.

"Use the laser cannon." Ludwig calmly gave the order.

Su, who was in charge of firing the cannonball, immediately called out the laser cannon, and under the outer side of the spaceship, the muzzle turned and aimed at the crows.

A dazzling bright white beam shot out from the dark gun barrel, and as the laser beam moved, a white line was drawn on the pure black flying carpet of crows.

Although the laser cannon's attack was powerful, it didn't stop the crowd of crows, nor did it deter them.Instead, more crows rushed towards them like crazy. They demonstrated to humans in this way that they were not afraid of death, and conveyed to them the information that the number of their own groups was endless and could never be killed.

At this time, these ugly crows are like groups of death gods dressed in black.

"These are not ordinary crows." Neil said flatly, without any fluctuation in his tone. "I have seen a pet dog that has been hungry for more than ten days. From its eyes, I can see the pain of being tortured by hunger, but more of it is madness and longing."

"You mean the crows are starving?"

"Perhaps," Neil said.

All four people on the spaceship fell silent.

The crows flew out of the only terrestrial mangrove forest in the mermaid land. If they landed, they would undoubtedly have entered the crow's lair.Now there is still some time before midnight, and when they land on land at this time, they will inevitably confront the crows head-on, which will consume too much of their physical strength and firepower.

"Retreat." Ludwig contacted Cong Yi with a communicator, explained his judgment and concluded, "We can't land, the crow's nest is below."

"No, crows cannot step into the open space leading to the Mermaid Temple. We just need to pass through this group of crows to get there."

"How do you know?" Cong Yi's decisive tone aroused Su's curiosity.

On the other side of the communicator, Cong Yi chuckled and didn't answer her.

Ludwig did not question Cong Yi's judgment, he immediately gave instructions: "Su and I go out to clear the way for the spaceship, Shen Ling, you assist Neil to drive the spaceship, open the protective cover as soon as we leave, you must use the safest Speed ​​through the flock of crows to the clearing below."

"You don't have to leave the spaceship, we can rely on the protective cover to pass through the crows." Shen Ling's eyes fell on Ludwig's body. After returning, his eyes followed Ludwig closely for a long time. Derwig.

"No one can be sure whether the protective cover can successfully pass through these crows. After all, these are not ordinary crows. The spaceship is not flexible enough to attack. There must be crows coming from the angle that the spaceship cannot attack. The flexibility of the fighter is very strong. I Hesu Escort can guarantee the greatest security."

Ludwig also stared at Shen Ling, his eyes were stern, Shen Ling seemed to be just an ordinary subordinate in his line of sight, but Shen Ling could read responsibility and concern from that gaze.

Shen Ling once again confirmed in his heart that he is really not the little prince who lived in the Garden of Eden before, and now he is like a mountain that will never collapse, so reliable and trustworthy.

Su patted Shen Ling's tense shoulders twice. "Relax, a task of this level is just a piece of cake for me and His Highness, just a few miscellaneous birds."

Ludwig and Su left the spaceship and drove the fighter planes to guard the two wings of the spaceship. They were like two strong iron wings, and they formed a strong protective circle for the spaceship, shooting all the crows that approached the spaceship.

The three of White Ghost also got off the spaceship. The fighter planes they were flying were old, but their attack power was not inferior to that of Ludwig's fighter planes.

Different from the random fighting style in the past, the three of White Ghosts are like well-trained soldiers guarding their spaceship. For them, the only person in the spaceship is the one they must protect even if they risk their lives. .

The spaceship activated the protective cover and acceleration system, and swooped towards the crows.

Soon the two spaceships and five fighters were swallowed up by the crows as if they had thrown pebbles into the black tide.

The moonlight white transparent protective cover wrapped the spaceship in it, and countless crows hit the protective cover, and the shock waves of the impact exploded on the protective cover like ripples.

Ludwig and Su shot at the group of crows outside within the direction of the protective cover, in an attempt to alleviate the impact of some groups of crows on the protective cover.But it was obvious that their efforts were especially powerless in front of the frightening crowd of crows.

