Chapter 092 Heart of the Ocean 2
Today is the 10th anniversary cruise of the Elizabeth.
The Elizabeth was born on the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor, and is the first royal open cruise ship in the interstellar space. Therefore, on the 10th anniversary and the birthday of His Majesty, the Elizabeth opened up the luxury seats and invited many nobles in the interstellar space to celebrate His Majesty's birthday on the Elizabeth.
It is hard to get a ticket.
"There are many fishing boats in this sea area, most of which are mermaid fishing boats," the man put down his binoculars and explained to the tall man beside him who was dressed in extraordinary clothes, "We have tried our best to keep the fishing boats away, but the temptation of mermaids is huge, and there are still many fishing boats on the sea... I hope you can understand."
With a deep blue gem on his finger, the man nodded indifferently and asked casually: "There are so many fishing boats here, is it because there are many mermaids in this sea area?"
"That's right," the person next to him said quickly, lowering his head slightly and not daring to look him in the face, "You know, mermaids are hard to find nowadays, and they are priceless. Just ordinary mermaids can be sold at sky-high prices... and this sea area is the habitat of the mermaid royal family, There are a lot of fishing boats here every day. For them, catching a royal mermaid can guarantee the wealth of their descendants. "
The man touched the dark blue gem on his finger, his eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes. There
are countless distinguished guests on the Elizabeth today. After explaining a few words to the man, the captain retreated with trepidation to entertain other guests.
He only vaguely learned from the gossip that the identity of this man named "A" is unusual and seems to be related to the royal family, so he put all his energy into dealing with it.
But after all, it was just gossip, and the captain couldn't really spend all his energy on this person.
After all, the other guests were also very important.
The sea was rough, and amid the roaring waves, the nobles on the deck were talking in low voices in twos and threes, and bursts of laughter were heard from time to time.
Many people, like A, were looking at the boundless sea through binoculars.
In the distance, the pale golden sunlight with its afterglow sprinkled on the sea, reflecting the deep blue sky at the junction.
- Until someone suddenly shouted loudly on the deck on the other side.
Everyone frowned, because shouting loudly in public was not aristocratic etiquette.
"Captain! Captain! There is something behind the reef in the distance!"
Something?
Before everyone could react, they heard the man's excited voice from afar, "I see it clearly! Oh my god! It's a mermaid!"
As humans continue to expand their civilization to the stars, human mental power has evolved into the most important thing in the long process of civilization. However, mental power is consumed quickly and difficult to replenish, causing many people to currently suffer from incurable mental power disorder.
Mermaids are the only known method that can greatly improve mental power recovery and even cure mental power disorder.
The deck was quiet for a moment, and then countless nobles raised their telescopes and looked in the direction of the reef in the direction of the speaker.
The people around A also became restless, but A did not move, and they did not dare to react.
A raised the telescope, adjusted the lens distance, and slowly aimed at the reef.
The reef was very high, and was surrounded by seaweed that had been washed up, so other fishing boats failed to discover that there were several mermaids hiding here.
The deck of the Elizabeth was higher, and the nobles only needed to turn the telescope to easily see several outstanding mermaids hiding behind the reef.
One, two, three, four... eight.
A total of eight mermaids.
Mermaids are rare, but the nobles present have more or less seen or even bought mermaids.
But this time the mermaids were obviously different from those they had seen before.
The overly superior appearance, the beautiful fish tail that was faintly visible under the water... all of these showed their special status.
- Royal mermaids.
The voices of people were getting louder and louder, and they could be heard faintly by A.
"Did you see that black-haired mermaid sandwiched between other mermaids?" "I saw
it at first sight. Oh my god... She's so beautiful."
"Even among mermaids, such a face is very rare, right?"
"Captain! Can our ship try to catch these mermaids?"
Mermaids have a wide range of uses. In addition to the most common use of relieving mental power, mermaids' tears can form the most precious pearls, and mermaids' scales are the hardest weapon material in the empire.
... And the appearance and special physiological structure of mermaids destined them to have a role in bed.
Greed was infinitely magnified. The nobles stared at the mermaids in the distance with great interest, and their eyes were uncontrollably focused on the little mermaid protected by the mermaids in the middle.
A beautiful and pure black-haired mermaid.
The nobles could not wait any longer and urged the captain to act immediately.
The captain had never caught a mermaid before, but under the urging of the nobles, he could not help but be tempted.
The royal mermaid... that is the mermaid that is said to be worth a fortune.
No one is not greedy.
The greedy captain commanded the sailors to speed up and head straight for the reef amid the crazy cheers of the nobles.
The people around A exchanged glances and asked if they wanted to intervene in this matter, but A only shook his head slightly in response.
Although the Elizabeth had no experience in catching mermaids, it was clear that many sailors on board had participated in this lucrative activity. Under the leadership of the captain, they were full of fighting spirit and took out their spare hunting equipment.
"Mermaids are very strong, especially adult male mermaids. Traditional fishing nets can't control them at all."
"The usual hunting options are electric nets or special spear guns."
A noble asked nervously, "Are you going to use special spear guns? Will it leave a wound on the mermaid's tail?"
Leaving a wound would not be beautiful.
The experienced sailor rubbed his hands and chuckled, "Don't worry, mermaids recover quickly, and the special harpoon guns won't leave scars on them."
And in the distant reefs, Yu Xi was diving deep underwater surrounded by three mermaids, her long tail casting rippling water patterns.
