Chapter 82: Quick Travel Guide: Poseidon (XIX)
"No! Let's go together!" I held Lord Poseidon's hand tightly and refused to let go no matter what.
"Be obedient, Ziang!" The tone of Lord Poseidon was unquestionable.
"Now is not the time to be willful. I will not allow anything to happen to you, otherwise I will be sad!" After saying that, Lord Poseidon kissed me directly. I looked at him in confusion. The mermaid was so proactive.
"But..." I wanted to say something else, but Lord Poseidon pushed me away.
"Take good care of him!"
He said this to his cousin and sister, then closed the cabin door resolutely.
"Lord Poseidon! Lord Poseidon!" I banged on the cabin door in despair, my eyes blurred with tears.
The "Heart of Poseidon" and I sped away, leaving Poseidon alone to face the enemy that was getting closer and closer...
I closed my eyes in pain, my heart filled with worry and fear. I didn't know if Poseidon could escape, and I didn't know what was waiting for us.
But I believe that no matter what happens, I will face it with him because I love him more than myself.
"Zi'ang, calm down!" My sister held my hand, and her voice was trembling.
"Lord Poseidon will be fine. He is so powerful."
I know that Lord Poseidon is the king of mermaids and possesses a status in the mermaid clan that is difficult for us to imagine.
But, he lost the mermaid pearl for me, and he was all alone facing the mermaids who wanted to rebel. How could I not worry?
"Trust him."
My cousin held my shoulders, his eyes firm and calm, "What we need to do now is to protect the 'Heart of Poseidon' and complete the mission he has given us."
I took a deep breath and tried to calm my panic. My cousin was right. Lord Poseidon entrusted the "Heart of Poseidon" to us, so we must bring it back safely!
We sped along, avoiding the enemy's pursuit. Through the porthole, I saw flashes of fire and deafening explosions in the sea.
My heart was in a knot. It was Lord Poseidon who was fighting. He was buying time for us!
"They're coming!"
My sister pointed at the radar screen and exclaimed, on the screen, the light spots representing enemy ships were approaching us rapidly.
"Activate the jamming system!" My cousin made a prompt decision, "Let's fight them!"
The escape pod shook violently, and we were drawn into an even more thrilling chase. The sounds of laser cannons, explosions, and alarms intertwined and were deafening.
At this moment, I felt a powerful energy wave coming from afar. It was a power I had never felt before, violent and full of destructive aura.
"Oh no, it's Du Yue!" Sister's face changed drastically, "She actually came after me in person!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge column of water rushed up into the sky, throwing our boat high into the air. Through the porthole, I saw a huge figure looming in the sea water. It was Du Yue!
"Get ready for battle!" I drew the dagger from my waist and looked forward firmly. I knew this was a battle of life and death, and we had to fight with all our might!
The figure of Lord Poseidon appeared in front of Du Yue like lightning, and the two of them started an earth-shaking battle in the sea.
“He looks so handsome when he protects me.”
Lord Poseidon's attacks were fierce and swift, and each strike contained tremendous power; Du Yue was not to be outdone, she controlled the sea water, turning it into water blades and attacked Lord Poseidon.
My sister, cousin and I also joined the fight. Although we were not as powerful as Ge Yun and Du Yue, we tried our best and used our respective strengths to deal with Du Yue's men.
During the fierce battle, I was cornered by one of Du Yue's men. Just when I thought I was about to be hit, the Sea God suddenly appeared and stood in front of me. He waved the trident in his hand and repelled the enemy.
"Are you okay?" Lord Poseidon asked concernedly, his eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine." I shook my head, then pointed at Du Yue and said, "Look!"
I noticed that Du Yue was wearing a peculiarly shaped badge on her chest. There was a strange pattern engraved on the badge, which was very similar to a logo I had seen in Poseidon's study before!
What does this badge represent? Why do both Du Yue and Poseidon have it? Is there some unspeakable secret between them?
Lord Poseidon followed my gaze and his pupils shrank suddenly. He obviously recognized the badge as well.
