Chapter 359 Mermaid
As they got closer, the huge column of water gradually dissipated, replaced by a chaotic scene.
On the beach, land orcs and crab warriors were fighting fiercely with sea snakes, while on the sea in the distance, a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen moving slowly.
"What is that?" Luo Cihe narrowed his eyes, trying to see the black shadow on the sea.
Xia Yueke shook her head, feeling vaguely uneasy. "Whatever it is, we have to find Qian Jingyao and Long Xiaoyu quickly. We can't delay any longer."
The three of them quickly rushed into the battlefield, fighting the sea snake while searching for their companions. As they fought hard, they suddenly heard a sharp cry for help coming from the seashore.
"Help! Help me!"
Xia Yueke turned her head sharply and realized the sound came from a reef near the waves. She looked closely and saw a figure tightly entangled by a sea snake, seemingly unable to struggle.
"Someone is trapped!" Xia Yueke shouted and rushed over there quickly.
Lang Ce and Luo Ci He followed closely behind. The three of them worked together to repel the surrounding sea snakes and finally saw the trapped figure clearly - it was a young orc, but his lower body was covered with glittering scales, and his tail was long and elegant. Obviously, he was not an ordinary land orc.
"It's the mermaid tribe!" Luo Cihe exclaimed.
I saw a mermaid in front of me, with long blue hair like seaweed flying freely, and her hair danced slightly in the caress of the sea breeze, like lively seaweed.
His skin was as white as snow, with a soft pearly luster, revealing a coldness and elegance that did not belong to this world.
Beneath the long eyebrows were a pair of eyes as blue as the depths of the sea. At this moment, there was still traces of fear after being attacked by the sea snake and gratitude after being rescued in those eyes. Under the straight nose bridge was a pair of thin lips with graceful lines, but now they looked slightly pale due to excessive blood loss.
His lower body is covered with scales, and his tail fin is wide and gracefully shaped, with a light golden edge, as if it had been gilded by the sun.
Xia Yueke didn't have time to think. He quickly stepped forward and slashed at the sea snake that had entangled the mermaid with his weapon. The sea snake felt pain and loosened its grip. The mermaid immediately fell onto the reef, gasping weakly.
"Are you okay?" Xia Yueke squatted down and asked with concern.
The mermaid raised his head, revealing a delicate, pale face. His eyes were as deep blue as the ocean, filled with a hint of fear and gratitude. "Thank you... for saving me."
Xia Yueke nodded and looked carefully at the merman in front of him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that there really were mermen. Could it be that the orc in front of him was actually a fish?
I just don't know what kind it is, and I don't know if it's edible...
Just when Xia Yueke was daydreaming, the mermaid in front of him cried out in pain. Xia Yueke quickly came to his senses and checked his injuries. He found a deep wound on his tail that was bleeding.
"You are injured, we need to treat it quickly." Xia Yueke said, taking out some herbs from the package she carried with her and quickly bandaging the mermaid's wound.
The mermaid looked at her gratefully and whispered, "I am Xiyuan from the mermaid tribe. I was attacked by a sea snake just now and almost..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a low roar in the distance. Xia Yueke looked up and saw a dark shadow on the sea approaching, which seemed to be a huge marine creature.
"Oh no, that thing is coming!" Lang Ce said vigilantly.
Xiyuan's face turned pale instantly: "That's a deep-sea monster, it was attracted by the commotion of the sea snake! We must leave here quickly, otherwise everyone will be in danger!"
Xia Yueke's heart tightened, and she quickly helped Xiyuan up: "Can you walk?"
Xiyuan nodded. Although his tail was injured, he still managed to stand up: "I can, but we must notify others as soon as possible and let them evacuate the beach!"
Xia Yueke nodded, turned to Lang Ce and Luo Cihe and said, "You go and notify the others first. I'll take Xiyuan to a safe place."
Lang Ce and Luo Ci He looked at each other and nodded quickly: "Okay, be careful!"
The two quickly rushed into the battlefield and began shouting loudly, warning the other orcs to evacuate. Xia Yueke supported Xi Yuan and walked towards the depths of the reef area.
Along the way, Xi Yuan, despite his limited mobility, still tried to keep up with Xia Yueke's pace. He whispered, "Thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might have already..."
Xia Yueke shook her head, her tone firm: "You're welcome, we're all trying to survive. But can you tell me why the deep-sea monster was drawn here?"
Xiyuan's expression grew serious. "The deep-sea ecosystem has become unbalanced. The number of sea snakes has skyrocketed, making it impossible for other creatures to survive. The deep-sea monsters have been forced to leave their own territories and come to the shallow seas. If we don't find a solution to this problem, the entire ocean will be plunged into chaos."
Xia Yueke's heart sank, realizing the seriousness of the problem. She was about to continue asking questions when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her.
"Keke! Are you guys okay?" Qian Jingyao's voice came with a hint of anxiety.
Xia Yuke looked back and found Qian Jingyao and Long Xiaoyu running towards them. Although they had some scars on their bodies, they didn't look seriously injured.
"We're fine!" Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained Xiyuan's situation briefly.
Qian Jingyao nodded, his eyes fell on Xiyuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Mermaids?"
Xi Yuan smiled bitterly and whispered, "Now is not the time to talk about this. We must leave here as soon as possible. The deep-sea monster will soon come ashore."
Long Xiaoyu said calmly, "I've already notified the other orcs, and they're evacuating. However, the sea snakes on the beach haven't been completely dealt with yet, so we need a plan."
Xia Yueke pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xiyuan: "Xiyuan, you are very familiar with the deep sea area. Is there any way to lure away the deep sea beast or solve the problem of sea snakes?"
Xi Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Perhaps there is a way. We mermaids have a special sound wave that can drive away sea snakes and even affect the actions of deep-sea monsters. However, I need to return to the sea to use it."
Xia Yueke frowned: "But your injury..."
Xiyuan shook his head and said firmly: "This injury is nothing. For everyone's safety, I must try."
Qian Jingyao patted Xia Yueke on the shoulder and whispered, "Let him try. We will protect him on the shore."
But there was nothing he could do on the shore, so Xia Yue was still a little worried. However, seeing Xiyuan's confident look, he nodded. Forget it, he was a fish. If he encountered danger, he could just dive into the water and disappear.
Xia Yueke helped Xiyuan walk to the beach. Xiyuan took a deep breath and slowly slid into the water. His tail swayed gently in the water. Although the wound was still bleeding, he seemed unconcerned.
After a moment, Xiyuan began to sing in a low voice, the sound rising and falling like waves, carrying a strange power.
Xia Yueke stood on the shore, nervously watching the changes in the sea.
Gradually, the sea snakes on the beach began to grow restless, retreating into the sea. The deep-sea monsters in the distance also seemed to be affected, slowly stopping their advance.
"It works!" Luo Cihe said excitedly.
