I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

It can be seen at a glance from the appearance that the screaming girl in front of her is a sea dweller.

Sea-dwelling species generally live on shallower seabeds, with a human upper body and fish tail fins below the legs.

Their ecology is very special. First of all, because there are too many water spirits in their bodies, they cannot leave the sea for a long time. But also, when they are in the sea, they can even merge with the water, gaining a high level of privacy, and will not be noticed by other races.

The second peculiarity is that they are a female-only race.In other words, their reproduction needs "male of different races" to complete.

If you accidentally fall into the sea and meet a sea-dwelling species, if it is a male, you will be charmed [-]% and will be squeezed out of essence〇 (soul) to die and reproduce for it.

But it seems that among the known information, there is no more information about sea-dwelling species, except that the opposite sex will be charmed and consumed to death.

They, who can't live on land, are not very excited about this [War], or even have no interest in it.

The race sequence is the last of the fifteen races, which means that their adaptability to elves is worse than that of orcs who cannot use magic, and they can only rely on racial talent.

The degree of danger is also the lowest compared to other races... probably to the extent that as long as you go ashore, you are safe.

So it seems like the one who got scared was her from the beginning.

"—Ahhhhh!!"

"Stop calling!"

The guy with a fierce face in front of him drew his knife and pointed it at himself, but spoke the language of the sea dwellers.

"Answer my question truthfully, or I will kill you."

Under the inexplicable purple light, the blade in the man's hand conveyed the pressure that made her feel horrified, and she couldn't move, her mouth seemed to be forcibly closed, and the scream was cut off from the source.

The sea-dwelling girl who was pointed at by Cheng Rang with a knife was stunned as if she had been frightened, she closed her mouth obediently, and just nodded slightly with the smallest amount of movement.

The release of the sword's ultimate intention completely suppressed the sea-dwelling girl's ability to move, and Cheng Rang asked, "Where's your companion?"

She seemed very disturbed and kept shaking her head.

"Only you?"

(nod)

"Why are you here?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

"do not know?"

(nods again)

ha?She is the only one, why is she here?how is this possible!

"What do you do with me?" Cheng Rang's original heart was coated with a layer of white light, and the blade was suddenly extended a lot, leaving only an inch away from the girl's throat. This made her raise her chin subconsciously, and her expression became even more frightened .

"Ugh... woo woo woo... woo woo!"

The heavy pressure from death made the girl's moving eyes overflow with tears, her body trembling uncontrollably and she began to cry.

"..."

The corner of Cheng Rang's mouth twitched slightly as he stared at the crying girl with pear blossoms and rain in the water, and it was difficult to classify her as an existence that could pose a threat to himself and other humans.

And the guilt of "crying the beautiful girl I met as soon as we met" began to grow in my heart.

[Ding, due to the effect of the "Will Strengthening" skill, the player is immune to the abnormal state: "Sea Monster Charm"]

But the system prompt that sounded immediately woke Cheng Rang up, and the weapon that had been unconsciously put down in his hand was placed on the girl's neck again.

"Don't cry, put away your damn charm effect, it won't work for me."

But even if Cheng Rang was so threatening, the crying girl still couldn't stop completely. With her pale face, she could only bite her lips tightly with all her strength, but still let out a choked sound from her throat from time to time.

"One last time, what are you doing with me?"

Cheng Rang spent a lot of time in the water, but during this period, there was no system notification, until the girl cried just now, the notification of immunity to charm came.

There are probably two possibilities. One is that she has been following her secretly, looking for opportunities, but she may have been frightened by her sudden jumping out of the water and chose to observe secretly.

One is that she was not attracted by the noise until after she got ashore, and she was not exposed until the light of the lottery machine illuminated the vicinity.

However, Cheng Rang never thought of the girl's behavior afterwards...

She stretched out her hand from the water and pointed aside timidly.

Cheng Rang looked in the direction. It was the ten packs of delicate fish feed that he kicked into the water just now. It was floating on the water at this time, swaying with the ripples caused by the girl's movements.

Regardless of checking other items in the lottery machine, Cheng Rang freed his hand to put the nine blue light balls on the ground into his backpack, and then raised the purple prop light balls for lighting.

As long as you don't pinch it off and open it to see what's inside or for the next lottery draw, it seems that this purple prop light ball will always light up....

Although my face is so dark that I can still only eat the bottom line, it is surprisingly easy to use for lighting in this kind of environment.

Cheng Rang picked up a pack of "exquisite fish feed" with the tip of a knife and threw it into the water in front of the girl.

"Want to eat this?"

She seemed to be afraid of herself, but she still nodded firmly, her eyes fixed on the packaging bag in front of her.

No matter how you look at it, this is a foodie attracted by food!Has nothing to do with me!

"Hungry..." Finally came the first meaningful dialogue from the girl's mouth.

Cheng Rang's eyes twitched suddenly.

How about putting the knife on the neck and saying that you are hungry if it looks delicious?You can take care of yourself, girl!

