After the Full-Level Boss Entered the Infinite Game By Mistake

Chapter 35.2 - Deep Sea Mermaid



Chapter 35.2 - Deep Sea Mermaid



Only Bai Lixin and Green Hair were left in the sea area.


Oh, and the split turtle Bai Lixin had tied up in a bag.


Green Hair looked very cramped being alone with Bai Lixin. He glanced at him and stammered, “Let’s go, let’s go.”


Bai Lixin had swum out for two meters when he asked, “What does an angelfish look like?”


He was staring aimlessly at the glowing white sea, not even sure if the angelfish floats in the sea or lies in the sand.


As his eyes swept over the area, he saw the sand in front of him move and a long, thin, white tail peeked out from it.


Bai Lixin’s hand quickly reached out and yanked on the tail. The creature didn’t expect to be caught, and it pawed hard at the sand, tossing and turning to reveal two white claws and many ridges.


Green Hair turned his head away from Bai Lixin with some embarrassment.


It was strange. He thought Bai Lixin was ugly as hell when they first met, but now, the more he looked, the more good-looking Bai Lixin became. Even after being rejected, he still wanted to look at him. It was like there was a halo around this little merman.


“Oh, the angelfish, well, they’re quite beautiful. The body is white.”


Bai Lixin looked at the lively little thing in his hand.


It was white.


“It has a long, thin tail with four tiny claws and big eyes.”


Bai Lixin had yanked the little thing out with one force, and the little thing was now hanging upside down, blinking its big, watery eyes at Bai Lixin.


A long, thin tail, four claws, and big eyes.


“It also has two pairs of translucent fleshy wings, which are very powerful. It is because of those wings that it moves so fast.”


A pair of wings suddenly spread out from the milky white back.


Bai Lixin: “……”


All his previous bad luck couldn’t have been saved up for this moment now, could it? His luck value had suddenly reversed two levels today?


Green Hair kept talking, “Angelfish are not easy to catch. Those little things are very resourceful, so we have to be prepared for an all-nighter. Last time, we searched here for two days to catch an angelfish and…”


As he spoke, Green Hair turned back as the voice came to an abrupt halt.


Green Hair stared blankly at the angelfish in Bai Lixin’s hand. “This…what’s this?”


Bai Lixin, “Yeah, what’s this…”


The angelfish’s wings suddenly fluttered back and forth, and Bai Lixin was yanked by a strong force that made his body shoot forward.


Green Hair was still in shock, and Bai Lixin didn’t expect the angelfish to be so strong.


Before either of them could react, Bai Lixin was dragged straight forward for ten meters, and directly into the Western Sea area.


A chilling cold instantly hit his whole body.


And the next moment, several huge eyeballs appeared in front of Bai Lixin at the same time.


Green hair had already chased after him, shouting as he did so, “Bai Lixin, are you alright…”


By the time he could see what was in front of him, the green had faded clean from his body.


Shit! Why was the Hundred-Eyed Monster in the Western Sea area!


Didn’t it like the warm South Sea area?!


No, it isn’t a matter of why it appeared now.


They’d stumbled upon the Hundred-Eyed Monster!!!


Help! It’s over!


More than thirty barbed spikes with the heads of mermen dangled from the sides of the Hundred-Eyed monster’s body. The mermen’ eyes were wide open, and their already horrible faces turned hideous because of fear.


Hundreds of black tubular tentacles tossed in the sea, waving merrily in the water.


Bai Lixin also finally got a thorough look at the full face of the thing.


The creature was more than twice the size of the Lantern beast, and they were like two tiny ants in front of it.


It was pitch black and covered with a hard skin similar to shark skin.


The body was pike-shaped, wide at the front and narrow at the back, with uneven teeth hidden in the pike shape.


The black tentacles with eyes and the steel spines from which the mermen hung were spread out like hair on the head of the Hundred-eyed monster.


Green Hair’s face was pale, but he had already shielded Bai Lixin behind him, and he spoke in a trembling voice: “I’ll..I’ll cover you. You go quickly. The Hundred-Eyed monster’s eyesight is not good, I’ll move to distract its attention, and you take the opportunity to leave.”


Green Hair was about to move when Bai Lixin pulled him back, “Wait, something isn’t quite right. Look again.”


Green Hair stiffened and shivered as he looked at the Hundred-Eyed Monster before him.


Just when he thought the Hundred-Eyed Monster was about to attack him, the Hundred-Eyed Monster withdrew its eyes and continued to move forward without the slightest intention of stopping.


“What’s going on here?”


Instead, Bai Lixin’s eyes were placed on the sea sand beneath the Hundred-Eyed Monster.


Deep in the sea sand, something was rustling and moving.


