"I don't know. I woke up here. I don't know where this is, who I am, and why I'm here."
The mermaid held her head in distress, revealing the attractive style in front of her chest, which made Ding Ning dry.
With the sound of "whining", the falling snow woke up and blinked her confused eyes. After seeing the mermaid clearly, she was not afraid, but also eager to take her as a spiritual pet.
Frightened, Ding Ning hurriedly hugged her in his arms to stop her from moving, lest she ignore the importance to provoke the unpredictable Mermaid. Who knows what strange ability she has. If he swallowed the fallen snow's soul, he would have no time to cry.
"Brother, what a beautiful mermaid, but why is the tail black?"
Snow tilted her head and looked at the mermaid curiously, looking like she was salivating.
Ding Ning patted her hip angrily: "don't move, I'm asking her about it."
Instead, he asked with spiritual force, "beautiful mermaid, haven't you explored here? And why do you eat your soul?"
"Soul? What is soul?"
The mermaid blinked her big flawless eyes and looked ignorant.
"Those virtual shadows you just ate."
Ding Ning gestures, trying to make her understand. Secretly, her muscles are tense and ready to go. Once she tears her face, it's better to start first.
"Oh!" The mermaid showed a sudden color, rubbed her flat belly without any fat, and wronged her small mouth: "because I'm hungry, I don't know how long I've been here. I can only eat in this way, otherwise I'll starve to death."
"Er!"
Ding Ning was speechless about this explanation. It's always right for people to eat hungry. Although he thought it was evil to devour the soul, he couldn't say the truth in the face of the innocent eyes of the mermaid.
"Sister Mermaid, will you eat us when you are hungry?"
Well, Ding Luoxue is still so... Innocent. Such taboo questions were asked directly, which made Ding Ning sweat in a cold sweat, lest the mermaid turn over and eat them as food.
He regretted teaching Luoxue to refine her mind, otherwise she would not use spiritual communication to destroy the good situation of stability and harmony in front of her.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly repressed. Ding Ning's nervous back burst into a cold sweat. The whole person was like a cheetah staring at food and attacked at any time.
"Eat you?"
The mermaid blinked suspiciously, "you're not food. How do you eat?"
Ding Ning's whole body was relaxed. Fortunately, fortunately, if the mermaid didn't tell a lie, it showed that she could only devour the souls of newly dead creatures, but not the souls of living people. Then he was relieved.
"Besides, I don't know how long I've been here alone. It's too late for me to be happy when you come to stay with me."
The mermaid showed a sweet smile, like flowers in full bloom. It was beautiful and made Ding Ning's eyes straight.
But then he realized the current situation from the mermaid's words. He didn't know how high it fell, and there was this strange gravity. How can he fly back later?
Ding Luoxue seemed to be aware of this, frowned and said, "is there any other exit here?"
"Exit? I don't know. I can only move in this area."
The mermaid said sadly. She opened her mouth and blew a breath at the underground river under her. The river magically separated on both sides, revealing the dark bottom of the river.
Ding Ning's eyes coagulated and his face showed pity. The huge tail of the mermaid was penetrated by eight chains fixed on both sides of the river, which limited her freedom. The shocking wounds caused by the eight chains alone made him feel so painful.
Snow seems to recall her tragic experience, and her distressed tears are coming down: "sister Mermaid, don't you hurt? Who is so cruel to you?"
The mermaid blinked her big clear eyes: "OK, it doesn't hurt so much after eating. I don't know who locked me here. I'll be here when I wake up."
"How long has it been?" Ding Ning's heart and liver are trembling. Compared with the crime suffered by snow at the beginning, the mermaid is no worse than her, which makes him feel inexplicably distressed.
"I don't know. It should have been a long time."
The mermaid seemed to have no concept of time. She broke off the green onion and white jade finger and counted her fingers clumsily and lovably. Later, she found that ten fingers seemed to be unable to count. She shook her head in distress and gave up counting time.
Ding Ning trembled in his heart. The poor Mermaid didn't know how long he had been alone in the dark space. He hunted for food and added energy by singing.
In this way, it seems that her soul swallowing behavior is understandable. After all, she can't eat meat even if she wants to eat. Her range of activities can only be in the dark river.
"Brother, let's help her. She's so poor!"
Falling snow tears shook Ding Ning's arm and begged.
She didn't say, but Ding Ning was also interested in it. She immediately nodded and said, "mermaid, do you want to leave here? Shall I take you away?"
"Get out of here? Of course I want to, but..."
The mermaid's pearly eyes flashed a dark color: "I can't live without it. The iron chain is very hard and can't be done at all!"
"Let me try!"
Ding Ning doesn't think so. After all, the mermaid is weak and weak. He is confident to break the iron chain with brute force.
"Really?"
The mermaid's face looked forward to it.
"There should be no problem."
