The lodge, in front of the gate.

The crocodile-like mutant with scales and horns is still lying there, as if taking a nap, its body rising and falling rhythmically, showing great tension.

Around the Scale-horned Demon mutant, Su Ming's Illusory Demon Legion patrolled diligently, and seemed to be more dedicated than the Scale-horned Demon mutant.

Wu Lun Mo stayed on the top of the tree and looked around.

The Swamp Demon dived into the ground and popped up from time to time.

The troll walked back and forth with pounding footsteps.

And the scale-horned demon of the same ethnic group as the mutant species guarding the gate is standing guard at the closest distance to it, and there is a faint feeling of taking it as the leader.

A group of phantoms are doing such things in such deep mountains and forests, which is completely different from the bloodthirsty demons in the eyes of outsiders.

But it is such a group of phantom demons, but at a certain moment, a riot suddenly occurred.

"Guck!"

The first to react was naturally the Scaled Horned Demon mutant.

It suddenly opened its eyes, stood up abruptly, as if feeling something, and let out a roar full of hostility and terror.

"Roar!"

"Guck!"

"Quack quack!"

The rest of the phantoms also reacted violently in the next instant, roaring one by one, with a feeling of sternness.

Under such circumstances, three figures appeared one after another in the direction of the roars and threats of the phantom demons.

The people who appeared were naturally Su Ming, Xu Qianqian and the mermaid girl who was kidnapped.

"Mirin!"

The mermaid girl was taken aback by the grand welcome ceremony from the same clan in front of her, and she hid behind Xu Qianqian without hesitation, letting her figure disappear in front of many vicious "bad guys".

"Don't be afraid."

Xu Qianqian immediately comforted her.

"What are you doing? Do you want to scare the little girls?"

Su Ming also rebuked, completely forgetting how he had frightened the little girls before.

"Guck!"

The Scaled Horned Demon mutant howled, as if he was defending something, and his gaze towards the mermaid girl was filled with indescribable fear.

The rest of the phantom demons were the same, even more exaggerated than the scale-horned demon mutants. If it wasn't for Su Ming, they would all want to escape.

"What happened to you?"

Seeing this, Su Ming was a little stunned.

Xu Qianqian thought of something, and suddenly realized.

"It seems that the existence of this child has suppressed the bloodline of these phantom demons."

Xu Qianqian's speech made Su Ming stunned.

Human beings have status and class distinctions.

Similarly, phantoms also have levels.

At least, the suppressing power of the superior phantom over the lower phantom is absolute.

Because the superior phantom is an evolved relationship of life from the same race, for the phantom who feeds on blood and regards blood as the source of its own strength, the instinctual reverence and obedience to the evolved advanced bloodline is a thing carved into the body and mind. thing.

The so-called bloodline suppression refers to the suppressing power of the superior phantom over the lower phantom, causing the lower phantom to fear and obey instinctively.

If it is of the same family as this superior phantom demon, this kind of oppressive force will even make these lower-level phantom demons surrender.

For example, here, those scale-horned demons will subconsciously focus on the mutants of scale-horned demons, because although mutants fail to evolve, they also have more noble bloodlines than ordinary lower-level magic demons.

In the same way, although the mermaid girl did not evolve from the race of any phantom present, nor was it the evolutionary body of any phantom present, her own strength was only at the level of a lower-level phantom, perhaps even the scales and horns mutated. The species are not comparable, but as the descendant of the superior phantom demon mutants, her noble bloodline still exerts pressure on these lower phantom demons.

Therefore, including the scale-horned demon mutant, all the phantoms present reacted violently at the moment when they felt the arrival of the superior bloodline.

This is an instinctive fear and vigilance, and even the Scaled Horned Demon mutant, which is stronger than the mermaid girl, cannot be spared.

If it wasn't for the Rotten Water Demon among the phantoms present, the scene might have been more chaotic.

After all, according to Xu Qianqian's previous inspection of the scales that Su Ming brought in the past, the mermaid girl evolved from the rotten water demon, or in other words, the ancestors who gave her inheritance evolved from the rotten water devil.

As the evolutionary individual of the rotten water devil, if there is a rotten water devil at the scene, then they will rebel in an instant and fall under the command of the mermaid girl.

This is blood pressure.

This is the reason why the higher-level phantoms can become the leaders of the lower-level phantom races of the same ethnic group.

Of course, after seeing the mermaid girl, Su Ming wondered why such a beautiful little girl evolved from those ugly rotten water demons.

Perhaps, this is the possibility brought about by the evolution of phantoms?

After understanding this, Su Ming shook his head.

"All restraint, this child is not the enemy."

