Normal humans cannot go to the deep sea to participate in the battle, so this time the only two humans who can follow Tayao to save King Tumi are Ling Hao and Tian Yong, plus the mermaid spirit Shui Lingxing, and hundreds of Tayao's personal guards. There were only more than sixty left, and this power was of no use on the frontal battlefield. It seemed relatively simple to save King Tumi's life, but it would be extremely difficult to reverse the situation.
On the seabed about 150 meters underwater, there are corpses of the Abyssal people scattered everywhere. Countless shrimps, crabs, small fish and other marine creatures are eating these mutilated remains wantonly. This is a battlefield, desolate and tragic. No matter whether it is the winning side or the losing side, no one comes to collect the corpses of these sacrificed soldiers, leaving them here to be eaten by fish and shrimps into bones.
The Abyss Clan respects the strong, but never sympathizes with the weak, let alone the dead. Ling Hao has no position to gossip about the values of other races, but his favorability towards the Abyss Clan has dropped a bit, although this race is probably better than humans. Races that are even older but ignore life are ultimately destined to perish because they no longer know what else they have to protect and sacrifice for.
At this moment, it was a break in the battle. Both sides returned to the city to have a truce. The guards guarding the city gate had seen Ling Hao and saw their princess coming back. They dared to stop him, so they gave way without saying a word. The city was cut off from the sea water. The salty air was still the same, but it had a hint of blood and rancid smell. The streets were empty, with only some young and female Abyss clan members still staying in their shacks.
The square in the center of the city is very lively at the moment. It seems to have become a huge field hospital. Countless injured Tumi City soldiers are treated here. The slightly injured are treated with a certain type of seaweed minced and mixed. Dark green paste ointment was applied to the wounds, and the treatment for the seriously injured was more violent. Those with broken arms and legs were cut off with sharp claws and then bandaged. Those who were seriously injured had their bodies piled outside the square, almost forming a pile. Put up a low wall. The roars and screams were endless, and dirty blood mixed with sewage flowed into small rivers. The pungent smell of blood made people almost nauseous.
"Who is in charge here?" Tu Yao grabbed a "doctor" who was treating someone's injury and asked.
The "doctor" first looked up and saw a group of huge white guards, and was frightened. When it saw Tu Yao holding it and Ling Hao and others beside it, it turned from surprise to joy and shouted: " His Highness is back, His Highness is back!" It didn't matter. This roar attracted the attention of half of the people in the square. A strong man from the Abyss clan ran from a distance, running towards Tu Yao. while waving.
Tu Yao then let go of the "doctor" and said to Ling Hao: "This is Tu Hai, the holy general of Tumi City. My father gave birth to me late. Although I am not old, I have a high seniority. This Tu Hai Although Hai is older than me by an unknown amount, he is a distant grandnephew of mine. He is extremely brave, and if my father is not included, his combat prowess ranks second in Tumi City."
Ling Hao glanced at her and said, "You must be the first one in the row?"
Tu Yao shook her head: "When I left home, I was a little girl with no fighting ability. How could I possibly be ranked? The first one was my father's guard chief Tu Ao. He was the only one in the entire Tumi City who could compete with Huxie. One who fights for a moment.”
A cold light flashed in Ling Hao's eyes: "Is this Huxie really that powerful?"
Tu Yao saw Ling Hao's eyes and said to him solemnly: "Leave Huxie to me, and I must end the hatred with him with my own hands."
While the two were talking, the strong Tu Hai ran over and started shouting like thunder. Although it was no different from a beast's roar in Ling Hao's ears, Tu Yao's face turned ugly after hearing this. She took the lead to walk towards King Tumi's palace, and Ling Hao and the others had to follow closely behind her.
