Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 231 The Forbidden Land of the Merman Clan

Deep in the sea, there is an inconspicuous isolated island.

When the sun set on the sea level, Zhou Yu and Chang'e flew to the isolated island together.

After turning around a few times, Zhou Yu couldn't help admiring: "As expected of the ancient clan, the organ design is so ingenious."

Here is the entrance to the Shark Race territory.

After Zhou Yu's observation, the formation at the entrance can be called a unique combination of various techniques and sealing methods.

Thinking about it, it was through the continuous improvement of generations of mermaids that it reached its current state.

"It's a pity, after all, it was invaded by those extraterrestrial demons."

"Yes, there is nothing absolutely perfect in the world."

Zhou Yu sighed.

Although the formations arranged by the Merman Clan are incomparably exquisite, as long as they are formations, they are arranged according to certain rules and cannot be perfect.

Unless, make a deadly formation, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in.

Then there is no point.

"It stands to reason that those demons don't know much about the formations in our world, and they are unlikely to crack such an exquisite formation.

I think maybe someone is helping in secret. "

"It should be a master of the magic way. There are also many masters who are proficient in formations in the magic way. Most of them broke the formation together through the cooperation of the two parties."

To say that it is broken, in fact, it is not broken.

Even if Zhou Yu were to break the formation, he would be fine.

The reason why this formation is said to be exquisite is because this formation skillfully utilizes the power of heaven and earth, the power of the sea.

This island looks like an island, but it is actually a formation center, which can absorb a lot of aura around it, like a living body, and even has a certain amount of wisdom.

It can change the law of the formation at any time according to the situation. Once the formation is damaged, a large amount of spiritual energy in the formation will be repaired in time.

In other words, this array has the magical function of self-healing.

This put an end to the method of using violence to break the formation to the greatest extent.

Some formations are difficult to crack, but as long as you meet a powerful master, you can continue to attack with brute force on the periphery.

Just like water dripping through water, one day the formation will be forcibly broken through.

But this array is not good, attacking from the outside, even if the array suffers a certain amount of damage, it can recover by itself without the need for someone to repair it.

Therefore, the method of water dripping through water will not work.

The only way is to take advantage of the loopholes in the formation.

Although this formation can switch its rules according to the situation, it still has certain rules after all.

As long as you master its rules and grasp the timing and timing, it is not impossible to enter the center of the formation.

Just when Zhou Yu and Chang'e were planning to join hands to break through the formation in order to sneak in, Zhou Yu's expression changed suddenly, and he said in a low voice: "The formation is fluctuating, so hide first."

So, the two quickly disappeared.

Sure enough, not long after, two figures emerged from the nearby sea.

"Shark Race?"

Zhou Yu's expression couldn't help but change.

"That's right, it's indeed the shark race..."

While speaking, the two sharks, a man and a woman, suddenly dived into the water and disappeared.

"Follow!"

Chang'e said something in a low voice, her figure flashed, and she also dived into the sea.

The mermaids naturally have inherent advantages in the sea, and their senses are much sharper in the sea than on land.

However, after all, Zhou Yu and Chang'e are beyond the existence of mortals, and it is almost impossible to find them.

Along the way, the two sharks were very careful, watching their surroundings from time to time, and kept making turns.

It is estimated that one is to prevent people from being followed, and the other is to avoid places where enemy targets may appear.

After following for hundreds of miles, the two sharks dived into a dark trench.

This trench is like an abyss on land, unfathomable.

Once entering the trench, the temperature of the sea water becomes extremely bitter.However, this did not have much impact on Zhou Yu and the two of them, after all, they had zhenqi to protect their bodies.

Dive down along the undercurrent of the trench, and suddenly, the two sharks disappeared out of thin air.

"Ok?"

Sensing the sudden disappearance of the aura of the two, Zhou Yu was a little surprised.

"There must be an agency here."

Chang'e said something with her mind, and then began to look for the location of the mechanism.

After a while, Zhou Yu suddenly became happy: "Understood!"

While speaking, the whole person suddenly assumed an inverted posture.

Then, it disappeared.

Chang'e also immediately understood what was going on, and turned her body around...

In an instant, eyes lit up.

What appeared in front of the two of them was a valley full of flowers.

In the valley, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, and waterfalls are everywhere, like a paradise.