Ding Ning said, had come to the front, reached out and grabbed the chain and twisted it
The iron chain looks like an ordinary iron chain, but Ding Ning noticed its abnormality as soon as he started.
The iron chain was made of unknown material. It was not only extremely heavy, but also gave off a sense of forest cold, which made him shiver.
Ding Ning didn't believe in evil and tried again, but he let his green veins burst on his forehead and his face turned red. He even used his strength to eat milk, and the iron chain still didn't respond.
The luster of hope in the mermaid's eyes dimmed bit by bit, forced to smile and said, "it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm used to it."
"Yes... Sorry, I can't get this chain."
Ding Ning lowered his head and said guiltily. He had no face to the bright eyes of the mermaid, but he quickly looked up and said firmly, "give me some time, I will find a way to save you."
Looking at Ding Ning's firm eyes, the mermaid showed a sweet smile: "I believe you!"
"Brother, is there no way?"
Seeing that Ding Ning, who has always been omnipotent, has no way, snow asked reluctantly.
"We have to find a way to go out first and get some tools. A little cutting can cut the iron chain."
Ding Ning gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Well, I'm sure I can save sister Mermaid."
Falling snow has an innate intimacy to the mermaid and wants to save her.
"Yes, I will."
Ding Ning rubbed Snow's head and promised as if by oath.
The mermaid looked at the intimacy of the two people, and her eyes showed a touch of envy.
"Mermaid, we have to go out and prepare something first. When we come back with tools, we can get you out."
Ding Ning said confidently.
"You... Are you leaving?"
The luster in the mermaid's eyes suddenly darkened and said with reluctance.
"Brother, why don't I stay with sister mermaid? You find your way out and come back to us."
Falling snow said reluctantly.
"Well... What if there's no other way out?"
Ding Ning is really worried about leaving the falling snow here. Although she thinks the mermaid is very poor, who knows if she will eat the falling snow when she is hungry and anxious.
"It doesn't matter. They're with me. If there's no other way, don't you have to come back?"
Snow is determined to stay.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
Ding Ning secretly thought that there were free wings, and they could change their perspective at any time. There should be no problem with the safety of falling snow. The only worry is that I don't know how big it is here. What if I get lost?
"Yes, I just picked a lot of wild fruits outside. I came here before I could eat them."
Snowfall took out a bunch of wild fruits from her bag like a show off. It's difficult for the girl to hold on to the bag given by Ding Ning even if she was confused.
Seeing that Ding Ning was still a little worried, falling snow pointed to the pile of broken meat of insects and animals on the ground: "I'll take it on fire. Even if the wild fruits are finished, I can barbecue."
Ding Ning thought of falling snow, but after three years of dark underground life, it should not be easy for her to starve to death. She no longer hesitated, "well, I'll find out the way now. You wait for me here. Don't leave until I come back."
"Well, don't worry, brother. Pay attention to your own safety. In case there is no food, isn't there still a mermaid sister? She eats soul and I eat meat without delay, hee hee!"
Falling snow was also reluctant, but she smiled to dispel Ding Ning's concerns.
Ding Ning wanted to warn the mermaid, but looking at her simple and ignorant eyes, she couldn't say anything about the threat. She could only give instructions to the three empty wings to protect the falling snow in spirit and stride forward.
After leaving the black land, Ding Ning felt all loose, and the whole person felt as light as a swallow.
When you find a way out, you must study the black land and see why there is such terrible gravity, which is enough to withstand dozens of times the gravity on the ground.
As he went farther and farther, Ding Ning found that this space seemed to be an extremely wide corridor, as if there was no edge, which made him gradually anxious.
The most terrible thing is that it is very quiet here. There is no sound of insects and ants, and there are no plants. It is deserted everywhere. The quiet overflow makes people uneasy.
Ding Ning didn't remember how long he had been walking. When even his spiritual mark began to become blurred, he was so dark that he even came to the end. Fortunately, there was no unique road, and a light door appeared at the end.
Ding Ning stared at the light door and hesitated. The light door was very strange. He stood in the space out of thin air, giving him a very mysterious feeling.
But now he can't retreat. The light door is the only hope. Anyway, Ding Ning bit his teeth and took a step towards the light door.
A dizzy feeling of weightlessness came. Ding Ning was stunned. Before he could react, he found that the light door had a ripple like water waves, and his feet were down-to-earth.
Ding Ning looked intently and saw that the space was only dozens of square meters. The space was empty. There was no other way out except for a monster statue with a ferocious face and strange shape, which was more than three feet high. The surrounding walls were all made of thick granite, and there was no hope of breaking through the wall.
This made him suddenly disappointed. Is the only way out is the way in? Forget it, go back and find a way to see if you can fly back.
He sighed. When he turned and was about to return, Ding Ning's face changed dramatically. When he came, the light door had disappeared. Behind him was a bare wall, all made of hard granite.
