Chapter 182
===================
Suddenly, there was a sound of the water surface breaking, splashing water everywhere, and the "monster" under the water jumped out from below, with an obvious intention of rushing towards the necklace in the man's hand that was about to break.
Lian Yun never knew the purpose of the pearl necklace, so she didn't care at all about it being damaged.
But she really couldn't have imagined that this necklace could actually attract the thing under the water to come out.
Lian Yun was glad that he didn't show the necklace at the beginning.
When the water splashed up, everyone dodged and Lian Yun subconsciously raised his arms to block the sea water.
Everything happened in a flash, and when they looked carefully, the necklace in the man's hand had disappeared.
Everyone looked towards the sea hurriedly, and saw a colorful fish tail hitting the sea surface, splashing water, and countless water droplets flashing in the air, sparkling in the night light.
At some point, the dark clouds had parted, and the moonlight shone brightly on the sea, a mysterious, dreamlike color. A fish's tail dipped into the water, swaying. Following its tail, everyone saw a head of smooth, platinum-colored hair.
Her long hair swayed in the water, like light and graceful seaweed, dancing in the moonlight.
"That is..." Lina stared blankly at the graceful figure under the water.
Under the water, she held the pearl necklace tightly against her chest, turned around with her tail swinging, and looked at everyone through the water.
Her fair skin seemed to be glowing, her delicate facial features were as captivating as ice sculptures and jade, and her ice-blue eyes, when she blinked gently, were filled with childlike innocence and the mystery of the deep-sea mermaids.
"It's a mermaid!?"
Several people on the opposite boat retreated one after another. Some wanted to row, but after a few strokes, the boat remained motionless.
A few people bravely looked towards the water surface and found that the entire suit had been lifted up out of the water.
Several pairs of hands were supporting the bottom of the boat, and the support on one side was suddenly withdrawn, causing the boat to capsize. The people on the boat shouted and clung to the hull, but the next second they fell into the sea along with the entire boat.
"Help!"
Everything happened too suddenly. As soon as we saw the mermaids, before we could say anything, they came over with such force that we overturned the boat.
Lian Yun and his companions did not dare to act rashly, and just watched the people opposite them struggling in the water.
"Sister." Lina held Lian Yun's hand and looked at the people in the water nervously, "Will they die?"
Lian Yun patted Lina's hand to signal her to calm down: "They know how to swim."
For someone to be selected to carry out this kind of task, water knowledge is the most basic requirement.
As expected, those people quickly recovered from the panic they felt when they first fell into the water, and swam in fear towards the boat that was drifting away.
Lian Yun stood by the boat and looked underwater again.
The mermaid who had just overturned the opposite boat had disappeared, and what Lian Yun saw was a mermaid girl who was so beautiful that she was breathtakingly beautiful.
She swam in the water and seemed to be floating in the air.
She blinked and looked at them confusedly.
It seemed as if he was also waiting for Lian Yun's first move.
Lian Yun: "...I dare not move."
"thump!"
Seeing that she didn't react, the mermaid suddenly attacked. Her fish tail, which looked light and elegant, was so powerful that she raised a huge wave with a wave of her hand, overturning the boat in an instant!
Lian Yun was terrified, looking at the bottomless sea below him. The first thing he did when he came to his senses was to put the oar in Lina's hand and say, "Hold on..."
Before she could finish her words, Lian Yun was completely submerged in water.
The waves instantly rushed into her mouth and nose. Lian Yun's hands and feet were cold. She told herself again and again not to panic, but the fear in her heart still made her unconsciously struggle in the water.
Suddenly, a pair of hands hugged her.
The hands wrapped around her waist, exerting upward force and carrying her to the surface of the water.
Lian Yun closed his eyes tightly, the feeling of suffocation spread throughout his body, and the air in his chest seemed to be squeezed out.
She was carried upwards for a long time.
She didn't know she had sunk so deep.
She opened her eyes and looked at the person holding her with her last bit of strength.
Lanna...
The negative effects of Lana were eliminated a moment after he fell into the water. After waking up, he immediately dived into the water to look for Lian Yun.
