Chapter 367 The Mystery of the World

Long Xiaoyu nodded, "He came back and sent us a message saying that both my mother and father are doing well and asked us to practice quickly."

Xia Yueke couldn't help but feel heavy in her heart, but she heard him continue, "Also, take advantage of the impending disaster to ascend to heaven."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Even Qi An, who usually didn't care about anything, frowned. "It seems that this matter is not as simple as we thought."

Xia Yuke helped Long Xiaoyu sit on the seaweed bed and said, "I thought these droughts and undercurrents in the seabed ecosystem were just accidents, but it seems there's another reason.

Qian Jingyao pondered for a while, and as if he had made a decision, he raised his head and stared at Long Xiaoyu closely. "From now on, Long Xiaoyu, your mission is to quickly reach the twelfth level. Then, we will do our best to protect you during the thunder tribulation and allow you to successfully ascend. By then, all problems will be solved."

Qi An also nodded. "Qian Jingyao, Luo Cihe and I are now at the tenth level, Langce is at the eleventh level, and Qingyan is at the ninth level. You are the only one with the greatest hope of success and the one who can get closest to the truth. So, try not to worry about what happens next and leave it to us. Just practice every day and strive to break through as soon as possible."

Each of them looked extremely cautious, and it seemed that this matter was of great importance.

Xia Yuke also knew the seriousness of the matter. Perhaps the turning point lies in Long Xiaoyu. However, there is one thing: he will disappear directly after the breakthrough. Is there any danger?

Xia Yueke was still a little hesitant, but looking at their expressions, she said, "No matter what, if you really disappear, please protect yourself during that time, okay?"

Long Xiaoyu's heart moved, and his expression softened, "Okay, I will, and you must wait for me!"

Luo Cihe patted his shoulder and said like a good friend, "Of course, don't worry about this. During this period, no matter what happens, we will protect Keke well. We will also wait for you."

Xia Yueke just felt that what happened next was no longer what they could predict.

Although she had a glimmer of hope in her heart, she always felt something was wrong, especially what Long Xiaoyu said before the disaster.

If it is a disaster, then it must be a very serious natural disaster or man-made disaster. Now the Warcraft has retreated to the Misty Forest, and there is almost nothing that can stand on the heads of the orcs, so this option of man-made disaster is ruled out.

Perhaps this disaster was a natural disaster, what could it be? The drought alone was already pushing the orcs to the brink of despair.

The underwater ecology was also severely damaged. I heard from Xiyuan that because of the turmoil, many orcs living on the seabed died, and some races even migrated to land, but because they could not leave the water, they could only survive on the beach.

Xia Yueke wanted to continue thinking about it, but the more she thought, the more headache she got. She simply gave up and took it one step at a time.

It is not the worst result at the moment. At least I learned something very important from Long Xiaoyu. I didn’t expect that Long Xiaoyu is so tight-lipped and doesn’t say anything. But fortunately, he didn’t hide it this time. Maybe he was also half-believing and half-doubting.

After this was settled, Long Xiaoyu began to meditate and practice in the house. Since the problem of the underwater ecology had been solved, all that was left was to see the salt clams in a month.

As long as they get the Moon-Seeing Salt Clam and take away the scallop that stores fish species, the fresh water problem will be solved and they can return to the Fox Tribe.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuke began to look for the leader of the mermaid tribe, because the two mermaid orcs in the whirlpool had returned, and they said that they were both rescued by Long Xiaoyu.

The mermaid leader was very grateful, and they, who were already guests of honor, became even more popular among the mermaids.

Wherever Xia Yueke, Luo Cihe, Qi'an and others went, mermaids looked at them with gratitude or curiosity.

Xia Yueke came to the palace, where the clan leader, the two mermaids who were caught in the whirlpool, and Xiyuan were present.

As soon as Xiyuan saw Xia Yueke, he immediately ran over happily, with an unstoppable smile on his face:

"Sister Xia, thank you so much, you are really amazing. It's amazing to think that Aru and the others were able to escape from the whirlpool."

Xia Yueke waved her hand and said, "Thanks to Long Xiaoyu, I just found out. It turns out that he wanted to save people and also to destroy the source of the dark tide."

The tribe leader was talking to the two mermaids and didn't notice this. Xia Yueke only heard one of the mermaids with a thick tail say loudly:

"We, the clan leader, didn't know how we got out. We fell into a coma after being sucked in. When we woke up, the vortex had disappeared. Next to us was the dragon clan's distinguished guest, and we followed him back."

The clan leader had been frowning the entire time, but when he heard that the two of them were safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Thanks to them, when we get back, you must be well and thank that distinguished guest from the Dragon Clan."

The two mermaids nodded heavily and went out.

"Chief."

Xia Yueke walked forward and interrupted the patriarch's thoughts.

When the tribe leader saw Xia Yueke, his eyes lit up and a smile played on his lips. "It's you! I haven't thanked you yet. Your partner is incredible. He can not only save people but also destroy the source! It seems that our mermaid tribe was right about you. When I first saw you, I knew you had unlimited potential!"

Then, he was praised by the mermaid leader until Xi Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him, "Father, can you stop being so fake? Can't you get some practical benefits?"

The mermaid chief choked and glared at Xiyuan angrily. Well, nothing has happened yet and now he's starting to turn his elbows outward. He's starting to lecture him!

He is really shameless in not giving any practical benefits. However, as the patriarch, he really shouldn't be so stingy.

It is undeniable that the ocean was saved by their presence. The mermaid leader cleared his throat and said with a pained look:

"Well... I can give you a giant shell. It's the one you saw before. The one with the fish in it doesn't count. The giant shell I want to give you can be used as a house and can even shrink in size."

Xia Yueke hadn't expected any benefits, but she didn't expect the mermaid leader to give her a giant shell as a gift. It could be used as a house. That would be great. They were going back home and had to sleep outdoors. Wouldn't it be very convenient to have a portable, zoomable house?

Xia Yueke nodded immediately, not bothering to be polite with him, and grinned happily: "Thank you so much, generous clan leader!"

She had heard Xiyuan explain about this giant shell. There were only a handful of them on the entire seabed. It was an important asset and treasure of their mermaid tribe. It was rarely given to outsiders. Only the great contributors to the mermaid tribe could get it. Not even Xiyuan had one.
