Chapter 81

Chapter 81

It was a gray-tailed mermaid, very similar to the mermaids of the Oslaika tribe. Its eyes were dark gray, its tail was slightly shorter, and its color was so light that it was almost transparent. It was good at hiding itself in the ocean.

As soon as Ari and the others got closer, the gray-tailed mermaid discovered them.

He turned around and saw the stranger fish, his face changed slightly and his tone was unkind, "Who are you?"

Ari cleared her throat, "We are the mermaids of Lacey Sea."

The Lacey sea area is also one of the sea areas that plots against them.

Ari guessed that their Ultra Sea Territory secretly communicated with Lacey Sea Territory.

Sure enough, when he heard Ai Rui say that he came from the waters of Lacey, the gray-tailed mermaid relaxed his vigilance and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Ari smiled, swam over, and strangled the gray-tailed mermaid by the neck like lightning, preventing him from making a sound for help, "Why don't we go and talk."

Seeing the gray-tailed mermaid raise her hand to grab the conch hanging from her waist, Yuan Xi, with quick eyes and quick hands, pressed the gray-tailed mermaid's claws, turned her wrist, and easily broke his fingers.

Yuan Xi didn't notice, but his sharp nails scratched the back of the gray-tailed mermaid's hand, and a drop of blood dripped down his fingers onto the conch.

With a "buzz" sound, the conch vibrated slightly, and then a black insect emerged from the conch and flew towards the original stream.

Yuan Xi stretched out his hand and pinched it. The insect caught between his fingers twisted wildly. He frowned, cut off the insect's head, and threw it into the water.

Ari knocked the gray-tailed mermaid unconscious and wrapped it in a fishing net. Then he grabbed Yuan Xi's finger and checked it carefully, "You weren't bitten, were you?"

Yuan Xi shrank his hands and failed to break away. He turned his face away and pointed his pointed ears at Ari, "No injuries."

Ari stared at the tip of his ear for a while, but still resisted touching it. He pinched his fingers and said, "Let's go and meet Lei Zhe and the others."

He was dragging the fishing net with his left hand, and with his free right hand, he wanted to reach out to pull Yuan Xi in. He saw Yuan Xi holding his hands behind his back and swimming slowly behind him.

Ai Rui retracted his right hand angrily and looked at Yuan Xi with a helpless smile.

Yuan Xi looked away, his eyes wandering, and the tips of his exposed ears were already red.

The two of them successfully met up with Lei Zhe and the others. Dongchen and Han Zhan happened to be not far away, so they came over together.

Ari pulled off the fishing net, grabbed the hair of the gray-tailed mermaid, and patted his face.

The gray-tailed mermaid woke up leisurely, and as soon as he woke up, he faced Ari's face, and he immediately realized that he had been caught.He was about to call out to his companions, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ari grabbed his neck, and all his words were blocked in his throat.

The gray-tailed mermaid glared hatefully.

"How to deal with it?" Ari turned to ask Lei Zhe.

The Ultra Sea is very far away from the land, and there are no islands within the territorial waters. As long as the gray-tailed mermaid is released, he will shout out. Unless he is killed, they will not get useful information.

"Dad, can you let me try?" Dongchen asked Lei Zhe.

Lei Zhe agreed without hesitation, "But don't get too close to him." Then he used his eyes to signal Han Zhan to protect Dongchen.

Dongchen looked into the eyes of the gray-tailed mermaid, "We'll just ask you a few questions. It won't hurt you. Don't call me your companion, okay?"

"No..." As soon as he said the words, the gray-tailed mermaid was in a daze, and he nodded with dull eyes.

Seeing this, Ari let him go.

"Are you raising insects?" Dongchen asked him.

The gray-tailed mermaid replied stiffly: "Yes."

"Then what are you doing to catch the sharks?"

"The king asked us to raise insects." Before Dongchen asked again, he continued talking to himself, "He also asked us to catch sharks and sea animals to feed the insects."

