It wasn't until the figure of the little mermaid disappeared that Luo Xi reluctantly looked back.
"King." Tesia swam up and held his cold hand, "Are you feeling better today?"
"Tesia, there are no outsiders, you don't have to call me this." Luo Xi pursed her lips that had regained their color slightly, "After all, we are partners."
Tecia lowered her head and kissed the back of the young man's hand. He raised his eyes with gentle and caring eyes, "You will always be my king."
It was the young man in front of him who gave him new life. Recalling that dark time, Tesia even thought about dying.But just when he was in a panic, he heard the most beautiful singing in the world.
The young man's appearance was like a ray of light, dispelling the gloom in his heart and giving him hope to live.
Luo Xi's eyes were slightly red, "I don't know how long I can stay with you. Tesia, promise me that you will live well even if I am not here, okay?"
Thinking of the boy's death, Tesia felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, making him miserable.
Facing the young man's pleading eyes, Tesia couldn't bear to refuse, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, I promise you, my king."
He held the boy in his arms, their two hearts pressed together, feeling the "thumping, thumping, thumping" heartbeat of the other's chest.He sighed silently, My King, my heart only beats for you. If you are no longer there, what is the difference between my life and death.
Luo Xi suddenly wanted to cry again. Tears welled up in her eyes and turned into pearls and fell into the water.
Tesia hurriedly opened her hands to catch the falling pearls. He looked helpless and said, "Why are you crying again?"
Luo Xi tried her best to smile, "I won't cry anymore. Dong Zai will definitely be able to find the power of Poseidon. I believe in him."
"Do you really want to tell them where the other Poseidon's power is?" Tesia didn't really believe Han Zhan and the others, but other than that, they had no other choice. He couldn't leave Wang here alone..
Luo Xi said apologetically: "It's all because of my poor health. Going out with you will only drag you down."
"It's okay." How could I blame you, my king.Tesia didn't say the rest.
Luo Xi felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy from Dong Zai, just like a fish, naturally close to the sea water. He said firmly: "I believe in Dong Zai."
The implication of his words was that he only believed Dong Zai, not Han Zhan and the others.
Tesia thought to herself that the little mermaid was indeed quite lovable.
The rising sun in the early morning dispersed the thick fog. Ari raised his eyes and looked at the islands in the distance. The mermaids ran down from the islands one after another and plunged into the sea. At the same time, their legs turned into fish tails, splashing against the sea water, setting off waves.White spray.
Ari noticed that they were holding the wide leaves carefully, and there seemed to be something wrapped inside. "What are you doing on the island?"
The shark remembered what Mr. Thesia had just told him. If the guests asked some irrelevant questions, he could answer them selectively.
He thought about it and replied cautiously: "Our king likes the sweet fruits on the island. The first thing we do when we get up every morning is to go to the island to pick fruits."
At this time, the mermaids who went out to hunt came back. They grabbed the fishing net and swam back. The fishing net was full of lively fish. It can be seen that today is another fruitful day.
Seeing this, the shark couldn't help but smile with joy on his face.
Ari touched his chin, thoughtfully. It seemed that the operating model of this sea area was very mature. Mermaids and sharks got along well with each other. Everyone had a clear division of labor and strict management.
It is worth learning from their sea areas.
Thinking of the timid and fearful sharks in their sea area, Ari had a headache.They had previously exchanged groups of sharks with Donika Sea Territory, allowing them to live in the city after they built the sea city.The mermaids in the sea do not treat the sharks as slaves, but they always look down on the weak sharks and rarely communicate with them.
Ari never looked down on the sharks just because they were weak. Instead, he felt that the sharks could survive the threats of dragons and countless large sea beasts for tens of thousands of years, and they must have their own way of survival.
Because they are weak, they stick together to survive.
As I was thinking about it, I accidentally swam far away.
The shark reminded him tactfully, "Dear guest, there are dragons here, we'd better go back."
"Are there many dragons in your sea area?"
