Huan Tingting knew the identity of that person... It was the deputy leader of the Sea Shark Gang, "Broken Wave Spear" Yu Shuhai.
Yu Shuhai was standing behind a man with a fleshy face and wearing a long robe. The man was about fifty years old, standing proudly, with a small braid tied back, and was obviously not Chinese.
Behind that man, Yu Shuhai appeared to be extremely servile.
Those mermaids were hiding at the bottom of the Crystal Palace and were originally considered safe.
At this moment, the rock layer above was forcibly pierced by the wooden armor mechanisms. Although they struggled and resisted, they could not escape the net set up specifically to capture them.
—A famous mermaid girl was holding a coral branch, and a crossbow arrow with an iron chain shot into her fish tail. There was a barb on the arrow, which pulled her backwards.
She held on to the coral branch tightly. A warrior came over, sneered, and drew his sword to cut off one of her hands.
Amid screams, she was dragged backwards by the iron chains, surrounded by the laughter of the Sea Shark Gang members.
The bright red blood mixed with the diffuse water vapor, forming red blood bubbles.
The surroundings were in a state of devastation, like hell on earth.
Yu Shuhai laughed and said, "I never thought that the records of the mermaids in the East China Sea were actually true. With so many mermaids, if we use the recipe to make medicine, we can make more than ten or twenty pills."
The man with a face full of flesh and wearing a long robe smiled and said, "You can also select some good-looking ones and keep them, and send them to some nobles in the capital. Keep them in a jar, and they will be considered rare treasures."
Looking at these captured mermaids, they talked and laughed.
In the darkness far away, Huan Tingting frowned, Xianggu and Xu Xiaoyan gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
The six mermaid girls who had just confronted them, seeing their people being robbed, rushed forward recklessly to fight with these criminals who broke into their homes.
They are considered capable fighters among these mermaid girls, but that's all.
One was shot through by two crossbow arrows, one was hooked by a sickle and dragged away with wounds all over his body. Three others were caught in the silk net shot out by the wooden armor mechanism and dragged into the wooden armor mechanism. Another one killed a warrior from the Sea Shark Gang but was also hacked to pieces.
"Damn it!" Xianggu said hatefully. She really couldn't bear to watch it.
Huan Tingting and Xu Xiaoyan could only hold her down, fearing that she would rush forward and die.
"Let's go!" Huan Tingting whispered, "It's important to find the young master and the altar master, find the Dream Grass, and leave here as soon as possible."
She and Xu Xiaoyan grabbed the mushrooms and retreated... If they continued to stay here, not only would they not be able to help these mermaids, but they would also increase the risk of being exposed.
With his back turned to the miserable scene and screams behind him, he fled away in shame.
Huan Tingting was a member of the Demonic Sect after all, so she remained silent.
Xu Xiaoyan and Xianggu felt as if their hearts were pierced by barbed arrows, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.
Shi Hao and Yue Yaotai also heard the screams from above.
However, they searched everywhere but could not find the way to the upper place.
Shi Hao placed his hand on a piece of ice crystal. They followed the sound here and found that the sound from above was transmitted through the resonance of the crystal.
"Why are there so many girls screaming?" Yue Yaotai asked puzzledly.
"Mermaid!" Shi Hao whispered, "I'm afraid it's the mermaid hiding at the bottom of the Crystal Palace... I did find a girl at that time, with a human body and a fish tail."
Yue Yaotai looked down and said, "Young Master, did you hear the roar coming from below?"
Shi Hao listened attentively... The girl's screams coming through the ice crystals kept coming to his ears, which made him feel compassionate. For a moment, he didn't pay attention to other movements.
Being reminded by Yue Yaotai at this moment, they discovered that there were indeed faint roars of beasts coming from below them.
The two of them looked at each other. This roar was so angry, so sad, and so helpless at the same time.
Bang, bang, bang sounds, as if something was hitting.
Shi Hao said, "Let's go down and take a look." They followed the sound of the collision and found a shaft leading downwards.
There are complicated undercurrents in the shaft.
They continued to dive in the direction where the roar came from. Turbulence rose in front of them, and the roar became louder and louder.
Hand in hand, they walked cautiously through a dark passage that sloped downward, with a flash of light ahead.
They came out of the secret passage and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
In front of them, there was a huge sea monster.
