Chapter 106 Deep Sea

The group carefully surrounded the Siren General. The latter now looked weak and helpless, as harmless as a mermaid princess from a fairy tale. It was hard to imagine how much of a storm she had stirred up just now, but the turbulent wind in the air that hadn't completely subsided reminded everyone of the Siren's danger. The golden light in Lily's eyes hadn't completely faded, and she kept a vigilant posture, slightly bowing: "This one won't suddenly wake up and hit people, right?"

"Her stamina is exhausted. Even if she goes crazy, she shouldn't have much destructive power," Shakira said, checking the Siren General's condition. "She carries the aura of many places in the deep sea... It seems that she wandered a long distance to get here. This is thousands of nautical miles away from the Isle of Mist."

Nangong Sanba was a little surprised: "Sirens are so fierce when they go berserk? I thought they were all quite peaceful."

Izhaks curled his lips, revealing a smile: "Aren't I usually quite peaceful too?"

"Sirens just don't like to fight, not that they can't fight. We also have professional soldiers," Shakira said without turning her head. "If necessary, we can stir up storms that are enough to swallow several maritime kingdoms, but we have no interest in land."

As soon as Shakira finished speaking, the Siren General's fishtail suddenly twitched slightly, and then she coughed violently. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this powerful Siren slowly opened her eyes: her recovery ability was equally astonishing.

Soma immediately stepped forward to help Vanessa sit up: "General, how are you? What exactly happened in the deep sea?"

The Siren General's eyes scanned the sky blankly, as if she couldn't see the crowd around her at all. She murmured to herself with a dull expression. Hao Ren listened carefully for a long time before realizing that she was just repeating a sentence: "...Gone mad, our queen has gone mad...our queen has gone mad..."

Vivian bent down to check: "Her mind doesn't seem to be normal."

"General, General, can you hear me?" Shakira shook the Siren General's shoulder vigorously. "I'm Shakira, the messenger who set off a hundred years ago. We... are ordered to return to Naxxatoon. What's the situation in the deep sea?"

Hearing the name "Naxxatoon," the Siren General's eyes finally flashed with some light. She suddenly supported herself and grabbed Shakira's arm: "Don't go back! Don't get close to Naxxatoon! The city has been contaminated! It has been contaminated! Monsters are ruling that place!"

"We're here to solve the 'contamination'," Hao Ren stepped forward and grabbed Vanessa's hand. "Tell us about the current situation in Naxxatoon."

The Siren General looked at the stranger in front of her with confusion. Her brain was sometimes clear and sometimes confused, fluctuating in a very unstable state. A haze floated in her eyes, but she still勉强保持清醒under the drive of instinct, and answered as if in a dream: "...The Queen...that's not our Queen, there's something else inside her, a demon is occupying her body...she ordered the recall of all the sirens, forcing us to draw the power of this planet, a huge vortex is opening on the Great Barrier of Naxxatoon...that monster is constantly occupying the hearts of more sirens, it's like a plague spreading in our brains, I...I also have..."

The Siren General suddenly couldn't speak as if someone was strangling her throat. She hugged her head in pain, seeming to be trying to drive something out of her brain: "It's in my mind! It's right here! It knows you're coming! Go back quickly, don't get close to Naxxatoon, escape to the other end of the planet, there's still a chance to survive there..."

A large hand suddenly pressed on Vanessa's forehead, and the Siren's pain came to an abrupt end, as if she had been hypnotized into a deep sleep. Izhaks withdrew his hand and shrugged innocently: "I really don't like to push all the bad things to demons. It's obvious that a big-brain is controlling the Siren Queen."

"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 forcibly calmed her soul," Izhaks shook his head. "There's a noise in her soul, entangled with her mental world. It's not so easy to dispel. Maybe we have to find Naxxatoon to eradicate this problem."

Hao Ren clapped his hands and stood up: "She said just now that the monster knows we're coming. I'm afraid we have to speed up. That Brain Monster can collect information through the 'chess pieces' it controls."

