"But Brother Junyu is amazing too. He killed all those monsters in no time."
Xiao Yuan clenched her fist, then looked at the still-dry black waterway on the ground with some disgust. "Grandpa, what are these things? They're disgusting."
“Those, if I’m not mistaken, should be sea creatures, the merfolk,” said the Phoenix Ancestor, letting out a soft sigh.
"Mermaids? There's such a race?"
Junran's expression turned serious at this moment. "Why have I never heard of it?"
While they weren't very familiar with the creatures in the Endless Wilderness, they weren't completely ignorant of them either.
If those terrifying black rains were to actually appear in the human world, they would surely bring immense crisis. The devastation of the trees along the way is nothing short of utter devastation.
"Actually, the merfolk didn't look like this back then. Before the ocean was controlled by the demons, they were the most beautiful beings among the sea creatures."
As the Phoenix Ancestor spoke, a look of reminiscence and regret appeared in his eyes, "The tears of mermaids are even more invaluable treasures. Unfortunately, after the pillar of Buzhou Mountain broke, the space within the Endless Ruins was occupied by the Demon Race, and the sea has since faded from the sight of the world."
"ocean…"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yu and Jun Ran exchanged a glance. "If I remember correctly, the sea only exists in myths."
They had traveled all the way from the royal kingdom without ever seeing the sea, because the sea had been occupied by the demons and become their private property.
"Yes, nowadays, almost no one in the mortal realm knows that the sea exists."
The Phoenix Ancestor nodded and said, "As for that black water, it is the seawater of the Endless Sea of Sin."
"Seawater? Seawater is such a terrifying thing?" Junran and Junyu were both shocked.
"The sea was not like that before it became the territory of the demons, but now the entire sea area is filled with demonic energy, and the seawater has changed."
The Phoenix Ancestor said, "Mermaids are sea creatures. Although they can live on land temporarily, they cannot leave the sea permanently. That is why they carry Black Rain around."
"So that's how it is, no wonder."
At this moment, Junran nodded and said, "It is quite a long distance from here to the border of the human demon-sealing battlefield. If the black rain drifts all the way there, it will probably evaporate before it even reaches the destination."
"So that's why humans have never seen a mermaid."
Jun Yu said with some relief, "Mermaids who leave the sea can't reach the border. Similarly, Black Rain, which consumes too much energy, can't amount to anything even if it reaches the border."
"Although I don't know much about the current state of humanity, if that's really the case, it's basically the same as what you're saying."
The Phoenix Clan had been sealed away for a long time, so they naturally didn't know much about the outside world, and the boundaries of the Demon Sealing Battlefield were also unclear. However, some things could be gleaned from their conversation.
"So what should we do now?"
At this moment, Jun Yu spoke up, "The entire mermaid squad has been wiped out by us. I'm afraid the Endless Sea of Sin has already received the news. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise we will likely face a massive manhunt."
The ocean is an existence that was born with this world. With such an ancient and long history, it is certain that it contains far more than just ordinary beings like mermaids.