Su Ming waved his hand and drove away all the phantoms.

"Mirin!"

The mermaid girl nodded again and again, as if agreeing with Su Ming.

Seeing this, although the phantom demons did not let down their vigilance, they still honestly left under Su Ming's drive and continued to be on guard.

Only the scale-horned demon mutant remained, and the eyes of the mermaid girl were full of fierceness.

"Mirin!"

The mermaid girl hid deeper behind Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian continued to comfort her and looked at Su Ming.

Su Ming stared at the mutant mutant of scale-horned demons, and suddenly activated the [Destroy Demon] spell.

"Guck!"

The Scaled Horned Demon mutant let out a painful howl, his voice full of sourness.

"Go to the gate."

Su Ming pointed to the side.

"Guck!"

The scale-horned demon mutant did not dare to make it again, and ran away as if it were running away.

"It's done!"

Su Ming made a victory gesture towards Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian squinted at Su Ming, then led the mermaid girl into the hut without saying a word.

Su Ming shrugged, followed behind Xu Qianqian, and also entered the hut.

...

After entering the hut, the mermaid girl couldn't hold back the sleepiness for a while, and quickly fell asleep.

Su Ming and Xu Qianqian looked at each other, and both saw that the mermaid girl's actions were not because they let down their guard, but because of their weak relationship.

"The child's injury is healed, but the blood still seems to have caused a loss."

Xu Qianqian came to this conclusion.

It's true that phantoms have a very foul regeneration ability, but every time they are injured and bleed, the power of these phantoms derived from blood will be weakened.

This is the same reason that once the spiritual power spear of [Destroy Demon] works, it sucks blood at the heart of the phantom, which will make the phantom lose its strength and fall into a weak state.

Therefore, the mermaid girl's injury has recovered, but the lost blood has not been recovered, and she will be slightly weak, which is a matter of course.

"I don't know who injured her." Xu Qianqian frowned and said, "You can't use the ritual to extract the bloodline when your blood qi is depleted. Does the person who injured this child really care about the bloodline on her body?"

Injuring a mermaid girl is something that cannot be done casually for those who covet her bloodline.

It is precisely because of this that those underground mercenaries were reluctant to hurt the mermaid girl, so that the mermaid girl took the opportunity to escape again and again, so they had to hunt down again and again.

But this time, the mermaid girl was seriously injured, and it was impossible to use it for blood extraction in any case until the lost blood energy was made up.

From Xu Qianqian's point of view, there should be absolutely no reason to do such a thing that is not worth the loss.

"Who knows." Su Ming seemed to have nothing to do with himself, so he said: "Maybe this girl was injured by a passing professional because of bad luck, so maybe?"

There is only one way to know who wounded the mermaid girl.

"When she wakes up, you can ask her yourself, won't that work?"

What Su Ming gave was a way that was not a solution.

"That's right." Xu Qianqian pondered for a while, and said, "I will ask myself."

In order to find out if there are any high-level figures in the base city behind this incident, Xu Qianqian really planned to ask.

The premise is that this girl will cooperate.

"Okay." Su Ming knocked on the table, and while attracting Xu Qianqian's attention, he said: "Compared to this, I think you should think about it, and how to place this phantom cub is better."

This is an important problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Throwing and not throwing, killing and not being able to kill, is really a headache.

Xu Qianqian seemed to have thought about this too.

However, she still said something reluctantly.

"At the moment, I can only find a way to hide her so that no one will find out."

Obviously, Xu Qianqian has no better way.

The problem is that……

"Before you hide her, you need to find a way to get her through the battle of Huaming District."

Su Ming reminded.

To be honest, in the current form, Xu Qianqian wants to hide the mermaid girl, the hope is very slim.

Because Huaming District has been blocked, Longyao City has also launched a full-scale operation to clear the phantoms on the battlefield.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for a phantom like a mermaid girl to escape the encirclement of Longyao City.

Once discovered, the chaos will immediately form a vortex, involving the entire Longyao City.

However, Xu Qianqian's current situation is not good.

The people of the Xu family may still be chasing her and setting traps for her, intending to take her life.

Xu Qianqian, who was already in a bad situation, wanted to send the mermaid girl out of Huaming District by hiding the sky and the sea, it was definitely not that difficult.

Anyway, Su Ming is not very optimistic about her.

Who would have thought...

"It's not as difficult as you think to send this child out of Huaming District."

Xu Qianqian actually said such words.

"After all, in Huaming District, there are not a few people who want to transport their captured phantom demons out."

Xu Qianqian's words were like Bodhi empowerment, which made Su Ming understand.

Indeed, if this is the case, it is not impossible to send the mermaid girl out of Huaming District.
