Hang Shiqi spent a lot of effort to pry off some small pieces of Yuan Yu from the edge of the formation, while calling others to help.
"You're not going to pull down the entire Yuan Yu Formation bit by bit, are you?" One of Zong Yao's men asked as he pried hard on the edge of the palm-sized Yuan Yu.
"Of course not. With such a big formation, we can't pry it out in three months. I have other ways." Hang Shiqi put away the Yuan Yu handed over by several people and floated to the surface, revealing his head: "
Let me try it first."
He grabbed the smallest Yuan Jade fragment, about the size of a quarter of his fist, took out the food box containing the blood of the Cocoon Orc, dipped it in, and immediately threw it towards the entrance from the sixth floor to the seventh floor.
The blood melted into Yuan Yu and turned into a pale gold color, drawing an arc of light in the air. Then, huge energy exploded on the stone road at the entrance, making a huge noise like a firecracker being exploded.
The stone slab shattered to create a big hole. Several unlucky guys who were holding hooked spears and preparing to throw them at Hang Shiqi were immediately blown away. When they fell, their clothes were broken and half of their bodies were covered in blood. Some standing nearby
The cocoon orc in front also fell into the pool because of the collapse of the stone slab.
Accompanied by the sound of water, falling rocks, and frightened screams, Hang Shiqi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it can explode, no problem."
He estimated the time of the explosion, then took out a Yuan Yu the size of a fist, called Zong Yao, pointed to the stone wall on the opposite side to the entrance and said: "Use Yuan Yu to dip the blood in the food box, and wait for about a second.
, then smash the stone out, and the position will be a little above the water over there."
Only then did Zong Yao understand Hang Shiqi's plan: "Are you going to blow up a door to get out?"
After receiving a positive answer, Zong Yao picked up a piece of yuan jade, weighed it in his hand a few times, dipped it in blood from the food box, and threw it in the direction of Hang Shiqi's finger.
He threw it a little early. When the stone hit the rock wall, it did not explode. After it fell into the sea water, it made a muffled sound and stirred up a pool of water waves. However, it may have exploded. It was partially diluted by the sea water during the explosion, but it still remained.
It was not as powerful as the small piece of Yuan Yu thrown by Hang Qi.
At this time, the cocoon rat priest also understood Hang Shiqi's plan. He almost screamed and shouted to his men: "Quick, stop them."
Some cocoon orcs who knew how to swim jumped into the water and swam in the direction of Hang Shiqi.
"Just throw away yours." Hang Shiqi gave Zong Yao all the large pieces of Yuan Yu in his hand: "If it's not enough for them to dig more up from the bottom of the water, it's enough."
"Is it too late?" Zong Yao threw another yuan jade. Perhaps because of nervousness, he threw it a little late this time. The yuan jade exploded in the air before it hit the wall, and the fragments fell into the sea water.
.
"There's enough time." Hang Shiqi picked up some small pieces of Yuan Yu, dipped them in blood and threw them towards the entrance, blowing up a piece of cocoon orcs who had just entered the water. Hang Shiqi chuckled like a little devil: "They can't get through.
"
Zong Yao tried it for the third time and finally mastered the trick of throwing Yuan Yu. The remaining Yuan Yu stones exploded accurately on the rock wall. With violent vibrations, the rock wall finally appeared obvious.
Cracks appeared, and then, the huge water pressure caused the rock wall to quickly collapse inward. The influx of seawater filled the seventh floor of the underground palace in an instant, and continued to flow upward along the pores of the cave.
Zong Yao immediately turned around and hugged Yun Wuzhen next to him. Others could not react in time and were washed away in an instant. Hang Shiqi felt like he had entered the inside of a fully automatic drum washing machine and was carried away by the water flow.
I circled around and over and over again. I don’t know how long it took for the water to finally calm down.
Hang Shiqi had water beads to avoid him, but he was not flooded. He was just a little dizzy after being rolled around for a long time and couldn't tell the direction. He searched around and couldn't see anyone else. Hang Shiqi didn't worry about it anymore.
, follow the direction of the light and swim towards the sea above.
