Chapter 55: The Little Mermaid Under the Sea (18)

[Private chat] Xia Zhu: Did you see it?

[Private chat] Xia Zhu: The leader of the sea snake wants to come to the mermaid clan!

Players will not like this plot direction.

After finally returning from the perilous sea snake clan with venom, the sea snake clan's role is not over yet.

The plot description didn't make it clear whether the leader of the sea snake could discover Silver Tail's disguise, but said it was very possible.

Half of the mermaids currently participating in the election are players disguised with venom. When the leader of the sea snake came and saw... that scene is simply unimaginable.

Mingshu turned off all system messages, and her mind was in a mess.

What he was thinking about was not the plot, but the fact that Xiuqi wanted to come to the Mermaid Clan.

Compared with other players, he has one more worry, that is how he will explain the current situation when Xiu Qi sees him.

And the silver-tailed mermaid in front of me, the only npc with a name in the current plot, why does she look so similar to Xiu Qi.

And they are all very similar to Yuan Chen, including Xiu Qi's voice, the system sometimes deliberately avoids such situations, especially in the dungeons of continuous customs clearance, this should not be a coincidence.

Some conjectures that were considered impossible before all came to mind, and Ming Shu suddenly thought of Jing Shuang and Jing Chu.

In the last dungeon, the two brothers of the Jing family had a blood relationship with Yuan Chen. This may have been deliberately set by the system, but if not.

Even Jing Shuang's werewolf form and his original face are somewhat similar to Yuan Chen's...

these npcs have one thing in common, they not only look alike, but also have a high degree of affection for him.

In this dungeon, the character details cannot be viewed, and there is no initial value, and the favorability of brushing has all been converted into faction values.

But Mingshu can be sure that when Xiuju first met him, his initial favorability was at least 70.

Will the Xiyu in front of her also like him?

Xi Yu noticed Ming Shu's short-term distraction and daze. He is a black tail, and should be in the leading position at any time. If he doesn't make any further moves, Xi Yu can't be too active.

He let go of Mingshu, picked a piece of water grass and carefully wrapped the rhizome of the little blue flower, and said, "I live near here, and you can see my house when you walk around the coral bushes over there." "You will need me in the future.

" time..." Xi Yu continued, "You can come and find me at any time."

Gradually more mermaids passed by nearby, players and NPCs mixed together, Ming Shu should go back.

He nodded indiscriminately, and quickly swam away with the pearl.

Xi Yu stopped at the same spot, watching Ming Shu's hurried back, until he disappeared from his sight, then turned and left.

He returned to his own small piece of territory and planted the little blue flower in the corner.

Another mermaid NPC came over curiously and looked at it: "Xi Yu, where did this flower come from?" "

Just now I met a black tail," Xi Yu looked down at the flower, "He gave it to you."

The mermaid was surprised: "Black tail? Black Tail doesn't come here very often."

This sea area is where mermaids with light tails live, which is equivalent to the slums in the territory, and ordinary Black Tail would never set foot here, let alone send flowers to anyone.

Xi Yu had no intention of continuing this topic, and smoothed out the soil around the little blue flower.

Mingshu is indeed different from the usual Heiwei, he is delicate and beautiful, with a slender body, and his reaction when sending him flowers is also very cute. He caressed the blue petals slowly, and the mermaid

asked again: "By the way, are you really going to sign up for the successor selection?"

This, shut up wisely.

Mingshu on the other side returned to the residence, Xia Zhu was not there, maybe he had gone out too.

The pearl was held in Ming Shu's hand the whole time, and the thin tentacles fluttered in the sea water.

Only then did Ming Shu let go of it, and said in a serious tone: "From now on, don't be like that again."

Even if Xiu Qi appeared in person, Pearl shouldn't be so reckless.

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Pearl rubbed Mingshu's palm flatteringly, for fear that he would drive her away.

Mingshu lightly poked its round body with his hand: "So why? Because he looks like Xiuyun?"

Pearl is Xiuyun's pet, and she has been with him for a long time, so she should have seen his face under the mask.

The little white jellyfish was distracted, and embarrassedly swam to hide behind Mingshu's hand.

It can't beat Xiuqi, can't it beat a mermaid? And when it saw Xi Yu just now, it rushed over almost instinctively, as if Xi Yu also had a nasty aura on him.

