Yi Qing worked so hard to add friends everywhere because he wanted to collect more available information and make sufficient preparations before coming, so he naturally asked about everything about the leader of the sea snake.

The leader of the sea snake is violent, cruel and irritable. It is said that when he succeeded to the throne, he slaughtered all the opposing sea snakes in the clan, and blood flowed in the central city. He is a full-fledged tyrant.

The pets he raises have similar temperaments to their owners. It is common for them to sneak out and wreak havoc in the territory. Occasionally, they "accidentally" eat a few clansmen, but no one dares to say no.

Moreover, this giant jellyfish is a type with super fighting power in the deep sea. Dozens of ordinary sea snakes or mermaids are no match for it, and only the leader of the sea snake can hold it down.

So once it appeared in the territory, the sea snakes had no choice but to run for their lives.

What's more, this is still the fringe of the territory. Most of the sea snakes are not as good as a pet of the leader. If they die, they will die, and the right is to be fed.

Cold sweat overflowed Yi Qing's forehead, and several players with good relationships told him that the most important thing to enter the Sea Snake Clan is to stay away from pearls, and the second is to hide your identity. If you are exposed, you may still have a chance to escape. The former only has a dead end .

He didn't think it was that serious at first, and Pearl didn't come out every day.

As a result, he was thinking that he was lucky just now, and he and Mingshu got a random task with 5 favorability points on the first day they came out, and they ran into this big killer in the next second.

The huge jellyfish's body constantly expands and contracts, and it rushes straight forward.

It used its slender tentacles to tear off the seawater mass of the plants along the way and stick it to itself, using it to float in mid-air. Occasionally, it couldn't support it and fell a little bit, knocking down many houses.

Yi Qing and Ming Shu wanted to hide in the narrow alley, but the surrounding sea snakes ran for their lives, hid and hid, lost order in the panic, and directly blocked them.

Mingshu was almost knocked down, trying to get out of the crowd.

Yi Qing helped Mingshu at the beginning, but then she was too busy to take care of herself, and she didn't know where she was pushed.

Seeing that the pearl was getting closer and closer, one of the sea snakes was really scared and changed back to its original form, trying to pass under the feet of the crowded crowd.

Mingshu took this opportunity to squeeze away a few sea snakes on the other side, and quickly hid behind a clump of short corals.

The giant jellyfish gradually lost the support of the sea water, fell headlong, and rolled towards the sea snakes who couldn't escape.

But it didn't seem to do anything to them, even as if they were hindering him, it rolled up the obstructing sea snake with its tentacles and threw it aside, rolling forward all the way until it stopped in front of the short coral where Mingshu was hiding.

The nearby sea snakes panicked even more, and the noisy noise made Pearl very irritable, so she rolled up a few more and threw them out.

Only Ming Shu hugged a small group of corals, held his breath and remained motionless, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Dwarf corals are soft, and the thin branches can't hide people at all, but it's safer than running around.

Soon, all the sea snakes around Pearl were thrown away, and its huge body moved again, as if it was about to leave.

However, the next moment, a white and thin tentacle appeared in front of Ming Shu's eyes, curling up the short coral bushes and uprooting them.

Ming Shu's figure was suddenly exposed, he turned around and ran, and a second tentacle stretched out from one side, wrapping around his body.

This time, Pearl did not throw Mingshu away like she did with the sea snake, but lifted him up and slowly brought him in front of her.

The jellyfish doesn't have real eyes, but Mingshu feels that it is looking at her.

He froze and didn't dare to move, the white cloth on his face had been lost at some point, and the silver hair fluttered in the wind.

Pearl quieted down, raised another tentacle, and lightly touched Mingshu.

It seemed that it had no intention of eating Ming Shu, nor would it let him go. During the stalemate, Ming Shu discovered that this jellyfish was actually very beautiful.

Its whole body is white, and the surface seems to be covered with a layer of delicate pearl. There are more than a dozen translucent jelly-like tentacles connected behind it, and the whole body is shining with slight undulations.

But no matter how beautiful it is, it can also be dangerous.

Seeing that it didn't do anything to him, Mingshu tried to struggle lightly.

As soon as he moved, the tentacles wrapped around his waist tightened even more.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded.

