Embrace the light

Since catching the sworn conch, Ziyue found that she has started to go smoothly. In the past two days, she has always been able to catch delicious seashells accurately and quickly.

The place where the oath conch is located, there are very few sea creatures nearby. In the past few days, Zixing and Ziyue had to travel far and search for a long time to fill their stomachs. .

[Should we leave at midnight today? ] Zixing carefully observed the state of the oath conch, it is now relatively quiet and does not struggle as violently as before.

[OK. ] All the plans are progressing step by step, and Ziyue can already imagine the beautiful moment when she and Zixing become the master's personal attendant after offering the sworn conch.

The two had a full meal, and then went to explore the road together. After confirming that there were no ferocious creatures approaching for the time being, they dragged the wrapped oath conch and started swimming.

This oath conch should not be very old. According to legend, the adult oath conch is wider than the palm of an adult sea monster, but the conch behind Zixing Ziyue is only half the size of a palm.

But this Ziyue is not worried, considering the size of the two of them, it would be difficult to grab a bigger one and take it back.Moreover, they had to avoid the pursuit of other predators along the way, and it was not conducive to their safety to go back with a more conspicuous target.If the owner dislikes it, it’s a big deal to raise it for a while before offering it.

They themselves swore that the number of conch shells is small and extremely difficult to find. The two of them searched hard and got the favor of God and luckily caught one, so they will definitely be sympathetic to the owner.

While Ziyue swam vigorously, thinking about the beautiful future, the whole starfish was in high spirits.

Zixing was also very happy when he saw it, he liked such a happy Ziyue.

But Ziyue couldn't be happy for a long time, because a group of grass-green lumps appeared in front of them, like sponges.

These lumps are like sponges, but sponges generally cannot walk on their own, and can only be attached to the reefs on the bottom of the sea. But this group in front of them is floating, or swimming?

[We swim sideways to avoid encountering them head-on. ] Zixing observed for a few seconds and said to Ziyue.

Ziyue has no objection, and swims with Zixing to the side sea stones. The gaps between the sea stones are a good place to hide them, and it is also convenient to hide the oath conch.

What the two didn't expect was that these clump-shaped creatures did not continue going straight, but changed direction and came towards Zixing and Ziyue.

Ziyue watched the group of clump-shaped creatures gradually approaching through the swaying seaweed and rock crevices, and kept exploring around them, feeling very puzzled, [They look like a group of sponges, don’t they still want to eat meat? ]

Purple Star said [I have a bad feeling. ]

As soon as the words fell, sure enough, these clump-shaped creatures began to "seep" down into the gap, slowly approaching the hiding place of Zixing and Ziyue.

[Hey, let me tear them apart! ] Seeing a mass of seaweed gradually approaching the hiding place of the two of them, Ziyue stepped forward to wrap her tentacles around the body of the seaweed, and pulled it hard, and as a result, more of the sponge was pulled in limply, without any sign of breaking.Ziyue opened her mouth to bite again, and tore it hard again, but this time she bit off a big lump.

However, before Ziyue had time to report her achievements to Zixing, she suddenly felt her mouth become swollen and numb.

This thing is actually poisonous? !

[They are poisonous, let's rush out! ]

Ziyue dragged Zixing to swim through the cracks in the rocks on the other side at a very high speed. Of course, she also brought the oath conch, but when she rushed out, she found that the outside became dark and full of this ghost thing.

Fortunately, they are not fast, but they are very difficult to deal with. As if they have become interested in them, they gradually increase their swimming speed, and they have been chasing after them.

Originally, with Zixing and Ziyue's own speed, they could get rid of them quickly, but now with a covenant conch that is bigger than both of them combined, the speed is much slower.Moreover, the two of them panicked and gradually entered a sea area that had not been explored before.

Ziyue had to wonder whether the group of sponges following behind had opened up their intelligence, why did they feel that they were taking every step of the way and slowly drawing it?

[Brothers and sisters, can you hear me? ] Ziyue swam forward vigorously, while shouting at the group of pursuers behind her, but she did not respond to her voice.

The dark clouds are still following behind, Zixing glanced behind, and said to Ziyue, "Let's swim faster, get away from them for a while, then hide the oath conch, and then lure these things away, completely Shake them off. ]

[OK, let's speed up! ]

Ziyue and Zixing increased their swimming speed. After swimming for a while, they saw a swaying seaweed clump on the right side in front of them, so they buried the oath conch at the root of the seaweed, covered it with sea mud, and pulled a few seaweed leaves. as occlusion.

