dark blood

Led by Yuyue, Xiao Yu entered the island. There was a palace on Crescent Island. Its shape and style were completely different from human buildings. The whole palace was built on the beach, and a quarter of it was submerged in the water. Plump, contoured, snow-white all over, with clear lines, like a big shell on the beach.

Under the leadership of Yuyue, Xiao Yu entered the interior of the palace and walked on the water surface. The luxurious white jade pillars are all pure handmade products, with very few traces of magical processing, full of artistic atmosphere.Above the palace is a transparent crystal roof. It is evening now, the setting sun is reflected by the crystal, and the palace is shrouded in brilliant orange, giving it a dreamlike beauty.

Yuyue's return surprised many mermaids, and the news spread immediately, and soon an elder with a white beard and several mermaid elders went out to meet Xiao Yu.

Elder Whitebeard went to Wentian City during Xiao Yu's retreat, but he never met Xiao Yu. This person is extremely powerful, with the power of the middle stage of the fifth order. He has stayed in this realm for at least 200 years, and he is very close to the late stage of the fifth order. Only one step away.Xiao Yu fought against him without using the final hole card, and at most remained undefeated.For those of the fifth rank, the difference in strength of each rank is several times or even ten times. Even for Xiao Yu, the challenge of leapfrogging is not small.This kind of strong man in a high position must possess unique skills and hold a lot of treasures, especially formidable and difficult to deal with, so it should not be underestimated.

Among the elders who came to hear the news, Jiao was also among them.

Elder Jiao saw Xiao Yu at a glance, and the shock on his face was beyond words.Xiao Yu didn't hide his aura, judging from the strength he displayed, he had at least the power of the early stage of the fifth rank, and he was actually at the same level as Elder Jiao!Xiao Yu's aura is strong, and he is afraid that his mental strength is far superior to Elder Jiao's, and his strength is even stronger than weaker.

"Third Elder!" Yuyue's eyes turned red and she rushed towards Elder Whitebeard, "I'm back! I'm back! Second Elder is dead, all of them are dead..."

Elder Whitebeard sighed and said: "I already know, I don't know why, the top-secret plan was revealed, and King Hippo is also investigating. The sneak attack did not succeed, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost, and more than 30 five soldiers from Crystal Sea were lost." Jie elders. Blame us for our wrong decision, eager to let the Haige tribe rush to make meritorious service, perform well in front of His Majesty, and send twelve elders to follow up the battle at a time, but in the end, hey...forget it, it’s good that you can come back.”

Yuyue said: "I want to join the battle again!"

The white-bearded elder said with a look of embarrassment: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. With the loss of twelve elders, the foundation of the Haisong tribe has been severely damaged again. King Hippo thinks that the Haisong tribe lacks generals and cannot lead the army. The rest of us The 80 troops have all been merged into other tribes, and now the Haisong tribe has no other troops except for the most basic mermaid army, and the mermaid army is also restricted from going out!"

Yuyue couldn't believe that King Hippo actually took away the army of the Haisong tribe!Although she is not a high-ranking member of the Haisong tribe, she is indeed one of the most potential mermaid backs. She is very popular in the tribe on weekdays and is very well-informed.The Haige tribe has been on the decline for the past 200 years. There are hardly any young people with potential. They can only rely on the support of the elders of the older generation. ri is twilight.

But the foundation of the millennium is still there, and it cannot be easily collapsed.When the war broke out at this time, the most noble and powerful patriarch of the Haisong tribe died, and the loss of soldiers and generals on the battlefield was definitely a very fatal blow to the current Haisong tribe.After the young patriarch succeeded to the throne, the situation in the Crystal Sea became more turbulent, and the elders were killed one after another. Since joining the war, they won less and lost more, which made King Hippo very dissatisfied.In order to restore the dignity and honor of the Haisong tribe, most of the sneak attack army was composed of the Haisong tribe. As long as they destroyed the rear of Podong Sai, it would definitely be a great achievement. Unexpectedly, the plan was exposed and the entire army was wiped out by an ambush.

King Hippo believed that the Haisong tribe was too damaged, so he took away the subordinate legions of the Haisong tribe and led other tribes to participate in the war. This basically disqualified the Haisong tribe from participating in the war. This is the only way for the tribe to restore their honor. If they lose their qualifications to fight, a large number of new tribes will emerge after the war.There is a high probability that the Song of the Ocean will be replaced or annexed. After all, the current Song of the Ocean is no longer worthy of the rich sea area it occupies in terms of strength and merit.

"Hey, you go down to rest first. We'll discuss this matter later." The elder with white beard patted the back of Yuyue's hand, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Yu. He found that this person was not weak, and he was not someone to wait for, so he asked : "Is this one your friend?"

Yuyue hurriedly said: "He is brother Xiao Yu, thanks to his help, I can come back. This time I came to the tribe, specially to help Patriarch Shuilan."

Jiao whispered in the ear of the elder with white beard: "He knows Xiao Yu as Shui Lan said. When I saw him more than a month ago, he was still at the peak of the fourth order. In less than two months, he not only broke through the bottleneck, Two levels more!"

"Your Excellency is asking Xiao Yu, the city lord of Tiancheng?" The elder with a white beard showed surprise, "I am Bai Xiao, the elder of the Haige tribe. I was originally the third elder, but because the second elder died in battle, I am now the second elder of the Haige tribe. I heard Shui Lan talk about you, and I was lucky enough to meet you today, Your Excellency is indeed a hero of the present age, you are truly a formidable future generation!"