Hui suddenly reminded Shen Ling, "This is a strange beast." It paused, and then added, "Or, it is a mutated crow, and the shield of the spaceship cannot completely resist their attacks."

"Why are there so many crows here?" Shen Ling asked Hui suspiciously, "Have you seen crows in this place before?"

"They don't belong on this planet, and I think someone brought them here."

"Someone has entered the Mermaid Temple?"

"This question can only be answered when we enter the temple."

With a "bang", something violently hit the spaceship, only to hear a violent "beep", something broke.

The sharp siren on the spaceship sounded immediately, and the red light representing danger kept flashing.

Neil has adjusted the photographic image. Above the spaceship, a giant black bird that is twice the size of their spaceship regards the spaceship as a toy. It grabs the sharp ends of the spaceship with its claws, Capture her and fly towards the ocean.

The crows in front of it automatically made way for it, like Moses divided the sea, dividing a wide passage in the black sea of ​​crows.

Ludwig and Su closely followed the huge crow, attacking it with particle cannons.But to this crow king, the powerful artillery fire is as painless as a small stone hitting it.

It didn't care about the two little flies following him, but it still felt annoyed at being disturbed. It "quacked" twice, and the group of crows behind it immediately surrounded Ludwig and Su.

The Crow King swooped down, grabbing the spaceship and skimming low above the sea.

The spaceship was turned upside down by it. Although they were wearing safety belts, Shen Ling and Neil still felt very uncomfortable, and they were a little nauseated by the bumps.

During the third sweep of the Crow King, the sea water suddenly shook violently. A flesh-pink tentacles with two rows of densely packed fleshy suckers sprang out from the sea surface and accurately grabbed the spaceship. Judging from the size of the tentacles, its owner will definitely not be smaller than the crow king.

The photographs inside the spaceship showed the appearance of densely packed suction cups stuck to the outer wall of the spaceship. There were some jet black in these pink, and the number of suction cups that made people feel numb successfully caused Shen Ling to spit it out, and closed his eyes firmly Don't want to look any more.

After closing his eyes, Shen Ling suddenly felt that his body was slowly heating up, as if a heater had been installed in his body, and his internal organs felt uncomfortable as if they were being roasted by a ball of fire.

Neil's psychological quality is better than Shen Ling's, but he was shocked by this terrible scene, and his face turned pale for a while, and he closed his eyes.

The Crow King seemed to be waiting for this moment. It grabbed the spaceship and flew up, trying to drag out the owner of the tentacles under the sea.More tentacles poured out from under the surface of the sea, but their target was not the spaceship, but the crow that was holding the spaceship.

The Crow King screamed excitedly, and his subjects flew down one after another, pecking at the tentacles sticking out of the sea.

Tentacles continued to protrude from the sea, but compared to the first time, the tentacles protruding from the back were much smaller.

The crow frantically pecked at the tentacles, and the tentacles mercilessly attracted the crow to the suction cup and brought it underwater. Soon, a layer of black greasy crow carcasses and broken tentacles floated on the surface of the water.

At this moment, Ludwig and Su, who had obviously reduced the number of crows by their side, could already see it.

The crow didn't want to fight them at all. They had only one purpose, which was the octopus monsters under the sea. To the crow, they were just bait.

The two flew to the edge of the battle between the crow and the octopus monster. Ludwig locked the position of the spaceship captured by the crow king. He held his breath and observed the battlefield, ready to rush in and take the spaceship back at any time.

Su was disgusted by these monsters that emerged from the sea. This wasn't the most severe battlefield she had ever faced, but it was definitely the most disgusting battlefield. However, she didn't dare to neglect to follow Ludwig's side.

The three white ghosts also passed through the crow layer and followed Ludwig. They had safely sent Cong Yi to the clearing.

The Crow King bit the other tentacle of the giant octopus, and it let go of its claws holding the spaceship.

When it was too late, Ludwig shouted "Go!"

Before he finished speaking, his fighter plane had already broken through the net made by countless crows and tentacles, and charged towards their spaceship.

