Chapter 76: Quick Travel Guide: Poseidon (Thirteen)
"Who's there?!"
He shouted loudly, and the communicator in his hand fell to the ground.
I thought to myself that this was not good, knowing that I had been exposed, so I stopped hiding and walked out from behind the shell.
"Feng Ziang?!"
When Bo Saixi saw me, a flash of panic flashed across his face, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Why are you here?"
I looked at him coldly and asked, "What exactly are you and Du Yue plotting? Why do you want to frame me and Lord Poseidon?"
Poseidon's pale blue eyes flashed, he avoided my gaze, and said vaguely: "I don't know what you are talking about..."
"Are you still trying to make excuses?" I pressed on. "I heard your conversation with Du Yue with my own ears. You two are in the same group!"
Poseidon's expression became even uglier. He gritted his teeth and suddenly attacked me.
I was prepared and dodged his attack by leaning to the side, while at the same time kicking him to the ground.
"Tell me! What exactly is your conspiracy?!" I rode on him and asked loudly.
Poseidon struggled to get up, but I held him down tightly.
He glared at me fiercely, then suddenly sneered and said, "Do you think you won? You will soon pay the price for your stupidity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding sea water suddenly rolled violently, and a powerful force knocked me to the ground.
Before I could react, I felt dizzy and my consciousness gradually blurred...
When I woke up, I had a splitting headache. I opened my eyes and found myself in a completely unfamiliar place.
It was pitch black all around, with only a faint light coming through the vents above my head.
I tried to move my body, but found that my hands and feet were locked tightly with thick iron chains and I couldn't move.
"Lord Poseidon! Lord Poseidon, where are you?!"
I struggled and shouted, but my voice echoed in the empty room, but I received no response. Fear quickly drowned me like cold sea water.
"Don't waste your energy. He can't hear you."
A cold voice came from the darkness, with a hint of mockery.
My heart skipped a beat and I looked in the direction of the sound. I saw Du Yue walking out of the shadows seductively with a victorious smile on her face.
"It's you! What did you do to Lord Poseidon?!"
I was so furious that I wanted to rush over and tear her hypocritical face apart.
"Don't worry, he will be with you soon."
Du Yue spoke slowly, walked up to me and looked down at me.
"You know what? I've always been jealous of you. How can you, an outsider, get all his love and trust?"
"I was originally going to be the Sea God's wife, and the position of Sea Queen should have been mine, but he refused my toast and drank the wine of punishment, so I abolished his position as Sea God."
I looked at her coldly without saying anything. I already knew that Du Yue had a crush on Lord Poseidon, but why did she resort to such despicable means?
"You don't have to look at me like that. Everything I do is for the future of the mermaids."
"The mermaids need a better king. I am the daughter of the great admiral of the sea. I have plenty of strength and means."
Du Yue seemed to see through my thoughts and sneered, "Poseidon is too naive and trusts others too easily. Sooner or later, he will be used by others. Only I can help him and lead the mermaids to prosperity!"
"You are crazy!" I looked at the woman in front of me in disbelief. She had been blinded by power and desire and had completely lost her mind.
"Crazy? Maybe."
Du Yue sneered, ignored me, turned around, walked to the wall, and pressed a button.
There was a rumbling sound, the ground began to shake violently, and rocks above head kept falling down.
I was horrified to find that the room we were in was actually starting to slowly sink, and sharp barbs were slowly emerging from the surrounding walls and approaching us.
"This is the gift I prepared for you, enjoy it!" Du Yue's voice came from above, with a hint of cruel pleasure.
I closed my eyes in despair. Am I going to die here?
At this moment, I felt a warm, white hand holding mine, and a familiar voice rang in my ears: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Lord Poseidon pulled me to his side with all his strength and used his body to protect me from the falling rocks.
His eyes were filled with anxiety and worry, but he tried to calm me down and comforted me: "Don't be afraid, Xin'er, I will protect you."
I held his hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and felt a little more at ease.
The walls around him kept approaching. Lord Poseidon swung the trident in his hand, smashing the approaching barbs one by one, but more barbs popped up like bamboo shoots after rain, and the situation was still very critical.
