Chapter 138 Dark Elf 7
Chapter 138 Dark Elf 7
In the endless sea, through blurred vision, the exquisite woman's skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. With each glance, she possessed an elegant and noble temperament that captivated people, making them feel ashamed of their own appearance and dare not defile her.
But beneath that aloof and lively demeanor lies a captivating allure that makes one utterly mesmerized.
She was like a pearl with a halo, a jade with a lustrous sheen, her features exquisite, like a fairy descended to earth, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at her.
With just one glance, Xuanyuan Wu seemed to lose his soul, and then the next second he was knocked to the ground by the prince.
Before he could feel the pain, he suddenly looked up, only to find that the figure he had just caught a glimpse of was gone.
A profound sense of loss welled up in Xuanyuan Wu's heart, and he stood there speechless for a long time.
By the time he came to his senses, the merfolk had already knocked them out of the sea, leaving them sitting disheveled on the beach.
"What do we do now?" Michael wiped his face; the seawater tasted salty.
Everyone looked at Xuan Yuanwu again, only to find that he, who was usually the captain, was absent-minded.
Ling An felt inexplicably uneasy. "Xuanyuan?"
Xuanyuan Wu snapped out of his reverie, lowering his eyes to conceal the lingering affection within.
Who is that person?
He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "We cannot give up."
Although the others nearby were also somewhat dejected, they couldn't help but advise Xuan Yuanwu after hearing his words: "It's very difficult for us to enter the place where the merfolk live again, and they have always disliked being disturbed by outsiders."
Xuanyuan Wu, however, seemed not to hear, his gaze fixed firmly on the sea.
At this moment, Will, who had been silent all along, stood up, brushed the sand off his clothes, and said, "Perhaps there is a way."
Everyone looked at him, their eyes filled with doubt.
Will looked at Xuan Yuanwu and slowly said, "I have heard that there is a magical conch shell deep in this sea. If you can get it, you may be able to freely enter and leave the territory of the merfolk. However, there are many powerful sea beasts guarding this conch shell."
Everyone's eyes lit up, but Xuan Yuanwu didn't react. Then Ling An said without hesitation, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find the conch."
They've already come this far!
Seeing that Xuanyuan Wu didn't move, Ling'an became a little uneasy. "Xuanyuan, aren't you going?"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Wu's mind was still filled with that figure. After seeing a real beauty, everyone else seemed bland and tasteless.
His expression was deep and thoughtful, and finally he stood up abruptly.
Yes, he has to go. He has to go back there and see who that beauty really is!
He must find her!
So, after making some preparations, the group set off into the deep sea.
Along the way, they encountered many dangers, including turbulent currents and occasional attacks from small sea creatures.
But Xuanyuan Wu remained resolute; in his heart, there was only that fleeting, breathtaking image.
Little did he know that the person he was thinking of was nestled in Will's heart, leisurely enjoying the sea view.
Qingyu wasn't in a hurry to sabotage their plans. She found that disrupting them after they had overcome countless hardships was actually more exciting and would only intensify their despair.
So Qingyu stayed obediently and observed the whole time. The more she looked, the more convinced she became that it was all a conspiracy. Otherwise, why would there be more and more dark energy as they went deeper into the sea?
I wonder what the purpose of this Dark Lord's actions is.
Seeing that the protagonist team was all bloodthirsty, they finally approached the legendary location of the conch shell.
The surrounding sea beasts grew increasingly ferocious and powerful, their bodies as large as small hills.
Qingyu had thought that this group of people would back down, since Weiduo, who was treating them, was not around, and they had been relying on medicine or self-healing to recover from their injuries during this period. At this moment, Ling'an, who was among the veterans, was pale and clearly could not hold on any longer.
However, Xuanyuan Wu ignored it and showed no fear. He rushed forward first, brandishing his weapon and engaging in fierce combat with the sea beast.
The others exchanged glances, exhausted but seeing this, they had no choice but to join the fight.
Qingyu was well protected by Will throughout the battle. As an assassin himself, he was mostly dodging and weaving. Therefore, after a fierce battle, while everyone else was covered in wounds, Will was the least injured.
Having successfully repelled the sea monster, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Xuan Yuanwu decisively stepped forward and found a conch shell emitting a strange light behind a hidden coral reef.
He looked delighted, as if he could already see the beautiful woman again.
The moment he picked up the conch shell, a gentle force enveloped everyone.
When the light faded, they found themselves in the territory of the merfolk.
"Did it work?" Ling An murmured in a daze, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground the next second, but Michael caught her.
The latter looked at Xuanyuan Wu with some concern, "Xuanyuan, let's rest for a bit, we're too tired."
Xuanyuan Wu seemed not to hear, and began to look around anxiously, trying to find the person he could not forget.
Suddenly, a figure slowly approached from afar. Xuan Yuanwu's heart jumped into his throat, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes. However, when he saw the face clearly, the smile on his face froze.
He is a mermaid prince.
“I knew you wouldn’t give up,” the prince said calmly, seemingly unsurprised by their arrival.
"So you were originally planning to agree to our request?" Xuan Yuanwu suddenly asked, his voice filled with anger.
What does it mean that they expend so much effort?
Meeting Xuan Yuanwu's gaze, the prince gave a wry smile, "Sorry, I just wanted to confirm your strength, after all, your upcoming opponents... are very powerful!"
"But you're wasting your time!" Ling'an couldn't help but complain. "Are you happy watching us being made fools of like clowns?"
The prince's face darkened. "That was not my intention. It is just that the matter is of great importance and I have to proceed with caution."
Xuanyuan Wu snorted coldly, "Then when shall we depart?"
The prince looked at everyone and slowly said, "To obtain the Coral Heart, you must go to the Abyss of the Deep Sea, where... Luna and the Octopus King live. But it is a dangerous place. The Octopus King has the Coral Heart, and his strength is now far greater than before. If you go, you must be careful!"
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Michael frowned and asked, "More powerful than you?" The prince shook his head. "Much more powerful than you."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts and sensed the pressure.
They currently lack therapists and are already prone to injury; do they really intend to take on challenges beyond their level?
At this moment, Xuanyuan Wu changed the subject and asked, "Do you have... a very beautiful woman here?"
The prince was taken aback, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. The prince then realized what was happening and laughed, "We merfolk are not ugly. I wonder which one you're referring to?"
Xuanyuan Wu sighed helplessly. He felt no shame or anything else and continued, "I'm sorry, I don't know how to describe it, but in short... she's very beautiful."
Will suddenly looked up, then quickly looked down again, hiding the dark light in his eyes.
Qingyu chuckled softly in his ear, a hint of passion in her voice, "Should we tell him?"
Will clenched his fist tightly, his eyes fixed intently on the petals, and uttered two words in a hoarse voice—
"no!"
Qingyu's smile deepened as she coaxed softly, "Then help me get the Coral Heart, and then give it to me, okay? If you give it to me, I won't see Xuanyuan Wu anymore~"
"You know he's much better than you."