But the opportunity was fleeting, the giant octopus abandoned one of its tentacles, hugged the spaceship and sank under the sea.

What the Crow King got was just a tentacles, and it flicked the tentacles outward angrily, and swooped down towards the sea several times, but every time its claws only caught some small octopus monsters.

The angry Crow King once again turned his attention to the fighter planes that rushed into their battlefield.

……

After being caught into the sea, except for being turned upside down by the octopus monster, there is nothing unusual inside the spaceship. The spaceship is very strong, and the sealing facilities are very good, so the sea water will not overflow.

Seeing the sea water, Shen Ling felt at ease as if seeing his hometown.Moreover, the temperature from the inside to the outside has already spread to his brain.He now feels as if he has been thrown into a fire, desperately needing the cold sea water to cool himself down.

Shen Ling didn't have time to explain to Neil, the high temperature was about to cook him, and he needed seawater!

He untied the seat belt tied to his body, transformed into a mermaid in front of Neil, and flew towards the hatch of the spaceship.

Neil glanced at Shen Ling silently, without asking anything, he decisively unfastened his seat belt and followed behind Shen Ling.

The spaceship dragged into the sea is not a safe place, he is familiar with water, it may be safer outside the spaceship.

Being hugged by the cold sea water, the heat in Shen Ling's body was relieved a little.His consciousness also came to his senses, and he, who could clearly see the situation on the bottom of the sea, immediately looked around their current situation.

The giant octopus dragged their spaceship and was rapidly swimming deeper into the seabed. It didn't realize that the two people in the spaceship were gone.

Surrounding them were countless unknown fishes, among them was the little octopus that followed the octopus and fled downward.

Shen Ling glanced under the sea, avoiding the octopus monster. In his eyes, the seabed was deep and bottomless, and there was a light blue light flashing one after another, like a lighthouse built in the underwater world.

What is that?

Shen Ling only thought for a second before deciding not to spend time thinking about those unimaginable existences. This is a dangerous sea area, and he must hurry up and get out of here.

He held out his hand to Neil.

When Neil grabbed his hand, he immediately swam towards the surface of the sea with all his strength.

They didn't swim for long, and the giant octopus monster had already discovered their escape.The octopus angrily beat the water with its remaining seven tentacles, and chased after them.

Soon, the ten-meter-long tentacles of the octopus touched Shen Ling's fish tail.But with just a light touch, Shen Ling immediately accelerated and pulled a little distance away from it.

This negligible distance was quickly overtaken by the octopus monster. His suction cup stuck to Shen Ling's tail, and the other tentacles even surrounded Neil's whole body.

Hui had already jumped out of Shen Ling's consciousness and wrestled with the octopus monster, but more little octopus monsters entangled him.

These strange beasts, they can touch the ashes in the state of soul and body!

Hui was not their opponent, Shen Ling couldn't break free from the tentacles that entangled him, and Neil had obviously shown symptoms of drowning.

At this moment, Shen Ling felt the scorching heat in his body again, as if a ball of flames were squeezing his internal organs, about to jump out of his body.

Shen Ling heard a familiar voice.

The voice was so kind, and all his hopes were ignited in an instant.

"Mermaid boy, look, you really can't do it without me!"

On the surface of the sea, the five fighters have gradually been unable to resist the attacks of the Crow King and his people.

They were just fighting in the corner. Although the ammunition was abundant and the fighter planes were strong, they couldn't withstand such a crazy attack from the crows.What's more, the Crow King seemed to be joking with them in a good mood.

Ludwig couldn't let everyone sacrifice meaninglessly here, he could only grit his teeth and give the order to return.

Su didn't want to return, but she couldn't refuse Ludwig's order, he was her boss.

The three of Bai Youling were different, S said angrily: "Xiao Ling and the coffin face are still under! You are not going to save them?"

"You guys go back and leave the rest to me." Ludwig said flatly, looking forward to the sea.

