Picked up a deep sea lord

In the bottomless cave, the faint light is sprinkled from the distant entrance. After a closer look, it is not the sunlight, but the reflection refracted by the mountain wall formed by the condensation of special crystals.

The ancient giant trees are towering, stretching out the dome of the cave, and the leaves are also special crystals, dotting the sky like the stars of the Milky Way.

Under the crown of the tree, the roots of the tree are twisted, flowing with fluorescent light, and the shallow broken light stars meander into a river.The pale young man was quietly sleeping at the bottom of the tree, his black hair scattered randomly, and gently connected with the roots of the tree.

The wind from nowhere blows over the stone wall, the leaves of the ancient trees rustle, melodious like ancient songs.The singing sound fell into the ears of the young man, he seemed to feel it, moved his fingertips slightly, and opened a pair of dark eyes.

The dim light flowed in the bottom of his eyes, and the young man looked in a trance, silently looking at this empty and silent cave.

who am I?

where am I?

With a dull pain in her brain, Ye Jian got up.With just a simple movement, the pain in the head immediately became clear, as if a steel needle had been pierced, there was a sharp pain.

His eyes were slightly slack, and he pressed his forehead silently.Amidst the headache, a doubt became clearer.

Why... he can't remember anything?

rustle.

The roots of the tree moved slightly, and a small branch emerged from the ground, carrying moist soil, gently wrapped around Ye Jian's fingertips.

Ye Jian lowered her eyes.

The fluorescence between the roots of the tree melted into his cold fingertips, and some information was transmitted silently. At this moment, he seemed to be connected with the ancient tree, and heard the soft voice falling from the vastness.

A few seconds later, Ye Jian murmured, "I want to leave here?"

The roots swayed slightly.

Ye Jian: "I want...to find something?"

The roots shake more frequently.

The trance in Ye Jian's eyes faded a bit, and she pressed her cold fingertips against the roots of the tree, rubbed them lightly, and thanked her silently.

The roots swayed quickly, bent and pointed, and circled into the shape of a love heart.

Ye Jian wanted to ask something else, but the tree roots had retracted into the soil and fell silent.

He was speechless for a moment, then raised his eyes.

How should I leave?

The cave is high, far, deep and wide, and the canopy of crystal stones covers the dome, so the sky cannot be seen.

if i could fly...

As soon as this thought came to her, Ye Jian slightly lowered her eyelashes.

The space distorted for a moment, and ripples appeared.Countless pitch-black silk threads emerged in the void, and the slender and sharp threads were filled with a faint black mist, and they were gently outlined as a pair of black wings.

The several-meter-long black wings spread out, rolling up a hurricane.Ye Jian's feet left the ground, and his figure staggered, like a young bird with fluffy fluff, wobbled but firmly flew to the distant sky.

The vast mountain walls are silent, the leaves of the towering ancient trees are swaying, and the rustling is like a farewell song.

Ye Jian fluttered her black wings lightly, chasing the faint light of the sky, flying over the canopy of old trees covering the sky, and over this ancient and silent cave.

He comes to the ground.

In an instant, the pale golden sun fell like rain, and Ye Jian bathed in the light, seeing a round of sun in the blue sky.

very warm.

Ye Jian raised his hand and touched the sun lightly.At the same time, the black wings behind him suddenly dissipated, melting uncontrollably under the sunlight like beeswax, turning into a faint mist that diffused.

Ye Jian fell lightly until she stepped on the vast expanse of land and could no longer fly.

However, he didn't think it was a pity, but he took a step forward a little rusty, hesitated, and took a few more steps.

The soil under his feet was hard, and he walked on this land, raising his eyes and looking around.

The land is gray and lifeless, and the surroundings are empty, and the distance is endless.

This is a wilderness.

What he was looking for... where?

Ye Jian's forehead began to ache again, looking back.

There is an endless wilderness behind him, and the cave just now has been hidden under the ground, disappearing without a trace, leaving no trace.

As if, never existed.

Can not go back.

Ye Jian thought to herself.

However, he didn't even know his own name, so how could he know where he was going?

Ye Jian stayed in place quietly for a few seconds, finally chose a direction and walked alone.

The wind in the wilderness is a bit cold.

Not long after, Ye Jian smelled a strange smell in the cold wind.

He tilted his head and locked his eyes precisely to one side, catching a pair of prying eyes.

thump.

A huge monster circled out from behind the boulder, its pitch-black body split into three heads, and it stepped on gray fireworks.The flames shot up quickly, enveloping the monster's whole body.

It was covered in raging flames, and its six eyes stared at Ye Jian horribly, as if a lone wolf that had been hungry for a long time met a delicious meal.

