The golden beach was full of footprints. Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu's presence added to the chaos. The beach at dusk was less peaceful and beautiful, but full of people. In the approaching dusk, they were like dumplings in a big pot. The pot was so small, but there were more and more dumplings. They were soaking in it, and no one knew when they would come out.

Swimming in such a place, if you get choked, it means you drank someone else's foot washing water, but there are still many people coming. Xia Xiao and Azhu also joined in. They were dressed in black without a hat or a cap, and they didn't attract much attention. After all, this color is one of the eternal and unchanging main themes.

The wet shoes became heavy, like a burden. But there were many sharp objects on the seabed, so Xia Xiao did not take them off, but tied them tightly.

"The water is worse than the land. If anything unexpected happens, follow Xiaoyu."

Ah Zhu nodded, followed Xia Xiao through the crowd, and reached the deeper part of the sea. When their heads were covered by water, the little mermaid summoned by Xia Xiao blew colorful bubbles, wrapping Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu, sticking to their skin like a thin film.

In the colorful halo, the ethereal sound of the sea that was in their ears before disappeared, as if they had gone from one world to another and then returned. The blurred vision of the two was cleared again, and they moved freely. Ah Zhu, who couldn't swim, spread his hands, left the spot, and moved forward a few meters.

"Walk!"

With this bubble-like membrane, Xia Xiao was able to speak. Although the sound would be much reduced, at least she could maintain communication. Under the guidance of Xia Xiao's water energy, Ah Zhu didn't need to move at all. She was always carried away by the water flow at a very fast speed, and she was excited.

Xia Xiao felt like he was riding a roller coaster. Occasionally, when he saw a fish, he would twist his body suddenly. When he was surprised, Ah Zhu also screamed. With this sound, Xia Xiao felt more like he was riding a roller coaster. He had never ridden it in his previous life. He had no money to pay for such a high-priced life-threatening expense, and no one to accompany him. But he would rather not experience this feeling, and he didn't want to recall the girl who never screamed and was always quiet.

Having missed Shu Shuang today, Xia Xiao did not want to sink into it again. This was not a good habit. But he suddenly became sad again, as long and broad as the sea, difficult to interrupt. Xia Xiao knew the source, so he looked at Xiao Yu beside him. The latter had grown a little bit, reaching his shoulders. This growth rate was faster than Ju Mang and Huo Dou. You can imagine how huge a mermaid girl she will be in the future, but she is very sad now.

The size of the body has nothing to do with the personality, just like Xiaoyu has grown a lot, but is still shy and seems a little scared. Her long hair is draped over her shoulders, floating like seaweed, and the scales on her face cut through the water, creating a luster. Her face has the beauty of a mermaid that Xia Xiao expected, but even if she didn't frown, she looked very sad.

This sea is huge. Just from the map estimated by Dahuang, it is known that this sea is wider than the land. Who knows what is in it. But in Xiaoyu's eyes, this ocean has dried up, leaving only a nearly dry seabed. There are fish bones buried in it, rotten seaweed shrunk into a lump, and some are like veins stuck to the sand and mud on the seabed.

The ocean that Xia Xiao was looking for was not the water around him, nor the sea in the contract space, but Shu Shuang's embrace. It was a calm harbor and her sea.

Feeling Xiaoyu's emotions, Xia Xiao sighed. He had no way to comfort her, after all, he was the same. He was used to hiding his emotions, but because of Xiaoyu's trigger, all his emotions burst out.

"Have you been in the sea all this time?"

Due to her temperament, Xiaoyu twisted her tail like a shark, looked sideways at Xia Xiao, and then nodded slightly.

"Go find Ju Mang and Huo Dou to play with when you have time."

Xiaoyu nodded again. She had never spoken before. Xia Xiao was silent again, just looking forward. The real big search will begin the day after tomorrow. Hundreds of ships and thousands of practitioners will stand on the ships to covet the treasures of the sea. People who can't practice will never be able to participate in this operation. This is also the reason why this seaside city is so lively, and Xia Xiao and Azhu can only live in a remote house.

Practitioners sometimes represent wealth and power in disguise.

The target sea area was too large and far from the land, so it took Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang nearly half a night just to travel. This time was a bit long, but the sea ship would take even longer. Practitioners could create extremely smooth currents in the water, but few people could drag a huge sea ship.

The moon was too far from the sea to project its image on the sea. It was closer to the clouds, so the latter had a slightly cool lead color. But Xia Xiao was even further away from them, hiding his head in the sea, looking down at the land below. This sea area was ridiculously vast, and Xia Xiao formed a seal in it, preparing to find the so-called Dragon Palace.

He grabbed the water, and threw it out while pulling it, and then formed a seal, making it transform into a dragon fish, swimming to the depths of the sea. This was a new trick he had learned. With his strong perception and control of water, he could detect everything in the depths of the sea. But even if he had them, he was not sure when he would find the Dragon Palace.

In fact, a week ago, many ships had begun searching for the Dragon Palace, either openly or secretly. Xia Xiao and Azhu were looking for it ahead of time, so there must be others who were looking ahead of time. What they could think of, others could also think of, but for different purposes. The latter was for their own interests, while Xia Xiao and Azhu wanted to confirm whether the woman was hiding here.