[Ding dong--Trigger a random task]

[Among the following items, which one is the npc in front of you favorite (you can get 10 favorability points if you successfully gift it)]

[a. Red-spotted young fish]

Ming Shu was stunned, The npc in front of me... refers to the pearl?

But why is there only one option...

Single choice to send sub-questions?

When Ming Shu was caught by Pearl, all the nearby sea snakes basically ran away, and no one cared about his life or death.

Yi Qing also planned to leave quickly, and silently mourned for Ming Shu for two seconds.

But he saw that Zhuzhu hadn't attacked Mingshu for a long time, so he stayed behind by mistake, hiding secretly in the dark alley between two boulders.

It was already night, and a few lamps made of algae were lit on both sides of the street. Yi Qing saw the blank look on Mingshu's face again, and looked at Pearl suspiciously.

The corner of Yi Qing's eyes twitched, no way...a mission is triggered again?

pearl? This vicious jellyfish? There are also Raiders missions?

But this doesn't make sense, the sea snake before can be said to have a lust for Mingshu, and he has a certain liking for him.

What is this jellyfish?

Yi Qing thought about it, and walked out boldly.

If Mingshu really triggers the mission, and he has no information to exchange with Mingshu.

Maybe Pearl slipped out tonight when she was full, so she was unusually docile.

In any case, he had to seize the opportunity, in case he could also trigger a random mission.

Yi Qing approached Pearl, while winking at Mingshu.

Mingshu was lifted in the air, and didn't notice Yi Qing at all. Pearl didn't let him go, and rubbed his cheek with the end of the thicker tentacles.

This seemed to be a gesture of friendliness, coupled with the triggering of a random task, Mingshu's tense mood eased a lot.

He was thinking just now that if he accidentally died here, his two life points would come in handy.

There is no way to save in this dungeon, he should be teleported back to the original location.

In short, try to keep your life as much as possible, and it is definitely the best not to waste life points.

Ming Shu also lightly touched Pearl's tentacles, and tentatively greeted it: "Hello?"

Since it can trigger the strategy mission, it proves that Pearl has a certain amount of wisdom.

Sure enough, as soon as Mingshu finished speaking, Zhuzhu's body shook slightly, and several tentacles swayed happily.

At this time, it noticed a strange breath approaching.

Yi Qing came to Pearl's side, imitating Mingshu's movements, touching the tentacles on the ground.

This unsightly person appeared out of nowhere, Pearl retracted her tentacles, and waved towards Yi Qing impatiently.

It was huge in size and its strength was beyond the reach of ordinary creatures. Yi Qing was caught off guard and was knocked into the air by the tentacles.

He smashed on the boulder behind him and fell into a mass of aquatic plants wrapped in seawater below, and the splashed water scrambled upwards.

[Environmental changes detected, about to change form. ]

Yi Qing in the sea water ball opened her eyes wide, trying to get out of the water in a hurry.

This is the characteristic of a mermaid. If you are in a suffocating environment in human form, your body will instinctively turn on survival mode, that is, automatically turn back into a mermaid.

Pearl was quiet for a while, and some sea snakes noticed something strange, and came over to check quietly, and happened to find a mermaid squeezed out of the seawater mass wrapped in aquatic plants, and fell under the boulder, with a very conspicuous silver tail.

At this time, the soldiers in charge of guarding the pearl came late, and heard a sea snake shouting: "There is a fish!"

Yi Qing turned pale with fright, covered the tail of the fish with his robe, turned back to his legs and followed the dim line of sight The corner quickly fled.

And Zhuzhu was alarmed by Yi Qing, and saw the soldiers chasing after her, shaking her tentacles violently.

It lifted the opening at the bottom of its body, stuffed Mingshu in, turned around and rolled twice, swept away a few balls of sea water and stuck to its body, floated up and swam far away.

-Mingshu

is inside Pearl's body, all he can see is white, it feels like dry soft leather, still warm, there is a small opening on the side, and some fresh air comes in from time to time.

He wouldn't really be eaten, would he? Ming shrank in the corner, feeling that Pearl was leading him away.

After a long time, Ming Shu was still safe and sound, and did not feel any discomfort.

The external shaking and vibration gradually stopped, the small opening on the side opened, and a familiar tentacle came in and wrapped Mingshu around.

