Chapter Twenty-Six: The Shrine Maiden
Bai Mu untied the rope, and then quickly tied the little mermaid's wrist. "I'm afraid you'll run away."
The little mermaid's cheeks were bulging, and she was obviously angry. She jumped into the water, and Bai Mu jumped in after her. A sense of oppression suddenly arises and then gradually dissipates. She jumped into a bubble, which was transparent, and it was the little mermaid who made it. Bai Mu grabbed the rope tightly, shook it, and motioned for the little mermaid to hurry up. The other party glared at her through gritted teeth, then turned his head away, and swam up with his tail swinging.
Bai Mu watched the fish around her swim past her with curiosity, and when she looked up, the sea water was transparent, and the sun was shining on it...... It's incredible.
Slowly, the light dimmed, and Bai Mu felt as if the water pressure was stronger.
The place where the old witch lived, it seemed to be very deep.
Coming to a cave, the little mermaid shouted something, and then an unusually large white shell next to it slowly opened, the little mermaid swam over, and Bai Mu was also brought in.
The shell closed, and it was dark at first, and then suddenly somewhere lit up, and a woman in a black robe held a candle in her hand, and her fat face was illuminated with a very pale light, which looked extremely terrifying.
Her eyes slowly turned to Bai Mu, and her mouth opened: "There is oxygen here, put away the bubbles." β
Bai Mu frowned and looked at the witch, the other party was not young anymore, his face was full of wrinkles, even if he had a lot of fat, he didn't look better. She glanced at the little mermaid, who silently withdrew the bubble.
"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" The old witch smiled.
Bai Mu said seriously: "I want to ask you about something, what do you need?" β
The old witch smiled, "Well, let me think about it...... How about your eyes? β
Bai Mu was taken aback, the old witch rubbed her chin layer by layer, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just a joke." Well, if you inquire about the news, I won't take anything from you, don't worry. β
Bai Mu glanced at the little mermaid, and the other party had already shrunk into the corner.
It's really not angry, Bai Mu despises it.
"Is there a so-called 'fairy'?" Bai Mu asked, "What kind of people are they?" β
The old witch snorted lightly: "Fairy? Oh, those old things are the same as me, at most they have a good skin, which makes stupid humans gullible. They, like me, are magicians, and some of us were born with magic, and some of us learned it later. β
Bai Mu's eyes suddenly lit up: "What about you?" β
The old witch was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I learned it myself......"
"I want to learn too." Bai Mu is colorful.
The old witch squinted slightly and looked at her for a while: "What do you exchange for?" β
Bai Mu thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want?" I'm not going to trade my body parts for it. β
The old witch pouted: "It's really stingy. It's better to do this, the most basic, you can exchange coins with me, but the currency at the bottom of the sea is different from the one on your land. β
Bai Mu's heart froze: "What is it?" β
"You can think of it as a shell." The old witch smiled slightly, "But it's not an ordinary shell. Little mermaid, you know where that place is, take her there. Well, I don't want too many, just ten, and then I'll give you a magic book and then briefly guide you, not bad? β
Bai Mu looked at the little mermaid, and the other party's eyes widened, looking stupid.
"What's wrong?" Bai Mu asked.
The little mermaid glanced at the old witch with some fear, and said nothing.
The old witch waved her hand, and they then appeared outside, and then the little mermaid hurriedly made bubbles for Bai Mu.
"Take me there, what is that place? And what are the so-called shells? Bai Mu said.
The little mermaid frowned: "It's not as easy as the old witch said, it's very dangerous." The so-called shell is actually an extremely valuable thing, not a simple currency...... Well, if you go, you probably won't get anything, after all, you don't have any special abilities, and you may lose your life. β
"Tell me what it is." Bai Mu sat down cross-legged, held his chin and asked, looking very interested, which made the little mermaid choke suddenly.
"Well, it's a taboo-like place. It seems harmless, and there are even some people who can obtain extremely valuable things inside, but most of them are there to either lose their lives or not be able to get out of it intact. No one knows what kind of place it is, and no one really knows about it. Even if someone managed to get out, they wouldn't know what that place was. The little mermaid rarely looked solemn, "And you don't have any special abilities, and it's impossible for you to survive there." β
Bai Mu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know how to get out there?" β
"How could I possibly know." The little mermaid rolled her eyes, "It's naΓ―ve to think that you can go out at any time when you're in danger." β
Bai Mu hooked the corners of his mouth and pulled the rope, and the little mermaid came to the bubble unexpectedly. Bai Mu looked at her and smiled, "Let's go?" Don't worry, I'll definitely reward you. β
"You think I'm your pet?" The little mermaid took a deep breath and exited the bubble: "...... What can you give me? β
"I've already saved your life." Bai Mu looked at her with a smile. That's right, Bai Mu specially pulled the little mermaid to this place, so that she was saved by the prince, and then fell in love at first sight, and then died because of it, which was already considered to have saved her life.
The little mermaid looked 'believe in you as a ghost', and then wagged her tail helplessly and swam slowly with Bai Mu.
The light was getting darker and darker, and Bai Mu felt an indescribable sense of oppression in the bubbles.
Is it because the little mermaid keeps going deeper?
Bai Mu became nervous and clenched Mu Zhao.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, Bai Mu encouraged herself like this and let her maintain a certain amount of courage.
The sudden light made Bai Mu startled, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
Ocean Paradise.
A huge blue playground gate appeared in front, and the little mermaid stopped, looked at the childlike atmosphere of the amusement park with some vigilance, and said, "It's here, do you want to go in?" β
Bai Mu looked at it for a while. The gate was blue, with two large white shells lying on either side of the gate, and the signs were very conspicuous, but it was unknown why there were no creatures nearby. The side of the gate was full of balloons, all of which were pink, but in Bai Mu's eyes, they were all weird.
It's just weird to have such a place at the bottom of the sea.
