After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 440 On the Multiple Uses of Xiao Hei

With Elius protecting her, Liang He only needs to focus on cutting the chains.

In the end, whether by brute force or skill, the chain broke.

"Phew... I feel like I did enough cardio today."

It has to be said that cutting iron chains in the deep sea is a very physically demanding task.

Liang He held the axe vertically to the ground, supporting herself with one hand on the handle and wiping away non-existent sweat with the other.

"There are two more... we should just deal with one of them."

Liang He, pondering the most effortless way to carry out the rescue, dragged away the broken chain to provide Ying with a more comfortable space while considering which chain would be the most time-efficient and labor-saving to replace.

"..."

Feeling that the surroundings had become much more spacious, Ying was finally able to move and happily waved her tentacles.

However, it still knew to consider Liang He and carefully avoided her to prevent stinging her.

Well, the main problem was that Elius's oppressive aura was just too strong, so to save himself the trouble, he simply used his beast form to surround the area.

If they dare to accidentally hurt Liang He, he dares to accidentally kill them.

"It's decided! This is the one!"

Liang He finally made up her mind to continue working.

If all else fails, she will have to cut off the other one as well.

"Ying, Guang, I'm going to keep chopping, be careful."

After warning the two giant jellyfish to prepare themselves, Liang He launched another attack on the iron chain.

Liang He didn't know if it was because she had just used up some of her strength, but this time the iron chain seemed tighter and harder to cut.

"How about you let me try?"

Elius walked around to Liang He's side, and, afraid that his voice would disturb her, offered his suggestions in a soft voice.

"I'll wrap my tail around the hammer; that should make it easier to hammer."

After listening to Elius's advice, Liang He felt it made a lot of sense.

Without hesitation, she handed the hammer to Elius's tail. After confirming that his tail had 'taken' it properly, she stepped aside and waited for Elius to use his tail to hammer the iron chain.

"boom!!!"

The first hammer blow landed heavily.

Just by listening to the sounds of the two jellyfish, one could sense a power completely different from before.

It wasn't that Liang He was too weak, it was just that her weapon wasn't suitable for her.

Moreover, even though there was no resistance to the axe she was holding in the water, the rusty iron chain submerged in the water was protected by the soft water.

Due to the combined effect, Liang He's strength was weakened considerably. She was already quite impressive that she was able to cut through an iron chain.

"Go, Xiao Hei!"

Seeing that it wasn't her turn to participate, Liang He simply cheered Elius on, acting as a proper cheerleader.

Encouraged by her, Elius worked even harder.

With a swift swing of its tail, Elius hammered the iron chains, and the second chain broke as well.

"I'll move the chains away, you can take another look later."

Elius had arranged with Liang He beforehand that he would move the chain to the other end and then see if Ying could come out directly.

Even if it manages to break free from the chains, its tentacles are still entangled in seaweed.

"Okay, take your time."

With Elius's assistance, Liang He's situation was clearly much easier.

After he finished, Liang He tried to help Ying break free of her shackles and regain her freedom.

"..."

Ying felt her body becoming lighter and lighter, and her joy was palpable.

Ultimately, with Liang He and Ying gradually developing a better understanding of each other, they were successfully rescued.

"..." Light always stood guard over Luminous, and even though the aura emanating from Elius made it tremble with fear, it did not affect its determination to protect Luminous.

Liang He was also very happy to see the two jellyfish happily intertwined together.

"Alright, let's head back early too. Evelyn and the others are probably worried about us."

Underwater communication is impossible, so Leila and the others are unaware of the situation and will definitely be worried.

So, after confirming that the two giant jellyfish didn't need any other help, Liang He simply rode on Elius's back and was taken back to Mermaid City by him.

However, they seem to have forgotten one thing.

"...Little Black, have you forgotten the way too?"

The single word "also" directly reveals the fact that both of them are lost.

"It's too dark here, it's hard to remember the way..."

Elius let out a sullen groan of dragon breath, seemingly quite displeased with his own failure to perform.

"It's okay, I don't remember either. Why don't you try calling out?"

I wonder how far they are from Mermaid City, and whether they can hear the dragon's roar.

But there's no other way at the moment, so Elius can only try to roar.

Whether the merfolk could hear it or not, the surrounding fish had certainly disappeared.

"If all else fails, we'll swim back to the surface and then try to contact the clan chief and the others."

Solutions can be found by thinking them up. No matter what problem she encounters, Liang He will come up with multiple solutions as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll try again."

Elius felt that as long as Liang He was there, nothing seemed to be a problem, which made him feel happy as well.

If all else fails, he can just treat it as an elopement with Liang He, which would be quite interesting.

This would just prolong the time he could monopolize Liang He.

As for Cedril and the others, well... what does it have to do with him?
"Liang He!"

Unfortunately, Elius's plan failed.

The clan leader and the others had been keeping a close eye on the surroundings.

The merfolk were indeed stunned after hearing the dragon's roar.

Fortunately, Landon and the others knew that Elius's beast form was a black dragon, and they immediately realized that they might be lost.

"Laila!"

Upon seeing Lyra and Sera and Hughes behind her, Liang He happily waved to them.

Both mermaids were somewhat shaken when they saw the dragon Elius.

"Liang He, are you alright?"

The first thing Leila did when she saw Liang He was to check if she was injured.

The Turritopsis dohrnii is simply too large, exuding a sense of oppression and threat.

Even knowing Liang He's strength and having Elius as her protector, she still felt worried.

"I'm fine, I just helped rescue another trapped jellyfish."

Liang He briefly explained what had happened, then had Elius return to human form. With Sera and Hughes leading the way, the three of them successfully returned to Mermaid City.

The moment Landon and the others saw Liang He, their reaction was exactly the same as Leila's: they first checked if she was injured.

Then I listened to her tell me about rescuing the jellyfish.

"Luckily, Xiao Hei came with me, otherwise I don't know how long I would have taken to cut the iron chain."

Although Cedril and the others were jealous of Liang He's praise, they unanimously agreed, as Elius was indeed more advantageous in the water and could better protect Liang He.

However, they seem to have forgotten one thing: dragons can not only enter the sea, but also fly in the sky.

"It's good that the matter is resolved."

Upon hearing that the giant jellyfish was unharmed, Goring, the acting district chief, breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, when you came back from the shore just now, you received a message that someone was looking for you."
