Chapter 187 Fellow Daoist, Please Stay! (4k)
Two days later, in the Inner Sea of Oceanus.
The white dolphins and blue narwhals, each wrapped in a figure, cut through the waves and passed through the sea quickly.
The sky behind them was scarlet, and a large area of blood clouds spread with the wind, chasing them relentlessly.
At the same time, in the fusion of blood and sea water, the scarlet that penetrated into the water turned into colorful sea snakes, swimming towards the prey in front.
Looking at the group of "spicy strips" with bright colors and very social tattoos written all over their bodies, Lorne did not hesitate to speed up, and gradually distanced himself by taking advantage of the special marine environment such as reefs, islands, whirlpools, etc.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Thetis's warning came to his ears.
"Be careful ahead!"
In the colorful corals ahead, dozens of sea snakes transformed from blood and qi, camouflaged by colors, blended with various strange corals, lurking motionlessly on the road that the two had to pass, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
So fast?
Luo En was secretly shocked, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Haven't these divine creations been thrown away? How could they arrive at their road ahead of time and ambush them?
There is a problem!
At this time, Thetis obviously realized this.
"Something is wrong. In the past two days, we have successfully thrown them away several times, but they will catch up with us again not long after. Whether it is changing the appearance or using [Sea Protection] to eliminate their own breath, it seems to be useless."
Combined with the fact that these sea snakes ignored detours and camouflage and took a shortcut to block them in front, the two looked at each other and instantly realized a possibility.
"Tracking magic!"
"Divine mark!"
They answered in unison and came to roughly the same conclusion.
"No matter what, find that thing first!"
Lorne said in a deep voice, and the [Giant Whale] behind him shook its head and tail, activating the power of the sea to the extreme.
Thousands of tons of seawater pushed forward in layers, crushing the coral bushes ahead and the divine sea snakes lurking in them, opening up a safe path forward.
The two people, who had gradually developed a tacit understanding during the escape, immediately walked quickly through the messy coral bush, while rhythmically inspecting every inch of skin and flesh on the body.
Soon, Lorne opened his eyes first and shook his head.
"No……
"Here I am."
In the depressed reply, Thetis bit her lips, with a complicated expression on her face. She pulled down the shoulder strap on one side of her dress, revealing a red and black mark on the left side of her back.
Three entangled snakes intertwined into a circular outline, and a cluster of flames representing revenge danced and burned in the center.
Seeing the scarlet mark on the ocean goddess's snow-white skin, Lorne's heart sank.
The Seal of Revenge - the divine mark of the Three Furies, is a secret method used to hunt down the target of punishment.
The terrible thing is that this thing is rooted in the recipient's sins and cannot be eliminated at will unless he is completely innocent.
As for the moral standards of the Greek gods, they all understand it. Who hasn’t done something wrong?
To be serious, I'm afraid even the fertilized eggs are not innocent in the true sense.
Therefore, without corresponding means, he really has nothing to do with this thing.
"When did this happen?"
"It should be the time we just met..."
Thetis looked at the ominous scarlet mark and felt annoyed.
"I seem to have been dripped with a few drops of strange blood on my back, but I didn't notice it at the time."
Lorne raised his hand to touch his forehead, his face quite helpless.
He really had screwed Thetis again.
The goddess of the sea had originally been hiding in an isolated island in the primitive ocean, and was sunbathing on the beach at the time.
Who would have thought that disaster would come from the sky, and Lorne landed on the island with a sky full of blood.
As a result, not only did Thetis lose her new home, but she was also invaded by the divinity of the three goddesses of vengeance because she was not prepared, and was successfully marked and branded with shame.
You have a conflict and you catch him, what does it have to do with me? I was just sunbathing at the door of my house, how could I be involved?
Thetis looked back at the three goddesses of vengeance and a certain red-haired goddess who were chasing after her, and couldn't help but look at a certain culprit with grief and anger.
"I winked at you, but you spoke without seeing it. Can you blame me?"
Lorne was also helpless. The first time he saw Thetis, he wanted to pretend that they didn't know each other, so as not to pit the unlucky sea goddess again.
But he obviously underestimated Thetis's resentment towards him.
Before she could understand the meaning of Lorne's eyes, the sea goddess began to accuse her own misfortune and the inhumanity of a certain troublemaker.