The sun had already set, leaving only the mighty sounds of unknown whales on the dark purple sea.
Several crew members moved quickly to throw down the electric grid.
The electric grid sank into the water and disappeared completely. It was difficult to see in the darkness. The four mermaids who were left behind could not help but become alert and their swimming speed slowed down a lot.
The floating jellyfish rose and fell in the darkness, flashing beautiful blue halos.
The Elizabeth had laid a net in the water. Both the four mermaids who were left behind and the mermaid who left quickly with Yu Nan had already been surrounded by the invisible electric grid.
The mermaid with dark skin was named Carlo. His dark brown tail flashed a sharp light in the deep sea, and his palms slowly turned into sharp claws covered with scales.
They were all brave warriors among the mermaids.
Electric nets are one of the common tools for catching mermaids. Carlo and his group of mermaids are already very skilled at it. They swing their long tails to separate the electric nets in the dark.
After a long genetic selection by nature, mermaids who can still live in the deep sea are no longer the weak creatures that cannot take care of themselves as stereotyped.
Yu Xi was not used to the newly grown tail at first, but she had to try her best to catch up with other mermaids because she was afraid of being left behind. Her
long black hair, as soft as seaweed, was scattered around her waist, and her mermaid skin was dazzlingly white in the dark deep sea.
It is said that the more beautiful the mermaid is, the more beautiful her singing voice is, and the stronger her ability to heal her spirit is.
The bubbles from the fish spit out from the bottom of the sea gurgled. The three mermaids who were protecting Yu Nu were not interested in fighting. They left in a hurry under the cover of the other four mermaids, with the mission of escorting Yu Nu back to the palace.
The crew members on the Elizabeth saw that the fallen electric grid was cleaned up by the mermaids in the blink of an eye, and soon three more electric grids fell.
"The scales of the royal mermaids are particularly sharp. Isn't the voltage of the traditional electric grid not enough for you?"
A noble kindly reminded them, and the crew members immediately understood and pulled the switch down a few gears.
Hearing that the cruise ship was catching mermaids, the deck was already crowded with people, holding special night telescopes to observe the situation on the seabed.
The sharp-eyed noble pointed at the shimmering waves in the distance and said, "That black-haired mermaid is going to run away!"
The voltage of the newly laid electric grid has been pulled to the maximum. The stupid fish will die almost instantly if they collide with it.
In the blink of an eye, a layer of fish with their stomachs turned upside down floated on the dark sea.
The electric grid was constantly shrinking the space, and Carlo was unfortunately caught because he had just dealt with the electric grid the most.
The three mermaids surrounding it wanted to use the scales on their tails to tear the electric grid apart, but the current was too strong, and it was difficult to resist even if they were wrapped in hard scales.
Carlo's tail had been entangled in the electric grid, and the crackling sound of the current rang along his tail, carrying a tiny flash of electricity. Carlo's face turned pale in pain, and his lips moved slightly.
The nobles on the ship were not satisfied with just catching Carlo.
Most of them had already set their sights on the smallest and most beautiful mermaid with black hair and black eyes.
"Use the harpoon! Use the harpoon!"
The captain acted decisively and quickly gave orders to the crew.
Because the most precious royal mermaids live in this sea area, in order to avoid overhunting, the empire strictly prohibits fishing boats from using guns to kill mermaids in this sea area.
However, many of the nobles on the Elizabeth were involved with the royal family, and with their approval, this rule was tacitly ignored.
The sharp harpoon flashed with a cold light, and was held in the palm of the crew's hand, steadily aimed at Yu Mu's blue fish tail.
Carlo, who had long been entangled by the power grid in the deep sea, could no longer bear it, tensed his body and let go of the sound.
The singing of mermaids can stabilize the spiritual sea, but it can also make people's brains produce a moment of trance.
The spear gun tilted and missed, and with a whoosh, a white arc was shot in the water.
The mermaid following Yu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was particularly heavy.
"Carlo... was captured."
Yu Chen looked at the silent expressions on the faces of the three mermaids, and for some reason, his heart suddenly tightened.
[Detected the exclusive item of the copy BOSS, the Heart of the Ocean]
[Do you want to use it? ]
[Yes/No]
BOSS exclusive item?
This is the first time that Yu Chen has an exclusive item after getting the identity of the BOSS so many times.
He didn't know what this "Heart of the Ocean" was for, but he pressed "Yes" subconsciously.
He wants to save Carlo.
The moment Yu Zhen confirmed it, pale blue scales suddenly grew out of her originally fair chest, and the scales clustered in the center suddenly burst out with a brilliant light.
As if she had merged with the heart of the ocean, Yu Zhen uttered a meaningless syllable softly as if she had sensed it.
The originally silent ocean was ignited in an instant.
The deep sea was boiling, countless seagulls flew up with screams, and schools of fish of all sizes jumped and rolled on the water.
The people on the Elizabeth had long been stunned, and all they could hear was the empty and silent singing of the mermaid.
The entire sea seemed to be quiet for a second.
- The next moment, a huge black shadow slowly floated up from the depths of the cruise ship, like a deep-sea monster, and let out a low roar.
Boom -
the blue whale suddenly rushed out of the water, bringing with it a huge wave, splitting the huge cruise ship in half.
The Elizabeth, the strongest and largest luxury cruise ship in the history of the Empire, sank completely into the deep sea on the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor.
