Chapter Seventy-Three—Ancient Ruins (Part II)

The leader of the Imperial Forest Army thought that the Sea King had come to ask them for their guilt, so he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again, and replied in a trembling voice: "It's Weichen's dereliction of duty! Except for the four officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army who went to change the guard today, I really haven't seen anyone enter or leave here, nor have I noticed any unusual movement that is different from usual. ”

After hearing this, the Catfish King first snickered with satisfaction, and then turned to Tsukimi with a light cough, "It seems that the assassin really didn't escape here, what clues did the young man find along the way?"

Yuemi also pretended to be very puzzled, frowned and shook his head, "I didn't catch any clues, but I don't know where this Royal Forest Barracks is?"

The royal forest soldiers kneeling on the ground did not dare to say much, and the catfish king explained to Tsukimi with a smile: "After passing through this barracks, and then walking through a bloody coral forest, you will arrive at the largest trade area of our ancient ruins-the Phantom Sea Secret Realm, if the two young heroes are interested in pearls or rare coral shellfish, I will let the turtle minister bring the two of them to play tomorrow." ”

Yuejian also smiled and said: "Thank you Aquaman for bothering, it's just that this assassin was actually chased and lost by me today, and I ask Aquaman not to be surprised." ”

When the Catfish King heard Tsukimi say this, he thought that she hadn't discovered any secrets he wanted to hide, so he was also relieved in his heart, and then pretended to be kind, waved his hand to Tsukimi, " People are not sages, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, not to mention those thieves are obedient and treacherous, and they are actually divided into two ways to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, if it is not for the young man's quick response, the first to rush into my dormitory and find a fire, I am afraid that I have already been swallowed by the water and flames, and now how to blame, but I don't know if another young man has caught the thief, we should still go back first. ”

Yuejian also nodded yes, and then the Catfish King personally ordered twenty royal forest soldiers and returned to the Crystal Palace with them, at this time, Chi Mudie also happened to come back with the guards who went to chase the assassin with her just now, and those guards were also exhausted.

Chi Mudie saw that Yuejian, who was following behind the Catfish King, glanced at her, so she greeted her, and pretended to be depressed and breathed quickly and said to the Catfish King: "Lord Aquaman, please forgive me, the thief ran too fast, we chased all the way from the Crystal Palace to the Coral Hill, but the thief took the opportunity to get into the coral jungle and disappeared, we searched the entire Coral Hill and did not find his shadow, and finally let him run away." ”

Behind the Catfish King, Yue Jian felt that he was obviously relieved when he heard that he had not caught the assassin, and then waved his hand to Chi Mudie and said: "The young man is not a water tribe, he is not suitable for living in this water, not to mention that the thief is cunning, just run away, the two young heroes are not injured is the luck in the misfortune, I specially transferred these royal forest troops, and then strengthen the vigilance for the two of them." ”

Yuejian walked to Chi Mudie's side and frowned at the Catfish King: "I don't think that thief is coming at the two of us, and he seems to be afraid of the two of us, just sneak attack and don't dare to fight head-on." Today's incident is obviously that he wants to transfer us away from Lord Aquaman's side, and then wait for an opportunity to harm you. We have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and our strength is enough to protect ourselves, so I think these Imperial Guards should be arranged to strengthen the garrison outside your dormitory. ”

At this time, the little soldier who had just given Yue Jian tips also came up to help and said: "The subordinates all think that this young man is reasonable, the two young heroes are very strong, even if there are thieves sneak attack, they can deal with it freely, but Lord Aquaman, you are the head of the water tribe, and one person is responsible for the rise and fall of the entire water tribe, if there is no help from these two young heroes today, the temporary negligence of the subordinates will cause an irreparable mistake!

After Xiao Bing finished speaking, he knelt down in front of the Catfish King, and the other soldiers and the Royal Forest Army also knelt down, and said in unison: "Please Lord Sea King cherish yourself more and strengthen the garrison of the dormitory!"

The Catfish King hadn't reacted to this situation for a while, he had already suspected that this assassin incident might be a fake drama sung by the two of them, and these Royal Forest Army also wanted to be transferred to guard the two of them, and he didn't want to shoot himself in the foot now, but in this kind of scene, he could only respond to the request of the soldiers in a muffled voice, and then said that he would return to his study to continue to deal with government affairs, and then replaced the soldiers who were originally guarding in front of the two people's dormitory must not let go.

Tossing to this time, it is close to noon, although you can't see the sunrise and sunset changes underwater, but every day at this time the maids will send carefully prepared meals, today it happened that Yuejian was helping Chi Mudie clean up the room after the 'fight', and counted whether personal belongings were missing, so he casually ordered the maids to put the meals on both sides together.

In the dining room between the two, the craftsmen who came to repair the window ridges continued to knock and beat, so Tsukimi and Chi Mudie talked and laughed freely on their faces, but secretly they used their bodies to cover and exchange their own information with gestures.

Tsukimi: Just now I met your brother's cronies who sent him to go undercover two years ago, and in his bag he gave me was a detailed map of the ancient ruins, which marked that there was a secret room in the corridor behind the catfish's dormitory.

