Chapter 452: The Queen of the Mermaid (2-in-1)
These notes come from a merman master named "Quanxian", and although he left a small record, they vividly show the struggle, madness, and despair of the merman clan who have been trapped here for decades......
"For decades, watching the food gradually run out, this desperation, this desperation......" Baoguan listened to what Zhao Chen recited, and felt inexplicably sad for those mermaids.
- Since she was rescued by her brother and returned to her normal "life", her feelings have become richer and richer, and she is no different from a normal person.
"This kind of despair is similar to your 'son of atonement,' right?
"The 'son of atonement' also waited until he reached adulthood and was then killed...... No, they are probably more desperate than the 'sons of atonement,' for you were not taught this kind of affection in the first place. Zhao Chen sighed, somewhat understanding what the "alternative grievances" that "Quan Xian" said at the end meant.
"No...... I don't know about anyone else, but my brother used to teach me things secretly, so I already knew what 'atonement' meant...... I was actually very scared and resentful that day, but I didn't know how to express it at the time. Crown shook her head and pursed her lips.
"It's true, the real 'son of atonement' actually doesn't have much resentment, so the imperial court let the rise of the two sects of the left path, and let Yi Lingxiao and Yi Shan make sneaky little moves against the 'son of atonement'...... Because the Empress Dowager needs an introduction, a trigger that ignites the resentment in the souls of the rest of the 'sons of atonement'.
"It seems that this plan to pollute the 'cave' may have started more than 100 years ago, much earlier than I thought......
"Letting the three real people seize the origin of the 'Cave Heaven' and escape to Xuantian is probably part of the plan, in order to make the 'Cave Heaven' continue to weaken and lose the ability to resist 'pollution'.
"In that case, the 'Doom God' Song Wurui would not have been the original mastermind...... So he just helped to improve it, and by the way, he arranged his own back hand? ”
Zhao Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a few words of silence to himself, he turned his attention to the last few pages of the note.
See...... What did the merman monk see?
The phrase "Queen", is it a mouth fetish, or did he really see the queen again?
Well, he didn't have this kind of mouth fetish in his previous notes, that is, at the moment when his life was about to come to an end, he really saw the merman queen?
The queen came out of the so-called "hollow"?
Or is it that the queen has long since turned into a monster...... Became an accomplice behind the scenes?
Because there were not many clues, Zhao Chen couldn't speculate too much about the content, so he gathered his thoughts and took the treasure crown to inspect the house where the merman powerhouse lived before his death.
But after some searching, he found only two things of slight value.
One is the "shark pearl", the so-called "sea moon pearl has tears", this thing is rumored to be the merman when the tears when they are sad, not only the shape is exquisite, round and full, but also has the effect of storing pure true yuan.
For example, the one in Zhao Chen's hand should be the tears shed by the merman master named "Quan Xian" before he died, which contained most of his mana true yuan, and it was extremely pure, and it could be directly used by mana cultivators for cultivation.
Zhao Chen estimated that if she gave it to Sister Hongxia, she would be able to improve her cultivation by at least one turn.
The other is the "shark powder", Zhao Chen didn't recognize it, but he was recognized by the "Xingcha", only then did he know that it was transformed by the corpse of the shark after death, and handed it over to the pharmacist to refine the corresponding medicine, which has an aphrodisiac effect and can make people not fall down......
After putting these two things away, Zhao Chen also had a new judgment in his heart, that is, after the death of this "Quanxian", someone must have entered the country of mermaids.
Otherwise, such a powerful merman monk who lived to the end would not have left even a magic weapon behind.
Someone must have cleaned up the battlefield!
"Could it be the Shark Queen? But why didn't she take the shark beads and shark powder from Quanxian?
"Can't look down on it, or is it simply unwilling to touch the legacy of the same clan?"
While his thoughts were turning, Zhao Chen was about to go to the backyard of this crystal palace-like house to check, but the little girl with the crown pulled him and said, "Childe, childe, look! ”
Zhao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and then looked in the direction pointed by the crown suspiciously, but saw a crystal wall with many lines depicted, and there was a faint dent on the wall.
This dent takes the shape of a "ring", but it is hidden in the surrounding lines, and it is impossible to see it without looking closely.
Even if Zhao Chen's "spiritual sense" is swept to it now, he will still ignore it.
