"Dragon Palace? Isn't it the 'Crystal Palace'? It should be at the bottom of the sea. Why is it on an island?" Everyone looked at the buildings on the island inexplicably.
Not to mention, the buildings on the island are entirely made of granite stones. They are magnificent and majestic. They are more like temples than palaces. Granite is produced inland, but it is definitely not something produced in the sea. How can such a building be transformed into a palace? Many and large stones were transported to such a small ocean island to build such a magnificent building. Not to mention that the ancient emperors and generals did not have this ability. Even in modern times, it is not an easy task. To connect it with miracles It doesn't make sense.
Xueting explained to everyone: "The legend of the 'Beihai Dragon Palace' has existed on the southeast coast since ancient times, and it is located somewhere in the Beibu Gulf. This Dragon Palace does not belong to any of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas in traditional mythology, but belongs to A well-trained heavenly dragon. Legend has it that the heavenly dragon is all white in body, has vast supernatural powers, and has countless yakshas patrolling the sea. However, it has a pretty good character and never hurts people casually. Sometimes it will rescue poor fishermen who are in shipwrecks, but it is taboo. There are many, and if fishermen touch its taboo, they will be in catastrophe."
"Regardless of whether the island is a so-called dragon palace or not, now we need to dock to repair the ship, and then find some fresh water and food supplies so that we can search and rescue the captain and the others as quickly as possible. Even if it is a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, we have to break into it. "Before she retired, "Bai Mei" had the highest military rank among everyone except Ling Hao. Now she is obviously the one giving the orders. Xueting calmed down, no longer panicked, and did not raise any objection to "Bai Mei"'s decision.
In fact, no matter what decision they make, the fishing boat will be washed up on the coast of the island by the current without any accident. Now that the wind and waves have stopped, the sky is getting brighter and brighter, and only the radio communication equipment on the boat and The GPS seemed to have been affected by some strong magnetic interference, rendering it useless and unable to contact the outside world at all.
As soon as the ship docked, "Bai Mei", Xueting and "Tiesh" collected ammunition and got off the ship to find supplies, while the others stayed on the ship to continue repairing the engine.
Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. Ling Hao looked in the direction where the strange sound was coming from the wave technique. Groups of Abyss monsters made way for a passage, and a huge figure almost twice the size of the ordinary Abyss emerged from the passage. Appearing slowly, it looks like the "alien matrix" in the movie. Although it is ferocious, it is not ugly. It is full of a sense of power and embodies the charm of a violent aesthetics. Ling Hao and Shui Lingxing had seen this figure in the underwater palace of the Mu continent. Especially the huge black crystal hanging on its chest showed the identity of the visitor.
"You, you are King Tumi?!" Ling Hao and Shui Lingxing shouted almost in unison, and Ling Hao almost choked on the water.
The monster seemed a little surprised and continued: "Why, you still know me? I can't remember how many years have passed. I didn't expect that there would be foreigners who know the three words King Tumi. It seems that this kid does. He is a descendant of the Holy King's lineage. This lineage has not been interrupted, and there are still people to succeed it, which really makes me, an old guy, very happy."
When Ling Hao saw that the other party was indeed an old friend of his ancestors and seemed to have no hostility, he put away the Dragon Arc sword, pulled Shui Lingxing forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, King Tumi, my name is Ling Hao, and this is The girl from the mermaid clan is called Shui Lingxing. A group of us mistakenly entered this space of unknown time. We have no intention of offending the abyss clan. We only caused these casualties in order to protect ourselves. It is really a pity. I hope His Majesty can forgive me."
Ling Hao kept his posture very low. He was joking. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel the terrifying power emanating from King Tumi. He didn't need to confirm his eyes to know that this was an existence that he couldn't afford to offend. How could he still dare to show off his strength? Now, Caught in a tight siege, relying on the ancestral friendship, other than hoping that the other party would be lenient, there was nothing he could do for the time being.
"Your Majesty?" King Tumi grinned and let out an ugly laugh: "You don't need to call me that. I'm just an old slave of your ancestor, the Holy King. I was favored by the Holy King not to kill him, and I'm like a brother." We have been honest with each other for a long time. Tumi was a loyal servant of the Holy King in life, and a loyal soul of the Holy King in death. Since you are the direct bloodline of the Holy King, I should call you 'Young Master'. Back then, the continent sank and the empire was wiped out. , the seven tribes dispersed, and I took the remnants of the Abyss tribe across the sea to find their home. However, the geological changes were more drastic than imagined. All the abyssal trenches were either filled in, or filled with harmful substances emerging from the ground. The sharp decline has made it impossible for our clan to survive. In a hundred years, our clan's population has dropped by 90%. It was not until Renxi of the snake people introduced me to this 'different world' that our clan was able to escape the disaster of extinction. .I know that the world outside has changed now. The human race has become the master of the world. The technological means are so powerful that no alien race can shake them. I am afraid that the seven-race covenant will no longer be recognized by the human race. I don’t want to go to land and fight with the human race. No matter what the short and long term, it's good to stay in this 'different world', so I restrained my tribe, tried not to appear in front of the human race, and lived a life of peace and harmony here. I didn't expect that today I would be in trouble. After Mian met the Holy King, my young master, please accept the courtesy of this old slave." After saying this, he actually fell down in the water, bowed to the ground and performed a great ceremony. All the surrounding abyss clan looked at each other, but they were of low intelligence and saw that they The kings all "knelt down" and bent down to salute one after another. The scene was so spectacular that even Ling Hao and the other three were stunned.
