People at Sea: I Rely on Hints to Become a Big Shot

When Shen Jue woke up, she found herself adrift on the vast ocean. Beneath her was a small wooden raft, and in her hand, a fishing rod. Feeling utterly bewildered, Shen Jue looked at the boundless ...

Chapter 388 Suspected Internal Strife (1/2)

The mermaid's tears in the deep blue sea beneath the reefs are much harder to find than the Blazing Flame Spirit Fruit.

The oceans of the maritime world are so vast that without clues, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Shen Jue thought to herself, "Let's go check out the sea area where the Mermaid King is."

In any case, this last life-saving medicine is definitely not just ordinary mermaid tears. We need to be even more careful when heading to the sea where the Mermaid King is located.

After all, she has a criminal record in this sea area. She previously broke the Mermaid King's method of immortality. If she is discovered to still dare to come here, she will probably be hunted down by the entire Mermaid race.

In short, one must be extremely careful when entering the sea of ​​merfolk.

With the system map available, heading to the Mermaid Sea will become easier with practice.

As they approached the Mermaid Sea, the water grew increasingly deep in color, a dark blue tinged with a chilling aura.

The raft could no longer go any further, but fortunately there was a small island not far away where the raft could be secured.

She then led Qingfeng and the others, lightly equipped, directly into the sea.

This place is still some distance from the Mermaid Sea. The raft stopped here without approaching the Mermaid Sea's barrier. They came quietly, so the chances of being discovered were smaller.

In the sea, Qingfeng did not transform into its original form, but only revealed one-fifth of its original form, with Shenjue lying on the back of a more than 3-meter-long azure dragon.

On her left shoulder was a small ball that looked like a glutinous rice ball, and on her right shoulder was a mini black dragon.

The closer they got to the Mermaid Sea, the more uncomfortable Qiuqiu became.

"Qiuqiu, what's wrong?"

Qiuqiu was fine last time she came, why is she reacting so strongly this time?

Qiuqiu: "I don't know either. There's been a lot of negative energy in this sea area, and my strength has been severely suppressed. I need to go back to the cabin to recuperate."

Shen Jue: "Okay, then you can go back first."

Qiuqiu returned to the pet house, leaving only Qingfeng, Heichen, and the Divine Medicine Guardian Spirit who had no combat ability.

Shen Jue was uncertain about finding the divine medicine, but in order to break the curse on her body, she had no choice but to take the risk.

On this trip to the Mermaid Sea, Shen Jue did not encounter any sea beasts, presumably because the sea beasts were no longer in this area.

But this is for the best; the chances of her being discovered when she enters the sea of ​​merfolk will be even lower.

The closer Shen Jue got to the Mermaid Sea barrier, the more he could sense that the barrier was different from usual.

The barrier used to protect against both creatures from the outer seas and merfolk from creatures within the seas, making it difficult for them to enter or leave.

The current barrier only protects creatures from the inner sea, while creatures from the outer sea can enter at will, making it easy to enter but difficult to leave.

For example, Shen Jue witnessed a group of sea fish crossing the barrier and being chased by the merfolk. In their panic, they crashed into the barrier and were killed by the predators that were following them.

To get through the barrier, you'll have to be extra careful.

He took out the upgraded barrier-breaking card, and in an instant, the card transformed into a beam of light, merging into the protective barrier of the merfolk sea. The originally indestructible barrier rippled, revealing a passage wide enough for one person to pass through.

Shen Jue lay on Qing Feng's back, with Hei Chen following closely behind, and they quickly passed through.

Shen Jue went into hiding early on, and she also used invisibility cards on her friends.

The invisibility card took effect instantly, and Qingfeng Heichen Yaoling was enveloped in a transparent film, becoming invisible.

Following Shen Jue's instructions, they approached the underwater palace, dodging wave after wave of merman patrols along the way.

Upon approaching the palace, Shen Jue used the Small Puppet Card.

Shen Jue also upgraded the little puppet. This little puppet was only the size of a palm, but it was agile and quick. After attaching an invisibility card to itself, it silently sneaked into the palace.

It climbs along the palace walls, weaves between beams and pillars, and seeks out clues as to the palace's possible existence.

Shen Jue released many small puppets, and soon the puppets sent back a message that the Merman King was discussing matters with his ministers in the council hall deep inside the palace.

Shen Jue was overjoyed and commanded the little puppet to continue tracking and investigating. Perhaps it could uncover the information she wanted.

The little puppet, hidden in the shadows of the council hall, used its upgraded, heightened hearing to catch every word. The Merman King Yuan's deep, authoritative voice echoed in the empty hall: "Now, the outside world is in turmoil. If our Merman race wants to survive peacefully, we must strengthen our power. The Azure Sea Merman Tears are not only key to protecting our seas, but also the hope for elevating the cultivation levels of our strongest members."

An elderly merman minister replied with concern, “Your Majesty, the merman’s tears from the Azure Sea only appear once every thousand years. The last time they appeared was five hundred years ago. How can we find them now?”