After all this was done, the two swam in the other direction, deliberately slowing down a bit, and sure enough, the sponges were still heading towards the two of them and kept following them closely.

[You said, have they never eaten starfish?Why are you so jealous of us? ]

Zixing rarely smiled, [Maybe we are too sweet, they can smell our happiness. ]

Hearing this, Ziyue was startled and forgot to swim, and Zixing grabbed a tentacle and led her to swim forward.

[I can't see it, but you still say such love words? ]

Zixing smiled and said nothing.

The two walked slowly for a while, and after confirming that the sponges were still following them, they began to speed up with all their strength.Zixing pays attention to the surrounding environment, and records the route to the hiding place of the sworn conch in his mind.

Gradually, the sponge wall disappeared behind him.The two chose another seam on the rock to hide, and Zixing carefully observed Ziyue's injury, and it was not as red and swollen as it was at the beginning.

[There is still a little numbness and swelling, but the symptoms have eased a lot.Unexpectedly, it escaped the attacks of other poisonous fish and shells, but landed on this sponge. ]

[Well, we should be more careful later.We changed directions a few times, thinking that the group of sponges might not be found again, you rest in the crevices of the rocks, and I will catch some seashells, shrimps and crabs. ]

Ziyue waved her hand, [I don't want to be separated from you, let's go together. ]

[good. ] Zixing took Ziyue's hand, and together they searched for food near the reef.

The food found here is small in size, but it is still easy to catch. After catching five or six in a row, Zixing tasted it first before handing it to Ziyue.

After eating and drinking enough, the two began to swim back to the hiding place of the sworn conch.Fortunately, on the way back, I didn't see those strange sponges again.

However, when Zixing and Ziyue arrived at their destination, they searched back and forth, left and right for several times, but they couldn't find the vowed conch that was bound by the seaweed net bag, and they didn't even find the seaweed net.

Did it escape by itself?

Or was it eaten by something else?

The more Ziyue thought about it, the more sad she became, and she burst into tears.

[These despicable, shameless things!If you don't work hard on your own, what kind of hero is it if you follow others' achievements! ]

Zixing hugged her, patted her back lightly, and comforted her.

[Don't cry, let's look around first, if we still can't find it, then we'll go catch another one.Anyway, Jinxian is not in a hurry, so let's take this time as an experience. ]

Ziyue sobbed and nodded.

Expanding the scope to search, Ziyue actually found traces of the seagrass net.It seemed to be crushed by something and scattered on the bottom of the sea.

Following the scattered seaweed, Zixing and Ziyue found the oath conch again, and it was still intact and alive.

This? ? ?

The two of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and from the scattered broken seaweed, it can be deduced that the oath conch did not break free by itself, so why did the predator throw away the prey after it had already got it?

Ziyue was about to cry with joy, she swore she would not let go of the conch, and kissed it twice.

[The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, another village! ]

Zi Xing was also very happy, he did not expect such an ending.

[Probably because the vowed conch has spikes on both sides of its body, making it difficult for the opponent to bite. ]

[Whatever!It is a great luck and surprise to find it again. This time I have to protect it well! ]

After Ziyue finished speaking, she suddenly felt that she was touched by something soft. She turned her head to look, and it turned out that it was the vowed conch poking out its head from the sheath and touching her with its tentacles.

[Um?Did this little guy recognize me?It actually came out of the shell! ]

Zixing also took a closer look, and sure enough, the vowed conch was not afraid of the two of them. After meeting Zixing's eyes, it even shook its two antennae.

Ziyue suddenly had the illusion of holding a child, especially after she said to Zixing [let's find her something to eat].

After feeding the conch snails and eating some fresh water plants and a few bugs, Zixing started to weave water plants again, this time directly weaving a bag of water plants.However, the toughness of the aquatic plants here is not as good as before, but this is the only way to find a good substitute for a while.

After weaving, Zixing slipped the oath conch into it, and then grabbed one side and swam with Ziyue.

After a few days of hard work, I finally returned to the familiar road.

During this period, the vowed conch became more familiar with the two of them, and even took the initiative to swim with them close to the bottom of the sea for a while.However, in order to prevent it from escaping, Zixing and Ziyue still don't give it much food each time.

