When Mo Qu opened his eyes, he felt a sharp pain all over his body. He vaguely remembered that when everyone was washed away, his first reaction was to hold Xue Ji's hand.
But they still got separated.
Mo Qu rubbed his head, subconsciously sat up, and found that he was lying on a huge piece of coral, surrounded by sea water.
Long Shuangyin and the mermaid were sitting not far away, as if chatting, talking and laughing.
"Where is this?"
Mo Qu asked aloud. After hearing this, Long Shuangyin turned around.
"Are you awake?"
"We were washed away, and it was this little mermaid who brought us back."
Long Shuangyin pointed at the cyan mermaid and said, "Although I don't understand the mermaid's language, I can basically communicate with him now."
During the three days when Mo Qu was sleeping, Long Shuangyin kept trying various ways to have a conversation with the little mermaid, and finally figured out the way, which was to draw.
Draw what she wants to say on the sand on the ground, and then the little mermaid draws it in the same way.
Seeing that Mo Qu was awake, the little mermaid approached him curiously, walked around him and nodded to Long Shuangyin.
"What is this doing?"
Mo Qu asked blankly.
"This is an unknown sea, but it is also the territory of the mermaid tribe."
Long Shuangyin told Mo Qu the information she had just gained from communicating with the little mermaid.
"The little mermaid has no name, so I named him Xiao Qing. Xiao Qing said that their mermaid clan was currently fighting for the throne, so we encountered those mermaids fighting."
"Isn't the throne of the mermaid clan a system of inheritance?"
"no."
Long Shuangyin shook his head, "People The fish tribe respects strength, and whoever is the strongest is the king."
"Every few hundred years, when a new Mermaid King is born, he will challenge the old Mermaid King and all the masters around him. Once he defeats them, he will be the new Mermaid King."
Long Shuangyin and Mo Qu patiently explained, "The place we accidentally passed by just now is where the new mermaid is challenging the mermaid king's men."
Speaking of this, Long Shuangyin couldn't help but smile, "Xiao Qing said that he was already used to the fights between the mermaid clan, but he didn't expect that our bodies as human beings are so fragile."
"He said he felt guilty for not being able to protect us, and he would help us find Ye Feng and the others."
"No, it's not his fault."
Mo Qu shook his head, "We are very grateful that he is willing to take us out of this sea area. He doesn't need to take it to heart, and he doesn't need to take risks with us."
Mo Qu added, "Tell Xiaoqing for me. Thank you for saving us. We are going to find our companions. We don't need him to take risks. We will come back to find him after we find him. We will have to trouble him then."
Lead us to the exit."
Long Shuangyin nodded and relayed Mo Qu's words to Xiao Qing. Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing's big tail that was swinging happily drooped down at this moment.
"What's up with him?"
Mo Qu noticed Xiao Qing's loss and couldn't help but feel a little confused, Long Shuangyin said.
"Don't forget that Xiao Qing is as beautiful as a human being, but this also caused him to be regarded as an ominous sign by the mermaid tribe, so he was excluded from the mermaid tribe."
"Xiaoqing has been lonely these years. He was very happy to meet us. He asked us if he could come with us."
Long Shuangyin asked with some embarrassment. She could see that Xiaoqing wanted to be friends with them, but...
As a creature of the deep sea, how can mermaids leave the sea?
"this……"
Mo Qu was also in trouble, and he had obviously considered this. Seeing the mermaid looking at them pitifully with its tail hanging down, Mo Qu gritted his teeth.
"Okay, let him go with us first. Anyway, he is most familiar with the deep sea and maybe we need his help."
"As for things on land, let's wait until we find Ye Feng. He will definitely have a solution."
Hearing this, Long Shuangyin nodded, then turned around and gestured to Xiaoqing.
Suddenly, Xiaoqing raised his tail happily, wagging his big tail in the sea like a puppy, forming small vortexes.
"Let's go."
In this way, the three of them set out on the road to find their partners, and on the other side...
Looking at the mermaids approaching her step by step, they were not as beautiful as Xiao Qing at all, but were different from each other.
Some have green faces and fangs, and some look like humans, but those faces are really hard to describe.
Xue Ji secretly thought to herself, it seemed that they were lucky enough to meet one of the more attractive mermaids among the mermaid tribe.
"Gulu gulu."
A few bubbles came out of the mermaid's mouth. Several mermaids looked at her as if they were discussing something. Xue Ji clenched the paper fan in her hand and secretly gathered strength.
The paper fan she was good at was unable to unleash its full strength in the sea water, and was suppressed by 20%. In addition, she was injured now, and she might not be able to escape from the hands of these mermaids for a while.
Those mermaids look like Da They reached a certain consensus and approached Xue Ji, with a somewhat malicious expression on her face.
Xue Ji suddenly raised her paper fan, and a long white dragon rose into the sky, instantly stirring up the water and heading towards several mermaids.
Obviously, these mermaids did not expect that Xue Ji was so powerful, and they were frightened and took a few steps back. Xue Ji took advantage of the situation and prepared to leave, but was sucked back by a huge force.
The leader of the mermaid never spoke or took action, but his move made Xue Ji feel more stressed.
Xue Ji struggled hard, but couldn't get away. One of her arms that was waving the paper fan was swung by the mermaid's tail, and she immediately lost the ability to attack.
Scarlet blood flowed from her arm, and she didn't expect that the mermaid would chop off her hand without hesitation.
Xue Ji gritted her teeth, her face looked a little pale, and she secretly activated her energy to recover her body. Fortunately, her injured arm had healed, so she instantly picked up the paper fan and was about to launch an attack.
"boom!"
The big tail slapped Xue Ji hard, and Xue Ji was instantly slapped away. At this time, a figure successfully caught her, and Xue Ji fainted.
"Xue Ji, Xue Ji!"
Yang Yi looked at Xue Ji in his arms, one of his hands was still bleeding continuously. He quickly offered a fruit from the Bodhi tree, and then opened Xue Ji's mouth to help her in.
The mermaids seemed to have been irritated by him and swam towards him with a roar. Yang Yi's eyes turned cold.
The next second, the Holy Light Sword was pulled out from his hand, and Yang Yi opened fire and started fighting with several mermaids. Unlike Xue Ji, Yang Yi was not restrained or injured, and the Pangu runes on his body moved towards the mermaids.
It made them unbearable.
And Yang Yi held the Holy Light Sword and slashed at the mermaid. The golden light of the sword made the mermaid feel a little frightened.