The sea monster was like a giant snake, more than ten feet long, with carp-like scales all over its body. Its head was like a deer, but it had no horns.
This is a treasure palace. The sea beast hits the hard iron wall, and the bang bang bang sound comes from here.
Its forehead was covered in blood, but it kept roaring, and its roar was full of sadness.
Suddenly, the sea beast turned its head and saw them, and rushed towards them with a violent roar.
Halfway through the charge, it was forcibly grabbed... A thin silk rope passed through its neck, and the two ends of the rope were tied to the white jade pillar behind it.
It bared its fangs and claws towards Shi Hao and Yue Yaotai, looking ferocious and terrifying. The blood on its forehead flowed down, dyeing its eyes red.
Shi Hao suddenly said: "We are not your enemies!" He secretly practiced the Sacred Heart Mirror Technique and spoke softly, soothing the sea beast.
The sea monster had four legs in front and back. It arched its back and pretended to pounce, but it was no threat to them at all.
Shi Hao continued: "Those people above us are not in the same group as us."
He took a few steps forward, came to the front of the sea beast, raised his head, and looked into its bloodshot eyes: "Like you, I hate those evildoers who hurt the world."
The sea beast slowly calmed down, retracted its front claws, crouched down, and spoke in human language: "My people are being slaughtered and looted... Who is doing this?"
It can actually talk? Shi Hao was quite surprised.
He said helplessly: "Those are thugs from the Sea Shark Gang. They should be coming for those mermaids... They are mermaids, right? Are you from the Dragon Clan?"
The sea beast shook its head: "I am not a dragon, I am a Jiao... a sea Jiao in the East China Sea. I was originally a mermaid, and a long time ago, I successfully jumped over the Dragon Gate and turned into a Jiao. Although some people call people like me Jiaolong, we are different from the dragons in the heavens after all."
Mermaid? Dragon Gate? Flood Dragon
Shi Hao felt like he had stepped into a mythical world... although he had also had this feeling when he was in Yuanshi Cave Heaven.
But this is the mortal world!
Shi Hao was quite curious about this, but now was not the time to ask about past history.
He said, "How can I let you go?" He rushed behind the sea dragon, grabbed the silk rope and tried to tear it apart.
The silk thread was very thin, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it.
Yueyaotai also rushed over, grabbed the silk rope, activated his magic power, and a sword flashed.
The silk rope didn't move at all.
The sea dragon sighed, "It's useless. I have been tied here by it for more than a thousand years. A thousand years ago, it was still the end of the Ying Dynasty on land. A large number of criminals came to the East China Sea and captured my people. I was extremely angry and chased them into the Changhe River. After rescuing the people, I caused a storm and caused a flood on land, causing the Changhe River to overflow."
"There was a man named Zhang Liuhou who had great magical powers. He led me into a magic circle and captured me. He said that although there were evildoers among humans, since I had saved the captured mermaids and killed those evildoers, I shouldn't harm innocent people and cause a flood in the Changhe River, killing tens of thousands of lives."
"But he didn't kill me. He just said that although I deserved the punishment, it was because humans plundered the mermaids in the first place, so it was understandable. So he tied me here with this Nine-Day Suspension Thread. This Nine-Day Suspension Thread cannot be cut by a knife, and it is impervious to water and fire."
"Its two ends are suppressed by the Mysterious Command Talisman of the Heaven Realm. In this age without immortals and gods, only the Yuan Qi of the Primordial Realm can uncover it."
Shi Hao's mind moved: "Primordial Realm? Primordial Energy?" Following the Nine-Day Suspended Silk, he came to the end of the silk thread.
The two ends of the silk thread were tied into a white jade pillar, and there were indeed crystal runes flowing on the pillar, appearing and disappearing.
Shi Hao thought... the vitality of the Yuanshi Realm
He stretched out his hand, gathered the new Qi formed by the fusion of Taoism and Demon in his hand, raised it towards the rune, and gently lifted it up.
The rune immediately flew up, floating upwards, as if it was collected by an unknown mysterious place. It flashed and disappeared.
The sea dragon turned around and looked at the white jade pillar with the runes disappeared, stunned.
Shi Hao was a little unconfident: "Is this okay?" He felt that this was too simple.
It shouldn’t be that simple, right
The sea dragon was overjoyed: "My benefactor, please move aside."
