Chapter 098 Heart of the Ocean 8

The boat was swaying slightly on the sea.

This was a natural sea canyon. In the distance, there were dozens of boats with lights on, searching for something underwater.

Only this boat stopped.

The four or five people on the boat stared at Yu Nuo who emerged from the water. They seemed to be drawn away by their souls, and they all rushed to Yu Nuo.

They all smelled the faint fragrance on Yu Nuo.

"We are here to look for the wreckage of the Elizabeth on His Majesty's orders," one of them said, lowering his voice for fear of alarming the seemingly timid mermaid in front of him. "Do you know the Elizabeth? It's a cruise ship, a very large one."

He looked at Yu Mi's water-stained face with just the right amount of bewilderment, and his fragrant breath gently touched her face.

These people had never seen a living mermaid before, and at most they had only seen mermaids bought by nobles on TV.

But they were very sure that even those mermaids on TV that were sought after by nobles were not as beautiful as the mermaid in front of them.

Someone had evil intentions.

A wild, beautiful mermaid was now defenselessly hanging on the side of the ship, with no vigilance towards them.

This is a great opportunity to catch a mermaid.

The two people at the back looked at each other silently and nodded to each other secretly.

The Leviathan under the water moved its tail angrily, but still held back.

Because it was dark, the humans did not notice anything unusual under the water.

Yu Nuo neither nodded nor shook her head, but tilted her head slightly and looked at the humans on the boat with pretended curiosity.

"He can't understand what we're saying, can he?"

"But can't mermaids understand what humans say?"

"Look at him, he should still be a little mermaid who has just grown up. It's normal that he can't understand, right?"

"That's right, how can a mermaid take the initiative to lie on a human boat."

The moon emitted a little light, gently sprinkled around the hull, illuminating Yu Nuo's fish tail gently swaying underwater, and the scales emitted a faint glow.

The humans looked at each other knowingly, and suppressed their dark thoughts.

"Here," someone came forward and picked up the net bag, "This is the net bag. Because the Elizabeth sank, His Majesty asked us to salvage all the wreckage."

The first batch of professional salvage teams had already salvaged the main part of the hull ashore, and they were just here to clean up the remaining debris.

After the human explained, he paused deliberately and smiled with an ambiguous smile, "Of course there is something more important, which is to find people."

"The people above think that you mermaids killed all the humans on the ship, so they asked us to find survivors... By the way, we just need to catch mermaids as soon as we see them."

He thought Yu Nuo didn't understand, but Yu Nuo heard it clearly.

They are here to catch mermaids again.

However, they should be just the "advance team". Their quiet actions tonight should be just to find traces of the mermaid's actions.

The real team to capture the mermaid is still behind.

The human looked at the silly little mermaid in front of him, and he felt evil in his heart. He couldn't help but coax her and fumbled out a small dried fish and put it in front of Yu Nu.

"No, I'll give you this to eat. Will you come with us?"

Yu Nu:...

"Do they think I'm a fool?" Yu Nu complained to System 08, "I'm not a child, how can I be fooled by food?"

System 08 looked at Yu Nu's slightly twitching nose and her fingers rubbing back and forth... and didn't say anything.

But although the dried fish tasted delicious, Yu Nu was not really fooled so easily.

"There are more than a dozen boats in total. We can't let them continue searching here."

Leviathan under the sea was ready to move, and was about to swallow all the small sesame seeds on the sea surface into his stomach.

Yu Xi swept Leviathan's head with the tip of his tail, telling him not to be reckless.

The mermaids had told him about the unique abilities of mermaids before, but Yu Xi had been using the Heart of the Ocean since he came to this copy, and had never used other abilities.

The singing of mermaids is said to be able to confuse people's hearts.

...Really?

Yu Xi held the boat tighter, staring straight at the human who was delivering the fish to him. His dark eyes reflected the human's face, and he smiled obediently as if he was defenseless.

The human who delivered the fish suddenly felt his heart beating.

At the same time, the whistling sea breeze seemed to disappear, and no sound could be heard around.

The conversation behind me was interrupted.

Almost everyone on the sea heard an extremely unfamiliar, but extremely beautiful song:

- "Leap into the blue."

- "I will jump in, if you will jump in like me."

- "Believe me, no doubt."

- "You know I will jump in too."*

The small fish in the hand fell straight into the water, causing layers of ripples.

The human closest to Yu Nu seemed to be in a nightmare, staring at Yu Nu's face, and his palm couldn't help but move over to touch Yu Nu's wet cheek.

Yu Xi was startled, and her tail swayed rapidly under the water for a few times. Her hair was immersed in the water again as she moved, and the whole fish jumped into the water from the side of the boat with a "plop".

However, those humans who were seduced by the mermaid's singing did not escape so easily.

The singing stopped abruptly, and the humans on the boat jumped down desperately as if they were crazy, and the water surface made "plop plop" sounds one after another. The

originally silent deep sea struggled with a few humans, and the water surface was full of waves.

