Chapter 60
The reason for letting Xue Yinglong leave early was very simple.
Even if he was sincere to others, Su Xingyuan would never bring him into the secret realm.
The fewer people who know him in the secret realm, the better, and lone wolf players always like to challenge the realm alone.
After watching the portal close, the black-haired boy looked at the [Secret Realm Pass] on his wrist expressionlessly.
The ribbon was getting slightly hot, reminding him that the entrance to the secret realm was nearby.
Su Xingyuan looked up at the sky. The gap in the sky was still leaking water like a faucet, forming a very thick water column.
He threw the sleeping dragon cub back to its home, put the black windbreaker back into his backpack, and finally clicked on the "put on" button to beautify the costume.
If Xue Yinglong were to look at him again now, he would definitely not recognize that he was the Su Xingyuan just now - not only was there a difference in appearance, but even his temperament had changed greatly.
Moreover, because the fishtail, shark veil, pointed ears and other elements are too eye-catching, after taking away most of the attraction, few people will notice his similarities with the newly promoted S-level hunter.
After completing his preparations, Su Xingyuan swam directly towards the direction where the water fell from the sky without any hesitation.
In the sea water, the blue-green fish tail shimmers with light, and each scale is like a gem as thin as a cicada's wing. When combined together, they become a perfect work of art, which looks extremely fragile.
However, once someone is touched by him, they will realize that things cannot be judged by appearances alone.
The water column from the sky rushes down, and the huge impact force can even shatter rocks.
If it were an ordinary fish, it would be washed away by the swift current and would not be able to swim upstream under such circumstances. However, after Su Xingyuan was equipped with the [Assimilated Fish Tail], it was no exaggeration to say that he was the ocean's own son.
The affinity bonus of the water element and the extremely powerful fish tail that could smash rocks made him ignore the impact of the water pouring down from the sky and swim directly along the extremely thick water column!
At the same time, the ribbon-shaped [Secret Realm Pass] on his wrist became even hotter, and finally, when Su Xingyuan was getting closer and closer to the gap in the sky, it turned into a deep blue stream of water, wrapping him up completely, and then disappeared.
…
…
"Damn it...it's been so long, why haven't I seen the Tinghai Gate of Atlantis? Does this thing really exist?!"
"Calm down, John, for God's sake—you're killing me!"
At the beach, two men who were searching for something in a team were arguing from time to time.
"If someone in the team couldn't come, do you think you would have been brought here this time?"
"Joey, what do you mean?"
"——Shut up!"
A female voice came, and a woman with brown curly hair came in front of the two of them and glanced at them.
"There are many things to pay attention to in this operation. I don't want to cause any more trouble because of an insignificant quarrel. You should all be familiar with the rules of the Brad Guild, right?"
"Clear, Ms. White."
The two men spoke in unison, not even daring to raise their heads.
White doesn't have the typical look of a cold woman. Rather, she even looks more like a traditional sweetheart.
However, no one dared to disobey her, because everyone knew that her brother was Brent, the president of the Brad Guild, and that each of these siblings was more vicious than the other.
After teaching the two idiots a lesson for fighting among themselves before completing their mission, White walked in front of them and continued searching on the shore.
Three months ago, they discovered the existence of the secret realm in an underground city, and went through great pains to collect the pass from various portals. Finally, when the secret realm was completely opened today, they were ready and headed into the secret realm.
They have done extremely thorough preliminary work and are almost certain that the city of Atlantis exists in this secret realm.
It goes without saying how many treasures this represents.
However, after entering the secret realm, they discovered that the secret realm pass was only responsible for bringing them into this world, and it didn't care where they were.
——They have been on this huge island for three days.
During these three days, they did not find any trace of Atlantis, nor did they find the appearance of the "Tinghai Gate" recorded in ancient books.
The time of Tinghaimen's appearance is uncertain and its shape is uncertain. No one knows what it is. It is only recorded that "the first time you see it, you will know it comes from Atlantis."
And the first person to see the Tinghai Gate will know the path to Atlantis.
So for the past three days, apart from eating, drinking and fighting monsters, the people from Brad's Guild were constantly looking for the so-called Tinghai Gate. The longer the time dragged on, the more annoyed Brent and White became.
Because they knew very well that they were not the only ones who knew about the existence of the secret realm and the pass, and the transmission location of the secret realm pass was not fixed. What if other people were directly teleported into Atlantis?
There are so few treasures. If others get more, there will be less for you!
What's even more depressing is that they had originally planned to find an opportunity to enter the secret realm after collecting eight passes, but the one that was secretly stored in Country C was taken away by an unknown hunter on the eve of use!
Even their spies over there were wiped out, and were taken over by the C Country Hunter Association.
They were ready to take action against the hunter immediately, but after finding out who the hunter was, all the guild members who had been clamoring to teach him a lesson fell silent.
——The fourth S-level hunter in Country C.
The individual combat capability is extremely strong and one can conquer the A-level portal alone.