After swimming to the shore, Hang Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was still a nightless island and he was not washed away too far. He was still a little dizzy at the moment, so he staggered up the shore, recalling the location of the pier, and went to find Zong Yao's
Merchant ship.
When he walked to the rocks near the pier, Hang Shiqi was suddenly covered by someone from behind. Just as he was about to struggle, he heard Yun Wuzhen whisper in his ear: "Don't shout, it's me."
Hang Shiqi relaxed his strength and allowed the other party to drag him into the rocks. He turned around and found that Zong Yao was also there.
"You two are here, so I feel relieved that you are both fine." Hang Shiqi greeted the two of them happily: "Why are we squatting here? Why don't you get on the boat?"
"There was an ambush set by the mermaid tribe on the ship." Yun Wuzhen said.
"Ah." Hang Shiqi opened his mouth, and then he remembered that in addition to the cocoon rats, there was a group of people who were eyeing them. He scratched his hair and said with some annoyance: "I even forgot that there is a mermaid tribe here.
Where is my son?"
Yun Wuzhen also sighed: "You are not the only one who has forgotten. Several of Zong Yao's crew members were the first to return to the dock after being separated from us. Then they ran into Yu Meng's ambush and were all captured by Yu Meng.
Right on."
After Hang Shiqi figured out the cause and effect, he cheered up again: "Then where are they now? Let's go rescue them!"
"On the boat." Zong Yao took Hang Shiqi and found a place among the rocks. From here, he could just see the situation on the boat. Several of Zong Yao's men were tied up hand and foot and hung in a row on the boat, with mermaids next to them.
The clan's guard said: "After Yu Meng captured them, he hung them on the pole of the boat. He didn't take action yet. He was probably trying to attract us over.
Yun Wuzhen: "Yu Fangqing's methods are ruthless. Now that we know the secret of her cooperation with Cocoon Rat, she will definitely not let us go back alive."
"It's too bad." Hang Shiqi stared in the direction of the merchant ship: "What should we do? We can't just watch."
"You two find other ways to leave, and I'll go rescue them." Zong Yao straightened up: "I brought them here, I can't leave them alone."
"Stop," Yun Wuzhen grabbed Zong Yao's wrist, with anger on his face: "What are you talking about? You and your brothers came to Nightless Island just to save me, and now you let me
Leaving you to escape? Who do you think I am?"
"That's right!" Hang Shiqi also added: "I brought you here, and now you want me to leave you and run away? I won't run anyway."
Yun Wuzhen: "I don't think it's better than this. I'll lure Yu Meng away later, and you and Hang Qi will find a way to rescue the people and seize the ship. Once the ship is captured, we will leave."
"Impossible, we came here to save you, how could we abandon you and leave." Zong Yao said stubbornly: "Besides, there are at least dozens of mermaid warriors lurking near the ship. Even if you use it as bait to lure away half of them,
People are of no use. They are just giving away their heads in vain. Listen to me, I will save people, and you two will find another way to leave."
Yun Wuzhen: "Will it be useful if you go to rescue me? If it doesn't work, wouldn't you also give away his life for nothing?"
Zong Yao: "I am their boss, I brought them here, I have to take responsibility."
"So I can watch you die for me with peace of mind, and then escape back to Dongye without caring about anything?" Yun Wuzhen laughed angrily: "Then I would rather die here with you."
"Don't think like that." Seeing that Yun Wuzhen was angry, Zong Yao became a little panicked: "You are the young prince of the Yunhu tribe, and the people of Dongye are still waiting for you to return. If you become the king of Dongye, Yun
The Fox Clan and Dong Ye don’t have to continue to mess with the Cocoon Rat. So you see, your life is much more important than a useless idler like me. It is related to the happiness of many people. My life is not worth yours.
deficit."
Yun Wuzhen: "I didn't know that the captain was such a kind person. He valued the lives of my people and the happiness of Dongye more than his own life."
Zong Yao was speechless for a moment: "I..."
Zong Yao was really afraid that Yun Wuzhen would also stay, so he spoke out his true words in a hurry: "Actually, I was just talking nonsense. I can't care what happens to Dongye and Yunhu. I just don't want you to die here, either.
