Picked up a deep sea lord

Ye Jian had a dream.

The ancient trees studded with spars and the crystal-clear lake are still extremely familiar scenes.

He squatted down by the lake, this time it was not the silver-haired red-eyed mermaid who accompanied him this time, but the little black fish from before.

The little fish was probably thinking about what Ye Jian said last time it was ugly, so he only swam around a little far from the lake shore, leaving Ye Jian with a dark back very coldly.

Ye Jian stretched out her hand, and lightly touched the surface of the lake with her slender fingers, causing slight ripples.

The little fish turned his head, staring at Ye Jian with ruby ​​eyes for a few seconds, then slowly swam over, touching his head lightly to his fingertips.

Ye Jian's eyes were soft, and she was about to say something——

The little fish bit him.

Jump away quickly.

Ye Jian: "..."

The dream receded without warning, and he opened his eyes.

His nostrils were filled with a strong smell of blood, and his temples ached slightly.Ye Jian didn't care to check her condition, sat up on the ground, turned her head——

A little mermaid was curling up beside him.

Luo Ling hugged his arm, her black hair was messy and stuck to her pale face, and her beautiful black fish tail was smudged by the mud, hanging down limply.

His eyes were closed tightly, and fine black scales appeared on both sides of the corners of the eyes, like shimmering broken diamonds.On the right arm, there was a bone-deep wound that was bloody and bloody, and beside it was a row of clear tooth marks.

Ye Jian's heart ached immediately, she gently picked up the little mermaid, and pressed the back of her hand against his face, feeling cold.

Luo Ling's favorite little blanket had long since disappeared. Ye Jian tore off a corner of her slightly clean coat, carefully held Luo Ling's right hand, and bandaged his wound.

Luo Ling, who was in a coma, probably felt a little pain, his brows were knit together, and he hummed vaguely.

Ye Jian said softly: "Hey, bear with it, it will be fine soon."

Probably hearing his words, Luo Ling fell silent obediently, buried her face in his arms after a few seconds, and curled up into a small ball.

Ye Jian touched the little mermaid's hair, carefully bandaged his wound, and observed the scales at the corners of his eyes.

Black scales dotted the corners of Luo Ling's eyes in fine detail, and the farther away from the eyes, the color changed from dark to light, with a slight obsidian-like luster.

Ye Jian remembered that when she met Luo Ling for the first time, the little mermaid was dying in the stagnant lake, with scales growing out of the corners of its eyes.

Ye Jian's fingers moved slightly, and a sharp black silk thread outlined between her fingers, cutting a thin opening.

Blood oozed out, and Ye Jian gently brought her finger to Luo Ling's mouth.Luo Ling was unconscious and subconsciously bit down.

Soon, his pale face became a little more bloody, and the scales at the corners of his eyes gradually faded away.

Ye Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he raise his head and look around.

The first thing that catches the eye is a blood red.

In the deep cave, the corpses of several strange beasts were lying around the two of them. There was not a trace of scar on the body, only the head was neatly severed, and the blood stained the dark green vegetation, pattering and merging into a river.

Ye Jian frowned slightly.

Gu Mei said that although the beasts that died in the nest would also turn into crystals, the crystals would soon dissolve and be absorbed by the nest.

And now, these beasts haven't even turned into spars—that is, they've just died.

However, it is by no means dead by cannibalism.

They were killed by people, and they were decisive and fierce, killing them with one blow.

Even Ye Jian himself was not sure if he could do this under the combined attack of so many alien beasts.

Ye Jian lowered her head and looked at the little mermaid in her arms.

Luo Ling still didn't feel it, but his brows gradually loosened, and he was no longer as uncomfortable as before.

He leaned against Ye Jian's warm arms, probably feeling very comfortable, and rubbed his soft face against Ye Jian a few times.

Ye Jian was afraid that Luo Ling would touch his injured right hand, so he gently supported it in a posture that would not make him uncomfortable, and waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, Luo Ling slowly opened his eyes.

