Chapter 1354 Temporary Body
"Save lives?"
Lianyi was a little confused. How could she complete this task? Just as she was wondering, Shijiu had already opened the portal and explained it concisely.
“Lianyi, I gave you this mission because you have a portable space. Your space has begun to develop in the direction of a small world and can accommodate living beings.
As long as you seize this opportunity, you can achieve species diversity in your space and accelerate the formation and evolution of your small world, which is also very beneficial to you."
Lianyi understood immediately. When they said saving lives, she guessed that it meant transporting the lives living on the world away before it collapsed. However, a new question arose.
"The plane collapse must have come to an end, why do we need special mission personnel to rescue it?"
"Some plane collapses are indeed the result of the evolution of the River of Origin. They collapse naturally after aging, and then new planes are born. However, there are also planes that collapse without normal evolution."
"I see."
Lianyi immediately thought of man-made disasters and wondered what kind of person would cause a plane to collapse.
"You'll know the details once you enter the plane. Special mission operators are also easy to identify."
Ripple nodded, and this time without delay, entered the portal directly.
When Lianyi opened her eyes again, what she saw was a black cage. She blinked, then moved her body and found that she was wearing very cool clothes, with the cloth only covering the key parts of her body.
At this moment, he was trapped in a cage less than one meter high, and there was a layer of cloth covering the outside of the cage, but the cloth was not tightly covered, and a ray of dim light came through.
Then all kinds of noisy sounds came into her ears, which made Lianyi frown. Just when he was about to try to stand up, the cloth cover on the cage was suddenly lifted.
A beam of light fell directly on Lianyi's face, and a man's high-pitched and excited voice came to her ears:
“Look, everyone. This is a mermaid that my fleet captured from the deep sea. It’s a rare sight, and I even sacrificed three crew members for it.
Come and have a look, this beautiful, strong and ferocious mermaid has caught your eyes instantly. The starting price is 500 gold coins, there is no upper limit, the highest bidder wins!"
Then Lianyi heard the sound of people gasping and talking all around her, and Lianyi put down her arms that were covering her eyes and looked at the surprised and excited faces in the audience.
Then the man poured a basin of water into the cage, soaking Lian Yi through and through. Immediately afterwards, her legs turned into fish tails, and they were purple-gold fish tails.
"Wow! It's really a mermaid!"
"Look, her tail is so beautiful!"
"The scales actually glow with colorful light. It would be great if we could use them to make a piece of armor. It would be both beautiful and practical."
"Isn't it said that mermaids' tears are all pearls? Can you show us?"
Someone shouted immediately.
"My distinguished guest, if you want the mermaid's tears, as long as you can pay the gold coins and buy the mermaid, you can make her cry however you want."
The auctioneer spoke eloquently.
"I have plenty of gold coins, but I also want to know if her tears can really turn into pearls. What if I buy something and find it's not what I ordered?"
Someone followed to join in the fun.
"That's right, Auctioneer Mike, you have to prove to us the value of the goods."
"Okay! I'm afraid of you. Our auction house has always been genuine and trustworthy."
After Mike finished speaking, he took a harpoon from the waitress beside him and aimed it at Ripple in the cage, aiming at her fish tail.
Lianyi did not resist at first, but was just looking around. She wanted to make sure whether she had come to the right place. After all, there had been several oolong incidents before.
While those people were bargaining with the auctioneer, Lian Yi sensed the complex power elements in the air, mixed together in a disorderly manner. This made her sure that she had not come to the wrong plane, and that this plane was indeed about to collapse.
The people around me were dressed more like people in medieval Europe. The women wore corsets and ankle-length skirts, with their hair tied up high and almost no accessories. The men wore long corseted coats, breeches, and high-heeled boots, with colorful feathers on their hats.
Mixed among these people were some men wearing Chinese robes, as well as tall and strong men wearing fur vests and bare-chested. There were also waiters in coarse linen clothes moving through the crowd, serving tea to these distinguished guests.
Just as Lianyi was surprised, a bucket of water was poured on her, and then her long legs turned into a fish tail, which made her sure that she was borrowing the body of a mermaid this time.
Afterwards, she tried to accept the memories of this body, but unfortunately there was nothing. This made her guess that she was a resurrected soul, and the original owner of this body had already died.
"Lianyi, this body is a temporary one. If you hadn't come, it would have been a corpse, so you can use it with confidence."
"I know. I guessed it when I failed to accept the memory just now."
"Lianyi, because this plane is about to collapse, it will affect our communication. If you can't contact me for a while, don't worry, just follow the special tasker closely."
"I see."
"Okay, I wish you good luck on your mission."
As soon as the two severed contact, the harpoon pierced into the cage, heading straight for her tail with a clear target.
Lianyi stretched out her slender white hand, grabbed the harpoon, and with a little force, pulled the harpoon and the Mike at the other end towards the cage, catching the other party off guard.
Lianyi grabbed Mike's neck with his other hand and said coldly:
"You shouldn't have pissed me off."
Under Mike's horrified eyes, Lianyi broke the cage with one hand, cast a dust purification spell on himself, turned the fish tail back into legs, and then walked out of the cage.
When the people who wanted to bid saw this situation, they all shut up, touched their necks, and felt that they could not control this mermaid.
"What are you standing there for? Arrest him now!"
A bearded man shouted, and it was obvious that he was the boss of the auction.
After Lianyi came out, she raised her hand and threw Mike at the two burly men who rushed over. After knocking them to the ground, she waved her hand and put on a sky-blue robe, and released the whirlwind at the same time.
The moment the whirlwind landed, it sensed the unstable energy collision in the air and keenly perceived the danger. It immediately changed into its original form and roared at the stunned people in the audience, completely disrupting the order of the entire auction hall. Everyone rushed to the door.
Mike, who was thrown out, no longer cared about his work. His life was at stake, so he immediately crawled towards the door following everyone.
Lianyi didn't care about these minions. She pulled Duoduo out of the space. With a turn of her wrist, she rolled the man who had just given orders under her feet.
"Please spare me! It was Ken who sent you to the auction!"
