Watermelon Shooter

Lin Xiaotian... Looking at the "Big Brother" submarine in front of me, after the purple smoke dissipated, the overwhelming golden barrage lit up again, my mouth was open for a long time without closing it.

It's not that I've never seen someone powerful, but I've never seen someone as powerful as this.

Apply Blue Whale, clean Zombie, and protect kelp, all in one go. The more I think about this operation, the more uncomfortable it feels, but I can't think about it at the moment.

Lin Xiaotian... Now I just want to get to know this person.

Even if you don't know him, you can just add him as a friend.

Even if you don't add friends, just ask for your name.

Even if you can't ask for your name, it's still good to leave an impression.

"Boss, can--"

Lin Xiaotian's "Can we meet each other" had just started, but before the remaining five words were spoken, he was choked back by the scene in front of him.

More than a dozen Seaweed Guard plants swam over from all parts of the defense line, like a green tide, surrounding the Lin Yue submarines in the middle.

Surrounded by the golden submarine, the blades were all pointing in the same direction - not toward the submarine, but toward a place deeper under the sea.

Seaweed Guards:━((′д`)yao(′д`))━

(Come with us! Come with us! There is something I want to show you! We have been guarding it for hundreds of years! If others don't show it, I will show it to you!)

Lin Yue... Looking at the eager and solemn looks of Seaweed Guard, I was a little confused.

These big green guys had been surrounding me and refused to move since just now, and now they were all pointing in the same direction, and their movements were as neat as if they were performing some kind of ceremony.

Lin Yue turned around and glanced at Lin Xiaotian's submarine - Lao Deng was still parked not far away, and the expression on the face behind the observation window was filled with "Why did you run away before I finished speaking?"

Lin Yue... I silently said to myself, Lao Deng, please wait a moment, and then followed the direction pointed by Seaweed Guard and asked Starfruit to adjust the direction of advancement.

The submarine sank slowly surrounded by kelp guards, who were always leading the way.

Then, I saw the ruins.

The first thing that appeared at the edge of the searchlight pole was a broken stone pillar.

Then came the second and third pillars - two complete stone pillars standing on a flat stone foundation, supporting a beam that had been split in half.

The style of the ruins does not belong to any architectural school that Lin Yue knows - it does not even look like the handiwork of a human being.

And in the center of the ruins, surrounded by gravel and stone pillars, there is a Space Gate.

It is suspended about half a meter above the sea floor. It is a perfect circular halo with a diameter that can allow a plant to pass through.

The edge of the halo exudes a faint blue light. The light is very weak, but it is particularly eye-catching in the darkness of the deep sea.

Lin Yue stared at Space Gate through the observation window and forgot to breathe for a moment.

Subconsciously, I counted the Seaweed Guards surrounding the ruins - there were at least thirty of them, more than those still fighting on the defense line.

They did not participate in the battle on the defensive line, but stayed here from beginning to end.

The four largest Seaweed Guard plants stand at the four corners of the ruins respectively. Their leaves are wider and longer than the ordinary Seaweed Guard plants, and are darker in color. Their stems are covered with criss-crossing white lines, like the marks of time.

They are ancient, silent, and they are the gatekeepers who have guarded this Space Gate for countless generations.

"The Seaweed Guard family is here to protect this thing?"

Lin Yue's voice was very soft, for fear of disturbing these old things.

The Seaweed Guard plant standing next to... the submarine didn't answer.

I couldn't answer in words - the blades were gently placed on the hull of the boat, very slowly and lightly.

"It" has guarded this place for most of its life, and today is the first time it has brought outsiders here.

An old Seaweed Guard slowly swam over from the edge of the ruins.

"It" is the largest Seaweed Guard Lin Yue has ever seen, nearly half taller than its other companions, but "it" has almost all its leaves, and only the last complete leaf is still hanging on the top of the stem.

"It"... swam very slowly, and every stroke of the blades seemed to use all its strength.

Other Seaweed Guard saw "it" coming and automatically moved out of the way.

He swam to the right in front of the Lin Yue observation window and stopped. On the face of that old seaweed, there was no excitement and enthusiasm of the young Seaweed Guard before, but only a kind of calmness that had accumulated for countless years.

With... the remaining leaf, he first pointed at Space Gate, then at the plants on the Lin Yue submarine, and finally raised a leaf tip - one.

(Only one can enter.)

The leaves of the old kelp made a few more movements, pointing at Space Gate and all the plants on the submarine.

Seaweed Guard:(???)

(This is a parting gift. We have kept it for many, many years, so long that we can no longer remember why we kept it in the first place.)

Lin Yue couldn't hear Seaweed Guard's language, but... understood those actions.

Lin Yue Before he could say anything, the plants in the submarine moved first.

They... seem to have understood.

Not because he understood the movements, but because he understood the language behind those movements, the petals of Power Lily opened slightly and swayed gently in the direction of Space Gate.

The plants began to whisper to each other, shaking their heads one after another.

Chomper:(`⌒'メ)

Chomper closed his big mouth. "I won't go. It's not delicious. If I don't go, I will leave the opportunity to the comrades who need it."

Toadstool: o('^`)o

Toadstool's cheeks were still bulging. It listened to Big Brother and just squeezed out a muffled sound from its throat, "+1."

Peashooter:|?з?).

