Chapter 9 Undersea Kiss
[Friendly reminder: as the island owner, you are very afraid of water. 】
Xiang Liangyu was lucky enough not to be smashed beyond recognition and covered in blood on the rocky sea.
When surrounded by the freezing cold sea water, Xiang Liangyu felt like he was falling into nothingness.
[The sea water makes you feel scared and suffocated. This is your weakness. Dear island owner, your health is being eroded by the sea water. Please stay away from the sea water and successfully get ashore within three minutes, otherwise you will fall to the bottom of the sea and be imprisoned by the ocean forever. ]
Xiang Liangyu actually knows how to swim, and is even very skilled at it, but she didn't know if it was because of the game settings or if she was too panicked, she found that she couldn't float in the water and could only struggle and fall.
The sparkling sea surface was getting farther and farther away from her. The sea water blocked out all sounds. The eternal silence made her want to break through and shout, but she was defeated under the pressure of lack of oxygen.
The three-minute countdown kept ringing in his mind, and Xiang Liangyu felt his vision becoming increasingly blurred.
【12, 11, 10, 9……】
Her health has been reduced to 700, and when it reaches 500, her mission will fail.
Being sacrificed to the Lord of the Seabed, is he the master of the ocean? Xiang Liangyu thought vaguely .
The experience of this crappy game is quite realistic. Xiang Liangyu felt like she couldn't breathe. Her instinct for survival made her paddle her hands in the water, hoping to grab the last straw.
【5, 4……】
I’m not really going to die, is I? Xiang Liangyu’s strength is getting weaker and weaker, and he can’t help but wonder if he will really die so easily.
【2……】
Cold and suffocating.
Suddenly, Xiang Liangyu felt a chill on his lips.
[2… Ding ding ding ding————!! Beep beep——!!!]
A strong and urgent alarm suddenly sounded in his mind, and Xiang Liangyu's drowsy consciousness was instantly awakened. He subconsciously opened his eyes and suddenly met a pair of dark eyes.
At this moment, the depth she had fallen to was close to the bottom, and the sea surface above her head had shrunk into a dot, but Xiang Liangyu could still clearly see the person in front of her, who was only a few feet away from her.
And those eyes without any emotion .
Although she had no attachment to the lips and teeth, Xiang Liangyu found that the feeling of oppression that had always been with her had disappeared without her knowing when.
[Dear island owner, your health has been restored, and the remaining health is: 50000. ]
When her calves were surrounded by the wetness, Xiang Liangyu couldn't help struggling, but the fish tail wrapped around her tighter. The coldness on her lips had disappeared. Quan Shengyan was in front of her, his body floating slightly, and his black hair seemed to have life, obediently behind his head, curling and fluttering.
Xiang Liangyu was still descending in his embrace. The light became scarce and in the blur, she clung to Quan Shengyan with great difficulty, but she felt something that hurt her hand.
He seemed to like jewelry very much, with shiny jewelry on his upper body and even his tail. Quan Shengyan stared at Xiang Liangyu with his eyes, as if he wanted to dig something out of her face.
After a while, he held Xiang Liangyu's hand and gently placed it on the center of his chest.
Before Xiang Liangyu could react, the next second, a passionate kiss came again.
When he was put ashore, Xiang Liangyu vomited for a full minute before he vomited out all the water he had drunk.
The spring was floating on the sea, and its tail would occasionally emerge from the sea, creating waves.
Xiang Liangyu looked at him and suddenly a picture appeared in her mind.
She wiped the water off her face and joked to him, "We are like a fairy tale now."
Quan Shengyan looked at her quietly, waiting for her next words.
Xiang Liangyu: "The little mermaid rescued the prince she fell in love with at first sight, but was accidentally met by the princess of a neighboring country. In the end, the one who rescued the prince became the princess of the neighboring country, and the little mermaid was forgotten by the prince. Have you heard of this story? I am like the prince now, and you are like the mermaid who rescued the prince."
Xiang Liangyu originally wanted to tease him secretly, but Quan Shengyan looked confused: "Mermaid?"
This was the first time Xiang Liangyu heard his voice, which was low and hoarse, and completely different from his elegant and gentle face.
Xiang Liangyu stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to be amazed at his voice first, or shocked by his doubts about mermaids.
Quan Shengyan's doubt lasted only half a second, and then he swam a few steps forward with the waves. He raised his white arms, which were covered with flowing pearls, from the water, and opened his clenched fists in front of Xiang Liangyu.
A golden fan-shaped scale appeared in front of Xiang Liangyu.
[Congratulations to the island owner for obtaining the "Mermaid Scales". The scales of the mermaid leader, Izumi Shoyan, who is known as the best in the ocean and the ancestor of mermaids, are what all marine creatures desire because they represent absolute obedience.]
[The mermaid Quan Shengyan's obedience to you is: 100. 】
Xiang Liangyu listened to the system's prompt and reached out to take the scale.
Quan Shengyan seemed to want to do something, but he just glanced behind Xiang Liangyu, turned around and sank into the sea, disappearing without a trace.
“Xiao Mei——!”
Xiang Liangyu looked back in the direction of the voice. Qu Liuyun was standing on the hillside, waving at her, with his hands in a trumpet shape to his mouth: "We are leaving——!"
Xiang Liangyu couldn't help shivering. When he got up and walked towards the hillside, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
Dusk turns the sea horizon into a huge cross-shaped aperture, with light rays extending infinitely to the left and right, and the remaining light spreading on the sea surface presenting a golden sea.