Tu Yao said to Ling Hao while walking: "Tu Hai just said that the battle was very fierce between the two sides. Although Tumi City was at a disadvantage, Holy Light City also suffered heavy losses. When the fight was at its most intense, Huxie He asked for a duel with my father on the grounds that he did not want to see fellow warriors killing each other. This guy stood on the moral high ground, so my father could only agree. Although the name of King Tumi has been resounding for endless years, in fact he had already He is already very old, and his strength is not even 10% of what he was at his peak. How could he be the opponent of Huxie in his prime? After a fight, my father was seriously injured. Fortunately, Tuao saved him with his life, and he escaped with his life and hid in Tumi City. , while Huxie led his army to cover up the killing. The Tumi City army was severely defeated, and only less than 50,000 people fled into the city. My father is still in the palace, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, while Tuhai led his troops to defend to the death. The enemy couldn't break through the city gate for a while, so they went to try my best. Tu'ao and Tuhai wanted to help me, but they didn't have the ability. The remaining troops were the last ones in Tumi City. A glimmer of hope.”
The palace was eerily quiet. All the previous attendants were gone. Outside King Tumi's bedroom, only the warrior named Tuao was guarding there like a robot. Even when he saw Tayao, he didn't seem happy at all. mood.
Tu Yao didn't speak to Tu Yao, and pushed the door straight in. However, Tu Yao stretched out his claws and stopped Ling Hao who was following behind. Tu Yao turned around and glared at Tu Ao, and said coldly: "Ling Hao and Shui Lingxing are coming in with me. The others will wait here." Tu Ao then let Ling Hao in.
There are almost no furnishings in the bedroom. As a kind of arthropod-like existence, the Abyssal Clan does not have as many enjoyment needs as humans in life. King Tumi was lying on a stone bed. Rather than saying it was a stone bed, it was more appropriate to say it was a stone slab. There was no soft mattress and no fabric covering his body. It can be clearly seen that one of his arms has been torn off, and the fracture has been twisted into knots. You can imagine how painful it will be. The wound is covered with ointment. It is even more tragic if you look closely at the body. Many black shells are broken. , still oozing with traces of dirty blood, a "doctor" was carefully applying medicine all over his body.
The corners of Tayao's eyes twitched and turned a little red. She stretched out her trembling hand to hold King Tumi's remaining hand, but she hesitated when she reached out halfway, as if she was even more timid due to being close to home. , the past with her father was like a thorn in Tuyao's heart. It hurt when it was inserted, and even more painful when it was pulled out. She did not have the courage, and she did not know how to face it.
Just when Tayao was hesitating, King Tumi suddenly regained consciousness: "My daughter, are you back?" His voice was much older. The once powerful king seemed to have really become a man at this moment. An old man in his dying years.
Tu Yao seemed to have broken her guard all of a sudden. Seeing her father who had become like this, she could no longer suppress the feelings that had been hidden in her heart for many years. Tears burst out like a bursting dam, and she threw herself in front of the bed and cried bitterly.
"Silly boy, I can't die, why are you crying?" King Tumi laughed "hehe", his voice was like a broken bellows.
Today's Tayao's strength is bottomless. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a demigod. Naturally, she can see that King Tumi is only seriously injured, but there is no fear of his life. It is just this miserable appearance and the sadness of the hero's old age that make her feel sad. It's a little sad.
King Tumi stroked Tu Yao's head with his remaining hand and said with a smile: "You have finally returned to your original self, and the guilt in your heart as a father has also diminished a lot." Then he looked at the person behind Tu Yao. Ling Hao said: "Thank you, young master, for giving my daughter a new life. Please forgive me for being seriously injured and unable to salute and thank you."
Ling Hao complained in his heart, even though this old fox is like this, he still hasn't forgotten about acting. Now he has a young master on the left and a young master on the right. If he is unwilling to save or cannot save his daughter, I believe he will send him away as a young master without hesitation. Meet the ancestors. After thinking about it, Ling Hao still showed a sincere smile on his face and said: "Senior Tumi, you are so polite. Princess Tayao has her own destiny, so I am lucky enough to live up to my fate. Unexpectedly, before I had time to celebrate happily, another person appeared on the bottom of the sea. This happened."
