Chapter 35
The original location of Dragon Breath Lake is the location of the lake that was activated when everyone entered. However, a long time ago, the mermaids who settled here would be harassed by other monsters in the secret realm from time to time. There was even one time when the younger generation of mermaids were in the differentiation period, and some monsters with clever noses would take the opportunity to attack them.
The elders of the mermaids later arranged advanced formations around Dragon Breath Lake in some unknown way. Since then, no monsters have entered Dragon Breath Lake to hunt mermaids who have not yet differentiated.
However, the formations set up by the elders not only trapped the monsters from outside, but also restricted the little mermaids from going out. All the little mermaids who had not yet differentiated could not open the formation between Dragon Breath Lake and the outside world by their own ability.
The arrival of Jiang Yunmiao and his party brought a lot of information from the outside world to the mermaids living in Dragon Breath Lake.
Dragon Breath Lake has a special geographical location, and the formation originally set up outside Dragon Breath Lake is sealed with a formation unique to the mermaids. For so many years, no outsiders have ever entered.
I heard from several older mermaids in the mermaids that many years ago, there were occasionally immortal cultivators who broke into the formation that Jiang Yunmiao and his party had been trapped in, but these people were generally divided into two categories.
One is that they encountered a lake monster in the lake and couldn't defeat it, so they used a special formation to teleport away from here.
Another is that the group found a way out of the black forest surrounding Longxi Lake and successfully left here.
The mermaids in Longxi Lake were not sure who these immortal cultivators were, so they didn't dare to show up on their own initiative. Therefore, for so many years, the elders of the tribe have found many ways but still couldn't leave the secret realm of the South China Sea.
Hearing his tribesmen say this, Xie Wuyu subconsciously turned his gaze to Jiang Yunmiao.
However, at this time, Jiang Yunmiao was secretly looking at the young mermaids in the mermaid tribe who had just differentiated not long ago, and did not notice Xie Wuyu's actions.
[Hiss... As expected of the mermaids, each of them is, wow, beautiful...]
[I simply can't imagine how happy and cheerful I would be if I could live a life surrounded by such beauty every day when I wake up! ]
Considering that the mermaids in Longxi Lake have been disconnected from the outside world for too many years, Xiao Chenbei thoughtfully sent all the disciples away to leave enough time for Xie Wuyu and the mermaid chief to communicate alone.
While Xie Wuyu was chatting privately with the mermaid chief, Jiang Yunmiao was surrounded by a group of young mermaids who had just been differentiated.
"Sister, can you tell me what it's like outside now? I've lived here since I was born, and I've never seen what it's like outside." The little mermaid with long curly golden hair blinked his eyes, came up to Jiang Yunmiao, and began to tease Jiang Yunmiao very deliberately.
His eyes were blue, which was unique to the mermaids, and they looked very good. Coupled with his long golden hair and delicate face, even though he saw her flat chest, Jiang Yunmiao couldn't help but think of the little mermaid in The Daughter of the Sea.
When the other mermaids saw his actions, they immediately rushed to Jiang Yunmiao's side, pretending to be more innocent than the other.
Jiang Yunmiao had never seen such a scene before, and immediately began to transform into a storyteller and tell stories to the little mermaids.
When Jiang Yunmiao was hugging him, Xie Wuyu had already thoroughly understood with the leader of the mermaid tribe about the years of wandering in the South China Sea Secret Realm. However, Xie Wuyu had no idea how to lead the mermaids trapped in the South China Sea Secret Realm out.
The jade cards carried by all the disciples who entered the South China Sea Secret Realm had special materials engraved on them, which bound these jade cards to these disciples one-to-one. The teleportation formation generated after the jade cards were broken could only teleport the disciples to whom the jade cards belonged.
Before all the disciples entered, Jiang Yifei repeatedly emphasized that the disciples who entered the South Sea Secret Realm must keep their jade cards and crush the jade cards before the South Sea Secret Realm was closed within half a month. If the jade cards were lost or they did not come out before the passage between the South Sea Secret Realm and the outside world was closed, they would be trapped in the South Sea Secret Realm. If
they did not crush the jade cards before the passage was closed, it would be fine. As long as they waited in the South Sea Secret Realm for the next passage to open, they could still get out by crushing the jade cards. But if the jade cards were lost, they would be trapped in the secret realm forever.
After hearing what Xie Wuyu said, the chief of the mermaid tribe comforted him in a very peaceful state of mind: "It's okay if you can't find a way out. Our tribe has lived here for hundreds of years, and now it's pretty good. I thought I would never get any news from my tribe before the sound, but now that I've met you, I don't have any regrets anymore."
"Speaking of which, your aura... is there an accident during the differentiation period?" The chief could feel the confusion of Xie Wuyu's aura.
His hand reached out to Xie Wuyu's, groping inch by inch. The more he explored, the deeper his brows wrinkled.
"Your current bone age has not even reached the differentiation period, why did you suddenly enter the differentiation period?" The chief was a little puzzled.
Xie Wuyu shook his head, he didn't know either.
It was not until the patriarch asked Xie Wuyu to transform into a mermaid and checked the tiny patterns on his ear fins that his expression suddenly changed: "Before you came into Dragon's Breath Lake, did you run into the Fragrance Mist Beast outside the Lake? And you also devoured its flesh and blood?"
