Chapter 790 Naughty Child
With Angel's temperament, he didn't mind helping the child who fell into the water.
However, from the mouths of the surrounding villagers, Angel learned that his previous guess was indeed correct. Kumoer had brought it upon himself. He had deliberately dived to scare other friends at the beginning. When he wanted to come out, the current accident happened.
This kind of naughty child needs a lesson. Angel felt that now that he had become the bait of the sea beast, it was a good retribution in this life.
Therefore, he did not act immediately, but just stood behind the crowd and watched coldly. Anyway, no matter how fast the sea beast was, could it be faster than Toby's speed?
He waited leisurely for this disaster, which made a heavy mark in the life of the naughty child Kumoer. But unexpectedly, someone who ran to save him without risking his life appeared halfway.
Moreover, this person was Dulu.
Angel shook his head and strongly disagreed with Dulu's behavior.
Kindness and evil, enthusiasm and indifference, in fact, for all living beings, it is just a choice question. From an absolutely rational standpoint, there is no right or wrong, it just depends on your own choice.
To a large extent, due to Jon's education on Earth, Angel is a white wizard who is inclined to order and rules.
But even so, Angel still thinks that Duru's behavior is irrational.
If Duru is facing only an ordinary beast, it will be fine. With human wisdom and skills, he will not necessarily lose even if facing a powerful shark whale. He uses his love and enthusiasm, and maybe he can really create a miracle.
But Duru is now facing an extraordinary sea beast. He is still just an ordinary person. How can he face extraordinary life? Moreover, it is still in the home court of sea beasts. This is definitely a dead end.
In the end, not only can he not save the bear child, but he also sacrificed his own life, which is really irrational.
The most valuable property of a wizard is the knowledge in his head and the long life required to acquire and deepen knowledge. If he dies, it will be over, and there will be nothing left. In the future, Duru will embark on the path of pursuing the truth. Therefore, Angel does not agree with Duru's behavior.
In the cruel and calculating wizard world, you can be kind and enthusiastic, but you must recognize your own abilities. Do what you can do at what stage of your ability.
Angel still did not move, but watched Dulu and his friends from a distance and indifferently, driving the fishing boat to the place where Kumor fell into the water.
Originally, he just wanted to teach the bear kid a lesson, but now there is another person.
Time passed little by little, Dulu's fishing boat was getting closer and closer to Kumor, and the lurking sea beast also flashed blood in its eyes, and it seemed that it had plans to close the net.
The people on the shore were desperate. They also saw the situation clearly at this time and understood that the sea beast was deliberately setting up a trap. Some people even shouted to Dulu and Leif to retreat and not get involved, but it was obviously too late.
At this time, Angel's attention was moved away from Dulu and placed on Kumor.
"It's a bit strange." Angel frowned. This bear kid had been flopping on the sea for almost half a day, and he was still flopping. An ordinary person would have been exhausted long ago, and the longer he struggled, the more likely his legs would cramp.
This child was like a perpetual motion machine, not at all like he was on the water, but rather like he was jumping on the ground.
Angel was a little confused, but he didn't think about it any further. Perhaps children who grew up in a fishing village have an instinctive talent for swimming, right?
When Dulu and Leif's fishing boat was still two boat bodies away from Kumor, Kumor finally found someone coming to save him.
The child, whose throat was dry from crying, immediately wanted to swim towards the fishing boat.
But as soon as he moved, he found that his whole body began to fall. He was fine before, but now he was in trouble? The child immediately sank and floated in the sea, and his head was submerged in water and out of water, which was more dangerous than the previous struggle.
"Uncle Dulu, save me!" Kumoer spat out water, and seawater began to rush into his nose. He looked extremely pitiful: "Save me..."
"Stupid kid, how many times have I told you to call me brother!" Dulu's voice was very soft. He responded subconsciously while handing the paddle to Kumoer: "Grab the paddle!"
Kumoer struggled for a long time, but his hands couldn't touch the paddle at all. He just kept covering his nasal cavity that was filled with water, and then said weakly: "I... I have a cramp in my leg..."
"Damn it!" Dulu cursed. It didn't cramp earlier or later, but it cramped at this time! Why didn't you cramp before? !
At this time, Leif behind Dulu trembled and said, "Dududu...Lu, the sea beast is coming..."
Dulu also turned his head at this time, but saw that the sea beast that had been stagnant in the same place finally revealed most of its head and swayed lazily towards Dulu. In its eyes, the two mortals on the boat were already a dish in its mouth, so it didn't even use its energy and rushed over like an ordinary sea fish.
Even if the sea beast was just swimming normally, its movements were very fast.