Yu Xi was afraid of being caught by them. After being frightened, she swam hurriedly to Leviathan who was lurking on the seabed, grabbed the fish's fins with her fingers, and urged him to go faster.

I just hummed a few lines of a song... Why would there be such a big reaction?

Leviathan obediently revealed its soft fins from the ground, gently lifted Yu Ling to sit on its back, and flew away.

The movement here finally alarmed the other boats.

The humans who were still immersed in the singing woke up one after another. The few humans who jumped into the water looked pale and spit out saliva several times.

The people on other boats jumped down and pulled the people ashore, but there were still a few unconscious humans in the water who struggled desperately, pushing people away and trying to swim deeper to find Yu Xi.

This went on for a long time, and the people on the boat no longer had the energy to look for other mermaids.

"Just now... that was..." The last human who was pulled up finally woke up, his face was pale, he spit out a mouthful of sea water, his voice was hoarse, and his eyes gradually became clear.

The people beside him had gloomy expressions, "Mermaid."

"And it's not just a simple mermaid, it has a strong ability to control the mind."

"If he hadn't left in time, you would have drowned now." There was

a dead silence all around.

"But..." Another person who was pulled up explained with a breath, "He looks like a young mermaid who has just grown up... How could he have such a strong ability to control?"

Even if it was an adult mermaid, it would be impossible for them to be confused by just a few songs and jump into the water like a lost mind, and not wake up even if they were about to drown.

Thinking of Yu Nu's innocent face just now, several people couldn't help but feel a little scared.

.

"...I won't sing anymore in the future." Yu Nu said gloomily.

Leviathan beside him was sticking to Yu Nu as if to comfort her, making gurgling sounds from his mouth.

System 08 was very calm, [They jumped into the sea because they were lured by your voice. In a sense, this is also a very powerful ability.]

Yu Nu now feels a little scared when she thinks about the scene of being chased by several humans like crazy. She sat on the reef and sniffed, feeling her skin a little dry from the wind, and slowly dived into the sea again.

The night passed and it was the next day.

——Soon it would be the day when Archimonde left.

Yu Nu secretly observed Archimonde for a while, and became more and more certain that he was one of the players. He became more and more friendly to people, and even often invited people out to play.

The other mermaids were indignant and didn't understand why the king would choose this "ordinary-looking" human.

Of course, it wasn't a liking for him, but Yu Zhen just wanted to get closer to him and form a partnership.

"I'm leaving Atlantis tomorrow," Archimonde said to Yu Zhen, "Aren't you worried that I'll break my promise?"

Yu Zhen pretended to be fierce and threatened him, "Carlo told me before that us mermaids can grow legs."

He paused and continued, "If you dare to break your promise, I'll turn into a human and catch you on the shore!"

Archimonde almost laughed out loud.

"And your ring," Yu Zhen raised a finger and vowed, "If you don't complete the task, I'll throw this ring away."

This is a ring that symbolizes the honor of the Archimonde family. He must value the ring very much.

Archimonde's eyes were always fixed on Yu Wen, who had a rich expression on her face. He suddenly said, "Heart of the Ocean."

Yu Wen said, "Hmm?" and raised her hand blankly, "Are you talking about the ring?"

"No," Archimonde said, pointing to Yu Wen's chest, "The scales here."

Yu Wen's heart skipped a beat.

Archimonde seemed not to notice Yu Wen's guard, with a relaxed smile and curiosity on his face. He asked casually, "The scales here... I've seen it once and never again. The last time I heard you guys talking about it, what was it called... Heart of the Ocean?"

He smiled and said casually, "It's exactly the same name as my ring. What a coincidence."

Seeing that Yu Wen didn't say anything, Archimonde struck while the iron was hot and asked, " How can I know? This Heart of the Ocean...what's different about it?"

Yu Zhen felt a chill on her chest and quickly raised her hands to cover them tightly, "No, it's just, it's just scales that symbolize my identity."

As if she felt that her actions were too stressful, Yu Zhen immediately added, "It's just my unique scales, in order to let other mermaids recognize my identity."

Archimonde seemed to believe it and didn't ask any more questions.

The two wandered in the red algae forest for a long time before Archimonde spoke again, "Do you want to go ashore with me?"

This time it was Yu Zhen's turn to be at a loss.

"Although the sea is beautiful, I'm sorry to say," Archimonde said, "it's not even one ten-thousandth of the human world."

"I've lived in the palace since I was a child, so I can assure you that if you come ashore with me, I will let you live the most comfortable life."

Archimonde raised his chin slightly, and because of his height, his line of sight was looking down at Yu Yu from above.

"Don't you want to be friends with me? Come with me to the palace, and we will become the most 'intimate' friends."

Archimonde emphasized the word "intimate" and looked at Yu Yu with deep eyes.
