At this time, Ximei turned around to ask, and Xiao Hei saw the opportunity very quickly. She hurriedly said: "We are discussing how to go around and have fun after solving the issue of the underwater city barrier hub later, and we want to find Balu as our guide. Sister Ximei, how about you go with me?"
"Okay, we are all distinguished guests. I will accompany you wherever you want to go." one time."
Xiao Hei's words immediately revealed the 'thing' that everyone had just talked about without revealing any trace. In this way, everyone was talking and laughing as if nothing had happened, and arrived at the Undersea City Barrier Hub. entrance.
"We're here, we're here." The young patriarch said to everyone, "Ximei and I will go in first and say hello to father. Everyone, please wait a moment."
After that, Jie'an took his sister and turned around and entered the barrier hub, which was a huge semi-underground building. After the two entered, they turned left and right and came to the door of the room where the leader of the Zhenyu tribe was.
"Father, we are here." Hearing Jie'an's respectful voice, an old reply sounded in the room: "Well, come in."
…
At the same time, Balu, Meng Li, Xiao Hei and others outside had some time to spare and started chatting.
"Hehehe, Brother Meng Li is young and promising, and he was able to defeat the giant black catfish by himself. I really admire him."
Balu praised the other party with a smile at this moment, but Meng Li smiled in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and said lightly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. If you want to say that you are powerful, the guardian figurine and the ice dragon master are more capable. I am just a nobody. That’s all.”
"Hehehe, we do have some strength, but you are not bad either." After Bingjiao said this, he looked at Balu again and asked casually: "Brother guard elder, I think Meng Li is very brave and brave, I think he must be under your care." Are you among the first-class masters in the fish-men tribe?"
"Oh, well..."
Hearing this question, Balu seemed a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "Hey, I'm sorry to say it, but today is actually the first time I saw Brother Meng Li. It's really strange. I thought a master like him would be in our underwater city. , there should be only a handful of them, they are people I am very familiar with."
"Hahaha, it's no wonder that the head guard doesn't recognize me. In fact, I didn't originally live in Undersea City."
When Meng Li said these words, Balu was shocked. He was about to ask for details, but the other party said it first: "I come from the 'Hai Prison Rock', and I used to be the jailer there. It wasn’t until this morning that I came to Undersea City.”
"Sea Prison Rock?!" When Balu heard the name, his body trembled violently. Bingjiao and Xiao Hei next to him were both curious, so they asked, "Where is this Sea Prison Rock?"
"Oh, that's a group of reefs about ten miles west of our underwater city. There is a huge rock in the middle. It was dug out a long time ago to serve as a prison for the most vicious criminals who committed serious crimes. "
Balu explained: "In order to frighten those prisoners who were sentenced to life imprisonment, our clan set up the most powerful jailers there. Later, the post of jailer became a hereditary and irreplaceable job. So..."
Having said this, he looked at Meng Li, and then said: "Your name is Meng Li, so are you related to the Meng family of the jailer family in Haiyuyan?"
"Yes, I am the son of Munro, the chief jailer of Haiyuyan." Meng Li said this with a bitter smile on his face.
He went on to say: "Actually, the situation on the Sea Hell Rock is very bad. Recently, the evil aquatic beasts under the Black Overlord have been attacking there. If they hadn't relied on the natural barrier of the reef group to barely block the opponent, I'm afraid the Sea Hell Rock would have been there. It has fallen, and countless heinous criminals will be released."
"I came directly to the Undersea City this morning with the help of the teleportation array of the Hell Rock, and planned to ask the clan leader for more support there." Meng Li continued to explain: "Of course, the guards patrolling the city have already checked my identity. "
"Uh, is that so?" Balu's old face turned red slightly, looking a little embarrassed. He whispered, "I'm really sorry. I had doubts about Brother Meng Li's identity before. Please don't take it off."
"Hahaha, of course not." The corners of Meng Li's mouth curled up slightly, and a smile that could melt ice and snow appeared on his face: "Brother, it is also your duty to be suspicious of strangers. Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, everyone can do A friend, right?"
"Hehe, of course, of course." When Balu nodded, he happened to see Jie'an walking out from inside. He said, "Everyone, my father, the patriarch, please go in. Please follow me."
A short while later, everyone saw the elderly Zhenyu clan leader, who looked particularly enthusiastic when he saw Xiao Hei and others.
"I heard that you all came from another world and saved my son and daughter. I am really grateful."
"Uncle Patriarch, there is no need to be so polite."
After hearing what the old patriarch said, the first person to speak was Xiao Hei, who was holding Xiao Xingxing in his arms. She chuckled and said, "Actually, I didn't contribute much. The guarding figurines and ice dragons were responsible for saving people. The only contribution I made was my excellent command ability as the leader of my companions."
"Pfft..." Hearing the little girl bragging so brazenly, the ice dragon almost burst out laughing, but it held on to its identity and finally stopped at the critical moment.
At this moment, the old patriarch looked at the appearance of the ice dragon and couldn't help but murmured to himself: "It looks so similar and smells so good."
Xiao Hei asked with a smile: "Hehehe, are you trying to say that my ice dragon is very similar to that dragon god?"
"Yes, you see." Having said this, the old patriarch turned and pointed at the two hill-like pieces of spiritual jade in front of him and said, "They all have the appearance lines of Lord Jiao God on their surfaces."
"Let me take a look." Xiao Hei took a few steps forward and looked up and down. At the same time, the ice dragon and the guard figurines also became curious and looked sideways.
"Indeed, there seems to be a pattern of entangled white dragons on it. It's lifelike." Xiao Hei admired: "Was this carved by a skilled craftsman?"
"No, no, the two pieces of spiritual jade were left behind by Lord Jiao God many years ago before he disappeared." The old patriarch explained: "The patterns of Jiao God on them are also automatically generated. Every time you pour spiritual energy into the jade, Those patterns will appear more clearly, and may even appear..."
At this point, he realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he paused for a moment before continuing: "By the way, I just heard Quan'er Jie'an mention that you all seem to want to help me maintain the Undersea City. I wonder what you plan to do with the operation of the barrier?"