Xie Wuyu was a little confused: "Fragrance Mist Beast?"
After seeing Xie Wuyu's expression and explaining, the patriarch simply raised his hand and waved, and the lake monster that Xie Wuyu had previously killed in Dragon's Breath Lake immediately appeared in the air: "That's it."
Xie Wuyu nodded.
After receiving the information confirmed by Xie Wuyu, the expression of the clan leader immediately became serious: "The flesh and blood of the Fragrant Mist Beast can be used to improve the cultivation of mermaids, and it has a natural temptation to the mermaids. I specially raised the Fragrant Mist Beast in Longxi Lake, just in case a mermaid comes here one day and finds the formation at the bottom of the lake to find us."
"But the Fragrant Mist Beast will cause changes in the body of young mermaids that have not yet entered the differentiation period. Once they are tempted by lust after being swallowed, they will enter the differentiation period early. I saw that among the people who came in with you, there was a little girl with the aura of mermaid differentiation. I'm afraid she infected you?"
When the clan leader mentioned Jiang Yunmiao, Xie Wuyu's cheeks flushed slightly, but he still nodded gently: "I see."
"The medicinal properties of the Fragrant Mist Beast will remain in the body of a mermaid for three days. You have to be careful these few days. The mermaids are in the differentiation period..." The clan leader was about to continue instructing Xie Wu Yu, but suddenly felt a strange breath coming, and hurriedly shouted.
"Junior Sister Xie... I... Senior Brother Xiao asked me to come and find you." After being discovered by the clan leader, Xu Ling'er stood up nervously, her face flushed, and she wanted to explain.
Xie Wu Yu nodded, ended the conversation with the clan leader, and followed Xu Ling'er to find Xiao Chenbei.
Along the way, the two were silent.
When they were almost there, Xu Ling'er finally couldn't help but speak: "Junior Sister Xie, I didn't mean it just now... It's just that Senior Brother Xiao asked me to come and find you, so..."
Xie Wuyu smiled gently: "It's okay."
Just then, Xiao Chenbei came to find Xie Wuyu. After seeing Xie Wuyu, he nodded to her and motioned Xie Wuyu to follow him.
Xie Wuyu had just taken two steps in the direction of Xiao Chenbei when Xu Ling'er suddenly called her: "Junior Sister Xie... is it almost the differentiation period?"
For mermaids, the differentiation period is a topic with personal privacy, so Xie Wuyu frowned and did not answer, but walked straight towards the direction of Xiao Chenbei.
Xiao Chenbei was looking for Xie Wuyu mainly because when he was wandering in the forest outside Longxi Lake just now, he actually discovered that there seemed to be a paradise in the forest.
Generally, if they encounter such an ownerless paradise in a secret realm, Xiao Chenbei will naturally take his disciples to explore it. If they are lucky, they can find some opportunities inside.
However, this is the habitat of the mermaids, and the location of the paradise is not far from Longxi Lake. Xiao Chenbei still hopes that Xie Wuyu can ask the clan leader about it.
Xie Wuyu nodded and agreed without thinking about Xiao Chenbei's request.
He had not had time to ask the clan leader about some changes in his body after entering the differentiation period, so he could go over and ask about the paradise now.
Compared to Xie Wuyu and Xiao Chenbei, who were both focused on their work, Jiang Yunmiao was enjoying herself so much that she didn't want to leave.
Surrounded by the mermen with admiring eyes, she was completely immersed in the praises of "Wow", "Great", "Oh my God, is this how it is?" from the mermaids, and couldn't help herself at all.
Until the familiar voice of the Tugou system came online: [...Sizzle...%￥￥...%￥#...System monitoring...]
[Detected...￥&%&￥&￥]
[...Sizzle...&￥%...#]
Ever since the system issued Jiang Yunmiao the main task of helping Xie Wuyu complete differentiation, the system seemed to be offline, and Jiang Yunmiao didn't respond no matter how she called.
This time, it suddenly appeared, and there was a busy tone that seemed like a malfunction. Jiang Yunmiao was startled, and had a bad feeling.
Fortunately, the busy tone of the system disappeared quickly, and the system returned to its usual sound. Even the system, which had not condensed a physical body for a long time, condensed a physical body again after the busy tone disappeared.
[Wow, host, I suddenly had a program failure these two days, and was sent back to the main god space to upgrade. Nothing else happened to you these two days? Hey - how come this main task is so much earlier? ]
Seeing the yellow ball jumping in front of him, Jiang Yunmiao's heart finally returned to its original place. Just as he was about to reminisce with the Tugou system, he heard the Tugou system issuing a new task.
[Main storyline mission release: When Xie Wu Yu entered the differentiation period, he confessed to the male protagonist Xiao Chenbei and said the following lines: Brother Chenbei, I am a very impatient person. I get bored of many things after a long time, but I like you more and more the more I see you.]
Jiang Yunmiao's brows wrinkled as much as they could pinch a merman to death when he heard this: [It's not the system. You haven't been seen for so long, and you have a big poop as soon as you come out, right? Listen to this earthy line, it's too embarrassing, isn't it? I can't say it anyway...]
The earthy dog system blinked its round eyes and acted cute at Jiang Yunmiao: [Think about your 50 billion after completing the mission, and you can say it.]
Jiang Yunmiao's brows flattened instantly: [Now that you say that, it doesn't seem so earthy anymore. 】