The pain in the tail of the fish disappeared, and the brain was no longer drowsy.After only being in a coma for a while, his condition improved a lot.

Although his arm was just injured and it was painful, when Luo Ling raised his face and met Ye Jian's eyes, he suddenly felt that his right hand didn't hurt so much anymore.

"Ye Jian," Luo Ling said obediently without waiting for the people around her to say anything, "I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize?" Ye Jian said gently, "I seem to be the one who wants to say sorry."

After all, it was he who failed to control Black Wing, and the two fell from the sky.

Luo Ling: "But, I was the one who scared Ye Jian first—"

"You didn't scare me," Ye Jian said, "You didn't scare me when you sang."

Luo Ling: "?"

"Anyway, don't say I'm sorry." Ye Jian patted the little mermaid with a smile, and changed the subject, "How is your wound? Does it still hurt?"

Luo Ling shook her head: "It doesn't hurt very much."

The wound on his right arm was nothing compared to the pain of the fishtail before.

Moreover, his right hand was well bandaged and tied with a beautiful knot.

Luo Ling liked the bow that Ye Jian gave him.

"Then, what happened to you before?" Ye Jian said. "You've been off since yesterday, and why did you bite yourself just now?"

Luo Ling blinked: "It's just...sudden sleepiness."

Ye Jian looked at him.

Luo Ling looked at him innocently.

Ye Jian: "If you keep lying to me, I won't buy candied haws for you."

Luo Ling: "!"

"I won't go back to the sea with you in the future," Ye Jian sullenly said, "Because you always refuse to tell me the truth."

Luo Ling: "!!"

Luo Ling immediately grabbed the corner of Ye Jian's clothes: "I'll tell you now!"

"Actually, my wound was a little painful a few days ago." The little mermaid's ear fins drooped slightly, honestly, "After getting close to this nest, I don't know why it hurts even more."

"The reason why I bit myself...was because I had hallucinations from the pain, thinking that I had encountered a monster."

For other reasons, he could tell Ye Jian in detail.

Only the last point, he still wants to hide.

At that time, he was so weak that he couldn't even control himself, unable to suppress his thirst for Ye Jian's blood.

The mermaid is still a bloodthirsty beast in his bones, but luckily in the end, he still defeated himself and this instinct.

Luo Ling lowered her eyes, and her eyes were dark.

No matter what, he didn't want to hurt Ye Jian.

Ye Jian treated him very well and was his most important person, so he didn't want Ye Jian to hate him either.

Ye Jian frowned slightly after hearing Luo Ling's words, Luo Ling immediately said: "Actually, I'm much better now, the pain is gone, really."

To prove this point, he even shook his tail at Ye Jian.

With the tip of the fish tail dangling back and forth, the little mermaid said softly: "Brother, don't be angry, I will never lie to my brother again."

Ye Jian said nothing.

Luo Ling looked at him eagerly.

"...Okay." In the end, Ye Jian relented, "Is it really not uncomfortable now?"

Luo Ling nodded.

Ye Jian rubbed Luo Ling's hair, feeling a little guilty.

In fact, he should have thought of it earlier.

When we first met, Luo Ling's wound was bleeding, and it didn't take long for Ni Lin to lose it. The wound didn't heal for a long time, and of course it would recur.

His blood can relieve Luo Ling's pain, but after the first day, Luo Ling is no longer willing to hurt him because of this.

...So these days, this little mermaid has endured silently?

Ye Jian was silent for a few seconds, and said, "I heard that there is a medicine that can relieve pain, and I will buy it for you to try when I get back."

Luo Ling: "What kind of medicine?"

Ye Jian: "Forgot, I'll check when I go back."

Luo Ling nodded, and whispered: "Actually, human medicine is useless to me. If it's expensive, forget it."

Ye Jian: "Don't worry, it won't be very expensive."

After finishing speaking, he planned to skip the topic, and said softly, "How are you doing now? Can you go?"