"We can't go on like this. We'll be trapped here and die!"
I looked at the increasingly narrow space, my heart filled with despair.
Lord Poseidon said nothing, but gritted his teeth and swung the trident in his hand even harder.
I knew he was desperately trying to find a way to escape, but the trap was so well-crafted that it seemed there was no way out for us.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that Lord Poseidon once told me that the mermaids have an ancient secret technique that can control the flow of water. Maybe I can use this method to escape!
"Lord Poseidon, can you still use water spells?" I asked anxiously.
Lord Poseidon was slightly startled, then he understood what I meant and nodded, saying, "I can try, but most of my spiritual power has been sealed, so I don't know if I can succeed."
"No matter what, we have to give it a try!" I encouraged. Now we are in a desperate situation, we must give it a try!
The Sea God took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate, mobilizing the remaining spiritual power in his body. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his face turned pale, which made me feel distressed.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lord Poseidon opened his eyes and smiled at me, his eyes full of determination.
"Zi'ang, hold on to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong current appeared out of nowhere, enveloping us, forming a protective shield that blocked the walls and barbs that were approaching from all sides. The current carried us up quickly, breaking through the obstacles above our heads and returning to the sea.
We finally escaped! I was overwhelmed with joy and surprise, and hugged Poseidon tightly. This time we were even closer. We looked into each other's eyes, and his deep blue eyes sparkled in the sun. This time we were so close.
I could only feel the temperature of my flushed face and body as if it could boil the sea water. His fair skin and handsome face made me want to kiss him. I closed my eyes and kissed him lightly, my heart filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.
"Lord Poseidon, we have to leave here as soon as possible. Du Yue will definitely not let this go." I raised my head and said to Lord Poseidon.
"Well, let's go." Lord Poseidon nodded, took my hand, and swam away.
Little did we know, but shortly after we left, my sister and cousin arrived at the place where we were trapped.
They found pieces of my clothing scattered on the floor and realized we were in trouble.
"Oh no! My brother and Lord Poseidon must have been captured by Du Yue!" the elder sister said anxiously, "We must find them as soon as possible!"
My cousin nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "If anyone dares to hurt Ziang, I will never let them go!"
They immediately began to search for us everywhere, but found nothing. Just when they were almost in despair, Lin Xiao suddenly found a faint trace of blood in the sea water.
"This is the blood of the mermaid!"
Sister's face changed, "It seems that Lord Poseidon is also injured. If we follow the blood trail, we will definitely find them!"
They followed the blood trail and finally found the coral reef where we were hiding.
"Zi'ang, Lord Poseidon, are you okay?" My sister shouted excitedly when she saw us.
"We're fine, it's just..." I was about to tell them what happened, but was interrupted by Lord Poseidon.
"Be careful!" Lord Poseidon's expression suddenly changed, and he threw my sister and me to the ground.
A fierce attack flashed over our heads and shattered the coral reef behind us.
I raised my head in shock, only to see the giant deep-sea octopus and Bi Fusheng, along with a group of people, swimming towards us with great momentum.
"It seems we are still a step late." Poseidon sneered, with greed in his eyes.
"Poseidon, you'd better surrender obediently. I can let you die more easily."
"If you want to be king, I'll give it to you. Why do you want to betray our brotherhood?"
I was startled by Poseidon's sudden action, and before I could react, I was thrown to the ground.
"Bomb"
A loud bang exploded in my ears, followed by the sound of coral reefs breaking.
"Feng Ziang, long time no see,"
Poseidon spoke with a fake smile, his eyes greedily swept over me and Poseidon, and finally stopped at the trident that Poseidon held tightly in his hand.
"What, do you want to fight all of us alone this time?"
"How dare you talk about our brotherhood? Do you know that the sea gods of all generations must reproduce? This god from the upper realm created such a thing, which is clearly intended to insult us, but you dare not resist and accept it instead. My mermaid race can be killed but not humiliated. One day, I will kill all the gods in the sky."
"Poseidon, what on earth do you want to do?!"
My sister stood between me and Lord Poseidon, glaring at Sun Xiang with her eyes wide open.
