Because it was night, they couldn't really see the movement underwater, but they could only vaguely see a black shadow moving in their boat.

Yuqin suddenly quickened the movement of his fingers, and the melodious music became high-pitched and excited. At this time, the movement of the dark shadow under the water also becomes faster. Suddenly, a merman jumped out of the water.

The upper body of the mermaid is a woman with long hair and a shawl, and the lower body is a long fishtail. The scales on the fish's tail sparkle in the moonlight, and the beauty is breathtaking. She flipped in the direction of the moonlight, made a beautiful arc, and fell back into the sea.

All three were stunned by the scene in front of them. They were all meeting real mermaids for the first time, and these two words used to appear in other people's stories. Although they didn't see the specific appearance of the sharks, it didn't prevent them from enjoying the beauty of this scene.

The three of them looked at each other and followed the merman into the sea. In order to better adapt to the environment in the water, before entering, Yuqin gave each of them a water-repellent bead. Ximei's is a little different from Moli's, but Moli paid attention to the merman and didn't notice it. Because Ximei is also very afraid of water, her fear is not like Rumo. She just resisted from the bottom of her heart, she really didn't want to be a soup chicken, and her cultivation would be weakened after entering the water. Yu Qin naturally knew this, so along the way, Yu Qin secretly persuaded her not to go into the water, and when the time came, she would help to answer on the shore. But Ximei insisted on going into the water together. Yuqin couldn't help her, so he specially developed an upgraded version of the water-repellent bead for her. It can help her walk on the ground even underwater. It's just that the cost of this water-repellent bead is too high, and she rummaged through the spirit grass in her storage bag, and only refined this one, but fortunately, she can't use it in normal times.

The world under the sea is clear. There are a lot of mermaids inside, and all the female mermaids wear their hair draped over their shoulders and have some pearl shellfish ornaments on their hair. And all the male mermaids use a fish bone to coil their hair on the top of their heads. Because the lower body is a fishtail, they are only wearing the upper half of the clothes. The clothes are made of light Jiao silk yarn, which is woven by the mermaids themselves, and it is not wet when exposed to water.

Because the music stopped, the sharks slowly dispersed. The three of them secretly followed the merman, looking for an opportunity to ask them for a shark pearl. They didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear of alarming the mermaids and making them vigilant. Therefore, there is also plenty of time to follow them while enjoying the view of the seabed. In addition to the beautiful mermaids, there are also schools of fish, patches of red coral, and clumps of seaweed. The view from the shore is nothing better than that.

After a short time, they followed the mermaids to the door of an underwater palace. There is a plaque directly above the entrance of the palace, and the words "Crystal Palace" are written on the dragon, flying and phoenix.

They hid behind the rocks, looked around, and as if no one was guarding them, they went in. Who knew that as soon as they entered the door, two sharks with tridents came out from behind the door and placed the tridents horizontally in front of them.

"Stop, where did you come from to trespass on the Crystal Palace. ”

Ximei rolled her eyes, what the hell is this, the person guarding is not outside the door, but inside the door.

Mo Li shook his head at the two of them, asking them not to fight them first. After all, he felt that shark beads were not such a rare thing for sharks, and if he said it well, maybe they would be able to give it. But if there is a conflict, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

"We didn't mean to bother, we just wanted to ask for a shark pearl. ”

Who knows it's okay not to say it, after saying it, the two sharks who were guarding immediately glared angrily.

One of them said, "It's another one who came to beg for shark beads, and the queen said that there will be such a direct entry into the water prison without retribution!"

The other shook the trident in his hand and echoed, "Yes, go straight to the water prison." ”

The three of them were hesitating whether to resist, after all, they didn't know the situation in the water prison, and they were afraid that if they were really locked in, they would not be able to get out.

"What are you doing, what are you making a fuss?" At this time, a merman passed by, wearing a crown in the shape of red coral on his head, and the silk veil on his body also looked lighter and softer than the previous merman's clothes. Half of the hair was combed and half was scattered over the shoulders. Bright eyes and bright teeth, like a jade smile, and the beauty of male and female indisputable, shocked everyone's senses.

"Your Highness, they are here to ask for shark pearls!"

"Shark Zhu?" the smile on his lips faded away, and he frowned and looked at a few people. "You'd better leave! there's no shark bead to give you!"

"We are using shark beads to save people, and we hope that His Highness will help!" Yuqin looked at him with a pair of watery eyes.

His Royal Highness was a little flustered by Yu Qin's eyes, and he turned his head sideways with a red face, "It's okay to say anything else, but this matter is ...... Don't think about it. I don't think you are like the wicked, and if you will go away, I will let you go as if you had never come. ”

"If it weren't for a compelling reason, we wouldn't have come. If we need to exchange for something else, it's okay. "They finally found this place, and Moli didn't want to give up just like that.

