Xiao Zhi released his last skill and finally shattered the stone statue in front of him.

At this time, many broken stone statues fell on the surrounding altars, and the stone statues on the walls that originally looked like decorations were all gone.

Xiao Zhi put away his staff and lay directly in the water like a floating corpse, not wanting to move a finger.

tired! Really tired!

Just after Xiao Zhi touched the statue of the goddess Shifa on the table, the stone statues came down from the wall one after another and started an inhumane wheel battle against Xiao Zhi.

After the fight, Xiao Zhi was even more certain that each of these stone statues was a replica of a very powerful Yuan clan warrior from back then. Each of them has rich combat experience, and their attack methods and habits are also different, which makes it difficult for him to deal with them. They all have many wounds on their bodies, and some of them even almost stabbed him to the core.

The wheel battle lasted for several hours, almost draining the people dry. Maybe Xiao Zhi should be glad that they didn't swarm him, otherwise he would probably be even worse than he is now, and he might even die directly.

No wonder the formation on the door is only for warning and defense, but the guards inside are really strong.

The soul fire lamp had long since fallen to the ground, and the green light reflected his motionless translucent body, which looked very scary.

After a while, Xiao Zhi felt that he finally found some strength. He took out a bottle of red medicine from his backpack and drank it, waiting for the wounds on his body to recover.

At this time, the goddess statue, which had been sitting quietly on the table, emitting only a little white light, suddenly lit up. The pure white light suppressed the green color of the soul lamp and dissipated the ghostly atmosphere on the entire altar. The scene even looked a bit holy and warm.

Xiao Zhi also received a system prompt almost at the same time:

"You passed the test of Goddess Xifa and obtained the qualification to approach the icon."

Xiao Zhi thought, what test? Does it mean defeating a wall of stone statues?

If the qualifications for contacting the goddess Shifa are so hard-core, then it would be understandable that the Yuan tribe did not take away their guardian icon during the great catastrophe. The whole city is going to be gone. Who has so much time to fight in a wheel battle? It must be urgent to escape first. Anyway, the protection of the holy statue is very thorough, and it has not been damaged at all after so many years.

Perhaps the Yuan tribe at that time thought that with their fighting power, they would soon be able to find Kenas City on the bottom of the sea, and it would not be too late to take away the holy statue by then. Who knew that a thousand years would have passed since the search.

Xiao Zhi became more and more certain that the changes in the Yuan clan were related to the loss of the goddess statue.

At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder, didn't the Yuan Clan even prepare an emergency plan for themselves?

Xiao Zhi approached the glowing statue of the goddess Xifa and reached out to touch it again.

This time there was no unexpected attack, and the statue was safely held in his hands. The statue feels warm to the touch, as delicate as jade, and even has a little warmth. It may not be obvious on land, but it is very obvious on the cold seabed.

Xiao Zhi looked at the statue of the goddess and felt that his heart had become peaceful, and emotions such as anxiety, fear, and uneasiness were driven out from the bottom of his heart. This seemed to be the special effect of the statue.

Then Xiao Zhi received a system prompt:

"Do you want to accept the exploration mission 'Return the Holy Statue of the Yuan Clan'?"

"Prompt: This mission is a key mission for regional exploration. If you abandon it, you will not be able to pick it up again."

Xiao Zhi: "Return it?" Is it going to be sent to the territory of the Yuan Clan?"

He thought about the Yuan Clan who had been chasing him before, as if he had a deep hatred for him. If he entered their lair, he would not be stabbed by the trident. The ground was deserted...

He might not be able to find the Yuan Clan's residence yet.

accept? Still not answering?

Xiao Zhi thought for a while and finally decided to accept it. Since it is a key task, it may be related to whether the map can be opened. If you refuse, you may never have a chance again.

And if he has the statue of the goddess Shifa in hand, maybe the treatment will be different. This point can be referred to the Abyss Unodi who saw the pink doll. I hope the Abyss tribe can be so understanding...

Accepted the mission After that, the white light on the statue of Goddess Shifa returned to its previous weak state, but a small white light ball appeared in front of Xiao Zhi. The light ball was floating in the water, always heading in a certain direction, and seemed to be Showing him the way.

