Chapter 73: Quick Travel Guide: Poseidon (Ten)
My heart sank. It seemed that Admiral Shark's ambition was greater than I thought. Not only did he want to seize power, he also wanted to drag the entire underwater city into the abyss.
"I have to stop him!" I said firmly. "Alo, will you help me?"
A Luo nodded gratefully: "Lord Poseidon has been kind to me, I am willing to give everything to protect the underwater city."
I held A Luo's hand, and a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart. I knew that this battle would be extremely difficult, but I was ready. In order to protect my love and to protect this beautiful ocean, I will do my best!
Just as we were formulating a counterattack plan, a piece of news came that made me feel anxious again.
It is said that someone has found traces of Poseidon on the edge of the underwater city, but he seems to be seriously injured and in critical condition...
The Sea God was seriously injured?! My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain spread throughout my body.
Could it be that General Shark has already attacked him? No, I can't panic. The most important thing now is to figure out the situation.
"Aluo, is the news reliable? Where is Lord Poseidon now?" I tried hard to suppress my inner anxiety and asked the mermaid warrior in front of me.
A Luo shook his head, his face full of worry: "The news came from the patrol team, and the specific situation is still unclear. Lord Poseidon has always been secretive about his whereabouts, how could he..."
He didn't say anything else, but I knew what he was worried about. As the ruler of the underwater city, Lord Poseidon's power was unfathomable. If he hadn't encountered great danger, how could he have easily exposed his whereabouts and been seriously injured?
My mind kept recalling every moment I had with Lord Poseidon. His stern expression, deep eyes, and occasional tenderness were like sharp blades, cutting my heart and making it bleed.
No, I can't just sit there and wait for death! I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
"A Luo, you immediately contact all the mermaid warriors loyal to Poseidon and have them prepare for battle. I'll go to the place where Poseidon was last seen and maybe I can find some clues."
Luo wanted to say something, but when he saw my determined look, he finally nodded, turned around and disappeared into the dark sea.
I looked at the direction he left, and prayed silently in my heart: Lord Poseidon, you must wait for me, I will definitely find you!
I followed the information provided by Arlo and dived all the way until I finally arrived at an underwater forest on the edge of the underwater city.
The light here is dim, huge seaweeds are swaying in the water like ghosts, all kinds of strange marine creatures are hiding among them, and the atmosphere is weird and depressing.
I carefully brushed away the seaweed in front of me, and a strong smell of blood immediately hit my nose, and my heart sank. Oh no, there has just been a fierce battle here!
I suppressed my inner uneasiness and carefully searched for clues around me. Soon, I found some broken mermaid scales and weapon fragments under a huge coral reef. Judging from the shape and color, they should belong to the personal guard of the Sea God.
My heart is getting heavier and heavier. Could it be that Poseidon is really...
At this moment, I suddenly felt a faint breath, like the last struggle of life, gently rippling in the sea not far away.
I was delighted and swam quickly towards the direction where the breath came from.
I finally found the source of the breath among the rocks. It was a huge snow-white killer whale with many severe wounds all over its body, and it was obviously dying.
The killer whale is one of the most powerful creatures in the ocean and the exclusive mount of the Sea God. Seeing it injured like this, my heart sank to the bottom again.
I gently stroked the killer whale's huge head, trying to relieve its pain with my spiritual power.
At this moment, the killer whale suddenly opened its eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in its cloudy eyes, it opened its mouth, and with great difficulty spit out a blue bead emitting a faint fluorescent light.
I reached out to take the bead, and a strange energy instantly surged into my body. Blurry images appeared in my mind. Those were the last memories of the killer whale...
I held the blue bead carefully, and the last fragments of the killer whale's memory surged in my mind. The Lord of the Sea was attacked and outnumbered, and the mastermind behind all this turned out to be... a deep-sea octopus!
The flame of anger burned in my chest. I clenched my fists tightly, and my knuckles turned white from the force. The giant octopus in the deep sea, he dared to betray the Lord of the Sea and harm him!
I swear, I will avenge Lord Poseidon and make him pay for what he has done!
The killer whale's breath became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely in the cold sea. I suppressed my grief and buried it next to the coral reef, silently saying in my heart: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."
After dealing with the orca's aftermath, I immediately set out to return to the underwater city. As soon as I got back to my own residence, my sister rushed over in a panic.
"Zi'ang, it's bad. The deep-sea giant octopus wants to openly challenge you!"
My heart was shaken, and a chill ran up from my feet to my head. What was he going to do, the giant octopus?
"What's the matter? Tell me slowly." I tried to calm myself down and asked softly.
Sister took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I don't know where the giant octopus in the deep sea learned that you inherited the killer whale's power. He claimed that the power you obtained does not belong to you. He wants you to prove your strength at the public meeting of the parliament tomorrow, otherwise..."
"What else?" I asked coldly, with a cold light flashing in my eyes.
"Otherwise, I will report you to the parliament, deprive you of all your rights, and expel you from the underwater city!"
My sister's voice trembled slightly, obviously she was frightened by the viciousness of the giant deep-sea octopus.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down. The giant octopus was clearly trying to kill me! Did he think I would surrender like this? He was wrong. I, Feng Ziang, am not a mermaid who can be slaughtered at will!
I raised my head and said to my sister with a firm look in my eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let him succeed. Tomorrow, I will let him see my strength!"
My sister looked at me worriedly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She knew that my current situation was dangerous, but she knew my character even better. Once I made up my mind to do something, no one could change it.
The next day, I arrived at the parliament hall early. Many mermaids had gathered here, talking and guessing how this sudden challenge would end.
The deep-sea giant octopus was wearing a black uniform and standing in the middle of the hall with a cold smile on his face. When he saw me, his smile became wider and his eyes flashed with a vicious light.
"Feng Ziang, you're finally here." The voice of the deep-sea giant octopus was full of provocation, "Today, I will expose your true face in front of everyone!"
I walked towards the center of the hall, each step was firm and steady. My eyes met with the giant deep-sea octopus, without the slightest fear, only burning anger and determination to win.
"Giant octopus of the deep sea, how do you want to expose me?" I said in a cold tone without any emotion.
The giant deep-sea octopus smiled contemptuously. "It's very simple. Since you claim to have inherited the power of the killer whale, then show us your new power. I heard that killer whales have strong mental control. Why don't you use your mental power to control a few sharks and let everyone open their eyes?"
His proposal caused a stir, with people whispering and talking about it. Controlling sharks? This is not an easy task, and even some experienced animal trainers dare not try it easily.
The giant deep-sea octopus was deliberately making things difficult for me. He knew that I had just inherited the power and was not able to skillfully use the power of the killer whale.
He wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass me in front of everyone and thus defeat me.
"What? You don't dare?"
The giant deep-sea octopus became even more complacent when he saw that I didn't react. "It seems that you are no different. You can only hide among women and act like a hero!"
His words were full of ridicule and disdain, and people around me began to point fingers at me and talk about me. I felt unprecedented pressure, but I told myself not to panic and to stay calm!
I took a deep breath, slowly closed my eyes, and focused all my attention on the blue beads in my mind.
Fragments of the killer whale's memory flashed through my mind quickly, and I felt its powerful spiritual power, as if it was guiding me.
I slowly opened my eyes, with a confident light in them. I raised my right hand and pointed to the crystal ball in the center of the hall. There were several fierce sharks swimming in it. They were specially raised by the parliament to maintain the law and order of the underwater city.
"Controlling a shark? That's too easy."
The corners of my mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, "Let them dance, it will be more entertaining this way."
