Qi Zhiming and his entourage returned to Mermaid Island, and found from a distance that Gou Hong and a group of mermaids were already standing on the shore to greet each other.

It turned out that before they even approached the island, they had already been discovered by merfolk.

The merfolk have their own set of vigilance mechanisms, so the three of them are welcomed with great pomp.

Of course, Qi Zhiming is not so sentimental that he thinks he is welcoming himself, except for Gou Hong.

The group was divided into two teams, one group surrounded the princess and the clansman, and the other group was Gou Hong himself.

"Brother Ming, I'll take the clansmen back to report to the elders first, and I'll go to play with you later. Don't worry, there are some things I won't say. The princess said.

The joy of going home after a long absence was full of joy in her eyes, and she also carried the reluctance to part with Qi Zhiming.

Gou Hong hugged Qi Zhiming tightly and kept patting his back. It feels painful, but my heart is warm, and it feels so good to be cared for and remembered!

"Brother Ming, why have you been out for so long this time? Bring one back, did anything happen? Gou Hong let go of Qi Zhiming and immediately couldn't wait to ask.

"Go back to your room, how are you on the island? Nothing happened, did it? Qi Zhiming is also concerned.

"It's nothing, if you're idle and bored, you can talk to the elders, you won't be bored. I guess if you don't come back, the elders will agree to me going to you. Gou Hong said with a grin.

Qi Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

It must have been the elders who had learned Gou Hong's grinding kung fu of talking to him every day from morning to night, and he was already annoyed. I was so scared that I wanted my ears to be clean as soon as possible, so I agreed to any conditions.

Qi Zhiming laughed, patted Gou Hong's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you really have you!" ”

The two of them put their shoulders on their backs and walked to their hut as they spoke.

The princess's side of the mermaids, chattering and talking, you can't hear who is saying anything at all, but they are chatting happily, and they can be regarded as having fun, right?

Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong returned to the room, and as soon as they entered the room, they found that there were many more animals on the ground. Birds, pheasants, hares, etc., were tied together by Gou Hong with ropes, and there were several jars of wine on the ground.

"Da Gou, where did this wine come from? That's a good thing! I haven't drunk it for a long time, and I've forgotten what wine tastes like. Qi Zhiming said, poured a bowl of wine, drank it all, and smacked his mouth with a reminiscence: "Good wine!" ”

"What the elder gave, he should have quite a few? The old fellow was afraid that I would annoy him, so he sent me away with wine. Brother Ming, you take a break first, and I'll bake a few appetizers later! Gou Hong said to Qi Zhiming while handling the food.

"You hunt these animals, and the elders don't care?" Qi Zhiming asked amusedly.

"As long as I don't talk to that old guy, you can do anything else!" After Gou Hong finished speaking, the two laughed together.

Gou Hong grilled the food, and the two ate the barbecue, raised their glasses and changed the lamps, and ate and drank.

It's really a big piece of meat, a big bowl of wine, so comfortable.

Gou Hong was just about to ask about the experience of this outing, but was stopped by Qi Zhiming. "Wait a minute, I'll set up a formation first to prevent the elders from coming over and eavesdropping." took a few spirit stones and waved his hand to lay out a hidden formation.

"Brother Ming, have you found the spirit stone?" Gou Hong asked in surprise.

"Well, quite a bit. I'll talk to you later. Qi Zhiming replied with a smile.

The two were eating and drinking while talking, and Qi Zhi told Gou Hong in detail about what happened during this outing.

Gou Hong was excited when he heard it, and shouted for excitement to go out together next time.

Drank all night and spoke all night.

······

At the beginning of the morning, the two fell asleep and slept until noon.

"Brother Ming, the old guy changed sex today? Why didn't I ask you to ask questions? Gou Hong asked suspiciously.

"No transsexuality! Look, didn't you send someone to call us? Qi Zhiming pointed to a mermaid girl walking in the distance and said.

