Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 595 Battle and...death?

One after another, tall and thin black figures emerged from the air in all directions, and the rustling sound of tentacles squirming in the soil kept making people feel scalp numb. The remnants of the sun gathered and approached, emerging from the shadows. Standing upright from the middle, showing their terrifying and terrifying faces, eroding the forest in this dream!

The chains roared, accompanied by the explosion of the air being compressed and torn. Shirley shuttled through the forest glade, rushing towards every sun scum that had just entered the dreamland and had not yet had time to stand firm. , wantonly wielding the strange power gained from symbiosis with the deep demon - and wielding the deep demon at the same time - constantly knocking down those terrifying things that looked like humans and inhumans to the ground, expelling them from this dreamland.

However, the number of invaders is still increasing, and the sun remnants that she knocked down for a while are also rising from the shadows again and again!

The dense forest where light and shadow intersect has become the best place for the sun's remnants to shuttle freely and reshape themselves. The corrupted flesh and blood that was knocked out melted in the shadows and reunited in the shadows. Tall and thin black shadows emerged from the surroundings again and again. And when Shirley's movements slowed down a little, they immediately launched a ruthless attack.

A sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded from behind, and a spike-like tentacle suddenly emerged from the air and pierced the back of Shirley's neck. She suddenly felt the hairs on her hair stand on end, but when she tried to avoid it, it was already too late - —

There was a muffled sound of flesh breaking, but the pain did not come as expected. Shirley, who was ready to resist the attack, turned her head in shock, only to see a battle ax swinging from behind her. Passed - then the ax blade rotated, and after rising once, it cleanly cut off the other two "spikes" that came over.

The edge of the ax blade flashed with a faint blue light, as if covered with some kind of hot force field, burning and distorting the nearby air. The elf girl "Shilin" held the weird long-handled battle ax in one hand while repelling the attack. The one guarding Shirley's flanks, while looking at the tall and thin black figures that were still emerging and gathering from all around in bewilderment, finally couldn't help but ask: "What...are these things?"

"Anyway, it's definitely not something native to your forest!" Shirley shouted quickly, raising the chain in her hand high, and a dog knocked over a group of shadows gathering not far ahead, "These This thing is so fucking difficult!!”

Shireen raised her battle ax and blocked the attack from the other direction. However, she was momentarily startled when she heard Shirley's shout and frowned subconsciously: "These words... are a bit rude."

"If you don't shout out the curse words, they will rot in your stomach. How disgusting," Shirley said with a wild and high-spirited smile on her face. She stepped on a mass of flesh and blood that was still squirming and reuniting, and black smoke rose from the chain in her hand. The mist made the whole person look extremely happy, "I love to be clean and I never let dirty words stay in my stomach overnight..."

Shireen listened to Shirley's theory for a while, seemingly trying hard to understand the other party's logic, but in the end she frowned and shook her head, muttering something while focusing on the enemies around her. : "You're talking nonsense."

A tentacle that swelled and shrank, with eyes and sharp teeth constantly appearing on the surface, suddenly wrapped around Shirley's arm. She felt numb in her heart. She used all her strength to break the shackles of the tentacle, and then pulled away the source of the tentacle. A group of shadows retreated, and then subconsciously glanced in Shirin's direction.

A wave of doubt suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart - I wonder if it was an illusion, but in just a few minutes, the elf named "Shireen" seemed to be becoming more... distinctively human than before?

Is it because of the sudden appearance of the attacker? Is it because of the changes brought about by fighting side by side?

Shirley still remembered the situation when she first came into contact with this elf. The other person didn't seem to have so many emotional reactions at that time. Although there were expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, those reactions were more like something planned in advance... or something. She would only keep emphasizing to herself her plan to go to the Wall of Silence. Other than that, no matter what she said, she would not have much reaction, let alone vivid "feedback" such as surprise, confusion, and rebuttal.

Shirley did not understand the professional knowledge of psychology or behavior, nor did she know how to describe the inconsistencies she felt. However, her experiences from childhood to adulthood had cultivated her instinct to sense the emotional changes of others, and she could She was keenly aware of the changes taking place in Shireen - but couldn't figure out why these changes had taken place.

But she didn't have much time to think about it.

Those sun remnants have gradually reacted after the initial chaos and established a foothold here. Now they are in danger.