"Second Elder, thank you." Xiao Yu clasped his fists and asked, "As Yuyue said, I came to the tribe to help Shui Lan and Song of the Ocean, why didn't Shui Lan appear?"

Bai Xiao's eyes lit up and said: "The patriarch is negotiating with the envoy sent by His Majesty, I'm afraid he will come back later. It's getting dark, why don't you have a meal with me, you can discuss major issues, and the old man can recommend other people for you. Elder."

Xiao Yu was really surprised that this old man was so enthusiastic when he met him for the first time.

Could it be that Shui Lan has revealed the relationship between Xiao Yu and her?

Xiao Yu immediately guessed this point. Bai Xiao and Jiao seem to have a good relationship, and Elder Jiao is Shui Lan's closest clan uncle. He has known about this for a long time. Will Bai Xiao get the news from Elder Jiao?Anyway, Bai Xiao's attitude is very good, obviously he has no intention of objecting to Xiao Yu and Shui Lan being together.

As night fell, the gems inlaid in the mermaid palace replaced sunlight for illumination, and the palace was like half day, with the transparent ceiling above the head, one could clearly see the brilliant starlight in the sky.

Xiao Yu was arranged to have a banquet in a huge hall. The floor of the hall was covered with this layer of film, and the water was isolated underneath, making it soft and comfortable to walk on.Through the transparent film, a large number of fish can be seen swimming and playing in the water. Occasionally, one or two psychic white dolphins touch the film with their noses. The pillars on both sides are hollow and connect with the bottom of the water, and fish often swim there. into the column.There is a wide red carpet on the ground, with dining places on both sides. The tables, chairs and tableware are all carved from crystal, which is luxurious and vulgar, showing the characteristics of mermaid life.

People who dine here are all elders. There are [-] seats in the hall, but only more than [-] people are seated, each of them is an old woman or an old man, with gray hair and old age, but you can vaguely see the glory of the Haige tribe. .

Xiao Yu was arranged to sit in a relatively front seat.

Bai Xiao sat down on the first seat on the right, and the first seat on the left was vacant, which was probably the position of the Great Elder. There were more than a dozen steps on the red carpet, and on it was the most luxurious main seat, which was completely carved out of red crystal. It was chiseled, and every detail is impeccable, but it is far more magnificent than the dragon chair of the human emperor, and it must be the position of the patriarch.

Xiao Yu waited patiently for a few minutes, and an old woman who was almost too old to walk slowly came from the front, leaning on a cane, staggering, and might fall to the ground at any time.After walking for 5 minutes in a short distance of more than [-] meters, he finally sat down in the position of the Great Elder, his cloudy old eyes swept over everyone present, and finally fell on Xiao Yu.

A powerful coercion erupted.

The old appearance is just an appearance, and a roaring dragon is hidden inside the dying body.

Xiao Yu felt as if he was being stared at by a giant dragon!

"This old guy... is at least on the same level as Xueya and Can Yan, and he is indeed the great elder of the Haisong tribe."

Bai Xiao saw that the elder was intimidating, but Xiao Yu was sitting upright, as if he had nothing to investigate, and immediately said: "Elder, everyone has arrived, do you think..."

The Great Elder nodded, opened his mouth with almost no teeth, and said indistinctly: "Start the ceremony, the dishes are ready."

Xiao Yu has a little understanding of the eating rules of the mermaid tribe. Dinner is the main meal of the mermaid tribe. Before the mermaid dinner, there are usually some rituals, including simple sacrifices to the sea god, and mermaid songs and dances, etc.When the dishes are served, the dishes are served one by one. Usually, more than 200 dishes are needed for a formal dinner, and each dish is served on a large plate made of jade. Mermaids often need a whole night to eat dinner.

This is related to the habits and characteristics of the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe pays attention to the quality of life, pursues artistic creation and spiritual life, and the communication between tribesmen is very frequent and rich. It doesn't matter what you eat for the dinner party. environment.It can be an exchange on artistic creation, or a discussion on major and important matters.

After the brief ceremony, several mermaids played soft music, and the mermaid dinner officially began.

The elder didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point: "Today's dinner is held for you personally by Bai Xiao, so that the elders in the clan can get to know you well. I heard that you are a good friend of the Shuilan clan leader?"

Xiao Yu replied, "Not bad."

The Great Elder smiled dryly and said calmly, "Are you just a friend?"

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and in just two sentences, he got some information.First, his relationship with Shui Lan may have been exposed.Second, the Great Elder is not the same as Bai Xiao and Jiao.Third, the Great Elder didn't trust him very much, and was even a little hostile.

The mermaid tribe is hospitable and hospitable, Xiao Yu is sitting here as an ally no matter what, according to the nature of the mermaid tribe, it shouldn't be here.Most likely it is because of Shui Lan.

Xiao Yu didn't answer directly: "If the Great Elder wants to know something, you might as well ask directly."

"Hehehe..." The Great Elder laughed, put aside the topic just now, and continued: "I heard that you are here to help the Haige Tribe?"

"Exactly."

The Great Elder asked again: "Then how many troops did you bring?"

Xiao Yu said bluntly, "It's just me."

"One person? Do you know what kind of enemy we are facing?" The elders looked at each other, and the first elder laughed twice, "Shui Lan is one of the best mermaid descendants. There are countless suitors in the West Sea, and even in the South China Sea. There are people who admire her, and among them there are quite a few young heroes like you. You are not from the Hai clan, so it is understandable for you to be ignorant of current affairs. I advise you not to get too hot-headed, lest you lose your life in the end, and the gain outweighs the loss."