Lei Zhe's eyes were slightly cold, they actually used the sharks to feed the insects.

Jia Li and Yuan Xi also frowned, feeling deeply disgusted by the behavior of the gray-tailed mermaid and the others.

"Wang said that the insects fed by the sharks are the most powerful. They can help us occupy the entire ocean."

Dongchen lowered his eyes and looked at the gray-tailed mermaid with a calm gaze without mercy. He just said softly: "There are worms in your stomach."

The gray-tailed mermaids are reaping the consequences. How many mermaids die because of them, they have to pay with their own lives.

Han Zhan was stunned when he caught a glimpse of the indifference on Dong Chen's face. Dong Chen felt strange to him at this time. He couldn't help but think of the expression of contempt for life shown by Dong Chen when he killed Noi in the waters of Isbella.

Just for a moment, Dongchen's eyelashes flickered and he turned back to the familiar Dongchen.

Lei Zhe and the others were all focused on Dong Chen's words and did not notice the change in Dong Chen's expression.

Only Han Zhan saw it.

Ai Rui reached out and pressed the belly of the gray-tailed mermaid with a solemn look on his face. Apparently, the gray-tailed mermaid didn't know that there were bugs in his body.

At this time, the gray-tailed mermaid suddenly woke up, "Impossible!"

"Can't you feel it?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the gray-tailed mermaid really felt a dull pain in her stomach, as if there were real bugs crawling inside.

"They said they could lure the bugs out. Yes, the king must have a way." The gray-tailed mermaid shook off Ai Rui's hand and tried to swim away in a panic, "I'll go find the king."

Ari caught him back and patted the gray-tailed mermaid on the face, "Don't leave in a hurry. Where are your companions?"

"I don't know, we've been operating separately."

Ari said "tsk" impatiently, looking for them one by one, it was too much trouble.

Han Zhan said calmly: "Just lure them out."

Jiali touched her chin and smiled maliciously, "This is a good idea."

"Who is here, come and help me——"

The sound quickly spread in all directions through the sea water. Soon after, the mermaid replied: "Li Li, what happened -"

"There are sharks——"

The mermaids were shocked when they heard this, and they all put down the sea beasts in their hands and rushed over.

When they rushed over, before they could see clearly, they were attacked by a violent storm.

After dealing with these mermaids, it was getting dark, so they stayed in the Ultra Sea to rest for one night. To guard against sneak attacks by insects, they were divided into several groups and took turns to rest.

After eating and drinking, the mermaids closed their eyes and rested, leaving Dongchen and Hanzhan to keep vigil.

Han Zhan flicked his fish tail, turned over and swam over Dong Chen, caressed his cheek with his soft fingertips, slowly moved down, and finally pressed on the scales of his fish tail, his dark eyes getting darker and darker.

Dongchen patted Han Zhan's hand away, fearing to wake up the other mermaids, and whispered, "Dad and the others are here."

"it does not matter."

No matter how Han Zhan tried to coax him, Dongchen just refused to agree.

"Okay." Han Zhan didn't force any more. He retracted his hand, lowered his head and pecked the corner of Dongchen's lips, "Go to sleep, I'll just keep watch."

They spread out to find the remaining merfolk.

Soon they discovered Ultra's sea city and found the imprisoned sharks inside. When they rescued them, they were already dying.

Their bellies were swollen and full of bugs and they were dying.

Even though mermaids were used to seeing life and death, seeing such a tragic scene could not help but sympathize with them.

After all, the sharks are so innocent.

Dongchen slowly swam in front of the shark.

Seeing Dongchen, the shark's eyes lit up with a faint light, and blood-red tears fell from the corners of his eyes, turning into red pearls and falling into the sea water.

Dongchen bent down and opened his hands to catch the pearl, "Don't cry."

The shark's voice was hoarse. He used his last strength to grab Dongchen's fish tail and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to die."