"The way of heaven is cyclical. It flourishes and then declines, and whether it is prosperous or not, it is the way of conservation. Whether it is a clan or a dynasty, how can it last forever? The Abyss family has been multiplying for millions of years, and it was once very prosperous and almost perished. The disaster of genocide has been encountered several times. As long as the soul of the clan is immortal, the Abyss clan will continue to reproduce tenaciously even if there is only one village left." King Tumi said with emotion, and then The topic changed: "Back then, the Holy King defeated my Abyss clan alone in the Abyss of the Ancient Sea. Our clan and the Holy King established the sacred "Abyss Contract". Since then, we have followed the Holy King to conquer the world and rule the seven clans. To this day, Thinking about it still makes the old slave's blood boil. Later, a catastrophe fell from the sky, the earth subsided, and the Holy King's family withered. Fortunately, the long years could not destroy the blood of the Holy King. The old slave was lucky to meet the young master in his lifetime, and felt that the young master was willing to take the risk to save the old man. The slave's daughter is in the water and fire, whether it is ability, courage, or mind, she shows the style of her ancestors. God is so lucky, the remaining people of the seven tribes are so lucky, and this old slave is also so lucky..."
"Wait a minute, senior Tumi. If you have something to say, you may as well say it directly. This junior really cannot bear this kind of praise, and he feels even less at ease." Ling Hao really couldn't listen anymore. He knew what the other person wanted to say, but Unexpectedly, King Tumi did not use pleading, but flattery. Ling Hao hated this trick the most and directly interrupted him in the middle of his line.
King Tumi coughed twice in embarrassment: "Young Master, look at what I'm like now. Tumi City has lost its troops again. That boy in Huxie is so aggressive. If he really wins the war, with his personality, he will definitely win the war." He will kill all the old, weak, women and children in Tumi City, and my Ayao will not be able to escape his clutches. More importantly, he will also launch a war against mankind. Although his desire to exterminate mankind and occupy the land is a foolish dream, it will bring great consequences to mankind. Huge casualties are inevitable, and then the Abyss clan will face the annihilation attack of mankind. Can you not bear to watch this race that has been reproduced for tens of millions of years be pushed to eternal destruction?"
Ling Hao smiled bitterly: "Then do you think we humans can save Tumi City and even the Abyss Clan? What can I do against Huxie's hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"You are of the bloodline of the Holy King. Back then you were able to capture the violent A-Yao by yourself, and then obtained the Yin-Yang Dragon Ball to restore her to her previous appearance. I absolutely believe that you have the ability to save the Abyss Clan. Apart from you, We have no other hope." King Tumi said earnestly.
"Bang!" Shui Lingxing, who was standing next to Ling Hao, really couldn't listen anymore. "You are just treating a dead horse as a living doctor. Now that you see it, no matter whether Ling Hao has this ability or not, you have no better choice anyway. You can just trick him into selling his life for you. , you are the boss to make a profit, if you are like this anyway, the worst result is this, right?" Her words unceremoniously tore through the window paper, leaving King Tumi speechless for a moment.
"Father, you are trying to force others into a difficult situation. I am willing to go out on your behalf. No matter life or death, I will just accompany you." Tu Yao also felt a little blushing and began to persuade.
Ling Hao sighed: "The current situation, if Tumi City cannot win this war, I am afraid that our group will not be able to leave this space. Whether we like it or not, we have been tied to your chariot. , please give me the command of the remaining troops in the city, and let’s bet that Huxie is a stick in the use of troops.”
"Okay!" King Tumi sat up in excitement, regardless of his injuries, as if he was having a flashback before his death. "Tu Hai, Tu Ao, listen, from now on, I will hand over the command of all the troops and people in Tumi City to the young master. His orders are my orders."
After handing over the command, he looked at Tayao again and said: "Back then, my father signed the "Abyss Contract" with the Holy King, and he has served the Holy King all his life. Today, Ling Hao leads the soldiers and civilians of Tumi City for his father, and is the leader of the Abyss clan. Fighting in the future, as my daughter and the future patriarch of the Abyss clan, are you willing to sign the "Abyss Contract" with Ling Hao and lead the entire clan to be loyal to him in the future?"
"I do!" Tu Yao simply cut her white and tender palm with a knife, causing blood to flow profusely. "You gave me my new life. If I win this battle, I, Tu Yao, will lead the entire Abyss clan to be loyal to you; if I lose, Tu Yao will be willing to risk my life to protect you from this space." She looked at her with her burning eyes. Looking into Ling Hao's eyes, he grabbed one of Ling Hao's hands. The knife also cut his palm open, and the two bloody hands were tightly held together.
"Okay, this time it really depends on you!" Shui Lingxing rolled his eyes angrily and turned away angrily.
