Thanks for the invitation. I am a parasite in Terra.

"when!!!!"

The sharp teeth and blades produced harsh friction sounds and sparks!

"How... is it possible..."

She looked at the other person in disbelief. Her clothes... grew a mouth and bit down on the blow she had swung with all her strength? ! ! !

And... her sword seemed to be welded inside, no matter how hard she tried, it didn't move at all...

"So strong... Damn... Has it evolved again..."

Of course, where Skadi couldn't see, the other party was obviously not as relaxed as he appeared.

Under Laurentina's feet, the scarlet structure drilled into the ground like roots, fixing her in place like a pile.

Otherwise, she would be able to take the blow and be thrown directly against the wall by the force.

That would be so embarrassing...

[.....Is this the companion you mentioned who can flatten a mountain with one sword?]

"Alas, after all this time, her ridiculous strength hasn't decreased at all... and it seems to have even become stronger."

[Although it doesn't pose much of a threat, you have to hurry up. If you keep fighting, I'm worried that your giant whale superpower companion will tear down this street.]

"Don't worry, the killer whale wouldn't do such a thing. There are residents nearby, and she can't destroy anything in such a narrow place at will."

"So~"

Laurentina smiled.

[Can you please not say such villain-like words! ? ]

Skadi was trying her best at this moment, but she couldn't shake the giant mouth on the opponent's clothes that was biting her sword!

However, the next moment, Laurentina suddenly moved her body closer to her, so fast that she didn't even have time to react.

"Long time no see, killer whale."

After saying this, he raised his crystal-like arms to his cheeks.

"?!!!"

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Skadi's forehead. Without hesitation, she dropped her weapon and jumped back to create distance between the two.

damn it.

The weapons were taken away.

She then took out another Yan country style long sword from the box behind her...

However, for the enemy in front of him, this long sword is far inferior to his own weapon in terms of performance and other aspects.

But...it's better than using bare hands.

Then, she stared at the other person and whispered.

"I'm sorry... Grandpa, I might break the sword..."

"Ah, killer whale, you are still the same as before. But, it's great. I feel relieved to see that you are still the same as before."

Laurentina shook her hands, as if she was relaxing her joints.

"What...."

Skadi was puzzled. The other party looked... as if he had just left the battle.

"Alas, I wanted to spend some time with you to reminisce about the past, but considering that it would not be a good idea to cause too much noise in this area, it's a pity."

"What are you talking about..."

Skadi held the long sword and growled in a deep voice

"Then I'll leave it to you, Zuojian...don't do anything weird."

After giving the instructions, Laurentina simply waved her hand and leaned against the wall.

"What--"

Skadi finally realized something was wrong. She looked down suddenly and found that her ankles were caught by the two broken arms she had just cut off?!

Those two arms on the ground?!

When did they come over... No, did they just land next to them when I jumped back to create some distance?!

There was no time for her to think. The two "arms" along with the broken fabric sleeves turned into scarlet blood clots, wriggling and spreading tentacles, like several flexible blood snakes, crawling along Skadi's calves towards her body! !

It got inside her clothes, stuck close to her skin, and wrapped tightly around her, leaving her no room to resist.

"It's very powerful, ridiculously powerful, but unfortunately, as long as it's a humanoid creature--"

"who is it?!"

Skadi heard the voice next to her ear and shouted alertly.

"As long as it is a humanoid creature, after locking the joints and limiting the force points, the strength it can exert is less than one-tenth of the original."

She felt the cold and slippery touch spreading over her body, and at the same time a tentacle emerged from her collar, with a single eye and a mouth growing at the tip.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Orca, or Laurentina's friend. My name is Zuojian."

"Shut up, Kaiji!!"

Skadi struggled and tried to swing the sword in her hand to cut at the tentacles on her body.

However, the next moment, all the tentacles on his body tightened instantly, binding both wrists together!

Bang!

The long sword just slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, I can't do anything..."

"Oh, sorry, killer whale, you definitely won't listen to my explanation, so I can only bear with you for a while."

[You plan to do this?]

Zuo Jian asked Laurentina who walked forward.

The latter squatted on the ground, looked at Skadi who was crawling on the floor unable to move, and reached out to pinch the other's face.

However, the latter's eyes looked as if he wanted to swallow her up in anger.

"Well, let's take him back to the hotel and talk slowly, shall we?"

[You want to take it back like this?]

"Isn't this up to you?"

After thinking for a moment, Zuo Jian continued to grow the outer layer of flesh and blood, and then directly covered Skadi's entire body, as if it had turned into a long red box, wrapping the latter.