Shi Hao and Yueyaotai quickly retreated. The sea dragon leaped forward and struggled hard. With a loud bang, the white jade pillar shattered in an instant.
This dragon is really powerful!
The sea dragon excitedly turned around in a big circle at a high altitude. Its scales were like beautiful jade, white with a hint of pink. Its body, which was more than ten feet long, turned several times, and the water vapor around it swirled like a tornado.
"My benefactor!" The sea dragon landed in front of Shi Hao and bowed his head, saying, "The Nine Heavens Suspended Thread is still tied to me, making it difficult for me to fully exert my strength and magical powers. Please help me take the Nine Heavens Suspended Thread.
Save the dragon to the end! Without saying a word, Shi Hao helped the sea dragon pull out the Nine Heavens Suspension Silk.
The Nine-Sky Suspended Silk was more than ten feet long, but very thin. It was wrapped around his hand many times and tied into a bundle, which was only equivalent to a small bunch of hair.
"Thank you very much, benefactor!" said the sea dragon, "The mermaids above are being slaughtered and kidnapped by the criminals. Please allow me to rescue them first, and then come back to talk to you, benefactor."
Shi Hao said: "We will go with you!"
The sea dragon did not refuse and lowered its body in front of them.
They rode on the dragon...
Chapter 244: The sea dragon emerges from the abyss: killing everyone in its path!
Xu Xiaoyan, Huan Tingting and Xianggu dived to the bottom of the water.
There were too many members in the Sea Shark Gang, so they were very cautious and didn't dare to be discovered by them.
Boom, there was a loud noise in front and water vapor exploded.
What happened? They were frightened and quietly crept forward to look outside.
A column of water burst out from a shaft, and a shocking air wave spread outward in a circular shape.
With a crackling sound, the ice crystals in front shattered, and a long pink and white shadow rose up with the water vapor.
The rolling waves rushed towards them, and they tried hard to grab the coral branches around them, trying to stabilize their bodies.
Snap! The coral branch in Xu Xiaoyan's hand suddenly shattered, and the whole person was thrown backwards.
Her wrist suddenly tightened and Huan Tingting grabbed her from behind.
"Hold on!" Huan Tingting whispered.
With the help of Huan Tingting, Xu Xiaoyan tried hard to move forward and stabilized his body again.
He looked up, but was stunned: "What... is that?"
Huan Tingting followed suit and also opened her eyes wide. Xianggu, who was standing next to her, shouted excitedly, "Dragon... That's a dragon!"
They couldn't think of any other name except "Dragon".
The long shadow was more than ten feet long from front to back.
The scales are like those of a carp, white with a hint of pink, and each piece sparkles like crystal jade.
It has four claws, each with only three claws, and does not have the deer-like horns that the legendary flying dragons have.
There are four claws, two in front and two in the back, about seven or eight feet apart.
With a step of its claws, the water vapor under its claws surged like a raging tide, and it took advantage of this to rush upward with great momentum.
Looking at this beautiful and horrifying scene, their scalps went numb.
"There is someone on the dragon's back!" Xianggu was sharp-eyed and pointed his finger.
At that moment, Huan Tingting and Xu Xiaoyan also saw the two figures on its back.
Originally, they felt that they were shocked enough, dumbfounded, and there was no way they could be more shocked.
But when they saw the two men, they knew they were wrong.
Their mouths were wide open, unable to close, and at one point they even wondered if they had fainted or were dreaming.
The scene before them was so dreamy that they felt that, if they were not dazzled, they must be dreaming.
So much so that Xu Xiaoyan had to free her hands and pinch the mushroom hard to see if she was dreaming.
Xianggu stared in amazement at the charging dragon shadow and the two people on the dragon's back. He was completely speechless and did not have any extra reaction to Xu Xiaoyan's pinch.
It won’t hurt… I’m really dreaming! Xu Xiaoyan is sure!
The members of the Sea Shark Gang also heard the vibrations in the ground.
The angry roar caused the Crystal Palace to tremble. They all stopped at this moment, either dragging the murlocs or searching for pearls or other treasures that were hard to find in the outside world.
The roar came from underground, and it was getting louder and louder.
Boom! Amid the violent shaking, a beam of white light rushed up, and the spreading water splashed down like a rainstorm in the high altitude. The waterfall was like an inverted galaxy, with stars appearing on it.