Luo Ling nodded.

He is in good spirits now, arguably the best these days.

Ye Jian hugged the little mermaid and got up, and Luo Ling finally noticed the surrounding environment at this moment.

He was shocked.

"These strange beasts..." Luo Ling said, "Did Ye Jian kill them?"

Because in the nest, the corpses of those strange beasts were still not turned into spars, but lay stiff on the ground.

Even if Luo Ling knew that Ye Jian was very strong, such a number shocked him a little.

Ye Jian lowered her head: "Don't you remember?"

Luo Ling stared at him blankly and shook her head.

Ye Jian: "I didn't kill them, I think you should have done it."

Luo Ling was even more sluggish: "How could it be me, I have no strength."

He is still an underage little mermaid!

"But, there is no one else here except us." Ye Jian blinked, "What if you are so powerful and your power suddenly explodes."

Luo Ling fell silent.

Even though Ye Jian said so, he still didn't quite believe that he solved these strange beasts by himself.

However, when he tried to recall, some vague memories did flash through his mind-splashed blood, screams of pain, and... violent pleasure.

Luo Ling suddenly lowered her head, frowned, and covered her head.

Ye Jian was startled, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." Just a moment later, Luo Ling looked up as usual, "I just had a headache, but it's just a headache."

This sentence does not lie.

When he gave up trying to recall that memory forcefully, the headache went away.

Ye Jian frowned, and hugged Luo Ling tightly: "It's okay, anyway, the alien beast has been eliminated, we are safe now."

"Let's go."

He just wanted to take Luo Ling out of here as soon as possible, so that the little mermaid would no longer be affected.

Luo Ling nestled in Ye Jian's arms obediently, the fish's tail no longer hurt, and there was a warm and familiar atmosphere around him. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and rubbed lightly against Ye Jian like a kitten.

Ye Jian looked at the clingy little mermaid, her eyes slightly bent, and poked his face when she thought of something.

"Look at the teeth."

Luo Ling opened her mouth: "Ah."

Sharp teeth!

Ye Jian sighed lightly: "I believe you are very good at catching fish."

No wonder he bit himself like this just now, and the wound was so deep.

Thinking of this, Ye Jian said again: "Go back and find a small file to grind your teeth."

Luo Ling: "?"

Ye Jian: "I won't save you from biting yourself."

Luo Ling: "??"

Luo Ling looked at Ye Jian in horror, Ye Jian's eyes were slightly bent: "You're kidding."

"...My brother knows how to tease me."

Luo Ling muttered.

"Brother is too much."

Ye Jian: "Because you are cute."

Luo Ling was happy for a second.

The valley was deep and deep, and various unknown plants grew in disorder. Ye Jian and Luo Ling looked up, but they could only see the empty darkness.

A few minutes later, Ye Jian closed his eyes lightly, and the black lines were drawn and intertwined behind his back, but before they were woven into wings, they dissipated like a puff of smoke.

"No, I can't fly." Ye Jian said, "It seems that we can only walk over."

When he just fell, he suddenly felt something, and realized the new ability of flying, but he still couldn't fully control it.

Luo Ling lay on Ye Jian's shoulder: "It's okay."

As long as Ye Jian is here, he doesn't care.

Although the two couldn't recognize the direction, Gu Mei said that the core was in the deepest part of the nest, so they headed all the way to the depths.

Not long after, they vaguely heard something.

"Go! Don't stop!"

A hoarse female voice fell, and soon someone cried, like Orr's voice: "Captain! What are you doing, Captain!"

——At the corner, in the middle of an empty flat ground, Gu Mei straightened her back, her left hand was dripping with blood, her right hand turned into a vine, and the vine forked out tough branches, barely entangled the three roaring beasts.

Behind her are the two remaining D-level watchmen in the team, Orr and Gordon.They looked even more embarrassed than Gu Mei, their clothes were torn, their faces were covered with blood, and they couldn't even stand upright.

