Chapter 2309 Fierce Battle at the Seaside
The cool sea water makes bursts of joy, and the roaring sea breeze blows wet cheeks.
At this moment, I feel a little cold.
Little Lantern, a mermaid girl with short brown hair, hugged the purse filled with gold coins tightly, and looked at me with a vigilant and longing look. Her big, smart and pure eyes flashed with desire and desire for gold coins. Persistence.
However--
"I only brought these for this trip. I really can't give you more."
"Is there really nothing we can do?" Little Lantern was a little disappointed. His big, smart eyes kept looking at my deflated pockets, and finally, he fixed his gaze on my pair of gauntlets.
"This won't work." I shook my head: "These gloves are very important to me."
"Is it important?" She tried her best to look away and focused on my two knives again.
"Ahem, as an adventurer, you should know the significance of weapons to adventurers, right?"
"Oh" Little Lantern finally got discouraged. She pursed her lips, her face full of disappointment and grievance.
I really don’t understand why this girl is so obsessed with gold coins? Could it be that the mermaid clan living in the deep sea also need gold coins for transactions?
Thinking of this, I asked the little lantern: "Do you, the mermaid clan, also use gold coins when trading?"
The little lantern nodded thoughtfully.
"No wonder" I nodded: "What about the prices?"
"It's almost the same as yours," Little Lantern murmured with his mouth flat.
"Then you shouldn't be so disappointed," I said. "This bag of gold coins may not seem like much, but it is enough for an ordinary family to live a prosperous life for more than ten years. I believe that you will go back with these gold coins." , it will definitely make your family happy.”
After hearing what I said, the little lantern's eyes suddenly dimmed, and in an instant it changed from a budding narcissus to a withered and fallen leaf.
He touched his nose awkwardly: "Uh, did I say something wrong?"
"Little Lantern has no family anymore," she said sadly: "Originally, Little Lantern and Grandpa depended on each other, but one day, Grandpa said he wanted to rescue his missing grandma, and then there was no news from him. Later, Little Lantern's only friend Kong Kongyi , was also captured by the bad guys, leaving only Little Lantern alone. He was often bullied by male mermaids and forced into marriage. Little Lantern didn't want to marry those ugly guys, so he could only escape to the shallow sea and fish and shrimp every day. We catch crabs to eat, but many of the fish, shrimps and crabs in the shallow sea are very small, and it takes several days to have a full meal.”
The little lantern became more and more sad as he talked, and soon started to cry.
Her tears were as crystal clear as the sea water. They fell on the beach and quickly melted into the sand. It turned out that the mermaid's tears were not pearls.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know this. It was wrong of me to offend you."
"No, it's okay." She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Then what are you going to do in the future?" I asked: "Are you going to continue living in this shallow sea? I suggest you take the money and try living in other sea areas. In this way, you may be able to get rid of the painful situation and start a new life. life."
Little Lantern shook his head and said firmly: "Grandpa and Kong Kongyi have not been found yet. I will not leave casually, nor will I give up easily!"
"Well, come on, I believe you can do it!"
After listening to my encouragement, instead of being excited, she became even more depressed: "But, Little Lantern is just an ordinary mermaid. She can't defeat those powerful bad guys, let alone save Kong Kongyi. Can you help me?" "
"I'm sorry that I can't agree to your request." I said helplessly: "The deep sea is different from the land. For ordinary humans like me, there are too many constraints and restrictions. And even on land, I can't guarantee that everything can be done. It can be done, let alone the deep sea, so..."
I didn't continue talking because the little lantern was already bursting into tears and looked like he was about to die from sadness.
"Hey, Xiaoyi, what are you doing? Why don't you go back?"
Behind him, Billy's voice sounded.
I stood up, turned to Billy, and said, "I was drowning just now. Thanks to the help of this friend, I was able to get out of danger."
"Friend?" Billy walked closer and saw the crying pear blossom with rain on the little lantern. It was like a lit explosive pack and exploded with a bang. He stumbled, unsheathed his swords and glared angrily. , said: "Xiaoyi! What did you do to this little girl! Why did she cry so sadly? You are simply a beast!"
After that, without listening to my explanation, he rushed over with a lunge and slashed at my ribs with his two knives.
"Hey! You bastard, you are so deadly!" I quickly took out my sword from its sheath, blocked it left and right, and blocked the two swords. At the same time, I explained: "Why do you just do it! You don't even ask why!"
"No matter what the reason is!" Billy slashed one after another with excitement and ferocity: "Anyway, you made the girl cry. This is a crime and must be paid!"
After blocking a few more knives, he glanced at Billy's expression and suddenly realized, "I finally understand, what nonsense is there to pay for the crime? You just want to find an opportunity to fight with me, right?"
"What's the matter!" Billy was so excited: "I am also about to reach level ten, but I just missed a chance. Today! I! Billy! I must lend your hand to break through the tenth level!"
The sword was as bright as lightning, dazzling the eyes. Billy used the ghost sword technique in his hand to the extreme. It was as fast as lightning. Even if I was four levels higher than him, it was a bit difficult to block them all.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared: "When did you become so proficient in Li Gui swordsmanship?"
"Humph, just when you were wandering around!" Billy sneered: "You stopped moving forward, but I regarded you as a target and worked hard to compete with you. How hard we worked They are all different, and the results are of course different! Hehehehe! Just wait until you become my defeated general!"
With a loud shout, Billy charged forward again, with his right shoulder in front and his left arm behind. His momentum was like a long flood, unstoppable!
It was actually an army-breaking dragon attack!
"It seems that you have also understood the Army-breaking Dragon Strike!" I laughed and jumped back one after another to avoid this rampant blow.
"Tsk, did you miss? What a pity!" After one move missed, Billy changed his move instantly, took a few steps forward, and actually stabbed me with the tip of the knife.
I smiled disdainfully, swung my knife to block it, and directly deflected one of them. Unexpectedly, the other knife followed closely like a ghost and stabbed me in the lower abdomen.
"Hiss!" I gasped and was slightly surprised. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the blade of the knife, thus avoiding being stabbed by the knife.
"What a powerful thrust!" I couldn't help but praise.
Billy drew his knife, changed his moves again, and launched another army-breaking dragon attack. At the same time, he shouted in a low voice: "Don't be distracted, it's not over yet!"
