Chapter 360 Invitation
Xiyuan's chanting echoed on the sea, the sea snakes gradually retreated, and the deep-sea monsters slowly sank to the bottom of the sea under the influence of the sound waves. The crisis on the beach was temporarily resolved.
Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief. What a big deal!
Although this is only a temporary relief, the ecological imbalance in the deep sea area has not been solved.
Xiyuan swam slowly back to the shore from the sea, his face a little pale. It was obvious that the chanting just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength.
Xia Yueke quickly stepped forward to support him and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Xiyuan shook his head and forced a smile. "I'm fine, just a little tired. But now is not the time to rest. We mermaids have a special ritual that can temporarily stabilize the ecology of the deep sea, but this requires external help."
He paused, glanced at Xia Yueke and her companions, and said sincerely:
"You just saved me and helped our mermaid tribe. I would like to invite you to our underwater palace to discuss how to solve this problem once and for all. Also, haven't you been looking for the Moon-viewing Salt Shell? Perhaps I can help you."
Lang Ce narrowed his eyes and grabbed Xi Yuan's neck. "How do you know what we are looking for? Are you in league with the crab tribe on land?"
Xiyuan's face was pale, and it was obvious at a glance that he was no match for Langce. Langce hadn't even put in any effort when Xiyuan choked and cried out, "Cough cough cough..."
"Let go...I...tell...you..."
Xia Yueke was almost terrified when she saw Xiyuan's expression. "Alright, Langce, let the person finish what he's saying first. Don't strangle him to death. And how are you going to explain it to others?"
Lang Ce then obediently let go of his hand, but his eyes were fixed on Xi Yuan with an extremely dangerous look.
Xiyuan seemed to be frightened and kept hiding behind Xia Yueke. He kept swallowing his saliva and was obviously frightened.
"Ahem...father is right, you beastmen on land are just so barbaric! You..."
Xia Yueke turned around and quickly patted him on the back, "Alright, alright Xiyuan, it was my partner's fault just now. He was just too impatient. After all, we can't afford to be careless when we're out and about."
Xiyuan raised his eyes, his eyes were watery, "You are still the best, they are all so barbaric!"
Xia Yueke didn't know what to say under the childish gaze, so she patiently said, "Why don't you tell me how you knew our goal was the Moon-Seeing Salt Shell? And you can help us find it, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have said that just now!"
Xi Yuan nodded, raising his chin proudly, "Of course I know where the Moon-Seeing Salt Shell is. And I know your purpose is not to ally with those stinky crabs, but many land beastmen have come here to look for this thing!"
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up. "Okay, we agree to go to your seabed, but how about you help us find this Moon-viewing Salt Clam?"
Xi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then muttered to himself, "Strange, I clearly wanted you to work together to find a solution to the problem on the seabed. When did I agree to help you find that?"
Seeing Xiyuan's naive look, Xia Yueke immediately patted his shoulder like a brother and said, "Okay, don't hesitate. I'm just asking you if we saved you just now."
Xiyuan nodded.
"So you're inviting us to your underwater world?"
Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"And you said you could help us, right?"
Xiyuan frowned in thought, then nodded again.
"So, isn't that what you said?"
Xia Yue looked at Xi Yuan, who was already confused, with a smile on her face.
The person behind her was almost trying to hold back his laughter.
Lang Ce secretly looked at Qian Jingyao and lowered his voice, "I didn't expect that the little fox is so good at deceiving people. This simple mermaid can't say anything, right?"
Qian Jingyao was also a little surprised, but he looked at Xia Yueke with even more joy. It seemed that Keke had matured a lot during the time she was outside and had become more cunning. It was unclear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
As expected, the little mermaid Xiyuan was confused for a moment. "It should be what you said. I don't know. Fine then, I will help you get that Yuejian Salt Shell."
Xia Yueke's eyes were already curved with laughter. "I just know that you are a kind and lovely mermaid!"
Xiyuan's ears turned red, but before he could get excited, Xia Yueke continued:
"By the way, you're a mermaid, and we're land beastmen. If we go to the bottom of the sea with you, will we drown? After all, we can't breathe underwater. Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Xi Yuan smiled, patted his chest, and said with certainty:
"I understand your concerns. However, I can guarantee your safety. We mermaids have a special kind of seaweed that allows land beastmen to breathe freely underwater and move freely. Furthermore, our underwater palace has a powerful protective barrier that prevents deep-sea monsters and sea snakes from approaching."
Xia Yueke pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Long Xiaoyu: "What do you think? This is an opportunity. Perhaps we can find the Moon-viewing Salt Clam and help the mermaids stabilize the deep-sea ecology. We don't have to worry about freshwater issues anymore. I think we can complete Hailin's instructions this time on the seabed."
"Didn't he ask us to bring some fish? Let's just get some deep-sea fish. They've definitely never seen or eaten them. By then, our mission will be complete, and we won't have to worry about fresh water anymore."
Lang Ce said calmly, "Although the risk is great, if we don't try, the problem will only get worse. I agree to go."
Luo Cihe also nodded: "Yes, we don't have a better choice now. Instead of waiting here passively, it's better to take the initiative."
Long Xiaoyu looked at Xiyuan and said sternly, "Xiyuan, can we trust you? If you have any intention of deceiving us, we will show no mercy."
Xiyuan looked directly into Long Xiaoyu's eyes and said firmly, "I swear on the honor of the mermaids that I will never deceive you. Although we mermaids and land orcs have rarely interacted, we know that only through cooperation can we overcome this crisis together."
Xia Yueke took a deep breath and finally made a decision: "Okay, we'll go with you. However, we have to notify the other tribesmen first and let them know where we are going."
Xi Yuan nodded: "Of course. Then I will go back with you now. When you are ready, we will go to the underwater palace together."
In this way, Xia Yueke, her companions and Xiyuan temporarily returned to the camp.