Moreover, the script used was still the ambiguous and resentful style of a woman.
Now, Eris, who had just failed to recruit and lost face, was hit by tons of critical hits. She was so angry that she directly identified them as adulterers and wanted to bury them together.
Unwilling to be a fish in the water again, Thetis looked at the red-haired goddess who was coming in the air behind her and asked without giving up.
"How about explaining it?"
"You can try."
Lorne showed encouragement in his eyes, made a gesture of please, and added faintly.
"But a friendly reminder, the one behind is called Eris, the goddess of discord, and the sister of Ares..."
"..."
Thetis's face twitched, and her eyes became more resentful.
Ares's sister, the goddess of war and disaster system, what else can I say?
Sensing the little divine power left in her body, looking at the rich blood color approaching behind her, the sea goddess sighed and waved helplessly.
"Forget it, let's act separately. Without the tracking of the mark, you should be able to get rid of them."
As a sea fairy known for her wisdom, Thetis's combat ability and divine accumulation can only be regarded as average. She can hold on until now without falling behind, but she still relies on the protection of the sea divinity in the water.
At present, in this chase that lasted for two days and two nights, she has reached the end of her strength.
From a rational point of view, it is meaningless to stay with this guy as a beacon, so it is better to separate.
Although she has the mark of revenge on her, the opponent obviously attracts more hatred.
Who can successfully escape depends on their own ability and fate.
"Why are you running? It's not the end of the road yet."
However, as soon as Thetis started to move, Lorne unceremoniously pulled the sea goddess who was about to part ways with him back to his side.
Then, he picked up Thetis, shook off the swarm of poisonous snakes behind him, jumped out of the water, drew runes, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Xantos, Balios!"
Suddenly, two brightly colored divine horses jumped out of the magic circle reflected on the sea, pulling a bronze chariot to the side of their master.
Lorne decisively threw Thetis into the chariot, then picked up the spear of nation-building and whipped the two horses hard on their buttocks.
"Go!"
The two horses neighed in pain, and immediately carried Thetis forward and rushed out of danger.
Then, seeing the blood light approaching behind him, Lorne immediately activated the extreme speed of [Goat] and the protection of the sea of [Giant Whale], and rushed forward on the sea.
In a few breaths, he was like a comet, crossing the vast sea, walking on the undulating waves as if walking on flat ground, and caught up with the bronze chariot pulled by the two divine horses, leaving Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance behind him, far behind.
Really TM can run!
Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance jumped up and down in anger, and couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.
From the primordial ocean to the inland sea of Oceanus, he slipped the four of them all the way, and at the same time possessed the protection of the ocean, the skills of a warrior, and the speed of a hurricane... Is this a servant god of the family stove? A newcomer who is responsible for brewing and pouring wine for Olympus?
Family members, who would believe it if I told others!
"Go! Using multiple divine powers at the same time will definitely not last too long. He can't run far!"
Eris vibrated the black wings behind her and issued orders with gritted teeth.
First, she was chased all the way, and then she was slipped away all the way. She is very angry now.
Today, no matter what, she must catch the couple, and then hang them up and beat them up to let her vent her anger.
The three goddesses of vengeance responded with angry eyes, and set off a more intense scarlet storm, sweeping towards the bronze chariot galloping on the sea.
Looking at the scarlet that was still biting at the back, Thetis frowned and looked at Lorne, who was calm beside her, and asked tentatively.
"Do you have any other way?"
"Of course!"
Lorne nodded calmly to appease, while driving the bronze chariot, breaking through the vast sea fog, and accelerating towards the islands dotted in front of him, with a friendly smile with ill intentions on his face.
Everyone, I'm here again.
As a wicked man pulls the reins and drives the bronze chariot through the cracks of the islands with a flexible trajectory, large amounts of scarlet blood and swarms of wriggling poisonous snakes will flood the islands along the way.
For a moment, there were cries and shouts that echoed through the sky.
"Who? Who did it!"
Several figures flew up in the air one after another, looking for the murderer.
However, when they saw the goddess of discord Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance flapping their wings in the center of the scarlet storm, their faces changed drastically, cursing, and jumping into the deep sea like dumplings, diving and running away.
Damn it! Which bastard provoked these four disasters together and led them from the primitive ocean to the near sea!