Ye Jian: It's kind of ugly... But, it's alive.

Ye Jian tentatively asked, "Can you speak?"

Monster: "Roar——"

Its first sentence was a life-threatening roar, and it rushed directly at Ye Jian!

Ye Jian subconsciously took a step back as the wind blew against her face, her dark eyes faintly flowed with a golden color.

The soaring gray flame stopped silent at this moment.

The monster's sharp claws smashed into the ground, and its legs trembled.Just now, it was still stalking and arrogant, and now it crawled down, its six eyes were terrified, and it whimpered vaguely from its roar.

It was trembling, even knelt down and begged for mercy.

Ye Jian lowered her eyes coldly, the golden light and ink color intertwined in the bottom of her eyes, reflecting the dead face of this monster.

thump.

Three heads fell to the ground, and blood gushed out like a spring, but Ye Jian was not stained at all.

The black line drawn between his fingers disappeared, and the next second, pale fingers pressed tightly against his forehead.

Cold sweat fell silently, Ye Jian frowned slightly, and the corners of her lips were drawn into a cold straight line.

He has a headache.

The pain in his brain was splitting, his eyes were slightly black, and he was even a little unstable.

The cold wind in the wilderness was bleak, Ye Jian's back was stiff, and her whole body was cold.It took a long time before he seemed to come alive, put down his hand, and staggered back a step.

He held onto the boulder next to him and took a deep breath.For example, the pain of being disturbed by the sharp cone in the brain has not dissipated, but it has been relieved to a level that allows him to breathe.

After the monster died for a long time, the body had already turned into pus and blood and dissipated.A faint bloodstain remained on the ground, and there was a gray spar the size of a fingernail.

Ye Jian's eyes stayed on the gray spar for a second, then retracted.

so ugly.

I don't want to pick it up.

He rested on the spot for a while, and did not continue until his blackened vision became clear again.

There were crises everywhere in the wilderness. After that, Ye Jian encountered several monsters.

If he was lucky, the monster turned a blind eye to him; if he was unlucky, the monster turned into pus and blood under his fingers, and he could only squat beside him silently, enduring the pain as if his body was being crushed over and over again.

Ye Jian soon realized that she seemed to have special power.

But for some reason, he was in poor health.Every time he uses those powers, it will bring him a great burden.

Therefore, Ye Jian walked very slowly, basically stopping to rest for a while every half hour.

I don't know how long it has passed, the sun slowly sinks in the west mountain, and the blood-colored sunset spreads across the sky.

On the wilderness, Ye Jian's lonely shadow fell on the ground and was dragged for a long time.

Stomach a little uncomfortable.

A thought came to his mind.

want to eat.

Ye Jian looked around.

Only the earth, and the cold wind blowing in the face.

"..."

Ye Jian looked away.

The sky is getting darker and the temperature is gradually dropping.He only had thin clothes on his body, and the chill kept penetrating into his skin and penetrating into his bone marrow.

It seemed a bit difficult to get through the night.

Just as Ye Jian was thinking about whether she should find a rock to shelter from the wind for the night, the breeze blew on her face, bringing a faint sound.

Ye Jian tilted her head slightly, then turned around.

In the wilderness at night, two armored vehicles fell over, and a group of people screamed and ran wildly.

"A-level alien beast! How can there be an A-level alien beast here?!"

"Help! Help!!"

Gray flames shot up to a height of several meters, and a beast three times the size of an armored vehicle rampaged. Every step taken by its giant scale-covered feet was like an earthquake.

Ye Jian stood on the commanding heights, her unwavering eyes fixed on the strange beast covered in ashes and flames.

It was this gray flame again.

Along the way, several monsters he met had such ash on their bodies.

For some reason, seeing the lifeless gray, Ye Jian felt inexplicable disgust in her heart.

The alien beast that was rampaging turned its head suddenly, skipping over the other weak and fleeing members of the expedition team, staring straight at Ye Jian with a pair of scarlet eyes.

The forehead seemed to be about to burst, and the pain was extremely clear.Ye Jian's face remained unchanged, and she lightly raised her finger.

Thick black threads were entangled between his pale fingers, and the bottoms of those black eyes were stained with a gilt luster, clearly reflecting a gray thread running through the heart of the alien beast.

The strange beast raised its head and screamed, and billowing ash flames spewed out from its mouth, the flames illuminated most of the night sky, like a rain of falling meteorites.

Such a terrifying scene, the legs of several members of the expedition team who were still desperately fleeing gave way, and they were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, closing their eyes and waiting to die.

The flames were hot, Ye Jian jumped down like a bird, and quickly approached the strange beast.The black silk thread fell down like raindrops, piercing through the flames with sharpness and tearing apart the flesh and blood.

