Chapter 148 Guardian Beast
The high priest was stunned as he ate seaweed.
No, no, can someone tell her why the survivor in front of her suddenly looks different?!
That woman became my goddess.
However, the high priest did not show his surprise.
After all, he still had to make things difficult for Su Tinglu.
Feeling my empty stomach gradually filling up, it's time to get down to business.
"Survivor, you saved me, so I should give you some reward."
Su Tinglu's eyes lit up.
She hadn't forgotten the sparkling treasure mentioned in the ocean survival manual.
There must be underwater treasure inside sunken ships, right?!
But the next moment, the high priest suddenly closed his eyes.
Su Tinglu was slightly taken aback.
Then she saw... a white figure slowly drifting towards her.
Although Su Tinglu did not sense any danger or malice from it.
You could even feel the light emanating from her... it was incredibly warm.
Su Tinglu thought for a moment, but decided not to reach out and grab it. The appearance of this thing in front of her might be related to what the high priest had just said.
When the white figure floated in front of her, Su Tinglu finally saw the true appearance of that thing.
It was that ghost captain who had been chasing him!
The high priest then slowly opened his eyes.
Seemingly noticing Su Tinglu's confusion, he explained, "Aren't you confused? This was something I planted in Shenchuan to make things difficult for you, but I didn't expect you to fall for it and successfully break in."
Of course, coming in so quickly should be related to...
The high priest looked at the star-shaped water turtle next to Su Tinglu.
It must be related to this turtle belonging to their mermaid clan.
Su Tinglu also understood.
The ghost captain I saw earlier was actually an NPC given to me by the High Priest in the Ocean Survival Manual to make things difficult for him.
Su Tinglu thought for a moment and began to communicate with the spotted turtle: "Turtle, can the cute crocodile come over now?"
The spotted turtle, wearing its cool sunglasses, said, "Are you sure you want to call him over?!"
Su Tinglu nodded: "Yes."
Spotted Turtle: "Of course you can, but since you didn't sign a pet contract with him, you'd better leave the calling to me!"
Su Tinglu: "No problem, love you, turtle!"
Su Tinglu took out her spiked club from her storage space. When the Starry Water Turtle saw the spiked club, it stared at her blankly.
Su Tinglu took out her spiked club and patted the Spotted Water Turtle: "Good boy~"
Spotted Turtle: Actually... there's no need for that, haha.
Su Tinglu didn't care about any of that.
It would take a while for the adorable crocodile to arrive, so Su Tinglu looked at the High Priest and said, "Just tell me directly, what are the conditions for obtaining the treasure?"
The high priest looked puzzled: "How do you know that the reward I gave you is treasure?"
Because there's a system!
However, it was obvious that Su Tinglu wouldn't tell the truth, since no one knew how the NPCs would react if the existence of the system were revealed directly.
Su Tinglu chose to remain silent.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the high priest didn't press her further.
Instead, he said, "The reward I'm giving you is indeed a glittering treasure. If you want to obtain all of it, you must pass my test."
A test?!
Su Tinglu nodded: "Alright, just tell me, what is the test?"
The high priest continued, "Don't be in a hurry, let me continue... Of course, after you get the treasure, I will give you something that can take you to find Atlantis."
Su Tinglu looked at him suspiciously: "Why do I feel like you're up to no good?"
The high priest, having eaten and drunk his fill, craved more spiritual elixir and seaweed: ...
How were we discovered?
The high priest scratched his head: "How could that be? You are my savior. This is not how we merfolk treat our saviors."
Su Tinglu still didn't believe it.
But on the surface, he would say, "Okay, okay, I understand."
But he took a few steps forward, still holding the spiked club.
The high priest couldn't help but swallow.
This suddenly reminded her of what the ocean survival manual said when she first came to the survival world.
There are no warnings in this world.
So, are there no rules for survivors either?!
Do whatever you want?!
Su Tinglu felt that this was the case, and her gaze toward the High Priest was somewhat dangerous.
Hehe, let's give it a try today!
Su Tinglu called out to the star-spotted water turtle, "Turtle, why hasn't the fish come yet?!"
Spotted Turtle: "It should be here soon, Lulu, don't worry."
Su Tinglu: "Okay, okay, okay."
Just as the High Priest was about to explain what his trial was, Su Tinglu looked at the prompt that had appeared on the High Priest's body.
The High Priest of Atlantis is the pillar of Atlantis, controlling the survival of all mermaids, including mutated and angelic ones. If the High Priest dies, the mermaid race will face annihilation.
[His fishtail hides a glittering treasure, and perhaps the light emanating from him is related to this treasure!]
No wonder the high priest's fish scales are golden-gray!
I see, I see!
It's all because the high priest's fish tail hides a glittering treasure!
Then Su Tinglu wouldn't hold back.
"Master, my master!"
A familiar voice suddenly came from outside the window of the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea.
A dark green crocodile suddenly appeared before our eyes.
It's an adorable crocodile!
The ghost captain has been summoned back by the high priest, so the adorable crocodile can freely roam around the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea.
Su Tinglu noticed the adorable crocodile and waved at it, saying, "Here it is!"
"Master, I've arrived!"
The adorable crocodile, which is also the guardian beast, swam over.
Logically speaking, at such a deep sea, it might lack oxygen when it arrives.
But this is a survival world...
Creatures like the adorable crocodile can breathe whenever they want. If necessary, they can even suck up all the oxygen-containing plants in the seabed and store air in their bodies after eating them.
So the adorable crocodile rushed over as soon as it heard the news.
I'll still go at my fastest speed.
The high priest was clearly bewildered: "This is..."
A slight smile appeared on Su Tinglu's usually expressionless face.
"This is my beloved pet."
The high priest nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Su Tinglu immediately said, "Cute crocodile, pounce on him!"
If there are no rules in the survival world, why should you have to pass some kind of test to get the treasure?!
