Survival game by confession [unlimited]

Xiao Ji looked at the old king, the lifespan of a mermaid is usually extremely long, more than ten times that of a human.Under such circumstances, the other party probably knew some secret information about the Gloomy Forest.

The old king sighed.

"Actually, the Dark Forest was not called the Dark Forest at the beginning. At that time, it was not as barren as it is now. Even if the fish that could be prey were scarce, there was a kind of shellfish that could heal the wounds, often Some mermaids also go there to pick.

But I don't know when, a group of weird mermaids suddenly appeared in that forest.These mermaids don't use the common language of mermaids outside, they appear in groups, wander in the forest, and kill all the mermaids that enter it.

Many of our merfolk were killed by them after entering that forest and never came back.

I was only 20 years old that year, which was about the same age as you.

At that time, I was a young and energetic man who had just become the king. When I heard the news, I was furious. I immediately led an army of 5000 people deep into the dark forest, trying to conquer those weird red-haired mermaids and make them my king. of the people. "

"What happened later?" Xiao Ji asked.

The old king subconsciously looked at his shoulder, where there was still a deep bloody scar.

"Later, less than 300 of the [-] soldiers survived, and the rest were all buried there... Even I was seriously injured and almost never returned."

"There is also a very strange point that when we were fighting those red-tailed mermaids. I found that those red-tailed mermaids didn't breathe at all, or in other words, although their bodies were still able to move and kill, but in essence But he is already dead.

We call this red-haired and red-tailed mermaid [People of the Abyss].

——Those are not our fellows, but devils crawling out of the abyss. "

Since the defeat of that war, the old king ordered the closure of the Dark Forest, and set the forest and the nearby area as a forbidden area, prohibiting all fish from going there.Now that so many years have passed, fewer and fewer people remember that place, until Xiao Ji proposed to go there.

The old king's expression was a little serious.

"Remember, the people of the abyss can only be killed if their spines are completely cut off, otherwise they can still attack people."

"it is good."

Xiao Ji nodded, and he took out three bottles of healing potions from the locker, and another bottle of the light of the sacred wood, and put them on the table.

This information is indeed very important to him, which can help him save a lot of unnecessary casualties.

"But there is one more thing I must remind you.

We had an army of 5000 men at that time!And they are all young and strong adult fish!Haven't you ever been curious?Why even so, we still lost, and lost so badly? "

Xiao Ji raised his head and looked at him, but didn't speak, obviously he didn't intend to take the initiative to ask.

The old king gave a wry smile.

"But any mermaid killed by the people of the abyss, as long as the spine is still intact, will climb up from the ground again soon after, and come back to life.

But their hair color and tail color turned red like blood.

——The ordinary mermaid who was killed also became the people of the abyss.

They are infected! "

"That bloody, life-like power, you should have seen it in me too.

It was that kind of power that locked the ghosts who were supposed to go to the Sea Goddess Palace, turning them into puppets of the devil.

This is the last piece of advice I can give you as a father. "

The two were silent for a while without speaking.

"If there's nothing else you want to tell me, then I'm leaving."

Xiao Ji opened the hanging pearl curtain and was about to go out without a trace of nostalgia.

"You and I were really alike when we were young... If you were even two years older..."

The old king looked at his back and murmured.

Xiao Ji's hand that opened the door curtain paused.

"The fifth brother will be a very good king, and he will manage the country well."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be the one who sees the most clearly."

The old king sighed again, that's right, the heir that the old king wanted was neither the second prince, nor the third prince, nor the fourth prince, but the fifth prince who always looked mediocre.

The eldest prince has dedicated his body and mind to the Sea Goddess, and has no desire for the throne.

The momentum of the second prince, the heir whom the old king was optimistic about, was too strong. He was the one who poisoned the old king at that time. The old king was disappointed. He decided not to pass on the throne to a prince who wanted to kill himself.

The evenness between the third prince and the fourth prince was originally the result of the old king's intention. If he really liked one of the two, he would not have allowed them to be so tit for tat for many years.There is only one purpose for doing this, and that is to buy time for the growth of the fifth prince.

Next, the first thing the old king had to deal with was the second prince. With the mutual containment of the third prince and the fourth prince, it was not difficult.The second prince is in charge of the finances, and his power has been reduced, which can just be distributed to the fifth prince.

But these royal struggles have nothing to do with Xiao Ji.

Sitting on a tall sea beast, Xiao Ji recalled what the old king had said to him before he left the capital.

The dull horn sounded, and the 1000-man army set out from the capital and marched towards the dark forest.The dotted lights of the royal capital were quickly left behind, covered by the darkness in the deep sea.

The first thing Xiao Ji did when he got the army from the other princes was to break them up and mix them together. He didn't need these people to do anything for him, but after entering the dark forest, he could It is enough to play some pathfinding pieces.