"Hey...."

Seemingly feeling helpless for the girl who reacted like this, Cheng Rang sighed and put away the long knife in his hand.

"Take it away and eat it. It's useless for me to keep it. I'll only get angry when I see it..."

Even if this kind of race that can't even move on land is let go, it won't hurt, let alone follow him to the settlement, which is far away from the sea.

It seems that he can't use magic very much, only has passive charm ability, and he is completely immune to it, and there is no threat.

The girl who got Cheng Rang's permission slowly grabbed the packaged fish feed in front of her. Her eyes were still warily staring at Cheng Rang who was sitting cross-legged. It wasn't until she realized that he really didn't move that she suddenly opened her mouth to bite. To the bag in hand.

"Ah woo...!"

.....the bag seems to be secure and has not been bitten open.

However, the sea-dwelling girl who was holding the bag didn't seem to tear it apart, she just gnawed at it, and finally found that she couldn't eat the food inside, and turned her eyes to Cheng Rang for help.

"Woo...can't eat...!"

The teary look seemed to be wronged, and she was about to cry again.

Regarding such behavior, Cheng Rang said that he could no longer be speechless, and could not help but slap his face, and murmured:

"So, you sea dwellers... are all idiots?"

First, the Ex-Machina that was broken and begging to mate, and now this sea-dwelling species that can't even tear off the packaging, but only whispers, if the group of people who weren't blood-sucking species really launched an attack on themselves, Cheng Rang was afraid. It is not to think that this war is simply a joke!

Chapter 31 Azure

Four empty bags were scattered on the surface of the water. It was not until the fifth bag of system-produced delicate fish feed in her hand was eaten up that the sea-dwelling girl rubbed her belly contentedly and floated on the water, reflecting the colorful scales. Wrapping her entire lower body, the huge fish tail gently patted the water surface, looking very pleasant.

"I am full?"

"Hmm~!"

"Let's go when you're full, and save the rest for the next meal. I've taught you how to open the package."

Hearing Cheng Rang's words, the girl turned over and stood up from the water, stared at him suspiciously, then frowned, as if thinking about something.

"...This is delicious, no... more?" She swam in the water, put the remaining five bags of fish food in her arms, and asked in a low voice.

Cheng Rang sighed violently, and said with a hand on his forehead, "No more! So let's go...before I change my mind and kill you."

"...?"

At this time, the girl seemed not so afraid of Cheng Rang's threat, but she shrugged her shoulders and asked cautiously, "Why... did you kill Ai Xueer?"

Ai Xueer, the girl called herself this way, this should be her name.

"Why?" Listen

Cheng Rang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "Because this is war."

"war....?"

Seemingly unfamiliar with this term, the sea-dwelling girl—Axel showed a puzzled look.

"War... what is it?"

Such a question was asked.

Hey, are you kidding me?Don't you sea dwellers know what this war that has lasted for an unknown amount of time is about?

"Ai Xueer... entered [Frozen Sleep], at a very young age... woke up, and was here."

"Frozen sleep? What is that?"

......

According to Escher, shortly after she was born, even just after learning to speak, she was pushed into a large shell by her mother.

"Ai Xueer, live on! As long as you use this method... you won't be discovered by them..."

"Mother..."

"Live, Asher..."

That day, the azure sea that glistened like jewels disappeared, replaced by a dark red that seemed to be burning. My mother hugged herself tightly and rubbed her cheek reluctantly.

"I love you."

Ai Xueer only remembered that the temperature of the surrounding sea water was warm and comfortable...but her mother seemed to feel very cold, and her body kept shaking.

【Frozen sleep】

This is the innate ability of sea dwellers. It can reduce its life activities to the lowest point, and even sleep for a thousand years as if it died.

But it seems that apart from being able to pass the time quickly, freezing sleep has no more uses.

When the shell was closed, the last thing Ascher could see were her mother's amber eyes.

There seems to be a lot of complicated emotions in it, but at the time I couldn't understand what happened...

"Just listen to what mommy says."

Thinking like this, Axel entered [Freezing Sleep] in the shell.

Didn't even decide how long to sleep on.

The temperature in the shell gradually cooled down, and the girl who entered the eternal sleep was carried by the ocean current and drifted in the ocean, and it didn't know how long it had passed.

It wasn't until a very violent jolt...like being thrown into a washing machine, that Axel woke up.

Slightly opened the shell and looked out—darkness, darkness, darkness where you can't reach your fingers.

There is nothing around.

Due to living on the bottom of the sea, the night vision ability of sea dwellers is still very good, but in places where there is no light at all, they are still blind.

"Mother...?"

got no response.

"It's so dark in here...Mom...where are you?"

My shout still didn't get any response, and I was the only one left in this endless darkness.

Axel retracted into the shell with some fear, feeling helpless and terrified of the complete darkness and unknown environment.Don't even know how much time has passed.

The azure sea, as beautiful as a jewel, was gone, and my mother was gone, no light, no food, nothing.
