Li Li and Yao Tan quietly pricked up their ears.

“……”

Lightning snorted, but really seemed to remember something, and then suddenly and quickly pulled his wings and rushed forward.

"Whew!"

It touched the wall with its pointed beak.

Li Li followed, looking at the inconspicuous stone door in front of him, as before, it should have been arranged with some kind of hidden magic, if it weren't for the griffin's perception ability far beyond that of humans, I'm afraid no one would really notice that there was a secret room in it.

She raised her withered sword, judged its position, and swung forward.

Boom ——!

The moment the stone collapsed and shattered, a white light suddenly flashed in front of Li Li's eyes, and with a terrifying deterrent power like seeing death as home, it slammed into Li Li's body!

Li Li was stunned for a moment, slightly stunned.

Soul Attack?!

At this moment, the hand she had wanted to wield the Withered Glory Sword was suppressed, and she instead let this suddenly appeared soul flood into her mind.

She was eager to see what else was hidden here.

Li Li slowly sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness.

This is almost the home of all kinds of sword qi, the invisible sword qi of various systems is agitated and collided and fused, and from time to time a dazzling sword light is collided, the sound of the sword is as ubiquitous as the wind, and there is a sword-holding phantom in the middle, at this time, it is emitting a terrifying coercion that is almost godlike.

In this boundless sword qi space, a small white light suddenly broke in.

It seemed to be stunned for a moment, looking at its surroundings blankly and stiffly, and after noticing the terrifying phantom that was comparable to a giant, it trembled violently, and the aura that was still full of murderous intent disappeared in an instant.

The white light didn't expect this place to be so terrifying, and after a brief pause, it seemed to have a premonition of the approaching danger, and did not hesitate to retreat.

However, a wisp of sword qi lightly blocked its retreat, and judging from the fierce aura above, if the white light hit it, it would definitely be shattered into pieces on the spot.

Bai Guang frantically wanted to pull out of Li Li's sea of knowledge, but at this moment, the huge phantom moved.

She held out a finger and pressed the white light, completely blocking its retreat.

It is rare to meet someone who dares to attack her soul, Li Li originally wanted to take the opportunity to see what the other party's identity was, but after she grabbed the other party's soul, it was as decisive as a gecko's broken tail, and did not hesitate to erase her own soul!

This is interesting, it seems that the other party has a secret that must not be revealed.

The battle between souls was lightning fast and ended almost instantly.

Yao Tan and Collins behind Li Li didn't notice anything unusual, and after the stone door was blasted open, they subconsciously wanted to go in.

However, Li Li stopped them, "Be careful, there may be enemies inside." ”

Hearing this, Collins and Yao Tan immediately became cautious and vigilantly stared at the movement inside.

Hmmm——!

It was clear that there could be no strong winds inside the prison, but the sea water outside the magic barrier was still churning violently, as Li Li said, it seemed that there was some terrible enemy hidden inside.

The griffons in the rear were too big, and they were stuck outside the stone gate and couldn't get in, so they didn't dare to howl at this time, so they could only blow up their fur and be on guard.

"Wait here, if someone from outside touches you and sneaks up, you can call it." Li Li turned around and told the lightning at the head.

The big head quickly nodded and cooperated, and consciously took on the heavy responsibility of guarding the door.

With griffons helping to guard the rear, Li Li went forward with confidence.

She silently clenched the Kurong Sword and secretly used her spiritual power so that she could strike as soon as she encountered danger.

This stone chamber was unusually dark, perhaps due to the fact that the water was gradually becoming darker, and even the lighting magic items could only reflect the visual range of about one meter before the barrier.

Li Li motioned to Corinth and Yao Tan, telling them to slow down and prepare to quietly touch the darkness.

However, in the next moment, an extremely subtle wind slammed towards Li Li and the others!

Ding——!

It didn't even collide with the super-high-level enchantment summoned by Corinth, but it was intercepted by a sword swung by Li Li.

Li Li's hand was still in a straight posture of swinging the sword.

On the tip of the Kurong Sword, he held the hidden weapon of Fang Cai.

Li Li took the sword back, and the secret weapon also fell into her hands.

After seeing what this was, Li Li was slightly stunned.

"Huh?"

Collins took the illumination prop and looked closer, his face showing surprise.

"How are fish scales?"

This is not a regular hidden weapon such as a dart or a poison needle as Li Li imagined, but a fish scale that is not too big.

Illuminated by the magical light, the blue scales shimmered with a subtle golden sheen, like the most beautiful gemstone in the world, and it was indescribably beautiful.

Such a small piece of fish scales has nothing to do with the hidden weapon at all, and it is impossible to hurt Li Li and them.

It seemed that he knew that his first attack was unsuccessful, and then several deranged fish scales attacked, all of which were stopped by Li Li.

She also followed the fluctuations of the sea carried by the scales of the fish to find the location where the attacker was hiding.