On the other hand, the three strange beasts had wounds on their bodies, but they were all minor injuries. One of the strange beasts rushed forward and tore off a large piece of vine.

Gu Mei trembled all over, clenched her teeth tightly, turned her head and yelled at the other two: "Go! Go!!"

Orr cried loudly: "Captain! We will not leave you behind, we will die together!"

With a cry, he rushed forward heroically.

In the next second, there was a slap, and he fell to the ground on his face.

Gu Mei: "..."

At the same time, another beast broke through the shackles of the vines, roaring and rushing towards her.

Finished!

The bloody mouth rushed to the front in an instant, Gu Mei only felt that my life was over, and subconsciously closed her eyes tightly.

However, the expected severe pain did not appear.

Even though the roar of the strange beast was right next to his ears, the guillotine did not fall for a long time.A second later, Gu Mei quietly opened one eye.

The gushing blood happened to splash on her face.

Gu Mei: "..."

The stench coming from the nostrils almost made people faint, Gu Mei numbly wiped her face, raised her eyes, the black silk thread all over the sky was like a scythe waved by the god of death, wrapped in the breath of death, and instantly strangled the strange beast in front of her.

Gu Mei was slightly taken aback.

The slender black silk threads were tougher than the vines, and like cold steel needles, they pierced through the limbs of the remaining two beasts in an instant, nailing them to death in place with a condescending attitude.

A pale and slender finger wrapped around the silk thread, like a puppet manipulating the thread, hooked lightly.

Bloody light, like blooming red fireworks.

Amidst the blood curtain, a cold and handsome young man stepped forward, and the rain of blood fell, not staining him or the little mermaid in his arms.

"..."

Gu Meiol and Gordon all stared wide-eyed, unable to believe the scene in front of them.

A total of three alien beasts, two c-level and one d-level, were instantly killed in an understatement!

As the captain of the explorer team, Gu Mei knew very well that alien beasts are not creatures that live in groups.On the contrary, they are withdrawn by nature, and it is basically difficult to meet more than two strange beasts at the same time in the wilderness—however, once the strange beasts are dispatched at the same time, the horror they bring will also multiply dramatically.

They have seen such horror just now, and even almost died because of it.But for Ye Jian, the so-called terror was just a raise of his hand, which could be resolved in just a few seconds.

What a difference!

After a few seconds of sluggishness, Orr burst out the first word: "Damn!"

"The boss is the boss! You are awesome! From today on, you are my father!!"

Ye Jian: "?"

Gu Mei covered Orr's mouth and said gratefully: "Thank you! You really deserve to be Mr. Ye, so strong!"

Ye Jian raised her hand to stop their thanks, and glanced over the three of them: "You are not in a good condition."

Gu Mei smiled and shook her head: "It's a blessing to be able to survive."

When she fell from a high altitude before, she urgently used her arms to turn into vines to catch herself and the other two, which saved her from death.

"This nest is still too dangerous for us." Speaking of this, Gu Mei felt lingering fear, "Fortunately, there is Mr. Ye, otherwise we would not be able to protect our city at all."

Ye Jian: "Don't say so much, let's rest first."

After the fierce battle just now, the three of Gu Mei were not in a good state.Gordon opened the bag that he had been holding tightly when he ran away, took out the bandage and hemostatic medicine from it, and distributed them to Ye Jian first.

Ye Jian thanked her, untied the cloth strip wrapped around Luo Ling's right arm, and found that the wound, which was still bloody and bloody before, was showing signs of scabbing.

Ye Jian: "It seems to have recovered a little?"

Luo Ling: "Yes, I have a strong recovery ability!"

He raised his face, looking like Ye Jian was about to praise me.

Ye Jian smiled lightly: "It's amazing."

He couldn't help but recall that when the two first met, Luo Ling had only one obvious wound on Ni Lin's body.He didn't notice it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, this villain was probably covered in bruises before he met him, and he just survived by relying on his healing ability.

