After returning home, Shui Yiyao signed for the anti-theft net and electric baton at the express delivery point downstairs in the community. Not long after returning home, the purifier was also delivered to her door.
She did nothing but follow the installation instructions and install the anti-theft electric grid and the camera, which she had bought earlier and installed on the first day she went to the classroom. There were two more that had not been installed yet.
After she installed the anti-theft power grid, she plugged in the electricity.
I looked at the instructions for using the stun gun and put it in my bag.
Today she was going to send a purifier to the mermaids. After thinking about it, she took out the electric baton from her bag, wrapped it in three layers of plastic bag, and after making sure that no water would get in, she put it in the side pocket of her travel bag.
He also brought a dagger with him and put it in his side bag.
After finishing the preparations, she got on the jade carving machine and worked until dark, then she went out with the travel bag containing the purifier.
As usual, Shui Yiyao chose a deserted place to enter the sea and soon arrived at the holy land.
The mermaids didn't expect her to come back so soon and bring a purifier with her. They were all very surprised.
Shui Yiyao didn't stay long, but just asked the Great Elder if they had any grudges with the octopus.
The Great Elder thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no grudge."
Shui Yiyao originally didn't want to tell the Great Elder about Octopus guarding her door at night, so as not to worry them, but now she couldn't find the reason for this, so she had to tell them.
When the Great Elder heard Shui Yiyao's story, his face turned pale.
He said angrily, "We have no grudge against the Octopus Tribe. It's just that they once proposed marriage to ours, but we rejected them. Since then, they've repeatedly harassed us... but we dismissed them as scoundrels and haven't retaliated."
But the octopus tribe actually wanted to attack their princess directly! How abominable!
Shui Yiyao felt something was wrong. Didn't the octopus want to marry her for the sake of bloodline? But the octopus that came to guard her was murderous.
What had she done that forced them to kill her?
She didn't do anything, wasn't she just carving jade to make some money? How did that bother them?
But the Great Elder said that apart from the conflict over marriage, there was no other grudge between the two tribes.
It was a headache. There must be something she hadn't figured out yet.
Shui Yiyao stopped dwelling on it and began studying the holy land's defenses. It was said to be a legacy left by their ancestors, unbreakable by any attack. The mermaid ancestors were so powerful, so why were they so weak now?
If it really had such a powerful defensive ability, why would she be afraid of the octopus?
She walked to the holy land's defense shield, looked up and observed the shield carefully.
In the deep sea, this cover appears light white, reflecting a brilliant rainbow luster under the reflection of the sea light. It also sways gently with the movement of the sea water, like some kind of fluid.
She reached out and touched it. The cover was cold to the touch, colder than the sea water, harder, and had a metallic luster.
I always feel that this texture is somewhat familiar.
Wait, isn't this the feeling of Jiao Xiao? Colorful white.
The only difference is that the shark silk is silver-white, a translucent silver-white.
Is this cover a large piece of shark silk?
The Great Elder was beside her. Seeing that she was lost in thought, he asked, "Princess, what are you thinking about?"
Shui Yiyao pointed at the safety cover and asked, "Is this Jiao Xiao?"
The Great Elder also looked at the safety shield and nodded, his expression puzzled. "We've studied it before, and it does look like one, but the shark silk only has the function of not being submerged in water. I don't know how it became a safety shield..."
Shui Yiyao thought of Boss Jin, the Taoist who sold mermaid tears. He might know something.
After finishing her work, Shui Yiyao said goodbye to the mermaids, picked up her travel bag and left.
After swimming towards the surface of the sea for about half an hour, Shui Yiyao was about to come out of the water when she suddenly heard a howl from behind.
She was startled and looked back. In the light blue water, a red dragon was flying towards her with its fangs bared and its claws wide open, staring at her with its big eyes, looking quite ferocious.
Red Dragon? Is this Ao Cheng? Yes, judging by his eyes, it's the same Ao Cheng from last time.
Is this an attempt at robbery and kidnapping?
Shui Yiyao turned around and quickened her pace, taking out a dagger from her side bag. They would be able to go out to sea in a few minutes. Hong Jiao was not of "royal blood" and could not go out to sea.
You'll be safe once you get out.
The red dragon behind also sped up.
Shui Yiyao swung her tail very quickly. Mermaids are known to be fast, and as long as her condition was not affected, she would definitely be able to escape.
Although she couldn't suppress her fear in her heart, she still tried hard to control herself from shaking.
Finally, as expected, they went out to sea. Shui Yiyao didn't look back and started running directly on the shore.
Her hands were shaking slightly as she reached into her travel bag and took out the stun gun she had prepared long ago and placed in her side pocket. She tore open the three layers of plastic bags that wrapped it inside and outside, stuffed the bags back into her travel bag, and turned on the stun gun.
Hong Jiao will not come ashore, but the stun gun can give her a sense of security.
She held her breath and ran forward without stopping.
Suddenly, she felt something following her from behind. Her heart sank and she turned around to look.
It was actually the red dragon that followed. It emerged from the sea and came towards her with its teeth bared.