Since Qi Zhiming practiced the exercises, his eyesight and hearing have been greatly improved in the past.

Gou Hong followed Qi Zhiming's direction.

Sure enough, a mermaid girl walked up the hillside about 200 meters in front of her and walked straight towards the two.

"Brother Ming, this mermaid really deserves to be a mermaid, it's so beautiful!" Gou Hong said with emotion.

"You kid is a man with a wife! Less fiddling with those fancy intestines and getting home as soon as possible is the right thing! Qi Zhiming bent his middle finger, knocked Gou Hong's head, and taught seriously.

"Hehe, I just talked, and I didn't do it." Gou Hong touched his head and smiled.

While the two were talking and laughing, the mermaid girl came to her and saluted: "Two gentlemen, the elders are invited." ”

Qi Zhiming and Gou Hong agreed, followed behind, and walked towards the hillside of the mermaid people.

······

The two little friends please sit down, and the old man is very grateful. Thank you Qi Xiaoyou for saving the clansmen back. ”

As soon as the two entered the cave, the mermaid elder stood up to greet them, and said thank you in his mouth, looking full of sincerity.

"Old fellow, don't come to this set. My brother Ming was tired all the way, and I was called by you before I could get a good rest. Don't play with all the vanity, if you want to thank you, show some sincerity, and be empty all day long. You're so old, you're not afraid of people's jokes, I'm ashamed of you, it's really worry-free! When Gou Hong heard the elder speak like this, he immediately became angry, and when he came up, he sprayed all the time.

The eyes of all the mermaids widened in surprise, and Qi Zhiming and the princess were also surprised. The Elder is the supreme existence of the merfolk race!

"Hehe, sincere, sincere, I'll give Qi Xiaoyou a few jars of good wine in a while, haha." The elder's face did not change for a moment, and he did not show any anger at Gou Hong's words.

I don't know what method Gou Hong used to make the elder like this, Qi Zhiming was secretly surprised.

"What about mine?" Gou Hong asked seriously.

"It's all, it's all there, haha." The elder said without embarrassment.

"That's pretty much it, let's talk. I didn't get a good night's sleep last night and have to go back to sleep. Brother Ming, I'll go back to sleep first, and after you finish talking, go back and wake me up. After Gou Hong finished speaking, he threw down the stunned crowd and staggered away.

"My brother is straightforward, don't blame the elders for offending!" Qi Zhiming hurriedly apologized.

"Where did Qi Xiaoyou say. Gou Xiaoyou has his own mystery in his chest, and he talks wittily, and the old man admires it. It's been a lot of slacking off before, and I hope that Xiaoyou won't be surprised. The elder said sincerely.

Hearing this, Qi Zhiming was confused, and he didn't know which one Gou Hong and the elder were playing?

I know very well how much ink Gou Hong has in his stomach, and he can't talk about witty words, let alone have a mystery.

"Qi Xiaoyou and the princess have gained a lot from going out this time! Especially when he saved the clan from the hands of the rat people, the old man was deeply grateful. The old man is old, and the clansmen have fallen into the hands of others, but they are powerless to help, ashamed! "Has the elder really changed his sex? It sounds much better than before.

"The younger generation was also met by luck, and it happened to be the opponent's negligence, so it was successful, so the elder should not be polite anymore. If you don't have the help of the princess, you won't be able to get it easily. Qi Zhiming said lightly.

After a few polite words, it turned out that the elder came to Qi Zhiming to discuss how to protect the safety of the mermaid on the island.

Although the princess did not tell how Qi Zhiming used the formation to save the clansmen, the elder was very shrewd and may have analyzed a rough idea from the princess's explanation.

"The younger generation learned some formations by chance. When he rescued his clansmen, he used the power of the formation and was lucky to succeed. Qi Zhiming knew that at this time, he blindly hid his strength and was suspected of deception, so he simply revealed one or two, which would be more credible, so he said simply.

"Xiaoyou is really a genius in the sky, I don't know how powerful the formation is?" The elder asked directly.

