Others can't see it, but Zhang Xiaofo can see it clearly. When Lanon's hand touched the door, the mermaids came to life and lowered their ugly heads.

Ranon pushed hard, and the door opened.

Finally, everyone's eyes were no longer black, and a vertical light came through the crack in the door, occupying everyone's sight......

When everyone adjusted to the light and opened their eyes again, they found that there was a mysterious space in front of them.

The space is crystal clear, with blue flames burning quietly on both sides.

Abu rubbed his eyes fiercely, looking at the space for a while, and looking at the ancient city outside the space, his mouth was dry, of course, this was partly because he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

Excited in his heart, he couldn't calm down at all, and Lanon stepped into the space.

Zhang Xiaofo did not hesitate and followed in.

Pete didn't want to go in, but he couldn't stand the glitter in his head. When I was a child, the stories of adventures and treasures were so deeply rooted that excitement overcame fear, and he followed in......

……

As soon as you enter the space, you can smell the smell of water in the air.

The first half of the space is a long corridor, and on either side there is a simple vat every three meters or so, and blue flames are burning silently on it.

"What kind of monster is this?" Kelly exclaimed when he saw the merman inside the transparent wall.

"It's an unknown creature!" Rowan was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and through the pale corpse, he seemed to see the overwhelming honor and money: "This is a major discovery...... This is a major discovery......"

"There's something in this tank!" Pete was startled, and after being frightened, he immediately became surprised: "It seems to be a pearl!" ”

Zhang Xiaofo also leaned into the nearest vat and looked inside—a long cotton thread in the middle of a jagged fang, one end of the cotton thread was a flame, and the other end reached into the merman's body. The upper body of the merman, soaked in the transparent liquid, is intact, but the lower half of the body is melted, revealing white bones. The bottom of the vat was covered with white thumb-sized pearls, and there was an unformed one hanging next to the flame. It turned out that the pearl at the bottom of the tank was the ashes of the merman's burning.

"Rich, rich!" Dot, dazzled by the wealth in front of him, hurriedly took off his coat and wrapped his right hand to extinguish the flames. But because he was so anxious, the clothes hooked the merman's teeth, Pete was startled, and hurriedly unwrapped the clothes in his hands, but even so, the merman was still half dragged out of the tank...... Half of the bones...... The skeleton of the merman was pulled out of its mouth alive, and the original scalp fell to the waist...... The upper part of the face is squeezed onto the scalp......

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost!" Pete was so frightened that he overturned the vat at once.

The liquid in the jar rushed out with the merman's corpse at once, and the pearls at the bottom of the jar also rolled out and scattered all around.

"Pearl ......" Kelly is timid, but the greed in human nature still makes her pick up one of the pearls despite her fear - white and crystalline, full, and valuable at a glance.

"Yes! No matter how terrifying, the damned ones are dead, what are we afraid of! Pete reacted and joined the ranks of the pearl snatchers.

Chen Ran felt curious, and also wanted to see what the pearl was, but just wanted to stretch out his hand but was caught by Zhang Xiaofo: "Don't go!" Beware of danger! ”

"Hmph, coward! Hypocrite! Pete laughed at Zhang Xiaofo for being too careful, but in his heart he was very glad that the other party did not snatch these pearls from him: "We are just recycling waste!" ”

Chen Ran pursues the tenet that Zhang Xiaofo must be listened to under special circumstances, so if he is not allowed to move, he will not move. Originally, he didn't care about the ownership of these pearls, but he couldn't stand Pete's shameless face.

Although Vivian was very greedy in her heart, her head was not broken, and when she saw that Zhang Xiaofo and the others did not move, she thought that there was a special reason, so she forcibly resisted the impulse in her heart and stood firmly on Zhang Xiaofo's side.

Abu was worried about Ranon's situation, because his cousin had behaved strangely since the beginning, and now he was staring at the terrible corpses of the mermen.

Bang......

Bang......

It was not enough for Pete and the others to pick up the first vat of pearls, so they drew a scoop according to the gourd, and actually knocked down the vat along the way in turn to pick up the pearls!

"What a greed!" Chen Ran was a little uneasy: "I'm not afraid of being held to death!" ”

"I don't know if those are real pearls!" Zhang Xiaofo explained: "In terms of the way of formation, it is very different from the pearls we are usually familiar with! ”

"Then they picked it up for nothing!" Chen Ran immediately gloated.

"But maybe it's worth more than a pearl!"

Zhang Xiaofo's next sentence made Chen Ran almost suffocated to death: "Then, Xiaofo will also let me pick up a few!" You know I'm here this time, but I've hollowed out my old bottom, and I have to ask for food when I return home! ”

"No way!" Zhang Xiaofo didn't have any room for negotiation: "Even if this thing is valuable, you can't take it!" ”

Chen Ran hung his head dejectedly: "Why? ”

"The formation of pearls is generated by living mussels, and these are produced after the death of the merman, and once they die, the situation is very different!"

"Anyway, you're right!" Chen Ran admitted in his heart that Zhang Xiaofo was right, but he still had to save face.

……

"Lanon, are you alright?" Abu asked.

Ranon finally withdrew his gaze, glanced at Abu, and walked forward decisively.

Zhang Xiaofo had been distracted and paid attention to Lanong, and when he saw that she had started to leave again, he also followed.

"Little Buddha, have you noticed?" Chen Ran bit his ear with Zhang Xiaofo with great interest: "There seems to be no mother among those sharks!" What about the female merman? Isn't it? How do they reproduce? Autologous? ”

"It's possible!" Vivien joined Chen Ran's topic: "After all, it's a species we don't know!" ”

Except for Zhang Xiaofo, no one noticed that when Chen Ran and Vivian were discussing this topic, Lanong, who was leading the way in front, paused slightly.

After walking for about ten minutes, they finally walked out of the corridor and came to a relatively open hall. In the center of the hall is a large fountain......

"Water, saved!" Pete rushed up from behind and threw his head into the pool to drink.

"There is salvation!" Chen Ran was also very thirsty.

"Wait!" Zhang Xiaofo grabbed Chen Ran again, and spat into the fountain.

"Zhang Xiaofo!" Chen Ran was furious: "You don't have to do this thing!" ”

"You can't drink water!" Zhang Xiaofo's good-natured explanation.

"Why can't you drink it?" Chen Ran was puzzled: "The water is very clear!" ”

"My saliva didn't melt!" Zhang Xiaofo pointed to the saliva he spit in the water just now and said, "Under normal circumstances, if the water can be drunk, my saliva should disperse quickly." ”

"Poison in the water?" Chen Ran patted his chest, glad that he was not impulsive.

"The water is sweet, how can it be poisonous!" Pete ignored Zhang Xiaofo's theory at all and urged Kelly: "Hurry up and drink!" ”

Kelly hesitated, she wasn't sure if she could drink the water, so she could only make up a lame reason: "I'm ...... I'm not too thirsty......"

"Let's drink quickly!" Pete was very irritable, in fact, he also cared a little about what Zhang Xiaofo said, so he wanted to find someone like him. Even if you die, you want to pull someone back, a typical human inferiority.