And the shape of the "ring", the more Zhao Chen looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he quickly recalled: "Isn't this the style of the 'Holy Spirit Ring' I got in the Holy Spirit Sect?"
"I remember Chu Yue Zhenren said that the 'Holy Spirit Ring' is an imitation of the 'Divine Power Weapon' that was destroyed by the Cloud Bone Zhenren......
"Could it be that the original version of the ring is from the merman clan?
"Well...... 'Holy Ring' can be transformed into the image of a person who is known and worshipped by many people.
"The more people they follow, the more they become.
"The original can even conjure breath and life...... Then, if the person who holds this vow becomes someone else, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recognize it even in front of the real person.
"Does the Cloud Bone True Person have anything to do with this merman clan?"
Zhao Chen suddenly had some bold guesses, but because of the lack of necessary evidence, he turned around in his mind and threw them aside.
He thought for a moment and took out the Holy Spirit Ring from the storage bag.
After taking enough protection, he took a deep breath and placed the ring in the "dent", intending to test if the imitation worked.
Soon, the "Holy Spirit Ring" was embedded in the dent seamlessly.
Immediately after, a violent shaking sensation came, and a small slit two fingers wide slowly opened on the crystal floor.
But at this time, the "Holy Spirit Ring" in the dent suddenly shattered as if it couldn't withstand some kind of pressure, and the opening of the crystal floor also came to an abrupt end.
"It seems that although the imitation has some characteristics of the ontology, the fake is the fake!" Although he said this, Zhao Chen's face did not have much disappointment, after all, the crystal floor had already opened two fingers, and he quickly used the magic weapon to support the opening, so that it could not close on its own.
Of course, the magic weapon he used to support his mouth was not the "invisible demon soldier", but the illusion magic weapon "Ice Wheel Sword", one of the "Qionghua Nine Swords", which he had obtained from Mrs. Mu Ying as early as when he ambushed the "weird" Miss Shen.
Since he only kept this magic weapon on his behalf, he was going to bring it back to the Qionghua faction after all, and this sword did not have any reaction to his "Five Immortals Spiritual True Qi", so Zhao Chen couldn't use it at all, and could only use its special material to complete some simple but necessary work.
For example, the "brace" at this time...... Changing to an ordinary magic weapon, I am afraid that it has already been crushed by the power of the closure, but this beautiful long sword is unscathed.
There was no time to regret the broken "Holy Spirit Ring", Zhao Chen immediately exchanged the "Wang Dao One" from the "Xingcha", and let him transform into a divine wind and fly in along the gap two fingers wide.
Two seconds later, Zhao Chen ended the summoning and saw the scene in the gap from Wang Daoyi's memory:
It was a huge hollow, deep and dark!
Underwater Cavities...... That's the so-called undersea cavern mentioned in the notes of "Quanxian"?!
"Quanxian" died in this room, he saw someone come out of the hole, so what did he realize?
Perhaps, it is not an accident that this cave world has established a connection with a certain evil god...... Shark Queen......
Zhao Chen's brain teaser suddenly sent the "Ice Wheel Sword" into the void, causing the crystal floor to close.
Then, he sent a message to Yin Zimo and Kong Lin through the "Great Sun Star Cha", asking them to collect some valuable things, and then come to meet him, and there is no need to find the whereabouts of the "Black Sun Demon Crown".
Because he already knows where that thing is.
It's in the "hollow" under your feet!
……
Zhongzhou Mansion, Li Jing.
With the help of Chu Yue Zhenren, the "Sword Saint Maiden" Zhao Lingqing held a supernatural flying sword and directly pierced through the huge toad-like monster that was bound by the "Demon King's Body" supernatural power.
"Sect Master, please rest in peace!" Zhao Ling silently recited a sentence, and then spurted out a mouthful of essence blood, allowing the power of the Divine Power Flying Sword to explode with all its might.
Rumble!
The huge body of the toad monster exploded instantly, and the "Yin Demon Sword" turned into countless sword lights, strangling every piece of its flesh and blood.
In a moment, when the sword light in the sky disappeared, the "blood rain" in the capital finally stopped.
"Well done." An old voice came, it was Chu Yue, who had turned into an old woman.
Zhao Ling was not very interested, and sighed and said, "The sect master was actually very good to me at the beginning...... It's a pity ......"
"This kid is still sentimental...... Oh, you have to remember, don't look at us in the cave heaven to call ourselves 'authentic', but outside the cave sky, we are the real demon sect!
