Chapter 27: Exploring the East China Sea and the Ups and Downs in the Dragon Palace
Everyone rushed towards the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, and they were running at full speed. Although Ao Bing was still a little pale, he was trying to stay alert and guide everyone. As they got closer and closer to the East China Sea, the air was filled with humid water vapor, and the sea breeze whistled past with a salty taste.
Finally, they arrived at the East China Sea. The vast blue waves were like huge beasts, constantly hitting the sea surface, making a deafening sound. Ao Bing took the lead and chanted a spell, and the sea water automatically parted, revealing a passage leading to the seabed. Everyone walked along the passage and soon arrived at the gate of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea.
The gate of the Dragon Palace was majestic and magnificent, made of huge corals and shells, inlaid with countless dazzling pearls, emitting colorful light. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of the gate saw Ao Bing and saluted. However, when everyone wanted to enter the Dragon Palace, they were stopped. The leading crab general said with difficulty: "Third Prince, the Dragon Palace has an order now. People who are not from the Dragon Palace are not allowed to enter at will."
Ao Bing frowned and said, "I am Ao Bing, how dare you stop me? These people are all my good friends. They came to the Dragon Palace to discuss important matters." The Crab General quickly explained, "Third Prince, it is indeed the Dragon King who issued a strict order. The Dragon Palace has been in turmoil recently. I hope that Third Prince will understand."
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a familiar voice came from the gate of the Dragon Palace: "Is that Bing'er? Let them in quickly." It was the Dragon King Ao Guang who spoke. The crab generals heard the Dragon King's order and hurriedly let them in. Everyone entered the Dragon Palace and saw that the interior of the Dragon Palace was magnificent, with corals and jade trees galore, and all kinds of rare treasures were placed in a staggered manner.
Ao Bing led everyone to the main hall and met the Dragon King Ao Guang. Ao Guang looked a little tired, and when he saw Ao Bing and the others, he forced a smile. Ao Bing stepped forward and said, "Father, I came here to find a magic weapon that can break the restriction of the mysterious island. As far as we know, there is a high possibility that the second Holy Spirit Source Pearl is hidden under that mysterious island."
When Ao Guang heard about the Holy Spirit Pearl, his face changed slightly and he said, "Bing'er, do you know why the Dragon Palace has been under martial law recently? A few days ago, there were inexplicable movements in the Dragon Palace treasury. Some magic weapons seemed to be pulled by some kind of force. Among them, there might be the magic weapons that you said could break the ban. Now the whereabouts of those magic weapons are unknown. I'm afraid they have been stolen by thieves."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Feng Yao asked, "Dragon King, do you know who did this? This is crucial to our search for the Holy Spirit Source Pearl." Ao Guang sighed and said, "It happened suddenly. The guardian spirit beast in the treasury was also seriously injured. We only saw a black shadow passing by and could not see the face of the thief clearly. However, according to the guardian spirit beast, the thief seemed to be emitting a strange demonic aura."
Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "It seems that this is the work of that mysterious force again. They acted so quickly, I'm afraid they had planned it in advance." Bajie scratched his head and said, "What should we do now? Without the magic weapon, how can we enter the mysterious island?"
Ao Bing pondered for a moment and said, "Father, although the magic weapon is missing, I remember there is an ancient book in the treasury that records some information about the mysterious island. Perhaps we can find other ways to break the ban from it." Ao Guang nodded and said, "Okay, follow me to the treasury to check it out."
Everyone came to the treasury, which was in a mess, obviously after a fierce fight. Ao Bing found the ancient book in the corner. The ancient book was covered with dust and the paper was a little yellow. He blew away the dust gently and opened the ancient book carefully.
Ancient books record that the mysterious island was a sealed place set up by a powerful person in ancient times. A powerful monster was suppressed under the island. The prohibition of entering the island is related to a magic weapon called "Dinghai Pearl". However, the "Dinghai Pearl" was lost thousands of years ago and its whereabouts are unknown.
Just when everyone felt helpless, a line of small words appeared on the last page of the ancient book: "If you want to find Dinghai Pearl, you can go to the mermaid tribe in the South China Sea. It is rumored that the mermaid tribe once obtained this treasure."
Ao Bing closed the ancient book and said, "It seems that we have to go to the South China Sea Mermaid Tribe." Dragon King Ao Guang said worriedly, "The South China Sea Mermaid Tribe has always been mysterious, and has always had grievances with our dragon clan. You must be extra careful when you go there."
They thanked the Dragon King, left the Dragon Palace, and headed towards the South China Sea. Along the way, the sea breeze became stronger and stronger, and dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, which seemed to indicate that many difficulties were waiting for them ahead.
Not long after they left, a black shadow quietly emerged from the shadows of the Dragon Palace and muttered to itself, "It's not easy to find the Dinghai Pearl. I'll go and inform the master..." After that, the black shadow flashed and disappeared into the vast sea.
As they were heading to the South China Sea, Feng Yao looked at the gloomy
