Chapter 432 Why does this stone look somewhat familiar?
The mermaid looked at the spirit with a puzzled expression, her jade hand gently touching her red lips, every move captivating.
"Strategist! We've found the legendary mermaid?" The demon spirit wore a half-face mask, his excited expression hidden behind it.
"Look at that long, shimmering fish tail, and then look at that upper body that's indistinguishable from a human's. That's right, this is a mermaid. Also, plug your ears first; the mermaid's voice has a hallucinogenic effect." Ye Nanxiao unleashed a faint surge of soul power, slowly coating the surface of the demon spirit's body.
The mermaid's eyes were filled with curiosity. She first looked at the demon spirit carefully for a few moments, then fixed her gaze on Ye Nanxiao and stopped moving.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
The sound was as clear and crisp as pearls falling onto a jade plate, making it exceptionally pleasant to listen to.
Just as the mermaid began to speak, the demon spirit and Ye Nanxiao keenly sensed a strong fluctuation of soul power approaching from the sea surface.
"A powerful soul beast is approaching!" the demon spirit transmitted, as a black shadow spread out beneath its feet, staining the ground black as if it were ink.
"The fact that we can see a mermaid here means that this mermaid is very likely one of the people who went out to find the opportunity needed by their clan. However, the approaching sea spirit beast is a problem. It has a very strong soul power reaction!" Ye Nanxiao looked at the sea not far away. Under the surface of the sea, a huge black shadow was swimming rapidly.
As the shadowy figure approached the island, it slowed down and floated gently beneath the surface of the sea, its beastly eyes gleaming with ferocity.
Not knowing the mermaid's attitude, nor whether the soul beast beneath the sea was friend or foe, Ye Nanxiao decided to test the mermaid's attitude first.
"This... young lady! Could you please let my companion return first?" Ye Nanxiao pointed to the horned fish that was staring adoringly at the mermaid.
"Companion? You mean it?" The mermaid pointed to the horned bream that was constantly making love calls towards her.
After listening for a while, the demon spirit secretly transmitted its voice to Ye Nanxiao, "Strategist, Big Black seems to have taken a liking to this mermaid! He wants to mate with her!"
"Yes, it seems the girl is too charming and has captivated my companion." Ye Nanxiao said somewhat awkwardly. At this moment, the Bull Horned Fish actually wanted a mermaid as its partner.
"Hehehe, I accept your praise!" the mermaid laughed, seemingly quite pleased with Ye Nanxiao's compliment.
"Holy crap! Strategist! This mermaid is absolutely gorgeous!" The demon spirit's eyes widened. He had seen beautiful humans before, including his own boss, who was also a beauty, but she paled in comparison to the mermaid before him.
"Hold on! Don't let your drool spill out! And don't think I'm going to plug your ears! Mermaid songs are also known as the voice of siren! They have the same effect as the allure of a fox!" Ye Nanxiao suppressed the urge to give the demon spirit a big punch, reminding it not to continue being affected by the mermaid's voice.
The mermaid before him was indeed beautiful. Unlike the seashell vest and seaweed skirt he had imagined, the mermaid wore a light blue, exquisitely detailed scale armor. The armor fit her perfectly, showcasing her curves. However, the faint murderous aura emanating from the scale armor made Ye Nanxiao feel a strong sense of danger.
At the same time, a soul beast lurking beneath the sea finally revealed its true form.
The seawater slowly rose up, wrapping around the soul beast like silk, briefly lifting it off the surface.
Its head is surrounded by bone-colored horn, and its thick mane is as smooth as seaweed floating in the sea. There are inverted sharp horns extending down on both sides of its face, and each of its two huge fins has three thick sharp horns. Its strong and slender tail has sharp horns, like a sharp axe.
Watching the soul beast drift away from the sea and approach the mermaid, Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but click his tongue and mutter, "Goodness, how did we encounter a soul beast that only exists in the records?"
"Yao Yao, get ready, let's make a run for it! Big Black is a sea spirit beast, he'll be fine."
Fleeing in a big car? Is it that serious?
The demon spirit did not hesitate at all in response to Ye Nanxiao's words. It slapped the ground with its left hand, and a large circular black shadow spread out, sucking the demon spirit's body into it.
"Hmph? Are you leaving already?" A look of disappointment appeared on the mermaid's delicate face, her red lips parted slightly, and a soft singing voice emanated from her.
"Traveler of the sea, let us raise our glasses together with the King of the Sea!"
The demon spirit, which was rapidly disappearing into the shadows, suddenly stiffened, and its soul skill was interrupted.
Ye Nanxiao keenly noticed a small conch shell pendant around the mermaid's neck that was emitting a faint glow. It was this thing that allowed the mermaid's song to penetrate the barrier of her soul.
"Traveler, your journey is hurried."
"Gentlemen, we mean no harm. We'd like to ask where you come from?" The mermaid stopped singing and gave Ye Nanxiao and the demon spirit a sweet smile.
"This is bad, strategist! The opponent's cultivation level seems to be higher than mine!" The demon spirit narrowed its eyes slightly, and the surrounding shadows seemed to come alive and stir restlessly.
