Under the polar night, the waves gradually subsided, and the Pearl moved slowly.

It had been a day and a night since they first boarded the ship, and although the group was not dangerous along the way, they had encountered many sea creatures that were also infected.

The self-driving Pearl seemed to have a purpose, and led them straight to the north of the sea.

It wasn't until it came across a triangular area of three small islands that the Pearl gradually stopped.

"It's time to get to your destination." Ye Yinyin's voice sounded in the air.

Lu Siheng stood on the deck, pointed to a certain place with a telescope and said, "Captain, there seems to be a person in front." ”

Su Yan followed his gaze.

On the edge of a gloomy reef, an old man in a cloak and a fisherman's hat is paddling the oars in his hand, wandering back and forth on a wooden boat.

"It should be NPCs." Cheng Cheng said on the side.

"Go over and ask, and you might be able to get some clues." Su Yan set off to get off the boat.

The group leaned the Pearl to the shore, found a small boat from the cabin, and rowed it quickly.

The boat of the crowd approached the old boatman, and Su Yan politely asked, "Old boatman, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

The old boatman kept rowing the boat in his hand, raised his wrinkled eyelids, and said in a voice accompanied by a few coughs, "Young man, you should not come here. ”

"Why?"

"This is the cursed triangle of the North Sea, all the ships that have come here have disappeared inexplicably, and no one can come out alive," the old boatman's mechanical words seemed to be a programme.

"Cursed Triangle? Doesn't sound very auspicious. Lu Siheng shuddered his shoulders.

"Then why are you here, aren't you afraid?" Su Yan continued to ask.

"I've lived on that island for more than a decade, and I've never set foot in the true cursed zone, so I advise you to get rid of the ship as soon as possible." The old boatman waved his hand at the crowd.

Su Yan didn't leave in a hurry.

There must be something wrong here, and the Pearl automatically brought them here to explain what clues must be hidden in this area to solve the mystery of the strange creatures.

"Old boatman, have you ever heard of strange creatures?" Su Yan continued to inquire about the news.

"Strange creatures? Unheard. The old boatman shook his head.

"Really? We had sailed from the southern seas, where the creatures seemed to have been infected by something strange, covered in black spots, and had a human face, which looked terrifying. Cheng Cheng added on the side.

"I advise you to stop it as soon as possible, that thing can only infect creatures living at the bottom of the sea, not humans. You'd better leave this alone. There was a strange look in the old boatman's eyes, and his gaze was a little evasive, as if he knew something.

"Old boatman, we are here to solve this matter, and all the consequences will be borne by ourselves, so you can tell us everything you know." Su Yan's serious tone.

When the old boatman saw that these young men were so stubborn, he said helplessly: "That's it, then let it go." ”

"Actually, the creature you are describing is not a strange creature, but a curse."

"Curse?!" Lu Siheng suddenly shouted.

Ye Yinyin glanced at him with strange eyes,

The crowd continued to listen to the old boatman's story.

"This curse, once every thousand years, the creatures at the bottom of the sea will grow black spots and a human face for no reason. It's the same as you described. The old boatman simply sat down on the boat and began to tell the story to the people.

"Where did this curse come from?" Cheng Cheng asked.

"It's a long story." The old boatman's tone was a little mysterious, "In short, it's a story with twists and turns"

The old boatman's slightly old voice told the story very smoothly, and everyone gathered around the boat to listen quietly

"This pirate is really not human! deceived the heart of the beautiful merman, and there was no explanation! After listening to the old boatman tell this story, Lu Siheng suddenly burst into flames and fought for the protagonist of the story.

"And then, the pirate never came back?" Ye Yinyin asked the old boatman.

"Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years. The mermaid princess herself forgot how long she had waited, and the man never returned. The old boatman sighed.

"It's just to get some trident, what is this trident, it's worth his trouble to deceive the merman's feelings." Ye Yinyin also spoke with a little emotion.

"The trident is called Frost, and now I don't know where it is." The old boatman said.

Su Yan raised her eyebrows, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Frost?

Isn't this the trident that Linglong gave her?

"Look, old boatman, this is the trident you spoke of?" Su Yan summoned the trident.

The old boatman glanced casually at his hat, then shook his head and blurted out, "No, no." ”

"That"

Before Su Yan finished speaking, the old boatman suddenly approached his eyes and looked at it carefully, "Wait, this is it!" It is this trident, and the body of the halberd is engraved with an auspicious cloud-style ocean totem. Little girl, how did this trident end up in your hands? ”

Su Yan didn't know where to start, so she said vaguely: "It was also obtained by chance." ”

"That's really fate, Captain Suvi has been dead for many years, and after he died, the whereabouts of the Trident disappeared with him." The boatman sighed.

Su Yan nodded.

The real owner of this trident is the merman clan, and it does not belong to Captain Suwei in the first place. The spirit weapon has always recognized the master, and after Su Wei's death, for thousands of years, the trident has returned to the merman clan, and now it is in Su Yan's hands.

"So, the source of the curse is the hatred of the female mermaid?" Ye Yinyin repeated what the old captain said.

The old captain nodded, "Yes, according to rumors, after the death of the mermaid princess, the soul has not been transformed into the soul river, and has drifted on the endless ocean with hatred for Captain Suvi, so a curse has been formed, and the curse will drive the creatures in the ocean to attack the ships in a parasitic way." ”

"So, gradually, there are very few human ships at sea."

"Especially in the Cursed Triangle, none of the ships that stepped into the cursed area were spared, and the death was quite tragic, are you sure you want to go in?"

"Sure." Su Yan did not hesitate, "Please ask the old boatman to tell us how to break this curse and liberate those innocent sea creatures and innocent humans as soon as possible." ”

Everyone agreed.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that the people and stories in this secret realm were fake, they were still immersed in it.
