Walking five hundred miles south from the Coral Palace is the Wuyan Sea, Zi Chu recalled that when he was a child, he and his playmates found this remote trail, although the road was covered with weeds and stubborn rocks, but from all kinds of traces, it was seen that someone had walked here many years ago.

When he happily told his father about this, his father's face changed and he reprimanded him not to go that way. Later, he heard from the elders that the road was no return, because a fierce beast had occupied the sea, and when the ancestors wanted to go there to expand their territory, they never returned.

The first part of the road was overgrown with aquatic plants that made Zichu lose his direction for a while, he was a little flustered, thinking that Qingyu was still waiting for him to take Yilan back, he pulled out the dagger on his waist and cut off all the aquatic plants blocking the sight in front of him, and finally found the right direction with his vague childhood memory.

Seeing that there was a mark carved with a knife on the boulder in front of him, that was what his son went up at all times, but he didn't expect that after all these years, it was still there clearly, guiding him forward, he would definitely return safely with Yilan, Zichu walked forward firmly.

Halfway through, Zi Chu stopped, the scenery in front of him was a little weird, the treatment of the rare human track should be overgrown with aquatic plants, just like the section of the road when he came, but not to mention the grass ahead, even the small fish and shrimp have not been seen, a lifeless scene.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly a small pebble rolled from behind, stopped at his feet, something behind him, Zi Chu remained silent, his right hand slowly held the dagger on his waist, turned around quickly, the aquatic plants swayed, he held his breath and walked over, pushed aside the lush aquatic plants and found nothing, suddenly the afterglow swept away, a piece of white clothing was revealed behind a coral stone, and a turning dagger was already across the man's neck.

"Bao, why are you?" Zi Chu was shocked, the girl whose eyes were round and frightened by him was Ah Bao, her face was scraped with a few blood marks from the sharp edges of the water plants, and her white clothes were also dirty with moss when she climbed over the rocks.

"It's been discovered." Ah Bao was a little discouraged, if Fang Cai hadn't noticed the stone under his feet, he wouldn't have been discovered by Zi Chu.

"You've been following me?" Zi Chu touched the blood marks on her face with his fingers in distress, and frowned when he saw her in pain.

"I want to save Qingyu with you, it's me who became like this." Ah Bao said guiltily that the doctor said that day that Wuyanhai was dangerous and abnormal, maybe she could help Zichu.

"It's not you who poisoned Qingyu, you go back quickly and wait for me to come back in the Coral Palace." Zichu persuaded.

"I'm not going back, I'm not afraid of anything, don't worry about me." Whatever he said, Po refused to leave.

The two were at a stalemate, and seeing that they couldn't convince her, Zichu had to promise to let her follow him, and he would definitely not let her get hurt. The road in the second half of the road became narrower and narrower, and it was difficult to find the right direction if it was not carefully identified, and after walking for a long time, a huge stone tablet engraved with the three words Wuyanhai appeared in front of them, and they finally arrived.

Before stepping into the Yanwu Sea, Zi Chu turned around and looked at Ah Bao cautiously, "If you find Yilan first, take it away quickly, don't look back, and don't wait for me, you know?" ”

“

I'm not going to walk alone, I'm going to walk together. Po looked at him stubbornly.

This kind of look made Zi Chu stunned, and when she first saw her many years ago, she also looked at him with this kind of look, and it was also from then on that he put this girl who looked weak on the outside but was tough in his heart, and a warm current poured into his heart, and he took her hand, believing that they would be able to return safely.

Compared to the surrounding waters, the waters of the sea are much purer, perhaps because they are inaccessible, and there are huge corals and lush green seaweeds everywhere, and it is even more surprising that there are many schools of fish of different shapes and types here.

Some of them are round like balls, some are sharp like cones, some are as big as paper umbrellas, some are as thin as silver needles, some are shaped like pagodas, some are like Hong Zhong, even Zi Chu, who has been living in the sea, has never seen these strange fish, at first he was worried that they would be hostile to outsiders, but after a long time he found that they did not attack them, while they had not yet encountered the legendary beast, they had to find Yilan quickly.

I still remember that the doctor pointed out to her the picture of Yilan drawn in the book, which is the kind of thick rhizome, thick leaves, and yellow petals.

Ah Bao continued to walk forward, in the dim light, there was a bright spot in front of her, she involuntarily walked there, it was Yilan, she almost screamed, in that low-lying area was full of yellow petals of Yilan grass, just as she was about to run there, her arm was suddenly grabbed, Zi Chu's eyes looked straight at the right side of the low-lying place.

Ah Bao followed Zi Chu's gaze and looked at the place, gasping, what kind of monster was that, just now she saw the Yilan grass was too excited, but she didn't notice that there was a white behemoth lying quietly near the Yilan grass, from this angle you can only see its smooth back, it is lying there motionless, as if resting.

"I'll pick a few branches, and then we'll get out of here." Ah Bao leaned into Zi Chu's ear and whispered, Zi Chu was a little hesitant, but this was the best time to do so, and he nodded at her with difficulty.

Seeing that Ah Bao was getting closer and closer to the low-lying land, Zi Chu's heart was worried, and his whole body tensed, while watching if the monster was moving, and at the same time looking to see if she had picked Yilan.

It's almost there, the piece of orchid is within reach, Ah Bao heard his drum-like heartbeat, just one step away from the target, suddenly a turbulent undercurrent surged, and the strong thrust made her lose her center of gravity in an instant, and was swept away by the current.

