We had to be on high alert at all times. While crossing the planned route, we held the gun tightly and observed the surrounding situation. “Look! There is a magnetic field ahead. The compass keeps vibrating in that direction. “Will there be anything?” An armed man in front of us abruptly yelled. We all pointed our flashlights in the same direction. Through the light, I saw a gray outline in the bushes in front of me. It turned out to be the foundation of a building. Despite being damaged and shattered, it still had some traces of man's carving on it. Someone used to live here! “Oh my god, there as well. My goodness, there’s a lot…” We turned around and raised the flashlight to take a look. I quickly discovered many damaged buildings in the surrounding bushes. One of them was even by my side. I knelt down to get a better look. This is the top of a spherical gray building, only a portion of which is visible from the ground, and it's impossible to tell what it is, but I believe
“Damn it! What the hell is this!”One of the men yelled, jolting us out of our stupor. We aimed our guns at the thing that spontaneously emerged from the swamp, but Jack warned us in whispers, "Don't move! It's a massive monitor lizard. This creature is extremely sensitive to moving objects. So the faster we move, the easier it will be for him to catch up with us!"“We should squat down and slowly return,” said another armed man. We probably invaded its domain. So it appeared.”He made a motion to several men behind him after he finished speaking. The men immediately squatted down in response to his command.We squatted after listening to the experienced mercenaries. We kept a close eye on the monster in case it attacked us unexpectedly. At the same time, we moved our bodies cautiously to the path we had come to find shelter behind the trees.But at this moment, I realized the shadow in the swamp got up suddenly, extending its mouth covered with sharp teeth. The giant monitor liza
Everyone across from us opened their mouths in surprise. I almost got angry at Dicken and panicked and said, "Uh... I might have forgotten to inform you. Gary and I spotted this merman while sailing... After that, we let him go... But I have no idea why he's here." I was concocting a lie. 'Damn Dicken! How dare he speak the human language in front of my classmates, let alone this sentence? 'Is he insane?' Jack reacted in shock while I was still explaining myself. He lifted Peter, looked at Dicken and me, and shook his head in surprise."Oh my god!" he exclaimed to Dicken, terrified yet surprised. You met a Japanese-speaking merman... Linda, you're so fortunate!"I murmured to myself as I removed the webbed claws from my waist with my hands. Dicken, on the other hand, didn't seem to let go of me. Instead, he drew nearer to me. I couldn't help but feel nervous. What if this beast humiliated me in front of my classmates with more dirty moves if I struggled again? He was a scumbag!
Jack and the others were ultimately able to let go of their animosity to Dicken because of my outstanding eloquence in reconciling. They eventually decided to let Dicken join our team. Even Dicken's enormous monitor lizard succumbed. As soon as he ordered it back to the marsh, it crawled back. The jungle reverted to its original state when we first arrived. We had to slow down and find shelter in this abandoned building because Peter was still in a coma and needed treatment for his wounds. Dicken appeared to be very familiar with this relic. He moved freely through these old buildings as if he were walking around his garden. It only took him a few seconds to locate a partially visible ring building not far away. I suspected the structure was a man-made pool, similar to the ancient Roman baths. Because this floating island would sink to the seafloor at a specific time, the bottom of this island should be the same as the bottom of the merman's cave, and they were linked to the sea.
I walked down the steps and came to a halt near the water. The pool was clouded with lotus-like plants, making it less clear than the lake. Dicken was nowhere to be found. I had no choice but to take a seat on the stairwell. "I would like to appreciate your help on behalf of my companions," I said, holding the grilled fish above the water like a dolphin breeder. I'll return if you don't come out right now." After I finished speaking, I felt compelled to stand. I wasn't sure if Dicken had hidden on purpose; he had looked at me earlier, but I couldn't find him now. But, deep down, I didn't want him to show up as well so that I'd have an excuse to leave quickly and finish the task Jack had assigned to me. But I knew it couldn't happen. A webbed claw slowly reached out from among the floating plants and grabbed my ankle. Then a handsome face emerged from the water, slowly approaching my legs. Despite being mentally prepared, seeing Dicken in this light made me subconsciously shrink
Dicken drew his tongue out and licked his greasy lips, exposing his sharp teeth in displeasure. When he saw the remaining grilled fish in my hand, he got a sad expression on his face. I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I saw his expressions. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't hold the fork in my hand.But Dicken didn't seem to get what was so amusing about it. He shifted his gaze away from the grilled fish and toward me as if observing a parent teasing their child. In the corner of his mouth, an arc formed. I noticed a flash in his eyes as if he was planning an act of revenge on the disobedient child.I had to stop laughing quickly. I'd almost forgotten he was a heinous beast! Every time I was with him, I stood to lose!"This is how you hold a fork, Dicken."To divert Dicken's attention away from my body, I immediately put on a serious expression. I grabbed his webbed claw, slid the fork between his curled fingers, and clenched them in a grasping motion."Then you mus
What a romantic scene…More and more, I was reminded of the time when Dickens and I had our intimate encounter. I couldn't stop sweating from embarrassment, but Dicken's face seemed to draw my gaze. Because our eyes were glued together, it was difficult to separate ourselves from each other. I even had a hunch that he was going to kiss me at any moment.Once Dicken loosened the fork in his webbed claw, he reached for my back and sank his teeth into my flesh. My back was shoved against him, and then his fishtail was used to prop him up. He had risen to the surface of the water.My ears perked up right away. I already knew what he was going to do next. We were about to embark on a more intimate date.I had no choice but to lean aside in order to keep Dicken at bay. My thoughts were consumed with ways to distract him. I reached into my pocket and found a metal object, which I immediately retrieved. It was Jack's compass. The needle was thumping like my heart, but the arrow was alway
I didn’t know what Dicken intended to do or what he was thinking. I could only let him bury his face into my chest as his claws gripped firmly onto my waist. He closed his eyes and took in my scent deeply. He seemed to be basking in my scent as if it was a drug he was addicted to. My senses sharpened, and my body trembled from the intimacy. He had also started to emit his unique fragrance that I couldn’t help but smell. For some reason, Dicken had become more excited than before. I was afraid that he would do more than just smell me, so I tried to get out of the pool. But my attempt was futile because Dicken already had me in the palm of his hands. I grabbed the fork that had fallen next to me and aimed its prongs at Dicken’s neck as I warned, “If you dare to do anything here, you…will end up in the same way as that grilled fish!” “Seduce…” Dicken remained buried in my chest as he released a low whine that startled me. Then, he lifted his head to look at me as he said, “I…seduc
