"Four Elders...... No, it's not good! A mermaid stumbled in their direction, and the guards around the four elders immediately stopped the mermaid, and before the four elders could ask, the mermaid suddenly covered his chest, his eyes widened, and he fell straight to the ground.

"The four elders...... We didn't do anything! The guard who had stopped the man explained in a panic that he wanted to check on the mermaid, but was afraid to act because of what had just happened.

The fourth elder naturally knew that he hadn't done anything, but he was obviously more concerned about the mermaid in front of him, so he didn't bother to comfort him, just waved his hand, and then squatted down......

"......" The four elders withdrew their hands, and their bodies were as cold as if they were standing in the cold winter of heavy snow.

He wanted to speak, but he lost his voice, because he never thought that there would be a mermaid who would suddenly die in front of him in such a way...... That's right, this mermaid, dead.

“…… Take him with you, and you'll send him later...... No, don't be in a hurry yet, and when the fish-man's matter is resolved, we'll send him back to the forbidden land to rest. The four elders reached out and closed the eyes of the dead mermaid, and there was a slight tremor in their tones.

The four elders are also mermaids who have lived for more than a hundred years, and he has experienced the battle of a large number of mermaids, but at that time, he was far less afraid than at this time...... Yes, that's right, the Fourth Elder was now suddenly in a mood called fear.

Because at that time, he at least knew that his people had died to protect the merfolk, and they had died at the hands of the enemy.

But today is different, this mermaid walked inexplicably, obviously one second ago he was still stumbling towards them, he was still shouting loudly, shouting loudly for help, but the next second, he lost his life directly.

This kind of thing must be a great stimulus no matter who it happens to, after all, any creature will be afraid of the unknown, and the Four Elders are no exception.

"Fourth Elder, where are we going next......" The guards beside him carefully lifted the clansman who had lost his breath, and his tone was heavy and slow.

"Go to the Great Elder, you must tell the Great Elder about this!" The four elders gritted their teeth and said this, and did not change their actions because of the appearance of this mermaid.

The more he encounters this special thing, the more he can't panic, and he can't hide it from telling it, which will only make more mermaids suffer.

So the four elders continued to return with their people, this time they didn't encounter anything else along the way, but because of this, they saw the palace on the other side that they couldn't usually see at all...... Dead silence, like an empty city.

By the time the Fourth Elder found the Great Elder, the situation here was not very good, and the Fourth Elder didn't know why he had only left for a short time, and the situation outside had already evolved to this extent, but he hadn't forgotten to tell the Great Elder about the dead mermaid.

"Where's that merfolk! Brought ...... No, take me to see it! After hearing this, the Great Elder's emotions were even more excited than the Fourth Elder had imagined.

Faced with such a Great Elder, the Fourth Elder naturally didn't have time to ask anything, so he could only take the Great Elder to find the mermaid's corpse first.

The first time he saw the corpse, the Great Elder's eyes instantly turned red, and he strode to the side and squatted down: "Except for the four elders, the other mermaids have left." ”

The other mermaids obediently left, leaving only the four elders alone and the mermaids alone.

However, his dazedness was soon frightened by the Great Elder's next move—the Great Elder actually cut open the dead mermaid's chest in front of him!

Even though the Fourth Elder guessed that he must have had his own reasons for doing this, he was startled and tried to stop it, only to stop again when he saw what the Great Elder had dug out of the mermaid's chest.

“…… Hahaha! This is the merfolk who are going to die in heaven! Seeing the black mass on his hands, the Great Elder suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, at this time, he was not as serious and dignified as before, and some were just as crazy as mad demons.

"Great Elder, this ......"

"It's all retribution! It's the retribution of the merfolk clan! It's also my ......" the Great Elder muttered to himself, the black thing in his hand seemed to be still wriggling, the Great Elder glanced at it, closed his eyes, and crushed the thing in his hand ruthlessly.

As the black unidentified object disappeared from his hand, the corpse of the merfolk on the ground disappeared with it.

The four elders watched this scene blankly, and the huge amount of information was desperately output in his mind......

Although he didn't know what the black thing was, he knew that after the mermaid died, the body would not disappear, and only when the shark bead was dug up, the body without energy support would gradually dissipate.

So, could that black thing just now be this mermaid's shark bead?!

The Four Elders obviously couldn't believe it, but it was clear that this was the reality.

"Great Elder......" The fourth elder shouted in a dumb voice, but after the three words came out, he found that he couldn't make a sound, he paused, calmed down for a while, and then spit out the unfinished words: "Great Elder, no matter what happens, the merfolk are fine now, you have to cheer up, the merfolk need you." ”

The Merfolk Clan did need the Great Elder, and although what he said just now made the Fourth Elder understand that the Great Elder might have done something wrong in the past, it was all in the past.

What's more, what the Great Elder did wasn't necessarily wrong, after all, the merfolk clan had always been good before.

Even this time, it was because of the attack of the fishmen that the mermaids died, and it had nothing to do with the Great Elder!

"......" The Great Elder cleaned up the remaining black debris on his hands with a calm face, and then returned to his usual appearance, and went out with the four elders to resist the attack of the fishmen.

As I said before, during the time when the four elders left, the situation on the mermaid clan's side was not good, this was because they found that the merfolk actually dared to cooperate with the creatures of the abyss in order to attack the merfolk clan!

The abyss, where is the lair of dark creatures, is the root of all darkness, it is the public enemy of almost the entire continent, so no one thought that the fish-people would actually release the creatures in the abyss for their own selfish desires......

Originally, the strength of the merfolk was indeed inferior to theirs, but now with the addition of the abyssal creatures, even if the merfolk fought hard, they were only evenly matched...... And even that's just for the better.

Because dark creatures don't hurt or get tired, but merfolk do.
