Chapter 24: The Shark Pearl (1)
"Tianqing, your hand is injured, you disperse the fog, and I will be in charge of the attack when you disperse the fog, how about it?" Hua Zhu asked, turning her head.
"Hmm." Xie Tianqing responded.
Originally, Xie Tianqing was supposed to be in charge of the attack, but now he has only one hand left, and it is really inconvenient to move.
In addition, this Kraken's illusion is indeed very powerful, but the attack power is not strong, which is also a good opportunity for Hua Zhu to exercise.
"You duck behind us. Kindness...... If there is danger, call for help. "Flower Candle teaches seriously.
But Zhanjian felt that what Hua Zhu said was quite reasonable, and nodded his head in a serious response.
Xie Tianqing thought they were very funny, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
They took two steps forward and stood in front of the thick fog. After they glanced at each other, Xie Tianqing began to disperse the dense fog.
At the same time, Hua Zhu also summoned Saken Miao, Miao's whole body was transparent and floating in the air, and she was ready to attack.
After Xie Tianqing waved his hand to clear the dense fog, Hua Zhu controlled Miao to fly towards the sea behind the dense fog.
Miao's speed was very fast, and she pierced the sea almost in the blink of an eye.
And that sea is just a trick to cover the eyes, as Xie Tianqing said. After being pierced by Miao, the sea actually let out a whimper, and it dissipated in an instant, leaving only a figure, and the dense fog did not continue to condense like just now, but scattered around.
Hua Zhu looked at the figure and was stunned for a moment. The main reason was that he didn't expect the legendary Kraken to be so weak......
Could it be that he is just a stronger illusion?
When he got the figure and stood up, the light around him was dim, so that Xie Tianqing and the others couldn't see the appearance of the figure clearly.
Hua Candle's eyes quickly turned, his fingers made a gesture, and Miao instantly appeared at the neck of the figure again, pointing at him with fierce eyes.
This made Xie Tianqing unexpected, he looked at the dazzle candle with an approving gaze, and slowly stepped forward.
And the dense fog seemed to protect him, and they surrounded him one after another, but they had lost their initial attack power, and they were easily dispersed by Xie Tianqing.
Hua Zhu also followed Xie Tianqing and stepped forward, and finally saw the true face of this kraken.
It's actually a merman.
The most obvious features are the scales on his neck and the fins on his elbows.
Zhan Jian also cautiously approached, looking at the shallow kraken and shrunk behind the flower candle in fright.
Next to the neck of this male merman was the Miao sword of the flower candle, and he didn't dare to move at will, only looking at them with terrifying eyes.
"I have been captured, and I am killed." The male merman has a nice voice.
"Man's ...... Isn't it a woman who sings? Zhanjian asked in a low voice.
"To introduce you to this mortal, this is a merman, not a fish demon, although it is very similar, but it is more advanced than the fish demon. They generally live in the East China Sea and Penglai, and rarely appear in the mortal world. And the two things that the merman is best at, one is singing, both male and female, and the other is illusion. "Flower candleway.
Xie Tianqing smiled: "You actually know? Learned? ”
"The first lesson Master taught me was to know all the living beings in the Three Realms, sharks are rare, and I heard that their tears will turn into pearls, and even Master didn't say whether it was true or false, I always remember it."
Zhan Jian also responded excitedly: "Yes! That's what the book says, too. ”
"The sky is clear, or we will let him cry." Hua Zhu also looked at Tianqing with an excited face.
Xie Tianqing glanced at him: "Don't make trouble." Wouldn't it be nice if you asked him about this kind of thing? ”
"Merman, is it really a pearl that falls when you cry?" Hua Candle looked at the merman with a pair of big round eyes.
The mermaid was anxious: "Haven't you ever read this cat?" It's me a merman, not a mussel! ”
Hua Zhu was scolded by the merman, and the excitement on his face suddenly disappeared, with a sense of disappointment.
Xie Tianqing smiled. But that's not the obvious point now.
"You shouldn't be here, why are you here?" Xie Tianqing asked with a straightened expression.
The merman's gaze sank, he lowered his head and looked at himself: "I don't want to be here either, but I can't go back......"
"Can't go back? Did you originally live in Penglai or Donghai? Flower Candle asked.
"Penglai."
"Penglai...... Is Penglai the legendary fairy island? Zhan Jian asked in a whisper behind the candle.
"Yes. There is also a place in the mortal world called Penglai, right? But the real Penglai ...... Kindness...... How to say it. Where it can't be regarded as the fairy world, but it's different from the mortal world, and those who can go anywhere are people with cultivation or demons or immortals. ”
Zhan saw it and nodded: "It's a place between the fairy world and the human world." ”
"Yes." Hua Candle set her sights on the merman again, "So why can't you go back?" ”
"My shark beads are gone...... I can't find the entrance to Penglai, and I'm covered in filthy breath now, even if I find the entrance to Penglai, I can't get in. There was some desperation in the merman's eyes.
