Where the dragon landed is still where it is now.
It wasn't just because the East China Sea Fourth District was guarded by the famous Vulcan Legion, but also because the dragon was so large that it resembled a winding mountain range. The merfolk felt that unless a hundred or eighty mountain merfolk came, it would be unrealistic to move the dragon to another place.
Therefore, when Long Xun followed these mermaids to the research department, the guards he saw were the same volcanic mermaids he had seen six months ago.
However, unlike the ones we've encountered before, these volcanic mermaids all looked somewhat worried.
Long Xun thought about Dong Jun, who was still at the Mystic Bar, and suddenly understood why these volcano mermaids seemed so worried—their king had abandoned them to fall in love, how could these abandoned children not be worried?
Following the lead mermaid, Long Xun swam to a building. He simply stretched out his huge dragon head and saw the mermaids still having a meeting inside through the round window.
Mu Mu, the guard officer of the Volcano Mermaid King who was attending the meeting, inadvertently looked up and saw a huge dragon head peering into a window that was just the same size as his own eyes. This sight immediately terrified the man who had come through battles of blood and fire.
"According to our research, the dragon's cells have become fully active. If enough vitality water purified by freshwater mermaids is brought in, the dragon may awaken within a month." Luo Ruchu, the oldest surviving volcanic mermaid in the volcanic mermaid community, a beautiful female mermaid with long fiery red hair, fiery red eyes, and a deep red fishtail, said excitedly as she looked at the information in her hand.
The mermaid, with her wild and alluring tan skin, is tall and agile with an incredibly hot figure. Even as a female mermaid, one can see the power within her.
Mu Mu stared blankly at the huge dragon head outside the window, and whispered, "I said... that dragon..."
However, his voice was drowned out by the whispered conversations of the merfolk, without even a ripple.
“But the vitality water consumed in the past six months is already the equivalent of a hundred years’ worth of reserves for the freshwater mermaids living in the fourth district of the East Sea… We might not be able to produce any more.” Another representative of the freshwater mermaids, the male mermaid with a gray-blue tail, Yue Chenshuang, said dryly.
"Can't we take it out anymore?" Luo Ruchu frowned and asked.
“There are very few freshwater mermaids in the four regions of the East China Sea. If we want to continue the work of awakening the dragon, we can only let the crystal mermaids and mountain mermaids in the central region take over.” Yue Chenshuang was helpless. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to use the Water of Vitality, but the purification power of freshwater mermaids was also limited. Most of the four regions of the East China Sea are deep-sea saltwater, and there is very little freshwater near the land. They are powerless to purify it.
Moreover, a significant portion of the Vitality Water also needs to be supplied to hospitals so that the shamanic mermaids can treat the injured mermaids, making freshwater resources even more scarce.
"..." Luo Ruchu remained silent.
“Everyone… he opened his mouth…” Mu Mu spoke again in a daze, but her small voice was still ignored.
"Fallen Scholar, make a decision. Awakening the dragon is something the mermaids must do. He gave us life and protection, allowing us to develop to where we are today. Fish cannot forget their roots."
“Yes, Scholar Luo, all mermaids are one family. It’s not a big deal to let the mountain mermaids and crystal mermaids take over the work of awakening the dragon. In the future, the contributions made by the volcanic mermaids of the four regions of the East Sea will also be recorded in the history books.” Another mermaid chimed in with her advice.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ruchu finally nodded with a determined look: "No matter what, the matter of the Ancestral Dragon is the top priority. After the meeting, we will contact the Commander-in-Chief of the Central District and transfer the Divine Dragon there so that they can take over the work of awakening the Divine Dragon."
After making this decision, everyone, including Luo Ruchu, felt relieved. The new generation volcano mermaid sitting next to Mu Mu, who was taking notes at the meeting, turned his head and casually asked, "Commander Mu Mu, what were you about to say?"
"It's...it's a dragon!!!!!"
Mu Mu finally shouted it out.
What? !
Everyone in the conference room turned to look at him, and then followed the direction he was pointing to look at the window.
In the dim seawater, the dragon, its body radiating a faint silver light, opened its enormous mouth. Its terrifying, chilling teeth, like giant swords, filled its jaws, and just looking at them made the fish feel their tails go weak.
"hold head high--!"
A tremendous dragon's roar resounded, the powerful sound waves making the mermaids nearby feel as if the world were turning upside down. The building, supported by twelve pillars and filled with colorful bubbles that served as a research lab, trembled under the terrifying roar.
The mermaids inside the building were like those who had entered a bottle half-filled with water. After the cap was tightened, they were shaken violently, leaving them dizzy and unable to move, pressed against the walls and the ground.
Long Xun only wanted to say hello, but he didn't expect that a louder roar on land would have such a strong effect in the water. He quickly shut his mouth after roaring for half a minute and silently watched the mermaids who were stunned from the shock through the window.
Then, he turned to look at the merman who was leading the way behind him, clutching a spear and trembling all over.
#I don't know if an apology now can make up for your emotional distress#
After a long period of chaos, Long Xun, now only three meters long, sat down again in the cleaned-up meeting room with Luo Ruchu, the representative of the research scholars, Yue Chenshuang, the representative of the freshwater mermaids, and Mu Mu, the current representative of the volcanic mermaids.