"I never thought there would be such a place under the sea." Zhou Yu looked around and muttered to himself.

Chang'e explained: "Actually, there are many such places in the world.
Fang, can be called a small world.

Some are independent spaces created by powerful beings using supernatural powers, while others are spaces connected to the main world formed when the heavens and the earth split. "

"Who trespassed in the Youhai Valley?"

At this time, a voice came from the air.

Obviously, it is the owner of this valley.

"Next Zhou Yu, there is another reason why he entered this valley, and he didn't intend to offend the old man."

"what reason?"

At this time, the figure of an old woman suddenly appeared, looking at Zhou Yu and the two with cold eyes.

"Come to think of it, the old man is also a mermaid, right?"

At this time, the old woman looked no different from ordinary humans, and what she said was completely understandable.

However, Zhou Yu and the others could still sense her true identity.

"What? Are you trying to kill them all?"

"Is there any misunderstanding in the old man? We are human beings, and we are enemies with those monsters."

"Then why are you sneaking up here?"

"That's because we want to talk to your mermaid clan and work together to deal with the devil.

It's just that we didn't know how to enter your territory, and we accidentally discovered your two tribesmen, so we followed you. "

The old woman took a careful look at Zhou Yu and the two before nodding her head: "It seems that the old man misunderstood you, please."

"Thank you old man."

Not long after, the old woman brought Zhou Yu and the two into a small wooden house.

"You don't look like ordinary humans, are you immortal?"

"Yeah!" Chang'e smiled and nodded.

She is indeed from the fairy clan. Although Zhou Yu has not formally entered the fairy world, his strength is already comparable to that of a real fairy, so there is no problem with the fairy clan.

"Great……"

The old woman looked surprised.

"Old man, time is running out, so I will cut to the chase and cut a long story short..."

Zhou Yu briefly talked about the current situation.

"Currently, the righteous people headed by Shushan are going all out to fight against that Youquan old monster.

However, if these extraterritorial monsters attack with all their strength, the Righteous Way will probably be hard to resist.

After many rounds of secret investigations, Fairy Chang'e finally discovered the frequent activities of those extraterritorial monsters in the deep sea.

According to Baimei Daoist's speculation, the other party may have discovered the origin of the world and intends to snatch it..."

Hearing this, the old woman's complexion changed several times, and finally she let out a long sigh.

"Shangxian is right. They really want to snatch the heart of the sea... which is what you call the origin of the world."

"Heart of the Sea?"

"Yes, its real name is the Heart of the Sea, and it can also be called the origin of this world.

If the heart of the sea is taken away by those demons, then, within a few years, the sea will dry up.

Once the sea dries up, the river will also dry up, and at that time, the whole world will become dead..."

Having said that, Zhou Yu finally understood the meaning of the origin of the world.

To put it bluntly, that is the source of water.

Once the source of water is gone, the water in this world will disappear with it.

How can everything survive without water?

At that time, everything will wither, not to mention ordinary people, even immortals will have no way to survive.

Chang'e was startled, and couldn't help but ask, "Then what is the current situation like?"

The old woman said solemnly: "It's very dangerous, otherwise, those two little guys wouldn't have come to look for the old man."

"Why is this?"

The old woman was silent for a long time before she said: "Originally, this old man never wanted to mention this matter again, but now it is about the life and death of my family, and even the life and death of all things in the world, so I can only break my oath.

Back then, the old man broke with his clansmen and swore that he would never go back.

In a blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed, and the old man has been staying in this valley for meditation.

During this period, several groups of clansmen came to persuade the old man to return, but they were all scolded by the old man.

But this time... the old man may have to break his oath..."

Although he didn't know the reason, Zhou Yu still persuaded him: "Old man, although I don't know what happened that year, and I don't know who is right and who is wrong.

However, as the old man said, right now, not only the mermaid race, but all creatures in the world are hanging by a thread.

Once those extraterrestrial monsters take away the heart of the sea, then this world will become a dead place.

Therefore, the old man should focus on the overall situation, abandon the past grievances, and join hands to deal with those demons.

By the way, the old man, I have come into contact with the siren clan, and killed many foreign monsters who controlled them.

Now, the Kraken clan is also uniting and preparing to deal with those monsters. "

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

The old woman was taken aback.

"Yes, the thing is like this..."

Chang'e told the reason.

