Summoner: Recognize Kain as the big brother at the beginning
Chapter 46: Outburst in Despair
The journey was too quiet, and Yuxi seemed to find something strange.
Those demons seemed to only besiege the city, and there was not even a trace of them in the desert.
During the quiet journey, Xuan Ce's liveliness and curiosity became the only embellishment. He sometimes whispered to himself and sometimes asked questions, breaking the silence.
Suddenly, Xuan Ce exclaimed in surprise, squatted down, and picked up a stone that looked like a bun from the fine sand.
"What is this?" he asked repeatedly, as if talking to himself.
Then a look of delight appeared on his face: "It looks like a bun!" he shouted excitedly.
Yuxi looked over and smiled, "Indeed, the shape of this stone is similar to a bun."
Xuan Ce's eyes sparkled with excitement, "This thing is so fun! I want to keep it and show it to my brother later!" He carefully hid the stone in his arms.
Soon, Xuan Ce made another discovery. He bent down again and picked up an object from the gravel.
"What is this?" he asked curiously.
Yuxi was a little confused this time, but Lanling Wang quickly recognized it and said, "This is an ancient gold ring."
Yuxi was filled with surprise. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Picking gold in the desert? This is too outrageous! This luck is simply unbelievable. I would even believe that he is the son of luck."
Xuan Ce was also very interested in this gold ring, "This must be very valuable! I want to leave it to my brother..." He hid the treasure in his arms again.
As they continued walking, Xuan Ce's energy seemed endless. Before long, he pulled out a cute little lizard-like creature from the sand.
"So cute!" He couldn't help but exclaim.
Yuxi looked at all this and sighed inwardly, "What kind of luck is this? This kind of luck is simply enviable!"
However, Xuan Ce's next move surprised them all. He took a bite of the little lizard's tail and tasted it.
Yuxi hurriedly reminded: "You can't eat it raw..."
But Xuan Ce said with great anticipation: "Then I will raise it and show it to my brother later!"
This scene suddenly reminded Yuxi of the Yingying monster from before. He had also had a piece of his wings bitten off by Xuan Ce. He quickly took out the Yingying monster and found that it was motionless.
"What happened?" Yuxi was filled with worry: "The Yingying monster is silent? Is it dead?" The Yingying monster curled up into a ball and didn't move.
He checked the Yingying monster over and over again for almost a quarter of an hour. Lanling Wang couldn't bear to watch it anymore and reminded him, "Don't look at it. Throw it away if it dies. It will stink if you keep it on your body."
But Yuxi firmly believed, "He couldn't be dead... He might be asleep."
In the end, he decided to put the Yingying monster back into his pocket, and Lanling King continued to lead them forward.
After a while of trekking, a yellowish-brown building finally appeared in front of the three people.
Yuxi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this your house?"
Lanling Wang nodded slightly and responded: "Yes~, this is where I live."
Baili Xuance stared at the house excitedly and exclaimed, "What a lovely house!"
Lanling Wang smiled slightly, but with a hint of mystery: "Cute? Haha~, you will soon understand its true face."
Yuxi frowned in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Lanling Wang pointed to the distance and said: "Do you hear that? That's the sound of the water in the Moon Eye Sea."
Yuxi listened carefully and indeed heard the sound of water, but it was mixed with an indescribable whistling sound.
Baili Xuance also said seriously: "Xuance also heard it. Xuance really wants to drink some water~"
Lanling Wang gestured, "Behind that sand dune is the Moon Eye Sea. If you want some water, go there by yourself. There is a Demon Seed Cave here, where demons often appear."
Yuxi asked curiously: "Demon Seed Cave? What is that place?"
Lanling Wang explained: "The Demon Seed Cave is where the demons gather. I live here. Although it is dangerous, no one dares to invade."
Yuxi couldn't help but worry: "You live near the Demon Seed Cave, don't you think it's dangerous?"
Lanling Wang smiled faintly, showing his confidence and heroism: "Danger? Humph~ Seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, that is only the instinct of the weak. I will stay here, even if I am not here, the horse thieves will not dare to break in."