Lian Yun had sunk very deep and was still struggling, but his struggle was getting weaker and weaker.
He swam towards Lian Yun with all his strength, grabbed her, and swam her to the surface.
...but it's too slow.
He could feel Lian Yun's reactions becoming less and less, and his movements with her becoming easier and easier.
Lana didn't dare to look back, for he was afraid of seeing Lian Yun's silent appearance, so he could only swim forward with all his strength.
“Lanna…”
A subtle call made him feel dazed.
Is he hallucinating?
The next second, his hand around Lian Yun's waist was suddenly held, patted twice, and then his hand was taken away.
Lanna lowered her head in disbelief.
Lian Yun could swim freely without being pulled by himself, and no longer looked like he was drowning.
She opened her mouth and spoke, unaffected by the sea water, as if she were a water creature.
Lana stared at her blankly, his brain feeling dizzy.
He saw Lian Yun coming closer again, her hair, neither long nor short, floating in the water. The moment she came close to him, her hair also brushed across his face.
He forgot to breathe and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He reached out his hand foolishly to catch the strand of hair, but missed.
He realized his stupid behavior again and looked at Lian Yun's expression, but saw that her eyebrows were curved and she didn't know what she was smiling at.
The next second, Lian Yun reached out and supported the back of Lana's head, then covered him with his body.
When the soft lips touched his, Lana's brain went blank. He forgot he was holding his breath and unconsciously loosened his teeth.
A breath of fresh air flowed into his mouth, filling the dullness of thinking caused by lack of oxygen.
Lanna came back to life and realized what had happened.
Lian Yun held his hand and their fingers were tightly clasped.
This time it was Lian Yun who took him to the surface.
"elder sister!"
Lina stood on the boat, crying for who knows how long. The moment she saw Lian Yun show up, her sobbing voice turned into joy. She wiped her tears and waved her arms vigorously at Lian Yun: "Sister! Here!"
Mogo paddled the boat and rushed over here.
Lian Yun helped Lanna onto the boat and climbed up with the help of the two of them.
Lina looked at Lanna's dazed expression and flushed cheeks, and was very worried: "Has the negative influence on Brother Lanna not worn off yet?"
Lian Yun smiled mysteriously: "Maybe."
"What should I do..." Lina was still sighing with genuine emotion when she suddenly heard a sound of someone jumping into the water. Lina, who was a little stressed by the series of unexpected events, turned her head suddenly and found that Lian Yun had jumped back into the water again!
"elder sister?!"
"grown ups!"
"I have to find the mermaid tribe and negotiate with them. You wait here for me." Lian Yun said.
"But, but they overturned the boat and left!" Lina was a little anxious. "They are mermaids and swim so fast. Sister, you are not good at swimming, how can you catch up with them!"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Lian Yun gave her a reassuring smile, winked at her, and dived into the water without looking back.
Returning to the deep and freezing sea water, Lian Yun was no longer as nervous as before.
She stretched her limbs, swam her body nimbly and lightly, pushed aside the sea water, and swam towards the deep.
This is all thanks to the new skill she acquired when she was on the verge of death - [Diving to Catch Fish]
[Dive and Catch Fish: Enjoy the ocean, trade your health for fresh air! (With a lock-on fish catching feature)]
After completing the mission of Tidal Wave II, the system unlocked this skill in time.
Before Lian Yun drowned, the skill took effect, saving herself and also... saving Lana.
Lian Yun opened the task panel while swimming to check the updated tasks.
[The Tide (Part 3): Congratulations on seeing the mermaids! Please seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and communicate with them immediately!]
It returned to the previous task template, with no prompts.
But Lian Yun soon discovered that the newly unlocked skills were more useful than she had imagined.
Lian Yun looked at the several rectangular virtual frames in front of him in the darkness. Some smaller virtual frames were hidden behind the coral reefs and were half blocked. Some others stood in the darkness, as if they knew that Lian Yun could not see them.
But Lian Yun didn't stop at all and swam straight towards them, and they panicked.
