Blue Mercury, beneath the pitch-black sea at high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere.

10,000 meters deep under the sea.

A patrol of mermaids, dressed in upper armor and armed with pitch-black steel spears, patrols the edge of the Great Rift Valley.

Suddenly, the mermaid captain, who was swimming at the front, stopped.

She turned her head to look at the area above her head, and a vague wave of soul was coming from there.

Captain Mermaid noticed that the area was very strange, and didn't think much of it, and released a psychic skill into the area: Soul Scream.

Wow!

The waters above immediately stirred, oscillating in waves.

A sea monster with eight thick tentacles suddenly appeared, and after the soul was shocked, it simply rushed out of the shadows, opened its huge mouth full of teeth, and rushed towards these mermaid warriors with hunger like it.

"The enemy is coming, meet the enemy!"

The mermaid captain was in danger, and after reminding the patrol members, he released another skill on the octopus: soul splitting!

The effect of the attack directly acting on the soul is very significant, and the eight-clawed sea monster suddenly stagnates and slows down.

"Kill!"

The two skills were released, and the spirit of the mermaid captain suddenly weakened a lot, but she still clenched the steel spear in her hand and led the patrol to rush forward.

It was a very surprising scene.

The mermaid is a very weak undersea race, which used to eat plankton on the bottom of the sea for a living, and for those powerful marine fish and sea monsters, they all ran when they saw it...... Because mermaids are their food.

Today, I don't know what's going on, a huge deep-sea octopus sea monster appeared, and these mermaids not only did not run, but instead held sharp steel spears and rushed towards the octopus......

If there were other sea monsters around who were a little impressed by the taste of mermaids, they would definitely be shocked to see this...... This、These mermaids。 Isn't it supposed to be eaten? And so on the other hand, it's time to kill them.

There must be eccentricity, there must be eccentricity!

…… Of course, sea monsters that survive by eating and hunting instincts generally do not have such complex mental activities, and they will only rush out and eat these mermaids.

But unfortunately, this octopus, which is still a little intelligent and familiar with ambush attack methods, hit the iron plate this time. Before he could rush over, his soul was violently impacted.

Then another soul slit sent it into a state of schizophrenia, and the intense pain caused it to keep shaking its tentacles and falling into a state of madness.

The mermaids rushed over quickly, armed with sharp steel spears, and stabbed and stabbed at the octopus.

Captain Mermaid is nimble, dodging the attack of eight tentacles and swimming to the head of the sea monster. Raise the steel spear in his hand high and thrust it into the giant eye of the sea monster!

Whew!

It's a cry of pain from the soul!

The eight-clawed sea monster's eight tentacles shook even more violently, even knocking out some mermaid warriors who were too close.

Struggling to no avail!

Under the attack of more than a hundred mermaid warriors, in the end, at the cost of more than twenty minor injuries. This eight-clawed sea monster was stabbed through countless holes by a steel spear, and his blood ran out and died.

"Captain Jiajia, there's a lot of meat."

After the death of the sea monster. A mermaid warrior said excitedly.

"yes, yes, the flesh of this sea monster. That's enough for our people to eat for many days! Another soldier with a slight injury said.

"Captain Jiajia, let's move this sea monster away."

"It's just that the food cellar in the clan seems to be full of food, and there is no place to put extra food."

Captain Mermaid shook the fish's tail elegantly, looked at the corpse of the octopus, and said, "Let's put this sea monster here, it's too big, we can't move it at all." ”

"Besides, our mission is not to find food, but to keep Alloa safe......"

"However, we have also paid a lot of casualties to kill it, so let's cut off one of its tentacles and bring it to the clan, and Her Majesty will definitely praise us for our bravery."

"Okay!"

The other mermaids excitedly agreed, took out sharp daggers from their waists, and it took a while to cut off the sea monster tentacles with a thickest diameter of three meters, and seventy or eighty mermaids inserted them with steel spears to bring this huge tentacle home.

……

An undersea rift, within a cliff space.

Because this space is close to the bottom of the sea of magma rivers, warm.

Because this seabed is inhabited by many glowing plankton, light.

Inside the space, a huge and beautiful mermaid city has been established.

There are more than 100,000 oval-shaped small stone houses, more than 5,000 large stone houses, and 10 colorful palaces built with crystal gemstones.

The most dazzling thing is the tall stone statue in the center of the city...... A statue of the protector god of the mermaid country.

Wearing a jeweled heart necklace on her forehead, a crown on her head, and a scepter with a sapphire handle in her hand, Sophia, the queen of the Alloa Mermaid Kingdom, is praying to the idol.

"Merciful God, three years ago, you gave Aloa a new land of warmth, slain the sea beasts feared by the people of Aloa, gave us weapons, and gave us powers like never before......"

