Seeing this, Zhu Mangqi cried out in pain in his heart, with cold sweat on his back. He thought he was going to be killed by Shen Luo. He took a deep breath and continued:
"Well... Your Majesty also knows that we, the pearl divers, have always relied on the water and fire pills excreted by the water eaters to survive, so naturally we care more about them..."
As Zhu Mangqi spoke further, his voice became increasingly fainter.
Hearing this answer, Ao Qin was silent for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha... After you join the Dragon Palace, why do you still need to collect pearls?"
"Yes, yes, my mind was not able to wrap around it for a moment, I forgot, I forgot..." Zhu Mangqi said hurriedly.
After hearing all this, Shen Luo still couldn't come up with a definite answer, and suddenly became a little hesitant.
"What should I do? Do you still need to ask?" Zhu Mangqi sent a message to Shen Luo.
"Forget it. If we ask again, they will get suspicious. Well, since they have captured the Shuikui people, they will probably be useful to them. The situation is unclear now, so let's just follow them first." Shen Luo replied with a frown.
"Father, the strange phenomenon in the Great Abyss has not changed yet. I think the time to enter the Yansui Fire Vein is not yet ripe. How about waiting a little longer?" At this time, Ao Zhan suddenly asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire cave suddenly shook violently, gravel and sand in the cave kept falling, and bursts of rumbling sounds came from the passage.
"It seems that God is helping us. We must not miss this opportunity to unify the world." Seeing this, Ao Qin was not worried but happy, and waved his hand and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, sea water began to pour out of the passage leading to the Hot Bath Sea. It was obvious that the barrier blocking the sea water had been torn apart by the huge earthquake.
"Set off."
At Ao Qin's command, he stepped on the waves directly, and a water-proof barrier automatically opened up around his body, and he entered the passage.
The other few True Immortal-level Dragon Palace Water Descendants also hurriedly followed, but Ao Zhan did not leave immediately. Instead, he followed behind Shen Luo and the others.
Shen Luo and Zhu Mangqi looked at each other, each holding the imitation water-repellent bead in their mouths, and dived down.
As soon as they came out of that passage and entered the Hot Bath Sea, Shen Luo and Zhu Mangqi were immediately hit by an upwelling current and drifted upwards involuntarily.
At this time, Ao Zhan, who followed behind, rolled up his sleeves, and two streams of water wrapped around their ankles, pulling the two men down and then pulling them back.
Then, they were dragged by Ao Zhan and boarded the Dragon Palace treasure ship.
All the golden runes on the treasure ship lit up, and the water and fire pills inlaid around it shone brightly, spreading beyond the hull and condensing into a huge shuttle-shaped light curtain, enveloping the entire treasure ship.
When Ao Zhan brought Shen Luo to the treasure ship, they saw Ao Qin and others standing at the bow, casting spells and arranging something.
As soon as they got closer, they saw that in front of the bow, eleven tall figures shaped like seahorses had appeared. Each of them was nearly ten feet long. They were none other than the missing members of the Mizutani tribe.
But at this time, they all had a golden chain tied around their necks, connecting them to the hull, and they were obviously used as laborers to pull the treasure ship.
