Seeing that the light of hope was close at hand, the ecstatic Tsing Yi rushed over without thinking.

But in moments of excitement and ecstasy, ordinary people often unconsciously lower their vigilance, and this is the case with Tsing Yi at this time. In the process of escaping all the way, her heart had nothing to think of except that light.

It's just that she didn't expect that a passage to the unknown, where the light was, could be either the exit of this cave or the deep pool in the deepest part of the cave.

Unfortunately, Tsing Yi, who was destined to have bad things, jumped directly into the deep pool from mid-air without any accident.

The feeling of drowning for the second time was still so painful, Tsing Yi struggled in the pool, and the cold pool water made her almost breathless.

The sound of intense splashing resounded throughout the deep pool.

Just when Tsing Yi felt that her lungs were about to explode, and her hands and feet began to become a little weak, a pair of hands suddenly appeared out of thin air, grabbed her arm and slowly pulled her up.

As soon as she came into contact with the air, Tsing Yi suddenly coughed violently, and the person who saved her held her waist with both hands, and reached out to gently push her shoulder, and said in a gentle voice: "There is a rock in front, you can climb up quickly!" ”

Tsing Yi, who was still coughing, raised her eyes and looked forward when she heard this, and sure enough, she saw a huge rock emerging from the water, so she quickly reached out and grabbed the rugged rock surface, gritted her teeth and kicked her feet, and it really took a lot of effort to climb up.

The soaked clothes were sticky to his body, and Tsing Yi sat down on the big rock to catch his breath for a while, and finally came back to his senses.

She first thought of the dagger she was holding in her hand, and quickly looked down at her hand.

The deadwood ebony box had been removed as she fled in panic, but out of fear, she never let go of the dagger, and now she saw that her hand was empty, and there was nothing.

I'm afraid that if I accidentally let go of my hand when struggling just now, I must have sunk to the bottom of the pool by this time.

Without a self-defense dagger, Tsing Yi suddenly panicked.

"Is this your thing?"

A white hand suddenly handed a dagger to Tsing Yi, and the voice that had saved her said softly, "There's your smell on it, it smells so good!" ”

Tsing Yi was suddenly overjoyed, grabbed the dagger in his hand, and at the same time turned his head gratefully to thank the man: "Thank you—"

Xie Zi was suddenly stuck in his throat, and Tsing Yi's eyes widened for a moment, and he looked ahead in shock and couldn't speak.

I saw a pure white mermaid climbing the rock wall with one hand and wagging her tail floating in the pool, she had extremely long white hair, which was now wet and scattered on her shoulders and chest, and the back half of her hair that meandered into the water was like a water weed, floating softly with the waves of the water and her swaying white fishtail.

She also has extremely thick eyelashes, which reflect the * white clear pupils, making her beautiful face look exceptionally innocent.

It's just that this is not the reason for Tsing Yi's shock, what she was shocked about was that this mermaid looked exactly like the mermaid who was trampled under the feet of dead wood just now!

The frightened Tsing Yi froze there for a moment.

"No thanks." The mermaid happily lay on the rock wall and smiled at Tsing Yi, "Na, my name is Baiyu, what's your name?" You smell so good! ”

Tsing Yi couldn't help clenching his fists, quietly hiding his hand that had been rubbed by the rock behind him, and replied with a wooden face before he half sounded: "My name is Tsing Yi." ”

"Tsing Yi, Tsing Yi, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? As if he didn't notice Tsing Yi's vigilance and fear, the mermaid still looked at Tsing Yi happily and said, "Then after eating, you can play with us, okay?" ”

We?

Tsing Yi, who became extremely sensitive because of fear, immediately noticed the words of the mermaid in front of her, and then before she could react, several white figures suddenly floated up from the water, and echoed in unison: "Yes, yes, let's have fun together!" Let's play! ”

They all had exactly the same faces, and they looked at Tsing Yi happily and shouted, "Come and join us!" We can go underwater and fish for beautiful rocks together! ”

Saying that, one of the mermaids proudly exposed the stone in his hand to Tsing Yi.

"Aren't you hungry? Do you want to eat meat? The mermaid who claimed to be a white fish climbing on the rock wall looked up at Tsing Yi's eyes expectantly and said, "Our meat is delicious, do you want to have a piece of it?" ”

Hearing this, Tsing Yi only felt that the hair on his whole body exploded, this mermaid's words were too terrifying, inviting others to eat his own meat or something, it was really too scary! So she clenched the dagger in her hand, and subconsciously moved it back, and finally refused in a deep voice: "No, I don't want to eat!" ”

"Huh? Why don't you want to eat it? The nearest mermaid suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Our meat is really delicious, and after eating our meat, you can play in the water as much as we do, don't you really want to eat it?" ”

"Yes, let's eat a piece! Let's eat a piece! Come and play with us! The other mermaids shouted from the side, "It's fun in the water, there are a lot of pearl oysters at the bottom of this pool!" There are beautiful glowing pearls inside, come and dig for pearls with us! ”

Tsing Yi pursed his mouth unmoved, holding the dagger in his hand without saying a word.