Ye Jian fell silent, opened the bottle of hemostatic medicine, and said softly, "It may hurt a little, bear with it."

Luo Ling nodded.

The snow-white medicinal powder spilled onto the wound, almost at the moment of touching it, Luo Ling gasped, and her dark eyes were covered with wet light.

Ye Jian paused: "Does it hurt so much?"

"No, it doesn't hurt," Luo Ling whispered, "Brother, don't worry about me."

Ye Jian frowned, Luo Ling shook the corner of his clothes lightly, her voice was soft and low: "Brother touch me, and it won't hurt me."

Ye Jian immediately touched his head: "Is that so?"

Luo Ling bowed her head obediently, and said "Yes".

During the process of applying the medicine afterwards, every time Luo Ling showed a painful expression, Ye Jian would touch his head.

After touching it too many times, Ye Jian suddenly felt that something was not right.

Luo Ling didn't seem to have such a big reaction when her fish tail hurt before. Does this medicine powder really hurt so much?

Ye Jian lowered her head, just in time to meet Luo Ling looking at him with wet eyes, her ear fins were limp and drooping, pitifully.

Ye Jian's heart softened immediately, and she put aside her thoughts just now, and continued to pet the little mermaid.

Luo Ling lowered her eyes meekly, the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

After the right arm was finally bandaged, Ye Jian hugged Luo Ling and got up, and found that Gu Mei and the other three had already treated the wounds on their bodies, and even had time to sit cross-legged on the ground and play cards secretly.

"Yes three."

"I'm sorry."

Ye Jian: "?"

"Cough!" Gu Mei caught him standing up from the corner of the eye, and immediately flipped the cards over, coughing dryly, "Get up, you guys are serious, what kind of cards are you playing, it's too much!"

After finishing speaking, she turned to Ye Jian as if nothing had happened: "Shall we go now?"

Ye Jian: "...Let's go."

Holding Luo Ling in his arms, he and Gu Mei went to the deepest part of the valley again.

A few people walked a certain distance, and Orr said happily: "It's great, there are no strange beasts in this area, it looks very safe—"

As soon as the words fell, Gordon, who was the last one, suddenly heard the sound of wind whistling behind him.

Gordon's heart skipped a beat, and he yelled, "No!"

When he turned his head, he saw a black figure rushing out from a certain corner, the speed was so fast that it was difficult to catch it with the naked eye.

Alien!

Ye Jian turned around quickly, but the strange beast moved even faster. When Ye Jian raised his hand, he had already thrown Gordon down, and opened his bloody mouth——

In the next second, the monster with the wings on its back and the head of a bird and the body of a beast suddenly stopped.

Its sharp claws sank into the ground, quickly took a few steps back, and let out low growls in its roar.

The roar was not a threat, but fear.

Gu Mei was shocked.

To make even a strange beast feel scared? !

She turned her head in astonishment, thinking that Ye Jian was intimidating the beast, but this time, she met a pair of dark eyes.

In Ye Jian's arms, Luo Ling stared at the strange beast indifferently, the bottom of her black eyes were like ice, and there was a faint glimmer of blood.

At this moment, not only the strange beast, but even Gu Meiol and Gordon felt the temperature around them plummet, as if they were trapped in an ice cave.

The strange beast trembled unceasingly, its whimpering became weaker, then it suddenly turned its head and quickly fled to the rear.

Ye Jian moved her fingers lightly, and the thread between her fingers freed, wrapping around the throat of the strange beast like lightning.

Where the eyes of Gu Mei and the other three couldn't see, there was also a black thread flowing from the body of the strange beast.One of them was passing through its throat.

The black thread was connected to the silk thread between Ye Jian's fingers, intertwined and fused together.

——The scream of the strange beast lasted only for a moment, and then stopped abruptly.

Gu Mei: So strong!

After entering the nest, no matter what level of beast it was in front of Ye Jian, it seemed that it was only eligible to be instantly killed.

