After the holy monk dropped his vest

These sharks who turned into stone statues are another story.

The pearl is still in the holy spring, and it will take some time to fully activate the blood.

Lu Hengben was a little curious about why Quan Xian appeared in the Far Eastern Kingdom and became the king's favorite young son.However, this was Quan Xian's private matter, so he didn't have the heart to delve into it.

Now that Quan took the initiative to speak first, Lu Heng followed suit.

The depletion of the holy spring, to the mermaids, means the demise of this race.They didn't know the reason for the depletion of the holy spring, and they all thought that it was difficult for the mermaids to give birth and their lifespan was shortened, all because of the depletion of the holy spring.

If this continues, the mermaid race will be doomed.As the king of the sharks, Quan Xian naturally wouldn't sit idly by.After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to sacrifice himself, plunge into the holy spring and turn it into a spring after reading all the relevant classics.

He stayed in the holy spring for thousands of years.When he turned into a spring, Quan was unconscious at first, until a hundred years ago, he suddenly regained consciousness.

When Quan first opened his eyes, he saw only the almost exhausted spring water and the clansmen around him turned into stone statues.

"They only left me this jade slip."

Quan Xian's eyes were a little red, but his gaze was fierce, as if he remembered something that he hated so much.He raised his head and closed his eyes, and after calming down a bit, he handed the jade slip to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng pressed the jade slip on his forehead, and all the last messages of these sharks rushed into Lu Heng's mind.

At that moment, Lu Heng remembered the scene of rescuing Mo Huai back then.Even if Mo Huai did such an ungrateful thing now, those cultivators back then deserved death.

What happened to the mermaid tribe was almost the same as what Mo Huai experienced back then.

However, one of the chief culprits who caused these mermen's misery was Mo Huai.

All the crimes originate from that snake bone qin.

After the spring plunged into the holy spring, the drying up of the holy spring stopped, but it failed to produce new spring water.

The mermaid's lifespan is no longer shortened, but no new life is born.If things go on like this, the mermaid clan will still not be able to get rid of the catastrophe of extinction.

What's more, they can't just watch their king stay in the spring for the sake of their clansmen forever, and prevent the holy spring from drying up at the cost of their own lives.

The remaining mermen, after discussing, decided to go to the outside world to find all kinds of natural treasures, which might replenish the aura of the holy spring.

Everything is about the balance of the five elements.Even if the water attribute is the most important thing in the holy spring, the rest of the attributes need to grow together to form an endless trend.

Although the sharks have countless treasures in their hands, these treasures are all from the Endless East Sea, and they are all water-attribute spiritual treasures.

They chose to contact the royal family of the Far Eastern Kingdom, exchanging the treasures in their hands for natural treasures of other attributes on land.From the eyes of the sharks, the Far Eastern Kingdom is within the envelope of the sharks, and they can only contact the outside world on the foggy day every 30 years.

This is almost the most appropriate and safe transaction object.Among the merman race, merman other than the king do not have the power to manipulate merman.

But in the shark, the ability of the shark to confuse people's mind is strengthened.

At the time of the transaction, none of the sharks went ashore and only traded at sea.Once the human beings have abnormal movements, they will confuse them with the mermaid song, and then dive into the sea.From the eyes of the mermen, there is no risk in this transaction, and it is almost foolproof.

In the first period of time, it was true.

The trade between the sharks and the royal family of the Far East lasted for hundreds of years.The two parties live in peace and harmony and benefit each other.

Until a hundred years ago, disaster struck.

At the time of that transaction, the royal family of the Far East claimed that the quantity of goods was relatively large, so the sharks dispatched more than half of their tribe to participate in the transaction.

Unexpectedly, the royal family of the Far East suddenly attacked the Merman during the transaction.Someone on board played music with a magic weapon, and the mermaid song was useless to these royal families.On the contrary, the mermaids were bewildered and lost the ability to resist.

The mermen who participated in the transaction that day were all wiped out.

Afterwards, the mermen tried to rescue the tribe, but they were all captured one by one because they couldn't resist the power of the mysterious music.

In the end, the desperate sharks chose to sacrifice their lives to exchange their king from the holy spring.

Needless to say, Lu Heng can also guess that the mysterious magic weapon that appeared in the hands of the royal family of the Far East and became a sharp weapon against the mermaids is the Snake Bone Qin.This can also explain why the qin made of snake bones appears in the hands of Wang Quanxian, a mermaid who has almost never left the Far Eastern Kingdom.

"I killed the royal family of the Far East who participated in this incident, but I failed to rescue those people who were arrested." Quanxian smiled bitterly, "Later, I took control of the royal family of the Far East with the power of the snake bone zither. Looking for heaven, material and earth treasures to fill the holy spring, while looking for a way to continue the mermaid race."

Quan didn't say the whereabouts of those captured mermaids, but Lu Heng knew that all the captured mermaids should have been sold to the mainland.Even the mermaids left behind by the Far Eastern Kingdom probably suffered the cruelest treatment.

There is a kind of secret technique, which is to refine a living merman to make an ever-burning lamp, and put it in the mausoleum to be immortal for ten thousand years.It is said that future generations can be guaranteed to continue and thrive.

All imperial power seeks a long-term foundation.How could the royal family of the Far East miss such an opportunity after capturing the Merman?

