Early the next morning, Ye Xiaochen and Xiaoya got up early, and after going through the formalities with the waiter at the front desk of the hotel, they immediately left the seaside hotel.

"Where are we going next?" Xiaoya asked.

Ye Xiaochen: "Go back to the capital." ”

"Isn't it too early to go back now?"

Ye Xiaochen shook his head and said, "In the battle between me and the shadow last night, someone came to his rescue. That means that the 'undead' group has already set their sights on us, and yesterday they could come to us to settle accounts with us because of the merman's affairs, and today they can still take advantage of our lack of attention. I'm only narrowly out against the Phantom, and if I encounter this situation next time, I can't really say whether I will win or lose. If you don't leave, do you want to be counted by them again? ”

Xiao Ya's expression suddenly became solemn, although there were some unpleasant episodes, she still wanted to play for a few days and then go back. As soon as Ye Xiaochen said this, she could only put her heart away. No one wants to put themselves in danger because of playfulness.

After breakfast, the two of them immediately took a taxi to the airport and took a plane back to the capital.

By the time the two men returned to the capital, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Xiaochen had called Wuying before getting on the plane, and the latter said that he had prepared lunch, and the two of them just needed to come back directly. When Ye Xiaochen and Xiaoya returned to the villa, Wuying had just heated all the dishes, and the hungry Xiaoya couldn't help it, so she rushed directly to the dinner table and ate without grace.

Wuying and Ye Xiaochen could only smile bitterly when they saw this, no matter how she looked at it, this girl looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, as long as she saw the food, she couldn't help it, whether it was a snack or a cooked food or a snack. If it weren't for Wuying making enough dishes, it would probably not be enough for her to stuff her teeth. And after eating so many dishes, her stomach didn't have a trace of bulge, and it looked no different from before eating, I really don't know what kind of special physique she is.

In comparison, Ye Xiaochen eats relatively quietly, basically chewing slowly alone, but he is obviously a little absent-minded when eating.

"What's the matter, boy, you seem to have something on your mind." Shadowless said.

Ye Xiaochen put down his chopsticks and said, "Xiaoya and I did encounter something on the way to travel. ”

"After eating, you two will come directly to my room, and I happen to have something to tell you."

After saying this, Wuying directly put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked to his bedroom.

Seeing this, the two quickly settled their lunch and put all the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher. After all this, they went to the shadowless room together.

"Find a seat and sit down." Shadowless pointed to the two chairs in the corner, "I know, you two have a lot of questions about this trip, except for some secrets that I can't let you know now, I can tell you the rest, just ask whatever you want." ”

After the two of them sat down, Ye Xiaochen said directly to the point: "Originally, I just wanted to take Xiaoya out for a trip to relax, but I ran into an undead person inexplicably, and it was one or two soul eaters. I've wanted to ask you about them for a long time, how much do you really know about them? ”

Wuying seemed to have expected Ye Xiaochen to ask this question at the beginning, and said, "There is something I can tell you clearly, and that is that I did have the experience of fighting them more than two hundred years ago. At that time, I teamed up with Yang Mo and the rest of my companions to defeat them completely, but in the end, I let them run away. Even so, we have severely damaged the leader, and the undead have been silent for more than two hundred years. The fall of the Eight Great Soul Eaters and the countless casualties of the members can be described as a great injury to their vitality. As for the rest, it depends on what you want to know. ”

Ye Xiaochen asked: "Their leader, is the code name 'Langya'?" ”

Shadowless raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?" ”

"The Soul Eater called Shadow told me personally, and we fought, and then we didn't say anything." Ye Xiaochen replied, "How does this leader's strength compare to you?" ”

Wuying said: "More than two hundred years ago, my strength was already above him, and he was seriously injured at that time, if it wasn't for the help of special treasures, it would be impossible for him to recover without two hundred years. Even if he had, he would not be my match even now. ”

Hearing Wuying's personal admission, Ye Xiaochen relieved himself and asked, "Then are you also a member of the Spirit Master?" ”

"Well, I can only say that it used to be." Shadowless's answer was ambiguous, "After all, after resolving that catastrophe more than two hundred years ago, I immediately quit the organization. Strictly speaking, I'm no longer a full member of the organization. However, your employer's father, Yang Mo, has often contacted me until now. ”

Ye Xiaochen nodded slightly, he probably guessed this, he could have such a good relationship with Yang Mo, he was definitely a high-level figure of the Spirit Master before. Although he has withdrawn now, his strength is still online.