I don’t want you to live alone in the underground palace like before. Please, Yun Wuzhen, just go. As long as I know that you are living well, my life will be worth it."
"Zong Yao." Yun Wuzhen suddenly smiled, his dazzling eyes bent downwards, evoking a sultry aura, and breathed into Zong Yao's ear: "You like me so much?"
Zong Yao's face turned red for a moment, and he suddenly remembered a rumor. It was said that the young prince hated others liking him. So Zong Yao argued: "I just... like your tail."
Hang Shiqi opened his mouth and watched the two people arguing. He suddenly became ambiguous. He clicked his tongue and simply stopped getting involved. He found a place to squat far away. He looked at the undulating sea and suddenly felt a little confused.
I miss Ao Wu. If he were here, he must have many complete plans. That person always looks like he is strategizing and nothing can trouble him.
On the other side, Yun Wuzhen took out a felt fox from the space and stuffed it into Zong Yao's arms: "You don't even give me a chance to finish your words. Aren't you just afraid that I will be caught? I didn't say I wanted to go back.
Die. Have you ever heard of a fox substitute?"
"I've heard of it." Zong Yao nodded. He had never heard of it before. But after Yun Wulan ran away in front of the seven royal families last time, everyone knew what the fox double was.
Yun Wuzhen: "In this way, I will use a substitute later to ask them to let your men go, and then find a way to negotiate with Yu Fangqing and ask her to let us go. If it succeeds, it's best. If it doesn't succeed, you can think of it with my body behind your back."
We can seize the opportunity to seize the ship and escape together...
Zong Yao seemed to be reluctant to touch the beautiful white fox felt in his hand: "Okay."
Zong Yao and Hang Shiqi watched Yun Wuzhen's fox substitute leave.
After a while, the fox substitute made a circle and appeared from the other side near Zong Yao's boat. Yu Meng's people wanted to catch him, but he took out a dagger, put it against his neck, raised his head and met the people on the boat.
Yu Meng negotiated. After a while, the negotiation seemed to be successful. Yu Meng gave a few instructions to his subordinates and let go of the armored bears hanging on the boat. Then Yu Meng and other mermaids left the armored boat and followed
Behind Yun Wuzhen, he gradually walked away.
Hang Shiqi and Zong Yao took the opportunity to carry Yun Wuzhen's body and ran to the merchant ship.
"Set the ship." Zong Yao said to the crew.
The ship left the port smoothly, and at this time, Yun Wuzhen was finally brought to Yu Fangqing's palace by Yu Meng.
Yu Fangqing's expression was a little tired, as if she had rushed here from somewhere, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes: "I heard Yu Meng say that you threatened him with your own life to let the other people on the ship go."
"Yes. It's a threat." Yun Wuzhen stood loosely with a very indifferent expression.
Yu Fangqing stretched out her hand to touch the side of Yun Wuzhen's face, and said in a reluctant tone: "But you know that they know about the Cocoon Rat Underground Palace, and you will die. Just be good and stop making trouble with me, okay?"
"Not good." Yun Wuzhen stared at Yu Fangqing and said word by word: "If they die, I will never live alone."
Yu Fangqing's eyes finally showed a bit of disobedience and anger: "Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"
"Of course not." The corner of Yun Wuzhen's mouth curled up with a hint of mockery: "I should have known that I was just an interesting toy in your eyes. If it weren't for my brother's relationship, you wouldn't have let me play with you.
This place has been safe and sound for two months. Compared with your life and the safety of the mermaid clan, my life is not worth mentioning."
He then changed the topic: "But Yu Fangqing, now that the underground palace of Cocoon Rat has been destroyed, and the life and death of the Cocoon Rat sacrifice is unknown, they have lost? You might as well let us go, and let us all cooperate to remove the position of Cocoon Rat's Yuan Yu Formation
, how about telling the other royal families to deal with my brother and the Cocoon Rat clan together, and you will be equal to your merits and demerits?"
Yu Fangqing sneered: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Even if I let you go now, can you guarantee that people from other tribes will not settle accounts with me, and you will not bear grudges against me?"
Yun Wuzhen: "I can make an oath with you."
