Chapter 699 High fives as an oath
In Stuka Lumen's opinion.
Rather than being controlled by others and waiting for this hybrid merman in front of him to reveal the simplest way to find the magic weapon, it would be better to turn the passive situation into active one and just capture the person and put an end to it all.
In this case.
Not only could he ask this mixed-blood merman about his past with his brother, but he could also bring him directly into the tomb of the founding emperor and let him show him the way.
It can be said that——
Kill two birds with one stone.
Although the mental strength of this hybrid merman seemed to be very strong, he did not think that the opponent could defeat him in close combat, so he did not use his full strength when he attacked.
For him.
Capturing the opponent is just a piece of cake.
however.
Lu Chihuan was also on guard against him.
Therefore, when Stuka Lumen made his move, he had already retreated a few steps.
He reacted very quickly and grabbed the opponent's outstretched arm, and kicked hard at a vulnerable part of the opponent with his knee, and at the same time a sharp dagger appeared in his hand.
The dagger was as flexible as an arm in his hand. After turning it flexibly a few times, it stabbed Stuka Lumin's neck again.
It's aimed at the vital parts.
Being attacked from all directions, Stuka Lumin's face unconsciously turned a little green.
He underestimated the other party.
"I said……"
Stuka Lumen leaned back rapidly, and even though he dodged the attack of the hybrid merman in front of him, he was still a little distracted, so the opponent's dagger inevitably cut a wound on the side of his neck.
Blood slowly seeped out.
It did cause a slight stinging pain.
The wound is not big.
However, the frustration and shame given to Stuka Lumin were unprecedented. After all, no one had been able to hurt him for a long time since the incident with Stuhai.
This is the first time.
hateful.
There was a hint of embarrassment in his deep red eyes, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised up, as if he was laughing out of anger.
The voice that spoke was also a little gnashing, "Isn't your method of attack a bit too despicable?"
If there is a chance.
He estimated that he would never be able to be humane in his lifetime, and if word got out and people on other small planets knew about it, wouldn't it be laughable?
Lu Chihuan was originally concentrating on the battle, but after hearing this, he looked up at Stuka Lumin, and as if he realized something belatedly, his eyes flickered for a moment.
next moment.
The pair of clear and gentle eyes blinked a few times pretending to be innocent, and then he replied calmly, "This is just a counterattack against your rude attack, and I heard that His Majesty has not found a partner so far."
What this means is——
Anyway, it’s not needed for the time being.
If you are injured, just take care of yourself.
However, these words were like adding fuel to the fire for Stuka Lumin.
He took a deep, heavy breath.
It seemed as if he was restraining his emotions, but it seemed to have very limited effect, so that Stuka Lumen's actions towards Lu Chihuan became even more fierce and brutal.
“It’s possible to not use this thing, but it’s essential to not have it.”
“It can’t be a decoration either.”
"Do you understand?"
Lu Chihuan originally wanted to say that the lethality of his knee might not be as great as Stuka Lumen imagined, but after meeting the other party's fierce and cruel eyes, he silently swallowed his words back into his stomach.
He thought about it.
Then he answered very sincerely, "If you don't have the right to investigate, you don't have the right to speak."
"So far, it seems that there is no big difference between having this thing and not having it, so I might as well wait until I have a partner in the future... and then answer your question."
after all.
He has been extremely busy since entering this world. Not only has his desire in that aspect become very weak, but he also spends most of his time traveling around other planets and has no time to do anything extra.
So strictly speaking, he could not answer Stuka Lumin's question.
"you……"
Stuka Lumen choked.
For a moment, it seemed as if his language system had failed, and he didn't know what to say. His attacking movements also slowed down, revealing a momentary flaw.
After Lu Chihuan spotted the flaw, he quickly put something he had prepared long ago on Stuka Lumin's right wrist. The speed was so fast that it was simply astonishing.
The slightly damp palm came into close contact with Stuka Lumin's wrist.
Some strange and unclear emotions emerged in Stuka Lumin's heart, making him a little confused, and his wrist seemed to have some kind of allergic reaction.
Very itchy.
It made him want to scratch it hard.
This unusual reaction made Stuka Lumen reflexively shake off the hybrid merman's hand. He stared at the black mechanical bracelet on his wrist for a long while, trying to tear it off but to no avail.
The black mechanical bracelet was tightly attached to his wrist, as if nothing could shake its existence.
"what is this?"
Stuka Lumen's pigeon-blood-red eyes stared straight at Lu Chihuan. His originally obscure and dark gaze looked sharp and cold, and his hoarse voice also sounded a little heavy.
Lu Chihuan estimated the safe distance between him and Stuka Lumen.
Took a few steps back.
After making sure that Stuka Lumen couldn't hit him easily even if he wanted to, he curled his lips and slowly explained, "It's just a setting to make you keep your promise."
"Once your majesty has fulfilled the promise we made to each other, this bracelet will automatically fall off your wrist."
"But if you break your promise—"
He smiled again.
Stuka Lumin felt that this smile made his heart seem to be stung by something, neither lightly nor heavily. At first glance, it seemed as if a cunning little fox was setting a trap.
The other party's clear, soft voice sounded again, with the tail tone unconsciously rising.
"This bracelet will automatically start the self-destruction program, and the sharp needles on the inside will pierce your skin. It is coated with the most powerful toxin in the universe, and no one can easily remove it."
"By the time……"
"Your Majesty, you will become a corpse."
As soon as these words came out.
The guards standing behind Stuka Lumen were suddenly in a state of panic. They all raised the particle guns in their hands and pointed the muzzles in the direction of Lu Chihuan, their eyes filled with shock and anger.
"His Majesty!"
"Your life must not be in the hands of this villain, otherwise it will bring disaster to our mermaid race."