It also comes with its own guide, and Goddess Shifa is very considerate.

·

Xiao Zhi followed the guidance of the light ball and left Kenas City.

After leaving the protection of the city, there were suddenly more sea beasts outside, and many of them attacked him.

But Xiao Zhi found that anyone who looked like an octopus, whether it was a squid or a squid, would not attack him. Some would even follow him curiously for a while and then leave. These are probably the dependents of Abyss Wu Nuodi. With the boss's order, they will naturally not attack Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi suddenly felt that they were all cute.

The light ball guided Xiao Zhi to the undersea mountain he passed through before. It seemed that the Yuan tribe's settlement was still on the other side. He had no choice but to drill through the gap in the mountain again.

After coming out of the seamount, he walked forward for a while, and the surrounding environment gradually changed.

The seaweed on the ground seemed to have been roughly cut and looked bare. There were also skeletons and incompletely rotten bodies of various sea beasts scattered on the ground, but not even a fish could be seen. There are also many traces of battles on the rocks. At first glance, these traces were scratched by sharp weapons, and they were obviously not made by sea beasts.

Xiao Zhi knew in his mind that he might have entered the Yuan clan's activity area. He couldn't help but be more vigilant, and held the staff in his hand, ready for a big melee at any time.

The ball of light kept guiding him forward.

There are traces of buildings ahead. These buildings are all made of stone, but unlike the elegant but exquisite stone buildings of Kenas City, these look very random. Even if it is made up of several large stones, the gaps as big as fists between the stones are not blocked. The whole building is still crooked, making people suspect that it may fall apart if pushed hard.

Some don't even have doors, giving off an aura of poverty and roughness.

This is probably where the Yuan people live.

Xiao Zhi looked at these buildings carefully and found that these houses were all empty. Even the furniture that should have been there could not be seen, and there was no trace of habitation.

Xiao Zhi glanced at the guidance of the eyeball, and he did not deviate from the direction.

But what about people?

After walking forward for a while, there were many buildings on both sides, all of the same style, but there was still no sign of human beings. Only the stones of some houses had deep scratches on them. It looked like someone had fought here. Live the same.

Finally, several figures with swaying black fish tails and tridents appeared in front of them.

Xiao Zhi suddenly became alert and his eyes locked on the Yuan clan members who were approaching him.

The eyes of these Yuan tribesmen are like those of hungry beasts, fierce, cold, with the desire to devour and bite. Their faces are also as ferocious as burn marks, and their sharp white teeth still look so... Horrible.

But when they approached Xiao Zhi, they did not launch a direct attack like the Yuan clan they had seen before.

They just stared at Xiao Zhi with penetrating eyes, holding the trident in their hands so tightly that Xiao Zhi could clearly see the bulging muscles and bulging veins on their arms, as if they were about to lift it in the next second. It's like being stabbed with a weapon.

Several Yuan clan members just kept looking at Xiao Zhi strangely, but they didn't see any next move.

Xiao Zhi felt a little strange and did not rush to take action. The two sides fell into a silent confrontation for a while.

At this moment, another Yuan clan figure appeared in front.

Xiao Zhi looked over there warily. There were quite a few people coming this time, and they were all from the Yuan clan.

But these Yuan tribes are even more different, they are too normal.

Although they still had human bodies and fish tails, there were no hideous burn marks on their faces, and their eyes were quite clear. Xiao Zhi saw curiosity, vigilance, and doubt in their eyes, but he did not see any crazy feeling.

Another thing is different from what I have seen before. Judging from the body shape, this should be a group of teenagers, even half of them are children.

The leader was a handsome boy with short black hair. He seemed to be the oldest among the group of boys and the closest to the size of an adult.

Xiao Zhi couldn't understand what the young man said to the previous Yuan clan members. Xiao Zhi couldn't understand the language he used, but those Yuan clan members who had been staring at Xiao Zhi with terrifying eyes retreated after hearing this, although they were still staring fiercely. Looking at him, the hand holding the trident relaxed a lot.

The young man then turned his attention back to Xiao Zhi. When he spoke, he spoke fluently in common language: "I'm sorry, Branto and the others have just offended you."