To put it nicely, Xia Xiao and Ah Zhu did this to ensure the safety of other practitioners who were looking for the Dragon Palace. Seven or eight out of ten practitioners from the Southern Kingdom came to look for the Dragon Palace. If they were wiped out by the darkness, not only would the Southern Kingdom be severely damaged, but the entire Great Wilderness would be affected. To put it bluntly, they were eager for revenge.

Yugu's old tower was ruled out, so it was more likely that this was the hiding place of the woman. Therefore, when the Jiaoyu went out, Xia Xiao just stayed where he was, waiting for them to send news.

In the late night, Xia Xiao asked Ah Zhu:

"Are you sleepy?"

Under the sea, Ah Zhu nodded. It would be a lie to say that he was not sleepy.

"Go to sleep. I'll call you after we find the Dragon Palace."

Ah Zhu had been holding on, thinking that she would be able to find the woman in half an hour, and then confirm whether the woman existed. But after three or four hours, she could no longer hold on and fell asleep in a daze.

With his palms clenched lightly, the seawater around Ah Zhu stopped flowing, like a bed. The film formed by the colorful bubbles maintained a constant temperature, and the ethereal sound of the sea around him blocked out all other sounds, making Ah Zhu sleep soundly. Xia Xiao floated on the side, looking into the depths of the sea, waiting for the fishes' feedback.

During this time, there were ships passing by, but Xia Xiao raised his head and sent them away. At first, he was a little worried about his breath. After all, it was unrealistic to completely hide his breath with just a wrist. But after seeing Yu Gu and his party, he was sure that this ability was reliable.

Most people are afraid of encountering strong people who are higher than themselves, but Xia Xiao now likes to deal with that kind of practitioners the most. Ordinary people and practitioners of lower levels are used to relying on their eyes to distinguish things, but practitioners of higher levels only believe in their own perception. After all, eyes can make mistakes, but perception cannot!

Thinking about this and that, while Xia Xiao was waiting for the fish's feedback, his connection with them was suddenly severed, like a kite and its string, suddenly cut off. Perhaps it was because the distance was too far that this happened. Xia Xiao pulled Ah Zhu and headed towards the sea farther away while he was asleep.

This was an extremely risky thing, but Xia Xiao was like a fish. He walked side by side with Xiaoyu, facing the sea, and reached the center of the entire sea area. Xia Xiao felt Xiaoyu's goodness for the first time. She was as accurate as a radar in the sea. Ten minutes after she pulled Xia Xiao to dive, another ship passed by the sea.

"These guys gathered so many people, claiming it was fair, just and open, but they had already started looking. How cunning!"

As Xia Xiao whispered, Xiaoyu's eyes emanated diffusive ripples, attracting countless sardines to gather and surround them.

The school of fish was so big that it could hide sharks. Xia Xiao lost sight of it. He looked outside the school of fish and felt the presence of several powerful people, but they left quickly, like swordfish diving into the deep sea. Their purpose was clear, which was to find the Dragon Palace. When the school of fish dispersed, Xia Xiao looked at Xiaoyu with a little more tenderness.

Xiaoyu grabbed her black clothes, and a bubble floated in front of her eyes. The bubble was wavy and very soft, and slowly passed in front of her eyes, finally rising to the surface of the sea and breaking in the slightly rising waves. Xiaoyu looked in the direction of the bubble and looked at the deep sea below. She tilted her head, and a little doubt appeared on her delicate and exotic face.

When Xiaoyu frowned in a way that was a little different from humans, Xia Xiao asked:

"Did you find anything?"

Just then, Ah Zhu woke up, and with a wave of her arm, she came to Xia Xiao's side.

"I dreamed of a lot of fish, all of the same kind, so many of them, it felt like the whole ocean was made up of fish."

When Ah Zhu was excitedly sharing his description, Xia Xiao put his finger in front of his lips and spoke in a cold voice.

"Shh!"

Ah Zhu was splashed with ice water and wanted to get angry, but he held it back because Xiaoyu went straight down to the deep sea. Xia Xiao followed closely and did not forget to use her water energy to pull her up. Xia Xiao could not bear such a consumption of energy. Fortunately, she had a complete water energy, so she could continuously restore her strength in the vast ocean.

After diving for a while, the surroundings became dark, and finally pitch black. But after Xia Xiao and Azhu adapted, this world regained some brilliance. Xia Xiao's eyes glowed with a light blue light, and his vision was restored to an excellent state. Xiaoyu's vertical pupils had a different color from Xia Xiao's pupils. The world in her eyes was no different from the bright one.

Her beautiful and huge eyes were like dancing pearls, but because there were no waves, no fish came. After swimming for a while, she looked back at Xia Xiao, and when she saw that he and Ah Zhu had caught up, she continued to swim. She kept going down, and when Xia Xiao had to use more energy to resist the water pressure around him, Ah Zhu screamed and disappeared from his side.

"Xiao Yu!"

Xia Xiao shouted, and when he stopped, Ah Zhu beside him had disappeared. He had clearly controlled the sea water before, but the connection was suddenly broken, and it was like a kite flying normally, but after the line was cut, it disappeared in the wind.
