Seeing Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Nene entering the grotto, Li Xuehao also quickly followed behind, although he was not a mermaid, but his speed was faster than the two, and he quickly caught up with them and went hand in hand with them.

In the grotto, the gloomy environment is not an obstacle for Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Nene to be a mermaid. Perhaps on land, their eyes need light to see clearly, just like ordinary people, but in the sea, their eyes emit a faint blue glow, which allows them to see everything around them even in the dark.

In the grotto, the cold environment made the two of them tremble slightly, but they did not flinch in the slightest, especially for Aragaki Yuma, this is her former home.

But now this home has long been deserted, except for the cold sea, and the white bones that are laid everywhere under the grotto.

Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Nene found out for the first time, and the two of them were shocked and then became sad, and they knew very well what those white bones represented.

Aragaki Yuma dived underneath, as if she wanted to see the miserable bones, perhaps among them was her parents.

Unfortunately, the scattered bones were almost all the same, but they differed in size and thickness, but this was obviously not enough for her to recognize whether there were her parents or not.

Looking at the white bones, the sad atmosphere slowly spread around Aragaki Yuma, she didn't cry, but the dark blue tears poured out of her eyes, like crystal clear pearls in the sea.

Li Xuehao was not far behind her, and grabbed one of them, legend has it that in fairy tales, the tears of mermaids have a magical effect, and even related to immortality, he felt it, the tears did contain something more special, and his heart couldn't help but move, and put this tear into the storage ring, but the remaining tears drifted to the outside of the grotto with the flow of seawater.

"By the truth. Mizuno Nene swam to Aragaki Yuma's side and hugged her gently, although she was not as sad as Aragaki Yuma, but she also felt the same way, because these dead people were once her kindred.

"Ningning ......" Aragaki Yuma shrunk her body in her arms, and wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry at all. Judging from the desolation she saw at the scene, no one had been here for a long time, and the white bones scattered everywhere told her even more cruelly that her people and parents might have all died.

Li Xuehao also came to Aragaki Yuzhen's side, compared to her and Mizuno Ningning, the height of more than one meter eight looked much petite in front of the two, he patted Aragaki Yuzhen's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Aragaki, in addition to us, there is an uninvited guest here. ”

“...... What?" Yuma Aragaki didn't react at first, but when he realized what he said, he quickly looked around in shock.

Mizuno Ningning also turned his head to look left and right, the space of a hundred meters above the grotto was almost invisible under the gaze of the two mermaids, but there was no one else in the entire space except them.

"Over there. Li Xuehao pointed in a certain direction, there was a corner of the grotto, and there was a sunken pit in the corner, although it was not deep, but it was easy to hide a living thing without being discovered.

"What is it?" Aragaki Yuma endured the grief in his heart, and looked into the distance, but he still couldn't see anything.

"Go over and see. Mizuno Nene said, swimming over there first.

Li Xuehao quickly stepped forward and stopped her behind him: "No, it's okay here." "You know, the living creature that is hidden is not a living creature with good intentions. Although he is there, it will not hurt the two of them, but there is no need to go over and scare the other party.

Li Xuehao casually picked up a stone the size of a dragon's eye at the bottom of the grotto, and shot it at the sunken pit with a flick.

"Poof!" he didn't use much force, and he didn't want to kill the other party at once, but the other party still felt a sharp pain, and suddenly came out of the sunken hole.

It was a strange creature, more than three and a half meters long, covered with bright red fish scales, with a fish's head and fins, but its body was like a snake, and even its tail was a snake's tail, and below the fish's head was a pair of human-like arms under the neck and under the ribs, gray-black in color, unusually thick, and with knotted muscles, which were completely worthy of two or three arms of an adult man.

The pointed fish's mouth is covered with sharp barb-like serrations, which looks hideous and ferocious.

"It's them, it's this kind of thing...... Killed my parents and my people!" Yuma Aragaki immediately recognized what this strange creature was, with fear and resentful killing intent in his eyes.

Mizuno Nene was also startled, and couldn't help but retreat to Aragaki Yuma's side.

In fact, there is no need for Aragaki Yuma to say it, Li Xuehao also recognized the identity of the strange creature in front of him, it is exactly the same as the sea monsters that Aragaki Yuma once painted to show him that attacked the mermaid settlement, as if he came out of the painting.

"Hiss~~hiss~~" The sea monster swallowed its tongue, stared at the scarlet eyes, and stared at the three people in front of it cruelly and ferociously, the tongue was like a snake letter, but it was not a thin strip, but very thick and flat, and it seemed to be covered with barbs, which looked very penetrating.

It was clearly intelligent and didn't rush forward immediately, perhaps observing the weaknesses of a few people. And judging from the fact that it hid when it heard the movement outside, at least the level of intelligence was not low, because the purpose of its hiding was most likely to launch a surprise attack.

Li Xuehao carefully felt the breath on the body of the sea monster, originally he suspected that these sea monsters were very likely to be specially cultivated by someone, if it was really like what he guessed, then there would definitely be the mark of that person or something else on his body.

Sure enough, under the shroud of his divine sense, he sensed a trace of aura from the sea monster's body, although it was very faint and faint, if it wasn't for the deliberate perception, he might not be able to detect it at all, but it was indeed an aura.

This seemed to confirm his suspicion that the sea monster that attacked the merfolk colony had been cultivated by a monk who was comparable to him.

Thinking of this, he became vigilant in his heart, and he also guessed why a sea monster came here to check on him not long after he left, perhaps because the monk behind the scenes might have used some method to sense that someone had come to this grotto, and then immediately sent someone to inspect it.
