The merman princess led Jian Tan and the four people out of the big snail shell and came to the small houses temporarily built with bamboo on the island, these small houses have to be said to be very small compared to the figure of the merman clan, and one can only accommodate one merman to live, so Jian Tan and the four naturally allocated four houses.

"You can rest here for the time being, there will be our men guarding the door, and you can tell them what you need. The mermaid princess glanced at them, and did not leave immediately after explaining, but stopped talking a little.

"Princess, just ask if you have anything. Jian Tan could see that the merman princess had something to say.

"You ...... Can you really save Lan Tian?" Although the princess's brother said that he did not blame her, Lan Tian was always her nephew, and she was still very worried.

"Don't worry, Princess Lanman, we will definitely do our best to save it!" Ying Xiaoling stood up and said.

The merman princess looked up at Ying Xiaoling fixedly, the skin on her face seemed to suddenly become darker, and then she ran away without saying a word, like a girl who had fled in the wilderness.

"What's going on?" Ying Xiaoling couldn't scratch his head.

"Probably moved by your words. Haha!" Yun Pitian said.

Luoxue looked at the seaside that had returned to calm, the sea water was glowing blue under the blue sky and white clouds, very beautiful, and he said: "Let's go inside and discuss how to solve the survival plan of the merman clan after losing the Cangming Pearl." ”

At this time, inside the large snail shell.

"Father, how can you be so gullible to outsiders? Moreover, even if they are not bad people, with our current ability, if we lose the pearl, it will be tantamount to suicide!" Lan Yang, the patriarch of the merman, was very emotional at this time.

"Lan Yang, your emotions have become uncalm because of the blue sky being taken away, you go and calm down first, and then come to me. The old patriarch's voice was flat, and he couldn't hear the fluctuations of feelings.

Lan Yang was even more unwilling to see his father so indifferent: "Father, Lan Tian is also your grandson, how can you stay calm!"

"If you are not as calm as you, will you be able to save Tian'er? As the new patriarch, your performance will inevitably disappoint me too much!" The serious words were undoubted, and the old patriarch's words completely calmed Lan Yang.

"Father. Lan Yang lowered his head with an ugly face, and his tone was distressed and helpless.

"The merman clan has lived in the ocean for generations, and the most advantageous place is also the ocean, do you want to pour the strength of the whole clan to the land to find Tian'er, or do you want to give up?" the old patriarch's words made Lan Yang's body tremble.

"For so many years, we have been hiding in Tibet under the protection of the vicissitudes of life, and it can be said that we are in embarrassment, but even so, there are some wars, we are still inevitable, and the dead people will never come back. But don't you think the arrival of these four humans this time is an opportunity for us to soar again in the ocean, to have a place in the ocean, to create better conditions for future generations. Since we all have to choose no matter what, why don't we choose a good direction?" the old patriarch's words were serious.

"Father, I'm afraid that if we make the wrong choice, we will face extermination. Lan Yang couldn't feel at ease when he thought of this possibility.

"If, under the leadership of the heirs of the four great artifacts, we are still headed for destruction, what else is there to say? Are you willing to follow the evil demon emperor who has invaded from another world?" the old patriarch asked.

Lan Yang stood in place and struggled with his thoughts, and finally said, "I don't want to." ”

"Don't forget the tenacious fighting spirit of our merman clan because we are used to ordinary days, as long as we stand on the side of the light, we will definitely usher in the blue sky. The old patriarch held on to his crutches and slowly walked into the depths of the big snail shell.

Lan Yang looked at his father's departing back, and felt that his back was more rickety than usual.

The four of them wanted to nest in the room to discuss, but after entering, they found that they still overestimated the capacity of the room, and finally the four of them decided to go for a walk on the beach.

The sunset on the sea at this time was like a salted egg yolk, and the orange light shining out made Jian Tan couldn't help but think of the sunset that he and Yan Ranxi saw on the coastal road at that time, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Ying Xiaoling saw the smile on the corner of Jian Tan's mouth, and she also estimated her inner thoughts in her heart.

At this time, Yun Pitian couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought of it, is there any way to take away the Cangming Pearl, and also protect the Shark Clan." ”

"Actually, if they want, they can come to the land temporarily and find a place on the land for them to live in, and our Taishi can still do it. It really doesn't work, we can go and pump seawater. Ying Xiaoling's method was a good idea, but Jian Tan shook his head when he heard it.

"The Shark Race has a strange appearance, if they appear on land, it will definitely cause panic, even if we can put them away, but at the same time, they will lose their freedom, and the whole race will survive in the dark, how can the Shark Race who grew up in the vast sea endure it?" Jian Tan said.