Ming Shu couldn't bear to talk about it again, and Xi Yu didn't doubt it when he saw Pearl just now.

As long as the pearl maintains its smaller size, the bottom of the sea is so big, there are many small jellyfish like it.

At about noon, Xia Zhu came back from outside.

The selection is about to officially start, and many NPCs are very busy, so Xia Zhu went to ask for help, and in the morning, another strategy mission was created.

"It's much easier than when I was in the Sea Snake Clan," he sighed. "It seems that they are both mermaids, but they still have some racial bonuses." Xia Zhu told Ming Shu the

task that was created as usual, and Ming Shu hesitated. , also told about Xiyu.

Marine blue silk flowers are not rare, and Xia Zhu can also find one to give to Xi Yu.

Xia Zhu was extremely shocked: "15 o'clock!?"

How come the rewards of the missions that Mingshu created are so high, and Xiyu, a mermaid, is not so easy to get close to.

As early as the beginning of the dungeon, some players wanted to know which mermaid "Xiyu" in the plot is. According to the inertia of this kind of "fairy tale", this npc with a name is very likely to be the protagonist, so get to know him as soon as possible. Favorability is always good.

However, Xiyu's personality is indifferent and withdrawn. He only knows a few mermaids and never contacts strangers. Many players return without success.

Ming Shu had a strange expression: "Indifferent? Aloof?"

The Xi Yu he saw didn't seem to be like this.

"Yeah, I heard it from others," Xia Zhu said again, "and Xiyu, seems to be that npc who looks very similar to a player..." His voice gradually weakened, and the more he thought about it, the more

incredible he felt.

Mingshu's luck is too good, right? After defeating the leader of the sea snake and abducting the pet of the leader of the sea snake, it is still so easy to get Xiyu's strategy mission.

This dungeon seems to be tailor-made for him, and about Xi Yu's appearance, Xia Zhu also always feels that there is something weird about it.

As for the Xiyu's strategy mission, why don't he try it yet...

"A player?" Ming Shu frowned, remembering the anonymous voices on the world channel after he cleared the first copy, "Which player?" Xia

Zhu But he shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't been in the dungeon for a long time, and I don't know many people."

Asking too much may be annoying, and he didn't pay much attention to information that has nothing to do with the dungeon mission.

Zhuzhu caught a few small fish for the two of them, Mingshu lowered his head to catch them, and opened the system panel to find out the friend list.

He seemed to ask Xia Zhu unintentionally: "Do you know who is No. 1 in the ranking?"

At that time, someone on the World Channel mentioned the change in the No. After taking a look at the leaderboard, he was pulled into the second instance of the dungeon.

In addition to the various abnormalities after clearing the level of the dungeon, Ming Shu intuitively felt that there might be a connection between these.

"I know this." Xia Zhu ate a small fish, "It's called Sang Yin."

Ming Shu shook his hand, staring at a strange yet familiar name in the friend list.

--Sang Yin.

But when some uncertain guesses were confirmed, Mingshu was even more confused, not knowing where to start to sort out the clues.

He responded, ate the fish silently, and opened the chat box with Sang Yin.

[Private Chat] Ming Shu: Hello?

Players who are in the dungeon mission cannot communicate with outsiders, and various leaderboard data and channel chat cannot be opened.

If Sang Yin is not in this dungeon, he will not receive this message.

Until Ming Shu finished eating all the small fish, he did not receive any reply from Sang Yin.

Xia Zhu looked at Ming Shu hesitating to speak, but finally couldn't help but said: "Well, when will the leader of the sea snake come..."

Ming Shu didn't take the initiative to mention it, but he was still a little worried.

Ming Shu sighed: "En."

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, throwing away all the messy thoughts in his mind.

The task in front of him is the most important thing. Besides, he also wants to know if there are other things about Xiyu that he feels familiar with.

--Xia

Zhu didn't do Xiyu's strategy mission. The stage of completing the campaign mission lasted for a long time, and they had a lot of opportunities to increase the favorability of npcs.

On the second day, a dull horn sounded on time in the mermaid territory, indicating that the representative election had officially started.