Pearl moves gently, sending Mingshu out of the body, and slowly puts it on the ground.

Ming Shu supported the tentacles to stabilize his figure, and looked around.

Here is a wide sandy land, surrounded by a circle of rocks, with many aquatic plants, corals and other plants growing, and there is a large transparent water tank not far away, and there is no one around.

Pearl brought Mingshu back, she seemed very happy, even more excited than when she first met him, she kept rubbing her tentacles against him.

Mingshu was almost knocked down by it, and forced a smile: "Is this where you live?"

Is it the tower that Yi Qing mentioned? He is not familiar with this place at all, so he has to be careful.

But as long as Pearl doesn't treat him as a reserve...then he should be safe for the time being.

Pearl's thin tentacles encircled Mingshu's wrist, then let go of him, and turned to the water tank.

It propped itself up with its tentacles, aimed at the position of the water tank, and jumped up with all its strength.

The water tank was far from being able to accommodate its body, Ming Shu had no time to react, and saw the pearl suddenly shrink in mid-air.

With a "plop", a small white jellyfish half the size of a palm fell into the water tank and swam around quickly.

Mingshu approached the water tank, and the little jellyfish came out of the water, stretched out a tentacle to him and shook it. "So you can still get smaller," Mingshu said in amazement, and touched Pearl

's "head".

Come up, breaking through the water like a small white fish.

Mingshu played with it for a while, but still no one came over.

He guessed that this is where Pearl lives. According to Yi Qing's description, the sea snakes will take a detour when they encounter Pearl, and they probably won't come here to disturb it.

In this way, Mingshu is also safe.

There were some algae lamps around, emitting a faint warm light. Ming Shu sat down by the water tank and yawned.

He left without sleeping well on the last night of the first dungeon, was pulled in here again, and hasn't had much rest until now.

Ming Shu tilted her head against the water tank, she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, and fell asleep in a daze.

The little jellyfish in the water tank swam to him and rubbed against him across the water tank. They moved a small pink house from the other end and got into it to lie down.

That night Ming Shu didn't sleep very well, she woke up twice by leaning against the cold water tank, and finally lay down on the sand, barely fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, it was already daytime at the bottom of the sea, and there were wisps of light flickering among the surging sea water at the top.

Before the pearls in the water tank woke up, Ming Shu sat up, feeling a burst of unbearable hunger in her belly.

He hadn't eaten all day, not even drinking serious water.

Mingshu looked around, looking for something to eat.

Ordinary fish and other creatures could not come in. There were a few very small shrimps wandering in a clump of coral. Mingshu looked at it for a while, but decided to give up.

He tried the aquatic plants around him, but couldn't swallow them.

Ming Shu had no choice but to go further, and found a plant with small purple fruits in front of him.

He stepped forward to pick one off, mustering up the courage to try it.

At this moment, there were sounds of footsteps approaching nearby.

"Over there!"

"Stop him quickly! Don't let him slip in!"

Ming Shu immediately dodged and hid behind a boulder one person tall, and saw a short figure running away in a hurry, followed by several sea snakes dressed as soldiers. Reluctant.

The short man lost to the soldiers who were chasing him and was quickly caught.

A soldier kicked him hard and stepped on his back: "That's him?"

Another soldier replied: "Yes, sneaky, it must be a spy who got in with the mermaids!"

The short man begged for mercy: "I'm wronged, I'm not a mermaid..."

The soldier sneered, "Whether I'm wronged or not, you'll know in a while." The

sea snake soldier lifted him up by the back of his neck, brought him to the nearest large clump of aquatic plants, and directly His face was pressed into the sea water.

The short man struggled desperately, and the splashed water rose upwards, but more overflowed from the bottom of the fine sand.

The feeling of suffocation made him very painful, the fabric of his legs cracked, and his legs became a fish tail.

The sea snake soldier looked disgusted, threw the short man away, and said to his companion: "Lock him up first, and throw him to the reef area to feed the octopuses tomorrow.

" Chains bound the hands.

His face was gray and his eyes were full of despair.

Ming Shu saw this scene in his eyes, and hid in the corner uneasily.

As expected, sea snakes hate mermaids very much. Once they are caught, they will basically die.

I don't know if the short man is a player or a mermaid npc. If he is a player, judging from the soldiers' reactions, his faction value must be very low.