Zi Chu was startled, jumped up, and rushed towards her at the speed of an arrow, he quickly swung his tail, with the advantage of the merman's body, Zi Chu gradually narrowed the distance between him and her, Ah Bao tried to stretch out his hand in his direction, Zi Chu rushed forward with all his strength, and finally the hands of the two were tightly pulled together after missing again and again.

Zi Chu saw the opportunity, and when he passed a coral stone, he firmly grasped it with his other hand and waited until it was dark

As the stream slowly disappeared, the two finally landed safely.

"Are there any injuries?" Zichu looked at Ah Bao nervously.

Ah Bao shook his head, and took out a handful of things from the placket on his chest, it was actually Yilan grass, Zi Chu was surprised, could it be that when the danger hit, she still thought about Yilan grass regardless of her own safety, Zi Chu's heart swelled with all kinds of feelings, he hugged Ah Bao tightly, but now they are still in danger, to get out of here quickly, he took her hand and was about to leave, but the scene in front of them made them dumbfounded.

The strong undercurrent actually swept the fish over, perhaps catching the smell of food, the worm woke up from its sleep, it opened its eyes as big as copper bells, revealing its half-dragon, half-snake head, stretched its body, because of the changes in its living environment, its limbs slowly shrank, and its tail became stronger and stronger as the only tool for body movement.

The fish swept by the undercurrent seemed to smell the danger and fled one after another, but they could not escape the fate of being eaten as a meal by the grasshopper. With the swing of the giant tail from side to side, the huge body of the worm gradually floated, and it opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and although it swam forward unhurriedly, it was like a mountain blocking the big fish that escaped the fastest, swallowing it whole.

Faced with the strongest predator in the sea, the fish behind it was frightened and quickly swam back, but the worm would never allow the prey to escape from its eyes, and it sucked all the fish around it into the big black mouth in one go, and the whole predation process happened in an instant.

Ah Bao's feet seemed to be rooted, and Zi Chu was also shocked by Chi's predation process, he knew that for beasts, once the predation began, they would not stop until they were full, no matter what, they should leave here quickly before it found them, he took Ah Bao's hand, and under the cover of coral stones and aquatic plants, the two walked slowly.

Walking a little further is the exit of the Yanwu Sea, Zi Chu took a deep breath and tightened Ah Bao's hand, as long as he walked along this seaweed, Chi would not find them.

At this moment, the hand holding Ah Bao suddenly tightened, Zi Chu looked back, Mo Fei looked at her feet in horror, three soft tentacles were wrapped around her feet, and kept circling towards her upper body, it was a strange fish species with dozens of tentacles all over its body, its body was huge, the upper body was round and bulging, covered with reddish-brown spots, and the lower body was these ugly tentacles.

Zi Chu quickly pulled out the dagger on his waist and cut off the tentacles that were entangled in Ah Bao's body, but at the moment when he swung the dagger, those sensitive tentacles continued to stretch out to his wrists, waist and tail, Zi Chu was firmly trapped at once, unable to move any part of his body, seeing that the fish puffed up and approached them, opening its big mouth to devour them.

Zi Chu looked at Ah Bao, who was closest to it, and shouted no, he used his best strength to get rid of those tentacles, but the more he struggled, the tighter those tentacles were entangled, and an unprecedented fear enveloped him.

It happened in an instant, the strange fish was bitten on the whole head by the sudden appearance of the worm, and it struggled desperately

Shi let go of the tentacles that were entangled in Zi Chu and Ah Bao, but all this had no effect in front of Chi, Zi Chu and Mo Fei saw that the fish and its tentacles were devoured by Chi little by little, and finally disappeared into that big black mouth.

Seeing Chi looking at them with the eyes of his prey, Zi Chu understood that it was hopeless for the two of them to leave the Wuyan Sea alive together, and now he could only pray that the ancestors had spirits underground, and blessed him to successfully distract Chi's attention and let Ah Bao return to the Coral Palace safely.

"Wait a minute, I'll shout one, two, three, and when you hear three, you run backwards, don't turn back, we'll get out of here alive." Zichu looked at Ah Bao affectionately.

Po was nervously speechless, just nodded at him.

"One-two...... Three! When Zichu signaled to Ah Bao to escape, Ah Bao turned her head and ran backwards, she didn't dare to look back, her eyes kept staring at the stone tablet with the sea of no face written not far in front of her, as long as they got there, they would be safe.

She didn't know that when Zichu shouted "three", he smashed a stone hidden in his hand into Chi's brain, and he wanted to provoke Chi to swim in the opposite direction, so as to ensure that Ah Bao left here safely.

Chi was angered by him, yelled, and quickly chased after him, Zi Chu swam forward with all his strength, he knew that maybe he would become the belly of Chi in the next second, but as long as he held on for a second longer, he could buy Ah Bao a little more time to leave here.

In front of him was actually a dead corner closed by coral stones, and before he could turn around, a huge force behind him slapped him the coral stone, he hit the stone hard, half of his body suddenly lost consciousness, and something gushed up in his chest, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

Zi Chu raised his head in pain, Chi looked at him condescendingly, it flicked its tail and threw Zi Chu high from the stone, and fell heavily on the boulder again, it seems that Chi intended to torture him, after falling down again, Zi Chu no longer had the strength to stand up, now Ah Bao should be safe, his eyes closed and opened again, Chi's huge figure became blurred little by little, and when Chi opened his big mouth to him, a petite figure appeared not far away......