"Okay, then let's leave the three of you alive!" said with unmistakable majesty in his voice. With the sound of words, a woman with a pearl crown on her head walked with a thousand demeanors. walked here but didn't look at the three of them, as if the three of them couldn't get into her eyes, and said to the person who was called His Highness before, "Qingyi, I said why haven't you come to dine with me yet, it turns out that you have been delayed here." ”

Her attitude and what she said angered Ximei, and Ximei snorted coldly, "Your request is too much, we just want you a shark pearl, but you want to leave the lives of the three of us." ”

Mo Li thought that this should be the queen mentioned by the two mermaid guards before. But why did she have such a rule? I think there must be some untold story.

"Is it delusional, you have to try to find out!" The queen sneered, "Come on, set up the formation!"

When the three of them heard the Queen's words, they cheered up and prepared to deal with it. It's just that what she didn't expect was that the array she was talking about was that many sharks fell from the sky with fishing nets, and they were caught off guard. It used to be them fishing, now it's them being fished.

Moli and Ximei summoned their swords and tried to cut through the fishing net to escape, but found that even the Ben Thunder Sword could not damage the soft-looking fishing net in the slightest.

"This is the joint refining and weaving of Jiao silk yarn and dragon scales, it will not burn when it encounters fire, it will not get wet when it encounters water, and it will not hurt it in the slightest with swords, guns, swords, and halberds. You better save some effort, lest you die too ugly!" the Queen's beautiful face was full of resentment towards them, no, resentment towards those who longed for shark pearls.

"Mother, they don't look like wicked people, just let them go, as if they never came!" Qingyi shook the queen's arm coquettishly.

The queen's attitude towards Qingyi is very kind, and she is a loving mother's tenderness to her children. "Qingyi, not all wicked people will have the word wicked written on their faces. Mother is now the only one with you. Mother can rely on you for other things, but you don't have to say anything about it. Let's go, come with me to dinner. At this point, his tone became majestic again, "Put a few of them in the water prison!"

Qingyi was dragged away by her mother, looking back at the three of them as she walked, with unbearable expression in her eyes.

After the queen and Qingyi left, the three of them were put in a water prison.

The dungeon looks like a cave, except that the cave is underwater. The entrance to the cave is a net made of vines layered on top of each other. They had tried to break the vines and leave after the merman had left. Who knew that as soon as a hole was opened, new vines would be replenished, endlessly, and finally they had to resign themselves to sitting in it to rest.

"You say, why does this queen hate people who want shark pearls so much? Just now, when she mentioned this, her eyes seemed to have been quenched with poison, hiss, and made people shudder. Yuqin folded his arms and leaned against the side.

"Maybe she has a deep hatred for the person who once wanted the shark pearl!" Ximei let out a sigh as she dragged the vines at the entrance of the cave.

"Maybe it's her children. Mo Li sat next to him with a thoughtful expression and said.

"Huh?" Ximei and Yuqin looked at him in unison, wondering why he had such a guess.

Mo Li looked at the two of them and said slowly, "Do you remember, she just said to His Highness Qingyi, 'Mother is the only one now', which means that she wasn't the only one before." ”

Yuqin recalled for a moment, "It seems to be said so. ”

Ximei nodded on the side, "That's exactly what I said!"

"So I'm afraid this matter won't be easy!" After speaking, Mo Li sighed, touched the spirit gathering bottle in his arms, and didn't know if he could make it up for more than a year. Thinking of this, the beating heart in his chest felt as if it had been pinched, and the pain was unbearable.

"So what are we going to do? The queen doesn't know how long she's going to lock us up. Yuqin paced back and forth inside.

"Wait!"

"Wait?" Ximei didn't believe that Mo Li's attitude towards this matter was only this one word.

"Yes! Now we have to wait. We've already tried to escape, but we can't escape. ”

"Are you going to wait until Her Royal Highness comes to settle accounts with us, and then fight to the death?" Yu Qin guessed.

"No, we are waiting for His Highness Qingyi. I guess he'll come to us in a few days at most. Mo Li looked at the outside of the water prison and said with great certainty.

Ximei and Yuqin heard this, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know why Moli is so sure, but seeing that Moli has closed his eyes and is recuperating, he doesn't ask anymore. Since he was so sure, they just had to wait, anyway, they couldn't do anything else but wait for the time being.

Two days later, Qingyi really came.

Qingyi stood outside the vines and looked at the three of them, "How are you doing here?"

"What do you think you can do here? Do you want to try it!" Ximei really felt that this Qingyi was probably here to find fault, they were all locked up here, what else could they do.

Mo Li shouted to stop her, "Ximei!"
