Chapter 72 - Ancient Ruins (I)

Since a month ago, Tsukimi and Chi Mudie came to the ancient ruins to support the water tribe against the raid of the Dark Guild, there has not been a day when they have received a good look from the catfish king and his group of shrimp and crab generals, they were first dissatisfied that the one who came to support was not Canglan who they named, and then denounced the dragon's tooth for not paying enough attention to their water tribe and the ancient ruins, and the two weak women who were sent to support were two weak women with insufficient combat strength.

For the denunciation of the water tribe, the easiest way for Tsukimi and Chi Mudie to deal with it is to prove their strength in a competition. So they first asked the Catfish King to select the one hundred elite generals with the strongest combat power from all the generals of the water tribe he was most proud of, and divided them into teams of fifty people, and the two of them competed alone, and announced in a high-profile manner that they could end the game in the time of a stick of incense.

At the beginning, the catfish king also scoffed at the conditions of the competition they proposed, and whispered to the herald that he wanted to teach these two girls who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a good lesson, but all these words did not escape Chi Mudie's ears, and when the incense of the burning time was just halfway burned, the hundred elite generals of the water tribe had all been wiped out and lay on the ground, and then look at the catfish king's complexion, which had completely changed from the original earth gray to carbon black, and that stunned look made Chi Mudie and Yuejian want to snicker every time they think of it.

However, after that, although the attitude of the Catfish King eliminated the original disdain, he was still wary of the two of them, and the words he said were often contradictory and full of loopholes.

Although Yuejian and Chi Mudie knew the suspicions in it, they didn't deliberately puncture it, but they just pushed the boat down the river according to the words of the Catfish King on the bright side, so that the water tribe relaxed part of their vigilance, and then began to carry out their own secret investigations in secret.

In the course of a month, Tsukimi and Chi Mudie were deliberately separated, and during the day, they each led their troops to the area that was similar to the demonic qi in their mouths, but they returned one by one. And when they rested late at night, although they were arranged in the same crystal palace, they separated their rooms, and sent heavy soldiers to guard outside their respective doors overnight on the grounds of ensuring their safety, and after the two returned to their rooms after they were busy with the things they had arranged for the day, they would find that the beds in their rooms and some places where they could hide were turned over and carefully put back in their places every day.

Chi Mudie's hearing is already different from ordinary people, and it is even more powerful in these connected waters, and even the catfish king can hear the private conversations with his concubines at night. She and Tsukimi were placed in two adjoining rooms, so Tsukimi's soft murmur in the room could not only make the guards outside the house unheard, but also make Chi Mudie hear it clearly.

So after careful observation and deliberation, Tsukimi decided to open a secret passage on the partition wall of the two of them's room to facilitate the exchange of information and intelligence.

However, the crystal stone used to build this crystal palace was hard beyond the expectations of the two, because the two were afraid that the movement of their late night wall chiseling would alarm the guards outside the house, so they could only use the tip of their weapon to cut off the crystal stone little by little, and carefully put away the crystal stone fragments and hide them in their own spiritual wrapping, in this kind of caution, it took them half a month to open this tunnel that only allowed one arm to pass through. And when this secret passage was completely opened, the two exchanged information in their hands, and finally discovered the necessity of this tunnel.

In this half moon, Tsukimi discovered that there seemed to be a secret path that led to the back of the Catfish King's bedroom, and Chi Mudie had also heard some information about this secret path in the conversation between the Catfish King and the concubine, so the two decided after deliberation that the next day, Chi Mudie would first transfer the nearby guards on the grounds of catching assassins, and then Tsukimi would break into his dormitory on the grounds of protecting the Catfish King, and quietly release the water repellent flame prepared in advance, forcing him out of the Crystal Palace, and taking advantage of this gap to sneak into the secret path for detailed investigation.

So the next day, the two acted according to the plan, Chi Mudie shouted in the room, "There is an assassin!" After shouting, "There is an assassin!" in the room, the pre-arranged pink rabbit king slammed a window, and hurriedly hid outside the house, the guards outside the room really hit the plan, and all rushed in, and saw the broken window and Chi Mudie who came out of the window, and he didn't know how to react for a while, and Yuejian also entered, and gave an order to the overwhelmed guards in a firm tone.

"Why are you all still stunned here, why don't you hurry up and chase the assassins! I'll go to the Sea King's side to support first, so as not to happen!"

The half-stupid guards chased after them without thinking about this, and shouted the rest of the guards along the way to follow Chi Mudie outside the Crystal Palace.

Tsukimi quickly took this opportunity to sneak into the catfish king's dormitory, and released a water-repellent flame on the edge of his bed, and the blue flames climbed quickly along the gorgeous bed, and Yuemi went around the catfish king's bedroom, and shouted "fire!" at the corner of the door, and then rushed into the catfish king's bedroom in a hurry, and quickly dragged the catfish king and his concubine to escape together.

Later, the Sea King guards who arrived hurriedly surrounded the three layers of the Catfish King and escorted them to a safe place, leaving only a team of small soldiers to assist Tsukimi in extinguishing the sudden fire. In the fire extinguishing room, Tsukimi pretended to be unintentional and asked if there was a secret passage to the outside world in the Sea King's bedroom, and a soldier who didn't seem to understand the world told everything at once.