"Sophia is grateful to you, misses you, reveres you, loves you, believes in your ......"

"We are willing to offer our one qiē ......"

After praying for a while, Sophia's face smiled happily...... Exceptionally fascinating.

In fact, although the mermaid has the word "beauty", it is not beautiful.

They are covered in fine scales, have rough faces, wide mouths, and sharp teeth...... The appearance of opening the bloody mouth is enough to make a horror movie.

If you don't look at the faces, their figures are indeed very good, with slender curves, long fish tails, and swimming, which can be described as "elegant".

Although it is impossible to describe in words what it is like for a mermaid to "laugh", Sophia is indeed very happy.

This qiē is all about God's salvation.

Three years ago, Alloa was a precarious land of mermaids, who were just a meal on the side of a sea monster, in danger of the extinction of the entire clan.

But now.

Under the blows of patrols and hunting teams equipped with armor and steel spears, the surrounding sea monsters almost disappeared completely.

Since that time when God helped Alloya, the people have not had any food problems...... On the contrary, there is too much food in the food cellar to eat, and the food that is stored earlier. There was a case of decay and deterioration......

All of this is brought by God.

This seems a little incredible, compared to those deep-sea monsters, the petite mermaids, no matter how you look at it, they are all reduced to food, how are they "clean" by the mermaids, and there is a lot of food "can't be eaten".

How can it be?

Because mermaids have intelligence.

The formation of intelligent life requires conditions...... Wisdom can only be formed through millions of years of natural selection, the complex living environment, the learning and use of tools, food, and then millions of years of natural selection.

But 10,000 meters below the seabed. A simple biological environment, where big fish eat small fish, how can wisdom appear?

This is an unsolved mystery.

Regardless, mermaids are indeed an intelligent race, with a mental intelligence similar to that of humans.

The point is, mermaids also have a talent, a very special talent.

Communicate.

A kind of communication between them.

It is communicated through electromagnetic waves, and can be one-to-one or one-to-many. Even if multiple people are communicating together at the same time, they can understand what other people are saying...... The ability to process information is very strong.

The other is to communicate with the soul.

The soul is also a special electromagnetic wave because there is no fixed carrier. Therefore, the existence of the soul is generally weak...... Every time they send out some signals, they weaken themselves.

But souls especially like to be around mermaids, because mermaids can emit a special kind of radio waves that are close to the soul frequency...... This can replenish energy for some souls. Out of the instinct of survival, some ghosts wandering in the deep sea sensed the mermaid's existence. will involuntarily follow them, or attach themselves to them......

Sophia has a ghost jar in her hand that can bring ghosts from those people and put them in the ghost jar...... Ghosts survive by absorbing the soul energy emitted by mermaids, and if these ghosts are not taken away, over time, some mermaids will easily die due to the transition of soul energy...... This is also the reason why more and more ghosts have been stored in ghost jars for countless years.

The mermaids who have been dealing with the ghosts of the deep sea for a long time have also produced an effect over time, that is, the strength of their souls is much stronger than that of ordinary creatures...... And have some unique abilities.

These unique abilities, previously only possessed by a few mermaids in Aloa, are the manipulation of ghosts, or rather, the manipulation of souls...... A very small number of gifted mermaids have this ability to manipulate souls.

Sophia, for example, has millions of ghosts in the ghost jar, all of which can control her singing.

Now, not only Sophia, but also Aloa Mermaid Kingdom, there are many mermaids who have this ability to act on the soul.

The most rudimentary soul screams.

The more powerful soul is split.

Extremely lethal soul oscillation.

and the annihilation of the soul that can directly kill a sea monster in an instant.

There are four competencies in total.

It is precisely by virtue of these four abilities that the mermaid country has completely gained a firm foothold on the seabed and has become the well-deserved king of this undersea land.

Sophia has mastered all four abilities.

Among the more than one million people in Alloya, 12 of them have mastered three of them, 198 have mastered two of them, and more than 3,700 have mastered one of the four abilities according to the relationship of increasing power.

And before that, the mermaid didn't even master one of them...... Because the soul in the body of a creature is not easily affected by the fluctuations of the mermaid's soul.

God gave them the power to attack these souls.

Sophia muttered to herself, "God just told me that souls are not only simple attacks, but also have strong communication skills, if I can try to communicate with the sea monsters, soothe their souls, and make them gradually obey us and obey us...... This is the key to merfolk domination of the Endless Sea. ”

"Your Majesty, we're back, we've just killed a powerful sea monster!"

An excited voice came.

The patrol members who had just encountered the sea monster returned to the cliff space with a long tentacle on their shoulders.
