The Lord who use immortals as food

After just a few dozen breaths, Black Cat agreed with Pei Ye's inference. The direction here is definitely not the same as the outside world, or it can be said that here, it is difficult to say that there is any concept of "direction".

They clearly turned back, but they did not pass the place where they had just fought with the first mermaid, and the traces of throwing swords and shooting sand disappeared. From this point of view, they thought they were heading north, or they were just wishful thinking.

This feeling of being an "outsider" is too strong. Obviously, the creatures that grow here have their own special perceptions, while others can only be people with five senses missing. This is probably why Taiping Cao tried his best to bring mermaids here.

If humans stray into this place, nine out of ten will die in confusion.

Pei Ye and Black Cat always pay attention to the oncoming mermaids, and use them as a reference to adjust the direction of advance...Darkness and coldness have always been following them, and they don't know whether their direction is correct.

The further they went, the more unpredictable the unknown would be. There seemed to be endless darkness ahead, and more and more mermaids were gathering around them.

Yu Sicheng seemed not to lose his direction. The wisp of fire hanging on his body was always approaching them firmly.

"There is some way for him and the mermaids to transmit information." Black Cat said.

Pei Ye did not answer. Compared with Black Cat, he was almost a real deaf and blind person in such an environment. He just thought silently.

And at this moment, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly smelled some strange smells... It was fragrance.

It was really fragrance. In the heavy, dark cold water, the ear canal and nasal cavity were under pressure that had to be relieved with true qi, but even in such a blockage, a kind of information that seemed to exist above all these feelings still floated steadily into his nasal cavity.

Tranquil, light, ethereal... Everything here is filled with strong blood and fishy smells, and the five senses are filled with murderous intent and coldness, but it is so light, like a crisp laugh of a girl by the spring stream.

It seems that everything is just a thick ink curtain, and it is the only stroke of color on it.

At the same moment when Pei Ye smelled this faint fragrance, the mermaids around him began to press in from the left front in large numbers, at least a dozen of them moved together, and the fierce water flow intertwined into a terrifying mess.

"They are blocking us." Pei Ye said, "Go head-on!"

"Yu Sicheng is still three hundred feet away." The black dragon reminded, and its long body had already rushed forward without any delay, and in an instant several sharp blood marks bloomed on the side of its body.

The powerful immortal hunter's body does have the world's top vitality, and its bones are often a hundred times stronger than other species. However, like the teenager who left his hometown for only half a year, Hei Chi is only in the infancy of his long life. Even if he has been helped by the treasure pill, it is by no means easy to face these groups of adult mermaids.

The spiritual energy stored in the body is limited. Consuming more of it on these mermaids means that there is less support when facing Yu Sicheng. From the moment they chose to face him, the danger of this trip has been rising.

Pei Ye couldn't see anything, and his hearing was also suppressed by the water, but he had clearly sensed at this time that they did cause some kind of disturbance. A large number of mermaids, dozens of them, surged in the darkness, and the chaotic and sharp sounds kept piercing the ears and brains. They came and went as if they were talking, and some even collided with the mermaids chasing them and couldn't dodge.

"Kitten, I really smelled it." Pei Ye whispered.

"What?"

"Flower fragrance."

"..."

"There are too many mermaids here, you get hurt too quickly, I'll do it."

"You're crazy, they can tear you apart in one breath."

"It's okay, didn't you feel it, they are hesitating." Pei Ye said quickly, "Their coordination is not as orderly as before."

The black cat paused. Yes, although there were still seven or eight of them holding on tightly behind them, and although the huge body of the Chi was still rapidly adding new injuries in the group of mermaids, some of them did start to wander.

Some began to stay in place, some swam back and forth frantically, as if the command in the mind and the instinct of the body were in conflict, and some let out a sharp roar.

"I'll do it." Pei Ye said again.

The black Chi stopped talking, and with one last flick of its tail, it helped the boy to move forward, and it had turned into a kitten and shrank into his arms.