"You won't die."

Dongchen crushed the pearl, raised his hand and sprinkled the powdered pearl powder towards the sharks.

Invisible pearl powder fell on the shark's body, and the bugs in his body suddenly became quiet.

Ari exhaled a long breath of sea water, thinking that the sharks would definitely die. He picked up the sharks with fishing nets and took them away from this sinful sea city.

After swimming a certain distance, Dongchen turned back and waved his hand, and Haicheng collapsed.

The mermaids were shocked.

In fact, Dong Chen had exposed a lot before, and the mermaids were mentally prepared for it, but when they actually guessed Dong Chen's identity, they were still so frightened that they gasped.

After handing the sharks back to the shark clan, they set off non-stop to the next sea area.

When they arrived at the next sea area, it was already dark, so they planned to rest for the night before taking action tomorrow.

Everyone could notice that Dongchen's mood continued to be depressed after coming out of the Ultra Sea.

Han Zhan touched Dong Chen's eyebrows and said, "Don't be sad. After this is over, I will take you to play with Luo Xi."

Dongchen bit her lower lip, "Brother, this shouldn't be like this."

Han Zhan touched his hair, said nothing, and listened quietly.

"Poseidon did not create mermaids to kill each other." Dong Chen's eyes gradually became firmer. He seemed to have figured out something, and his expression was no longer confused.

Han Zhan held Dongchen's hand tightly. No matter what he wanted to do, he would always be his backing.

It took them half a month to clear out those sea areas.

A few days ago, after witnessing Dongchen resuscitating the dying shark, the eyes of the mermaids changed instantly when they looked at Dongchen.

This miracle of resurrection from the dead can only be accomplished by the legendary Poseidon.

Dongchen knew that once he used his ability in front of the mermaids in the At Sea, their attitude towards him would change.They would no longer call him "Jiali's cub" or "Little Dongchen" affectionately like before.

Dongchen has no regrets.

He couldn't always hide his abilities.

Fortunately, the attitude of his friends who grew up with him has never changed.

Dongkui, who was very nervous, couldn't even feel the change in the attitude of the surrounding mermaids towards Dongchen. He even jokingly said to Suotu: "I just heard Dongchen talking to Uncle Fiya. Uncle Fiya looked respectful.It’s so funny.”

Suotu looked at Dongkui with caring eyes.

Ignorant mermaids are the happiest.

After the matter was completely resolved, Lei Zhe and the others were ready to withdraw. If they didn't go back to the sea area, there might be a big commotion. They hoped that Joey and Luo Ya could hold on until they returned.

Han Zhan said: "Chenchen and I plan to go to other sea areas and won't go back for the time being."

Dongkui asked enthusiastically: "Wherever you go, I will go too."

Suotu's forehead jumped when he saw Han Zhan's cold eyes, this idiot with no eyesight.

He grabbed Dongkui's hair and dragged him away, "Where are you going?"

Yuan Xi pursed her lips and smiled softly. He asked Dongchen, "Will you come back next year?"

Dongchen affirmed: "He's back."

"Then we'll see you next year."

"Dad, goodbye!" Dongchen waved to Lei Zhe and Jia Li.

There are surging waves on the sea surface, and the waves roll up Lei Zhe and the others, and will smoothly send them back to the At Sea.

Jiali's face fell, and he leaned on Lei Zhe's shoulder, feeling extremely sad. He would not be able to see his cub for a long time.

Feia touched her chin, "I thought it was an accident before, but I didn't expect that Dongchen was helping us behind the scenes."

Lei Zhe's expression was stern, "Don't talk nonsense when you go back."

"Of course." The other mermaids nodded in agreement.

Until the figures of the fathers disappeared on the horizon, Dongchen turned around and said, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Let's go to the waters of Donica."

Dongchen had heard about this sea area, and he was very curious, "Are there really only female mermaids in the Donika sea area?"

"No, they also have male mermaids."