Yuxi nodded to show her understanding, and then Lanling Wang ordered: "Go fetch some water and fill the bucket in front of the door. Then go find some food. I'm going to rest for a while. I haven't slept for four days."
Yuxi nodded and agreed: "Okay, go and have a rest."
Lanling Wang responded softly and turned to walk deeper into the house.
Baili Xuance approached Yuxi with some fear: "Yuxi, Xuance doesn't dare to go alone..."
Yuxi comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we'll go together. Bring a bucket and we'll go get some water."
But in his heart, he was secretly looking forward to it: "That's great, I can also take a look at the levels of those demon species. The demon species cave should be a good place to spawn monsters, and I can also complete some tasks by the way."
He said silently in his mind: "System, open the map bar and check my location."
The map bar responded quickly, marking his current location.
Yuxi thought to herself, "It's very close to the Great Wall. Let's stay here for a while and then explore the Great Wall."
Baili Xuance came over with a bucket of water: "Yuxi, I brought the bucket. Let's go!"
Yuxi took the bucket from Xuan Ce without hesitation and headed towards the sand dunes.
After crossing the sand dunes, the view suddenly opens up to a turquoise lake. The lake is sparkling and surrounded by bushes, like a hidden oasis in the desert.
Yuxi gently scooped up some lake water and tasted it, with a look of delight on her face: "It's actually fresh water." Her eyes were full of curiosity: "Why is this lake called the Moon Eye Sea?"
He scooped up the lake water again and tasted it, then Xuan Ce couldn't wait to bend down and drink it, as if he had never seen such a clear lake. His expression was exaggerated and satisfied.
"Wow! There is so much water!" Xuan Ce shouted excitedly, "If my brother were here, he would be very happy..."
Yuxi frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Are there no lakes near where you live?"
Xuan Ce replied: "No."
Xuan Ce went on to say, "Where my brother and I live there is only one well, and we have to fetch water from the well every day to drink."
A hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, "I really hope my brother can settle here..."
Yuxi thought to herself, "Hahahaha, wouldn't Lanling Wang be so pissed if he knew about this... I finally managed to avoid the crowds and find a place to live near the Demon Seed Cave, and now I have an extra neighbor."
However, Xuan Ce's mood suddenly changed. He hit the water hard and said with gritted teeth: "Brother is a liar! He broke the promise with mother!"
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he choked and said, "I hate him so much! I will only forgive him if he finds me..."
Yuxi felt a headache when she saw Xuan Ce crying.
He tried to comfort her: "Don't cry, your brother is probably looking for you everywhere. If you keep crying, your eyes will be damaged and you won't be able to see your brother anymore."
Xuan Ce tried hard to hold back his tears and answered with a choked voice: "Well..."
Seeing this, Yuxi decided to do his business first. He took out a bucket and sank it into the lake to get water.
However, when the bucket was filled with water, he found that he could not lift the bucket.
He thought to himself: "Isn't it because I haven't eaten for too long that I have no strength..."
At this moment, Xuan Ce offered to help: "I'll carry it with you."
Yuxi immediately refused: "No, it's just a bucket of water. Even if I haven't eaten, I can't afford to carry a bucket of water!"
He tried his best to pull the bucket up, but was unexpectedly dragged into the water by a strong force.
"Uh... ugh——"
Yuxi struggled to float to the surface, but felt a powerful force pulling him under the water.
Seeing this, Xuan Ce hurriedly reached out to pull Yuxi, but he accidentally rolled to the edge of the lake.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed a seaweed on the shore when half of his body rolled into the water.
"Help...Help! I can't swim--"
Xuan Ce shouted in panic: "Master...Master, help me--" He struggled and shouted for help.
At this time, Yuxi was already submerged in water and had difficulty breathing.
He held his breath and pinched his nose to prevent himself from inhaling too much water, and forced his eyes open in the water.
