A drop of water fell on Bai Ya's face, and then another drop.
Under this regular and uninterrupted gentle blow, he slowly opened his eyes. What appeared in his eyes was still boundless darkness, no brighter than when he closed his eyes. He didn't feel much on his back. It wasn't until he put his backhand on it that he realized it was a slightly smooth stone slab. No slimy texture, that is, no moss.
There are some water stains on the stone slabs, which may have fallen from above. He straightened up and looked left and right, but could not find his two swords. This made Bai Ya feel very uneasy, so he immediately stood up and prepared to find his weapon.
"boom!"
There was a sharp pain, which immediately caused Bai Ya to curse. You shouldn't hold your back so straight. He lowered his head slightly, covered his aching head, and arched his back deeper than usual. I didn't hear any reply just now. It might be very big here. It was a... it should be a cave, he tentatively thought. The air was very humid, and there might be some smell that he could originally identify, but he had been unconscious for so long that he was used to that smell.
Before it was... before it was the sea.
As he bent forward slowly and groping in the darkness, he recalled the last thing he saw. The good news is that he has not lost his memory, and Luowu's hateful face is clearer than anyone else in his memory. He jumped from the cliff to get the sword inlaid with blue amber... It seems to be the case, but it doesn't seem to be the case. The meaning of such an action is not that. He touched his cheek subconsciously, and there was something sticky. When he stretched his hand out in front of him, he couldn't see anything - it was too dark here, and any gleam of unknown origin was a luxury. Bai Ya wiped off the sticky stuff on his face. Was it mud or algae? He touched it with his hand again and felt a thin, light blood scab. Has the wound healed?
He took a few steps and felt that his body's coordination was pretty good. It seemed that the influence of the poison had temporarily subsided - although it was not clear whether it was poison or what kind of poison it was. It would be nice if Liu Shenghan was here.
He glanced back, unsure of how far he'd gone. However, he saw some subtle light on the ground behind him. Based on the reflection angle of the light, he turned around and roughly judged the direction of the light source. So he continued to walk forward, never daring to raise his head. The place where I hit it before still hurts.
This is not the sea. Since water stains can be found, this is naturally not the water. Or to put it in simpler reasoning: I can still breathe now. He guessed that he might have been saved by someone. Could this be a cave under the cliff? It's too deep, not to mention how could anyone live in a place like this?
Bai Ya thought again that he and his father had heard an interesting story somewhere. It roughly means that a person drank too much and was lying on the riverside trying to get some water to sober up. As a result, he lost his footing and fell into the river. He was lucky enough to face up and be slightly chubby. He was lifted up by the river and floated all the way down the river. He actually drifted to the next city in one night! He originally thought it was false, but his father said that no matter how bizarre the rumor was, it was possible. Did he drift from the sea to some island on the other side?
He shook his head. It's unlikely, my body is not considered fat, there is no extra fat to hold myself up. But maybe water as salty as the sea can be used? But no matter how calm the waves are, they are relative to the entire sea surface. How can I float safely without being choked by the water?
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat. He coughed several times, but still couldn't hear an echo - only the ups and downs feeling. He coughed up some water from his throat, which was larger than a sneeze. It must have been sea water. Sure enough, he still choked on a lot of sea water. Has the sea water been drained out? Bai Ya didn't know, he just felt his throat was thirsty. The sea is too salty.
Dragging his sore body, Bai Ya walked forward in confusion. He once thought that he was already dead. But he didn't see the black and white impermanence, and the bull-headed and horse-faced faces didn't show up. What the hell was this place?
There are traces of light ahead. But Bai Ya is not optimistic, he is not sure what it is. Moreover, it is said to be light, but it is just a different color compared to darkness, not bright at all. Not to mention the sun, even the brightness of the moon cannot reach it. He walked forward and gradually approached it, feeling that the scene in front of him was like a huge eye, the darkness above and below were its eyelids, and the unknown dark luster was the eyeball without a pupil. It seems to be flowing, it is alive.
etc……
Bai Ya squinted his eyes, and he seemed to see the "pupil" of this "eye", or... "eyelashes". A small shadow appeared there, right in the center. He quickened his pace and walked towards the shadow. Whether it's a person or something else, as long as it moves and is a living thing, it's exciting enough.
That's really a person!
He is sure. For some reason, Bai Ya's vision became very sensitive in the dark, and the black stones above and below may be their own color. It was clear to him that it was a person, a woman. It wasn't until he was closer that the woman took a few steps back.