But what shocked Gu Mei even more was the strength that Luo Ling had just shown.

Isn't the mermaid the weakest beast?Although she knew that Luo Ling was special, when would this little mermaid who usually only likes to cling to Ye Jian and act like a baby be able to deter a strange beast?

Even though he had lost Nilin, he was still alive, and he didn't feel uncomfortable after being away from the water source for so long, and he could even scare a strange beast with a single glance...

Gu Mei was in a complicated mood.

Is this really just an ordinary little mermaid?

And who is Ye Jian beside him?

For a moment, Gu Mei looked at Ye Jian and Luo Ling with mysterious eyes.

Ye Jian noticed Gu Mei's gaze, but he didn't care, but bowed his head.

Luo Ling tilted her face slightly, and shook her tail at him.

"That's amazing," Ye Jianyu said with a smile, "Your power has awakened?"

After receiving Ye Jian's praise, Luo Ling was a little happy, but also a little embarrassed and said: "No, only a little."

In fact, it was just a subconscious action just now, but he could clearly feel that his sealed power suddenly opened a gap, like a crack at the tip of an iceberg.

Before the mermaid became an adult, his strength could not be awakened at all, and he was so weak that he could be slaughtered by others.And he is not yet an adult, but he already has power.

This is also a special case that has never appeared in the mermaid family.

However, all Luo Ling thought about now was: great, he can protect Ye Jian now.

Hmm... Although he is not very strong yet, and his strength is only a little bit, but this little bit of strength also means that he already has the qualifications to protect Ye Jian.

Seeing the happy appearance of this little mermaid, Ye Jian couldn't help but praise him again: "That's amazing too!"

Luo Ling's eyebrows were curved, and her soft ear fins rubbed against Ye Jian's face.

"Mr. Ye," Gu Mei quietly approached, "I would like to ask, how old is your little mermaid?"

Ye Jian thought of Luo Ling's "advanced age" at 58, paused for a second, and said softly, "Not yet."

Gu Mei: It's numb.

The three of them together are not as good as minors.

Gu Mei wandered away, and Ye Jian poked Luo Ling's face: "Speaking of which, if you awaken your power, does it mean that you are almost an adult?"

Luo Ling thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't know."

Mermaids have to go through a difficult period of awakening before they become adults, and the elders of the mermaid clan usually guide and protect the mermaids who are about to grow up.When those mermaids successfully survived the awakening period and entered adulthood, their companions in the clan would sing and hold lively celebration ceremonies for them.

But now, no one will guide Luo Ling, let alone tell him what the signs of the awakening period will be and how to get through it.

When he really comes of age, his people will not be happy for him.

Luo Ling's expression was not gloomy, Ye Jian's only figure was reflected in his quiet eyes.

"During the awakening period, I may feel very uncomfortable." Luo Ling said, "It may also become Ye Jian's burden and drag Ye Jian down."

"It's okay," Ye Jian said softly, "You are not a small burden, I will protect you."

Luo Ling: "Well...the awakening period may also be very long, I don't know how long it will last."

Ye Jian: "It's okay, we have a lot of time."

"Then," Luo Ling gently grabbed the corner of his clothes, "If I don't make it through, I will die during the awakening period..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jian covered his mouth.

Luo Ling: "No."

"Don't think too much," Ye Jian said with a cold face, "I won't let anything happen to you."

Speaking of this, he paused, and smiled at the little mermaid: "When you pass the awakening period, we will go buy a lot of delicious food and celebrate."

Luo Ling clearly engraved Ye Jian's smile into his eyes, and nodded heavily.

He began to look forward to adulthood, to the awakening period when life and death were unknown.

It doesn't matter if there are no clansmen, as long as Ye Jian is there, he will not be afraid and shrink back.

As long as Ye Jian is by his side...

Luo Ling gently buried her face in Ye Jian's shoulder.

