Chapter 21: The paranoid mermaid loves me (21)
As soon as he finished speaking, Pal led the remaining tribesmen out of the Coral Sea.
"What's going on? Xiao Ye, why are all these mines surrounding Sals?" Tang Cuo was a little confused.
[Host, in this plane, Sals cannot violate the principles of the Ancient Ocean. Since he just used his special abilities on other races, he must accept the punishment.]
"So, these thunders are going to hit him?" Tangcuo looked at Sals who was hugging him tightly, not knowing what to do. "There is no way. Can you help him block it?"
[In fact, you don't have to worry too much, host, the mermaid's ability to heal and withstand stress is far beyond your imagination. Although he will be injured, he will not die. After all, he has the aura of the male protagonist.]
"Then... I'm so close to him, will I be struck to death?" Tang Cuo swallowed.
[No, at most I’ll be affected and injured.] Ono’s comforting voice sounded in my mind.
"I……"
"Boom" a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, interrupting Tangcuo's subsequent conversation. Sals rolled up his fish tail and locked Tangcuo tightly in his arms. The lightning hit his back, leaving a large burn mark.
But Sals had no intention of letting go. He quietly waited for the next lightning strike. As lightning struck one after another, the scars on his back grew bigger and bigger.
The scene of Tangcuo standing behind him just now flashed through Sals' mind, and his heart began to beat inexplicably.
"How many lightning strikes does he have to endure?" Tang Cuo felt a little reluctant.
[It will be over soon.]
Sure enough, after the system said this, the sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds, suddenly became clear and even the thunder and lightning disappeared without a trace.
Sals put his arms around Tangcuo's body and swam towards the Mandala Sea.
His speed was getting faster and faster, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye. Tangcuo stared at the disappearing Sals in a daze, "No... he just left like that, what should I do?"
[Host, please close your eyes, and then open them again]
Tang Cuo nodded, and then did as he was told. When he opened his eyes again, his soul had followed his body.
Sals quickly passed through the outskirts of the Mandragora Sea, lowered his eyes to look at his people below, he flicked his tail and did not stay for long.
Person looked up at the king speeding away, a little puzzled, "The king is so anxious, is he seriously injured? He needs treatment?"
"Why do I feel like the king is holding something in his arms?" Reis took over the conversation.
"Something? What?"
Tangcuo, who was following closely behind Sals, overheard the conversation between the mermaids. He curled his lips helplessly and retorted softly, "You are the thing, and your whole family is a thing!"
Of course, Person and the others couldn't hear Tangcuo's mumbling and continued their conversation.
"I feel like that human..." Lei Shi paused and said.
"Human? How is that possible? Didn't the king tell him to stay in the bedroom?" Person shook his head.
"It's indeed him." Pal stepped forward and waved his hand, signaling the mermaids standing aside to go back first, then turned to look at Person and Reiss.
"Him? What can he do?" Person said disdainfully, "A fragile human dares to participate in a war between tribes?"
"Well, if it weren't for him, the king might have been seriously injured. He suddenly appeared behind the king and blocked the sword-gate fish's attack on the king, and he was seriously injured." Pal said in a calm tone. He was increasingly confused about what this human meant.
As a mermaid researcher, he not only freed himself, but also helped Wang to block the damage. If his heart is also so pure, but if he is just acting...
Thinking of this, Pal thought for a moment and said to them, "Let's go, let's go back too. The Dragon Shark Tribe has been exterminated and will not come back again."
"The tribe was wiped out?" Person's tone was a little surprised. "Humph! It should have been done a long time ago. These bullies usually rely on their large numbers to bully other sea tribes. Now the king has eliminated the harm to the fish."
On the other side, Sals came to the rift where he had brought Tangcuo before, leaned over and jumped down.
"Hey? Isn't this the habitat of Dragon Fang? Why did Sals bring me here?"
[System detection, this place has sufficient spiritual energy, it should be the healing place of the mermaids, and there is also a huge saber-toothed shark guarding it, so the guide brought you here.]
As he spoke, Sals stopped, lowered his eyes to look at the dark scene in front of him, then waved his hand, and the surroundings suddenly lit up.
[Okay, host, it's time for you to return to your main body.]
As soon as he finished speaking, Tangcuo felt a force pushing him directly towards Sals, and his soul passed through his body and returned to his own body.
Sals carefully placed Tangcuo on a plant emitting blue light, reached out and brushed his messy hair, revealing a pale face.
Sals raised his hand and gently stroked his cheek, then sat beside him and looked at him quietly.
A warm current flowed into Tangcuo's body. He felt a very light force constantly impacting his limbs and bones. At the same time, he uttered a few moans.
Then he slowly opened his eyes, and when he looked up he saw Sals sitting next to him.
Uh...why did you wake up so soon?
It won't be exposed, right?
[It's alright, host. This is normal. This place is blessed with talented people and everything can be reshaped. If you wake up slowly, it will be easy to be exposed.]
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Tang Cuo suddenly felt relieved. He raised his eyes and made a shocked expression. Then he slowly sat up and touched his back, "I... am not dead..."
"Your life belongs to me. No one can take it away except me." Sals' eyes were deep and he moved closer to him.
Looking at his suddenly enlarged cheek, Tang Cuo subconsciously stepped back, but was blocked by Sals.
"King...what are you going to do?" Tangcuo pursed his lips: No way, it's not going to happen right now, I'm not ready yet, that...
"Human, why did you suddenly appear to block the arrow for me?" Sals' voice was low and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"I want you to be safe, and even when I saw you being besieged, I didn't think too much about it..." Tang Cuo said softly.
"How did you follow me? And how did you suddenly come to my side? You have to know that mermaids are very sensitive to any scent. You followed me, so I must know it, so..." There was a hint of inquiry in Sals's eyes.
I go……
He thought carefully, but...
Aren't you already in love with me? Why are you interrogating me like a criminal?
"Well... well, I also think I shouldn't hide it from you... When I was working at the research institute, a few scientists developed an item that could teleport, and I happened to have it with me, so I used it just now and you didn't notice..."
Tangcuo's eyes were red, and he looked like he had suffered a great injustice...