"Please give the order. As long as you give the order, we will kill him for you immediately."
however.
Stuka Lumin did not speak.
His silver eyelashes trembled, and his dark and obscure gaze fell on the face of the half-blood merman standing opposite him.
It’s as if he wanted to carve the other person’s facial features deeply into his heart.
After all, he had never suffered such a great loss at the hands of anyone, nor had he ever felt so many complex emotions from the same person on the same day. This experience was unprecedented.
and so.
The next time he sees the other person, he must be the first to recognize the other person.
And tortured him severely.
Make up for all the losses suffered this time.
"Ah."
There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, and he crossed his arms in front of his chest, just like the defensive posture he showed when facing Lu Chihuan, "After you make sure I keep the promise we agreed on, this thing will fall off."
"What if you regret it and want to kill me, or want to use this to blackmail me?"
Lu Chihuan's eyes were bright.
He answered decisively, "No, whether you want to believe it or not--"
"I don't even want to hurt you."
Stuka Lumin was shocked by the strong and determined emotions in Lu Chihuan's eyes, as if his soul was shaking uncontrollably.
He doesn't understand.
This was clearly the first time I met the other party, so why was he so confident?
"If you don't believe it."
In order to convince the other party, Lu Chihuan made another suggestion, "We can high-five and swear. If I break my promise, I will die without a burial place, and I will never be able to see my dearest ones in this life."
This oath is for him...
It can be said to be very poisonous.
After all, the people he cares most about are always his relatives.
Stuka Lumin seemed to be struggling between his own conscience and his own desires, but after a moment the idea of believing the hybrid merman in front of him seemed to prevail, so much so that he walked slowly to Lu Chihuan and raised his chin.
"Aren't we supposed to high-five and swear?"
"bring it on."
Lu Chihuan naturally would not hesitate.
He raised his hand quite neatly and clapped it against Stuka Lumin's palm a few times.
"Snapped."
Crisp applause sounded.
Stuka Lumin half bent over and approached Lu Chihuan, and spoke in a low voice in his ear, "This is the first time I have tried to trust a foreigner since returning to Stuhai. I hope your performance will not disappoint me."
"if not."
"Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I will dig you out and tear you into pieces."
The voice was deliberately softened, gentle as the whispers between lovers, but the words that came out were chilling, as if one was soaking in ice water in the dead of winter.
If other people heard it, they would definitely be scared, but Lu Chihuan just shook Stuka Lumin's hand.
"rest assured."
"It will not let you down."
He answered confidently, his bright eyes were like the tiny stars in the dark sky, flickering with soft light.
Stuka Lumin didn't know where this man got his confidence from.
But he didn't care anymore.
If the other party really goes back on his word, the worst that could happen is that I would just cut off my arm, and then soak myself in the repair agent in the treatment cabin to restore my flesh and blood.
He still has this courage.
"After entering the mausoleum of your founding emperor, you may face many tests before you can see the magic weapon, but I have a very simple method."
After giving himself a layer of protection, Lu Chihuan spoke out everything he knew without reservation, "You can call the name of that magic weapon, it's called Yuluan."
"It's the one among the four god-level mechas that completely disappeared without a trace."
"When your founding emperor Lance fell in love with it, he resolutely gave up the throne despite the elders' obstruction and chose to live out the rest of his life in seclusion with Yu Luan."
"So after Lance died."
"Yu Luan willingly entered this mausoleum and chose to sleep with Lance."
Stuka Lumen's pupils constricted.
He had no idea that such a story had happened to his ancestor, nor did he know that the so-called god-level mecha was hidden in the tomb that he regarded as a taboo.
God-level mecha.
That is something that everyone in the universe is vying for. If the news leaks out, I am afraid that the entire mermaid race will become the target of public criticism.
But the good thing is——
He was completely different from his former self.
This time he had enough strength to protect his people under his wings.
Lu Chihuan did not notice Stuka Lumin's complicated emotions.
He just felt that he had explained what he knew in sufficient detail, and Stuka Lumin was not stupid, so he should be able to make effective use of the information he revealed.
But when he glanced at Stuka Lumen, he didn't know whether he was too sympathetic to the opponent in this world branch.
He couldn't help but sigh softly, and then threw a mobile phone to the other party, "If it still refuses to come out to see you even if you call Yuluan's name..."
"Just let it talk to me."
After all, Yuluan and Jinwu are companions who were born in the same place. They have accompanied each other in the lake of their hearts for more than ten years, and their friendship is almost the same as that of brothers and sisters.
So if Jinwu were allowed to speak, the other party would probably give him some face.
Stuka Lumen clenched the intercom in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a moment, he put the things into his storage ring and waved to the guards behind him.
"Remove the explosive device."
"You will leave with me later. After we board the Cloud Whale and return to the Stu Sea, you are not allowed to attack them."
“And you are not allowed to investigate their identities.”
The guards behind him became anxious when they heard this, but since Stuka Lumin's words were golden, they would naturally not disobey them.
Therefore, even if I am unwilling.
They still removed the explosive device and prepared to leave behind Stuka Lumin.
After getting the information he wanted, Stuka Lumin did not intend to stay. However, when he passed by Lu Chihuan, he lowered his voice and spoke slowly:
"See you next time."
He was extremely looking forward to their next meeting, by which time the offensive and defensive situation between them would be reversed in an instant.
Until then.
He must have the upper hand.
This time, Stuka Lumin really kept his promise. He left the warehouse with his guards without looking back, and soon the place became quiet.
Make sure they are far away.
Lu Chihuan raised his hand and rubbed his face roughly, then he walked to the warehouse with a slightly tired look and knocked on the door.
Try to open it.
He raised his voice and said, "Come out, they're gone."