Shadowless: "Is there no problem?" Your journey isn't going to be as simple as fighting the Soul Eater, is it? ”

Ye Xiaochen thought for a while, and then asked: "Actually, I always wanted to ask when I read the book before, that is, do those legendary creatures recorded in the book really exist in this world?" ”

Wuying looked at him with some puzzlement: "What exactly do you want to ask?" ”

"Sharks." Ye Xiaochen said, "In that fishing village in Donghai City, Xiaoya and I saw a merman coming out of the sea, and her appearance was exactly the same as the appearance of the merman recorded in the library. But there is one thing, she has the ability to manipulate water, which is not recorded in the book. So on this sort of topic, I'd like to talk to you about that. ”

Wuying was silent for a while, and then said: "In the history of the world, there are many news of catching mermaid corpses and even mermaid corpses, which I believe you should have seen. However, what they caught was only one or several of the many mermaids. The merman you see, in fact, I have seen it before. ”

Ye Xiaochen was stunned: "Are there still different types of mermaids?" ”

"Of course, just as humans are divided into several colored people, there are several different races of mermaids. In addition to their different appearances, their abilities and habits are also different. In ancient times, the reason why people would hunt and kill sharks on a large scale was because an extremely precious essential oil could be extracted from sharks. Legend has it that this essential oil can burn for thousands of years with just one drop, and is still very valuable. Also, it is to extract a kind of Neidan from the merman, and it is said that those who eat Neidan will gain extraordinary power and even immortality. So far, however, there is no actual evidence of this. The mermaids you see are probably the most special kind. ”

Xiaoya asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Originally, I didn't know what kind of merman you saw, but when I heard Xiaochen say that she has the ability to manipulate water, I knew immediately." Shadowless said, "The mermaids you met were not originally inhabitants of this earth. ”

Ye Xiaochen's eyes showed surprise.

"Don't be so surprised, Yang Lihuan's girl should have already told you about their origins." "You should also know that the Earth and the other planet have many space nodes, and these space nodes can be said to be the passage connecting the two planets. However, these channels require some special conditions to be opened. In the northern part of the planet is the area ruled by the sharks. Before the fall of Atlantis, they had already come to Earth through special space passages, and through their union with humans, they gave birth to different racial offspring, which has survived to this day. ”

Ye Xiaochen: "You mean, they don't actually belong to this world, but come from an alien planet, right?" ”

"That's right, they're from the Anomalous Planet. The northern part of that planet is an endless ocean. The race that rules there is called mermaid or mermaid as the Chinese call it. They are the descendants of the god of the sea, born with the ability to control water, and their rulers have the power to control the sea. "It's just that since a long time ago, she has ordered her descendants to avoid any more contact with humans and return to the star as quickly as possible. In the process, some mermaids accidentally fell behind, and the space node was completely shut down, resulting in them being unable to leave the earth. This part of the mermaids, by combining with each other and quickly adapting to the earth's marine environment, eventually survived. ”

"I see." Xiao Ya nodded thoughtfully, "So they're also elves living in the Alien Star?" ”

Shadowless nodded and said, "You're right, they are indeed elves, but they are a little different from what you think. I have some friendship with their patriarch. It's just that she has a somewhat stubborn personality and basically doesn't want to trust any human beings. Perhaps it was the greed and cruelty of human beings that made her have a bad impression of human beings. If I were a human, I am afraid I would have died at her hands long ago. ”

Ye Xiaochen: "What about later?" ”

"It doesn't matter what happened next, it's just some old things that can't be looked back on." Wuying seems to deliberately avoid this topic, "In fact, it's not just sharks, those things in this world that seem to only appear in mythology, in fact, only a small part of them are fictional, and most of them are real. It's just that they are all hidden in some corner of the world, or they are sleeping, and humans have not discovered them. ”
