Chapter 293: Ancient Abyss Eleven
"When can it?" asked Qin Jue after a while.
Hearing this, several shark guards breathed a sigh of relief.
After frowning and pondering for a long time, the Holy Maiden replied: "There is no altar now, if you want to summon the shark pearl, you can only try it on the night of the full moon, but I can't guarantee that the shark pearl will definitely appear." The safest way is to lead my people to find a place to live and then build an altar so that I can be sure that I will sacrifice the shark beads. ”
"Full moon night,,," Qin Jue muttered in a low voice. Xiao Ning was frozen by Ye Ge's ghostly cold air. At present, he is in a state of suspended animation, with no breath at all, and he completely relies on the spirit array arranged by Xi to forcibly continue a trace of vitality. Originally, Xi was not particularly sure that he would use the shark bead to save Xiao Ning, and the longer the delay, the lower the chance of Xiao Ning's resurrection.
There were exactly two or three days left on the next full moon night, and Qin Jue would of course choose to try it on the full moon.
"Well, then it's a full moon night. I hope you don't let me down, and if you treat me with sincerity, I will do my best to protect your people, no matter what the outcome is. ”
As soon as Qin Jie's words fell, there was a noisy and panicked voice in front of him.
Several people hurried out of the cabin and looked up at the deck. I saw that the sea around several large ships full of mermaids seemed to be boiling. The waves splashed, and countless black figures appeared and disappeared from time to time.
The shadows were large and small, the largest ones were several meters long, and the smaller ones were about two meters. They rammed into the merman boats and slammed their tails into waves.
The waves rolled high and swooped down on the deck of the ship.
"It's sea sharks! They tend to swarm and tear apart living creatures when they see them, and it will be extremely troublesome for the fleet to be targeted by them. Saint Lili said in a panic.
Because at this time, there have already been mermaids being swept into the sea by the waves. With the screams, the sea was a blood-red cloud.
Ye Piaoling had already flown out, and the sword qi swung out and turned into sword blades that shot towards the sea.
Although a lot of sea shark beasts were killed, there were thousands of black figures, and there was no reduction at all.
The Virgin took a palm-sized conch horn from her thin waist and put it between her lips to make a whimpering sound.
The whimpering sound of the Conch spread far above the surface. The sea sharks quickly subsided, and the sea gradually returned to calm.
Through the calm sea, you can see a layer of black pressure below. Dense sea sharks surrounded all five merman ships.
After all the sea shark beasts had calmed down, the Saint Maiden stopped playing, her face still covered with a layer of melancholy. "The sound of my horn can only keep them calm for a while, but it can't drive them away. They're going to attack the ships after a while!"
"Inform all the ships to follow the battleship!" Qin Jue said decisively. Then he turned back into the cockpit and began to change course, heading towards a nearby island.
On the sea, if you encounter a herd of sea beasts, the most effective way is to find an island to dock.
Sea beasts generally do not have too high thinking skills, and their attacks are only for food. They also can't tell where a ship is going, and most of the sea beasts retreat on their own as soon as the ship docks.
In particular, this kind of fish and sea beast generally refuses to go even in shallow waters.
Since he couldn't get close to the Extreme East Islands, the islands selected by Qin Jue were a little far away. As the fleet sails, it also has to defend itself against attacks from sea sharks. And every once in a while, the Holy Maiden would blow the horn. Playing the horn was also a drain on her, and she could only hold off the attack of the sea shark at a critical moment.
After two or three days of arduous sailing, the fleet finally approached the island at nightfall.
Fortunately, the loss of the merman is not too big. Hundreds of sharks were swept into the sea and died in the mouths of sea sharks. This is still thanks to Qin Jue and Ye Piaoling to protect as much as possible. Responsible for only these mermaids, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive at this time.
The sea shark stayed in the deep water and refused to follow up, but it did not disperse immediately. All the sharks landed on the island for the time being, and continued their voyage when the sea sharks dispersed.
Qin Jue had already discussed with the Holy Maiden Yanli and was ready to take her and all the mermaids to the coast of the East China Sea. Although the mermaid is a sea creature, it is well known for its peace-loving habits. Coupled with the care of the Sword Pavilion, it is not difficult to find a place to survive there.
The Holy Maiden also knew that the entire Far East Sea was under the rule of the Sea Tribe. If she and her people want to continue to survive in peace, they have to stay away from this place.
The moon hangs high and the sea breeze blows.
In a clearing, the Virgin Grace knelt on the ground, her upper body straight. His hands were folded in front of his chest, his face was facing the sky, and his long sea-blue hair hung down his back to the ground.
Several old men of the Shark Tribe, gathered around her, chanting words in their mouths - it is the special ancient ritual language of the Shark Tribe.
Qin Jue and Ye Piaoling stood next to them and watched quietly not far away.
This is the ritual that the merman clan needs to carry out to sacrifice the merman pearl, although Qin Jue is anxious, but the merman clan's thinking is relatively conservative, and the ceremony is meticulous.
As the syllables of several old people raised, the beautiful face of the Holy Maiden rose towards the bright moon in the night sky. The white neck is extended, and the hands on the chest bear a flower mark. Ten fingers stretch out, like a blooming flower, and slowly lift upward. Her expression looked extremely religious, and every movement and detail on her body seemed to be sincere.
The voice of the desolate and mournful incantation became higher and higher, as if it was being chanted with life. Bizarre syllables echo in the night sky, making people's moods rise and fall with the rhythm.
The other mermaids all knelt on the ground at this time, and bowed to the bright moon in the night sky with their hands together.
The scene in front of him was much worse than the various large-scale show performances that Qin Jue had seen in the previous life. There are no dazzling and colorful lights, no heart-wrenching sound equipment, and no beautiful women twisting their waists and shaking their hips on the stage.
However, for some reason, he felt a shocking shock. Whether it is the bright moon in the night sky, or the moonlight sprinkled with cold sprinkled on the island, or the heartstrings of chanting and the holy woman full of holiness. All these factors make this simple ritual sacred.
Beside Qin Jue, Ye Piaoling also performed the same. The delicate face is illuminated by the moonlight, which is even more flawless, the expression is silent, and the heart is turbulent.
The voice of chanting continued to rise and rise, and Qin Jue had never seen anyone who could make such a high-pitched voice.
This is a special way of pronunciation that only sharks will know, at the cost of burning their lives.
Finally, an old man of the mermaid tribe could not support it anymore and fell to the ground.
From the crowd of sharks, an old man stood up, silently walked up, replaced the old man who had lost his life just now, knelt down and continued to chant.
After losing several old people in succession, the Holy Maiden Yanli suddenly radiated a ray of brilliance.
The thousands of rays of light came from within her, as if a sun had suddenly lit up in her body.
The focus of brilliance rises in the body of the Holy Maiden, like the sun rising at dawn.
Qin Jue only knew at this time that the shark beads of the merman clan were in the body of the saint.
The mermaid continued to rise, from under the waist of the saint, slowly to the abdomen, and then moved towards the chest. Look at the scene, and it will eventually come out of her mouth.