"Behind the Sea King's bedroom, there is a hidden path to the Phantom Sea Secret Realm, which is the secret passage that the Sea King has only ordered someone to open in the past year, although it leads to the Phantom Sea Secret Realm, but on weekdays, the entrances and exits on both sides are guarded by elite generals, and the assassin should not enter from there, unless this assassin is an acquaintance who often comes and goes here. ”

When he said the last sentence, the little soldier suddenly lowered his voice, mysteriously took Tsukimi to a place far away from their chief guard, and continued to say to Tsukimi in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am Chi Yi, a confidant sent by the Chi City Lord to investigate two years ago, this is all the information I have found in the past two years, if you and the little princess have other needs, just come to me, I will do my best to help." ”

Yuejian was slightly startled when he heard this, and then recovered instantly, quietly took a bulging bag handed by this little soldier, and walked to the captain of the guard as if nothing happened, frowning worriedly and said: " There was also an assassin in our room just now, and the warrior who came with me had already led his troops to chase him, but the assassin fled towards the outside of the crystal palace, and I was afraid that the thief was diverting the tiger from the mountain, so he broke into the sea king's dormitory without permission, but he didn't expect to be a step too late, and the thief seemed to have just released this water flame, and was scared away by a shout from me at the door, and then he didn't know where to flee. ”

The captain of the guard also frowned and pondered, and after a while, he took Tsukimi around the Sea King's dormitory, and then through a large dense coral jungle, and came to the secret path they said, but when everyone walked through the tall and dense coral thicket, the situation in front of them made everyone present change their faces.

I saw that several of the Imperial Guards in battle armor who were originally stationed on the Secret Way were lying on the ground at this time, and what was even more strange was that there was no trace of a fight around them, and the captain of the guard took the lead in rushing to the unconscious Imperial Forester, and after checking it, he turned his head to Tsukimi and said his conclusion.

"They were stunned by the drunken fish grass with flowers, and it was probably the assassin who had escaped from the Sea King's chamber just now. ”

Tsukimi was also shocked by the situation in front of her at first, and when she was thinking about the next coping strategy, she turned her head and found a small pinch of pink fluff hanging on the nearby dwarf coral, she immediately understood that these must have been done by Chi Mudie, and when she was thinking about whether she had already sneaked into the secret way, she suddenly found that four more guards who came to change the guard walked out from the other side of the secret way.

The Imperial Forest Army who walked out of the secret path was also stunned by the situation in front of them, and hurriedly rushed forward to inquire about the situation, and Tsukimi also took advantage of their attention to focus on the unconscious Royal Forest Army, quietly took off the rabbit fur hanging on the coral and hid it in his spirit wrap, and then approached together pretending to be surprised.

The captain of the guard first asked the guards if they had encountered any suspicious characters on the way, and one of them shook his head and said: "There is only one passage in this path, and at most two people can pass side by side, if there are really any suspicious characters, they should meet us face to face, but we didn't meet anyone on the way just now." ”

After thinking for a while, Tsukimi frowned and asked, "Then who usually goes in and out of this trail of yours?"

After thinking for a while, the Imperial Forest Army replied truthfully: "Except for the Royal Forest Army who comes here every 4 hours to pick up the guard, the only people who enter and exit this trail are Lord Aquaman and a red ...... who has had a good personal relationship with Lord Aquaman in the past year."

When the Imperial Forest Army said this, he suddenly lowered his head in horror, not daring to say more, Tsukimi saw through the reflection of the sword in the hand of the Imperial Forest Army that the Catfish King who was rushing behind was glaring angrily at the Royal Forest Army who had just spoken, and then he heard a light cough from him, and the other guards and the Royal Forest Army instantly knelt on the ground, and Tsukimi also politely turned around and saluted.

The Catfish King approached with square steps and waved everyone to get up, and Tsukimi continued to ask, "I don't know what this Royal Forest Army brother just said is a red who has a good personal relationship with Lord Aquaman?"

The Royal Forest Army who said the wrong thing just now was already scared and trembled, and the Catfish King smiled and said perfunctorily: "Oh, that's a red-clothed priest who is good at divination, and strange things have happened frequently here in the past year, so I often invite her to come and make a good fortune for me, this trail is also a shortcut I built in order to facilitate access to the secret realm of the Phantom Sea, if the young man still has any doubts, I can take the young man in and walk around, so that the young man can rest assured." ”

The Catfish King just said it politely, but he didn't expect Tsukimi to respond to his words: "That's fine, please take me in for everyone's safety, so as not to be overlooked by the Royal Forest Army." ”

The Catfish King was stunned for a moment, and then stiffly laughed dryly, but he could only reluctantly take Tsukimi and several Royal Forest Soldiers into the tunnel carved out of the rocky mountains under the sea.

After entering the Yongdao, the Catfish King obviously accelerated the pace of walking, and the already short Yongdao soon came to an end, although Yuejian was silent all the way, pretending not to care and following the Catfish King on a brisk walk, but years of experience still made her find a lot of clues here.

Out of the road, in front of the eyes is a row of neat by the giant shell built of the Royal Forest Barracks, the Royal Forest Army on duty saw the Sea King coming, they all came out, the leading general was even more frightened kneeling down and asked: "I don't know that the Sea King came in person, and I ask the Sea King to forgive me for the negligence of the Wei Chen! It's just that you came in person this time, but there is something wrong with the Royal Forest Army that bothers you?"

The Catfish King seemed to be afraid that they would reveal the secret again, so he quickly asked them to get up first, and then opened his mouth to answer: "Just now, there are assassins in the dormitory of the two young heroes sent by me and the Dragon's Fang, and the Royal Forest Army on the other side of this road is also stunned, so this young hero said that he was afraid that the assassin had escaped into this corridor, so I specially brought her over to check, did you guys who were guarding here find any suspicious characters coming out of here?"