In this sunset that symbolizes hope, a golden-tailed mermaid leaped out of the sea, forming a graceful arc in the air, and then sank into the horizon again.
Xiang Liangyu turned his head and looked at the calm sea, which seemed to be sleeping in the darkness.
It turns out that Quan Shengyan is the mermaid that flashed by in the CG.
Xiang Liangyu ran up the hillside and returned to the cliff with Qu Liuyun. They found that most of the five people were unharmed, only Chu Li and Miao Zhen looked slightly pale, and Duan Sen was treating them.
Qu Liuyun pointed at the cave and said, "The fight is over."
Xiang Liangyu's face was full of disbelief. Although she had never seen a sea snake with her own eyes, there was no way it could be so weak that these five people could remain unharmed.
It's not a loach.
The dim cave was like the cave with the spring and smoke, and at the end of the short intersection was a huge pool of water. Xiang Liangyu looked at the scene in front of him and was completely stunned.
The dark green water turned red, with broken bodies of sea snakes floating on the surface and edge of the pool. Blood was all over the cave, and the smell of sea and blood mixed together. Xiang Liangyu just felt nauseous.
Chu Li leaned against the cave wall, his tone smiling: "Are you not going to issue rewards, system?"
Xiang Liangyu was silent for a second, then said: [Congratulations to the players for successfully completing the optional combat mission "Sea Serpent Cave". 500 points will be distributed to everyone in three seconds, with each player getting 100 points.]
After Duan Sen finished treating Miao Zhen, he came to Chu Li to heal her. He suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to be afraid of bees."
Qu Liuyun: "Isn't it cool that I just saved the beauty? Although I still got you hurt."
Duan Sen: "You have no ability but to pretend. Chu Li could have run away just now, but you pulled her back."
Qu Liuyun argued: "I was just eager to save the beauty! Jiang Yu was saved by me."
Duan Sen rolled his eyes and ignored him. After a few seconds, he withdrew his hand: "Okay, the toxins have been cleared from you two. Don't exercise for the next few days, be careful not to strain your muscles."
Miao Zhen nodded: "Okay."
Chu Li stretched his joints: "Thank you. Where did you go just now? Why do you look so miserable every time I see you?"
Xiang Liangyu sneered: "What a coincidence, every time I go out with you guys, I always fall into the water."
Chu Li changed the subject: "Just now the initial system gave a prompt. What is the final BOSS? Why did her health bar reach the death value in an instant, and then return to full value in an instant?"
"We have killed all the sea snakes in the cave. There is no way any of them are left. The bees outside the cave also died in Qu Liuyun's flames. I am very curious, who is the boss whose health value fluctuates?"
Xiang Liangyu was not panicked at all and was the first to question: "Are you sure that all the bees have been killed? There are no bees hiding under the cliff? No one has escaped death and returned to the hive with a breath of fresh air? Or are you doubting that the boss is me?"
Chu Li calmed down slightly: "No, it's just a guess. You are right, maybe we missed something. Sorry, I doubted you."
Xiang Liangyu: "You haven't even explored half of the island. The monster won't wait for you to find it. Maybe it has been watching you. Perhaps you need to consider leaving the area you are familiar with."
She stopped just enough, clearing herself of all charges in her words and even leaving a suspense so that they could shift their thoughts from her to the island.
Seeing their solemn expressions, Xiang Liangyu raised the corner of his mouth calmly: "Everyone, it's almost dawn, we have to go back."
Jiang Yu stood outside the cave, and when his eyes fell on the orange-red sea and sky, he was attracted by a figure leaping out of the sea.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, Chu Li reached out and patted her shoulder: "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Yu raised his chin and motioned Chu Li to look at the sea, but he found that the figure that had jumped up had disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sparkling water. "Nothing."
There are still three hours before it’s time to go out for breakfast.
The five of them had safely returned to their respective rooms, perhaps catching up on some sleep or gathering together to sort out intelligence.
After Xiang Liangyu cleaned herself up, she tied her hair up, went out and headed to the third floor.
There were too many suspicious points in the laboratory on the third floor. She couldn't wait and planned to explore it herself for a while.
The sea breeze blew up the gauze curtains, revealing the pale sky. The smell in the wooden corridor became more and more pungent, to the point where it was almost impossible to breathe.
Xiang Liangyu walked alone in the corridor and came to the end.
The hole smashed open by Qu Liuyun appeared like a black hole in the bright corridor.
A stimulating smell came out from inside. Xiang Liangyu bent down and planned to put his upper body in first, but when his head was about to enter the hole, a bloody face suddenly appeared inside the hole.
The close face-to-face gaze made it inevitable for Xiang Liangyu to see its entire face. The silent scream made its mouth open wide, and the torn lip line was almost visible.
Xiang Liangyu was so frightened that he took a few steps back for a moment, looking at the struggling face in the cave in shock.
Blood slowly flowed out from the hole and formed a small puddle on the ground.
When it was about to struggle out, it was suddenly grabbed and fell straight back. Then, a pair of cold eyes replaced it. Most of the person's face was hidden in the darkness, leaving only one eye that was surprisingly bright.
Only then did Xiang Liangyu realize what he had been forgetting.
Island exploration requires win-win cooperation between two teams. The two teams arrived at the Guest House in sequence. Chu Li's team was the second team to enter the Guest House.
What about the other group?
Xiang Liangyu looked at the dark cave entrance in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.