"So that's how it is... If we have the help of the two immortals, then our hope will be even greater."

"So, the old man is willing to go back?"

Zhou Yu could tell that this old woman's cultivation was not simple, and probably not weaker than him and Chang'e.

Moreover, she must be very important to the Merman Race.

Otherwise, those two mermen would not risk their way to leave and come here to ask her to go back.

"Well, no matter what, I'm a mermaid after all, so I can't just watch my people suffer."

Next, Zhou Yu saw the two sharks before.

After the narration by the two of them, it was only now that they knew the current situation of the Xianyuren clan.

Their main territory has been lost, and they were separated by monsters from outside the territory. The clansmen resisted desperately, and nearly half of them were killed or injured.

Now, all the surviving clansmen hid in the forbidden area of ​​the clan.

Originally, no one was allowed to set foot in this forbidden place, including the patriarch.

But at the same time, there is also an ancestral precept that when the mermaids are in danger of life and death, they can use this forbidden place to take refuge temporarily.

Therefore, in desperation, the patriarch led a group of people to hide in the forbidden area.

In the depths of this forbidden place is the heart of the sea.

The group of monsters from outside the territory attacked alternately, but the protection of the forbidden area was quite strong, and the surviving clansmen were attacking from a distance inside, so it was just barely defendable.

However, the defender is weak after all, and it may be broken someday.

At that time, the Merman clan will have no way out.

"Fortunately, the attacks of those monsters outside the territory have weakened a little these days, and many monsters have left.

The patriarch and all the elders concentrated their strength and sent us out using the secret method of the clan, let us come and ask our ancestors to go back..."

The old ancestor they were talking about was that old woman.

Back then, he was recognized as a genius by the Merman Clan. In just a hundred years of practice, his strength surpassed many masters in the clan who had practiced for hundreds of years.

It's a pity that in the end, he was trapped by love and beat his lover half to death in a rage, and was severely reprimanded by the patriarch and all the elders.

Impulsively, he left the Merman Clan and swore that he would never come back in his life.

Later, some members of the tribe finally found her whereabouts and begged her to go back, but to no avail.

Thousands of years have passed, the clansmen and lovers of the past are long gone, but the old woman still keeps the vows of the past.

Although she is not in the clan, she has already become a legend of the shark clan.

After all, the years of her cultivation alone are enough to make her clan look up to her.After she left, there have been seven or eight patriarchs in the clan.

After all, even the patriarch has a limited lifespan.

Only she has almost escaped from the shackles of life and entered a new realm.

This is also the reason why the tribe begged her to go back again. Only when she goes back can she hope to fight against those foreign monsters.

Afterwards, a group of five people left the valley and arrived at the isolated island.

With the people of the Merman Race, Zhou Yu naturally didn't need to break the formation, and followed them to the place where the Merman Race had lived for countless years.

It's just that this place has become a stronghold for foreign monsters.

Zhou Yu observed secretly, and found that there were at least a hundred existences called big monsters in this place, and the other little monsters and little monsters were nothing.

Under absolute strength, quantity does not represent strength.

Just like a large group of ants, it only takes one fire to burn them all.

In other words, the key is that there are more than a hundred big monsters, as long as these guys are dealt with, the next step will be easy.

Of course, this is not the full strength of the opponent, there are still some who don't know where to hide.

Next, the three discussed in low voices for a while.

In the end, Zhou Yu volunteered to lure the enemy, so that the old woman and Chang'e could enter the forbidden area first, meet with the mermaid clan, and then join forces to launch a counterattack.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A group of monsters are still attacking the protection of the forbidden area alternately.

Suddenly, a ray of light flashed across the sky, and a huge sword glowing with blue light descended from the sky, like a dragon diving in an abyss, destroying the dead and killing dozens of monsters in an instant.

"not good!"

"Someone invaded!"

This group of monsters is also ridiculous, they are obviously invading, but they actually say the opposite.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, there was another loud bang, Zhou Yu finally appeared, and slapped heavily.

With this palm, he used Qi to control the mountains and rivers, and the power was at least increased several times.

The palm shadow was wrapped in a turbulent air current, and it hit the ground, spreading over a radius of tens of feet.

In an instant, dozens of monsters were killed or injured.

Of course, those who died were almost all small monsters, and those who were at the level of big monsters were not so easy to die.