His actions are as unpredictable as the wind, and his whereabouts are still unknown, giving people the impression that he is homeless. He rushes around to clear the portal in a 007-style manner, which is frightening.
In the end, the Brad Guild, which was busy in the secret realm, decided not to cause trouble and not to take action against the guy for the time being. They would find a chance to destroy the guy after they were done with the work.
And if God favors them and lets them meet Su Xingyuan in the secret realm, they will definitely not let him go back alive.
White went over the action plan in his mind again, and suddenly in his peripheral vision he noticed something that appeared for a moment and reflected the sunlight.
She stopped immediately, and the two men behind her also stopped and looked there together.
“Crash.”
The sound of water splashing rang out again, and it seemed extremely inconspicuous amidst the sound of the waves. But this time, White, who was staring at the sea surface, saw clearly that what stirred up the small waves was clearly a dark blue fish tail with a little gold in the sunlight!
The fan-shaped fin at the tail of the fish is a gradient of blue and green, as thin as a cicada's wing yet appears very tough. It is breathtakingly beautiful as it passes over the sea.
White walked over quietly, and when he heard the footsteps of two men behind him, he turned around and glared at them.
She could hear her heart beating violently, whether it was for the key to enter Atlantis finally appearing, or for that possibility...
She stopped where the water had already reached her thighs, her eyes fixed on the sea.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Beneath the sea, there seemed to be a shadow approaching.
“Crash——”
The sound of water was heard.
She looked directly into the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen.
The pair of eyes that had just been raised from the water were still covered with moisture, and they were about to fall on the overly long eyelashes, like crystal clear dewdrops. What is most eye-catching is undoubtedly the pair of eyes that are as dazzling as emeralds.
Then, his eyes curved slightly. His face was so clean, but when he smiled, he was still like a bewitching siren that made people unable to help but sink into it.
"Oh my God..."
Joey behind White murmured in disbelief.
John, who had just been arguing fiercely with him, was unable to take his eyes off the creature in front of him and couldn't help but continue with this sentence.
"...I will never laugh at the sailors who were bewitched by the Sirens again."
If someone is not deceived in such a situation, then he is not a human being at all!
…
"Why have White and the others not come back for so long?"
In the camp, a boy with blue hair and earrings kept throwing stones and said in a bored tone, "They are the only ones left to report the situation - how long do we have to wait?"
Brent raised his eyes, and suddenly spoke, having been silent all this time:
“They are back.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the other people immediately became excited and wanted to know what this group brought back.
If they hadn't made any special discoveries, they would have returned earlier and wouldn't have been delayed for so long.
——It turns out that this discovery is more than just “special”.
When White and his group finally appeared in their sight, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"…What is that?"
The cookie in the blue-haired boy's hand fell to the ground with a "pop" and he answered involuntarily: "That's... a mermaid, right?"
…
Mermaid!
Although they already knew that the destination of this trip was Atlantis, due to their familiarity with the dungeon, they all subconsciously believed that the people living there were either monsters or monstrous creatures.
Even if it is really a mermaid, it is the kind with a fish head and a human body.
However……
The creature that White brought back by using a method like making a fish tank by filling a wall with sea water was actually a mermaid boy who looked not very old.
The mermaid boy was suspended in a transparent fish tank surrounded by moving walls, and he was leaning on the wall curiously looking at the outside world. His long black hair fluttered in the water, looking extremely soft, like seaweed swaying in the water.
A beautiful, young, harmless, ignorant mermaid boy.
Even Brent's eyes moved slightly.
He stood up and walked towards the mermaid step by step. However, when he was still two meters away from the mermaid, he was stopped by his sister's intention wall.
White smiled and said, "Brent, I found it."
She said casually, "It must be Ting Hai Men. I will certainly make it play its role, but... no one is allowed to touch it."
Brent said, "What if he's one of the other hunters in disguise?"
White: "Do you think it's possible? Besides, whether it's a fake or not, we'll know when it leads the way."
The blue-haired boy with earrings slowly withdrew his gaze from the mermaid, and said with a smile: "You can't touch Brent, and you can't touch me, too, Sister White?"
White: "No, Derek."
"Okay." Derek just shrugged, turned around and pretended to leave, but the moment he turned around, he appeared in front of the mermaid as if teleporting!
He pressed his face and hands against the wall of the wall, opened his eyes wide, smiled and said: "Beautiful..."
Before he could finish his words, he was knocked away by an invisible fist. At the same time, Brent behind him grabbed his neck and threw him backwards mercilessly.
Derek, who endured the double attack, said: “???”
He looked at the brother and sister in disbelief: "You are not! It's just a fish! The tool we use to enter the gate!"
White gave him a cold look: "Of course I know."
Brent said calmly, "Listen to White."
Derek: “?”
Okay, you are noble and you are amazing.
However, after meeting the mermaid boy's gaze, he hurriedly and awkwardly controlled his facial expression and forced a twisted smile.
“…”
The mermaid looked away.