The strange beast roared in pain, but such an attack could not kill it, it only aroused its killing intent.

Ye Jian landed silently, only a few steps away from the strange beast.His figure is thin and slender, compared with the huge beast, it is no different from a bird to a lion.

The strange beast raised its giant claws angrily, and the mountain fell down like a mountain.Ye Jian raised her eyes, her eyes were always calm and unruffled.

In those dark gold flowing eyes, the gray silk thread between the heart of the strange beast is connected with a black thread.

Ye Jian hooked the black line with her fingertips, and tightened her fingers lightly.

The rain of blood that splashed the sky fell from this.

-

The roar of the strange beast before it died resounded through the wilderness, deafening.

The billowing heat wave swept across all directions, and the members of the expedition team, who were already standing unsteadily, were thrown to the ground and unable to get up.

Beside the overturned armored vehicle, a woman raised her head in a daze. Blood flowed from her forehead, staining her eyes red.

Chen Rao shook her head and opened her eyes wide, without blinking.

In the blurred field of vision, the flames smeared the night, and a slender figure was like an unsheathed sword blade, cutting the junction between the night and the fire.

Under the intense light of the fire, his profile was cold and beautiful, as perfect as a sculpture carved by the hands of a god.

Chen Rao's eyes lit up, and after many years, she once again felt a god descending in front of her.

This time, this time, it must be the real god...

The joy in his heart almost made him dizzy, Chen Rao staggered to his feet, ignoring his own wounds, his voice trembling slightly because of being too excited: "You—"

——At the same time, the beautiful god lowered his eyes and his voice was clear and pleasant, like the cold snow falling from the top of a mountain.

He said, "Is there anything to eat?"

"I'm hungry."

Chen Rao: "..."

Chen Rao: "???"

.

In the mess, the tattered armored vehicle was pushed up by everyone, and the dry food that was still in good condition and a blanket that was not stained were dug out from inside.

The bonfire was raised, and the members of the expedition team who survived the catastrophe were busy setting up tents.Many people would peek at the young man by the campfire while working, and the more they watched, the more motivated they felt.

Chen Rao sat silently opposite Ye Jian, until now, she was still in a daze.

This was the third time they met Ye Jian, and the third time they were rescued by Ye Jian.

Once, she thought that Mr. Ye was a powerful b-level watchman. Although Class B is powerful, it is not unattainable.So after the last time we parted, she has been targeting Mr. Ye and trying to catch up.I thought that one day, maybe I could reach the height of Mr. Ye.

Later, she did become a b-level watchman, and on the second day of her promotion, she happily led her explorer team out of the city.

In the end, no one thought that they would be so unlucky that they encountered an A-level beast in this B-level area!

What's more, they didn't expect that they were so lucky in their misfortune. Mr. Ye came down like a god again to save them from danger!

Chen Rao was very grateful, but also a little embarrassed.Gratitude is to Ye Jian, and embarrassment is to herself.

Mr. Ye is very powerful, but he is not a B-level watcher at all, but an A-level!

A-level, a top existence second only to S-level!How many watchers have longed for it in this life, but they can't reach the height!

The most important thing is that Mr. Ye is still so young, who knows if he will really step to the top in a few years and become the fourth S-level watcher?

Fortunately, she always thought that Mr. Ye was just a B-level, and even secretly struggled in her heart... The more she thought about it, the more embarrassing she became!

"Mr. Ye, let's drink some tea."

Chen Rao calmed down, took the gurgling hot tea from the campfire, and handed it to Ye Jian.

Ye Jian was wearing a thick blanket, holding a piece of dry food, her eyelashes drooping, and she was silent.

Chen Rao: "Mr. Ye?"

"..." Ye Jian raised her head slowly, "What?"

Chen Rao only felt that his complexion was very bad, and immediately asked worriedly: "Are you injured? Or is it uncomfortable?"

Ye Jian shook her head lightly, pressed her eyebrows, and said after a while, "You know me?"

Chen Rao was shocked: "You, you don't remember me?"

Ye Jian didn't speak.

Chen Rao was even more shocked. He spread his hands and looked at himself from side to side.

"Even if I've changed a bit over the years, maybe I've gained a little weight and my hair has grown a little..." She whispered, "But you should still remember me, right?"

What responded to her was Ye Jian's calm and puzzled eyes.

Chen Rao: "..."

Well, don't really remember.

"That's right, the last time we met was five years ago." She said with a little regret, "It's only natural that you don't remember me after so many years."

Ye Jian repeated in a low voice: "Five years ago?"

"……Yes."

Facing Ye Jian's dark eyes, Chen Rao suddenly felt something was wrong and began to explain.