During the time of traveling back together, Ziyue wondered for several times whether this conch was enlightened, but every time she communicated with it, it didn't reply, and always looked at Ziyue with a bewildered expression.

That night, the vowed conch was hidden in the crevice of the reef, and Zixing and Ziyue began to look for food.Vaguely, they heard a burst of singing, could not help being attracted, and swam up to the surface of the sea.

The moonlight poured down on the sea, sparkling, and on the reef not far away, a young man with a fishtail was singing.This song was something Zixing and Ziyue had never heard before. It was sung by a siren, but it was more than one voice. It was like a low-pitched, magnetic singing that awakened the sea breeze, sea waves, and marine life. They could feel and hear all things. Qi Ming.

But in fact, not all creatures are addicted to this song. When Zixing and Ziyue were in a trance, a big black fish quickly swam towards them.

Noticing the abnormal fluctuation of the water flow, Zixing quickly regained consciousness, pulling Ziyue to dodge at high speed.

[Oh my god, what the hell scared me! ] Ziyue also came to her senses.

The big black fish bared its teeth and turned around to attack them again.

Facing this person whose body size was several times their own, Zixing and Ziyue had no choice but to dodge.

On the reef, the Sea-Monster Clan was still singing to the moon, without being disturbed by any movement here.

Ziyue has already seen clearly that this sea monster tribe is Mo, her master.

Ziyue was very happy and excited, once again seeing her admired master up close.While dodging the attack of the big black fish together with Zixing, she thought about showing herself well in front of her master.

Although, the master's eyes are not on them at all.

The speed of the big black fish is not as fast as the two of them, but it looks very stubborn, if it can't catch up, it will follow behind and keep chasing.

Ziyue suddenly had a bold idea. When she and Zixing approached the reef where Mo was again, Ziyue pulled Zixing and jumped to jump onto the reef next to Mo.However, the two of them did not land on the stone surface, but fell into a black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Ziyue was a little confused, she sat up and saw that she was in Mo's palm.

Mo had already stopped singing, and lowered his eyes slightly to look at the two little purple starfish in his palm.

[Master, Master! ] Ziyue was so excited that she couldn't finish her words.

Zi Xing remained calm, bowed his head towards Mo, [Master. ]

Seeing that Zixing and Ziyue jumped onto the reef, the big black fish still refused to give up, spitting bubbles on the water surface and waiting for them to enter the water again.

Mo has some impressions of these two starfish, because there are not many starfish in his immediate group.

[How did you come here? 】This is the edge of Mo's territorial waters, where many ferocious non-spiritual creatures haunt. Ordinary sapient creatures are not happy to come to this wild place.

Ziyue replied, "Master, let's go find the sworn conch, and we've already found it!"Hidden in the sea not far from here. ]

【Looking for a conch? 】

[Yes Master. ] Seeing Ziyue, Zixing was very excited, afraid that she could not express clearly, so she explained [I heard that the master family likes the oath conch very much, so we both want to find the oath conch and present it to the master, so as to get the opportunity to become the master's personal attendant. ]

Mo took a closer look at Zixing and Ziyue, they were two very ordinary little starfish, really small, not only small in size, but also young in age.

[Why do you want to be my attendant? 】

Ziyue happily replied [Because I am Mu Qiang!I like the powerful Siren Clan, and I like you, the most powerful of the Siren Clan! ] After finishing speaking, she suddenly felt that there was some ambiguity in the words, and she added, "It's not the love between the opposite sex, I have already made a lifelong decision with him. ] Ziyue pointed to Zixing, [I want to follow the powerful master, learn from the master, and make myself stronger! ]

Seeing the valiant, high-spirited and passionate starfish in front of him expressing his remarks, Mo Rarely became interested.He met many intelligent creatures in the ocean. Some admired him, feared him, hated him, and had no feeling for him. Some said they wanted to join his group, some said they wanted to live with him as a couple, and some said He wants to be the one his subordinates are willing to follow to the death, but this is the first time he meets someone who wants to serve him personally.

Seeing that Mo just looked at her without speaking, Ziyue felt a bit shy, but she still straightened her body to show her determination to Mo.