"Don't really think of yourself as a 'saint'!
"The Demon Sect has always acted with interests first!" Chu Yue smiled coldly and admonished.
Zhao Ling had been told some of the things about Daxia during this time, and he had a more or less understanding of Xuantian, so although he didn't agree with it in his heart, he still nodded yes on the surface.
Chu Zhenren couldn't see her thoughts, so he shook his head lightly, feeling that the sect had educated these disciples too "well", and it was indeed too dangerous to go out of the cave like this, and it was easy to have problems......
It seems that Chen Gongzi's decision to only take trusted people out for the time being should also have this consideration...... He's right.
……
In the imperial mausoleum, the girl carved in pink has returned to the "Seven Star Map" again, and she was pouring essence and blood into the stars in the picture, she suddenly paused, turned her head to look east, hooked the corners of her mouth and said to herself:
"Another hidden danger has been killed! Yes, yes!
"Now, even the 'Lord' can no longer force me to do what I don't want to do!
"Chu Yue can be regarded as a good deed."
As soon as she said this, her face changed, and then she took a short step and ran to the "Resentment Pool" at a very fast speed, looking at the "Cloud Golden Crow Crown" revealed by the sharp decrease in "resentment", as well as the bottomless huge void next to it.
She didn't look at the former, all her attention was put on the "hollow", and after a long time, she bit her lip and said, "Sure enough, someone entered the 'Shark Country', and also touched the 'passage'!" ”
As she spoke, the girl's face changed back and forth, but in the end, she sighed helplessly, and said to herself: "I can't leave the Imperial Tomb now, and there is a high probability that it will be Zhao Chen over there, even if I go over, I am afraid I won't be able to beat the 'Taishi Heavenly Demon Qin'......"
But soon, her spirit lifted again, raised her delicate eyebrows, and thought to herself: "But what I planned before, taking advantage of Zhao Chen's good fishing characteristics, the plan to get rid of him first may be implemented!" ”
Thinking of this, she nervously "clucked" again.
……
The land of the mermaids, inside the crystal house on the "hollow".
Zhao Chen looked at Kong Lin and Yin Zimo, who came to meet, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Because the two of them found almost nothing of value, they only brought back a few pages of notes or suicide notes left by the merman residents, and a large box of "shark powder".
By selling this, I'm afraid I can make a lot of money! Glancing at the box of "shark powder", Zhao Chen complained in his heart, and on the surface, he picked up those notes and suicide notes and read them carefully.
The contents of the notes and suicide note are similar to those of "Quanxian", except that the person who left the note was not as strong as "Quanxian", and he could not hold on in the early days of the conflict.
And the only thing that is valuable and noteworthy is a last word:
"My spirit is about to return to the Fuso Wood of the East Sea, and I have no regrets in this life, but please bless my children with the Lord of the Great Fuso Wood, and may they persevere until the return of the Queen......"
East China Sea Fuso Wood ...... Is this country of mermaids actually believing in the so-called "Lord of Fuso Wood"?
Zhao Chen's face was solemn, because he clearly remembered that when he turned into a Xuantan Daoist, he mentioned the existence of a book called "Fusang Fallen Divine Tree" in a book called "The Origin of the Moon Worship Cult" translated in the Drizzle Building, and the author of that book guessed that it was the source of the "Black Sun".
Although the author who called himself the "Guardian of the Moon" Ferrian was a coward, and he didn't dare to enter the "Xingcha" and "Demon Sealing Zhubi", Zhao Chen was still convinced by his knowledge.
East China Sea Fuso Wood ...... Fuso Fallen Sacred Wood ...... Although these two titles are not exactly the same, if you want to say that the two have nothing to do with each other, Zhao Chen does not believe it.
In desperation, the mermaid queen broke into the hollow of the seabed......
"Is it really desperate, or is she no longer her?!
"The original version of the 'Holy Ring'...... Since it can allow the person who wears it to have the qi and destiny of the person who has changed......
"So, will the mermaid queen play the so-called 'lord of Fuso wood' when she wears it?
"She's the heart of the ritual, the origin of all conspiracies?
"Also, the 'Black Sun Crown'...... Unlike the 'Golden Crow Divine Crown' and the 'Cloud Treasure Crown', since the 'Black Sun Demon Crown' has the name of 'Black Sun', I am afraid it is also related to it. ”