Bai Lixin slapped the still struggling angelfish unconscious and shoved it into Green Hair’s hands.


Then he unhurriedly brought over the sharkskin bag he had been carrying with him and opened it to reveal the split turtle he had tied up.


On seeing it, Green Hair’s pupils shrank suddenly, “What is this? It’s even uglier than you.”


Bai Lixin: “……”


I don’t want to talk!


The split turtle that had been playing dead seemed to sense the scent of its companion. It slowly woke up from his fake death and began to break free from the restraints on its body, manipulating its claws and tail to try to join its companion.


Bai Lixin looked at the split turtle he had tied up and realized that its body had shrunk by a fraction from when he had caught it earlier.


However, Dijia’s seaweed was not so easy to break free of, and the split turtle struggled for a long time without any success.


Bai Lixin stuffed the split turtle back into the dark sharkskin bag again.


Split turtle: “……”


Let me out! I want to eat!


It was obvious that this overbearing Hundred-Eyed monster, which once reigned over the South Sea area, was also being targeted by the split turtle.


Bai Lixin, “I’ll go after it and check it out. You take the angelfish and go back to rendezvous with your companions to catch the electric eel monster first. I’ll meet up with you guys afterwards.”


Green Hair looked at the dazed angelfish in his hand and then at Bai Lixin, “Are you crazy? That’s a Hundred-Eyed monster. Let’s quickly get out of here together.”


Bai Lixin, “I’m not. Didn’t I tell you that the God of the Sea sent me down to find the cause of the abnormality in the seas? Well, I’ve found a clue now, and I’ll be fine. We’ll split up, and I hope you’ll have caught the electric eel monster by the time I get back.”


Green Hair was a little anxious as he looked at Bai Lixin’s insistence. 


He didn’t want Bai Lixin to be in danger, but if Bai Lixin really had to go, he would have preferred to go along in order to protect him.


But Bai Lixin had asked him to catch the electric eel monster.


It was Bai Lixin’s request, and for the mermaid he owes a favor. The request was as important as the protection.


It was a difficult choice.


Seeing Green Hair stay still, Bai Lixin continued, “Hurry up. I want to see the electric eel monster’s tendons when I return. You don’t need my help with that, do you?”


Green Hair exploded.


Calling him incompetent? How could he stand that?


Without looking back, Green Hair hurriedly left.


Bai Lixin: “……”


The trick worked really well!


He didn’t want Green Hair to follow him. What if the Hundred-eyed monster fell to the ground on the way and couldn’t get up, and the split turtles then targeted Green Hair after swarming it? After all, he was one of the victims now. He had become a target while watching the eating scene.


Bai Lixin took the balled-up split turtle into his hand and swam his body towards the front.


He had sensed the same when they were hiding from the Hundred-Eyed monster in the sand earlier.


The Hundred-Eyed monster’s eyes were bloodshot, which was a sign that it was already at the point of exhaustion.


When he locked eyes with more of the Hundred-Eyed Monster’s eyes, he noticed they all had a dull gaze.


A creature that lived in the heat but forced itself to go to the cold zone was even more frightening than a creature in the cold zone entering the hot zone.


It was simply suicidal.


The cold would freeze its body, and it would not do such a thing if it had any sense left in it.


The hundred-eyed monster shook its bulky body and slowly moved forward.


A short distance ahead was a huge iceberg.


The dull monster didn’t even dodge, it just crashed straight into it.


The huge body plunged to the bottom of the sea, raising countless grains of sea sand.


The heads, which had been stuck on the spikes, also fell off because of the shaking.


The heads rolled several times on the sea sand before scattering in all directions.


One of the heads rolled beneath Bai Lixin, and before he could back away, a split turtle immediately burst out of the sea sand and gnawed on the head.


As it gnawed on the head and skull, it made a crisp “click, click, click” sound, and Bai Lixin’s scalp tingle as he watched the bloodless tongue wiggle in the split turtle’s mouth.


Bai Lixin: “……”


I have to say that although I have seen the split turtle eat twice, it is still just as shocking as the first time.


The split turtle’s ability to eat was powerful. It finished eating the head and then joined the hordes to feast on the Hundred-Eyed monster.


Who would have thought that the once fearsome overlord of the South Sea area, who terrorized all merfolk, would just become a mere minion in the face of the split turtles?


All the way from the South Sea to the West Sea, it seemed that the split turtles had spread across the South and West Seas.


Bai Lixin wondered if the relatively safe East Sea had any split turtles in it. If they appear in the East Sea as well, then it would not be long for such creatures to appear in the Middle Sea area.


These split turtles were invincible, and those merfolk would be no match for them.


He had received favors from them after entering this copy, and he now had to find a way to help them as well.


