Everyone carefully surrounded the siren general, who now looked weak and powerless, as harmless as a mermaid princess out of a fairy tale. It was hard to imagine how big of a storm she had just set off. However, the turbulent wind in the air that had not yet completely stopped reminded everyone of the danger of this siren. The golden light in Lily's eyes had not completely dissipated. She arched her body slightly to stay alert. "She won't suddenly wake up and hit us, will she?"
"Her physical strength has been exhausted. Even if she goes crazy, she won't be able to do much damage." Shaqira checked the state of the siren general. "She has the breath of many places in the deep sea... It seems that she has wandered a long distance before coming here. We are still thousands of nautical miles away from the Shrouded Isle. "
Nangong Sanba was a little surprised. "Sirens are so powerful when they go berserk. I thought they were quite peaceful."
The corner of Y'zaks mouth curled up, revealing a smile. "Am I not usually peaceful?"
"Sirens just don't like to fight, not that they can't fight. We also have professional soldiers," Shaqira said without looking back. "If necessary, we can set off a storm that can engulf several sea kingdoms. It's just that we are not interested in land."
As soon as Shaqira's voice trailed off, the siren general's fishtail suddenly twitched, and then she coughed violently. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the powerful siren slowly opened her eyes: her ability to recover was equally amazing.
Sorma immediately stepped forward to help Vanessa's upper body. "General, how are you? What happened in the deep sea? "
The siren general's eyes swept across the sky as if she could not see the people around her. She muttered to herself with a dull expression. Hao Ren listened carefully for a long time before he realized that she was just repeating the same sentence. "... Crazy, our queen is crazy... Our queen is crazy..."
Vivian bent down to check. "She doesn't seem to be in a normal state of mind."
"General, general, can you hear me?" Shaqira shook the siren general's shoulder. "I am Shaqira, the messenger who set off a hundred years ago. We... were ordered to return to Nasaton. What's the situation in the deep sea?"
Hearing the name "Nasaton", the siren general's eyes finally flashed a little. She suddenly propped herself up and grabbed Shaqira's arm. "Don't go back! Don't go near Nasaton! The city was already polluted! It had already been contaminated! Monsters are ruling that place! "
"We are there to solve the 'pollution'." Hao Ren grabbed Vanessa's hand. "Tell us about the current situation in Nasaton."
The siren general looked at the stranger in front of her in confusion. Her mind was sometimes clear and sometimes confused, in a very unstable state. A layer of haze appeared in her eyes, but she was still driven by instinct to stay awake. She answered as if she was sleep-talking, "... The Queen... That is not our Queen. There is something else in her body, a demon occupying her body... She ordered all the sirens to be recalled and forced us to extract the power of this planet. A huge vortex is opening on the great wall of Nasaton... That monster is constantly occupying the hearts of more sirens. It is spreading in our brains like a plague, I... I have it in me too..."
The siren general suddenly could not speak as if someone was strangling her throat. She held her head in pain as if trying to drive something out of her mind. "It's in my mind! It was right here! It knows you're here! Go back, don't go near Nasaton. Escape to the other side of the planet, there is still a chance to survive... "
A big hand suddenly pressed on Vanessa's forehead, and the siren's pain stopped abruptly as if she was hypnotized into a deep sleep. Y'zaks retracted his hand and shrugged innocently. "I really don't like to blame all the bad things on the demon. The one controlling the siren queen is obviously a big brain."
"Is she recovered?" Nangong Wuyue poked the siren general with the tip of her tail. "Did you expel the evil spirit from her soul?"
"No, I just forced her soul to calm down," Y'zaks shook his head. "There is a noise in her soul that is entangled with her spiritual world. It is not so easy to get rid of it. Maybe we need to find Nasaton to eradicate the problem. "
Hao Ren clapped his hands and stood up. "She just said that the monster knows we are coming. I'm afraid we have to speed up. The brain monster can collect information through its' chess pieces'."
"What should we do?" Shaqira's expression changed slightly. She looked down at the unconscious siren general. "There will be more sirens coming. Do we leave the general here?"
"This is not my style, but it is not appropriate to continue to bring her along." Hao Ren shook his head and took out the MDT. "Send her to the Kuiper Sanctuary and send a few 'little squids' (autonomous robots) to take care of her. I hope we will be done by the time she wakes up."
The siren general was teleported to an unknown place under the watchful eyes of everyone. Hasse regarded it as a convenient spatial magic, so he did not pay much attention to it. Human wizards always had a lot of strange magic props and self-created spells. He thought it was not surprising that a wizard who could walk with the Countess of the Crimson Moon had such power.
He looked at Vivian curiously. "Countess, your power seems to have decreased slightly?"
Vivian's expression froze, and she smiled awkwardly. "Not good, not good..."
Hasse did not ask much. He just said faintly, "You look like a different person from when you wreaked havoc in the European headquarters of the demon hunters."
Vivian was a little stunned. "When did I wreak havoc in your European headquarters?"
At this time, a blue light flashed in Hao Ren's pocket. The MDT had completed its escort mission and returned. He patted his pocket and interrupted the entanglement between the two of them. "Let's not talk about this now. It is more important to keep going. Shaqira, Sorma, please hurry up. "
The floating ice platform quickly melted into bubbles, and everyone returned to the water to continue their journey. This time, the water bubble was moving faster than before. With the help of magic, the speed of the bubble had exceeded several times the speed of sound after a period of acceleration. At this speed, the Shrouded Isle should soon appear in front of them.
Hao Ren looked up at the flickering light and shadow quickly passing over the bubble. He recalled the previous battle and suddenly became a little curious. "Where did that ghost ship come from? Do you sirens summon a human shipwreck as a weapon? "
Shaqira immediately shook her head. "No, that was General Vanessa's transformation. It was her combat form."
Lily was shocked. "What?! You can transform into... that kind of thing? "
"How many times do I have to tell you, water is amorphous," Nangong Wuyue seemed to be helpless against the lack of imagination of the crowd, "We use water to shape, so as long as we have seen it before and have been completely immersed in water, we can shape it. If necessary, we can transform into reefs, corals, sea beasts, and of course, we can transform into a sunken ship. We just need to sense its details with the water flow. "
Hao Ren was stunned. He had never thought of these things.
Nangong Wuyue raised a finger and shook it. "If necessary, I can even transform into Kursk or the Bismarck — because I have seen them in the water. But I can't do anything about active warships. At most, I can transform into their structure below the waterline. But this kind of transformation is not very meaningful. I can't understand how that thing works, so in the end, I still have to rely on my own water magic to fight. Even if I transform into a nuclear submarine, I can't release missiles and torpedoes. So only the powerful can transform into a super warship, and I... I think mantis shrimp is pretty good. "
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Hao Ren scratched his chin and thought for a long time before he suddenly thought of something. "Wait a minute, if that's the case... those ghost ships recorded in human history are..."
"They are the sirens on patrol," Shaqira's upper body poked out of the bubble. "Some people in Northern Europe like to say that the sirens bewitched the captain, ate the crew, and controlled the empty ship to attract more victims at sea. This is how they explain the ghost ships, but the reality is not quite the same: the ghost ships are the sirens themselves. We use water to transform our bodies into that, but we don't harm people. We just find it fun to see a human ship sinking at the bottom of the sea. Sorma, come and take over. "
Everyone was stunned speechless.
Lily crossed her arms and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she pulled Nangong Wuyue's tail and said, "Can you transform into Lexington when you go back?"
Nangong Wuyue: "... What are you thinking!"
After swimming in the water for a while, Sorma finally returned to the bubble and reported to everyone: they were close to the Shrouded Isle.