They were very close, but Bai Ya wasn't sure how far away they were from the light source behind the woman. At least, he could see the woman clearly now. Even so, the other party can only be called a girl, maybe less than twenty years old. Bai Ya wasn't sure, but her figure and tender cheeks looked smaller than Aoyan and Shenghan. He didn't dare to guess the woman's age. After all, he had received an inexplicable slap because of this... although that was a long time ago. TXT bookstore
Bai Ya quickly examined the other person's appearance and guessed that there was a 10% chance that he was alive, a 10% chance that he was dead, and a 80% chance that he was dreaming.
This girl is...very special. He couldn't call it beautiful, nor did he think it was ugly, but he just felt it was very different. The first thing that attracted him was actually the long skirt on her body. Bai Ya had never seen such a skirt before. It was extremely simple. It was just a piece of cloth with no style at all. The skirt glowed with sparkling light, like the waves at dawn, as if in a dream. But although the hem of the skirt covered her feet and dragged to the ground, the upper part only covered her chest, which made Bai Ya's eyes wander when he saw it.
See no evil and see no evil – even though it means nothing.
The girl didn't run away or say anything, she still stood there. So Bai Ya had to try his best to avoid the parts that would make him look impolite. He looked at the girl's face. The girl's expression was not unfamiliar to him, neither fear nor joy, but a simple surprise. He didn't know the reason for the moment. All he knew was that the other person might not be a human being, but a monster he had never seen before. Because the girl's eyes are very large, exaggeratedly large, and the proportions are not like ordinary human eyes. In his whole life, he has only seen some monsters with such big eyes. And those eyes were green, like... some other animal, not human anyway. Her hair was long and stuck to her body like wet wool.
"you……"
Bai Ya stretched out his hand, wanting to hold her back and say something. He had to admit that this was a bad habit because it always made the other person think he was aggressive. So the girl showed a somewhat frightened expression and backed away. However, Bai Ya had more than this bad habit. His head-catching behavior made him instinctively take a step forward and try to catch her. The girl turned around and ran forward in an extremely weird posture, like a snake, but at a much slower speed. Just when Bai Ya was about to catch up with her, the girl suddenly jumped up and threw herself into the clear light above.
Bai Ya realized that it was water—sea water.
He didn't know how to describe it, but he was at the bottom of the sea. And the bottom is not water, but air. Where does the air come from? He didn't know clearly. He only knew that above this space, the water was suspended like a ceiling. There were no small ripples at all. It was as smooth as a mirror. There was not even a ripple when the girl blended into it. If Bai Ya stood up straight, his head would be wrapped in water. So he tried to reach out and soak his hand in it again, rocking it back and forth.
This familiar resistance was indeed the texture of water, but without any temperature, just like his skin. He originally thought that the water in the deep sea would appear colder, at least when he snatched the Poseidon Magical Artifact. He used the dim light to take a closer look at the other dry hand. The skin had no wrinkles. In other words, he stayed in the "vacuum" under the sea for a while.
He raised his head, looking for traces of the girl. Then he opened his mouth.
The clothes were gone—completely transparent, and he didn't know whether they had disappeared or not. Or is it that the wave-like long skirt will become transparent when it blends into the sea? But he didn't see the girl's legs, but a slender fish tail.
Yes, fish tail...
She is a shark.
Bai Ya has never seen a shark before. I have been wandering inland with my father all year round, and I have rarely heard of legends related to the sharks. He only knew that it was a race that lived in the sea, and could probably be regarded as a type of monster. What Bai Ya knew was that they had some magical power, weaving water into yarn and tears into beads. Besides, nothing is known.
Being so close, Bai Ya could see the connection between a human and a fish on her body. It was indeed a wonderful transition. Below her waist is a tail covered with fish scales, and from the waist up, the scales gradually become sparse, covering the neck less tightly until they disappear at the lower jaw. Further up, there is a face that is quite similar to a human. On this face, curious green eyes glanced at him from time to time. In the water, the fins on either side of her face spread out, where human ears would have been. The pair of fins, which were as blue as her tail, were small and flapped one by one, like a fish breathing through its gills.
Once he identified the other party's identity, his mentality was much calmer than before. At least, he was almost 100% sure that he was still alive. The girl had no intention of running away, but was just spinning and lingering in the "sky" near him. Her hair was completely spread out in the sea, long, curly, pale white, and as dense as the sea foam he saw when he fell. There is a little blue shimmer mixed in between. Is it the kind of algae on the sea?
Bai Ya took a deep breath, pushed hard, and threw himself into the water above. He went upstream, and the young shark hovered in front of him without leaving.
"You woke up...earlier than I expected."
She actually spoke, and Bai Ya was confused for a moment. He opened his mouth, let out a small stream of bubbles and then closed it immediately. The shark's voice was very soft, like a piece of fine silk, wrapping his face and sliding past his ears. It's just that the tone is a bit strange, like a barbarian who is not yet proficient in using Mandarin.
Seeing Bai Ya's doubts, she smiled awkwardly, looking apologetic.