She said in her heart, what Master Deadwood said was really right, mermaids would really lure mortals into eating mermaid meat.

Seeing that Tsing Yi had not spoken, those mermaids glanced at each other, and then as if they had said yes, they flicked their tails and dived into the pool. After a while, they surfaced one by one, swam to the edge of the rock where Tsing Yi was, and happily raised the big mussel in their hands and said to Tsing Yi: "Look, this is the pearl mussel." ”

As he spoke, they each opened their mouths to bite the corner of the pearl mussel they were holding in their hands, and then bit hard, only to hear the clicking sound one after another. Then they let go of their teeth, and inserted their slender fingers into the broken part of the mussel shell, and finally only needed to break it slightly, and the originally closed mussel shell was immediately lightly broken, and the soft shell meat that was originally hidden in the mussel shell was suddenly revealed.

After Tsing Yi saw those mermaids open the mussel shells, they all reached out excitedly and touched the shellfish, and then soon found one or two large lilac pearls.

"This one for you!" The mermaids who had touched the pearls piled up their pearls on the rocks in front of Tsing Yi, and those identical faces carried the same expectation, and they looked at Tsing Yi without blinking and shouted, "Play with us, in this way, you can catch a lot of these pearls!" ”

But Tsing Yi, who already knew the effects of mermaid meat, didn't dare to try it at all, even if there was a bunch of big pearls in front of her, her heart was not shaken, and she still insisted on refusing: "No-I don't want to eat it." ”

The rejected merfolk suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and they listlessly sank most of their □□ into the pool, leaving only a small half of their faces to continue to float on the water.

Countless heads floated half-sunk on the water, and it looked really extraordinary.

Seeing this situation, Tsing Yi couldn't help but shudder for a moment.

The mermaid who saved Tsing Yi at the beginning saw that Tsing Yi's body was trembling while sitting there, so she asked with some concern, "Do you feel cold?" ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Tsing Yi to answer, she tilted her head and thought about it, and then held on to the rock wall and flicked her tail vigorously.

I only heard a muffled crackling sound, and the mermaid who was still in the water jumped on the rock at once, she twisted her tail hard to get close to Tsing Yi, and reached out to pile her long white hair that was longer than the length of her tail on Tsing Yi, and whispered while piling it up: "My hair is covered by you, so that it will not be cold!" ”

Is this stupid mermaid really the kind of evil creature in the mouth of the Deadwood Master? Or is she just pretending now?

Tsing Yi, who couldn't confirm which one was the truth, couldn't calmly accept Bai Yu's long white hair, so she raised her hand to block it slightly, and at the same time, her body moved, and she stood up with a grunt, quickly avoiding Bai Yu's hair.

"I have no ill intentions." Bai Yu finally noticed that Tsing Yi didn't like his approach very much, and immediately explained with a sad expression, "If you don't want to stay with us, we can send you home." So don't be afraid of us ......."

"Really?" Tsing Yi suddenly asked in disbelief, "Are you willing to send me back to the Santuchuan Inn?" ”

"Yes." Bai Yu nodded affirmatively, but when she looked up and saw that in the passage that Tsing Yi came from, the height of the water level was not even half the height of her tail, and it seemed that she couldn't swim them over at all, so she frowned and added, "But we have to wait for the water level here to rise, the water level of the waterhole has suddenly become low recently, and we can't swim out!" ”

"When will the water rise?" Tsing Yi asked eagerly, "Tonight?" ”

The merfolk looked at each other again, then shook their heads in unison.

Does this mean that the water level will not rise tonight? Still don't know when the water level will rise?

Either way, Tsing Yi wouldn't be happy, which meant that she would continue to spend at least one night with the identical mermaids! How does this work? Who knows if they're going crazy at night!

Tsing Yi, who fell into a terrible association, didn't have the courage to bet on whether the mermaids would go crazy at night, and instead of staying with such a group of mermaids who didn't know the roots, it was better to stay with the deadwood master who clearly wanted to use him! At least for a short time.

Thinking of this, Tsing Yi couldn't help but begin to regret it, how could he run away so impulsively before? Isn't this the same as saying directly to Master Deadwood, "Ah, I doubt you, I know you're going to be bad for me"? It's just stupid!

So, where exactly is Master Gao? It can't be that they weren't brought by the white fish at all, right?

The troubled Tsing Yi thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of a way.

"Then you can send me back there!" Tsing Yi pointed to the passage where he came and said, "Then I will find my way back."