Then comes the first task, the mermaids need to go to the dark sea area in the north of the territory to retrieve a black coral branch unique to this sea area, and the time limit is three days.

There are often current eddies in the dark sea area, and when it is the strongest, it can even tear up a medium-sized shark on the spot. Mermaids with weaker physical strength dare not approach it.

The retrieved coral branches can be handed over to the mermaid npc at the registration point for registration. I heard that the subsequent tasks will only become more and more difficult.

Ming Shu discussed with Xia Zhu and decided to let Pearl try it later in the afternoon.

They deliberately chose a remote route and came to the outskirts of the Dark Sea.

Ming Shu held the pearl in his hands and told it carefully: "Safety first, mission second. If you encounter danger, and run away when it grows bigger, be careful." The

pearl shook its tentacles, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Mingshu touched the top of its canopy: "We'll wait here for you to come back."

Zhuzhu got the command to start, swam into the sea quickly with a "swish", and disappeared in front of her eyes like a ray of white light.

Xia Zhu was also very worried: "Don't be discovered..."

After waiting for about ten minutes, the small figure of Pearl appeared in sight, its speed was still very fast, and the tentacles behind it were wrapped around two black coral branches .

It almost didn't stop the car, crashed into Mingshu's arms, stopped and handed the coral branch to Mingshu as if offering a treasure.

Xia Zhu praised sincerely: "The pearl is so powerful."

It is so small, but it is very convenient.

"Did no other mermaid see you?" Ming Shu quietly looked around, took the coral branch, and handed one to Xia Zhu.

At the same time, both of them received a system message.

[Reminder: It is detected that the item in your hand is a gift from the non-merfolk, please follow the prompts in the main mission to change the source of the item. 】

Immediately afterwards, the coral branches in Ming Shu and Xia Zhu's hands were shattered into powder, mixed in the sea water and disappeared.

Ming Shu stared blankly at the empty palm: "What's going on..."

Xia Zhu reacted first, and raised his hand to his forehead: "We can only accept the coral branch from the mermaid tribe."

The description in the mission is "find a mermaid who is willing to complete the campaign mission for them." They can only accept the help of the mermaid npc, and they may not even be able to get the props they got.

"I'm careless..." Xia Zhu's mood can't be expressed in words, "No wonder I saw a lot of black-tailed people with their heads down at noon. I thought they were worried that the mission was too dangerous." There is no punishment for not completing the mission, but the score for this item will be zero

. This result also does not match the description of Silver Tail in the plot.

"Then what should we do now?" Ming Shu held the pearl and hid it back in her hair, "Let's try to find an NPC?"

Since the pearl can't help... the first face that popped up in Ming Shu's mind was the one she met yesterday Xiyu.

If there is any connection between Xiyu and Xiujin... Will he help him almost unconditionally like Xiujin did?

Xia Zhu had the same thought as Ming Shu: "Go to Xi Yu, he will definitely help you."

He believed in Ming Shu, this was his strange intuition, and it could also be said to be his confidence in Ming Shu.

Mingshu asked: "What about you?"

"I'll think of another way, let's go back today and talk about it tomorrow," Xia Zhu thought, and said to himself, "I never said you can't threaten or lure... "

The difficulty of obtaining the mission props suddenly increased. On the way back, Xia Zhu comforted Mingshu: "Don't worry too much, I guess this first campaign mission, the vast majority of players scored zero." As the night gradually fell, the

two Turning back the same way, he didn't notice a figure quietly following not far behind.

Yi Qing stared at the slightly familiar figure in front of him, thinking that he must have seen it right.

That was Ming Shu, who was with him, who had just returned from the Dark Sea.

At that time, Mingshu was taken away by Pearl, and he was hunted down by sea snake soldiers after his identity was exposed, and he almost died.

He was forced to leave the territory of the Sea Snake Clan, and has been secretly lurking on the periphery. Some time ago, he found an opportunity to kill a player and take away the Sea Snake venom from him.

He originally thought that Ming Shu was also dead, but he saw his name appearing in the system bulletin.

This seemingly weak and innocent newcomer was able to survive in Pearl's hands, and he was the only one who obtained high-quality venom.

Yi Qing had a hunch that Mingshu was not easy. He was the first player Mingshu met after entering the dungeon. They even added friends, so they had a deal. He had to make good use of this relationship.

