Their eyes met, and Baili Wanwan saw a determined look in He Yong's eyes.
She suddenly felt that He Yong in front of her must also be a very courageous young master.
She hesitated for a long time before finally speaking hesitantly: "Are you really not afraid? But don't worry, with Wanwan here, you won't be in any danger."
Everyone in the village knew that Baili Wanwan was precocious despite her young age; she was young, but her words were very convincing.
"I trust you."
The two jumped into the sea together.
While some people feel suffocated when they go into the sea, Baili Wanwan doesn't feel that way at all; on the contrary, she feels more comfortable in the sea.
However, He Yong, who was standing to the side, was not so lucky.
Although he is a good swimmer, he would feel excruciating pain if he stayed underwater for a long time.
After struggling for a while, it decided to swim upstream.
Just then, ripples appeared on the water.
It gradually turned into a raging storm.
Baili Wanwan was swept into a bottomless pit by a whirlpool. She didn't have time to say anything before she was surrounded by darkness.
I will never see He Yong again, and I don't know how he is now.
Baili Wanwan took out a luminous pearl from her sleeve; it was a gift from Sister Xue Rong when she left last time.
Keeping this luminous pearl on her person could enhance her water control abilities, so she carefully treasured it and didn't sell it. Unexpectedly, it's now proving its worth.
The luminous pearl shone brightly in the sea, startling the surrounding schools of fish.
The dragon was after the mermaids. Baili Wanwan remembered that Lan Xuerong had once said that the mermaid clan and the dragons had always been irreconcilable enemies, and the dragons were particularly sensitive to the scent of mermaids.
In this way, the dragon is very likely to be attracted to her.
Remembering Lan Xuerong's instructions, Baili Wanwan suddenly closed her eyes and began chanting a spell.
This spell can make Blue Snowmelt appear quickly.
Sure enough, water began to splash all around.
Baili Wanwan took a deep breath, and water droplets appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Wanwan".
Only when that gentle voice came did Baili Wanwan turn her head to look, and saw Lan Xuerong dressed in a purple dress, slowly swimming towards her.
"Why choose today to eliminate the dragon? The weather today is really unusual, and there may be other situations. I can't guarantee anything."
Upon hearing Lan Xuerong's words, Baili Wanwan was naturally extremely anxious.
If even Sister Xuerong isn't confident, wouldn't that be letting the dragon wreak havoc on the world?
"Could we ask other members of our merfolk clan for help?"
Baili Wanwan pondered for a long time before finally asking what was on her mind, but she never expected that Lan Xuerong would look at her like she was an idiot.
"You're too naive. This is an opportunity for you to gain experience. My interference in this matter is already considered favoritism and corruption in your training process..."
The conversation abruptly ended as the dragon approached the two of them.
The dragon's form can change depending on the specific situation, as it is now.
The enormous reef in front of us is not a real reef, but the gaping maw of a dragon.
The luminous pearl suddenly lost its luster.
“Let’s swim to the right now. Since the dragon is coming for us, you don’t need to worry about the villagers.”
Lan Xuerong pulled Baili Wanwan into her arms and swam desperately, not caring even when her fish tail bumped into the dragon's teeth.
"Once it swallows you, you're unlikely to get out unless you puncture its belly."
However, all the Jiao people know that the skin of a Jiao dragon is extremely elastic, and breaking through its belly is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Once it enters the stomach, the vast majority of the time it will turn into the excrement of the dragon-like creature.
"Wanwan doesn't want to become a pile of shit." Baili Wanwan shook her head desperately. After all, she was once a mermaid princess, born into the spotlight, but to die in the shape of shit was just too low-key and too shameful!
Thinking about it this way, Baili Wanwan became even more determined in her heart: no matter what, she couldn't let this giant dragon eat her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? With me here, I will definitely protect you."
The dragon's transformed form was so large that even closing its mouth required immense effort, which gave Lan Xuerong the perfect opportunity.
She flicked her fishtail, pressing herself right up to the dragon's teeth.
"What the dragon fears most is a toothache. In a little while, I'll count to three, and we'll go pull its tooth at the same time."
A foul stench filled her nostrils, and Baili Wanwan vomited it out with a "waaa," but her vomit went directly into the dragon's mouth, which thoroughly agitated the dragon, causing it to close its mouth even faster.
"What should we do? Sister Xue Rong, Wanwan still wants to live a good life." Baili Wanwan shouted loudly, but her hands did not stop moving.
Since the great dragon is afraid of toothaches, she has to give it a good jolt.
A dagger was tucked into her waistband, which Zhang Xiu had prepared in advance for Baili Wanwan, in order to prevent any accidents and give her a chance to survive.
The dagger went straight for the root of the tooth, and a strong wind came out from the air cavity. The roar of the dragon was heard, and then Baili Wanwan and Lan Xuerong were blown away.
Having escaped the jaws of death, he hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when he felt a chill around him again, as the dragon attacked once more.
Baili Wanwan gritted her teeth in despair.
"Sister Xue Rong, does this mean we're doomed to not be able to escape now?"
Lan Xuerong plucked a scale from the dragon's tail. Her reaction speed was extremely fast, almost as if she were racing against time with the dragon. Then the scale went straight towards the dragon and pierced its eye.
"Don't worry, I said I would protect you. I always keep my word."
Bai Liwan was moved to tears.
Waaah, having an older sister around is so wonderful.
"Sister, after this battle is over, Wanwan will take you to town to eat the best food. There's sweet osmanthus cake and sweet and sour hawthorn cake."
Lan Xuerong readily agreed, after all, her child was growing up and showing some filial piety. She couldn't refuse him, and Lan Xuerong was truly gratified!
"In that case, let's go eat osmanthus cake and hawthorn cake, just as you said."
After discussing their plan, the two began to confront the dragon head-on.
Meanwhile, on the beach.
The Taoist priest performed a ritual with a peach wood sword, and soon the surrounding area darkened.
Everyone waited anxiously, but they still didn't see anything unusual in the sea.
"The rope broke just now, and so much time has passed. If we don't go to retrieve it soon, something terrible will really happen." Zhang Xiu's face was covered in tears. She truly hated everyone in front of her. A monster had appeared and actually pushed a little child of only a few years old out of the way.
One or two of them, they really have no shame!
Now, the long, winding rope has broken, which most likely means something is wrong.
"If you can't save Wanwan, don't forget your promise, Daoist Master: you'll pay with your own life!"
