After traveling for several days, Ruan Xiyan and her companions arrived at the eastern ocean. Standing on the beach, they were greeted by an endless, unfathomable blue sea.
The location here is quite remote, far from people, and rarely visited.
Shi Ke removed his black robe, revealing a mermaid's tail underneath.
The mermaid's tail is the same blue as the sea, reflecting the beauty of the sea.
Looking at the familiar ocean in front of her, Ah Li couldn't hide her excitement; she was almost home.
Shi Ke took out two crystal-clear beads and handed them to Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu respectively.
"These are the pearls of our Merfolk clan. They have the power to repel water. With these pearls, you humans can breathe freely in the water without any restrictions."
"The pearl is a very precious thing. I only took it out because you are my friends."
"Oh dear, I know Brother Shi is the best." A-Li said to Shi Ke in a coquettish tone.
Ruan Xiyan carried the mermaid pearl with her. "Let's go then."
Shi Ke nodded and jumped into the sea first, leading the way.
Ruan Xiyan followed not far behind him. She and Jun Yu walked hand in hand in the ocean, looking around at their surroundings.
This shark pearl is really useful; my breathing is not obstructed at all, just as smoothly as it is on land.
Being in the seawater, you can not only see harmless jellyfish swimming by in groups, but also detect the eyes of sea monsters hiding in the shadows.
Most of the magical beasts that live in the sea are called sea monsters, and they are much more troublesome than the magical beasts on land.
However, the bloodline of the Merfolk is noble, ranking among the top in the sea beasts, and Shi Ke's strength is not weak, with his aura spreading around.
Of course, no overconfident sea monster came looking for trouble.
"Master, there are reefs ahead. We need to get through the whirlpools to reach the deep sea." Ah Li looked at the black whirlpool ahead.
Shi Ke, who was leading the way, turned to look at Ruan Xiyan and said, "When we get to the reef whirlpool, follow my steps and don't make a single wrong step."
"Otherwise, once you get caught in the whirlpool of the reefs, even I don't know which sea area the whirlpool will take you to."
There are many dangerous and unknown areas in the sea, and although they have lived here for a long time, there are still many places they dare not set foot in.
"clear."
Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu exchanged a glance and followed Shi Ke's footsteps.
Approaching the center of the whirlpool, Ruan Xiyan felt incredibly small; her own strength seemed insignificant compared to it, as if she could be sucked in at any moment.
Jun Yu held Ruan Xiyan tightly in his arms, shielding her from the storms and waves outside.
I don't know how long I walked through the whirlpools and reefs, but the whirlpools disappeared, and what came into view was an even deeper sea.
Upon reaching the deep sea, they continued forward, and Ruan Xiyan spotted a glimmer of light in the distant depths of the ocean.
The light shone like a dazzling lamp in the deep sea.
"Ah Li, what's that over there?"
“Master, that glowing place is where the coral reef tree is located. The coral reef tree is like a stabilizing pillar in the deep sea.”
"With it, the sea will be calm and the people living in the sea can live in peace and prosperity."
As A-Li introduced the place to Ruan Xiyan, he swam toward the Koi Palace, where the Koi royal family lived.
At this moment, a hundred miles away from the Koi Palace, in an extremely wide trench, the abyssal sea eels and the koi clans of the Merfolk were locked in battle.
The abyssal sea eel has a slender body covered in dense electric light. Once it wraps its body around an enemy, it will release an extremely powerful electric current.
They are so numerous that they are not afraid of engaging in a war of attrition with the koi kings.
The sea monster leading the abyssal eels in their attack has successfully transformed into human form, possessing strength at least equivalent to a human at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm.
General Nanman looked at General Shiwu opposite him and said sarcastically, "Your Merfolk clan is powerful, so why are you willing to be subordinate to the weak Koi royal family?"
"Why should the Koi Clan, who have little fighting power, be the king of this deep sea? A king should be the one with the ability."
"As long as you pledge allegiance to us and help our leader ascend the throne, I can assure you that our leader will share this deep sea area equally with you."
"Wouldn't it be much more pleasant to be king yourself, without having to worry about what others think?"
“To obey the orders of a worthless koi royal family and serve them, I feel sorry for you.”
Despite Nanman's provocations, Shiwu, dressed in his battle robes, remained unmoved, his eyes filled with contempt.
"We've been rivals for so many years, we know each other well and you know my temperament best."
“I would never betray the King. It is thanks to the King’s rule that the deep sea is now at peace.”
“You sea monsters who instigate wars, dream of seizing the throne, and turn the deep sea upside down, do not understand these things at all, and are not worthy of being kings.”
"Enough with the nonsense. You should save your energy for the fight. Maybe you won't be in such a sorry state later."
"You inflexible fool, I was originally thinking of persuading you to join us because of your strength."
"Since you are so stubborn, then die! We have fought many times, and today it is time to settle the score!"
After Nanman finished speaking, a dense current of electricity attacked Shiwu.
A halberd appeared in Shi Wu's hand, and he swung it to block the attack.
The two were deeply in love there, inseparable.
The Merfolk army, composed of various races led by the Merfolk, also clashed with the invading Abyssal Eels.
After enduring a series of fierce attacks from Shiwu, Nanman was forced to retreat steadily.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "As expected of General Shi Wu, who strikes fear into the hearts of sea beasts among the Merfolk, I am indeed no match for you in a one-on-one fight."
"But this time, I came prepared! Today, I will make your people perish along with you."
Nanman took out a conch horn, which was shrouded in a thick, dark green fog.
As he blew the conch shell horn, the thick, dark green fog instantly swept around.
Sensing an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the thick, dark green fog, Shi Wu immediately mobilized his power to protect himself.
He possesses formidable strength and can block in time, but the shark army fighting the abyssal eels below may not be able to attend to both at the same time.
The moment the dark green fog touched the merfolk, large areas of their bodies were burned.
The burning sensation would continue to spread, starting from the part that came into contact with the thick fog and gradually spreading throughout the body.
Merfolk are generally powerful, so they are in relatively good condition. However, other races that are not good at fighting and are weaker will collapse to the ground the moment they come into contact with the dense fog due to the burning pain.
They rolled back and forth on the ground in agony until finally, exhausted and hoarse, they lay motionless, their bodies covered in burns, their original faces unrecognizable.