Ye Jian stared at this clingy little mermaid, thinking to herself, wondering what Luo Ling will look like when she grows up.

Inexplicably, he remembered the silver-haired and red-eyed mermaid that once appeared in his dream.

Although that mermaid's temperament is cold and cold, but...it's pretty good-looking.

Ye Jian: "When you grow up, you will definitely be a good-looking mermaid."

Luo Ling was a little happy: "I think so too."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Ye Jian is also very good-looking, the most beautiful person I have ever met!"

Ye Jian: Well, your mouth is so sweet.

He hugged the sweet little mermaid and walked forward.

The deep valley became deeper and deeper, and it didn't take long for the space around everyone to be much narrower, and the road began to be rough and difficult.

Gu Mei: "It's almost there."

The deeper you go, the fewer strange beasts there are.It was not that they had not been attacked along the way, but they were all easily dealt with by Ye Jian.

Even if he encountered that kind of beast that was extremely fast and used sneak attacks, he couldn't escape Luo Ling's shock.

Once they met his cold eyes, those strange beasts trembled and shuddered.

Although it was just a newly awakened power, Luo Ling was able to master it quickly, as if she had possessed this power for a long time.

——In this way, the group of people can be said to have approached the deepest part of the valley very smoothly, even a little too smoothly.

There was a weird smell in the air.

Orr stopped and covered his nose: "It smells so bad."

"However, although it smells bad, it's very quiet here, and it doesn't seem to be different..."

Gu Mei and Gordon: "Shut up."

All three of them stopped in place, only Ye Jian was still walking forward.

He was not affected by the strange smell, on the contrary, something more appeared in his vision.

——In Ye Jian's eyes, on the stone wall of the deep valley, densely packed tree roots intertwine, and crystal liquid flows between the roots, emitting soft fluorescence.

The roots of the tree are twisted, wrapped in the fluorescent river, spreading all the way to the narrowest part of the deep valley, where he can't reach...

"Ye Jian... Ye Jian!"

Luo Ling's voice went from low to high, Ye Jian regained consciousness and lowered her eyes.

Luo Ling held his arm tightly, her face full of uneasiness and worry.

"What's wrong with you?" The little mermaid asked nervously, "Is there something wrong?"

Ye Jian was slightly startled: "What?"

"Mr. Ye!"

Gu Mei and the others hurried over. They just called Ye Jian several times but there was no response from the other party. Fortunately, it was Luo Ling who stopped Ye Jian in time.

Ye Jian met their eyes, and after a while, she suddenly realized why they were so flustered.

——At this time, the land just one inch in front of him was not a flat land, but the mouth of a cliff, a deep abyss.

The abyss is pitch black and has no end, like a giant black mouth quietly opening, waiting for the people above to step in.

He looked up again, and on the other side of the cliff was the hard rock wall of the deep valley, and there were no fluorescent tree roots flowing at all.

Everything just now seemed to be just a phantom, or a trap.

The only strange thing was that from the beginning to the end, only Ye Jian was affected.

"..."

After a brief silence, Ye Jian looked at Luo Ling.

"It's okay," he said, "I just wanted to see how deep it is down here."

Luo Ling didn't believe it at all: "Really?"

"Really," Ye Jian nodded seriously, "It's more real than your candied haws."

"..."

Luo Ling still didn't believe it.

However, seeing that Ye Jian had indeed returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief, and still held onto him tightly with one hand, refusing to let go.

Just one step away, he was about to fall into the abyss with Ye Jian.

But even so, he did not run away from Ye Jian, but held onto this person tightly.

Just like it is now.

"I didn't expect that there was a cliff below."

Gu Mei said.

"Mr. Ye, what should we do now? We seem to have come to a dead end."

While speaking, she secretly looked at Ye Jian's expression.

Just now, Mr. Ye seemed to be affected by this nest?

Gu Mei thought to herself.

However, only the strange beast will be affected by the nest, just like that little mermaid - also a strange beast, he appeared strange when he first entered here.