"Judging from your intuition, this mermaid's cultivation level is at least two hundred thousand years. And do you see that sea spirit beast behind the mermaid that can fly while carrying a small amount of seawater? That thing is a fish-dragon! An extremely rare spirit beast with powerful racial talents!"
Ye Nanxiao removed the soul barrier. Since the opponent had a special magical artifact that could enhance singing ability, there was no need for defense.
"The keratin layer on their heads changes with their cultivation level, just like a flower bud turning into a full bloom. Look at this ichthyosaur's head, the keratin layer on its head is almost turning into a crown. This ichthyosaur has a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years."
"Three against two, the advantage is on the other side, and Dahei has already been captured."
Ye Nanxiao sighed, and then his soul power surged forth.
I never expected to encounter the legendary sea spirit beasts in the near sea, and there were two of them at once!
"Mermaids are about 200,000 years old, and fish-dragons are about 100,000 years old. I'll try my best to buy you five seconds. Whether you can run away, whether you become food or bait, it's up to you, Yao Yao!" Ye Nanxiao closed his eyes, and the Spirit Blooming Grass rose up and landed on Ye Nanxiao's heart, closing its petals.
Ye Nanxiao landed on the ground, and his soul body was fully revealed once again.
"Mermaid girl, what do you want to ask us? If you know, I'll tell you; if you don't, I'll run away," Ye Nanxiao said with a smile, his soul power swirling around him.
The mermaid raised her head slightly, pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Nanxiao and asked, "Did you come from the land? Can you tell me where the land is?"
"Land?" Ye Nanxiao was somewhat surprised. He could hear the longing for land in the mermaid's voice.
"You want to go onto land?"
The mermaid nodded, her small face earnest, and said, "I've been searching for land for a long time, but I've only found islands. If you know of any, please tell me, and I'll reward you!"
The fish-dragon also let out a cry and at the same time shoved the bull-horned fish away with a slap.
Ye Nanxiao stared at the mermaid's face for a while, but couldn't catch any subtle changes in expression; the other person only had a serious expression on their face.
"I did come from the land, but as you can see, my companions and I got lost at sea. I can't tell you the way to the land," Ye Nanxiao said, shaking his head. If he and the demon spirit hadn't lost their way, they wouldn't have ended up on this island, and they wouldn't have encountered the mermaids and fish-dragons.
"Oh, that's a pity. It's rare to encounter a creature from the mainland." The mermaid's face fell as she leaned against the ichthyosaur beside her, shaking her head.
"Little carp, oh little carp! When will we find land?"
One second she's a quiet, demure mermaid, the next she's a playful, whiny little girl.
"Meow!"
The ichthyosaur nudged the mermaid with its head, signaling that the mermaid shouldn't lose face in front of outsiders.
The mermaid looked at Ye Nanxiao, her gaze constantly scanning around.
"Since you come from the land, you'll surely find your way back, right? Take me and Xiao Li with you! I'm a mermaid who brings good luck!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Nanxiao frowned and narrowed his eyes, giving off the same expression as an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.
Listen to this mermaid's thought process!
I got lost before I even got to this island, and I can't even guarantee that I'll be able to find my way back to the mainland.
Why would a mermaid team up with someone she'd just met? Is she stupid, or just too naive?
"Is it possible that they feel we pose no threat to them at all?" The demon spirit seemed to have guessed what Ye Nanxiao was thinking.
"Uh, you're right." Ye Nanxiao sighed again. The opposing team had one King and one Master, and their King's IQ wasn't online yet.
After hesitating for a moment, and seeing the ichthyosaur touch its claws, Ye Nanxiao said, "This...mermaid, it's fine if you want to go in the same direction as us, but I'm not sure if the place I'm going is the same place you want to go."
"So you agree? Thank you!" the mermaid said happily, her smile a little silly.
"My name is Jingli! This is my friend Xiaoli!" Jingli turned to the side, hugging Yulong, and introduced himself and Yulong's names.
"He is Chen Yao, and I am Gu Ye," Ye Nanxiao said, pointing to the demon spirit and himself.
Both parties tacitly refrained from revealing their real names, nor did they consider whether the other's name was a pseudonym.
The demon spirit's accumulated power finally broke through the influence of the mermaid whale's song and retracted the shadowy area beneath its feet.
"Then we're friends in the same industry! We're friends, right?" Whale Hat blinked her big, sparkling eyes at Ye Nanxiao.
"Yes, we are friends." Ye Nanxiao felt that the mermaid named Jingli not only longed for the land, but also had a strong attachment to the word "friend".
"My friend, I'd like to ask you first what your purpose is in searching for land," Ye Nanxiao asked.
Without hesitation, Whale Hat spoke directly, "Little Carp and I went to land to find someone! Someone who threw a stone at my face back then!"
As he spoke, Whale Hat took out a blue stone, with water elemental ripples swirling around it.
"This stone looks familiar?" Ye Nanxiao glanced at it and found that the stone looked somewhat familiar.
It looks like something Gu Yuena made during her cultivation.