As the distance narrowed, the three of them gradually saw the situation ahead.

At that moment, both Collins and Yao Tan let out a low exclamation, their eyes full of shock.

A boy somewhere between a teenager and a child stared at them as if he were a great enemy, his dark blue hair floating gently like seaweed in the seawater, his fair skin glowing with a pearly sheen, and his delicate and picturesque face as beautiful as a bastion like a bastion's kraken.

And the lower half of his body is not a human leg, but a slender fish tail.

The blue fishtail swayed slightly in the dark water, glowing with a fine and dazzling golden luster, and the dim and turbid sea water in the original secret room was also beautiful under the reflection of the fishtail shimmer.

"People...... Merman! Collins took a breath of cold air.

Yao Tan, who had had all kinds of delusions about mermaids, also nodded stunned: "It turns out that it is really a man and a fish......

Li Li remembered the mermaid he had painted before, and silently echoed Yao Tan's emotion in his heart, and once again felt that Xiren did not deceive people, and the mermaid really had a beauty that was not inferior to that of elves.

If you carefully distinguish between the two, it is difficult to distinguish between the two, after all, the appearance of the elves tends to be cold and elegant, like the awe-inspiring and inviolable snow on the mountain top. The mermaid in front of you is like a bouquet of flowers blooming at the bottom of the sea, which is even more thrilling and beautiful.

It's a pity that the expression of the young mermaid in front of him at this moment is even colder and more fierce than that of the elf.

Those slightly shallow eyes were full of anger and panic that could not be hidden, especially after seeing Li Li with a sword, the little mermaid's eyes widened suddenly, staring at her deadly, as if she had seen some kind of monster.

However, even so, he still did not choose to dodge, but clenched his hands angrily, and then jerked his tail -

A scale with blood was plucked off by him alive, and then thrown at Li Li and the three of them fiercely!

The blood-red quickly vanished into the water, but the bits and pieces of wounds on his tail didn't seem like the first time he'd done something like this.

Like last time, the scales were caught by Li Li with his sword.

She frowned, looked at the scarred tail, and said lightly: "Don't do this kind of useless work." ”

The little mermaid's eyes flashed with shock.

Seeing Li Li approaching a few people, he hurriedly opened his hand, trying to stop them from approaching.

"Don't come here!"

"They're dying, it's useless for you to take them away!"

Li Li solemnly looked at the dying mermaid in front of him, and finally his eyes fell behind him, and he couldn't help but sink his heart.

There were more than a dozen merfolk here, but all but the boy seemed to have fallen into a coma.

In the same way, all of their tails were cruelly chained through them, and the short chains bound them, leaving them to float in the water, but never to swim out of the stone chamber......

Perhaps they could not even stand before the sea rushed in, and could only crawl helplessly on the ground like stranded fish, desperately waiting for unknown danger.

Seeing Li Li approaching with a sword, despair seemed to emerge on the little mermaid's handsome but pale face.

He desperately tried to reach out to protect the other merfolk behind him, but the chains hooked his tail, trapping him here completely.

The Kurong Sword was unsheathed, and then passed through the magical barrier from within, like a snow-white slender swimming fish, hanging in the water.

Ding——!

It landed lightly, slashing with precision and cleanness at one of the chains that hooked the merfolk.

It can be seen that this sword was swung extremely carefully, and not even a single fish scale was scratched.

“……”

The little mermaid's hand clutched her scales trembled and looked at the scene blankly.

No, she doesn't seem to be the one she used to be.

Those people would never treat merfolk so gently, they would just roughly cut off their tails and drag them away, take them to that unknown place, and never come back.

And she didn't wear that terrible black robe!

The little mermaid's heart suddenly rushed to a frenzied welling of hope, a glimmer of hope that was about to be worn out.

Under the gaze of this burning gaze, Li Li, who was holding the Kurong Sword, also seemed to have sensed it, and she suddenly turned her head and met the little mermaid's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Li slashed the Kurong sword horizontally.

Jian Xiu warned in a deep voice.

"Don't try to sneak up on me!"

The little mermaid seemed stunned for a moment.

But Li Li didn't care about him, she was still cutting the chains carefully.

This young mermaid looked like he had been tortured a lot, and he was on high alert, if he guessed correctly, the white light that had just sneaked up on him was his soul attack.

Rich experience tells Li Li that such a person is unreasonable.

Instead of saying "we are here to save you" without evidence, it is better to directly put into action and start saving people in order to gain the trust of the other party...... Of course, you have to save him in the end, otherwise who knows if this guy will carry out another sneak attack after being released, which will affect the progress of his own rescue!

Seeing Li Li rescue those trapped mermaids one by one, the little mermaid seemed to see that they did not have malicious intent, and his spirit seemed to be relaxed after I don't know how long it had been tense.

But while Yao Tan and Collins were stuffing pills into the unconscious merfolk, he was still nervously picking at the scales of his tail, as if he was ready to fight desperately at any moment.
