Yaya's expression suddenly darkened, and she said, "If that's the case, I want you to fulfill a wish for me." ”

Zhan Chen asked: "What is your wish, my village has been attacked, I have been taken captive, the situation at that time was very chaotic, I have also been separated from everyone, I want to go back to my village to see, maybe, maybe there are still my people there." ”

"Okay, but I don't know where your village is? Can you lead the way?"

"Yes. ”

"Then I'll fly you to your hometown. Zhan Chen said.

Yaya looked embarrassed and said, "Master, I didn't make it clear to you, if I am in heaven, it is very likely that I will not find where my home is." ”

"How can this be?" Zhan Chen said curiously.

"Because it is difficult to distinguish a specific area from the sea on the surface of the sea, and there are many similar places on the blue star, in fact, we mermaids must be in the sea to have a sense of direction, and I can sense the direction of home as soon as I am in the water. ”

Zhan Chen frowned slightly and said, "That might take some more time." ”

"I'm sorry. Yaya lowered her head.

"Hehe, it's okay, I also want to go to your hometown to have a look, lead the way. ”

"Okay!" said Yaya.

So they left the mermaid city again and entered the sea water, and when they got to the sea water, Yaya's lower body underwent a huge change, turning into a huge fish tail, and the fish tail flashed with seven-colored brilliance, which looked particularly beautiful.

Zhan Chen, who was behind her, saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful!" Thinking to herself, it's no wonder that so many people want to attack the mermaid clan, especially the beauties of the mermaid clan, this mermaid woman does have a unique charm.

Although this Yaya only has the cultivation of the one-star star realm, she seems to swim very quickly in the water, and even chases the powerhouse of the three-star star realm, and she is amazed to see Zhan Chen, this fish-man race is indeed a race favored by the sea.

Yaya turned back to Zhan Chen's voice and said, "Master, I'm swimming too slowly. ”

"It's okay, we're not in a hurry anyway. It's just that you have to pay attention, I don't think this sea is a safe place, there are many powerful star beasts, and some of them may not be able to cope with them. ”

"Don't worry, we merfolk are naturally sensitive to strong enemies, and we can stay away from those who are too powerful. ”

"I didn't think you still had this kind of supernatural power. Zhan Chen smiled, thinking that he might have picked up a treasure.

"Most of us merfolk don't like fighting, so we've evolved this kind of supernatural power. ”

"Then why are the other tribes attacking you?"

"I don't know, they seem to be looking for something in our village. ”

"Oh, it looks like there's some kind of secret hidden in your village, and you might be able to find some clues back there now. ”

"Well, I also hope to find out why they attacked us. ”

In the next few days, Zhan Chen roamed in the deep sea under the leadership of Yaya, and it took three months to reach the destination, although it took a long time, but Zhan Chen also saw a lot of new and rare things along the way, so the journey was not too boring.

Yaya's village is naturally located at the bottom of the sea, and there is only one entrance, which is between a deep ditch on the bottom of the sea, and the location is quite secret, even if there are any large sea monsters passing by, they will not notice its existence.

Zhan Chen looked around and said, "Yaya, the entrance to your village is still quite secret. ”

Yaya replied, "Yes, in fact, most of the mermaid tribes are like us, and we merfolk tribes can basically maintain good relations with each other, and there are very few conflicts between them. ”

"Then your village will be attacked, and it seems that there is indeed some eye-popping treasure that exists. Zhan Chen said casually, he understood very well the truth that greed drives people crazy.

"I don't know about that. Yaya had confusion written on her face.

The two entered the entrance, through a deep black tunnel about three hundred meters long, and then entered the village.

After entering the village, Zhan Chen was deeply shocked by what he saw, this is a cave built underwater, the high top is more than 300 meters above the ground, the rock wall is covered with a kind of fluorescent ore, which shrouds the originally dark stone cave with a soft light, and then there are more than 200 large and small houses built in the stone cave, and there are colorful coral bushes around these houses, and the legends of fish and shrimp in the past are endless, making the village look like a dreamlike world.

However, in keeping with this beautiful world, there were many merfolk corpses scattered throughout the village, most of them terrified and confused, as if they did not understand why they had always been killed by their own people.

Seeing all this, Yaya's sadness rose again, she quickly swam to a dilapidated house, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the door in, and then Zhan Chen saw her quickly fleeing from the house, hiding her face and crying.

Zhan Chen hurriedly went over to take a look, there were two corpses lying in the room between them, it was very likely that they were Yaya's parents, everything was understood, he patted Yaya on the shoulder and said, "By the way." ”

Yaya cried, "I don't understand why we have suffered such an accident!"

