Chapter 168: Dubin's Gamble

"Psimon, who's behind me?" The Night Spirit Officer extinguished the flash of light from his body.

"Isn't this the big sapper of the cone-jawed elephant trunk fish pet master? You also participated in security patrols the last time the Imperial City Arsenal rose weapons were manufactured. Psimon replied, "Your pet is a freshwater fish, and there must be an important reason why you are here with the Night Spirit!"

"General Psimon, you're right." The sapper replied, "I'm working with the Spirit Officer to find the merfolk who have disappeared due to the war, and this is not an easy task!"

"Sapper, your radio pulse sensing ability is so strong, you must help you find a lot of missing merfolk, right?" Psimon asked, "Did the mission go well?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads. The Eidolon replied:

"Originally, it was difficult for us to detect the location of the trapped people through the sand and gravel, but the sea is so big that we can't turn over the sea for every person we find. I might as well tell you the truth, and ask you for directions by the way. Not long ago, an old man in the imperial city passed away due to old age, and before he died, he told the imperial city officials about something. said that before she died, she communicated with her pet Drum Shrimp, and the Pet Drum Shrimp told her one thing: there was a stone cave in the deep sea, and the entrance of the stone cave was blocked by a boulder. Some of the drum shrimp burrowed through the crack in the hole and found a mermaid girl sleeping inside, who needed to be rescued. ”

"Gross! Is your work going well? Psimon asked.

"It's hard to do, the old mermaid didn't know the exact location of the cave before he died, but he said it was in a place in the ruins of Lemuria. Even if you find this place, you have to spend a lot of time narrowing down your search. The eidolon asked, "Do you know where the Lemurian ruins are?"

"I've heard old men talk about this place, and from here you swim southwest, near the border of the Indian Ocean, an abandoned stone city, which is buried in the sand. The further south the Pacific Ocean becomes, the more desolate it becomes, so let the Lampeye Fish scatter out in search of suspicious Drum Shrimp, and use Drum Shrimp to find the stone cave. ”

"That's a good idea, and it's a good idea." The Night Spirit Officer agreed.

"Honestly, I have something to ask you," said Psimon, "I'm chasing a school of sharks that have intercepted the prisoners I'm going to capture, have you ever seen a school of sharks swimming south?"

"Yes, in the area of the circular valley." The sapper replied, "We were just mermaids with search and rescue functions, and we were not good at combat, so we were all hiding at that time." So, this bit of information is useful to you. ”

"Great, chasing me to the round valley will save a lot of detours. Alright, we all have urgent tasks on our hands, so let's say goodbye for now. When we see each other again, we will definitely have a few drinks! ”

The Nereon, the Grand Sapper and Psimon hastily met and parted, both for their respective missions.

The sharks' journey southward is not over, and as the sea temperature decreases little by little, everyone knows in their hearts that they are getting closer and closer to Antarctica. Get close to the desolate world of white snow and ice all year round.

Perhaps it was the so-called sixth sense that caused some kind of inexplicable anxiety in Dubin's heart. This anxiety worsens as the water temperature decreases. The two mermaids he escorted, Monster and Arcantero, were both cunning guys, could they be trusted? Do they really know the whereabouts of their daughter? Could the place they want to go have anything to do with Kiki's whereabouts......

"Buzz...... "......There was a low, heavy sound in the water, and the direction was exactly the direction they were heading. It is not difficult to tell that this sound is the sound of a small earthquake on the ocean floor.

This made Dubin's anxiety even worse, and he summoned the sharks to stop advancing. He didn't want the shark to be in danger, he had to figure out the situation before moving forward.

"What's the matter, why did you stop, Dubin!" Dongdong asked.

"Hmmm! Wait a minute. Dubin replied: "I sensed a message, I left an old swimming shark near the circular valley just now, it gave me a psychic message, and the chasing sailfish army behind has caught up." The speed is amazing! ”

"Gross! So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and move on! Dongdong Monster urged.

"I said, you'll have to let me figure out how far we have to go." Dubin's heart was full of question marks.

"Don't you believe us? I'll be sure to give you an answer when it's safe to do so. Dongdong Monster said.

"Don't argue, Dubin, don't you want to know how far you have to go?" "I'm sure you've sensed a small undersea earthquake as well, and we're going where that earthquake happened," Akentero said.

Dubin's inner anxiety still can't be calmed, the lower water temperature, the desolate Antarctica, and the unknown earthquake. All feelings are like a dangerous trap, like an ominous omen.

Although the shark colony began to move south again, it was not at the same speed as before. And those question marks still beat in Dubin's mind: why did Acantero rush to the place where there was an earthquake, and was the generation and destructive power of that earthquake beyond Acantero's control? If so, wouldn't he be very dangerous? If he really has such a powerful ability, why would he let sharks protect him now? Maybe he still hasn't gained some kind of great power now, and he won't get it until he reaches his destination. So after sending him to his destination and giving him some kind of great power, will he still keep his promise to tell his daughter's whereabouts? What leverage will there be to keep his word?

"No!" Decisively deciding to understand those doubts before proceeding, he induced the sharks to stop advancing, and grabbed Dongdong Monster's throat with one hand and asked, "I think I can do everything, you can tell me where my daughter Kiki is now?" Otherwise I won't move forward! ”

The Dongdong monster who was choked by the throat tried to struggle: "Are you crazy? Anyway, we used to be allies, and you don't trust your allies at all? ”

"I don't care, I just need to get my daughter Kiki back!"

Faced with a somewhat out-of-control Dubin, Arcantero wanted to dissuade him, but saw several great white sharks glaring at him.

"Dubin, stop." "You saved me," called out Akentero, "and if you don't hurry up and retreat, the pursuers behind you will be your enemy and will arrest you." How can you choose this critical moment to start infighting? ”

"For the sake of my daughter Kiki, I don't care who I am or against me. Tell me where she is? Otherwise, I will hand you over to the pursuers of the Imperial City. ”

Dubin felt like he was gambling, if he won, he would know his daughter's whereabouts, and if he lost, he would probably not be able to save his daughter and would be captured and imprisoned by the pursuers of the imperial city. I don't know if this approach is smart or reckless, rash or steady at this time. When the atmosphere was almost frozen, it was discovered that Psimon's Sailfish army had appeared in a faint line of sight.
