The sea water is full, and under the shining of the setting sun, the waves are jumping like naughty children. There is a golden light on the water surface, which is dazzling. Under the sea surface, there is a wider and huge space.
Large sharks that are seventeen to eight meters long are wandering in this sea area. This is a ferocious giant shark known as the "Tiger of the Sea", with their green, cruel little eyes.
And two rows of snow-white, sharp teeth reveal a severe chill. With their protection, no ordinary fish would dare to approach this place.
Suddenly, there was a surge of water, and several fishmen swam towards the shark group with their tails swaying.
These sharks immediately dispersed, showing the most humble and obedient appearance, respectfully waiting for these fishmen to pass through the sea areas they were patrolling.
Murlocs are the only race in the sea that can tame giant sharks and command them like an arm, and only under the command of the murlocs can giant sharks exert their most powerful combat effectiveness.
At this time, after the fishmen passed through the shark's guardian area, they finally came to a huge palace.
Outside this palace, there is actually a solid layer of light shield. Under their protection, a huge waterless space has been opened up in the ocean.
If Zheng Haotian saw this scene at this time, then he would definitely understand what Joseph meant. Even ordinary humans can survive well in such an environment.
When these fishmen came to the light mask, they stretched out their palms and gently pressed them against it. The next moment, their bodies began to merge into the light mask.
Little by little, it was like entering through a transparent bubble.
This huge spatial restriction has no ability to block the fish-men race.
The leader of the fish-men lifted up the scarf on his head, revealing Shui Xiuer's beautiful and delicate face. Her figure swayed slightly and actually floated in this space.
Not only her, but also several fish-men generals behind her floated up.
There was no spiritual weapon light flashing on their bodies, nor any breath fluctuations. They seemed to be flying in the air by their own abilities.
This is not to say that their abilities have reached the level where they can fly without the help of external force, but because the space here has magical abilities. As long as they use a little spiritual power or infuriating energy, they can easily fly
Float in the air and move as you please.
However, there are certain rules here***.
Ordinary fishmen can only float a few feet in the air. If they want to float upwards, they will have to rely on the power of spiritual weapons just like on land.
The group passed through several gorgeous and luxurious palaces, and finally came to a tall round building.
Shui Xiuer landed. She waved her hand gently, and a group of soldiers in front of the building immediately stepped forward and took a token from her hand.
After looking over and over, Shui Xiuer finally gained the qualification to enter, while the several frightened murlocs following her were carefully waiting for the unknown fate.
In the main hall, an old man with white hair and beard sat in a large and comfortable chair, flipping through some jade plaques on the desk that recorded events.
Seeing Shui Xiu'er come in, he sighed and said: "Xiu'er, how can you fail this time when you two go there? Let me hear it."
The news of the failure of the fishmen's troops had long been spread, but he did not know the specific situation.
Shui Xiuer bowed respectfully and said: "Grandfather, this failure is because we chose the wrong target."
"How do you say it?" the old man asked slowly.
"Although Zhenhai City has only been established for a hundred years, there is a false spirit person sitting in the city." Shui Xiuer said calmly: "He has made bold statements that Zhenhai City is under his protection and no seafarers are welcome.
The clan’s visit.”
The old man pondered for a moment and said: "It's just a fake spirit person. If we send out the army again, we should be able to capture this city and kill this person."
Shui Xiuer seemed to think for a moment, and she actually said in a quite objective tone: "According to Haier's observation, it is probably not long before that human being enters the realm of a true spiritual being."
The old man's brows furrowed deeply. He was naturally not afraid of a fake spirit person. Even if the other person was a real human spirit person, he might not take it seriously.
However, the agreement between humans and murlocs is a promise made by their respective bosses. The more noble the status, the more powerful people will not dare to violate it.
In contrast, those ordinary cultivators are able to let go of their hands and feet and do whatever they want unscrupulously because they are ignorant and fearless.
He stretched out his hand and tapped the table gently. After a moment, he sighed softly and said: "Well, let's just consider that small town's luck. Humph, it's just a fake spirit. After he is promoted to a real spirit, I will
People will be sent to take their lives in spiritual trials."
Shui Xiu'er raised her head and glanced at the old man indifferently. She knew that since Hu Batian was cared about by the old man, it was fine that he had not been promoted to a spiritual being. If he was lucky enough to be promoted to a spiritual being, then he would be caught off guard.