Yu Fangqing still shook her head: "You don't think that there is no oath between me, Cocoon Rat, and Yun Wulan, do you? Besides, it's just a destruction of an underground palace. The Cocoon Beastman has been rescued ashore by my people a long time ago. There is no way.
We haven’t lost much. As long as the position of the formation is not exposed, we may not lose."
She in turn persuaded Yun Wuzhen: "Xiao Zhen'er, you are Yunhu, your brother loves you, and I like you too, why do you have to be at odds with yourself and get involved with those people? Isn't it good to live forever?
You and I, we will live on this island forever, no one will disturb us, so why do you have to worry so much about things on land?"
"Live with you forever?" Yun Wuzhen twitched his lips: "Then I might as well die."
Yu Fangqing was angered by the determination in Yun Wuzhen's words: "You forced me, Yu Meng!"
"Here." Yu Meng walked to Yu Fangqing's side and responded.
"Send him to the cocoon rat sacrifice place." Yu Fangqing stood up and put on her robe: "Others, follow me to stop the boat."
On the sea, Zong Yao and seven crew members were driving the boat back towards the land with all their strength.
"Cough! Cough." Yun Wuzhen, with his eyes closed, coughed a few times and woke up from the cabin.
"You're awake." Hang Shiqi, who was standing by, was obviously relieved: "It's good that you're awake. You need to rest for a while. I'll tell Zong Yao so that he won't worry."
Yun Wuzhen pulled Hang Qiqi and said, "The negotiation failed. Yu Fangqing is already chasing us this way."
"Ah, isn't that normal? It would be strange if the mermaid tribe didn't chase us." Hang Shiqi was not surprised at all, but said optimistically: "It's okay, our boat is going fast, they may not be able to catch up.
of."
Yun Wuzhen shook his head: "I will definitely catch up. The mermaid has absolute say in the sea."
"Boss, we seem to have been circling the same place." The crew member responsible for judging the position also discovered the problem at this time.
Zong Yao closed his eyes: "It seems that what is coming can't be escaped. Brothers, if I really fall here this time, I owe you all."
"What are you talking about? You don't regard us as brothers, do you? My life was drowned in the river five years ago before yours."
"We, brothers and a family, will die together."
"I owe nothing. If I really count, I don't even know how many lives I owe you, boss."
"If you really feel that you owe your brothers something, just call daddy and daddy will stop arguing with you."
"Go away." Zong Yao couldn't help but cursed. A group of rough men over two meters tall laughed loudly on the boat, and the sad atmosphere disappeared.
The ship could not travel more than a hundred miles, and everyone on board heard a beautiful song coming from the sea.
Yun Wuzhen's eyes were slightly cold: "Here he comes."
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the huge waves to roll towards the boat.
"I'll drive." Zong Yao calmly took over the rudder. The hull of the boat was like a big silver fish that was always flexible, breaking through the waves and rushing forward.
A group of mermaids swayed their fish tails in the sea, circling around the hull of the ship, singing ethereal and melodious songs. The waves rolled upwards and collapsed downwards, gradually wrapping into a closed spherical shape. No matter how the ship drove inside,
Cannot leave the inner surface of the ball.
This is a skill unique to mermaids: Sea Forbidden Space.
Zong Yao put down the tiller: "Go to the deck, there is no way to avoid this battle."
A group of people gathered on the deck and faced Yu Fangqing and the hundreds of mermaids behind her.
Yu Fangqing jumped onto the deck, her fish tail turned into legs, and she approached everyone with graceful steps. Her eyes fell on Yun Wuzhen: "Xiao Zhen'er, you lied to me again."
"But it doesn't matter. I've figured it out. If you don't want to follow me when you're alive, it's better to kill me. Later, I'll ask the Cocoon Rat Sacrifice to help me make a cocoon orc, wash away the memory, and sleep better. Although
It's a bit difficult to explain to your brother, but the situation forced me to make it understandable to him."
Yun Wuzhen knew that Yu Fangqing had this plan when he heard the other party said that he would be sacrificed by cocoon rats. He sneered: "You should give up. Even if I am washed out and become a fool, I still won't like you."
Yu Fangqing's face darkened: "Don't talk so eloquently. Maybe you just don't understand feelings. When you become a cocoon orc, I will teach you well."
