Ming Shu had no time to take care of Xia Zhu and the newly released task, and turned his head to look at the direction in which the giant snake was walking.

He lost consciousness for a period of time after he died from the arrow, and had never seen the form of Xiukin's giant snake, but before seeing the message from Xia Zhu, he had an intuition that the giant snake was Xiukin.

Xia Zhu said that Xiu Qi disappeared after slaughtering dozens of sea snakes in the clan, but he still came here after receiving an invitation from the mermaid clan.

In dungeon 1, even though the actual development was different from the plot prompt, the final ending was the same. Ming Shu had already made preparations for the Xiuhuihui.

He probably thought he was dead... Otherwise, he should have chased him immediately.

The main quest also allowed the players to come into contact with the leader of the sea snake, and now Ming Shu couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.

When he saw Xiu Qi, how should he explain it? He was unscathed by the poison, his tail and hair turned black, and the pearl became his pet.

Seeing his fishtail, Xiuju must be able to guess why he took the venom. Will he be angry... "

Are you okay?"

A familiar voice pulled Mingshu back from his trance, and he turned around. Only then did he realize that it was Xi Yu who escorted him to the corner.

The gap in the middle of the reef is narrow, just enough to accommodate two mermaids. Xiyu turned his back to the outside, and no other mermaids noticed that they were hiding here.

Ming Shu looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar face, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, shaking his head: "It's okay."

Maybe it was because he looked at Xi Yu too intently, as if hiding something on his mind, Xi Yu said softly Said: "You seem to always look at me like this."

In fact, they only met twice, but Ming Shu felt guilty, and immediately looked away, pretending to be nonchalant: "Really..."

Xi Yu glanced down Glancing at Mingshu's reddish ears, he changed the subject: "The giant snake just now seems to be the leader of the sea snake clan. Why did he come here?"

The mermaid and the sea snake are peaceful on the surface, but secretly they hate each other very much. This relationship has lasted for a long time.

But the sound of the horn just now meant that a guest was coming, not a signal of warning and defense.

So the leader of the sea snake is here as a guest? This is a rare event in a hundred years.

Ming Shu also continued to shake his head: "I don't know, maybe it was arranged by the elders." The

previous patriarch resigned due to illness, and he has long since left his job. Various affairs in the clan are handled by a few elder black-tailed mermaid elders. Decide.

At this time, more than a dozen sea snakes came from the same direction, followed by several white sharks with things tied to their backs.

This batch of sea snakes is slightly smaller in size, and the thickest one is about the same as the tail of an ordinary mermaid. They should all be subordinates of the leader of the sea snakes.

The giant snake went to the sea area in the center of the territory, and there was no danger or attack as imagined, and the nearby mermaids came out from behind the reef one after another.

"What are they doing here?" A mermaid npc said angrily, "Provocative? Deliberately picking it at this time?" "Why didn't the

patrol team notify in advance? Is this negligence?"

The sudden appearance of the giant snake scared many mermaids , plus they hated sea snakes, they were all very angry, and some had a bad temper, and they would chase after them with weapons.

A group of black-tailed mermaids wearing soft armor jackets arrived in time to appease the mermaids. The leading mermaid npc explained: "For the successor selection this time, the elders

have invited the leader of the sea snake tribe. Recently, remember to be careful and don't take the initiative to make trouble."

But it was very sudden, and for a while there were voices of opposition and puzzlement all around.

The mermaid npc of the patrol team raised the trident in his hand, shook it hard on the ground, and said sharply, "Quiet!"

The noisy voice stopped abruptly, and the mermaid NPC looked around: "This is the decision of the elders, put away your emotions, and do what you should do." In fact, the invitation has already been sent out, but it was not until yesterday that the election officially

started , They also did not receive a reply from the leader of the sea snake.

The elders thought he refused, so they didn't inform the clan. Who knew that the leader of the sea snake would suddenly appear this morning, which made the mermaids in the territory unprepared.

The mermaids were honest now, the mermaid npc led the patrol and turned around to check the situation elsewhere.

Ming Shu remained silent, and Xi Yu beside him also remained silent, neither surprised, nor angry or disturbed, as if he didn't care at all.

He turned his eyes to Mingshu again, looked at him for a while and asked, "You didn't seem to go to pick up the coral branches yesterday?"

Mingshu replied vaguely, "How do you know? Did you also participate in the selection?"

Xi Yu Taking the initiative to ask, this is a good opportunity to try to complete the task, Ming Shu temporarily put Xiu Qi aside, thinking about what excuses he should find to deceive Xi Yu.

Anyone can participate in the selection of the successor, and there will be free accommodation and meals. Some mermaids with light-colored fish tails also signed up. It is not surprising that Mingshu would ask this question.

Xi Yu generously admitted: "Yeah."

"I went to the Dark Sea yesterday, but I didn't see you," he explained, "Are you planning to go today?"

In fact, Xi Yu asked a bit too much, he has a silver tail, If it was another black tail, he probably thought that he wanted to help him and take him into the sea to get the coral branches used for the mission.

But the one in front of him was Ming Shu, and Ming Shu was the one who needed help the most.