Bai Lixin hovered in the water, quietly watching the split turtles finish their meal.


This time, the split turtle’s eating speed was slower than the two times in the Northern Sea Area.


Was it because this was a cold area? Was the cold making their bodies stiff?


When the split turtles finished gnawing, they looked around, dug into the sea sand in unison, and then their bodies spun in unison to face Bai Lixin.


Bai Lixin: “……”


One was enough; there was no need to make such a fuss.


Where Bai Lixin could not see, Dijia’s black shadow shrank into a small dot and finally disappeared.


The split turtles that had been staring at Bai Lixin immediately wandered around like headless flies, seemingly having lost interest in Bai Lixin. Their bodies opened up to feel the sea for a moment, and then they turned in one direction at the same time.


After finding their target, the split turtles plunged headlong into the sand and set off in a vast array of directions.


Bai Lixin wondered what had just happened to the split turtles, but followed their lead.


A small black dot appeared on his spine where he could not see. Then, with the black dot as the center, a pair of butterfly wings that were ready to fly slowly spread out and appeared on his back.


Bai Lixin followed the split turtles from behind as they wandered for a while before finding their next target.


A trembling, giant sea lion-shaped monster.


The creature was covered in thick fleece and was over forty meters long. Bai Lixin noticed that the fur on its chin had turned white and its body had folds of varying degrees.


This was a very old sea lion type monster.


It trembled and shook its body, and it fell to the ground before it could go very far. The split turtles didn’t even hesitate as they once again ate up their meal.


Bai Lixin looked at the split turtles thoughtfully, then turned his head and left.


As he passed by the iceberg, Bai Lixin took out the split turtle and placed it on the iceberg.


The split turtle struggled for a while.


The iceberg had spread up from the bottom of the sea, and as soon as the split turtle got close, its whole body was wrapped in a thick layer of ice, and it was frozen solidly inside.


In his mind, there was no system kill alert; the split turtle was simply frozen.


But that was enough. The freezing would restrict the split turtle’s movement.


This meant that the split turtles were not invincible. They were also a product of the world and would always be constrained by it.


They weren’t immortal, it’s just that no one had found a way to kill them yet.


Bai Lixin set off towards the South Sea area while avoiding the giant sea monsters in the Western Sea area .


In his mind, he asked S419M: [S419M, do you remember when we saw the Lonely God who was attacked by the split turtles?]


S419M: [Of course I remember, Lord Host, what is it?]


Bai Lixin: [I remember you saying at the time that it was very old.]


S419M: [Yes, the Lonely God was an old god, which was why it was in such a sorry state as the split turtles pursued it.]


Bai Lixin: [What about that hundred-eyed monster just now, is it old too? I remember the fat merman saying that those mermen would have lived out their lives in peace long ago if they were still alive. From that, the hundred-eyed monster should not be too young.]


S419M: [Yes Lord host. I scanned it and that hundred-eyed monster had already entered its old age.]


Bai Lixin: [And the sea lion-like monster just now; it’s also very old.]


S419M: [You mean that the targets of the split turtle are all old creatures?]


Bai Lixin: [Not necessarily. The worm was the inner core of that ball of flesh, but that worm looked fit as a fiddle. And as you saw, the split turtle didn’t even spare the heads that had been long dead. My guess is that their quest is probably for the smell of decay.]


[To be more subtle, it’s “death energy.” Dead or dying beings attract their attention, and they feed on rotting flesh.]


[The ball of flesh was targeted because of the pile of flesh on its body. That pile of flesh was the protective layer of that little worm, but that pile of flesh was also made up of carrion, so it was targeted by the split turtles.]


S419M suddenly squeaked: [Then the split turtle in your hand targeted you, and those split turtles suddenly turned on you in unison just now. Is it because you? Lord host… this can’t be!]


Bai Lixin laughed dryly: [Maybe it’s just because my luck value is F-]


S419M: [……]


It was hard to disagree with that statement.


Bai Lixin carried the frozen split turtle to the warm water area. The slightly warm water wrapped around the cold ice, the ice around the split turtle quickly melted and blended into the sea water.


Bai Lixin watched as it shook its paws and braced itself.


It was a tenacious creature.


The sea area was wide, so he tilted his head and sent out a sound wave, hoping that the other mermen would hear it.


It didn’t take long for him to receive a response.


The same sound floated from the depths of the South Sea area, only that it was a little rushed and must have been sent in a panic.


Bai Lixin stuffed the split turtle into his bag and swam in the direction of the sound wave.


He swam as fast as a shooting star and arrived in the middle of the South Sea area in minutes.


There, several mermen had gathered around a fishing net, and in the middle of the net was a black ribbon-shaped creature that was tossing violently!