In the vast darkness, the feeling of emptiness and helplessness descended again. Pei Ye immediately pursed his lips and went down in the direction he had identified. His speed was indeed far behind that of the black dragon. The sharp teeth and claws caught up with him in just two breaths. Pei Ye paid the price of having his right shoulder pierced to fight the fastest one, and the lagging ones had caught up again.

But they did not rush up, and Pei Ye gritted his teeth and the sword in front of him did not meet the impact - only a few steps away, these fierce water flows all stopped in front of him.

Pei Ye could not see anything in the darkness, but he realized that he might have found something.

He reached behind him clumsily like a disabled person, first a piece of rugged stone... then his hand touched a few thin soft pieces.

And as he touched, it seemed that something was awakened, like a candle light that had just been lit, slowly growing from a small fireball... So Pei Ye saw a light source other than the dragon fire for the first time in this realm.

The faint, soft light, like warm jade in the night, reflected in the boy's eyes, is a slowly blooming... such a beautiful flower.

The petals are as slender as willow leaves, and as thin as cicada wings. Twenty-four petals are linked together, emitting a cool blue light, a color that is almost dreamy.

It has no branches or leaves, only a slender stem, which does not steal the show under the big flower.

A wisp of light mist-like gauze surrounds the stem, gently swaying diagonally in the water as if in the wind. But they are not tied to the stem, but extend downward into the soil, as if entangled with the roots.

The jade-blue glow reflected in the boy's pupils, and also vaguely reflected his face and long blood-stained hair. In the dim light, the blood mist from the wounds was tied into a ribbon-like shape, rushing towards the flower and slowly soaking into the petals.

Pei Ye did not expect this scene, nor did he expect the next scene - the flower in his field of vision suddenly spread out, and the petals flew towards him, sinking into his body from his fingertips.

Pei Ye was stunned and had no way to avoid it - he was still mostly alert to the mermaids behind him - the next moment, the Chihuo in his body also hit nothing, but he did not feel anything unusual. He lowered his head and saw the flower floating on his wrist, with twenty-four small willow scales gathered in a flower shape.

But the next moment, the abnormality surged up, and he felt a dizziness like the world was spinning, as if all four directions and five senses were in chaos and inversion. The Quail Head wanted to do something at this moment, but found that the dizziness did not affect his mind at all... Then Pei Ye suddenly realized something in shock and stopped interfering with it.

This is not dizziness... This is a correction.

The human sense of direction was corrected and replaced, and the chaotic four directions returned to their positions. Pei Ye suddenly understood what kind of headless fly journey they had just walked;

The swaying limbs stopped, and Pei Ye suddenly lost the sense of resistance to the water inexplicably. The heaviness, coldness, instability...all disappeared from his feelings. He even felt the freedom in the water, the feeling of not being bound by the earth...

A layer of strange light blue covered his pupils, and then the thick darkness around him gradually became transparent, and he saw everything about the bottom of the lake...It turned out that this place was never a void and empty darkness. From the direction they came to here, it was from monotony to prosperity and luxuriance.

Undulating gullies and hills, a wide variety of water plants, small fish of different sizes, shuttled back and forth, and tall rocks of different sizes...and the clear, detailed and cold mermaid faces in front of him.

Two sharp hisses came from the trembling of their throats and necks. It took only a few breaths, and it seemed that the command in the mind finally prevailed. Three mermaids jumped at the same time.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

There was almost no visible water wave resistance. Their movements were like air, and they were as fast as poisonous snakes. As soon as their bodies moved, the sharp claws were already in front of the throat.

Pei Ye was slightly stunned by this speed, thinking that he had always been facing such an opponent... Then he twisted his wrist and raised his sword to seal in front of this claw, and a low "clang" sounded in the water.

Pei Ye leaned over to let the second mermaid stabbing at his chest pass, and at the same time, the sword was tilted with his body, crossing with the claws that were resisting each other, and the sharp sound that made people ache suddenly sounded and fell, and the sword blade had split the entire arm along its bones and tendons.

An angry scream of pain rang in the water. Pei Ye's sword turned and cut its throat. Then he turned around and held the sword on his back, blocking the attack of the second mermaid. At the same time, the third mermaid in front of him had penetrated the blood mist and rushed straight to his face.