"I don't know..." Ming Shu looked weary, "I'm not feeling well these days, and I'm in a bad state." If

Xi Yu is the protagonist, he must not be weak, right?

If he will be the future patriarch of the mermaid tribe, he was originally a silver tail that all mermaids looked down upon, but finally won the highest score in the election by virtue of his strength, which really fits a fairy tale.

"Uncomfortable?" Xi Yu looked worried, and raised his hand to lightly touch Ming Shu's forehead, "Do you need to go to the medical alley?

" High, just take a few fish with you.

Ming Shu lowered his head and continued to lie: "I've been there...but it's useless."

How could he ask Xi Yu to help him fetch a coral branch? They are competitors, and Xiyu is still a silver tail.

But putting these aside for the time being, if Xiyu really has any connection with Yuan Chen in the previous dungeon, Mingshu knows what to do to soften his heart and make him like her.

Ming Shu raised his face and pursed his lips: "I might get a zero."

He looked helpless and sad, his skin was as white as snow against the backdrop of black hair, and his delicate and delicate facial features made him Looking fragile and pitiful, amber pupils looked over.

There happened to be a mermaid hurriedly passing by behind, Ming Shu dodged forward, and subconsciously grabbed Xi Yu's arm, as if throwing himself into a hug.

Xi Yu reached out to support him, but Ming Shu's nose accidentally hit his chin.

Ming Shu rubbed the tip of his nose, and his wrist suddenly tightened.

Siyu pulled him and swam to another remote corner, hiding behind the huge reef together.

"Don't worry," he said softly, holding Mingshu's hand as if he still couldn't bear to let go, and pulled him into his arms, "I have it here." The progress was so smooth that Mingshu didn't even realize it

. Say a few more words: "... what?"

He saw Xi Yu take out a black coral branch from his jacket pocket and put it in his hand.

"I retrieved this yesterday," Xi Yu said, "Maybe it's my luck that I didn't run into the whirlpool."

The coral branch was firmly held by Mingshu in his hand, and the last system prompt did not appear, which means it was successful, and he can send this prop to register.

Ming Shu looked at Xi Yu hesitantly, and whispered: "Then... what should you do?"

Xi Yu's expression remained unchanged: "I'm just a silver tail, and I'm destined not to complete all the campaign tasks."

Hearing what he said, On the contrary, Mingshu was a little worried: "But..."

What if Xiyu really thought so, he didn't know that he would become the patriarch, and gave Mingshu the coral branch, and his election score would be zero.

Xi Yu has been quietly watching the expression on Ming Shu's face, and seeing that he still refuses to accept it, he changed his mind and said: "The mission deadline will end tomorrow, I'll just go and get it again, the Dark Sea is not as dangerous as the rumors say."

Ming Only then did Shu feel relieved: "Hmm..."

Looking at the coral branch in his hand, he felt very complicated.

It went smoothly, but it went too smoothly... And now that he is a black tail, he actually wants to pretend to be sick and ask a silver tail for something to complete the mission... Ming Shu is ashamed, but he has successfully obtained the mission props, and he can't do it again

. Going back, he came to look for Xiyu, isn't it for this reason.

Ming Shu carefully put the coral branch into his jacket pocket, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

He finally accepted it without struggling for long, and was obviously happy.

Xi Yu's lips curved slightly, and he bent over to get closer, and said in a low voice: "But you must not tell other mermaids, and you must not let them find out."

Ming Shu should be the one to say this... He He had to keep the coral branch that Xi Yu brought back to him as a secret, but now it was Xi Yu who took the initiative to tell him.

Ming Shu was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that they were very close at the moment.

With his back against the reef, Xi Yu almost blocked him in the narrow rock crevice, two fish tails of different colors were close at hand, and a little further forward could rub against each other's scales.

Mingshu responded subconsciously, and replied obediently: "I know."

Then his guess...was it also proved to be correct? Xiyu must have a high degree of affection for him, otherwise, why would he give him the hard-earned coral branch after meeting him for the second time.

Thinking of the fact that the mermaid in front of him and Xiuju who came to the territory are most likely to be Yuan Chen from the previous dungeon, Ming Shu is excited and apprehensive, looking at Xi Yu with a pair of vaguely bright eyes.

Such an expression fell into Xi Yu's eyes, and he almost couldn't help it. He wanted to pull Ming Shu into his arms and hug this poor acting little mermaid.

Then use the act of accepting the coral branch just now to coerce him and ask him, did he tell a lot of lies, is he really a black tail?

Ming Shu must have thought that she acted very much in front of him... so cute.

But it's too early now, he has to wait, otherwise he might scare Mingshu away.

Xi Yu suppressed himself, hiding all his imminent intentions.

He stepped back a little, took Mingshu's hand, bent down and kissed the back of his hand, and said, "I have other things to do, so I won't send you back." Mingshu's cheeks were slightly red: "Well, good

."

Reluctantly letting go of him, Yu Yi turned around and walked away.

Ming Shu stayed alone behind the reef, and returned to his residence after he calmed down.