Xiao Zhi was a little surprised, because of the young man's reason and gentleness. With such an attitude, haven't the Yuan clan become mad after wandering under the sea for thousands of years?

Out of politeness, he did not directly ask such a rude question, but just said: "It's okay, we didn't start a fight anyway."

Hearing his answer, the young man smiled: "My name is Yulis, and I am the current agent. Patriarch, could you please tell me what I should call you?"

Xiao Zhi thought for a while, whether it would be better to say seventeen or 7654321. In order to avoid the risk of losing his horse, he finally said: "Seventeen."

Yulis said: "Seventeen. Sir, can I ask why you came to visit the Yuan Clan?"

Although Xiao Zhi thought it was strange that the acting clan leader was a young man, but compared with the adult Yuan Clan who seemed unable to communicate, this one could speak common language and was sane. Sober teenagers are more reliable.

Xiao Zhi did not tell the truth at the beginning. He said, "I heard that the Yuan clan has been staying at the bottom of the sea, looking for something very important, right?"

Hearing this, the young man raised his eyebrows, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. Expression: "How did Mr. Seventeen know?"

Xiao Zhi said, "I have obtained some information, which may be helpful to you, but it will probably take a long time to explain."

Yulis glanced at the expression The calm Xiao Zhi thought for a while and said to him: "Please come with me. I hope you won't dislike our poor hospitality conditions."

After that, he led Xiao Zhi towards the depths of the Yuan tribe's settlement, and several The adult Yuan tribe still followed behind them.

The Yuan tribe teenagers around him kept casting curious glances at Xiao Zhi. Some younger children couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Seventeen, are you from outside?"

Xiao Zhi looked at him and replied: "Yes, I come from Heisen in the Dazemenya continent."

The children exclaimed:

"Wow..."

"It's so amazing!"

"It's so far away..."

Xiao Zhi said, "Yes, I can ask. "How did you learn Common Language?"

"The patriarch taught me!"

"Reading!"

"There are exams!"

The children started talking, but their words did not answer Xiao Zhi's doubts.

But when Yulis heard this, he turned to Xiao Zhi and said, "Our knowledge about Common Language is basically obtained from sunken merchant ships or adventurers. Sometimes we will search sunken ships and obtain some that have not been corroded by sea water. Books or maps, sometimes..."

Yulis said a little embarrassedly, and he grinned, showing the iconic white fangs of the Yuan tribe in his mouth: "We will rob adventurers and get rid of them. Obtain."

Xiao Zhi: "..."

What a unique method of obtaining information from the Yuan clan.

Ulis said: "The patriarch always said that the Yuan tribe must continue to learn in order not to be abandoned by the times. Although information cannot be obtained at any time, there is always gain every once in a while, so we still have a general understanding The current situation on the mainland."

Xiao Zhi felt that this patriarch must be a very far-sighted person.

At this time, he noticed that after hearing the word "patriarch", the faces of the originally excited teenagers had expressions of regret and sadness. Did something happen to the patriarch?

But as a sudden visitor, it was not convenient for Xiao Zhi to ask so rashly, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.

Yulis took Xiao Zhi to a house that looked the most gorgeous.

It is said to be the most gorgeous, but actually the stones are piled a little higher and the gaps between the stones are filled in so that the whole house does not look like a sieve.

Xiao Zhi noticed that there were two stone pillars in front of the house. Although they were simply polished and the workmanship was rough, they were consistent with the architectural style in Kenas City.

Everyone entered the house. The house was very simple, just a stone table and a few stones that looked like seats.

Yulis greeted the teenagers and served snacks to Xiao Zhi. The dim sum was actually a thick piece of seaweed. The young man in charge of cutting it was not very good at cutting, so it was cut crookedly, and the stone plate underneath was also chipped.

The whole picture gives off an air of poverty.

Yulis felt a little embarrassed. He had read books about the outside world and naturally knew how people on the mainland treated guests. In comparison, the ones here were really shabby. Maybe the slums on the mainland were worse than them. The things you take out should be good.

But even if it was such a shabby piece of seaweed, the teenagers at the door couldn't help showing longing eyes. They stared at the seaweed on the table with bright eyes, as if they had seen some ultimate delicacy.