As soon as I could see, I heard the system's voice:
Ding - Water Shark
A mid-level demon, half human, half fish, with human features. Often roams in lakes, very fast. Good at underwater sneak attacks with sharp claws and fangs. Very intelligent, naive and cruel by nature. Sour taste, greedy without reason. Omnivorous, edible. Can be tamed.
Level: 70. Kills give a lot of experience.
"It's actually edible when it looks like this?" Yuxi murmured to himself, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"It can be tamed..." He continued to think, as if imagining the scene after taming the mermaid.
"Then what's wrong with that?" Yuxi felt an urge to explore the unknown.
Suddenly, the voice of Mizusawa interrupted his thoughts.
"hello--"
"Play with me——"
Yuxi was stunned. She had never expected that this mermaid could not only speak, but also seemed to have a strange ability.
The mermaid's voice was shrill and piercing, making Yuxi feel uncomfortable.
He was about to respond but was interrupted by a few bubbles, followed by a gulp of water.
"Ignore me——"
"Then I'm going to eat you—!"
The mermaid's face suddenly became ferocious, and she bared her teeth at Yuxi with a terrifying smile.
Yuxi was startled and quickly used [Flash] to narrowly avoid the mermaid's attack.
The pressure in the water was too great, and Yuxi struggled to pull out the knife on her back.
He swung his sword and created a snow-white blade of light, which stood out particularly in the dark bottom of the lake.
The mermaid dodged the light blade as flexibly as a snake and swam towards Yuxi with a sinister smile.
Yuxi couldn't help but slash out a few more light blades, but the mermaid's speed didn't slow down at all.
"Come and play with me--" the mermaid's voice sounded again.
Yuxi was annoyed: "Do you think I'd risk my life to play with you?"
He used the skill [Stun] again but found it seemed to be completely ineffective in the water, which made Yuxi feel a little desperate.
"This is a bullshit dizziness! It's ineffective against objects in the air, and it's also ineffective in the water?" Yuxi cursed in her heart.
"What's the use of you!" he thought angrily.
"I can't take it anymore... I need to breathe... I'll suffocate if I continue like this..." Yuxi realized that her situation was very dangerous.
He immediately used [Flash] to try to escape from the water, but he found that he could only jump repeatedly on the mud at the bottom of the water and could not reach the shore.
Ding—it’s only 8 meters away from the water surface, but 10 meters away from the shore. Yuxi’s flash skill cannot cover such a distance.
"Then why can't I flash to the surface of the water!" Yuxi thought anxiously.
Ding - No place to stay
Yuxi finally had a great enlightenment.
"Alas... I must have a place to stay..."
He tried to swim towards the surface, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his calf. Looking down, he saw the mermaid biting his leg and shaking its head left and right, tearing the flesh apart.
"Fuck you!" Yuxi was furious and swung his knife to chop off the mermaid's head, but the resistance of the water made his movements extremely difficult.
The Mizusaurus easily dodged his attacks and continued to take bites of his flesh.
Yuxi felt that his physical strength was rapidly draining away. He endured the bite of the mermaid and silently recited the name of the skill, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
However, as time went by, Yuxi's injuries became more and more serious, and he began to feel the pain of suffocation.
"It must be very uncomfortable--" Mizusawa's voice echoed in his ears.
"Don't die too quickly. I like to eat hot food." The words of the mermaid were full of cruelty.
Yuxi felt a strong sense of unwillingness and anger. He didn't want to be tortured to death by a mermaid.
Suddenly, a powerful force surged in his heart, pushing him to resist.
Yuxi suddenly opened his eyes, and the anger in his heart turned into a force of blood that filled his limbs, pushing him to strangle the mermaid's neck.
There was a sound of bones breaking, and the mermaid's throat was crushed by him.
The mermaid screamed and twitched its body, and died in an instant.
"Die! Hahahaha..."
However, his body was already exhausted and he was forced to gulp down a large gulp of water.
There was a blinding white light before his eyes, the air was gone, and he was about to sink to the bottom of the water.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed his collar, pulled him out of the water like an arrow and threw him onto the shore.
Yuxi lay on the sand like a dead fish, still tightly holding the body of the mermaid in her hands, refusing to let go.