A hazy shadow flashed from the edge of the field of vision. In a hurry, Shirley only had time to retract the chain in her hand and barely dodge the attack. But the next second, another spike came out from the shadows on the ground nearby and stabbed her. Her human arm.

The severe pain made her curse subconsciously. Agou immediately rushed over from the side and bit into the flesh and blood spikes that came out of the shadow. Shirley quickly retreated away from the dangerous attack range. , but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from behind her again.

She instinctively looked back, only to see a tall, thin black figure rising suddenly from the ground in front of her eyes. The next second, tentacles suddenly emerged from the "long windbreaker" of the tall, thin black figure. It entangled her arms and neck - she was suddenly dragged by the huge force that suddenly came from the tentacles. She only had time to scream in surprise before she was dragged in front of the black shadow.

The tall, thin black figure raised its "head" towards her - a ball of deformed and swollen flesh and blood emerged from the collar of the long windbreaker, and suddenly bloomed like a bud. Right in front of Shirley's eyes, the blooming bud of flesh and blood Eyes opened in it, countless sharp teeth, and countless tongue-like tentacles that squirmed and expanded wildly.

In that brief moment, Shirley seemed to hear a thousand voices exploding in her mind. Countless roars and whispers crowded into her brain layer by layer. Those roars and whispers seemed to be conveying some message to her. , but just when she thought she was about to understand those whispers, most of the information slipped through her mind without leaving any trace.

In this sudden "connection", her mind finally recorded only one vague and incomprehensible word -

"...find their...sun..."

Shirley seemed to be trapped in endless chaos, wrapped in boundless darkness and emptiness, and coerced by countless noises and roars. She slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the pile of blooming flesh and blood buds in front of her, resisting. Her consciousness seemed to have been separated from her body, and Agou's voice gradually faded away in her mind...

However, in the next second, a loud noise suddenly exploded deep in her consciousness. In the boundless darkness, Shirley saw a green flame suddenly jump, and the flame reflected her soul. She felt a sharp sting in her head - and in the next moment, she suddenly regained consciousness.

The tall and thin black figure reappeared in front of her, and the "head" made of dirty flesh and blood like a blooming flower bud was shaking violently in front of her eyes. The sun's remnants made a series of sharp hissing and whistling sounds, and seemed to be trapped in Shocked, it seemed that it could not understand why its "contamination" failed to invade the prey's mind - but soon, it no longer needed to be shocked.

Clusters of green flames suddenly appeared on the surface of countless eyeballs in the blooming buds, and in the blink of an eye, the reflections in the eyeballs turned into real spreading fire, and the spiritual fire erupted from the "head" of the sun's remnants. came out, burning the dream invader rapidly from the inside out.

The monster roared, twitched, and violently convulsed under the burning of the spiritual fire, curling into a dark and strange substance. Then, the flames flowing out of its body began to spread to the surroundings, as if it smelled the scent of prey. The predators flow towards the surrounding sun remnants that are constantly gathering.

The fire was as strong as the wind, and as the dots of fire jumped around, the surrounding sun remnants were ignited one by one, turning into countless blazing torches in almost the blink of an eye.

Shirley looked at this scene in astonishment. The terrifying feeling that her conscious world was almost eroded now turned into a cold lingering fear. However, this feeling of fear soon turned into another emotion as the spiritual fire spread—— She laughed, her wanton expression filled with pride. She raised the black iron chain in her hand and looked triumphantly at the remnants of the sun roaring and struggling in the flames: "What kind of spirit do you idiots like you want to do?" Pollution, right? I’m the captain’s wife!”

Of course, the remnants of the sun would not respond to her. Those blazing torches quickly fell down one by one, and turned into ashes flying in the wind before they could withdraw from the dreamland. As for Shirley, although she looked triumphant, But it wasn't until the last "torch" fell that she truly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned her head to look in the direction of Shirin.

But Shirin's voice reached her ears first: "Shirley, I feel... not very good..."

A feeling of heart palpitations and uneasiness suddenly came over. Shirley felt her heart tightening and hurriedly ran to Shirin's side. In the next second, she saw... changes in Shirin.

The elf girl's feet were gradually swallowed up by the earth at some point. Dark structures like roots split from her legs, and they continued to grow and merge into the soil. She raised her head and looked at Shirley's direction, as if she wanted to raise her arms, but her arms were gradually covered by bark-like structures - gradually becoming stiff and unable to move.