In the two rounds of fighting just now, he had always accurately used the body of the mermaid he had just killed as a partition to temporarily separate it from the battle.

Pei Ye glanced at it, and the sword behind him slightly shook. The [Spread Wings] accumulated in the three rounds of fighting suddenly emptied, and [Clearing] instantly knocked open the two arm claws of the mermaid behind him and pierced through his chest.

Pei Ye loosened the hilt of the sword and let the long sword pass through the chest of the mermaid behind him and swept into the water. At the same time, his body crashed backwards. The mermaid with a bloody hole in his chest still had a strong vitality. The middle finger claw crossed over the shoulder and dug into Pei Ye's throat in the roar. Pei Ye held its elbow with one hand and its wrist with the other, and then exerted force with both hands, breaking its arm with a "crack", and then pulled it in front of him.

At this time, the third mermaid was chasing him with a scream, but beside him, a stream of light in the water drew a graceful arc, passing through its throat, and the blood mist returned to Pei Ye's hand as it dispersed.

Pei Ye stabbed the mermaid in front of him with a horizontal sword, cutting off the throat of the mermaid in front of him, and then let go of his hand, and the bodies of the three mermaids fell slowly from the water at the same time.

He lowered his head and looked at the sword in silence. This time, his body was covered with the blood of the enemy.

After mastering the power of water, many sword techniques returned to him cordially, and [Carrying a New Corpse] was not very strenuous.

The black cat also poked his head out of his collar and looked at the scale flower mark on his wrist.

Pei Ye still didn't speak. At this time, he heard a very light voice, coming from somewhere, maybe in his heart, maybe in his ears, as light as the wind, as ethereal as the fragrance of flowers just now.

"You use the sword really well... It reminds me of some old friends." She smiled and looked up, "Unfortunately, I can't remember what they look like."

Pei Ye turned his head suddenly, and saw a very faint female figure sitting where the flowers just grew. This beautiful figure, just a shadow, made Pei Ye dazed for a moment. She leaned her hands on her side, tilted her head and looked at him and smiled softly: "You are the first person I like you to come in, I can't explain why."

She pointed gently at the ground below her: "I named this flower 'Luo Shen Mu Tao'. You Confucian scholars on the shore often recite, 'Give me Mu Tao, I repay you with Qiong Yao', that's it. Drinking it can make you clear-eyed, sharp-eared, and water-resistant. Well... if you have the legendary 'Dantian Immortal Planting Method', you may even be able to grow meridian trees. It lasts for a quarter of an hour. No matter where you come from, I hope you can return to the shore safely and smoothly."

"..." Pei Ye subconsciously looked down at the mark on his wrist. When he looked up again, the already faint figure had disappeared.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he looked into his Dantian. He saw that the tender short buds on the seven lives had grown visibly. Even though it was still a drop in the bucket, it made Pei Ye completely speechless.

——Since he had never met the Immortal Lord, Binglu had never grown under other feedings.

He looked down at the black cat, which was also stunned, but this was not the time to think about it. He looked up at the remaining mermaids in front of him, and in the distance, there were more shadowy eyes looking here, some of them were hesitant and fearful, and some were still rushing here while wandering.

It seems that even if there is no iron rule between him and them, there is obviously a soft constraint that is difficult to cross... Pei Ye has always remembered the short note he saw in Yu Sicheng's study.

"Two flowers, one mermaid servant died, three injured..." Will this flower hurt them? Is it the smell?

The three mermaids who just attacked him actually showed some crookedness before they died... Pei Ye suddenly had a wonderful guess in his mind. When the mermaids entered here, would they be in the same state as before he drank the scale flower?

"Yu Sicheng still has a hundred feet." The black cat whispered.

Pei Ye's heart trembled, and he finally looked back in the direction he came from, turned around, and disappeared into the water grass and stone forest.

The bad news is that Yu Sicheng is not a mermaid.

The good news is that without the mermaid following him, Yu Sicheng may not be able to find his trace in the water.
