Chapter 196

The high priest was too lazy to talk nonsense. These two people knew her secret, and she would never let them leave here alive.

She raised her hands to the moon sky, and used the power of the moonlight to drive the tide.

Ye Jingyue held Murong Mingzhu's hand tightly and said to her: "Stand behind me first, don't be afraid."

Murong Mingzhu was shaking all over.

How could

she not be afraid? Water appeared around her from nowhere.

Lots of water.

It came out of the soil, just a little at first, then a lot, and now it has formed a huge wave.

The high priest's cold eyes were filled with wanton cruelty.

"Do you know how we mermaids kill people?"

"We push you humans into the water, then hold you in the water and drown you."

"Today, this is your fate."

As soon as she finished speaking, the huge waves rolled directly towards Ye Jingyue and Murong Mingzhu, trying to pull them into the water.

As long as they entered the water, they would be toys of the high priest.

She would slowly drown them.

Watching them suffocate little by little in the water.

Then, they would be eaten by fish.

It was so satisfying!

Fortunately, Gu Jingchen was outside, so he watched the huge waves that formed and surrounded Ye Jingyue and Murong Mingzhu.

And then they were directly washed away.

He couldn't get in, and he shouted anxiously outside.

"Yue'er, are you okay?"

Ye Jingyue heard Gu Jingchen's voice. She was originally thinking about how to get out, but she smiled instantly.

Following Gu Jingchen's voice, she threw out a rope directly. The rope had penetrating power and went straight through the water curtain and came to the other side, where it was firmly grasped by Gu Jingchen.

Ye Jingyue tied this end of the rope to Murong Mingzhu.

Then she shouted to Gu Jingchen.

"Cousin, pull!"

Gu Jingchen heard it and pulled quickly to pull the person in the water curtain out.

Murong Mingzhu felt her body lighten and was pulled away. She subconsciously pulled Ye Jingyue's hand to bring Ye Jingyue out.

But Ye Jingyue dodged.

"Don't worry, you hide outside, I'll go to the bottom of the water with her."

Murong Mingzhu's pupils widened in disbelief.

She seemed to not believe what she heard.

Ye Jingyue said she wanted to go to the bottom of the water to take a look .

What does that mean

? It can't be what she thought it meant.

"No, you will drown!"

In Murong Mingzhu's cognition, mermaids can swim freely in the water, after all, they are fish.

But Ye Jingyue is a human!

She can stay in the water for a while, but if she stays in the water for a long time, she will definitely drown.

Will die!

Is this a joke?

However, what responded to her was the picture of Ye Jingyue being swept into the bottom of the water by the huge waves.

Her eyes were bloodshot!

"Ye Jingyue!"

Gu Jingchen also saw Ye Jingyue being swept into the bottom of the water.

After he pulled Murong Mingzhu out, he quickly untied the rope and threw it back again. The rope quickly wrapped around Ye Jingyue, and the other end was wrapped around his waist.

So, he was also dragged into the water along with Ye Jingyue.

Ye Jingyue was surprised to see Gu Jingchen rushing out without a care in the world.

But she quickly pulled the rope and hugged Gu Jingchen tightly.

And she stuffed a pill into Gu Jingchen's mouth.

[My cousin is too reckless!]

[Fortunately, I have water-repellent beads!]

[This water-repellent bead allows my cousin to breathe freely underwater for two hours. 】

【My cousin risked his life to save me, I am so moved!】

The huge waves were like ferocious beasts, sweeping them mercilessly.

Their bodies rose and fell in the surging waves, dragged by the powerful force.

Every impact of the huge waves made them lose their balance, and the two were swallowed into the bottomless abyss.

They struggled to grab something, but there was only surging sea water around them, leaving them with nowhere to rely on, and they could only hug each other tightly. Fortunately,

Ye Jingyue's water-repellent beads were very effective, and Gu Jingchen could breathe freely in the water, and his life was guaranteed.

The two were directly swept into the deepest part of the lake.

This lake in the bamboo forest seems small, but it is very deep.

There is a secret passage under the water that leads directly to the deep sea.

Ye Jingyue and Gu Jingchen were swept into the deep sea by the waves controlled by the high priest.

Ye Jingyue said to Gu Jingchen, "Cousin, don't be afraid."

Gu Jingchen hugged Ye Jingyue tightly.

Because of the water-repellent beads, there was sea water all around, and his clothes were dry. He and Ye Jingyue were at the bottom of the water, like a small boat, being held up, floating up and down.

To be honest, it was quite comfortable.

It was like swinging on a swing under the water.

The water-repellent beads were really magical.

But Gu Jingchen was very sensible, and he would not ask questions.

An incense stick of time had passed since the two were swept under the water.

The high priest's graceful figure swam to their side and looked at them sternly.

"Who are you and why can you breathe underwater? You are not human,"

the high priest was surprised.

Humans can't breathe underwater.

These two can not only breathe underwater, but also talk.

Their bodies are dry.

These two don't look like humans.

But they are not mermaids either.

Intuitively, the problem lies with Ye Jingyue.

"So, who are you?"

Ye Jingyue pulled Gu Jingchen underwater and smiled at the high priest.

"Guess what species we are?"

The high priest closed his eyes, his long fish tail swaying.

"I don't care what species you are. Since you are not human, you should know the greed and selfishness of humans. Why do you help them?"

In the eyes of the high priest, Ye Jingyue is not a human at all.

Since he is not a human, he is an alien.

Aliens all hate humans!

We must fight against humans together!

But Ye Jingyue obviously stands on the side of humans!

Ye Jingyue shook her head.

"Is it possible? I am not helping humans, I am helping you."

The high priest was stunned, and a trace of confusion seemed to flash across his beautiful face.

"You help me."

Ye Jingyue nodded, and then explained and persuaded him with emotion and reason.

"You mermaids live in the South China Sea, which is a pure land. Humans may take risks to collect mermaid pearls. But they do not have the ability to harm you mermaids, right? Why do you have to travel so far and leave your homeland to take revenge on humans?"

Just the means displayed by the high priest.

It is not something that humans can match.

What's more, the South China Sea is the territory of mermaids.

Humans have to be careful when collecting mermaid pearls there to prevent being harmed by mermaids.

After all, mermaids are not easy to get along with.

The high priest seemed to have some bad memories, and his blue eyes showed a monstrous hatred.

"Because humans are mean, mean, and shameless!"

"Humans should not exist in this world, they are the shame of this world!"