Why... Mr. Ye is also affected?

Ye Jian didn't care about Gu Mei's gaze, and thought for a few seconds: "I'll go down and have a look."

As soon as the words fell, a pair of black wings suddenly spread out from behind him.

Although unable to fly, as long as the pair of black wings spread out, it can help him maintain his balance during the fall.

Gu Mei: Grass, what handsome wings!

Then she said: "Wait! We will go with you!"

Ye Jian: "No need."

"Take us with you!" Auer stepped forward, "Although we are overwhelmed, we want to help you!"

Ye Jian turned her head and looked at them: "I don't despise your strength."

Gu Mei asked anxiously: "What is that for?"

Ye Jian said softly, "You guys are too heavy."

Gu Mei and the others: "..."

Ye Jian hugged the light little mermaid in her arms: "I can't bear it."

Gu Mei and the others: "..."

For a while, they were unable to refute.

In the end, the three of them stood on the edge of the cliff and watched Ye Jian jump down with Luo Ling in his arms. The black wings spread from the air, and the figure quickly disappeared into the huge darkness.

Orr: "Only relying on Mr. Ye and that mermaid...is it really all right?"

Gu Mei squatted down on the edge of the cliff: "I'll try to see if I can reach it with vines, but it will take time."

Gordon: "Don't worry too much. The nest beast hasn't been born yet, and even if it's born at most, it's only B-level. Mr. Ye can definitely handle it."

Orr's eyes lit up: "That's right, a mere B-level nest beast is nothing to worry about for Mr. Ye, haha!"

Gu Mei: "..."

Gu Mei: "From now on, you are not allowed to say a word."

Swish.

The thin black wings turned into countless black threads, and dispersed like shadows.

Ye Jian protected Luo Ling with one hand, and stepped on the ground lightly.

At this time, they came to the bottom of the cliff, the bottom of the deep valley.

It is a cold and lifeless space.

There is no vegetation, it is cold and bleak, and there is no sky.

Luo Ling thought to herself: It's so cold.

His blanket had long since disappeared, and the cold air penetrated into his skin and pierced his bone marrow without any barrier.

He couldn't help shrinking into Ye Jian's arms, subconsciously absorbing the warmth of this person.

Ye Jian hugged the little mermaid tightly, trying to keep him warm with her own body temperature: "Don't worry, it will be resolved soon."

Luo Ling nodded obediently, and then looked at him eagerly: "Can I have hot soup when I go back?"

Ye Jian: "Okay."

When he said this, he thought of something, and tilted his head: "Or I will do it for you."

This morning, when the people in the camp were cooking breakfast, he stood by and watched.

The steps of cooking are very simple, and he thinks he can do it himself.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ling fell suspiciously silent.

Ye Jian: "?"

Ye Jian poked Luo Ling: "Why don't you talk?"

Luo Ling blinked: "Brother...can you do it?"

Ye Jian: "Yes."

"Bar."

Luo Ling: "..."

Luo Ling still wanted to struggle: "Then tell me how to do it?"

Ye Jian: "Well, just do this and that first, then that and that - it's very simple."

Luo Ling: "Okay... bah."

Since Ye Jian made it for him, he would eat it no matter what.

Big deal, big deal...

The little mermaid was heartbroken, closed her eyes, and had a heroic and resolute look on her face.

Ye Jian: "?"

He hasn't started yet!

Not an iota of trust!

Ye Jian poked Luo Ling expressionlessly.

Poke again.

Luo Ling hugged Ye Jian's hand innocently.

The two continued to move forward. There was a lot of space at the bottom of the deep valley. After walking a few steps, Ye Jian suddenly felt something was wrong.

A strange gaze fell on them.

In an instant, the space twisted strangely, and Ye Jian's arms suddenly lightened.

Luo Ling disappeared.

Ye Jian: "..."

Ye Jian: "???"

Where is his little mermaid?

What about a little mermaid as big as him? ? ?