"Shark Pearl?" I haven't heard of this thing.
"Shark Zhu is similar to our Yuan Dan. But what is more special about the mermaids in Penglai is that they have been in Penglai since they were born, and their shark beads also absorb the aura of Penglai, so their illusions are more powerful than those who live in the East China Sea. And the merman pearl of Penglai is connected to the breath of Penglai, even if the merman comes out of Penglai, he can find the entrance of Penglai again. ”
"What about your shark beads?" If it is similar to their Yuan Dan nature, it should be a very important thing. And without Yuan Dan, they will die, but the merman can still live without the shark bead?
"By a person...... No...... He is not mortal...... Snatched away by someone who doesn't know what. The merman suddenly knelt on the ground, and he covered his face with his hands, "I would die without the shark pearl, but I don't want to die, so I lured mortals into the illusion and ate their souls." ”
Speaking of this, Zhan Jian suddenly remembered: "That's right! Xiaoya, did you kill Xiaoya? What about another girl? Where is she? ”
The merman looked up: "I didn't kill mortals. Shortly after they entered my illusion, I don't know if they were affected by the illusion or something, they suddenly quarreled, and one of the mortal girls pushed the other off the bridge, and then jumped off herself. ”
Zhanjian's eyes widened: "This ...... How is this possible! You must have seduceed them! ”
The merman looked at Zhanjian dissatisfied: "I didn't have it." He may have thought about doing it, but before he could start, both of them had already jumped off the bridge.
Xie Tianqing thought for a while and said, "There's no need for him to lie now. ”
And that's a mystery. What the hell are they arguing about, arguing so much that one kills the other, and the other kills himself?
"So you were contaminated with the filth of the world because the shark bead was robbed, and then you can't go back to Penglai now?"
The merman nodded: "Hmm." ”
Xie Tianqing and Hua Zhu glanced at each other, and Xie Tianqing said again: "Do you remember what the person who robbed your shark pearl looked like?" ”
The merman thought for a moment: "It's a man, the bangs are very long and cover half of the eyes, the spell is very high, and there is a yin qi all over his body." That's right...... I saw that his obscured eyes were double pupils. ”
"It's Lu Qing again!" Flower candle blurted out.
"Lu Qing? That man's name is Lu Qing? Do you know him? Where is he? ”
"Knowing is knowing, but it's also the kind that has an enmity with us. I always say that he has done a lot of bad things in the world, and I came to arrest him on purpose. "Flower candle spread.
The merman looked the candle up and down: "It's up to you?" ”
Hua Zhu almost couldn't help but give him a paw: "You fish man, what do you mean by this?" ”
"You're the cat man, I'm the shark!"
Xie Tianqing raised his hand to stop their childish quarrel: "Shark man, you can't continue to seduce mortals here, we will find a way to help you get the shark bead back, you may have to live with us for a while before that." ”
Hua Zhu looked dissatisfied: "What? Aren't you afraid that I'll be hungry at night and eat him? ”
Xie Tianqing looked at Hua Zhu with a smile: "No, your taste is not so heavy, is it?" And obviously, I'm a little better looking than him. ”
Hua Candle's face turned red instantly, snorted lightly, and turned his head away without speaking.
The merman sighed: "Now it's all about this." ”
"Hey! What is your attitude now! We're here to help you, and you should be grateful. Hua Zhu said dissatisfiedly.
The merman didn't plan to continue arguing with Hua Candle, he glanced at Hua Candle: "If you can really help me get the shark bead back, I will naturally thank you." ”
"You ......"
Xie Tianqing hugged the flower candle tightly in his arms with his hand, and softly comforted the fried cat: "Okay, okay, don't be angry." Flower candle, you should take Miao back. ”
Now Miao is still against the merman's neck.
Hua Zhu looked up: "This fish man looks down on me." ”
"He is a merman, he lives in Penglai and has never seen the world, forgive him once, the demon lord should be open-minded, right?" Solve the heavens and clear the way.
"Okay. For your sake, don't bother with him. The flower candle retracted Miao.
The merman also heard their conversation, but he was taken aback and looked up and down at the flower candle: "You are the demon master?" ”
Hua Zhu raised his head proudly: "It's like a fake." ”
"I heard that you are the son of the previous demon lord Hua Lian?" The merman's voice and expression changed.
Hua Candle's eyes suddenly changed and he felt very strange, and looked at him suspiciously: "Yes...... Oh, yes...... What's wrong? ”
The merman suddenly took two steps forward and grabbed Hua Candle's hand, but this action made Xie Tianqing a little dissatisfied.
"Then the former Demon Lord also lives with you?"
Hua Zhu was startled by him, withdrew his hand, and then drilled behind Xie Tianqing: "No, he went to play with his father." ”