【Master, that forest seems to be very dangerous.Is there anything ill can do for you? 】

Ill's gentle voice appeared in Xiao Ji's ears, and a faint illusory blue figure appeared in the dark deep sea, like a soft elf jellyfish.

Because Xiao Ji spent most of his time in this world under high-pressure water, ill's electronic equipment was also greatly restricted and basically unusable, so ill did not help Xiao Ji in this exam. .

But the other party did a lot of things for Duan Wenzhou and Yingmao on land.

[Stay by my side and be on guard at all times. 】

Looking at the hazy white light that disappeared behind him, Xiao Ji said.

[Okay, ill will always obey your orders.

My most beautiful, most powerful, most merciful master. 】

Ill leaned over slightly, impassively imprinted his lips on the silver ring of Xiao Ji's left ring finger.

This time when we went to the Dark Forest, Duan Wenzhou originally clamored to join them, but because the water pressure here was really too high.Unless there is a submarine that can withstand high pressure, it is impossible to enter such a deep sea with a human body.

And Xiao Ji did not agree that the other party would take risks with him. They still needed someone to stay on the shore to ensure the continuation of the main plot.This is what matters in the end. You must know that if the main plot of The Little Mermaid is not completed on time, the three of Xiao Ji will die in this exam because they fail the exam!

Although Duan Wenzhou was not by his side, Xiao Ji was not alone.

The 36 necromancer guards also rode black sea beasts to guard him, but the leader did not have a slender fish tail, but a pair of long legs wrapped in leather. Although he couldn't see his face, he could only tell from his human legs and round ears that this was not a mermaid, but a human.

This is Shura, as a bone puppet made by Xiao Ji, he doesn't need to breathe, and his body is hard enough, so under such circumstances, Xiao Ji chose to let him come out as an insurance policy.

At the beginning of this world, Xiao Ji did not release Shura because he considered the relationship between humans and mermaids.Letting such a shining human being by his side might cause trouble.

But now it doesn't matter.

With the protection of Shura and these dozens of death guards, even if some of the soldiers sent by the other princes wanted to take the opportunity to assassinate Xiao Ji, it was completely impossible.What's more, Xiao Ji's own combat power is not low. If there is really someone who is so courageous, then Xiao Ji doesn't mind letting him experience what a completely "painless" death is.

"Master, we have arrived."

Another more icy and cold voice came from Xiao Ji's side. The tall human man held back the sea beast, and looked at the extremely dark, tall black coral reefs waiting for them like a huge monster.

When Ill heard him address Xiao Ji, he looked sideways slightly.

It took three days for this 1000-man army to reach the Dark Forest from the capital.Xiao Ji took out the map that he had bought with a lot of money, and it took him some time to determine where they were now.

"Keep going."

he ordered.

Hearing this order, there was an uproar in the army immediately.

These soldiers were originally patched together remnants of scattered generals, so naturally they didn't have any loyalty to Xiao Ji, they just wanted to make a living.Moreover, the people sent by the princes could not be any elite army, most of them were soldiers or veterans who were eliminated due to injuries.

Hearing that they were going to go deep into the dark forest at this time, many people couldn't help but shrink back.

"No, that's the forest of death. I heard that no one who enters into it can leave alive!"

"Whoever you like will enter, anyway, I won't enter!"

"My grandma told us since we were young that there are devils in the forest of death! No, we must not enter! Otherwise, we will be eaten by the devils inside!"

Xiao Ji looked at these soldiers who had retreated before entering, and was not surprised. He had long thought that this might happen.It's just that he didn't expect that the Death Forest's reputation was so great, even when they arrived at the entrance of the Dark Forest, their hearts were already unstable.

"Shura."

He lowered his eyes and called out the bone puppet's name.

"Let them know what happens when they become deserters."

"Yes."

The human with a black mask jumped off the black sea beast and fell into the group of people who made the most noise. The halberd in his hand swept across and cut straight through the three most noisy soldiers. throat.

This was an almost inescapable difference in strength. The few mermaid soldiers fell to the ground before they even had time to take out their weapons.

The faint blue blood gushed out from their throats, and a thick blue blood mist surrounded them.The soldiers wrapped in this blood mist, without exception, felt the breath of death from it.

"Those who want to escape, die!"

A cold and deep voice came from the man's mouth, and along with the sea water reached the ears of every mermaid soldier present.

"Those who want to escape, die!"

The 36 death guards also held weapons and followed behind Shura.

Surrounded by them, the silver-tailed mermaid was still sitting on the sea beast, not even moving a single bit.

His long silver hair was mixed with the faint blue blood, emitting a faint light.The rose tattoo on his body writhed and grew in the bloody water, ready to emerge, like a demon.

All the mermaid soldiers present felt the deep, uncontrollable fear from their hearts.

"Follow me into the dark forest, you still have a chance to survive.

If you run away now, the only thing waiting for you is death. "

The man looked down at them and said coldly.
