It was obviously impossible for them not to know this, but they did it anyway, apparently because they had no other choice.

It's night, it's the best time for dark creatures to act, and the merfolk simply can't have the upper hand at their advantageous time, not to mention that the pollution of the dark creatures itself is natural to the merfolk clan.

Therefore, the range of activities of the merfolk is gradually shrinking, because the dark creatures and the fishmen feel that they dare not act easily, so they are gradually compressing the activity space of the mermaids.

When the merfolk retreated, they advanced, and although the speed was very slow, the change was real.

All creatures know that as long as they wait for the merfolk to retreat, then they are considered to be on a dead end.

At this time, in the main hall of the palace, almost all the merfolk felt very desperate, because they all knew that the situation of the merfolk was not very good at this time.

They thought back to the sacrifice ceremony that could not be successfully held, and they all thought about a problem...... Is it because the failure of the sacrificial ceremony angered the sea god, so the sea god will punish them, and they will suffer this?

Or maybe the sea god has already been dissatisfied with them, so their sacrifice yesterday will fail.

But no matter which one is possible, the final result is the same, that is, the sea god is disgusted with them.

Faithful believers are forsaken by God, which is the last thing that all merfolk can accept!

Several elders watched the momentum of the clansmen gradually decline, but they couldn't do anything, because they all knew that if they just couldn't defeat the enemy, then everyone would be far from like this, and they couldn't accept it the most or be abandoned by the sea god......

After resting, the Great Elder finally recovered and watched the originally prosperous mermaid clan become like this, and his heart became more and more silent.

Originally, he was a dignified and dignified elder, although everyone was afraid of him and feared him, but they also respected him.

But now he looked like a silent loner, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one could know anything from his mouth.

The five elders on the side couldn't help frowning when they looked at this scene, she seemed to want to say something, but she heard someone shouting to herself, and when she looked back, the person who called her was the fourth princess.

"Fifth Elder, do you know where Xiaoya is? I searched everywhere and didn't see her! The fourth princess didn't know that Luya followed Su Yu to the forbidden land, so when she almost rummaged through the entire mermaid clan and still didn't find Luya's whereabouts, it was absolutely impossible to say that she wasn't worried.

She was so worried that she wanted to leave the protective circle immediately and rummage through the entire merfolk again.

But when she was about to do this, she was stopped by the third princess, and the third princess asked her to ask the fifth elder first, so she came.

"The sixth princess is safe, and the fourth princess doesn't have to worry." The Fifth Elder glanced back when she said this, and it was this glance that made her see that the Great Elder who was supposed to be sitting behind her had actually disappeared.

The Fifth Elder sat up suddenly, and the Fourth Princess was startled by her moment, and then hurriedly asked, "Fifth Elder, has something happened?" Is something happening to Xiaoya? ”

The fifth elder took a few seconds to calm down, and then replied, "No, no, Xiaoya, she is by that human's side, and that human will protect her." ”

The fourth princess frowned slightly, and it didn't seem to understand the trust of the fifth elder very much.

However, since the five elders said so, she was embarrassed to refute, and she had to admit that those humans were indeed powerful, at least they were all rescued, otherwise she, the third princess and the fifth prince would not know what the fate would be now.

After knowing that Luya should be in no danger, the fourth princess was very concerned about the reaction of the fifth elder just now, she saw that after the fifth elder said that sentence to herself, she hurriedly turned around and walked away, and after hesitating, she also followed.

As she got closer, she heard the Fifth Elder's anxious voice.

"Are you sure you didn't see where the Great Elder went?" The Fifth Elder never thought that he would only turn around, and the Great Elder would disappear.

The most terrifying thing was that she asked several mermaids here, and they didn't even know where the Great Elder had gone.

It's like the whole person has evaporated out of thin air!

"I'm sorry, Fifth Elder, we are derelict in our duties, we really don't know where the Great Elder has gone." The mermaid guard who was questioned lowered his head in shame, not daring to look directly at the five elders.

"It's not your problem, if he really deliberately wants to avoid you, you really can't find out......" After the impulsive anxiety, the fifth elder calmed down, and she clearly knew that this was not the problem of the mermaids in front of her.

Although it is true that the Great Elder's current state is not very good, it is more than enough to fool these mermaid guards.

"Fifth Elder, is the Great Elder missing?" The fourth princess didn't care to think about the good or bad of her behavior just now, she walked directly to the side of the fifth elder to inquire about the situation.

The Fifth Elder obviously didn't care, she nodded with a heavy face: "I just kept finding out that the Great Elder was wrong, so I kept staring at him here, but I didn't expect to let him run away." ”

As for what the Great Elder had run to do, the specific Fifth Elder didn't know, but she could guess a little......

……

……

At this moment, on the altar prepared by the mermaid clan for the sacrificial ceremony, the great elder who disappeared without the five elders paying attention appeared here.

He knelt reverently on the altar, and his mouth kept spitting out words that were close to confession.

"It's me who is stubborn and inflexible, forcing your favorite child to do things against your will......"

"It's my deaf and blind and mistaken for the right king, who knows the truth of everything, but chooses to hide it for the sake of his obsession, and finally lets an inactive person lead the mermaid clan step by step to the end......"

……

"The god of the sea is above...... It's all my fault, please leave Pavik alone. ”

Pavik is the name of the Great Elder.

Ever since he became the Great Elder, his name seemed to have changed to 'Great Elder', and even the Mermaid King, who had the highest status in the Mermaid Clan, had to respect him for three points, and no one had ever dared to call him by his name.

But in front of the god of the sea, he is just a believer who has made mistakes.

What Great Elder?

He's just Pavik!

I don't know how long he knelt in front of the altar and confessed, and the originally quiet surroundings gradually began to stir.

If there is a second person at the scene at this time, then it will be found that at some point, the fish man and the dark creatures have actually surrounded the altar.

And the Great Elder in the middle of the altar is simply equivalent to a turtle in an urn!