"Half a year ago, bugs appeared in the sea. The mermaid tribe suffered heavy casualties, and so did our shark tribe. At this time, the dragon tribe attacked us again." The shark man said, with some fear on his face, considering how serious the situation was at that time.
"Fortunately, Lord Thesia appeared at this time. He led us to kill the insects and drive away the dragons."
Ari raised his own question, "Why did you build a house on the island?"
"Master Thesia said that bugs can only move in the water. When they reach land, they will die quickly when exposed to the sun. So he led us to build our house on the island so that we will not be afraid of being attacked by bugs."
Judging from the shark's tone, they should be very grateful and respectful to Tesia.
"If Thesia is so powerful, why isn't he your king? Don't you admire him very much?"
Hearing this, the shark's face changed slightly, and he said seriously: "Although you are our guest, you can't say that. Wang, he is very powerful, you just don't know it."
Ari was suddenly very interested, "Then tell me why he is so powerful."
It was probably a question that the sharks avoided. No matter what Ai Rui asked next, the sharks remained silent.
Ari was uninterested and shrugged, "Forget it, let's go back."
When he returned to the island, he happened to meet Han Zhan who had returned from Luoxi's palace. Ai Rui saw a huge pearl floating in from the window out of the corner of his eye, "Where did that pearl come from?"
The pearl floated into the window and then stopped.
At this time, Dong Zai's tender little voice sounded outside, "Oh, Dad, please pull me up, I can't get in."
Ai Rui tilted his head and saw Dong Zai's little body stuck in the window. He laughed loudly, "Hey, little Dong Zai, it's time for you to lose weight. You're so fat that you can't even squeeze in through the window."
Jiali almost couldn't hold back her laughter. He tried his best to lower the corners of his lips and reached out to hold down Lan Zhenzhu, "Zai Zai, let go quickly."
Han Zhan's dark eyes were also filled with smiles. He swam outside and saw Dong Zai's tail and arms stuck in the window. He looked pitiful and was forced to listen to Ari's ridicule., so angry that his eyes were red.
"Zai Zai, don't move." Han Zhan raised his hand and grabbed Dong Zai's little arm and slowly pulled him out. He checked and found that Dong Zai's shoulder was a little red, but fortunately he was not injured.
Swimming into the house, Dong Zai snorted angrily.
No matter how much Ai Rui tried to please him, Dong Zai resolutely turned his back and deliberately ignored him.
Dong Zai had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally looked forward to the arrival of night.
The sharks held the wooden plates and brought them to the stone house. "Dear guests, this is what the king ordered us to send."
Dong Zai swam out the door impatiently, his blue eyes staring straight at the wooden plates in their hands.
Thinly sliced sashimi were placed on the plate. The fish fillets were coated with a layer of red jam, which looked delicious.
Dong Zai said softly: "Is it for me to eat?"
The shark smiled and said, "Yes."
"Then come in."
From behind, the sharks came in carrying a stone bed and placed it in the middle of the stone house.The stone bed is very high, and the bed surface just rises above the water.The shark carrying the dishes swam in and placed the dishes neatly on the stone bed. More than a dozen dishes filled the entire stone bed.
"Enjoy it slowly." After saying that, the shark exited the stone house.
Dong Zai grabbed a piece of sashimi and brought it to Jiali's lips, "Dad, eat it."
"My Zai Zai is so good." Jiali hugged Dong Zai, kissed her little cheek, and then opened her mouth to eat the sashimi without any ceremony.
"Dad, is it delicious?"
Although Jiali is not used to eating it, the mixture of sweet jam and tender raw fish really tastes special. He prefers sweet sauce fish to grilled fish, "It's delicious."
Dong Zai grabbed another piece of sashimi and said, "Brother, eat it."
Han Zhan lowered his head to bite the sashimi, and his lips touched Dong Zai's little hand.
"Is it delicious?" Dong Zai asked with a small face.
Han Zhan no longer remembers whether the sashimi is delicious or not. All his attention is on the soft palm of the little mermaid.