Seeing that Mo didn't say yes or no, Zixing felt that there was room for maneuver, so she said, "Master, I'll go to the bottom of the sea and bring the oath conch up for you." ]

Mo nodded this time, Ziyue forgot about her lover without seeing her master, and when Zixing turned around and jumped into the sea, she also turned and went down together.

[Why did you come down too? ]

Ziyue replied, "Don't worry about you, you see, the big black fish followed us with green eyes as soon as it saw us. ]

Both of them wanted to bring the sworn conch to Mo as soon as possible, so they used a relatively fast speed and easily got rid of the big black fish.

The mermaid's singing sounded again, but it was different from what I heard before. This time the singing was much cooler than before. Although it was still very melodious, Ziyue and Zixing couldn't help being attracted by it, but they were not fascinated by it. a feeling of.

The whole journey was very smooth, and there were no obstacles in the way.

After successfully handing the sworn conch and herself into Mo's hands, Ziyue looked at Mo expectantly, waiting for his reaction.

Mo stroked the oath conch twice with his right finger, and slowly, it poked its head out quietly, shook its tentacles towards Ziyue, and then crawled closer to her.

Ziyue suddenly became a little entangled, just now she only cared about being loyal and offering treasures to Mo Biao, but now she remembered that after handing the oath conch to Mo, it would be eaten.

This little guy didn't know what fate was waiting for him, so he approached Ziyue very intimately and rubbed against her.

For some reason, Little Conch likes Ziyue very much, but she doesn't like Zixing who is with her, and has never had any intimate behaviors.

Seeing that little conch was still so ignorantly and innocently getting close to her, Ziyue felt extremely uncomfortable.Is it really necessary to let such a cute little guy die for his own goals?

Mo put Zixing and Ziyue on the reef beside him, then held the oath conch with his hand, and looked at it carefully in the moonlight, while the oath conch watched Mo for a while with its tentacles shaking, and then began to look for Ziyue's figure .

Seeing that Mo raised his right hand and seemed to stab the little conch with his fingertips, Ziyue hurriedly shouted [Don't!Master, please don't hurt it! ]

Mo looked down at the flustered little starfish on the reef with interest, and asked her if she had anything to say.

[Master, although it is not intelligent, it is very obedient and cute, can you not eat it. ]

Mo said, "Didn't you want to dedicate it to me in exchange for the position of attendant?" 】

Ziyue looked at Zixing helplessly, and Zixing asked [Master, can this position be replaced by another one?Whatever it is, we can definitely do it. ]

Mo said [No. 】

Ziyue said somewhat dejectedly [Okay. ], and finally made up my mind [I beg the master to return the little conch to me, please don't hurt it. ]

[Don't want to be an attendant? 】

[Of course I want to!But the little conch and I already have feelings. Although it is an uninitiated creature, I don't want to be your attendant by hurting it. ]

Mo said [You also know that it is not enlightened, it will never understand what you call "emotions". 】

[It's not important, master, I'm already very satisfied to see you at such a close distance again and talk to you for so long.I guess I'm too greedy, always wanting to get more bit by bit.But I don't want my dream to be bought by hurting someone close to me.I don't think I'm cruel, I still want to live with a clear conscience. ]

Mo put the oath conch next to Ziyue, and Ziyue rushed over to hug the little conch, and said to Mo with a sob, "Thank you, master, thank you. ]

Mo squeezed his left hand and stretched it out again, three sea spirit beads appeared out of thin air in his empty palm.

Ziyue looked at Mo suspiciously, [Master? ]

Mo said [here you three. 】

[Thank you master. ] Zixing took the sea spirit beads from Mo's palm one by one and handed them to Ziyue and Little Conch.

The little conch had never eaten this kind of thing before, so he hugged Hai Lingzhu and licked it with great interest.

[Do you have a name? 】

This sudden question made Zixing and Ziyue a little puzzled, but they still shook their heads together, and Xiao Hailuo followed suit when he saw this.

Mo looked up at the bright moon and twinkling stars in the night sky, and said to Zixing and Ziyue [from now on, you will be called Zixing, Ziyue and Yaoguang. 】

Ziyue was very happy, she had never thought about what her name would be. [Okay, thank you master for giving us names. ]

Zixing also said [Thank you, master. ]

Yaoguang licked the Sea Lingzhu, while shaking his pair of tentacles to look at Ziyue and Mo.

