The gray shadow rose from the black rock embedded in the amethyst, intertwined with the black shadow on the ground in front of the rock, gradually expanded, and finally filled the entire space.
Inside the Amber Dragon Palace, there was a solemn atmosphere.
Since last year, Amber Dragon King's body had been gradually getting stronger, but at noon that day, he suddenly fell into a coma. The doctors in the palace couldn't tell the reason after looking at it. They just felt that the old Dragon King's breath was weak and his face was ashen, so he probably didn't die soon.
The news that the old Dragon King was critically ill soon reached the royal city, and Qianqi could not accept it for a while. After destroying the array of materials in Xizhen, Mucheng, they also stopped in Dongyao. At that time, my father still looked radiant and energetic. How could he suddenly fall ill
In Yongchuan High School, there was a self-study class in the classroom of Grade 1 (1). Xia Qiu was stuck on an algebra question. She had not fully memorized the formula taught by the teacher in class in the morning, so she had to turn to the front of the book to find it.
But her phone suddenly vibrated on the desk. Normally no one would send her a message at this time. She hesitated whether to wait until after school to see it, but finally took out her phone.
The message was sent by Dong Muya.
"Xia Qiu, Hongye sent someone to send a message that the Amber Dragon King is critically ill. I'm afraid this matter is related to the Qi Lie Array's array material Yuqi Rock in Dongyao, Shuicheng. Wang Cheng wants you and Xiao Leng to go to Chenji Palace quickly. Also: You will probably leave for Dongyao immediately."
Chenji Palace and Fuxing Palace in the Demon Realm King City welcomed the return of Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu. Qianqi was already restless. His face was filled with worry, showing a look of anxiety that he rarely showed at ordinary times.
Seeing them coming in, he immediately said: "You are finally here, let's set off now!"
Ouyang Yong also hurried to the hall together with Ouyang Hongye. He handed a silver medicine box to the thousand riders and said: "Take this with you. This is the best elixir that can be prepared in the royal city so far. It has the ability to revive the soul." The efficacy of life.”
When Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu saw the sad-looking Qianqi, they didn't want to ask any more questions. After making a little preparation, they set off on the road with him and Lingyu. Several young men drove the demon horses and kept going. After a day and a night, the water area outside Dongyao City finally appeared in their sight.
Before the boat stopped at the dock in the city, Qianqi jumped up from the boat and flew towards the Amber Dragon Palace. At this moment, how could he have the patience to ride on the Jade Scale Horned Beast Car
He had never thought that it was so far from the pier to the Amber Dragon Palace, and the Amber Dragon Palace where he had lived since childhood seemed to have suddenly become very big. After finally arriving at his father's hospital bed, his legs weakened and he knelt down beside the bed. However, no matter how many times he called for his father, he could not get any response from his father.
He had never seen his father as weak as he was now. Only when he was close to his face could he feel his silky breath. When he thought that his father might leave him like this, he burst into tears like a child. .
The palace doctor on the side came over and said: "Young Master, please don't be sad for now! I have my own opinions on Lord Dragon King's sudden illness!"
It took Qianqi a long time to regain some sense, sobbed and asked, "Oh? Tell me!"
"There used to be a girl named Yuchan in the song and dance department in the palace. Can you recognize it, young master? The day before yesterday, she said that she had something important to see the Dragon King. But because of her humble status, everyone did not agree to her plea. Regarding her words I didn’t take it to heart.”
Based on Qianqi's understanding of Yuchan, although she is more perverse than other mermaids because of her close relationship with him, she will never make trouble unreasonably, so he asked: "Where is Yuchan?"
"She has not appeared in the Song and Dance Department since yesterday, and everyone else said they have never seen her again!"
After listening to the doctor's words, Qianqi felt more and more strange. There seemed to be some connection between Yuchan's disappearance and his father's serious illness. At this time, Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Ling Yu were also introduced by the demon servant, and Qian Qi repeated the doctor's words to them.
Finally, Qianqi thought for a while and said, "That girl Yuchan has been extremely smart since she was a child. Maybe she will leave some clues for me!"
So a few teenagers decided to go to the Song and Dance Department to find out. In Yuchan's room, Qianqi saw a letter left on her pillow at a glance. When you unfold it, you will see a road map and several lines of densely packed symbols.
"This is the earliest language used by the mermaid tribe. Not many people in the mermaid tribe can use it now. She knows that I can understand it." Qian Qi read out the letter while reading it.
Little Lord
The Dragon King's illness is related to the descendants of the mermaid tribe's witches. This person's name is Lu Yin. I pretended to be a dancer and contacted him. I learned that he came for Qingyun's strange array, and Yuqi Rock seemed to be the key to the array. This picture is the link to the mysterious lake bottom temple. According to the specific route of the trail, the entrance to the lost trail will only be opened at noon every day.
After entering the temple, walk along the Milky Way and you will see Yuqi Rock.
I speak softly and no one in the palace believes what I say. Seeing that the Dragon King was seriously ill and the young master was not in Dongyao, I had no choice but to take the risk and go to the temple alone. If you read this letter before seeing me, it is likely that something unexpected happened to me.
