In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

These fish often have an extremely long, saw-like beak, which has unparalleled lethality when their bodies are rushing at high speed in the ocean!

The most important thing is that these cavalry fish move in groups!

Seeing the first one means there is a large group behind the other party!

"What the hell!"

The blue-haired woman's expression suddenly changed when she saw the cavalry fish.

The argument with Maritus just now made them lose the best chance to escape.

Next, they will have to face these damn monsters on their own!

But the problem is... they might be able to find a place to avoid the attack of the cavalry fish, but the life-support tubes connecting them to the submarine may not be able to hold up!

Once a crack is scratched, they will surely die!

Everyone's expressions changed, and finally turned pale.

But Maritus next to him couldn't help but turn his head and look back at the passages he had not yet searched.

This made the blue-haired woman next to her very angry.

You're about to die, why do you still care about these things?

Crazy madman!

Just when this group of people were anxious and at a loss, Maria saw something different in the cavalry fish.

Its body... seemed to be divided into two halves. The lower half looked quite natural, but the upper half...

"Hai Si's color..."

Maria whispered, her eyes slightly frowning.

But after a moment, she realized that these creatures were not Hai Si. At best, they were just infected by Hai Si.

"Is it because of our intrusion?"

Maria thought for a few moments and said nothing.

She just silently watched the creatures that kept approaching this side, her eyes turning slightly red...

"Gululu..."

Just as everyone was arguing, Helatia suddenly discovered the abnormality of those creatures.

"Look!"

She called out.

Everyone followed the sound.

Not far from them, the cavalry on the ocean actually began to change the direction of their charge...

And the speed is also slowing down...

"This is……"

Everyone's eyes widened slightly, all a little surprised.

But soon, everyone realized that this was not the active action of these creatures.

This group of cavalry fish is falling towards the deep sea.

they……

Is this a coma?!

what? !

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Helatia, who was in the lead, almost immediately turned her attention to Maria.

She realized that Maria seemed to have muttered something just now.

But obviously, this is not the time to discuss it.

"Schools of cavalry fish are usually the highest-level predators in an area. Now that they've left, there shouldn't be any danger nearby. Shall we continue our investigation?"

Maritus still couldn't forget it.

But obviously, this time no one hesitated.

Although they were not quite sure what had happened to the cavalry fish just now, they all realized that they had actually saved their lives.

They cannot always have such luck, and leaving early is the real way to be responsible for their own lives.

Helatia was even more direct.

Faced with this member who repeatedly denied her orders, she decisively pressed the button in her hand.

The submarine started to operate after receiving the order, and the life tube that maintained everyone's life became the iron chain pulling them back to the submarine.

No matter how hard Maritus struggled, he could not defeat these machines.

This made him so angry that he could only shout and scream.

But no one paid any attention to him...

……

The speed of returning to the submarine was obviously much faster than the speed of coming down at the beginning.

In just five minutes, everyone was pulled back into the submarine.

After the seawater in the chamber receded, everyone came out of their diving suits.

Maritus was still brooding over this matter, but since he was back, he couldn't say much. He just glanced at Helatia and turned away.

On the side, the blue-haired woman was also furious when she saw that the other party still had the nerve to be angry.

But after trying for a long time, she couldn't find many swear words in her head.

After tossing and turning, he finally managed to utter the word "sea worm".

For someone like Maria who doesn't understand marine ecology, she can't even understand whether this is an insult or not.

Of course, these are not important.

After briefly confirming the situation, Helatia nodded.

"Since everyone is free, go and rest first. I'll go and arrange the return mission."

Helatia spoke, but her last words were clearly directed to Maria.

Maria nodded slightly and returned to the room where she and Helatia were temporarily living together.

After taking a deep breath, she also sat aside, rubbing her eyebrows slightly.

Recalling what she had just seen, she thought about it for a few moments and felt a little strange.

“Those things aren’t Haisi, but they do exhibit Haisi characteristics… If nothing unexpected happens, they’ll soon be transformed into Haisi.

But this doesn't match what Golletia said, that the first appearance of the sea si was after the fourth mantle exploration."

"Could it be that... these sea creatures are not aggressive?"

Maria thought about it and felt that this was the only possibility.

Then comes the problem.

What led to what Gloria said later, that Hai Si launched a large-scale attack on them?

Maria was a little confused.

At this time, Helatia also walked into the room.

Seeing Maria lost in thought, she felt relieved.

"Do you need a shower?"

She has a private bathroom here.

"……bath?"

"Yeah, take a shower."

As Helatia said this, she closed the door and began to take off her clothes.

"The Algorans actually like to use concerts and social dancing to socialize. Although I like that, I always feel that this kind of socializing is just everyone shaping their own image."

“Only in a private space can people reveal their most original and pure selves.”

"And... I also wanted to talk to you..."

Helatia spoke, turning to look at Maria.

At this time, she had taken off all her clothes, and some fish characteristics could be vaguely seen on her smooth body.

Her long, smooth golden hair fell down beside her, which not only made her look not strange, but even made her look a little sacred.

The platinum eyes looked at Maria just like that.

She turned her body to show that she was not carrying anything extra.

"..."

Maria was silent for a few moments.

Choose to refuse.

"I made a promise to someone that I shouldn't get too close to anyone else."

"Ok?"

"I have a wife."

"Eh?"

Helatia was stunned for a moment, then a little surprised.

"I'm not overly fluent in land languages, but... if I remember correctly, 'wife' refers to a female partner, right?"

"Yes……"

"Land people...are truly amazing."

Helatia blinked but composed herself.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded.

"For the tribe, this kind of behavior is not conducive to reproduction. However, if it's about pursuing love, then I think it's understandable..."

Having said that, she didn't plan to pull Maria to the bathroom. Instead, she found a seat and didn't bother to put her clothes back on. She just looked at Maria, her legs slightly crossed, her head resting on her hands.

"We've already started our return journey, which means that what you wanted has already been finalized. In that case, are you willing to have a frank discussion with me?"

"…as long as it doesn't involve something special."

Maria nodded slightly.

"You have a scent that's very, very similar to mine... Although it's masked by a scent that relaxes the brain, I can sense that it's very similar to me, yet... a little different."

Helatia blinked, her platinum eyes slowly moving.

"I originally thought this might be an accident, but... your familiarity with the deep sea, your power, and your origins... all of this makes me curious. Is there some connection?"

"You don't have to answer, but... if you just have to answer, I hope you can tell the truth."

Helatia's words were very frank. She even took a step back and was willing to accept Maria's silence.

But this attitude caused Maria another problem.

"So, your trust in me is because of this aura?"

"Yes."

Helatia nodded.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt, but... it was true that Maria's aura did give her a strong sense of familiarity.

Helatia didn't think that this was something Maria had prepared in advance... because she could also clearly feel the smell dissipating.

Maria must have come into contact with someone who was particularly close to her.

For example, her parents, her brothers and sisters...
