Chapter 28: Storm rises in the South China Sea Mermaid Tribe
As they were heading to the South China Sea, Feng Yao looked at the gloomy sky and felt a little uneasy. The sea was rough, and huge waves kept hitting their path, as if even the ocean was resisting their arrival.
As they gradually approached the South China Sea, the surrounding scene became more and more bizarre. The color of the sea water became deep and mysterious, and sometimes it glowed with a faint blue light, as if telling an ancient story. Suddenly, a group of huge sea beasts jumped out from the deep sea below them. These sea beasts were shaped like whales, but had sharp fangs and exuded a terrifying aura.
Yang Jian, holding a three-pointed double-edged sword, rushed forward first and shouted, "Everyone be careful, these sea beasts are not friendly!" Ao Bing also quickly cast a water spell to form a layer of water curtain shield around everyone to resist the attack of the sea beasts. Bajie waved his rake and shouted, "Humph, watch me, I will beat all of you guys back!" Feng Yao rode on the back of a colorful phoenix, ready to cast spells to support everyone at any time.
The sea beasts rammed the water curtain shield frantically, and the huge force caused ripples on the shield. Yang Jian saw the right opportunity, flew up, and stabbed a sea beast with his three-pointed double-edged sword. The sea beast felt pain and let out a dull roar, stirring up a large amount of water. Bajie was not to be outdone, and his spiked rake danced in the sea water, hitting the side of a sea beast, and blood immediately flowed from the sea beast.
However, these sea beasts seemed tireless and kept coming in waves. Just when everyone was overwhelmed, a melodious song suddenly came from afar. The song seemed to have a magical power, which gradually calmed the crazy sea beasts and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Everyone looked in the direction of the singing and saw a group of mermaids emerging from the water. The leader was a beautiful mermaid woman with long blue hair as soft as seaweed and eyes as deep as the ocean, shining with mysterious light. She was wearing clothes woven with shells and pearls, and her fish tail shone with colorful luster in the sun.
The mermaid woman looked at everyone and smiled, "Dear guests from afar, why did you attract these sea beasts to attack you? This is the territory of the South China Sea Mermaid Tribe. If you have nothing important to do, please leave as soon as possible." Ao Bing stepped forward and said respectfully, "We have no ill intentions. We are here to find the Dinghai Pearl. I heard that your tribe once obtained this treasure. I hope to get some clues from you."
When the merman girl heard about the Dinghai Pearl, her expression changed slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes: "The Dinghai Pearl is a sacred object of our tribe and has been well kept. Why are you looking for it?" Feng Yao explained quickly: "We are looking for the Dinghai Pearl in order to enter a mysterious island in the East China Sea and obtain the Lingyuan Holy Pearl. The Lingyuan Holy Pearl is related to the lives of all people in the world. If it falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, the consequences will be disastrous."
The mermaid was silent for a moment and said, "I need to discuss with the elders of the tribe. You can follow me." Everyone followed the mermaid into the water and soon arrived at the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe was like an underwater dream city, with buildings made of various corals and shells scattered in an orderly manner, emitting a soft light.
The mermaid woman brought everyone to a huge coral palace, where several white-haired mermaid elders sat. The mermaid woman explained the purpose of everyone's visit to the elders, who looked at each other and discussed in a low voice.
After a long while, an elder slowly spoke: "The Dinghai Pearl is of great significance to our tribe, but since it concerns the lives of the people of the world, we can lend you a helping hand. However, a few days ago, some mysterious auras appeared around the tribe, and it seemed that someone was secretly spying on us. We suspect that the news of the Dinghai Pearl has been leaked. If you want to borrow the Dinghai Pearl, you must help us find these spying people and ensure the safety of the tribe."
Yang Jian and the others looked at each other and nodded in agreement. The elder of the mermaid continued, "According to our observation, these mysterious people often appear near the coral forest east of the tribe. You can go there to investigate, but be careful, they seem to have some strange magic."
Everyone thanked the elder of the mermaids and immediately headed for the coral forest to the east of the tribe. In the coral forest, colorful corals of various shapes appeared, but beneath this beautiful appearance, it seemed that endless dangers were hidden. They moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, the surrounding sea water began to fluctuate violently, and black tentacles stretched out from the corals and grabbed everyone...
