"Smack!"

I don't know how much time has passed, but with a down-to-earth sound, Su You and the three finally landed.

Hurriedly used his spiritual power to illuminate in front of him, and then Su You saw Qingli trembling and curled up in a corner in front of him sobbing softly, but the tears in the corners of his eyes did not fall.

Looking up again, he looked up at the hole above his head that seemed to be covered by huge corals and turned black, and then saw that Qingli was not injured by this, but the clothes on his body were a little dirty, Su You immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's it going, are you alright?"

Su You walked up to Qingli, and just finished speaking.

"Woo woo..."

Qingli jumped up and hugged Su You as if she was holding a life-saving straw, burying her whole face in Su You's chest, and at the same time kept sobbing and crying: "Childe, I'm so scared... I just saw a lot of ... Wow! ”

Qingli, who really couldn't hold back her emotions, immediately cried bitterly in Su You's arms.

And at this very moment.

Jiang Nu'er suddenly spoke: "Su You, Miss Qi, come and see what I found." ”

Hearing that Jiang Nu'er had made a discovery, and then in connection with Qingli's performance at this time, Su You, who had already guessed in his heart, comforted Qingli, "If what you see is the same thing as I guessed, then you must try to get used to it, because many things have happened, and you have promised to become strong and become a strong person, if you can't even bear this bit of grief, how can you become a strong person?" Let's go, let's go over there and maybe find some important clues. ”

"Hmmm... Li'er got it. Hearing this, Qingli stopped her tears, wiped her somewhat red and swollen eyes, and then let go of the hand holding Su You, and followed Su You towards Jiang Nu'er.

When he walked to Jiang Nu'er, he followed Jiang Nu'er's hand and looked forward.

"Shhh

The scene in front of him, even Su You, who had been mentally prepared, couldn't help but gasp, and Qi Meiren directly hugged Jiang Nu'er's arm and hid behind.

"This, these are the corpses of the merfolk?"

In front of everyone's eyes, countless corpses that were half humanoid and half fish-like, the upper half of their eyes, hair, and human faces were torn off, revealing flesh and bones, and the scales of the lower body were all pulled out, and the flesh and blood were almost smashed and mashed, and the corpses were entangled with each other and piled up into a small mountain.

Perhaps because of the long time, these mountains of mermaid corpses no longer emit any smell, but the bright red flesh and pale bones are exactly the same as the human race's faceless faces, all telling the tragedy that happened at this time.

Rao is Su You couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then stepped forward to let Qingli tell whether these mermaid corpses were his clansmen.

But just when Su You stepped forward with Qingli.

"Hum..."

Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the hill of corpses in front of me, and then I saw a faint blue light wrapped in something and slowly floated in front of Qingli.

Qingli cautiously poked out a small head from behind Su You, but was attracted by the faint blue light floating in front of him, and unconsciously raised his hand.

The faint blue light seemed to sense Qingli's existence, and it fell on Qingli's hand after a while.

At the same time, the light dissipated, and the thing that was shrouded in the light took on its original form.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a piece of scales that shimmered with rainbow light like a heartbeat.

At this time, Qingli, who saw this piece of colorful scales, immediately exclaimed: "This is the patriarch's natal scale!" ”

"Natal scales?" Hearing Qingli's exclamation, Su You's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Qingli, you seem to have something to say?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Qingli then nodded, "Every member of the mermaid clan will have a natal scale on their body that is different from the other scales on their body, but almost all the natal scales of the mermaid clan are dark blue, and only the natal scales of each patriarch will be this color." ”

Holding the colorful scales in his hand and showing them to Su You, Qingli continued: "And the natal scales of the mermaid clan also represent the origin of life of every mermaid clan to a certain extent. ”

"That is to say, if the merfolk die, the natal scales on its body will immediately turn into powder and dissipate, if the merfolk are still alive, the more light the natal scales on its body are, the stronger its vitality is, but even the faintest light is enough to prove that the merfolk are at least alive."

"So you're saying that the merfolk patriarch is actually alive?" Su You's eyes widened, and he was a little surprised by what Qingli said, he didn't expect that the patriarch of the mermaid clan could really survive under the hands of the demons of the Heavenly Demon Domain.