"Who says I don't understand feelings?" Yun Wuzhen reached out and held Zong Yao's arm: "Not only do I understand, I also have someone I like, and that's him."
Yu Fangqing glanced at Zong Yao with disbelief on her face: "He? Doesn't Xiao Zhen'er like beautiful females? This time the taste has changed a bit. And don't you hate others liking you? I think he is quite interested in you.
."
Yun Wuzhen: "So, I am serious this time. It is not the casual love like before, but the love that I want to live with him for a lifetime and have his ashes buried together after death. I can change for him
If you change your preferences and principles, you can also turn back your prodigal son for him and be single-minded from now on."
"Impossible!" This is simply dancing in Yu Fangqing's minefield. Isn't this what she has been trying to achieve for so long? Now Yun Wuzhen has given this unique love to a person who looks ordinary and naive.
Man, let her hard work for so long turn into a joke.
Zong Yao froze, stared and asked: "Really, is it true?"
Yun Wuzhen raised his eyelids: "Have I lied to you?"
It seems that he has been deceived many times. Zong Yao thought with a silly smile: But even if it is a lie this time, he is happy.
"Kill them." Yu Fangqing ordered through gritted teeth. There are two types of mermaid attacks, one is to use sea water, but Hang Shiqi and his party have all taken water-avoiding pills, and the attack of the natural power of the water system has been greatly weakened.
The other type is a sound attack, which attacks directly on the soul. The echoing mermaid song makes people dizzy, and illusions flash before their eyes until they fall into the illusion and completely lose consciousness. At this time, any harpoon will
You can disembowel them.
"Ouch--" A long wolf howl sounded from the top of the boat. Hang Shiqi jumped there without knowing when. Now he was shouting with his neck raised. The loud sound penetrated the mermaid's chant, and gradually deepened his voice.
Everyone who was trapped in the illusion was brought back to reality: "Ooooo - Ooooo - Ooooo -"
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?" Yun Wuzhen asked funny and puzzled.
Hang Shiqi replied while dodging the harpoon stabbed by the mermaid: "Ao Wu said that as long as you call him, he will appear."
Yun Wuzhen: "Ao Wu has the nerve to say this? Okay, you continue. If he doesn't come today, I will remember to laugh at him even if I become a cocoon orc."
Hang Shiqi actually felt unreasonable in his heart, but Tingyun Wuzhen smiled and became unconvinced: "Ao Wu can definitely come. He is very powerful. He has done everything he said."
"No matter how powerful he is, it's useless." Yu Fangqing said: "This place is thousands of miles away from the northern border, and it is on the sea. How can Ao Wu come? Besides, even if he can really teleport here, it will only lead to the death of one more person.
."
"Who do you think will die?" As soon as Yu Fangqing finished speaking, a cold and strong voice came from outside the water wall.
The rolled-up water wall suddenly opened a gap, and the spinning mermaids were hit by the drifting arrows and fell into the sea one after another. The forbidden sea space instantly collapsed. Not far away, a row of iron boats rode the wind and waves towards this side quickly, and they quickly arrived.
Go to Zong Yao's boat.
On the first boat, Ao Wu and the Iron-armored Bear King stood side by side.
"Holy shit, you're really here!" Hang Shiqi stepped on the board of the boat excitedly, jumped into the boat where Ao Wu was, plunged his head into his arms, rubbed against him, and said coquettishly: "Wow
Woohoo, I thought I was going to get cold this time."
Ao Wu gently rubbed Hang Shiqi's head: "I said I will protect you."
"Grandpa!" Zong Yao's eyes also lit up. The Armored Bear Clan actually came with dozens of armored ships and hundreds of tribesmen. He excitedly jumped onto the iron ship and made the deck creak: "Why are you here?
Already?"
The Iron-Armored Bear King said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Wolf King told me that the last formation should be at sea. The old man thought that we could not keep the young people busy and it was time to contribute to the mainland, so he came here with the fleet.