"The younger generation has not studied for a long time, and the formation is slightly successful. If there are enough spirit stones, arranging a few formations on the island can still protect the safety of the clansmen. Qi Zhiming said, took out a spirit stone and handed it to the elder.

I had a faint feeling in my heart that the mermaid clan must have spirit stones, and there were quite a few of them.

"This is indeed a spirit stone, I don't know where this spirit stone came from?" The mermaid elder didn't say how to let Qi Zhiming set up a formation to protect the island, but he asked about the origin of the spirit stone.

Thinking of the princess's appearance every time she went out to be a fan of money, and then looking at the expression of the elder at the moment, Qi Zhiming came to a conclusion that mermaids are all money fans. In front of them, you must not show your wealth, you must pretend to be poor, or you will be remembered by them all the time.

"This spirit stone was accidentally obtained by the junior in a shipwreck. There are not many of them, and after the last time they set up a formation to rescue the clansmen, there were only more than ten pieces left. Qi Zhiming said calmly.

This spirit stone was indeed obtained from the shipwreck, and the spirit stone brought back from Longshan had long been hidden elsewhere.

"Qi Xiaoyou needs to use this kind of spirit stone to arrange a protective formation on the island?" The elder asked again.

"As little as a thousand dollars, more is better. The more spirit stones, the longer the formation will run. Qi Zhiming said frankly.

In fact, if the formation is not activated, there is no need to consume spirit stones.

If you continue to attack the formation, the spiritual power of the spirit stone will be exhausted, and the formation will naturally be broken. But I can't say that, at least not now. Keeping some privacy is a guarantee of your basic security, and you can't give it to others.

"Then there is Lao Xiaoyou. There are some spirit stones left by the seniors in the clan, please take them out and give them to Xiaoyou later. With that, the elder turned and left.

Qi Zhiming sat quietly alone, and the people and mermaids were also silent, the entire cave was silent, and the air was dull.

The princess looked at Qi Zhiming silently laughing with big eyes, as if she was teasing and disgusted.

······

The elder came back with a large bag and placed it on the stone table with a "bang".

"Little friend, please see, can these spirit stones still meet your requirements?" The elder is very old, carrying a large bag of spirit stones, afraid of no less than two hundred catties, as easy as lifting a baby. The face is not red, the breath is not panting, and the strength is amazing.

Qi Zhiming opened his pocket and was immediately shocked to close his mouth.

Except for a limited number of spirit stones similar to those obtained from his shipwreck, the others were all pink and yellow top-grade spirit stones. There are also a few purple ones, which are top-grade spirit stones, shining in the pocket, exuding a charming light, full of spiritual power.

I'm afraid that a pink spirit stone can be worth a hundred pieces of my own spirit stone, right? Spirit stones of other colors are even more valuable, especially pink.

"The collection of predecessors is really rich, an ordinary spirit stone is already rare, and this superb spirit stone is even more priceless. Seniors, do you want to use all these spirit stones in the array? Qi Zhiming couldn't help but be surprised.

"The old man is incapable of protecting the safety of his clan, and he is extremely ashamed to use the treasures left by his predecessors in the clan. With Lao Xiaoyou vigorously protecting the safety of the island, the old man was rotten and incompetent, so he had to trust him with a thick face. If the spirit stone is insufficient, even if Xiaoyou speaks, everything depends on Xiaoyou! The elder's face really showed some shame, and there was also sincerity in his words.

"The elder said seriously, although the younger generation has low skills, they must do their best to protect the safety of the island and their clansmen. Rest assured! Qi Zhiming had never seen an elder with such a look, and he couldn't help but be moved.

"Then please Xiaoyou, if you need it, please speak, and you can call the people you need. The princess assists the little friends to set up the formation, and the little friends are at their own convenience! With that, the elder turned and left.

The back of the departure is a lot more rickety, which makes people feel a little sad.

Qi Zhiming bowed and sighed in his heart.