The kindness of the young master cannot be repaid. Yuchan does not believe in reincarnation. She only hopes that this picture can be used by you, and she will die without regrets.

It was almost noon, and several teenagers decided to find the entrance to the lost path leading to the temple at the bottom of the lake based on the route map drawn by Yu Chan. Qian Qi led everyone directly from the palace courtyard into the bottom of the lake. This time he did not create a huge bubble to surround them like before, but instead covered everyone's head with a helmet-like bubble. This bubble is very magical, it can automatically filter the oxygen in the water, and then discharge the carbon dioxide they exhale into the water.
Each of them held a lamp made of luminous pearls in their hands and headed towards the former site of the Mermaid Clan's Coral House at the bottom of the lake. The fish that had entered hibernation due to the cold were awakened by them, and colorful fish swam around them curiously. Some of the fish were extremely large. Although they looked scary, they did not attack them.
Following the route map drawn by Yu Chan, they successfully found the coral houses. Although most of those houses were dilapidated, their colorful beauty could not be concealed. But at this moment, the teenagers were no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery. They entered the coral room marked on the route map. As expected, bubbles were rising on the floor behind the large bronze mirror. Several people squeezed behind the bronze mirror and fell down before they could stand firm.
Xia Qiu lay on his back on the icy ground, and his eyes were filled with stars. If you look carefully, it's not a starry sky, but golden spots on the dark blue rocks. Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi sat beside her, while Lingyu couldn't help but fly to the rock wall to touch the stars.
"Look! That's the Milky Way Yu Chan mentioned!"
Qianqi pointed to the silver belt above and said. The golden light spots in this belt are denser than those next to it, and they extend forward.
The four teenagers walked forward along the Milky Way and entered an open area. Countless pillars supported the main body of the huge temple. The temperature inside the temple was extremely low, and the air was filled with white breath. The icy ground was very slippery, and one had to walk carefully to avoid falling.
The air was unusually quiet, and everyone summoned their weapons to prepare for the battle that might come at any time. After walking for a while, Qian Qi saw Yu Chan tied behind her back under a pillar in front of her from a distance. He immediately ran forward and used a hydrator to use a short knife to cut the rope tied to her body.
Yuchan fell into his arms, dying. Her exposed forearm had scars cut with a knife. Qianqi pulled up her sleeve and found that her entire arm was covered in blood and flesh. How cruel and ruthless a person must be to commit such a murderous act? Torturing a young girl in this way, leaving her with a breath in the end and letting her experience the pain.
"Yu Chan..." Qian Qi recalled her name affectionately.
"Young Master..." Yu Chan reluctantly opened her eyes just a crack and weakly raised one hand.
"I'm here!" Qianqi answered her, holding the hand she extended.
Yu Chan relied on Qian Qi's warm hand to get some strength, and said with support: "Be careful... Yaksha, Lu Yin... Yu Qiyan's power can... kill the Dragon King."
Qianqi looked at his childhood playmate in his arms, the little mermaid whom he loved as a sister. He felt heartbroken and sighed: "Silly girl..."
That day, Yuchan disguised herself as a dancer, and after winning Luyin's trust, she obtained a way to enter the temple at the bottom of the lake. She wanted to tell the Amber Dragon King what she had learned, but those in the palace ignored her words. At this time, the bad news came that the Amber Dragon King was critically ill. The palace was suddenly in chaos, and no one cared about her discovery.
Her intuition told her that the Amber Dragon King would fall ill without warning must be related to the Lu Yin who claimed to be a descendant of the mermaid tribe. She calculated that Qianqi would rush back to Dongyao soon, so she left him a letter. Head to the Lake Temple alone.
When she arrived at the temple at the bottom of the lake, she bumped into Heron performing a ritual in the temple. As a descendant of the mermaid clan shaman, he inherited the psychic power of his ancestors. Their psychic power can make the power of the mermaid ancestors in Yuqi Rock be used for them, and this includes harming the souls of the living. One item.
According to Qingyun's arrangement, in order to prevent the Amber Dragon King from hindering them during the formation, Lu Yin cast a spell to take his life. If Yuchan hadn't arrived and disrupted his spell while he was casting it, the old Dragon King might have died.
At this time, Yasha suddenly appeared. Yuchan, who only knew a few tricks and embroidered legs, was no match for him at all. He easily caught him without even making a single move. Lu Yin saw that she was the beautiful dancer that day, and realized that he had been deceived by her. He was very upset, while Yaksha was furious. He ordered Lu Yin to cast the spell again, while he tied up Yu Chan and tortured her bit by bit.
Who would have thought that this seemingly weak mermaid girl would be so willing to bend rather than bend? No matter how much he tortured her, or even cut her flesh with a knife, she would never give in to him. The more she behaved like this, the more interesting Yasha found it. Every time she fainted due to unbearable pain, he would break ice cubes from the ground and place them on her to wake her up, and then continue to torture her.
Long before going to the temple at the bottom of the lake alone, Yuchan was ready to face death.
The life of a mermaid is so short, so she has to bloom like fireworks. She died for the boy she liked, Ouyang Xiaoleng, and the young master Qianqi who made her understand what dignity is. She felt that her life had never been better than before. The earth is full of meaning.