"Mmmmm! You—"

Skadi wanted to resist, but the next moment, the tentacles in the flesh box directly attacked her mouth.

"Well, this is much more convenient."

Laurentina clapped her hands and then picked up the red box.

(My eyes are filled with tears. I have been busy celebrating the New Year these past few days, and I have to help my family with work every day... I feel like my updates have been a lot slower - it's okay! I can do it! I want to be a successful and hardworking author!)

Chapter 44: Misunderstanding Resolved

"Huh....By the way, does it feel like the killer whale has become heavier?"

Laurentina panted and put the big box on her back into the small single room of the hotel.

[Should we let her out?]

On the surface of the box, Zuo Jian opened one eye and looked at Laurentina and asked.

"Hmm... it should be about time. The killer whale is not an idiot who can't recognize the situation. He should be able to have a good talk with us now."

[....I'll take protective measures first.]

"What? Worried about me?"

Laurentina touched the eyes on the box and smiled.

[…I’m worried that if something unexpected happens, you two might break through the roof or the floor or something.]

[The compensation fee will be a headache.]

"Tsk, I get it, I get it. Anyway, let's release the killer whale first."

Laurentina sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the Box of Flesh and Blood in front of her and spoke.

[OK.]

Following Zuo Jian's answer, the hard outer shell of the box quickly turned into blood plasma and soon, Skadi, who was firmly fixed inside, was released.

The latter even lost his balance and fell to the ground.

“Cough cough….cough cough…”

She coughed uncomfortably, then opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Laurentina's smiling face sitting beside the bed.

"Hey, are you awake now, killer whale?"

"Shark... No... Haisi!"

Skadi's eyes regained clarity, and she saw the weapons box that was brought back with her.

The weapon was lying quietly inside.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and tried to grasp her sword tightly!

But then, the moment she moved, she suddenly felt a strange sense of tightness all over her body.

Several tentacles instantly locked her joints, binding her tightly in place.

[Ms. Killer Whale, I suggest you not to be so impatient. This is Victoria's hotel, the kind that costs 150 Longmen coins a night. If you cause any damage here, the amount of compensation will be very uncomfortable for us.]

"what sound?!"

[Let me introduce myself again, Miss Killer Whale. My name is Zuo Jian, Laurentina’s travel companion, and I have been accompanying her all this time.]

[I know you have a lot of doubts, but it is obvious that I am different from those sea creatures you know. I speak clearly and am very rational.]

Why can't we sit down and talk?

"Why should I believe you... Kaiji can also evolve--"

[If the level of intelligence of the sea ancestor you mentioned is the same as mine, then it’s probably not just Agor who will be doomed on this land of mine.]

Skadi seemed to realize something from Zuo Jian's words, and then she motioned to Laurentina to open the curtains of the room.

The midday sun shone through the glass windows of the room, showing Skadi the view of a peaceful moving city in Victoria outside the window.

[It's still peaceful here, no monsters, nothing else.]

[Of course, Laurentina brought your things back too. If you feel uneasy and want to take your weapons, I have no objection, provided you don't make too much noise.]

Zuo Jian tried his best to appear to be kind. At the same time, he used his tentacles to roll up the greatsword beside him and placed it on the thigh of Skadi who was kneeling on the ground.

[Besides, you can't beat us, right? If we were Hai Si, we probably wouldn't be here to have such a long conversation with you, right?]

[And, let's take a step back and say that you are now in our hands, with almost no chance of resistance. Is there anything else you can do right now besides talking to us?]

Maybe it was because she realized her situation or because she felt that Zuo Jian’s attitude was not like Hai Si’s, but Skadi relaxed a little, but the vigilance in her eyes remained.

She asked, staring at the ominous flesh tentacles in front of her and the single blue eye on them.

"Then why did the shark become like that...like that?"

[This is a long story.]

After Zuo Jian finished speaking, he fiddled with his tentacles to lift the water from the kettle beside him, then poured it into the cup provided by the hotel. At the same time, he also put the black tea bag he found in the drawer into it.

How ridiculous was the Victorians' love for tea? Fortunately, they provided cheap black tea bags in their hotels.

Hot drinks and a genuine environment can always lower the other person's vigilance.

Especially...

Skadi looked in disbelief as the flesh tentacles methodically fiddled with the kettle and other items on the table nearby. After a while, it came to Skadi and Laurentina holding two cups of brewed black tea.

[Would you like some tea? Let’s talk while we drink. This story might be a little long.]
