Chapter 188: A Gift from the Mermaid Village
After about five minutes, Ye Qiuyao finally took Lin Yu to the bottom of the sea.
Due to the bright light in the "underwater world", Lin Yu's vision here was not hindered.
On the contrary, Ye Qiuyao said that her vision was clearer.
Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao circled around the "underwater world", trying to find the door to enter.
Lin Yu looked inside through the transparent glass cover, there were almost hundreds of houses of all sizes, and it seemed that it was also a fairly large village.
The appearance of the house made Lin Yu find a feeling of ancient architecture.
Because these houses are built of wood, the wood should be made of these trees that grow on the bottom of the sea around the "underwater world".
Before Lin Yu could take a deeper look at the appearance of the village, two people swam in the transparent glass cover.
Why did you say that it was swimming over, because Lin Yu clearly saw that there was water in the transparent glass cover, and the depth of the water was waist-deep.
"It is estimated that if Fang Ya comes, her hair will be wet!"
Lin Yu secretly thought in his heart, he didn't know why he suddenly remembered Fang Ya......
The two "people" who came over should be mermaids to be precise.
Lin Yu clearly saw that under the clear water, the two people had no legs or feet, only a long fish tail with scales.
"Wow, are you mermaids?" Ye Qiuyao obviously noticed this, and immediately couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, and shouted at the two mermaids who came over.
But when Ye Qiuyao finished shouting, the two mermaids were indeed at a loss:
"Ku you? Wow wow wow kuku you? One of the mermaids said with a gesture of "please".
"It seems that there is a language barrier, they can't eat people! Want to trick us into eating? Lin Yuhu glanced at the two mermaids suspiciously, and then looked at Ye Qiuyao, meaning to let her have an idea.
"Negative Sentiment from Ye Qiuyao +100"
"Have you forgotten what we're here for? I see that they are still very kind, let's go in and see, is it okay, I still have a trick, it should be no problem to run when the time comes! Ye Qiuyao rolled her eyes at Lin Yu, and then said confidently.
Lin Yu stared at Ye Qiuyao's eyes for another two seconds, and after confirming that she was really confident, he finally put her mind at ease.
Then Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao communicated with the two fishmen with a series of gestures.
What is usually solved in one sentence, the two of them actually communicated for half an hour.
"Oh! I see, they said let's just go in, this transparent cover should only keep out the water, not us. Lin Yu said as he reached out to touch the protective cover.
"Ding—Discover a new area, Mermaid Village." A sudden system prompt made Lin Yu quickly retract his outstretched hand.
"New areas? Why didn't you mention it when you found the Qilin Hall and the Deadwood Temple before? Lin Yu was very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about these things now.
Just now, when Lin Yu stretched out his hand, Lin Yu's fingers did not feel the obstruction of the protective cover.
"It just seems, my fingers have reached out." Lin Yu stared at Ye Qiuyao.
Ye Qiuyao and Lin Yu glanced at each other, and then looked at the two mermaids in the protective cover, from their eyes, Ye Qiuyao knew that Lin Yu's attempt just now was right.
So the two of them swaggered into the mermaid village.
After entering the mermaid village, although Ye Qiuyao's upper body was in the air, her lower body was also in a hydrophobic state, and there was not a drop of water on the ground where she was.
Lin Yu walked very close to her, so he didn't have to paddle away.
Strangely, the two merfolk didn't make any strange expressions after seeing this scene.
Inside the protective cover, two merfolk lead the way.
At this time, Lin Yu carefully looked at the appearance of the two mermaids.
Looking at the looks and listening to the voices, it was determined that the two mermaids must be men.
And looking at what they are wearing, although the second half of their lives are fishtails and they don't wear anything, but the upper body is indeed wearing a suit of armor, this kind of armor, Lin Yu has seen ancient soldiers in TV and movies, probably this style of wear.
With a spear in his hand, it should be the profession of a soldier.
Since the Mermaid Village is enclosed by a hemispherical transparent protective cover, the buildings of their village are also circular in style.
Circles of houses are clustered around a large tree at the center of the ball.
The big tree was very tall, although it was far worse than the Sleeping Tree, but Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao saw the big tree as soon as they entered the Mermaid Village.
The variety of the big tree is indescribable to Lin Yu, its leaves are golden yellow, and it also glows, and from a distance, it looks like a huge and bright small light bulb hanging on the branches.