He nodded, "It's delicious."
Dong Zai happily picked up the plate, grabbed the sashimi, opened his mouth and took a bite. The thinly sliced sashimi seemed to melt in his mouth, and with the sweet and slightly sour jam, it was sour.The sweet taste exploded in the taste buds, and Dong Zai narrowed his eyes happily, it was so delicious.
Ai Rui waited for a long time, but did not see Dong Zai feeding him sashimi. Seeing Dong Zai eating so deliciously, Ai Rui said resentfully: "Little Dong Zai."
"Huh?" Dong Zai raised his head.
"Did you forget something?"
No?Dongzai's face was confused, "Uncle Airi, are you sleepy? Go to sleep."
Jia Li rubbed Dong Zai's hair and said, "Ignore him." As she said that, Jia Li scolded Ai Rui with her eyes. You are an old and disrespectful person. At such an old age, you are still fighting for fish with Xiao Zai Zai.
Ari pinched his nose and said, "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep."
Seeing that Ai Rui was deflated, the winter cub chuckled, "Dad, brother, come and eat meat. Uncle Ai Rui will come too."
Bad fish are not allowed to be eaten.
Ari patted Kyle on the shoulder, gloating so much that he seemed to have forgotten how he was disliked by the winter cub just now.
The next morning, they were still awakened by the sound of conches.
Tesia came to them on time, "The king is ready, you can set off at any time."
Dong Zai rubbed his eyes, "Dad, are we leaving?"
"Yes, Zaizai, eat some meat first, and then we'll leave after you're full."
Tecia prepared food for them today. After eating, she took them to see Luo Xi, and Kyle was left behind.
When they first met, Ari asked: "Can you tell me now, where is the rest of Poseidon's power?"
Luo Xi did not answer Ari's question directly, but asked them, "Do you know why Poseidon died?"
"Ahem!" Ai Rui quickly interrupted him.
But it was too late, Dong Zai heard it, he flattened his mouth and looked in disbelief.
Han Zhan saw that Dong Zai looked wrong, "Zai Zai, what's wrong?"
Dongzai's eyes were full of tears. He raised his little face and asked Luo Xi, "Is Poseidon really dead?"
Luo Xi bent down and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Dong Zai's eyes, "I'm sorry, I just said the wrong thing. Poseidon will not die."
"Really?"
"Truly, Poseidon will always exist."
After comforting the winter cub, Luo Xi continued: "Don't you think there have been more movements in the sea in recent years?"
Jiali guessed, "Is it because of Poseidon?"
Luo Xi shook her head, "The God of the Sea once predicted that a disaster more terrifying than magma would erupt on the seabed in the future, and almost all life in the sea would be annihilated."
Hearing this, Han Zhan and the others' expressions gradually became solemn, "Are you sure it's true?" After all, they had never heard of this prophecy.
"There used to be many legends of Poseidon, and some mermaids had seen Poseidon with their own eyes. However, in recent hundreds of years, Poseidon has almost never appeared. Many mermaids even don't know about Poseidon's existence, because Poseidon has lost his power and cannot appear in front of mermaids."
"The God of the Sea foresaw that there would be a disaster in the sea in the future. He sacrificed his divine power to suppress the sea. The God of the Sea who lost his divine power gradually became weak until he fell into a deep sleep." At this point, Luo Xi's tone changed and she said almost bitterly, "NoThinking that Moreau took the opportunity to steal the power left by Poseidon, causing Poseidon to completely...disappear."
Han Zhan was silent for a long time and asked him, "How do you know this?" Luo Xi spoke in too much detail, which made people feel a little suspicious.
Luo Xi said softly: "My mother and her people once served the sea god."
"It is precisely because of the blessing of Poseidon that my parents were able to give birth to me."
Han Zhan and the others couldn't help but be shocked, they didn't expect the truth to be like this.
"The sharks in this sea area are the descendants of the sharks who once served the Poseidon," Luo Xi said bitterly, "This is where Moro stole the Poseidon's power!"