Zhan Chen was silent for a moment and said, "It is very likely that there is something coveted hidden in your village, remember it well, do you think that something unusual happened in your village before, or there are treasures hidden in the village." ”

Yaya thought for a while, and said confusedly: "No, our village has almost no contact with other fish villages, and everyone rarely goes out, and it is the village chief who repeatedly reminds me not to stay away from the village if there is nothing to do, so I didn't know how big the outside world is until I was taken captive." ”

Zhan Chen thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think this is abnormal? Why does the village chief emphasize not leaving the village?"

Yaya recalled for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly why, but when I was a child, I once went to the village chief's house to play and asked him what the outside world was like? He told me that the outside world was terrible, full of unscrupulous people for profit, so he took his people to this isolated place to build a village, and scared me that as soon as I got outside, there would be terrible monsters that would eat me." ”

Zhan Chen asked again: "Then what do the other people in your village think of the village chief's decision?" ”

"They didn't object, because the village chief is highly respected in the village, and he is the strongest in the village, and when the other tribes invaded us, the village chief also led the strong people in the village to fight them, but they were killed by the enemy, and then they broke into the village......" Yaya choked up when she said this.

Zhan Chen sighed, "I understand your feelings. ”

Yaya said again: "Master, I still have one last wish that has not been fulfilled, can you promise me to let me bury my father and mother and the people in the village?"

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Naturally." ”

After that, Zhan Chen helped her collect all the corpses of the people in the village, looking at the piles of corpses, Zhan Chen asked again, "Where are you going to bury them?"

Yaya replied, "According to the rules, I will bury them in the holy place of our village. ”

"Holy Land, what is that place?" Zhan Chen asked curiously.

"It's right behind our village, I'll take you there right away. ”

"Okay. ”

Taking the corpses of the villagers, Zhan Chen followed Yaya all the way to the back of the village, where a large coral forest was planted, like a labyrinth, Yaya took Zhan Chen to skillfully circle around the coral grove and soon came to the end of the coral forest, where was a huge open field, and in the middle of the clearing, there was a coral tree more than thirty meters high.

It was the first time Zhan Chen had seen such a beautiful coral tree, it was pink all over and exuded a charming light. Yaya pointed to the tree and said, "This is the sacred tree in our village, and when villagers died, the village chief would always hold a ceremony for them in front of the tree and then bury them under the tree. ”

Zhan Chen looked carefully around the tree and wondered, "Under the tree?"

Yaya seemed to see his doubts, and explained: "Don't worry, master, there is still a mechanism on this coral tree, and I will take you down after I hold the burial ceremony first." ”

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yaya then held a simple burial ceremony for the villagers, after which she pressed her little hand to a special place on the trunk of the tree, and then silently recited a long series of incantations in her mouth, and the vision finally happened, and a small door appeared on the trunk of the coral tree, which had been integrated.

Zhan Chen's eyes froze and said, "This is"

"Come with me. Yaya opened the door as she spoke, and then walked in, Zhan Chen hesitated for a moment and followed her in.

When the two entered the gate, the entrance was closed, and at the same time, a light lit up in the dark space, illuminating the way forward, and a downward passage appeared at their feet. Zhan Chen looked around, and was surprised to find that there was not a drop of water in this space, it looked very dry, it was clear that there was seawater everywhere outside, but it did not penetrate in, it seemed that some kind of special mechanism was arranged here.

The two continued to descend the stairs, and Zhan Chen saw murals painted on the walls on both sides, the contents of the murals were all-encompassing, some were even strange, but they seemed to be about the mermaid family, and it could be seen that these murals had a very long history of existence.

Zhan Chen couldn't help but ask Yaya, "Yaya, was this underground space built by your village chief?"

Yaya shook her head and said: "No, I also asked my father and mother when I first entered the secret passage, and they said that this ruin seems to have existed before the village chief brought them here, it is said that it was a holy place built by our mermaid ancestors, and only the village chief knows this place, after he came here, he declared this coral tree we entered as a sacred tree, and everything in the village has to be sacrificed under this tree, and if someone in our village dies, it will also be buried under this tree." ”

Zhan Chen groaned: "It seems that your village chief is not simple. ”

"Yes, it is said that our village chief used to be an important figure in the merfolk clan, but then he returned to our village for some reason and became the village chief. ”

"I see. ”

As the two of them spoke, they had come to the end of the passage, and what came into view was a huge hall, and in the hall there were a mouthful of sarcophagi, as many as a thousand mouths.

Looking at these coffins, Zhan Chen casually asked, "Are these all the dead people in your village?"

Unexpectedly, Yaya shook her head.