He has already decided to become a dragon to deal with these crows. Although he will lose his physical strength very quickly after becoming a dragon, as long as he clenches his teeth and persists...he has persisted so many times, he just needs to persist...

At this time, Ludwig was trying his best to suppress himself, even if he did not resort to any means, he would bring Shen Ling out, but his responsibility as a leader told him that he could not bring other people to die with him.

"Hero, why are you so handsome at this time?" S sneered, while driving the spaceship to blast away a few crows that were approaching.

"Eldest sister, in fact, His Royal Highness is right, we should return." Xia said calmly, "Our most important purpose is to protect the principal."

"Idiot bird!" S yelled, venting his anger and increasing the firepower to bomb the Crow King who was dealing with them.

The Crow King screamed sharply, and rushed towards S' fighter plane.

It held S' fighter plane in its hand, and demonstrated to other fighter planes like holding a toy.

"Bastard!" Xia excitedly wanted to rush over to die with the Crow King.

Old K who noticed his mood stopped him. "calm."

At this time, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, and the ripples became more and more dense. At the center of the ripples, a group of blazing and dazzling flames broke through the sea surface and rushed into the sky.

Whether it was the octopus monster or the group of crows, they were all forced away tens of meters by the flames.

It was a big fiery red bird visible to the naked eye. He spread his broad flame wings and hovered in the low sky, with a majestic and majestic aura, like a god in the sky.

The phoenix bird controls the flames on his body, so his flames are not eye-catching.

"Phoenix!" Xia shouted in surprise.

Although the others didn't call out the name, they all knew in their hearts that this was the real Phoenix.

A phoenix flew out of the sea, its feathers were not soaked by sea water at all.

Ludwig thought of Shen Ling's soul beast, and he was almost sure that this phoenix was the one that often hid in Shen Ling's mind and peeped at them.But Shen Ling obviously has no soul power, so why is this phoenix so powerful and turned into a solid body.

Ludwig was worried about Shen Ling, and soon, he saw Shen Ling and Neil sitting on the phoenix's paw.

Su and Bai Yougui also saw them.

Old K sighed in disbelief: "This guy won't go to the sea and hook up with Fenghuang, right?"

The appearance of the phoenix is ​​a powerful threat to both the octopus monsters on the bottom of the sea and the crows on the sea surface.The natural level difference of beasts made them tremble and fear under the pressure of the phoenix.

The flame spit out from the mouth of the phoenix, aiming at the crow king who wanted to escape. The crow king's wings were ignited, and he threw down the fighter plane of S, and fled to the woods with his people in a panic.

Phoenix's second flame breath had already chased after it, and a large group of crows screamed and fell into the sea.

The octopus monsters all retreated into the sea, and no flesh-pink tentacles emerged from the sea.

"Ha-"

Phoenix uttered a clear and high-spirited phoenix cry, sending out his warning to the two alien beasts that dominated the planet.

Shen Ling, who was sitting on his phoenix paws, suddenly felt powerless all over his body. His hands holding the phoenix loosened, and he fell backwards.Neil helped him in time, but he was already unconscious.

It was getting dark, and a group of people lit a bonfire in the open space.

It's not the kind of bonfire controlled by electricity, but a real bonfire lit with broken logs from the forest.

After a battle, everyone felt exhausted and had no desire to talk, just eating their own nutrients in a dumb way.

Shen Ling was so tired that he was drowsy, but he still had a lot of questions to ask Fenghuang.

The jumping flames were reflected in Shen Ling's pupils, while the voice of Phoenix occupied his entire brain.

The noisy phoenix was at it again, bragging about his abilities endlessly.

"Those little bastards, if I haven't recovered all my strength by now, hehe!"

The noise of Phoenix made Shen Ling very kind and nostalgic.

Hui was very silent, and basically wouldn't communicate with Shen Ling if it wasn't necessary.When Fenghuang was away, no one was talking in his mind, and Shen Ling always felt that something was missing.

But now, Shen Ling still has a lot of questions to ask Fenghuang.

"Why are you suddenly able to materialize?"

