The sound of bones cracking echoed through the air.
This seemingly casual blow actually cracked countless fissures in the opponent's skull, rendering them almost powerless to resist.
Hera retracted her hand, squatted down, and looked straight at the ugly yet somewhat honest monster in front of her.
She stretched out her arm and held it directly to its mouth.
"Take a bite."
Heidai rolled his eyes, revealing a look of confusion.
"Take a bite."
Hela repeated, her tone devoid of the slightest impatience, like a machine.
Heidai couldn't care less about anything else at this point, and opened its huge mouth to bite down on the white hand that looked like a toothpick.
A loud bang caused ripples to spread across the surrounding seawater.
But Hela's arms, as strong as steel, forced a slit between her enormous lips.
Heidai stared in horror at the tiny figure in front of him, fear instantly taking over his mind.
Hela calmly withdrew her arm and gently patted the other person's head.
The white bracelet on her wrist shimmered with a distorted blue light under the illumination.
Despite the excruciating pain in his body, Heidai was about to get up and escape when he was cleaved into three pieces by two water blades that descended from the sky.
Hela turned her beautiful eyes slightly and saw a huge Sea Shark Dragon swimming towards her.
Her fair skin seemed to come alive, slowly absorbing the necklace and bracelet from her wrist and neck into her body.
Those blood-red eyes regained their luster.
She blinked her big eyes and looked around in confusion.
When Hela saw those unseeing, lifeless eyes, she screamed in terror and collapsed to the ground, retreating backward.
"Dead."
The Sea Shark Dragon, having transformed into human form, landed next to Hela with a somewhat speechless expression.
Hela glanced at him and quickly moved to his side.
"..."
Sea Shark Dragon looked at the corpse floating in the water, then turned to look at the destroyed room and the three Sea Herring that looked terrified.
The Sea Herring also transformed into human form and gratefully swam to the two of them.
"Thank you, guardian! Thank you, big sister!"
The little Sea Herring thanked us in a childish voice.
Sea Shark Dragon turned its head away, slightly taken aback.
"It's nothing, it's what we should do."
Seeing the other person run over to hug her, she suddenly felt a little flustered and moved back a bit.
Hela quickly hugged the child to avoid embarrassing him.
"Yes, we really have to thank the guardian brother, otherwise even my sister would have been in danger."
Hela patted the other's fluffy little head.
"Oh, by the way, sister, do you know what's wrong with Heidai? Why did it suddenly bite us?"
Nestled in Hela's arms, the little fishman suddenly asked, his large, watery eyes looking utterly pitiful.
Hela immediately realized what "Heidai " meant, but could only shake her head slightly in self-reproach.
"Um... I'm sorry, my sister doesn't know either."
"Oh..." The little fishman lowered his head and glanced at Heidai, who had been with him for many years but was now dead, his eyes filled with unconcealed sorrow.
What's unusual about this fish?
Sea Shark Dragon suddenly asked the couple in a cold tone. The two were taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, they answered.
" Heidai, it had already settled here before Yuyu was even born."
They're usually very docile, eating only small fish and shrimp, and sometimes they even bring us food.
"But just now, I don't know what happened, it acted like it went crazy and tried to break into our house."
He was muttering things like, "Hungry... so hungry..."
Sea Shark Dragon stroked his chin and lowered his head slightly. Even though he was always being scolded by Spirit Shark for not being smart, he realized that something was very wrong.
"Hey, surface dweller, were those wounds on this eel already there?"
Hela put down the little fishman in her arms and nodded affirmatively.
"Although I didn't pay much attention, it was definitely there from the beginning."
Hela then seemed unable to comprehend anything.
"Could Heidai have been attacked by some other creature, which is why it went mad?"
"I initially thought so too, but isn't this number a bit too much?"
"Too... too much?" Hela covered her mouth in surprise; this didn't seem like a simple matter!
"So far, at least ten have been discovered, and they are all in almost the exact same condition, covered in wounds and in a frenzy."
"This has never happened before."
He exhaled a deep breath of water. "Forget it, let's not talk about that now. Surface Man, what's your name?"
"I... I'm called Hela," Hela replied.
" Hela..." he repeated softly, looking at Hela, "I've remembered your name. My name is Armor Shark. I acknowledge you."
"Oh, thank you..."
Hela nodded blankly, then seemed to wake up from a dream and came to her senses.
He accepted himself!!!
Hela beamed with joy; so quickly, she had already accomplished one-third of her goal.
It seems that becoming a guardian won't be long.
"Alright, Hela, there's nothing you can do to help with what happens next. You should go home and take refuge."
After saying that, he transformed into Sea Shark Dragon and continued to stop the group of crazed beasts.
Hela stood there for a long time.
In the end, she still swam towards Tang Tang's house from the bottom of her heart.
A large group of strange beasts went berserk, their bodies covered in wounds; nothing seemed right.
Covered in scars...
If we exclude the possibility that they were fighting each other, then they must have been attacked by something.
This thing must be incredibly powerful; after all, it's impossible for something weak to inflict such severe damage on so many beasts.
Could something strange have gotten into the Ocean World?
Hela thought about it more and more and it made more sense, after all, even a weak woman like herself didn't know why she had come here.
There's no reason why other terrestrial creatures or humans couldn't come.
Hela felt it was highly likely; if other humans did come to the seabed, they might be able to take her back.
However, we cannot let our guard down, as we cannot guarantee that the people or creatures that come will be benevolent.
I need to be more careful in the future.
Hela quickened her pace as she thought about it.
At the same time, a gaze extended from Hela's body, as if the gaze of a giant eye was slowly withdrawing back into her.
Then there was no further movement.
In the distance, a hidden figure watched Hela's departing figure, touched his wildly beating heart, silently swallowed, and disappeared from the spot.
Hela swam to Tang Tang's house, but when she entered, she didn't find her there.
"Did you go to work?"
Hela scratched her head, grabbed a thin thread from the room, and started wandering around inside.
After wandering around for a while, I got bored and started spacing out again.
The main problem is that it's incredibly boring here, especially for someone like me who has lived in the city all my life.
Even though Hela doesn't usually play games, she'll still check her phone to pass the time when she's free.
But now that she doesn't have a cell phone, and Hela doesn't dare to wander around, she's incredibly bored.
I wish I could draw.
Yes!
Hela thought that even in the Ocean World, there must be something similar to painting.
After all, for a civilization to continue, it must have the ability to record events.
Aside from words, there are only drawings.