Peashooter held up the military helmet on his head, and the rim of the helmet flashed a sharp reflection under the light. "This helmet is enough for me."

Puff-shroom:??>?<??

Puff-shroom They lined up neatly in a row, and the five mushroom caps jumped forward at the same time. The representative of the middle one spoke, "There are five mushrooms. The mushrooms are strong enough."

Magic-shroom:???

Magic-shroom raised the black top hat, and the expression on the mushroom cap rarely became serious. "Seniors have priority. Mushrooms are Gambler. Gambler don't steal other people's opportunities. This is the rule at the gambling table."

The four Starfruit plants were spinning at a constant speed. When they heard the words of Magic-shroom, they made a unanimous decision at the same time. "+1."

Bok Choy lowered his head... and looked at his fists.

He put his hands behind his back and stood at the end of the team. His voice was low but steady. "You don't need to... practice your boxing skills on your own."

Oxygen Algae:(.-. o)... Algae only consider oxygen supply.

All the plants expressed their stance, then turned their heads in unison and looked at the silent figure.

Snow Pea stood there, the blue muzzle hanging slightly downward.

It hasn't spoken, shaken its head, or retreated since just now.

Just standing there, looking at the faint blue halo outside the observation window, the thin layer of frost condensed on the mouth of the gun barrel was glowing slightly.

Snow Pea took a step forward.

It gently touched the edge of Peashooter's military helmet with its cannon barrel - that was their unique way of greeting - and then nodded to the other plants one by one.

Finally, it turned around and faced Lin Yue. The barrel was slightly raised. In its small eyes shrouded in ice-blue light, there was no hesitation or impulse, only a quiet and determined desire.

Snow Pea:(.ì _ í.)... I want to become stronger.

Chapter 79 Water Drop Shooter

The following...Snow Pea's monologue--

It... is just an ordinary Snow Pea.

From the day it was planted, I knew this clearly.

The damage is not high - incomparable to Peashooter.

At the bottom of the sea... we stayed on the right side of the submarine, but facing Zombie, we could only rely on Bok Choy...

Bok Choy... can beat Zombie flat, Starfruit can also shoot Zombie into a sieve.

The credit belongs to them, "it" is just a deceleration pendant.

Previously, it was because of the passive--Chance Freeze.

It... was happy for a whole day, feeling that it was finally no longer the waste that only slowed down. Although the probability of freezing was not high, freezing was freezing, a qualitative change, and a leap from assistance to control.

But in actual combat, it was gradually discovered that it was of too little use... even if there were a little more Zombie, there was no way to deal with it.

We can only rely on the sacrifice of Potato Mine, or the help of Cattail Cat.

Under the sea... watching Bok Choy help it, the barrel is slightly hot - that is a sign of overheating after continuous shooting. A Snow Pea, the barrel is hot, how ironic!

It can only hide behind.

No, it's not a must, it's a must.

Hiding behind, hiding behind Starfruit, hiding behind Bok Choy.

When Peashooter's military helmet reflected light, it felt that the light was so dazzling.

It has no helmet, only a thin barrel and the Ice which is not strong enough.

It's not afraid of Zombie.

What I'm afraid of is... something else.

I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with "Lin Yue".

Lin Yue--the human being who has been with it since it was a seed, programmed passives for it, and racked his brains at the panel for countless late nights just to make them better.

Lin Yue... never said "Why didn't you freeze again?", but after the battle, he squatted down and touched its barrel and said, "It's okay, the probability will be on your side next time."

Snow Pea is not a fool. He knows that the other party is trying to comfort it and that his own ability is too weak.

It... doesn't want to be the weak one who is always comforted, it wants to be the strong one who is relied on.

What I'm even more afraid of is being abandoned.

It... I have seen Lin Yue exchange for new plants, and those more powerful, rarer, and more efficient plants have joined the team one after another.

Everyone is so strong.

And what about yourself?

A slowing ice bullet, a Chance Freeze passive, and Snow Pea which is increasingly insufficient.

If one day, Lin Yue needs to make room for stronger plants, who will be the first to be replaced?

"It" doesn't dare to think about this problem, but it can't help but think about it.

After the battle every day, when all the plants were resting, it stood there silently without speaking, thinking - tomorrow, tomorrow we must freeze more Zombie.

But... tomorrow comes too quickly, and its speed of getting stronger is too slow.

So... when the old kelp pointed at Space Gate and said, "Only one can go in," it... stood up.

Not because... it feels that it deserves this opportunity more than other plants, but because it knows that if it doesn't seize this opportunity, it will have no chance.

Snow Pea... I don't want to let this go.

To become stronger, no matter what the cost.

Lin Yue stood in front of the observation window and watched Snow Pea step into the Space Gate.

The faint blue halo trembled slightly after swallowing up the little blue guy, and returned to calm.

Who doesn't know what is behind Space Gate - it may be a trial ground in the ice and snow, it may be a bottomless sea of consciousness, it may be anything.

Lin Yue... I don't even know if Snow Pea can come back.

But Snow Pea wants to go.

Lin Yue... Then support it.

Don't ask for reasons, don't ask for return date, don't ask for price.

The entrance of the Secret Realm closed silently behind it, isolating the darkness and cold of the deep sea.

Snow Pea stood on an unfamiliar ground, all the blades on his body tightened in the same second.