Xiao Zhi felt that this scene was a bit like a small pet watching its owner eat.

A feeling of guilt suddenly came to his mind. Xiao Zhi took out some fruits bought by Qianye Kingdom from his backpack and said to the teenagers: "Want to come and eat together?"

The teenagers' eyes were bright, but no one acted rashly. Everyone looked at Yulis expectantly.

Yulis looked at the fruit in Xiao Zhi's hand: "Is this the red heart fruit produced in Chiba?"

Xiao Zhi nodded. This young man knew a lot. The red heart fruit is a well-known fruit in Chiba Country. It has a crisp and sweet taste. It also has a bit of milky aroma and is a good choice to eat directly or make into a snack.

Yulis was a little embarrassed: "You are a guest, how can we eat such a precious thing from you?"

Xiao Zhi suddenly felt more sympathetic. According to the market price, the red heart fruit is only 100 gold shells each, and they are available all over the street. Sell ​​it, how poor are the Yuan people...

Xiao Zhi resisted the urge to sigh and put the fruit directly on the table: "Let's eat together, we can just chat while eating."

After saying that, he took the lead and took one to chew on, indicating that the fruit was not poisonous.

A little sweet smell spread with the water. The teenagers' eyes widened and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, looking more like greedy little animals.

When Yulis saw this, he no longer refused. He waved to the teenagers: "Come on, remember to thank Mr. Seventeen."

"Thank you, Mr. Seventeen!"

"Mr. Seventeen is so kind!"

"Wow! Ugh...so many times..."

After sharing the food in a friendly manner, Xiao Zhi chatted with the teenagers for a while, which brought the relationship between the two parties closer and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Xiao Zhi also had some understanding of this group of teenagers. They are led by Yulis, who is the younger brother of the clan leader. He has been acting as the clan leader for a year. He is a smart and gentle boy, but due to his environment and age, he has no scheming intentions.

During the chat, Xiao Zhi revealed to them how he knew about the Yuan clan, and also said that the purpose of coming here this time was the statue of the goddess Xifa.

As soon as these words came out, the teenagers who were addicted to eating fruit were stunned.

"Icon..."

"Goddess Shifa..."

"Look, found..."

Yulis could no longer keep calm: "Mr. Seventeen, you mean you found Kenas City, and... ...The statue of the goddess Xifa is in your hand now?!"

Xiao Zhi nodded, took out the statue of the goddess from his backpack, and placed it on the table.

The statue of the goddess, which is shiny and glowing with a slight white light, is in sharp contrast to the simple tabletop, but this environment makes her look more holy.

At this time, Xiao Zhi also received a reminder that the mission was completed and a lot of experience. He quietly checked his level and found that it had reached 210. It was indeed very profitable to explore the new map.

Feeling that there might be a follow-up to the mission, Xiao Zhi was not in a hurry and waited for the development of the situation.

The surrounding teenagers seemed to be shocked. They all looked at the statue of the goddess quietly. Even Yulis, who looked like an adult, was no exception. At this moment, Xiao Zhi saw something on their faces that he had never seen before. Live in peace and tranquility.

After a while, Yulis was the first to come to his senses. He turned to Xiao Zhi and couldn't hide his excitement: "Thank you so much! I don't even know how to express my feelings now!"

Xiao Zhi Just in time to ask his doubts: "Can you tell me why the Statue of Shifa is so important to you? If it's not convenient for

you, you don't need to tell me." Yulis said: "It's you, there's no problem in telling you . "

He thought about the wording: "The Yuan tribe has always had a secret, and even other sea tribes don't know this secret. When the Yuan tribe reaches adulthood, they will go through a period of transformation. During this period of transformation, The energy and blood power within the Yuan Clan are very unstable. Once a rebellion breaks out, it can easily destroy our sanity and appearance. "

Thousands of years ago, every once in a while, young people who were about to reach adulthood would be brought to the altar for help by the clan leader. The holy statue performs a blessing ceremony. After the ceremony, the energy in our body will become gentle, and it will be easier to go through the transformation period. "

Xiao Zhi thought of those crazy Yuan tribes: "Then the current Yuan tribe...?"