"Your Majesty, oh no, Senior Tumi, please get up quickly. I am a junior, how can I bear the great gift from the Abyss Clan and the Clan!" Ling Hao was a little embarrassed. This feeling of being worshiped by thousands of people like an emperor made him feel a little embarrassed. Feeling like sitting on pins and needles.
King Tumi then stood up and said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk. Come with me to Tumi City to sit down and have a cup of seaweed tea." Without being polite, he appeared next to Ling Hao and gave him a hand. He picked up the latter and Shui Lingxing beside him, turned around and swam away. Although Tian Yong looked confused, he didn't dare to go too far away from Ling Hao, so he had no choice but to follow them, with countless Abyss clansmen behind them. Hug, left in a mighty manner.
After swimming a not too far distance, an inconspicuous island appeared on the sea, but underneath the island was something terrible. I don’t know what kind of energy propped up a huge bubble, and there was actually something inside the bubble. There is a huge city, which feels just like the "Eubitis" city of the mermaid clan, but the architectural style is far different. Compared with the neat and beautiful buildings of the mermaid clan, this city feels like a huge They are almost the same as slums. There are low and rough houses everywhere. Most of them look like livestock shacks. There is no planning at all. They are built privately everywhere. All the streets are like alleys and twisted. In Bawai, only a stone palace in the center of the city was built tolerable. The biggest difference from Eupetis is that there are a lot of "people" in the city, and it is very bustling. There are also many giant octopuses crawling around outside the city, which makes people feel like they are on another planet.
Shui Lingxing whispered to Ling Hao: "The 'Papua Matrix' is also used here. It is the same as the 'Eubitis' city we have been to. Looking at the size of this city, it is estimated that it can house a population of hundreds of thousands. . But just now I accidentally saw that there seemed to be an identical city behind the island. Although it was not very clear, there seemed to be military camps in the middle of the two cities, with a large number of troops stationed. Could it be that they are still there? Can’t we fight a civil war?”
"God knows, but I did see our ship on the edge of the island. There is also a temple-like building on the island. I guess my teammates went to the island to find supplies. I can meet them later. It also saves them the worry." Ling Hao seemed to be in a good mood.
Shui Lingxing rolled her eyes at him and said: "Is it true that you can make your British lover feel at ease? You are such a playboy, sooner or later you will get into trouble."
"Shit, you're just slandering me. I'm a dedicated and good man!" Ling Hao immediately retorted.
King Tumi ignored the quarrel between the two men and led them into the city gate and walked directly towards the palace. A fully functioning "Papua Matrix" can drain all the water inside, so there is no water in the city. Although the air is humid and has a salty smell of sea water, it does not make people feel stuffy. Ling Hao and the other three followed King Tumi into his palace. After sitting down in the main hall, the attendant brought a huge screw jar with a light green liquid in it. This is the so-called "seaweed tea". After taking a sip, it has a slightly bitter taste and is a little sticky, but it doesn't have the fishy smell as expected, so it's not unpleasant to drink.
King Tumi watched Ling Hao drinking tea, then looked at Shui Lingxing, and laughed heartily: "Back then, the Holy King also had a confidante from the mermaid tribe. It seems that it is indeed a family connection, but what about this little mermaid? Only the spirit body is left? I have some strange things here that can nourish the soul, and I will give them to you later."
Shui Lingxing held her breath and tried her best to pretend to be a lady and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have been dead for hundreds of years when I met Ling Hao. Your Majesty, King Tumi, please forgive me for talking. I just entered the city." I saw a city not far away, and it seemed like two armies were confronting each other and about to fight between the two cities. Is there a rebellion here?"
These words suddenly made the atmosphere awkward. King Tumi sighed and said helplessly: "I am old and my strength is not as good as before. The Abyss clan is a nation that advocates force, and it has gradually lost its previous deterrence. A rising star named Huxie who is less than a thousand years old thinks that I should make way for future generations. He claims that I am a loyal dog of the Holy King clan, but I have never sought the welfare of the clan, and now I still hold on to that illusory loyalty. In my dream, the Holy King clan may have become extinct, and I don’t know who it is loyal to. The colorful world outside should not all belong to the human race. It advocates going out from here, competing with the human race for living space, and fighting a holy war between races. I naturally disagreed. I didn't expect that this kid would pull a group of people to cause civil strife within the clan and build another 'Holy Light City'. Our clan has been divided since then. It has been almost five hundred years. The civil war has never stopped. Hundreds of thousands of young people in the clan have died because of this. The two sides have always been in a state of evenly matched tug of war. If this continues, the Abyss clan will soon be extinct. By the way, you are the first to discover this time. They are also people from Huxie, but you managed to break through the territory and killed hundreds of subordinates. I also took people out of the city to patrol after hearing the news. I didn’t expect to see the young master. This was obviously a secret. It was ordained by God.”
Ling Hao was moved by Tumi's loyalty, and he naturally felt close to this foreign elder who, although ugly in appearance, had a bright and open heart. Just when he was about to say a few heart-warming words, he suddenly seemed to think of something and asked quickly: "Senior Tumi, I have a group of companions. Their ship is docked at the edge of the island above. It should be I went to look for supplies. When I came here, I saw that there seemed to be palace buildings on the island from a distance. I wonder if that is your sphere of influence or the territory of Huxie. My companions will not be in danger, right?"
"Holy shit!" King Tumi cursed and stood up suddenly: "That place is neither my territory nor Huxie's sphere of influence. We don't dare to set foot there if we have nothing to do. I'm afraid your companions are in danger. !”
"What?" Ling Hao and the other three stood up suddenly, all shocked.