"
"Ah, how did you know that the formation is here?" Hang Shiqi looked at Ao Wu in surprise: "I just found out and wanted to rush back to tell you. If I hadn't discovered the location of the Yuan Yu formation, I wouldn't have been so attracted by Yu Fangqing
Raise an army and mobilize a large number of people to pursue and kill."
Ao Wu omitted a series of complicated inferences and said concisely: "It can't be found on the shore, so it can only be found in the sea."
Is it so simple? Hang Shiqi was unhappy: "Then why didn't you tell me? Why don't we do it together..."
Ao Wu: "If we come together, Yu Fangqing will definitely hide the entrance to the underground palace tightly. Then she will kill her and deny her recognition. There is nothing we can do against her."
"Oh, yes." Hang Shiqi nodded.
The Iron Bear King added: "And thanks to you being here and attracting Yu Fangqing's attention, our fleet can easily approach here."
"Okay." Hang Shiqi was very thoughtful: "As long as the work is not in vain."
"Yu Fangqing did not expect that the other party actually dispatched a fleet. However, after a brief surprise, he quickly calmed down and signaled to Yu Meng.
Yu Meng picked up a conch and blew it. At the same time, conchs buzzed all over the island. This was a warning conch used to call the islanders. The sound of the conch represented the island.
Encountering a major threat, the current island owner gave the order for the entire island to join the war.
Although the fishing boats on the island do not have the speed and power of the iron boats, the islanders are all aquatic orcs and have a natural advantage in fighting in the sea. And they are more objective in terms of numbers.
Yu Fangqing raised her chin and thought, maybe the mermaid clan has been silent for too long, making the orcs on the continent forget who is the overlord of the ocean. It is really ridiculous that they dare to come here to challenge her.
But after the conch rang twice, there was no response at all from the shore. Seeing that Yu Fangqing was so busy and had no intention of stopping them, Ao Wu and his party finally realized that something was wrong.
After a while, there was finally movement in the direction of Evernight Island, and a large white water wave rolled and formed a long line like a sea tide, approaching quickly this way.
When I got closer, I saw a large group of mermaids. The two female mermaids at the head both had looks that were not inferior to Yu Fangqing's. One of them was wearing yellow clothes and looked like a teenager.
Up and down, the temperament is cold and dusty.
"Stop blowing, stop blowing." The mermaid in yellow gauze covered her ears exaggeratedly and complained: "The noise makes my head hurt."
The mermaid in white had a serious expression and stared at Yu Fangqing with disapproval: "Violated the contract of the seven royal families, colluded with the cocoon rats without authorization, and destroyed the peace of the mainland and the island. Yu Fangqing, do you know your guilt?"
"Sister... eldest sister?" Yu Fangqing's face finally showed a bit of panic.
The mermaid in white cast her cold eyes on Yu Fangqing: "You disappoint me so much. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the mainland, so I gave you full responsibility here, but I didn't expect that you would do it for your own selfish interests.
Involving the entire Evernight Island in the dispute. Do you still understand that the islanders are your people and your responsibility, not pawns you wantonly manipulate."
"I didn't." Yu Fangqing's voice lowered little by little: "I didn't want to get involved in the beginning. I just wanted to use a little convenience to exchange for someone I like. I didn't want to get involved in things on the mainland. It's just...
…”
But once you get entangled, you will be trapped and trapped deeper and deeper.
"Is this the owner of the other two islands?" Hang Shiqi asked Ao Wu in a low voice.
Ao Wu: "Yeah. When I contacted the Iron Bear Clan, I sent a letter to the island owners of the other two islands of the Mermaid Clan. After all, it is an internal matter of the Mermaid Clan. If they are willing to come forward, it will save us a lot of effort."
The mermaid in white looked towards Ao Wu: "Thank you very much, His Highness the Wolf King, for informing me of the news."
"As for Yu Fangqing, please leave it to our clan to handle it. I think the answer I give should satisfy everyone."
Ao Wu nodded: "Yes, but we have to see the Yuan Yu Formation on the seabed destroyed with our own eyes before we can feel at ease. In addition, we also have to take back the cocoon rats and cocoon orcs that are still alive on the island."
Yu Fangqing, who understood that the situation was over, dejectedly gave up resistance. After a fierce pursuit, the escapees unexpectedly won a complete victory.