The stone statues surrounding the spring also prove this point.Among them, more than a dozen merman stone statues are dark red in color, and they are exactly the images sacrificed by evil methods.

Quan glanced at Shi Kong first: "That day, when I returned to the Far Eastern Kingdom from my family, I picked him up unconscious at sea. When I checked his injuries, I found another kind of blood in his body that came from the same age. With the breath of the source, and the pure spiritual power, I thought of a way to use him to continue the blood."

Lu Heng finally understood how the arrogant and pure-blooded Merman would think of having an heir with Shi Kong. It was entirely the fault of the Taoist couple's contract.

Shi Kong and himself as the demon king Ba Snake have formed half of the Taoist companion contract, so his body will naturally carry the breath of the ancient spirit beast Ba Snake.For the mermaid Wang Quanxian, who was also born from the essence of heaven and earth, this breath naturally comes from the same source.

"You should know that one or two newborn mermaids can't change the current situation of the mermaid tribe." Lu Heng said.

"Of course I know." Quan Xian smiled miserably, "It's just that when you are desperate, it's just a straw, and you will hold on tightly."

Lu Hengquan's expression was full of sorrow, his eyes were a little dazed, and he knew that the mermaid had become the opponent's demon.If this continues, Quan Xian is afraid that he will fall into madness.

"What's the matter with corals and pearls? You don't know they exist?" Lu Heng turned the topic to the two merman girls present, thereby pulling Quan Xianzhi out of his demons.

"I don't know." Quan glanced at the coral first, then at the pearl, and finally his face improved a bit.

At least, in this Qianyuan Continent, he is not the last mermaid.

At this moment, Pearl's fish tail began to glow faintly, and her face became rosy.

I saw the girl lying in the blue spring water, her eyelashes fluttered a few times, and then she opened her bright eyes.

Pearl woke up, still a little dazed, she looked around, as if she didn't understand where she was.Perhaps thinking of the scene when he was in a coma, he exerted all his strength and jumped up.

Pearl's fish tail was already immersed in the spring, and the shark's tail was already extremely powerful.She jumped up from the spring, and with a flick of the fish's tail, most of the spring water was blown away by her.

Like a light rain, the spring water flying in the air hit the wall of the pool.Fortunately, the pool wall is high enough, so that these precious spring water did not splash to other places, but all flowed back along the clean pool wall.

But at that moment, Lu Heng noticed something strange.

There is something at the bottom of the spring.

The moment the pearl jumped up, Coral went to comfort the panicked girl.

Seeing familiar people, Pearl's emotions finally stabilized.She said something to Shan Hu, and then walked towards Lu Hengyou excitedly.

"Brother Lu, this place is amazing. It's obviously not in the water, but you can swim like you're in the water. It's a great feeling."

Lu Heng smiled helplessly. This child, Pearl, really has enough nerves to accept the fact that he is not human so easily.

However, because of the tragic experience of the mermaid tribe just now, the stagnant and gloomy atmosphere was swept away with Pearl's waking up.

Lu Heng was talking with Pearl, but his mind was always lingering in the glimpse just now.

For some reason, the things at the bottom of the spring always made him extremely concerned.At the bottom of the spring, some patterns are engraved.

Lu Heng always felt that those inscriptions seemed familiar.

"Sister Coral, we are like this, can we still go back to the island to live?"

Turtle Island!Pearl's words gave Lu Heng a flash of inspiration.

The pattern at the bottom of the spring was the same formation he had seen before under the floor tiles of the Sea Temple on Turtle Island.

The merman spirit spring, the leftover merman blood, the Sea God Temple, and the mysterious formation, there must be some kind of connection among them.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng asked: "Have the people on your island always had that strange disease that makes them unable to walk after getting old?"

Pearl shook her head blankly.

Shan Shan frowned and thought about it, and replied: "When I was bored, I read the history of the village. It seems that there was no such strange disease before. I also paid attention to the first person who suffered from this strange disease. That's in..."

The time when the first strange disease mentioned by Coral was not far from the time when the holy spring was exhausted as said by Quan Xian.All merman, after birth, need to soak in the holy spring before they can fully awaken and become real merman.

Pearl and Coral are both native Turtle Island residents.Coral accidentally fell into the holy spring, awakening the blood.

And Pearl started to show strangeness only after meeting Quanxian that day.Quan had been integrated with the holy spring for thousands of years, and he naturally carried the breath of the holy spring. After the pearl touched him, the power of the blood began to awaken, which is also normal.

Those islanders who cannot walk may be caused by the depletion of the holy spring.

"This matter may be related to your mermaid inheritance. I'm going to see the formation at the bottom of the spring, okay?" Lu Heng asked Quan Xian for his opinion.

After all, this is the holy land of the Merman Clan, and Lu Heng couldn't break in without the permission of the Merman King.

Quan Xian nodded: "When I brought you here, the Merman Clan will have no secrets to hide."

Lu Heng glanced at Quan Xian, and he was still magnificent and beautiful, but he was completely different from that young master Quan who had a delicate air in the king's palace in the Far East.

Standing here at this moment is a lonely king who sacrificed everything for his people.

Lu Heng sighed in his heart, and walked towards the holy spring.