Don't think about it, this must be the light source of this mermaid village, maybe even this transparent cover has something to do with this big tree.
The two merfolk took Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao through the big tree in the center of the mermaid village and came to a building behind the tree.
This building is a little different from the others.
Because Lin Yu noticed that along the way, all the buildings were only one floor, and Lin Yu guessed that the mermaids needed water for their lives, so they couldn't build two-story buildings.
But the building behind the tree was indeed a two-story building.
The first floor is like a normal building, half of it is soaked in water, and the mermaid is just right to stand up in it, and the upper half of its body is in the air.
There would definitely be no water on the second floor, unless they had some special way of storing it.
The two merfolk soldiers who had brought them over stopped in front of the building, and then stood on either side of the door.
"It seems that their mission has been accomplished, and they are responsible for guarding this place." Ye Qiuyao said to Lin Yu while looking at them with a smile.
Then the two soldiers and mermaids made a gesture of invitation and a gesture to go up, signaling Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao to enter the door and go to the second floor.
"Sure enough, there must be something greasy on this second floor, and the reward for the core of the water aura must be here!" Lin Yu thought excitedly in his heart.
The two soldiers opened the door, and Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao walked in.
On the second floor of the wooden building, Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao met the person who invited them up.
That's right, a person, a gray-haired old lady.
She held a scepter in her hand, and an aqua blue gem was set on the scepter, which was particularly dazzling.
As soon as the old lady saw Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao, she immediately became excited.
She stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yu's hand, and Lin Yu was afraid that she would fall, so he hurriedly picked her up.
Then she let go of Lin Yu's hand and shook Ye Qiuyao's hand next to her.
Just when Lin Yu wanted to ask something, the old lady opened her mouth first.
"It was you who brought back the water elemental and brought our mermaid village back to life!"
The old lady was also very excited, and there were tears in her eyes.
"We are a mermaid village, all thanks to the blessing of the sacred tree in front of us, which creates a hydrophobic protective cover, provides us with light, so that we can have such a comfortable home at the bottom of the sea."
"But just fifty years ago, the source of the divine tree's energy, the water element, suddenly disappeared, and it suddenly became dim, but it was still desperately supporting the hydrophobic protective shield so that the mermaids could survive, but the mermaid village fell into darkness for fifty years."
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help choking up, and paused for a while before continuing:
"The Sacred Tree has been consuming its energy reserves, providing us with light that can only survive, and for fifty years, it has become like a dead tree after it was once lush and leafy."
"Fortunately, just a few days ago, the water element returned, and the divine tree suddenly glowed, and when I saw the canalic channel on the top of the sacred tree, I knew that it was the water element that came back!"
"Yes, we are saved because of you, and you are our benefactors."
While talking, the old lady was about to kneel down for Lin Yu and Ye Qiuyao, but fortunately, Lin Yu was quick and quickly helped the old lady to sit down on the stool.
"Grandma, don't think so, we did this completely unintentionally, because we didn't know in advance that there was such a world under the sea, so it was a complete accident that we saved you, haha!" Lin Yu said with a smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere at the scene.
"Yes, grandmother, you are the village chief here! Judging by the way you look, you shouldn't be a mermaid, how can you live here? Ye Qiuyao asked puzzled.
This is also a question that Lin Yu is very curious about.
"It can be said that I am the village chief here, because I am a mermaid chosen by the Divine Tree, and I have gained the ability to communicate with the Divine Tree, and the price is that I will become a human, in which case I will no longer be able to live normally with ordinary mermaids, which means that I will be lonely for the rest of my life."
"But if we do this, we can understand the instructions of the Divine Tree more clearly, and make the mermaids in our mermaid village happier, which is very happy for me to see."
Seeing the old grandmother talking about this with a happy face, Lin Yu was also infected by her greatness.
Fortunately, he and Ye Qiuyao accidentally let the water element return, saved the sacred tree here, and saved the entire mermaid village.
"I've communicated with the Divine Tree, and to thank you, we, the Mermaid Village, will give you a gift." As he spoke, the village chief opened a small wooden box that was placed on the table.
A golden leaf lay quietly in the wooden box.
"Is this the leaf of the sacred tree?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
The village chief nodded: "That's right, the Divine Tree asked me to give it to you, but this little girl can't use it, because the power of the water element is the best reward for her!" ”
Lin Yu thought about it, so he could accept this reward with peace of mind, and it was a big deal to go out and invite Ye Qiuyao to dinner!