Xia Zhu came back first, saw Ming Shu, and said with a frowning face, "What should I do, this task is impossible at first glance..." So many

players in disguise, each of them has to go to the leader of the sea snake and ask him not to expose himself? Although the npc in the dungeon is not a real person, he is not a fool either...

and before Ming Shu left the sea snake clan, he stayed with him, so Xiu Qi must have seen his face.

In Xiuju's eyes, he was probably the culprit who took away Mingshu and caused him to be shot by an arrow, and he wished to kill him soon.

Not only Xia Zhu, but other players were also dumbfounded after receiving the newly released mission. Now a group of players are trying to call everyone together to discuss what should be the safest way.

Ming Shu swam to Xia Zhu's side and comforted him dryly: "Don't worry, finish the campaign mission first..."

He seemed to be separated from all the players... What they were worried about was not the same problem.

Xia Zhu sighed heavily, wiped his face, and did not forget to tell Mingshu: "You should also hide recently, and we will talk about the situation."

He still considers the players in the dungeon first. To Mingshu, the players may be It is the most dangerous. At this time, everyone tries to avoid the leader of the sea snake. If Ming Shu gets closer, he is very likely to be targeted.

Ming Shu nodded seriously, and then took out a black coral branch.

Xia Zhu recognized it as a quest item at a glance, and showed an unbelievable expression: "You...this..."

He knew that Ming Shu was going to find Xi Yu, and Ming Shu had already completed Xi Yu's strategy mission, and Ming Shu Some weird physiques that attract NPCs, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It's just that he didn't expect... Mingshu would succeed so quickly.

Ming Shu was a little embarrassed, wanted to explain but didn't know how to say: "Xi Yu gave it to me, I haven't handed it in yet."

Xia Zhu looked envious, half complaining and half guessing: "Xi Yu won't also I fell in love with you... It's better to hand it in later, and find a time when no one is around."

Mingshu is indeed beautiful, but as a system-generated npc, she shouldn't be a face control...

"Don't worry, and Time," Ming Shu looked at the coral branch in his hand, "I want to try..."

This piece of coral branch is very long, as he said, he broke the coral branch in half forcefully.

Xia Zhu was startled by Mingshu's actions, and instantly guessed his intentions.

Mingshu slowly put half of the coral branch on Xia Zhu's hand, and the two waited together holding their breaths.

There was no system prompt, and the coral branches were not broken.

Ming Shu said happily: "It's really possible!"

The coral branches were given by Xi Yu, and he transferred some of them to Xia Zhu, and he could still complete the task, which was considered a loophole in the rules.

Xia Zhu was also very excited, holding the coral branch in her hands as if she was about to cry: "This is the only good news today... Just say it if you need me in the future, you gave me my life! " Ming Shu quickly shook his head: "It's just an item. You 've been working

hard recently. If other players want to hide, don't go out."

Chat with all the npcs you can get in touch with, be diligent and hardworking.

Before leaving the Sea Snake Clan, they were threatened by those three players, and it was Xia Zhu who protected him.

Xia Zhu nodded: "Okay, let's rest these two days."

As long as the leader of the sea snake is not wandering around in the territory, it will be fine. The second campaign task will be released after tomorrow, and the difficulty will only increase.

While the two were talking, the pearl slowly came out from Mingshu's hair, looking listless.

It saw that Xiuqi came to the mermaid tribe, and also saw Ming Shu getting so close to the mermaid who looked like Xiuqi, so it was not in a good mood.

Mingshu guessed a little bit, held the little jellyfish and coaxed it, and then it regained some energy and swam to other places to find food.

-

On the second day, there were suddenly fewer mermaids wandering around in the territory.

Among them are not only the players who are secretly observing, but also some timid mermaid npcs who dare not meet the sea snakes in the territory.

However, at the end of the day, the sea area of ​​the feature film was quiet and quiet, as if the scene yesterday never happened at all.

It wasn't until late at night that Xia Zhu heard from a mermaid npc that the invited Sea Snakes had set up a special courtyard somewhere, and it seemed that they didn't intend to go to other places.

Sea snakes are different from mermaids. They don't have gills and need to breathe air. Most of the "yards" they build are like those in the sea snake tribe's territory.

This is good news for the players, at least they can find a way to complete the campaign mission, the 70 faction value needed by the leader of the sea snake, and then make plans.

"The second task will be released tomorrow," Xia Zhu sighed

. The mermaid npc didn't say anything, and the score was normal.

"By the way," Xia Zhu lowered his voice, hesitating: "I also heard..."

After these few days of hard work, he has a good relationship with several npcs, and he can inquire about a lot of news, but he hasn't logged in yet. Raiders task.

Ming Shu asked, "What?"

"I heard that the patrol team took away some beautiful silver-tailed mermaids," Xia Zhu said, "It seems to be the request of... the leader of the sea snake."

Ming Shu was stunned for a moment: "How many silver tails did you take away?"

His first reaction was whether Xiyu would also be taken away, but Xia Zhu said no, those mermaids all had long hair, while Xiyu had short hair, which didn't meet the requirements.

Long hair, silver tail.

Ming Shu lowered her head: "Oh...alright."
