In the dim corridor, mermaids of all sizes crowded together uneasily.
The old king of the Eastern Sea Territory stood guard at the entrance of the corridor, feeling extremely worried.
Old man, please don’t let go...
The royal blood is needed to open the corridor, whether entering or exiting.
If there is no royal family among the mermaids who enter, then the mermaids who enter the corridor can only wait quietly for death.
There is no food in this.
Fortunately, after seeing Lin Zhiyu's letter, the king of the East China Sea asked someone to save some food in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
It's just that they have been in this corridor for three days, and there is not much food left.
The king of the Western Sea Territory and his royal heir were both arrested, leaving the King of the Eastern Sea Territory here to open the door for everyone.
"King, can we still go out?" Hunger tortured every mermaid, and they were almost suffocating in this fear.
The attack from the beast clan was caught off guard, so they had to be prepared in advance before they could enter the tunnel.
The low sobbing in the corridor filled everyone's ears, and the mermaid was already in despair.
"King, we are no match for the orcs, but if we stay here, we can only wait for death."
"Yes, Wang, let's go out and give it a try."
The old king closed his eyes sadly.
He didn't want to give it a try, but the mermaids had no ability to fight back in front of the orcs.
He even saw a strong mermaid warrior being torn to pieces by a bear-shaped creature from the beast tribe in a single encounter.
Now whenever he wants to go out, the tragic situation of the mermaid warrior will appear in his mind.
Can not Go Out.
But if they don't go out, they will also face death.
In the silence, the old king sighed.
Lin Zhiyu rested for less than an hour before leading the shark tribe towards the mermaid tribe.
Finally, they arrived at the mermaid tribe early in the morning. They divided into two groups, one going to the corridor and the other taking a detour to the Western Sea Region Palace.
Because there were too many people and it was easy to be discovered, Lin Zhiyu deliberately told them to spread out.
After arranging all this, a mermaid appeared swaggering next to the corridor.
Mermaids and mermaids look so much alike that it’s impossible to tell them apart at first glance.
The orcs in charge of patrol quickly discovered the mermaid and shouted: "There is a mermaid here that slipped through the net!"
The shark ran away, gesturing to Lin Zhiyu and the others who were hiding.
A bunch of people chased him, and the shark deliberately lured the beast tribe to the palace in the western sea.
the other side.
After the patrolling orcs left, Lin Zhiyu used a special method to find the specific location of the corridor, and used blood as a medium to open the door of the corridor.
When the mermaid was panicking, a familiar voice came in, "Father? Is everyone okay?"
"Daisy?"
"Is Princess Daisy back?"
The mermaids swam out of the corridor one after another and looked at Lin Zhiyu and the army of sharks behind her.
According to the results of yesterday's discussion, they first took the mermaid who came out of the corridor to the East China Sea.
As for why he returned to the East China Sea, Lin Zhiyu's answer was: The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Neither Karina nor the Orcs noticed that the mermaid in the corridor had come out. Now the East China Sea is the safest place in comparison.
After settling the mermaids, Lin Zhiyu and the remaining sharks rushed to the Western Sea Palace.
As expected, the sharks and the orcs should have already fought against each other.
But when Lin Zhiyu arrived, the palace in the Western Sea Region was empty. Not to mention the sharks, there were no beasts.
[System, you’re out to work, help me find out where they are?]
[Behind the palace, there are traces of life.]
This time, not only Lin Zhiyu felt a sense of crisis, but also the system itself felt a sense of crisis.
It seems that something else has invaded this plane, but it is not sure whether it is "that thing".
As Lin Zhiyu went deeper into the palace, his perception became clearer.
That familiar yet dangerous feeling that "that thing" is inside.
[stop!]
[What's wrong?]Lin Zhiyu stopped when he heard this. It was already too late.
A mermaid swam out from the darkness, it was Karina who betrayed the mermaid tribe.
"Daisy? I didn't expect you to come back." Karina was a little surprised after seeing her.
Doesn't it mean that Daisy has gone to the human world? Why did he suddenly come back
Suddenly, Karina seemed to have thought of something and smiled seductively at Lin Zhiyu.
"You didn't bring those sharks, did you?"
Lin Zhiyu secretly thought that something was not right, and kept a calm expression on his face, "So what."
"Don't be nervous, I'll just ask."
Karina swam toward her unscrupulously, "My noble princess, do you still hold your head up like this now?"
"The East China Sea has completely disappeared, don't you know?"
Lin Zhiyu's pupils narrowed.
Karina snorted with satisfaction and turned away, "You are no longer a princess, but will be the noblest elder of the beast tribe in the future."
"No, if I wanted to, I would be their supreme master."
"If you cooperate with the orcs, you won't be afraid of them breaking their promises." Lin Zhiyu sneered.
"Breaking your word?" Karina stretched out her slender fingers and lifted Lin Zhiyu's chin, "Their right to live is with me, who dares to betray me?"
The moment their skin came into contact, the system immediately sensed the information about "that thing".
A piracy system that robs people of their character.
More strictly speaking, it can control even animals.
The system has discovered it, but it has not discovered the system yet.
It told Lin Zhiyu about this and asked her not to have too much physical contact with Karina, because it was not sure whether the other party could detect it.
Lin Zhiyu quickly shook Karina's hand away.
"Originally I didn't want to keep you, but... having the most beautiful princess of the mermaid tribe serve me sounds like an exciting thing..."
"I can be your maid, but you must promise me to let other mermaids go."
Karina rolled her eyes.
"Okay, it depends on your performance."
[System, can I see how they are doing?]
[I'm afraid it won't work for the time being. If I move too much, the piracy system may notice it, and it will only become more difficult to take action.]
Lin Zhiyu nodded.
The system sensed it a little and found that although the life signs of those people were not very strong, they were at least still alive.
Just stay alive.
Lin Zhiyu felt a little guilty about the captured sharks.
If she had noticed earlier that the other party also had a system and acted cautiously, this would not have happened.
[I can’t blame you. ] Sensing her self-blame, the system comforted her, [This is an unexpected thing. Even if you fail the mission in this world, there will be no punishment.]
Although the system said so, based on its understanding of Lin Zhiyu, its host would most likely find a way to deal with Karina.
Thinking that the once aloof Princess Daisi had become her maid, Daisi felt a sense of pleasure in her heart.
[Don’t forget to help me collect more souls, otherwise I will have no choice but to devour you.]
A cold mechanical sound suddenly sounded in her mind.
Karina's expression suddenly changed.
[Sir, if you give me some more time, I will definitely collect more souls for you.]
[Um. I think the mermaid soul just now is very good. You can find time to give it to me.]
Unexpectedly, it would target Lin Zhiyu's soul. Karina gritted her teeth and nodded, "Sir, I have some grudges against her..."
Before she could finish her words, a strong electric current coursed through her body.
The glorious mermaid suddenly had a distorted expression and screamed.