Ulis smiled bitterly: "Without the blessing of the holy icon, almost all the Yuan tribe suffered heavy losses during the transformation period. Some of them went crazy directly, and the remaining parts will gradually go crazy in the next few years."

"In the past thousand years, , we wander around the bottom of the sea all day long, but there is no trace of the goddess. The situation becomes worse with each generation. Some people are in serious condition and no longer even know to return here. They wander around like sea beasts, unable to remember that they are. No one remembers the purpose of going out, only the instinct of fighting is left."

Xiao Zhi: "No wonder you have to stay at the bottom of the sea."

This is an important treasure related to the survival of the entire Yuan clan.

Xiao Zhi asked: "Why didn't you bring it with you during the great catastrophe?"

Yulis recalled: "According to what my brother told me, only the patriarchs of each generation and those who have passed the test of the goddess can touch the holy statue. . A few days before the great catastrophe, the clan leader and all the elites in the clan went to fight against the sea beasts, so no one was qualified to touch the holy statue at that time."

Since the topic came to his elder brother, who was the clan leader, Xiao Zhi asked in passing. : "I haven't seen the clan leader. What's wrong with him?"

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Yulis said: "Brother... his name is Mulan Fasha. He is the most talented person in the Yuan clan in the past few hundred years. , even survived the transformation period without being affected by his own strength. He was originally considered to be the hope of the Yuan clan, and he has been leading us to find the future."

"But his condition began to deteriorate a year ago, and he could only be saved. The patriarch entrusted me to act as his agent. Until three months ago, he was still crazy..."

The room fell into silence. The sadness on the faces of the teenagers present was not fake. They really liked the patriarch.

At this time, a little girl quietly pulled Xiao Zhi's sleeve. Her lingua franca was not standard, but she said every word seriously: "Mr. Seventeen, can Ni save Jiu... Brother Yulis, he is so far away It's been almost a year since Ni became an adult... Faina is afraid that he will also change..."

Yulis quickly stopped her: "Faina, you can't be so rude."

Xiao Zhi didn't mind, he touched Faina's soft body. Black hair, asked Yulis: "How can I help you?"

Yulis looked in disbelief: "Are you willing to help us?"

Xiao Zhi nodded.

Yulis thought for a while: "Actually, I don't know. I am not the real patriarch. There are some things that only my brother knows..."

Suddenly he thought of something: "Mr. Seventeen, you have been recognized by the goddess Shifa. Maybe Can help him recover!"

Xiao Zhi asked: "How to do it?"

Yulis was not very confident: "First...bring the holy statue to my brother..."

After his words fell, Xiao Zhi immediately Received the mission prompt:

"Do you want to accept the exploration mission 'Saving Mulan Fasha'?"

"Prompt: This mission is a key mission for regional exploration. If you give up, you will not be able to take it again."

Xiao Zhi decisively chose to accept,

·

Go to see the clan leader. On the way, Yulis asked Xiao Zhi about the process of finding Kenas and obtaining the statue.

Yulis: "Is it that seamount mountain?! About three hundred years ago, a clan leader tried to send people through there, but that area belonged to an abyssal monster. Whenever we got close, Everyone will be expelled by it."

Xiao Zhi asked: "Is it a big pink octopus?"

Yulis was surprised: "Do you know it? Did it let you go?"

Xiao Zhi simply described it to him. After a while, I got the favor of the big octopus by gifting a doll.

"Pink...skirt...legs..." Yulis fell into deep thought after hearing this. He couldn't help but look at his own dark fish tail, and then at the fish around him that were almost as black as his own. Tail and hair, and then thought about the ferocious appearance of the adult Yuan tribe.

"Could it be that... it dislikes us for being ugly?" the witty boy Yulis came to the conclusion.

In the eyes of the big octopus, the Yuan tribe is not only not pink, but also has an ordinary fish tail in the sea, and is even ugly.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

He wanted to comfort the other party, but he had a subtle feeling that Yulis might have guessed the truth. If all the Yuan tribe had pink fish tails and hair, maybe the big octopus would be accommodating and let them pass...

Unfortunately, they perfectly avoided all the cute points of the big octopus.

The author has something to say: Yuan Clan: From now on, we will make pink the color only for macho men!