"Five years ago, you rescued our expedition team twice. At that time, I was still a C-level watchman, and I encountered a B-level beast twice. It was because of your timely appearance that we survived safely."

"Now I'm a b-level watcher, but my luck seems to be the same as before, it's still so bad."

When Chen Rao said this, he was a little embarrassed, but also a little grateful.

"I encountered an A-level beast in the first mission after being promoted. It's really embarrassing to say it—but fortunately, you are still the one who saved us this time, just like five years ago."

Ye Jian: "Then, do you know my name?"

Chen Rao: "Huh?"

"Name," Ye Jian gently grasped the corner of the blanket with her pale fingers, her eyes were hard to discern in the fire, "I forgot."

Chen Rao: "...Ye Jian, this is your name, which you told me before."

She hurriedly clicked on the communication bracelet: "Look, you have exchanged contact information with me before, here—"

Before she finished speaking, she was slightly taken aback.

In the address book, the name that was originally at the bottom and had been dim for a long time disappeared at some point.

Generally speaking, the id in the address book will not disappear for no reason.

In this case, either the opposite party deleted her friend, or the id was eliminated.

Chen Rao looked at Ye Jian's wrist again.

Empty, nothing.

Chen Rao fell silent.

Until now, the feeling that something was wrong in her heart finally came to fruition.

Mr. Ye must have encountered some things in the past five years.

Chen Rao stared at Ye Jian's bloodless face and thought to himself.

He is stronger than five years ago, but also weaker than five years ago.

And five years ago, Mr. Ye didn't seem to be alone...

"Mr. Ye."

Chen Rao tentatively opened his mouth.

"I remember five years ago, there was a little mermaid by your side, I don't know that he now—"

Before she finished speaking, Ye Jian closed her eyes.

The forehead jumped up and down, as if a blunt ax slashed down heavily.

Not only that, the bones and flesh of his whole body seemed to be peeled off bit by bit by a sharp knife, and the sharp blade sank into his body, dripping with blood.

Ye Jian lowered her eyelashes quietly, silently enduring the torture like Ling Chi.

Chen Rao immediately fell silent.

Mr. Ye's condition is really not right, it should not even be said to be wrong, but very bad.

However, he is so powerful.With a strength beyond A-level, who can hurt him?

Chen Rao's brain turned, revealing a little incredulous expression.

Could it be that mermaid?

He and Mr. Ye are so close and have such a good relationship.It is precisely because of this that Mr. Ye is not on guard against him...

As the night's cold wind blew, Ye Jian's fingertips were cold, and her eyelashes cast thick shadows on her pale skin.

A thicker and softer blanket was draped over the shoulders, and a young man carefully sat beside Ye Jian, looked at Chen Rao, and put the cup of hot tea in Ye Jian's hand.

"Mr. Ye."

The young man named Ike whispered.

"Why don't you join our expedition team and go back with us."

Ye Jian raised her eyes slightly when her fingers touched the warmth.

Ike looked at him intently and smiled: "Our city is very close, only half a day's journey away. You can settle there. Don't worry about funds and housing issues, everything will be arranged by us."

"You just need to stay there with peace of mind and take good care of yourself."

Ye Jian didn't answer immediately, as if she was considering what he said.

Ike was full of anticipation, waiting for Ye Jian's answer.However, after a while, he heard Ye Jian's still clear but distant voice: "Sorry."

Ike's smile froze, and he lost control of himself: "Why? Your body shouldn't be able to withstand a long journey... Or, do you have any place you want to go?"

Ye Jian was slightly absent-minded, thinking, yes.

Where is he going?

Lost memory, nothing... Where can he go?

In other words, who would wait for him like this?

Ye Jian was speechless for a while, and Ike was about to say something when he saw this, but he heard Ye Jiandu speak.

"I want to... go and see the sea."

Ye Jian's voice was very soft, as if she could be swept away by the wind.

"Because the ocean is beautiful and I haven't seen it yet."

[The sea is beautiful, the water is very clear and warm, shining brightly in the sun, and the seabed is covered with shells and corals of various colors. 】

[Does Ye Jian like pearls?There are always many beautiful pearls in the shell. 】

Who said these words to him?

Ye Jian's eyes fell in the distance, dazed and unfocused.

[When I become an adult, Ye Jian can go back to the sea with me, and I will pick a lot of pearls for you! 】

【Ye Jian will go back to the sea with me, right? 】

……yes?

Has he promised anyone?

Ye Jian pressed her forehead and closed her eyes.

In the distant deep sea, someone seemed to be waiting for him.

But he couldn't remember the other party's name, voice, appearance, and everything.

That person who is so strange and so far away... Who is it?