Chi Mudie: I also heard that after the catfish returned to the study, he immediately told the turtle prime minister that he wanted to strengthen the surveillance of us, and also talked about not letting us get close to there again, the turtle prime minister seemed to think that his approach was inappropriate, but after the persuasion was fruitless, he could only sigh and leave.

Tsukimi: It seems that there are indeed secrets that can't be known to us, and after this period of observation, I think you have also noticed that there is no demonic energy infection and invasion of the Dark Guild here, and the words that the little soldier said just now are likely to be followed by the woman in red, which may be the dark guild's Youlan.

Chi Mudie: On the night when we won the heads-up with fifty Aquarium generals, I also heard the only time that there was a strange woman's voice, saying to the catfish, "It's not Canglan, you can't handle it, what kind of mutual benefit and mutual assistance are you talking about", and then the catfish seemed to take out some treasure to exchange with her, and said" I've been helping you keep this secret since I found him in the Sea of Death a year ago, and I've built that secret room to store that thing that is useless to us, and you can't be untrustworthy now", and now that you say so, this woman is probably Youlan, and she seems to have seized on some of the catfish's weaknesses and threatened him with it.

Seeing this, Tsukimi was suddenly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Sea of Death?" Are you sure the catfish is talking about the Sea of Death?

Chi Mudie confirmed it again seriously: I'm sure he's talking about the Sea of Death, but I don't know if it's the Sea of Death under the Seven Floating Islands, which is also a doubt I've been thinking about, I remember that the president also told us before that any creature that falls into the Sea of Death will definitely be melted to the point that there are no bones left, does that catfish really have the ability to dive into the Sea of Death and find something? In addition, I heard a rumor from a maid that the catfish had not been put to bed by his queen for a year, and now I think it may have something to do with it.

Tsukimi's face gradually turned cold, and after thinking for a while, he made a series of gestures: We must pass on this news to the chairman immediately, and then we must find a way to find out what secrets are hidden in that secret room, and then we must prevent the catfish dog from jumping over the wall and killing us.

When Chi Mudie saw this, she suddenly sneered, and asked Yuejian with a gesture: The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, what did the fish jump in a hurry?

Tsukimi also chuckled: It is said that after the carp jumps over the dragon gate, it will become a real dragon, and I think he is just a stupid fish who not only did not jump over the dragon gate, but also let his face hit the ground first, and broke his brain.

When the two of them said this, they couldn't help laughing, and a craftsman who was repairing the window outside also whispered to his companion next to him: "The people who fight the dragon's fangs are really amazing, the two little girls have just been attacked by assassins and made such a scene, and they can laugh so happily immediately after they come back, this powerful person is really different from us!"

Another craftsman also whispered back: "Of course, and haven't you heard? The fangs of the war dragon have the help of real dragons, what about us?

His companion nodded in agreement, and the two began to whisper while repairing the window while teasing the ugly things of the Catfish King over the years, and when they repaired the window and left, Chi Mudie whispered to Tsukimi: "It seems that the reputation of this catfish is really bad enough." ”

Tsukimi nodded, "Although the royal family and nobles of the Water Tribes have always disapproved of interacting with other clans, their people don't seem to think so, so they even separate the royal city from the main city. ”

Just as the two were about to discuss the next step of the exploration plan, the herald of the Catfish King brought the news of the suspected demonic qi infection incident in the two places, and ordered the two of them to bring troops to check on each other.

When they saw the herald, they already knew that this was another trick by the Catfish King who wanted to transfer them out of the Crystal Palace, but they could only continue to quietly obey the dispatch while conducting a secret investigation after returning to the Crystal Palace.

When they finally received the news of the victory of the War Dragon's Tooth from the outside world, the two of them had already traveled to every area of the ancient ruins, and that night, Chi Mudie also heard the shocking news from the mouth of the Catfish King and the mysterious woman.

They were going to transfer the mysterious items stored in that secret room at midnight the next day!

So Chi Mudie immediately passed the news to Yuejian through the hole in the wall that they had dug out, and asked her a little anxiously whether she should outwit or take it by force next.

After hearing the news, Yuejian took out an object and shook it at the entrance of the hole in front of Chi Mudie's eyes without hurrying, and then smiled mysteriously at her, "Don't worry, our reinforcements have just arrived, so let's take a quiet look at how that catfish is going to deal with us, and then follow his plan to see how to dismantle it." ”

Chi Mudie also recognized at a glance that what Yuejian was holding in his hand was the half of the jade pendant that the president usually hung on his waist, and when they were practicing on Lingjian Mountain, they had also asked curiously about the origin of the half jade pendant several times, but the president's statement was very different each time, so until now, they didn't know where this jade pendant, which was very important to the president, came from and why it was only this broken half.

After Chi Mudie re-blocked the hole in the wall, it suddenly occurred to her that if it was the president who came to support, then would her brother Shi Ruo also come with her? In the two years that he lived on Penglai Island and the five years he practiced in Lingjian Mountain, he always got along with him day and night, and he was also very caring for himself, although in the month of separation, Chi Mudie was thinking about how to deal with emergencies every day, and had no time to think about other things, and now he was facing the pre-war rest period of the last battle, and suddenly remembered when he returned to the sea, he was slightly aware of the ignorant thoughts in his heart, and he couldn't help but bump into his heart like a deer for a while.