At the same time, Thetis looked back at the chaotic sea behind him and the scarlet storm that paused slightly due to the interference, and then looked at the culprit who came to harm the sea gods again.
"Your method..."
"This is a necessary sacrifice!"
Lorne patted Thetis on the shoulder and answered earnestly.
At the same time, a sincere solemnity and heaviness appeared on that handsome face, as if he was a compassionate saint.
I will thank you for your sacrifice and be with you.
Of course, in spirit...
To show that what he said was true, Loen turned to the "fellow Taoists" behind him and silently drew a cross in his heart.
At this time, seeing that the scarlet storm passed through the obstacles and began to spread rapidly, the distance kept getting closer, and Thetis immediately reminded in a deep voice.
"They are coming again! Go!"
Hearing the warning from the sea goddess beside him, Loen felt relieved.
Fortunately, she was not a real saint.
After all, he pulled the group of sea gods behind him into the water because Thetis could not run anymore.
If the sea goddess really wanted to criticize him morally and seek justice for her compatriots behind her, Loen could only respect her choice and throw her off the chariot.
But then, the advice in his ear completely shattered Loen's doubts and refreshed his cognition.
"45 degrees south by east, there are many islands there..."
Good guy, you are the hidden living devil.
Watching Thetis sell the irrelevant sea gods and their followers around without hesitation, Loen muttered in his heart.
Sure enough, there is no real saint white lotus who can survive in the Greek gods and protect herself.
Even if the surface is white, it is black after cutting, and she has done many unscrupulous things.
For example, in order to drive away Ares who came to the door, she sold Adonis without hesitation.
No wonder the mark of the goddess of vengeance was successfully engraved on her.
Since everyone is not a good person, I am relieved.
Lorne shook off his psychological burden, turned around and whispered to his accomplice who was getting more and more in tune with him.
"Remember to put on a disguise."
"Which level are you talking about?"
Thetis turned her head, and the light patterns around her body floated, making the figure in the light cocoon look like a mermaid, a snake woman, a flying bird, and a sea beast.
"..." Lorne was silent for a while, then bowed his hands, "...Excuse me."
Then, he also followed suit and activated the cognitive distortion of the memory divinity and the madness of the Dionysus divinity, adding several layers of disguise to himself, and at the same time used the power of [Giant Whale] to cover the entire bronze chariot in case of an emergency.
In a gust of lightning, the blue light and shadow that could not be seen skillfully passed over several islands.
The scarlet storm followed closely, bringing a catastrophic blood color, causing a group of sea gods and their followers who had suffered an unprovoked disaster to curse endlessly.
After repeating this several times, the sea gods and their followers who were used as shields also learned their lesson. They jumped into the sea and ran away without waiting for the damned [Giant Whale] to come to them, so as to avoid suffering an unexpected disaster.
Soon, Loen found that the shields seemed to be insufficient.
What was worse was that Thetis covered the venomous snake brand on her back, which was gradually heating up, with cold sweat on her forehead and a painful expression on her face.
Seeing this, Loen immediately took out some of his mind and asked with concern.
"What's going on?"
"Hatred seems to activate and enhance the power of this brand..."
Thetis suppressed the pain of the venomous snake biting, and answered in a deep voice, her pearly teeth had unknowingly bitten her cherry lips.
The goddesses of vengeance were born for hatred, and the more disputes and turmoil expanded, the more powerful their divinity would be.
No wonder Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance behind her were not afraid of offending the sea gods at all, but became more and more courageous.
Loen thought of this and frowned deeply.
Can't continue to drag it on? Trouble...
Just when Loen was a little overwhelmed, a bright golden light pierced the scarlet blood cloud in front of him, and a high-pitched and majestic roar came from it.
"Willful and reckless thugs, the Oceanus Sea will not tolerate your rampage!"
Hearing the indignant declaration, Loen couldn't help but smile with relief on his face.
After so much trouble, someone who can fight finally appeared on the sea!
And when Loen's eyes saw the long sword and scales in the hands of the golden figure, his eyes became more eager.
Good guy, it's still a big fish!
At the same time, Loen put on an indignant look, turned around and shouted angrily, and followed the footsteps of the golden figure.
"You are right. I will never tolerate evil!"