Chen Xu also nodded, "Jian Tan has a point, the merman clan can't leave the sea. ”

"Perhaps," Luoxue said suddenly, "I can temporarily draw an enchantment for them in the sea, so that they can settle in a fixed place, as long as I come to strengthen the enchantment every once in a while, and that's fine." ”

"I'm wondering if there's a way to solve it even if we don't do it. Jian Tan said calmly.

"Jian Tan, you want to worry too much. Yun Pitian said.

"Bitian, the delay is not to save worry, I think she is afraid that sometimes, she will not be able to help if she wants to. Ying Xiaoling said what Jian Tan was thinking.

"It's my aunt who understands me best. Jian Tan chuckled.

"Did you think of any other way?" Ying Xiaoling asked as she looked at Jian Tan's leisurely appearance.

"I'm thinking that we might make a deal with the mermaids to switch between fixed islands. Before Jian Tan finished speaking, Luo Xue said, "But this method is no different from the method I originally proposed." ”

"There is a difference, we can entrust the Shark Clan to the Xuanyuan Family, on the one hand, the Xuanyuan Family has many disciples, and it is also a good experience to take turns to practice penance on the island, on the other hand, this is also one of their territories, if the Shark Clan comes forward to plead, they can't refuse. Jian Tan said.

"That's right! In this way, we can save worry and effort, not only to get the Cangming Pearl, but also to let the Xuanyuan family protect the mermaid clan. Ying Xiaoling also agreed with Jian Tan's proposal.

"However, can those disciples of the Xuanyuan clan really protect the Shark Clan?" Yun Pitian couldn't help but have some doubts.

At this time, Luo Xue spoke again: "As far as I know, the Sea Clan generally does not dare to take the initiative to attack humans, for fear of causing big trouble. ”

Jian Tan continued: "Moreover, the Xuanyuan family should have special communication tools, if you have the intention to protect it, it must not be a problem." ”

"If that's the case, do you want me to communicate with the Xuanyuan family next?" Ying Xiaoling looked at Jian Tan, Jian Tan looked at Ying Xiaoling, and said with a smile: "I still want to trouble you Xiaoling." ”

"Okay, for the sake of the merman princess, I'll help you. Ying Xiaoling said.

Who knew that as soon as the words fell, Ying Xiaoling found that the eyes of Jian Tan and the others were focused on her back, and the corners of their mouths seemed to be smiling.

Ying Xiaoling turned around and saw the merman princess looking at her not far away, and just wanted to say hello, but found that the merman princess's face and skin color deepened again, and her tone was a little swallowed: "You just said that it was for my face?"

Ying Xiaolingle smiled, "That's right, even if I don't give Jian Tan's face, I'll give you face, who makes you look so good." Ying Xiaoling's original intention in saying this was that if you want to convince the mermaid clan, of course, you must say more good things.

But after hearing this, the merman princess stretched out her hand to cover half of her face, and said, "I, I just came to inform you that our old patriarch asked us to prepare a roasted feast for you as dinner, and you remember to come." Then the mermaid princess ran away again.

"Haha," Yun Pitian suddenly laughed, "Why did I find out that this merman princess will run away every time she sees Xiao Ling, just like a girl with a spring."

"What do you say?" Ying Xiaoling glanced at Yun Pitian.

After hearing this, Jian Tan also walked up to Ying Xiaoling's side and looked left and right, "Fair-skinned, bold personality, handsome appearance, and sweet and pleasant to speak, she is simply the dream lover of girls." ”

"Jian Tan, are you looking for death?" Ying Xiaoling patted her on the shoulder fiercely.

Luo Xue also smiled, "Xiao Ling, I can also see that the princess of the merman clan may really have a ...... for you Then a little misunderstanding, she shouldn't have seen your true identity. ”

"Huh?" Even Ying Xiaoling herself was taken aback, "It's the first time I've dressed up as a man, so I accidentally flirted with a girl?"

"Sister Xiaoling, you just praised people for their beauty, or Xiaoling, you will accept the princess, maybe as long as we leave you, the pearl will be in our hands." "Yun Pitian is joking.

"I'll take it, I'll take you a big-headed ghost, I'll take Jieying when I go back, and let you be a bachelor for the rest of your life. ”

"Hahaha!"

Talking and laughing, Jian Tan and the four of them walked back to the camp of the merman clan, and a smell of burnt wood came, which should be the roasted fresh that the merman princess said just now. When I got closer, I saw some sturdy young mermaids, very quickly scurrying the sea fish into a large fish bone, and then placing the fish on the fire that had risen, and on the fire next to it was roasting a large scallop, and the hot juice was slowly flowing out of the cracks in the shells.