When Dulu shouted "Be careful", the sea beast had already opened its bloody mouth and bit down fiercely on the not-so-big black-sailed boat.
The sound of huge teeth biting and crushing, and two plops, sounded at the same time.
Dulu and Leif stood at the bow and stern of the boat respectively, and then jumped into the sea on both sides. And the sea beast's bite directly bit the boat in half.
The sea beast that had eaten a mouthful of wood shook its head and shook out the wood residue in its mouth, and its scarlet eyes looked at the two again.
"Swim quickly, swim back to the shore!" Dulu shouted loudly.
In fact, without waiting for Dulu to shout, Leif followed his survival instinct and swam to the shore after jumping into the water.
The relatives on the shore were crying and trying to guide them in the direction.
The direction Dulu jumped into happened to be near Kumar. He originally wanted to swim back, but when he heard the bear child next to him unconsciously calling "Uncle Duru", he gritted his teeth again, stretched out his hand to hold Kumar in his arms, and swam with him.
Fortunately, Kumar is currently in a semi-comatose state, and his hands and feet are not struggling, otherwise the instinctive struggle when drowning is enough to kill them.
However, even so, they are not optimistic now.
Because the lizard-like sea beast chose Duru's side first between Duru and Leif. After all, there were two people here, and Leif was the only one on his side.
The sea beast still swam over slowly. Even if Dulu risked his life, he couldn't outswim the aquatic sea beast.
When the sea beast swam two meters behind Dulu and the others, it opened its big mouth that exuded a fishy smell and bit them fiercely.
Dulu's long-term survival skills in the Devil's Sea made him instinctively dodge and escape the attack.
But good luck can't always be there. The sea beast got a little angry after two consecutive bites without "meat". The sea water was mobilized to block Dulu's route and sight.
The sea beast bit down again, and this time Dulu forced himself into the seabed and passed through from the right side.
Although he successfully dodged, a whistling sound came from behind. He looked back and saw several water arrows spraying out of the sea beast's mouth.
Dulu's fighting instinct made him curl up and dodge several more, but there was still one that directly cut across his left cheek, tearing his skin apart instantly.
Before the pain reached the central nervous system, the smell of blood began to spread.
Dulu reached out and touched his left face. He could still feel the smooth skin, but why did he always feel like he was missing something... At this time, a strong sense of dizziness and pain finally broke out.
The pain was not fatal, Dulu felt a twitch in his calf. The consequences of his several vigorous operations in the sea just now finally began to burst out.
Dulu's screams came from a distance. Leif didn't know what happened behind, but he didn't dare to look back at this time, so he could only continue to swim forward.
When Dulu's leg cramped, the sea beast slowly swam towards Dulu again, and opened its mouth in Dulu's desperate eyes.
Dulu thought he would die here today, and endless regret rose from his heart.
If he hadn't returned to the small fishing village at first, if he had returned to Yuese City yesterday despite Leif's invitation, if he hadn't gone out to sea today, if he hadn't rushed to save people in a fit of passion, would he not have faced death?
But everything had already happened, and the wrong choice had led him to this road of death.
Du Lu closed his eyes, with deep regret on his face.
Just as he was waiting for death, a cold voice sounded from his ears: "You did something beyond your ability without recognizing the reality, and that's your fault."
"Remember, I saved your life this time. Cherish your life, I'm waiting for you to pay me back."
Du Lu suddenly opened his eyes, and at some point, a thin and tall figure appeared in front of him, facing the sea beast on the sea that was extremely terrifying to him.
With a crescent blade, the sea beast was chopped in half.
"Hey, hey, hey... saved?"
Looking at the sea beast that was so powerful, it turned into two pieces in an instant. Dulu's heart was extremely complicated. In addition to the joy of being saved, he felt more lonely after this impulsive trip.
The one who saved people was naturally Angel.
He was suspended above the sea, slightly turned his face, and stared at the dazed Dulu with cold pupils: "I hope you can learn a lesson this time."
After that, Angel waved his sleeves, grabbed Dulu in his magic hand, and flew back to the shore.
The exclamations and joys on the shore made Leif pause. He had not felt the movement of the sea beast behind him. He looked back quietly, but saw the two halves of the sea beast floating on the sea.
When he looked at the shore, he saw Angel floating in the sky and putting Dulu and the unconscious Kumor on the beach.
"Is that what Dulu said... the wizard master?"
When Leif swam back to the shore, it should have been a happy moment, but everyone was silent.
Leif looked over in confusion, only to find that Dulu, who was sitting in the center of the crowd, was covering his left ear, looking distraught.
When Leif looked carefully, he found that there was a huge cut on Dulu's left cheek, and his left ear simply... disappeared.