Although Mingshu triggered two random missions, the rewards were not low, but he didn't do any of them... The current faction value is still 0.

The first one is definitely impossible, and as for the second one...he doesn't know where to find the red-spotted juvenile fish.

Ming Shu was worrying, and the sea serpent soldiers escorted the short man back into human form to leave. When he passed the boulder where he was hiding, a soldier stopped suddenly.

The tip of his nose twitched, looking keenly at the boulder.

The companion on the side asked: "What's the matter?"

The Sea Snake soldier was puzzled: "There seems to be a strange smell here."

He said as he walked slowly towards the boulder.

Ming Shu's heart beat faster, he held his breath and dared not move.

He had no place to hide, and if the sea snake came over, he would definitely see him.

Ming Shu was very disturbed, silently praying for them to leave quickly.

Or he would run away in the direction of the pearl for a while, I don't know if there is a chance...

What Ming Shu prayed for did not happen. The sea snake saw that a fruit was missing from the top of a nearby black eggplant tree. His expression changed, and he quickly walked around to the boulder. back.

Seeing Mingshu, Sea Snake said sharply, "Who are you!"

Ming Shu immediately turned around to run away, but several other sea snakes surrounded him and blocked his way, staring at him covetously.

"I..." In desperation, Ming Shu lied, "I came to see Pearl. I was a little scared when I saw you, so I hid..."

When he heard Pearl, several sea snakes showed surprise .

"To see the pearl?" A sea snake didn't seem to believe it, "Are you looking for death?"

Who didn't know that the leader's pet was upset and the house was torn down by you, and there were still people who wanted to see it.

The other sea snake looked at Ming Shu, and its eyes fell on his delicate facial features.

He hesitated, and said in his companion's ear: "Isn't he the beauty who paid tribute to the leader a few days ago?"

I heard that some time ago, the nobles in the northern city sent some beauties over, there were men and women, it was an arrangement come to serve the chief.

Ming Shu is so beautiful, and he is not afraid of death to appear here, maybe it is true.

Several sea snakes glanced at each other, and basically felt that this guess was correct.

Ming Shu carefully observed their expressions, not sure if he had fooled around.

The sea snake soldier at the front approached, glanced at him up and down, and raised his hand: "Take him to the front hall and confirm with the leader."

This is the central city, and the soldiers can't let go of any suspicious target, even if they are clearly Shu's appearance can be deceptive and should not be taken lightly.

Ming Shu's heart sank, he still couldn't fool them.

He looked in the direction he came from, it was quiet over there, Pearl probably hadn't woken up yet.

Facing several sea snake soldiers, Ming Shu forced a smile: "Okay, I'll go with you."

He also heard the conversation of the sea snakes just now.

Now he either looks for an opportunity to escape on the road, or he is looking forward to the leader of the sea snake. He hasn't seen the beauty who paid tribute to him very much, and he is not sure about Mingshu's identity. Maybe he can delay a little longer.

But Mingshu felt that both of these situations had little hope.

He bowed his head and followed behind the soldiers, making full mental preparations.

In the worst case, he would spend one life point. When he comes back next time, he avoids the pearls and works on missions on the edge of the territory. With a few pieces of information from Yi Qing, he can gain some faction value.

The previous short man was taken to another direction by two sea snake soldiers, and when he left, he cried for his father and mother, which made Mingshu even more frightened.

Passing through the sandy ground in the shape of a corridor, the soldiers brought Ming Shu to the front hall.

It is said to be the front hall, but it is actually a garden-like place, surrounded by various brightly colored corals, with a pavilion made of giant fish bones in the middle, and a figure in a black robe is sitting inside.

"Chief," the soldier saluted respectfully and explained his purpose.

"The subordinates don't dare to believe it, please make a decision."

"Beauty?"

A slightly familiar voice sounded.

Before Ming Shu had time to react, several Sea Snake soldiers backed away to the two sides, and a piece of clothes embroidered with gold trim came into view.

The tall figure approached, and a pair of cold hands stretched out, pinching Ming Shu's chin and forcing him to raise his head.

The rumored leader of the sea snake stood in front of Mingshu. He wore a mask covering most of his face. His eyes were lowered, and he cast a cold gaze.