What's going on? Isn't it said that people with ordinary bloodlines can never go out to sea?
Shui Yiyao closed her eyes and continued running forward, but the huge dragon behind her caught up with her in a short while.
She stopped, holding the electric baton, and looked back.
The dragon has caught up.
Seeing her stop, Hong Jiao raised his head high and said in a stern tone: "Since you don't want to be the wife of our clan, then you can die!"
He moved his claws and grabbed Shui Yiyao.
Shui Yiyao dodged and looked at Hong Jiao. No, that was not right… Hong Jiao could just capture her and take her to the Jiaolong clan, why did he want her to die?
Isn't this the same as the octopus? Originally, he just wanted her to marry him, but later he wanted to kill her.
Wait, this dragon...
The red dragon swung its claw again. Shui Yiyao rolled on the ground, avoiding the attack and coming into close contact with the red dragon's claw.
Each of his four claws has only two toes, so a total of eight claws.
But dragons are the same as humans, with five toes and four claws, which should make a total of twenty toes.
8 and 20, that's a huge difference.
Shui Yiyao seemed to remember something, looked at Hong Jiao, and shouted, "You are an octopus, aren't you!"
He is not a red dragon, he is an octopus with royal blood, so he can go ashore.
The red dragon paused, with a hint of surprise in his big eyes, and suddenly he laughed.
The red color all over the body faded and turned gray, and the originally shiny red scales turned into slippery grayish-white skin.
The dragon's head turned into a round octopus head with two big basketball-like eyes on it. Eight soft tentacles with suction cups grew under the head and kept wriggling.
It was the giant octopus. Now he was as tall as a backboard.
"So what if you know?" His voice changed, and his large tentacles wrapped around Shui Yiyao. "You can only die here today!"
Shui Yiyao suddenly figured it out.
The one who came to propose marriage last time was not a dragon, but an octopus.
The octopus heard the rumors in the seabed, so he pretended to be a member of the Jiao clan to commit marriage fraud. At first, he transformed into Ao Li to propose marriage, but he was exposed by the elder. He then adapted to the situation and transformed into Ao Cheng.
The elder didn't see it this time, perhaps because he relaxed his vigilance, or perhaps he didn't expect that this thing could play nesting dolls. Until then, the big octopus just wanted to marry her.
Later, it was after she came into contact with Ao Li that the octopus came to kill her.
They were afraid that Shui Yiyao and Ao Li would have too much contact and discover something was wrong, which would lead to their disguise being exposed and causing revenge from the Jiaolong Clan.
They originally thought that it would be easy to marry a mermaid with the reputation of the Jiaolong clan, but they did not expect to fail.
But now they dare not take the risk of the truth being exposed, so they can only take the risk and kill her who is close to Ao Li, so that the truth will be buried in their stomach forever.
So, they, the octopuses, wanted to kill her.
But what's the point of trying to figure it out now? This giant octopus looks several orders of magnitude stronger than her. Although she can rely on her endurance to hide for a while, there's not even a single person here right now...
The giant octopus swung another tentacle towards Shui Yiyao's head.
Shui Yiyao raised the electric baton for self-defense and chopped it towards the octopus's large tentacles.
Sizzle
I smelled...the smell of grilled squid.
Shui Yiyao had originally closed her eyes, but was forced to open them by the smell.
The giant octopus in front of me looked like it was having a seizure. Its entire body was twitching and shaking from the electric shock, and even its big head was shaking uncontrollably.
The tentacle that was directly attacked by the electric baton had turned yellow, was sizzling, and was emitting white smoke.
Boss Jin is indeed an expert, the electric baton is really useful!
After discovering it, Shui Yiyao hit its other tentacle with one stick after another.
The giant octopus was electrocuted and twitched all over, unable to move at all.
Shui Yiyao swung a stick left and right, and only knew how to beat people.
After a while, the big octopus became small and sprayed ink at Shui Yiyao.
I knew he was going to do this.
Shui Yiyao dodged the ink attack in advance and rolled to the other side.
The giant octopus also took the opportunity to slip back into the sea.
At this moment, the air is still filled with the smell of grilled squid.
Shui Yiyao glanced towards the sea. There were bubbles and black ink where the octopus jumped.
He runs pretty fast.
Shui Yiyao gripped the electric baton tightly and continued to walk towards the shore somewhat weakly. She reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
It was really exhausting and scary. I will definitely carry a stun baton with me from now on.

Work is proceeding as usual, and the construction of the Ao Li sign is almost complete.
While she was reshaping it, she showed it to the owner, who praised her for her good work.
The fine work has been completed today, and all that is left is grinding and polishing.
After she worked for another three hours and polished the sign, she took a photo of the finished product and showed it to the owner.
The owner paid promptly.
The material costs 8,000 yuan, 26 grams, and the craftsmanship costs 26,000 yuan.
The total is thirty-four thousand.
After the order was completed, she went to the jade carving community to check and prepare to accept the order online.
But as soon as I came online, I received a private message.
Who do you think you are? How dare you charge a master craftsman's price?
Shui Yiyao was confused. She could ask for whatever price he wanted. Who was this person who cared so much?