"What should we do?" Shakira's face changed slightly, and she looked down at the Siren General who had fallen asleep. "More sirens will track us. Are we going to throw the General in this place?"

"That's not my style, but it's not appropriate to continue to carry her," Hao Ren shook his head and took out the data terminal. "Send her to Kuiper's Sanctuary and send a few 'Little Squids' (autonomous machines) to take care of her. I hope we've solved the problem when she wakes up."

The Siren General was teleported to an unknown place in full view of everyone. Hasson took it as a convenient space magic and didn't care too much: Human wizards always have a lot of strange magical props and self-created spells. He didn't think it was strange that a wizard who could walk with the Countess of the Crimson Moon had this kind of strength.

He looked at Vivian curiously: "Your Excellency Countess, your power seems to have declined slightly?"

Vivian's expression froze, and she smiled awkwardly: "Poor condition, poor condition..."

Hasson didn't ask any more questions, just said lightly: "You are very different from when you made a scene at the European headquarters of the Demon Hunters back then."

Vivian was a little stunned: "When did I make a scene at your European headquarters?"

At this time, a blue light flashed in the position of Hao Ren's pocket, and the data terminal returned after completing the escort mission. He patted his pocket and interrupted the entanglement between the two on the old scores: "Don't talk about this at this time, it's important to continue on the road. Shakira, Soma, please speed up."

The floating ice platform quickly melted into foam, and everyone returned to the water again to continue on their way. This time, the movement speed of the water sac bubbles was faster than before. With the help of magic, after a period of acceleration, the forward speed of the bubbles exceeded several times the speed of sound. At this speed, the Isle of Mist should appear in front of them soon.

Hao Ren looked up at the floating light and fleeting shadows that quickly crossed the sky above the sac bubbles. Recalling the previous battle, he was suddenly a little curious: "Where did the ghost ship come from just now? Do you sirens summon human shipwrecks as weapons?"

Shakira immediately shook her head: "No, that was Vanessa General's transformation. It's her battle form."

Lily was taken aback: "What?! You can also turn into... that kind of thing?"

"How many times have I said, water has no fixed form," Nangong Wuyue seemed very helpless to everyone's lack of imagination. "We use water to shape forms, so as long as we have seen something and have been completely immersed in water, we can shape it. If necessary, we can turn into reefs, corals, sea beasts, and of course, sunken ships - we only need to use water to sense the details."

Hao Ren was dumbfounded. He had never imagined these things.

Nangong Wuyue raised a finger and shook it: "If necessary, I can even transform into a Kursk or Bismarck - because I have seen them sinking in the water. But there is no way for active warships, I can only transform into the structure below their waterline. But this kind of transformation is not very meaningful, I can't understand the operating principle of that kind of thing, 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 launch missiles and torpedoes. Therefore, only those with strength will transform into a super warship, and people like me... feel that mantis shrimp is pretty good."

The scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Hao Ren touched his chin and thought for a long time before suddenly figuring out one thing: "Wait, according to this... are those ghost ships recorded in human history..."

"Are sirens on patrol," Shakira's upper body poked out from the foam of the water sac bubbles. "Some people in Northern Europe like to say that sirens bewitched the captain, ate the crew, and then controlled the empty ship at sea to attract more victims. This is their explanation of the ghost ship, but the actual situation is not the same: the ghost ship is the siren itself. We use water to turn our bodies into that appearance, but we didn't harm anyone. We just felt it was fun to see human ships sinking on the seabed. Soma, come over and take over."

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

Lily thought for a while with her arms folded, and suddenly tugged at Nangong Wuyue's tail: "Can you transform into a Lexington when we go back?"

Nangong Wuyue: "...What are you thinking!"

After diving in the water for a while, Soma finally returned to the water sac bubbles to report to everyone: they were close to the Isle of Mist.