Jiali asked him hurriedly, "Where is the temple of Poseidon?"
Luo Xi said regretfully: "The temple of Poseidon is under this island, but with the disappearance of Poseidon, the temple also disappeared."
Dong Zai blinked his eyes curiously, "What does the Poseidon look like?"
When mentioning Poseidon, Luo Xi's eyes were clear and bright. He said slowly in a nostalgic tone: "My mother said that Poseidon is very gentle and kind. Although there are rumors outside that he is moody and cruel, he has never hurt anyone.We sharks just can't control their temper."
Tecia shouted in a low voice: "King."
Luo Xi suddenly remembered, "By the way, it's almost time." He said seriously, "The destructive power of Poseidon is hidden in the waters of Isbela. You should be careful when going to Isbella. Their Wang Noi has alreadyGot the power to control water.”
Han Zhan drew a map in his mind where the Poseidon's divine power was distributed. Ari and the others found the power to control water in the Lise Sea. Isbella and here, the three locations were drawn into a triangle, while the Art Sea,Right in the middle of the triangle.
This is not accidental, more like deliberate arrangement.
"Han Zhan, what are you thinking about? It's time to go." Ai Rui shouted.
From here to the Valen Sea area, we have to pass through several sea areas in the middle, and it will take several days on the way.
Ari returned to the stone house, picked up Kyle, and they swam in the direction of the rising sun.
In recent days, Kyle has been trying to reduce his presence. I don't know if he has some bad intentions in mind, which makes Ari have to distract him and keep an eye on him.
They swam far away until they reached another sea area, but they didn't meet a mermaid.Magma erupted in this sea area, and the hot magma swallowed everything in an instant.
Now a year has passed and the magma has gradually cooled.When they sank to the bottom of the sea, they could still see the solidified magma underneath. It was so thick that it was hard to imagine how many bones were buried inside.
This disaster came without warning.
Han Zhan and the others felt heavy.
If it were them, they might not be able to escape from the sea alive when the magma erupts.
As for the disaster Luo Xi mentioned, I don't know when it will come. The Poseidon is dead and his divine power has been stolen. Who else can prevent the disaster from happening?
The passing ocean currents have brought abundant seafood, but it will take a long time to return to what it was before.
According to the time, they should have reached the Valen Sea area today, but by evening, they had not yet seen the island that Kyle mentioned.
Apparently, they were lost.
At night, they found a small island to rest. Bugs would not climb onto the land, so they did not have to be wary of bugs at night.
As they drifted off to sleep, they heard the mermaid singing.
Han Zhan opened his eyes and discerned that the mermaid's song was coming from far away.
However, the singing was getting closer and closer, and the singing mermaid was swimming in their direction.
Ari stood up and looked in the direction where the singing came from, "I'll go take a look."
After a while, Ari brought back a female mermaid.
Then under the hazy moonlight, Jiali saw the female mermaid's face clearly. He instantly showed a false smile, "Hey, it's you, long time no see. How are you doing lately?"
The female mermaid stroked her wavy hair, her long fish tail dragging on the beach, "Are you unhappy to see me?"
Ari swam up from behind and asked, "Ellie, why are you here?"
Ellie sighed with a complicated expression, "It's a long story."
She explained that an earthquake broke out in the Great Trench at that time, and she, Zuo Lun, and the others were washed away by the sea water. When she came back to her senses, she was no longer in the At Sea area, and she did not know where she was washed away by the sea water.
"I can only search slowly. Who knows, I will find it again and come back here." It was here that she encountered a magma explosion and almost lost her life.
Ellie spotted the winter cub and frowned, "Why did you bring the little mermaid out?"
Jiali picked up Dong Zai, who was sleeping like a piglet, and said, "My and Lei Zhe's cubs are cute, aren't they?" After being tossed like this, Dong Zai still didn't wake up. She pursed her pink and tender lips and turned over to continue.sleep.