Before I could think about it, Du Yue attacked me again. Lord Poseidon protected me behind him and whispered, "Zi'ang, be careful. This badge may not be simple."
"I've had enough of you two. If I can't get you, then I'll destroy you."
I nodded, but a wave of shock rose in my heart. I had seen this emblem in an ancient book in Poseidon's study. The book said that it was the symbol of an evil organization called "Eye of the Abyss".
They believe in the power of the evil god Whale King in the deep sea and attempt to use this power to rule the entire ocean world.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has thousands of years of cultivation experience. After being defeated by the original Sea God, his soul is immortal and his resentment is heavier than that of a ghost, making him the evil god of the deep sea.
Could it be that Du Yue is related to the "Deep Sea Demon Whale King"?
A bold plan formed in my mind. I took a deep breath and said to Lord Poseidon: "Lord Poseidon, I need you to buy me some time!"
Although Lord Poseidon was doubtful, he still chose to believe me. He intensified his attack and fought Du Yue and her men alone to buy time for me.
I pretended to be defeated and stumbled back, deliberately exposing my back to Du Yue. Du Yue was fooled, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. She condensed a water blade in her hand and stabbed at me.
"Be careful!" my sister and cousin shouted
At the critical moment, I suddenly turned sideways to avoid the water blade, and at the same time, I made a lightning move, grabbed the badge on Du Yue's chest and pulled it hard!
"Ah!" Du Yue let out a scream and the badge was taken away by me.
I didn't bother to check, I immediately put the badge away, and then turned to fight. Du Yue, who lost the badge, seemed to be a little flustered, and his attack was also out of order.
Lord Poseidon seized the opportunity, summoned the underwater torrent to force Du Yue back, then took my hand and led me out of the siege.
“Go!”
The four of us fought and retreated, and finally got rid of Du Yue's pursuit. After escaping back to the base, we immediately started investigating the badges we had handed over.
The badge was cold to the touch, made of a strange material, and the patterns carved on it were intricate and bizarre, emitting a frightening aura.
"What on earth is this?" Sister looked at the badge with a frown on her face.
I told them the contents of the ancient book I had seen in Poseidon's study, and speculated that Du Yue was likely related to the mysterious organization "Eye of the Abyss".
"'Eye of the Abyss'?"
My cousin hesitated for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard of this organization. They are said to have been operating in secret for unknown purposes, but they are definitely not good people."
"It seems like we have really stirred up a hornet's nest this time," my sister said worriedly.
I held the badge tightly in my hand, feeling uneasy. What is the relationship between Du Yue and the "Eye of the Abyss"?
What conspiracy are they planning? All of this is still a mystery.
And I have a vague feeling that this badge may be the key to solving all the mysteries!
I examined the badge in my hand carefully, and the cold metal gave me chills. This badge seemed to be a ticket to the abyss, exuding an unsettling aura.
"The pattern on this badge seems to be an ancient text."
My cousin pointed at the strange symbol in the center of the badge and said, "I've seen similar words in an ancient book before. It seems to be... the language of the deep sea!"
"Deep Sea Language?" My sister and I asked in unison.
My cousin nodded, looking serious. "Legend has it that deep sea language was used by deep sea creatures to communicate in ancient times. As time went by, this language was gradually lost, and now almost no one can decipher it."
"If this badge really has Deep Sea Language on it, how did Du Yue know it?" Sister asked puzzledly.
My heart was moved, and a bold guess came to my mind: "Perhaps, Du Yue and the evil worshiper of the 'Deep Sea Demon Whale King', the Eye of the Abyss, have some kind of connection that we don't know about, and this organization may have mastered the method of deciphering the deep sea language!"
In order to verify my guess, I decided to investigate the mysterious organization "Eye of the Abyss" in depth.
I searched through all the ancient books in Poseidon's study and finally found some scattered records about the "Eye of the Abyss".
Ancient books mention that the "Eye of the Abyss" is an organization that believes in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and they attempt to use this power to control the entire ocean world.
It is said that within a hundred years, members of the "Eye of the Abyss" were spread all over the ocean. They secretly developed their power and planned a huge conspiracy.