At this time, Qingli was very excited and said to Su You: "Li'er can find the location of the patriarch through this scale, Childe, should we go to the patriarch now?" ”

However, Su You immediately shook his head.

Seeing Qingli's puzzled face, Su You first looked around before he opened his mouth to explain: "If the soul dies but the body survives, will the natal scales still disappear?" ”

"Ahh Qingli was taken aback, "Li'er didn't think about this!" ”

Su You chuckled: "Of course, I would like to believe that the mermaid clan patriarch is still alive somewhere, but what we have to do now is to explore this place clearly first, the space under this cave seems to be very large, and there is not the slightest trace and aura left by the demon ghosts of the Heavenly Demon Domain, plus the natal scales of the mermaid clan patriarch appear here, I have reason to believe that there may be other more important clues here, and it is very likely that the mermaid clan patriarch left behind." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren immediately used their spiritual power as a lamp to completely illuminate the dark and deep space they were in.

With the pitch-black space being fully illuminated.

Su You and the others immediately saw that in addition to the corpses of the mermaid clan that were piled up into a mountain, there were also bookshelves embedded in the surrounding stone walls, as well as a stone pagoda enshrined in the center.

Looking around, most of the books on the shelves have been corrupted with the passage of time, and even if there are any lucky ones that have been preserved, they are only some historical records about the mermaid clan, which are not particularly important to Su You.

So Su You set his eyes on the stone tower that was enshrined in the middle.

"It's exactly the same as the White Pagoda and the Green Tower."

Su You could see at a glance that this stone tower was exactly the same as the two towers he had obtained in the White Tiger Hall and the Blue Dragon Palace.

So he immediately stepped forward and put his hand on the stone tower, and at the same time slowly poured the part of the blood power belonging to the dragon into the stone tower.

It didn't take long.

As the power of the bloodline gradually infused, the stone chips on the original stone tower continued to fall off, and in its place were delicate cyan towers surrounded by a dragon and a mermaid.

"Sure enough."

After seeing the original appearance of the stone tower, Su You reached out and picked it up, and then put it with the green tower.

Immediately, the stone tower in Su You's palm turned into a mermaid phantom and poured into the tenth floor of the green tower.

At the same time, if you look closely, you can see that there are phantoms of dragons and mermaids flying between the tenth floor of the green tower, and after a long time, they merge with each other to form a new dragon shadow with a whole body of emerald green like glass.

Then, the fused dragon shadow opened its huge mouth and spit out a cyan dragon flame, which actually bombarded directly in front of Su You and everyone from the tenth layer of the green tower, the only stone wall that was not inlaid with a bookshelf.

"It's the door!"

Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren looked at the stone wall that was bombarded by dragon flames, and were surprised to find that the stone wall was actually melted, and a gate carved with countless mermaids appeared in front of everyone, and automatically opened under the gaze of everyone.

Wait until the gate is fully open.

"Shhh This time it was not only Su You, but the others also gasped.

Qingli's thin lips opened lightly, and he said slowly: "It's the patriarch." ”

But instead of stepping forward, she closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks.

Jiang Nu'er and Qi Meiren stepped forward, then turned around and shook their heads at Su You, "It's been a long time since I've been dead." ”

Originally.

Just behind the gate opened by the dragon shadow spitting dragon flames, it was the patriarch of the mermaid clan who knelt on his knees.

It's just that at this time, the mermaid patriarch has already turned into a corpse.

It was also at this time.

"Ahh

Qingli exclaimed, it turned out that the natal scales belonging to the mermaid patriarch in his hand turned into powder and dissipated at this time.

At this point, the merfolk patriarch confirmed the fact that it was dead.

But just as the merfolk patriarch's natal scales dissipated into powder, the body of the merfolk patriarch kneeling behind the door gradually collapsed, but there was also a map outlining a large number of routes and annotations behind the merfolk patriarch.

Su You hurriedly stepped forward and took the map that seemed to be made by the mermaid patriarch with his own skin.

But he immediately frowned.

He couldn't read the map, and he had no idea what the various markings and routes on the map represented.