Ai Li choked immediately, this Jiali was still so angry.
She stroked her forehead and said, "Okay, it's all in the past that I pursued Lei Zhe, and I don't like him now."
Hearing this, Jia Li was dubious, and finally put down his hostility. At that time, he had not become a partner with Lei Zhe, and Ellie pursued Lei Zhe very hard.Jiali is worried that Lei Zhe will accept her and regard Ellie as a love rival, even a bit tit-for-tat.
It wasn't until he got together with Lei Zhe that he deliberately hung out in front of Ellie every day, making Ellie very angry.Ellie left the Art Sea area not long after and did not come back for two years.
"Eh? Why are you here, Kyle?"
Kyle sneered and said nothing.
"Ellie, do you know where the Valen Sea is?" Ari asked her.
"You want to go to the Valen Sea area? Then you are going in the wrong direction. The Valen Sea area is over there." Ellie raised her finger and pointed to the diagonal back of the island.
Originally, Ai Rui and the others were facing the right direction of the rising sun, but later they shifted their direction and happened to pass by the Valen Sea.
"What are you going to do in the Valen Sea? There are no fish there anymore."
"Let's look for something." Ari smiled and said no more.
Ellie said casually: "Then let me go there with you."
"No need." Han Zhan said coldly, "We can just go there ourselves."
Ellie felt a faint sense of oppression from him. She had never seen Han Zhan before, and she was a little surprised who he was.This meeting was rejected mercilessly by him, and Ellie couldn't help but look extremely embarrassed.
In particular, both Ai Rui and Jia Li remained silent, as if they acquiesced to the black-haired young man's intention.
She smoothed her long hair and pretended not to care and said, "Well, if you run into trouble, call me anytime. After all, I'm familiar with this place."
Ai Rui winked at Han Zhan, Ai Li was his half-sister, so there should be no problem.
Han Zhan turned sideways to block the sleeping little mermaid. It was so unreasonable for Ellie to appear at this time, and it was hard for him not to doubt her.
His mother can become Noi's partner and in turn deal with them. Ellie may also be Noi's person.
Dong Zai woke up and found a strange female mermaid on the island. Dong Zai couldn't help but look at her secretly.
Ai Li opened her eyes and saw a pink and jade-shaped little face peeking out of Han Zhan's arms across from her.Dong Zai noticed Ellie looking over, and he quickly retracted.
Although Ellie doesn't like Jiali, his cub is unexpectedly cute, which really makes her like him.
A gentle smile hung on her lips, "Little mermaid, what's your name?"
The winter cub fearfully hid in Han Zhan's arms, with only a small tail fin exposed.
Ellie's smile froze. Is she that scary?
Han Zhan raised his arms to hug Dong Zai and nodded to Ellie, his tone as cold as ever, "He is timid." The implication is, don't scare him.
The smile on Ellie's face was almost unbearable, and she managed to say, "It's okay." It was too dark last night, so Ellie didn't look carefully. When she looked at the little mermaid again, she noticed something strange, the skin at the corners of the little mermaid's eyes.Smooth and delicate.She seemed to say casually, "It must have been a year since he broke out of his shell. Why hasn't he awakened the pattern yet?"
"Is there any problem?" Jiali grabbed the big fish and swam to the shore. He raised his hand and threw it. The big fish fell in front of Ellie with a "snap". He raised his chin and said, "My baby broke its shell."It’s too late, it’s too late to wake up.”
Ellie forced a smile and said, "I'm just a little curious."
Ari tore off a piece of fish and handed it to her, "Where are you going to go next?"
She took the fish but didn't eat it, "I want to go back to the sea of Yate."
Ari said: "That's good. When we find something, you can go back with us."
Ellie said softly: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."
After Jiali and the others had eaten, they said goodbye to Ellie and swam in the direction she pointed. If nothing else happened, they would be able to reach the Valen Sea area at night.
Ellie sat on the shore, quietly watching their leaving figures, her eyes dark and unclear.