What made Zixing and Ziyue even more astonished was that Mo was about to leave when the morning light was twilight, and when he left, he took the two of them and Fluctlight with him.

[Owner? ]

[Owner? ]

Zixing and Ziyue are full of doubts.

Mo said, "Attendant, of course you have to follow me. 】

[Owner! ! ] Ziyue was overjoyed, and after a cry of surprise, she suddenly hugged Zixing beside her and began to cry loudly in Mo's palm.

Zixing was also very surprised, this development was completely unexpected, but Ziyue's wish was finally fulfilled, which was also what he wanted.

Mo mainly lives on the edge of his territorial sea, which is regarded as a wild place. Most ordinary intelligent creatures choose places with abundant water plants and rich food, so after becoming Mo's attendant, Zi Xing and Zi Yue have not seen many of them. a psychic creature.

In addition to his own sea area, Mo, who is already the Siren King, will also visit other sea areas to understand the situation of the Senlan Sea under his jurisdiction.Through this, Zixing and Ziyue were able to see a wider world and sea area and thousands of creatures.

During the days of being Mo's attendant, Zixing, Ziyue and Yaoguang would be fed a sea spirit bead by Mo every once in a while.

When patrolling the sea area, Dao was also summoned to accompany him. He was a little surprised to see Zixing and Ziyue, but he still greeted the two little guys friendly.

[Good evening, little ones. ]

[Brother Island is good. ] Purple Star responded.

[Brother Island is good.My name is Ziyue, my lover's name is Zixing, and the conch beside me is called Yaoguang, both of which are the names given to us by the master. ]

Dao nodded, looked at Mo, [Are you bringing these three little guys with you on this visit to Sen Lanhai? ]

[Um. ]

[Okay, Zixing, Ziyue, you two attach to my shell, grab the fluctuating light, and I will take you with me.There may be strong winds and waves on the road, so you must hold on to me. ]

[[Okay, thank you Brother Island. ]]

Ziyue asked Dao a question of her own, [Brother Dao, you are so far away from the master, can you still hear the master's call? ]

Shima smiled and nodded, [Yes, the connection between me and the master is not limited by space.Maybe one day, you can too. ]

Most of the time, Zixing and Ziyue are attached to the island, and their current swimming speed is far behind Mohe Island.

However, Mo has been training them in a planned way. After swimming for a while, Mo will let Zixing and Ziyue get off the island to swim with them.Although Mo Hedao deliberately slowed down, Zixing and Ziyue still chased very hard.

However, it was through this kind of exercise that the speed of the two swimming became faster and faster, and the time they could continue swimming became longer and longer.

Whenever they came to a sea area where intelligent creatures gathered, Mo would allow Zixing and Ziyue to play freely for a while, and when they had enough, they would return to their agreed place to meet.

Taking this opportunity, Zixing and Ziyue also got acquainted with intelligent creatures in many sea areas.There were a few who had a special chat with them, asking Zixing and Ziyue where they came from and where they were going, and the two also told the truth that they were following Mo to patrol the Senlanhai, but the result was that no one believed it. , thinking that Zixing and Ziyue are bragging.Because Zixing and Ziyue are ordinary little starfish, they don't think they have a chance to follow the Siren King of the Senlan Sea.

Zixing and Ziyue were not angry, after all, what they said was the truth and they had a clear conscience.

Ziyue said to Zixing [We are really lucky, right? ]

Zixing nodded, "But the harder you work, the luckier you will be. If we hadn't traveled thousands of miles to find the sworn conch, we would never have met the owner at that time and place."If we hadn't brought back fluctlights, we wouldn't have spoken to our master about wanting to be squires.As for the master's willingness to take us, I think it should be because we have done something that no other intelligent creature has done, so the master will accept us.We are indeed ordinary starfish, but because you have different ideals and fighting spirit from other intelligent creatures, we have become the two most special starfish in Senlan Sea. ]

Ziyue hugged Zixing, [I was a little frustrated at first, as an ordinary starfish, I couldn't get the appreciation and recognition of other intelligent creatures.But hearing what you said, I also think that we two are amazing starfish haha, the only two in the whole forest blue sea. ]

Zixing hugged Ziyue back, [Well, and the master has recognized us, you have realized your dream, that's enough.The eyes and thoughts of others have nothing to do with us anymore.Our own hard work, steadfastness and happiness are the most important things. ]