If you don't do it, you will definitely suffer a real big loss, and even lose your life to the old man's design.
Suddenly, a voice full of coercion and domineering seemed to appear in her mind.
"Zhenhai, Tiger Batian!"
Her spirit trembled slightly, and she immediately put the voice away. What does this person's life and death have to do with me?
The old man noticed her abnormality and couldn't help but sigh softly and said: "Xiu'er, I know what you are worried about."
Shui Xiuer's heart suddenly tightened, and her cold and proud eyes seemed to flicker at this moment.
The old man sighed softly: "This time you two members of the royal family went out together, and not only did you come back defeated, one of them even died. This kind of record is not even the worst in the ten thousand years of history of our family.
, and you are definitely at the bottom. Therefore, you will be punished by the elders of the clan this time. It is naturally very bad for your future."
Shui Xiuer's heart slowly relaxed and she regained her absolute calmness again.
"Grandfather, if the clan leaders want to deal with the child, please let them send the child to the Blackwater Cave."
The old man raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Nonsense, you are my descendant, how can you enter the black water cave and suffer."
Shui Xiuer said calmly: "Grandfather, they will not let go of our lineage easily."
The old man looked at him seriously. After a moment, he suddenly whispered: "Xiu'er, look." He stood up slowly. Then, he opened his legs and walked around the desk.
Below his waist, there is not a fish tail, but two human-like legs.
At this time, the way he walked was not floating in the air, but walking step by step.
Shui Xiuer's eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation, and she said in surprise: "Grandpa, your injury has been greatly healed?"
The old man smiled slightly and said: "Yes, my injury has healed, so I can walk with my legs again."
Shui Xiuer's eyes flashed brightly as she said, "Since you have recovered..."
The old man laughed loudly and said: "You are right. Now that I have recovered from my injuries, I would like to see who among the entire clan dares to embarrass my descendants."
What he said was extremely heroic and full of strong self-confidence. It was as if he had never really put anyone in his eyes in this fish-man royal court.
Shui Xiuer pondered for a moment and finally said: "Grandpa, I really want to enter the Black Water Cave to practice."
The old man's laughter suddenly stopped, and he said with a surprised look on his face: "Xiu'er, what stimulation did you receive? Why do you have such thoughts?"
Batu Caves is an extremely dangerous and terrifying place. Only those fishmen who have made big mistakes will be exiled there to be punished. However, there are also some strong fishmen who deliberately enter this place to train themselves and want to break through.
limit.
Shui Xiuer has always been known for her absolute calmness, but now she takes the initiative to enter the black water cave, which naturally makes the old fish man feel puzzled.
Gently lowering her gaze, Shui Xiuer said in a deep voice: "After this disastrous defeat, I learned one thing this time."
The old fish man said with great interest: "You tell me."
"In war, heroes are judged based on success or failure. As long as the rules allow it, whether it is collective strength or individual strength, as long as the final victory can be achieved... it will be enough." Shui Xiuer said slowly, but
But he said unswervingly: "Joseph was too superstitious about personal strength, so he capsized in the gutter. But the child was too obsessed with relying on the overall strength of the Hai Clan, so he was beaten by some ordinary cultivators who were not even seventh level.
It successfully delayed the time until the false spirit arrived. If the child could make a decision earlier and take action himself, he would be the first to break the city."
The old man looked at her silently, but a hint of joy gradually appeared in his eyes.
After a moment, the old man suddenly slapped his body, and a golden scale suddenly appeared in his hand. With a flick of his finger, it fell into Shui Xiuer's hand. He said in a deep voice: "Xiuer, you are the one who entered the black water cave.
It’s your own decision, and I hope you won’t regret it.”
"My child, I will never regret it." Shui Xiuer glanced at the old man gratefully, put the scales away close to her body, and then turned and left.
The old man watched her leave and nodded with satisfaction, but then he smiled, returned to the desk and sat down, waved a few times on a jade sign, and said: "Send the things to the king, and he will take care of it."
Let’s decide.”
A vague and real figure suddenly appeared, took the jade token from his hand, bowed and then disappeared suddenly.
However, half a day later, a ferocious and angry roar suddenly sounded in the fish-men palace of this lineage.
"Zheng Haotian, how dare you kill my son, I will never spare you..."