He followed Ming Shu and Xia Zhu, wanting to see where they lived, planning to create a chance encounter.

Yi Qing continued to follow under the cover of the night and the reef, without being spotted by Ming Shu and Xia Zhu ahead.

When he quickened his pace, a silver-tailed mermaid suddenly appeared and stopped in front of him.

Yi Qing felt guilty and was startled: "You, what's the matter with you?"

He recognized this mermaid as Xi Yu, the protagonist of the story that all players guessed, and he never talked to strangers. What happened tonight...

Xi Yu stared at Yi Qing indifferently, with a trace of inquiry in his eyes: "Are you following him?"

Yi Qing immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He realized that he had overreacted, and then slowed down and explained: "You misunderstood , I just happened to pass by..."

Xi Yu saw at a glance that he was lying.

He followed Mingshu with an impure purpose.

A cold hand reached out, grabbed Yi Qing's hair, and slammed into the rock behind.

Yi Qing exhaled in pain, but there was no third mermaid passing by, and the sound was filtered by the sea water and could not be transmitted far.

"Don't tell the truth?" Xi Yu asked again, "Why did you follow him?"

Xi Yu's strength was surprisingly strong, not the strength a silver-tailed mermaid should have at all. Yi Qing pressed half of her face against the rock, and hurriedly changed her words: "I... I know him, I haven't seen him for a long time, I want to say hello..."

Of course Yi Qing wouldn't tell the truth, how could he tell an NPC his intentions, although he didn't know why Xiyu was so hostile to him, but there must be some misunderstanding...

Xiyu stared at him for two seconds, exhausted his patience. do.

He exerted force with his hands, and the waist and tail fin covered with silvery white scales turned faintly black, showing signs of gradually spreading.

Seeing this scene, Yi Qing opened his eyes wide: "You..."

He only had time to say a word before Xi Yu twisted his neck cleanly and fell down weakly.

Xi Yu raised his left hand slightly, and some small black fish with sharp teeth swam out from the darkness, gnawing on Yi Qing's body frantically.

"It's so weak..." Xi Yu murmured, the black dyed fish tail returned to its original silvery white.

At this time, strands of black liquid overflowed from Yi Qing's tail, condensed in the seawater and could not be dissolved.

After the black liquid faded out completely, the black scales on Yi Qing's tail also turned white.

A small black fish was curious, took a sip of the liquid, twitched a few moments later, and rolled up its belly.

Xi Yu took all this into his eyes and looked thoughtful.

-The

first day of the election passed, only a few mermaids turned in coral branches, and they seemed to be all NPCs.

Xia Zhu couldn't sit still, and went to inquire about the news of a few players he had just met recently: "Wait, I will tell you in private chat as soon as there is a situation."

Ming Shu didn't want to wait, and planned to go to Xiyu .

One is for the mission, and the other is to get to know him better and to confirm his guess.

He told Pearl not to run around this time, and walked quietly along the remote path.

Before reaching the destination, a horn suddenly sounded in the territory.

"Woo--"

Three times in a row, the mermaids all looked dazed, not knowing what happened.

Suddenly, the sea surged, and a fierce undercurrent rose from the far end, and a giant black snake broke through the waves.

The appearance of the giant snake seemed to have sucked away most of the light of the day, like a god on the bottom of the sea that symbolized death, shrouding the entire territory in haze.

The mermaids panicked and ran away screaming: "It's a snake! It's a sea snake!"

Ming Shu stared blankly, and was about to be hit by a mermaid in front of him, when a silver-white figure approached quickly and pulled him Protected into the arms, to hide behind the reef.

The giant snake circled in the sky and swam towards the center of the territory.

Ming Shu came back to his senses, and received Xia Zhu's news and task reminder.

[Private chat] Xia Zhu: The leader of the sea snake is really here!

[Private Chat] Xia Zhu: To be honest, I'm a little scared... I won't be discovered by him before the mission starts...

[Ding Dong--The main task is released]

[Mission 4: Pretend to join the leader of the sea snake and reach an agreement with him Cooperate to avoid being exposed]

(Task completion condition: Sea Snake camp value reaches 70)

[Private chat] Xia Zhu: ... I can't do this task, just let me die