"Ahem, compared to this, shouldn't you compliment me for being handsome?"

"Then where have you been all this time?"

"..."

Seeing that Fenghuang didn't want to talk about it, Shen Ling didn't want to force him either.

"I think, I probably know what happened to Fenghuang." Hui said quietly, and Shen Ling unexpectedly heard a hint of teasing in Hui's tone.

"Hey, you stupid cat, shut up, I'll say it myself." Phoenix adjusted, and explained hesitantly, "I've absorbed a lot of energy." He paused, as if he had made up his mind. Only then did the following words continue, "I have absorbed all your soul power energy, and all the energy you absorbed during those ten years when you soaked in the lake water of Alien Beast Planet."

"..."

"Hey, mermaid boy, I didn't intend to absorb it on purpose. Who told you that all your energy is overflowing. If I don't absorb it, it will be wasted!"

Fenghuang's suddenly high-pitched tone showed his guilty conscience.

Shen Ling thought that Fenghuang might be worried that he would blame him, but in fact, Shen Ling had long regarded Fenghuang and Hui as part of himself, and their strength was undoubtedly his own strength, not to mention that Fenghuang was his natal soul beast that was closely connected with him.

"You still look the best when you turn into a phoenix bird." Shen Ling's mouth curled up.

"Of course!" Phoenix's tail immediately curled up. "It's just that the energy is used up too fast, and you can't supply me with soul power now, and if you appear for too long, it will cause you to lose your physical strength too quickly. It's really troublesome..."

"I can't do anything about it." Shen Ling shrugged, "You have eaten up all my savings over the years."

Fenghuang had nothing to say, and a few minutes later, Shen Ling leaned on Ludwig and fell asleep.

The others also fell asleep, leaving only Ludwig and Cong Yi awake.

Cong Yi pulled the bonfire with a thick branch, and asked casually, "Is your brother okay?"

"You know him?"

"It's acquaintance."

"I never heard him mention you."

Cong Yi smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at Shen Ling who was sleeping soundly, his gaze softened immediately.

He has already found the child he lost back then, and all that remains is to find the teacher.After doing all this, he will return to planet D14, where he will spend the rest of his life with his children.

As for other things, other people are not important to him anymore.

Finally, midnight came.

A mysterious transparent block staircase wrapped in a soft light appears in the dark night, winding its way to the mysterious sky.

Everyone was woken up, and after changing into constant temperature clothing, they began the journey of climbing the steps.

Unlike the first time White Phantom came here just to detect, this time they came here to reach the summit.So everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace and walked up the steps.

Through the time display on his brain, Shen Ling knew that only half an hour had passed since they stepped up the steps, but he always felt that a long, long time had passed in the monotonous upward movement.

The howling cool wind blew by, and Shen Ling didn't feel cold because he was wearing a constant temperature suit, but he still couldn't help shivering when he heard the whistling sound.

It's almost here, the place where the mermaid sings.

The few people who had climbed the steps of death couldn't help thinking.

However, they did not hear the singing.

The singing voice that could penetrate the earplugs and pour directly into their brains did not appear, nor did the phantom of the mermaid.

The world is eerily quiet, and in the darkness, everyone has the illusion that countless eyes are staring at them.It seemed that in the next moment, someone would suddenly jump out and push them down the narrow steps.

However, still nothing happened.

They reached the top of the steps. The steps that seemed to never see the edge turned out to be much shorter than they had imagined.

Eight people stood at the top of the steps and looked up at the world.

As far as the eye can see, there are all white and soft clouds, but apart from the clouds, there is nothing here.

They looked up, and a few thousand meters above their heads, there was another dense cloud.A faint silvery-white beam of light is projected from the clouds above, illuminating the clouds below like heaven, giving people the illusion that angels will appear from here at any time.

But all eight people know that there will be no angels here, it's just a sea of ​​clouds, nothing more.

Everything in front of them made them understand that all their preparations suddenly turned into a joke, this is not the entrance to the Mermaid Temple at all.

This is just a deception carefully prepared for explorers.
