[System] Where is my vest?

"Oh my god..." Jiang Lan was shrouded in a red light all over his body. He looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Red magma, an active volcano on the seabed.Even though Jiang Lan was far enough away, he still felt very uncomfortable due to the high temperature and water pressure.

Jiang Lan looked at the building machine standing in the magma and felt deeply shocked: "How did they do it?"

The pale sea beast fish bone was thrown into the machine outside the magma area, and was penetrated into the depths of the magma by the building machine. After a while, the square bone bricks were sent out.

The sharks actually used this active crater as a natural melting pot for forging!

Jiang Lan was among the parked carts, leaning on the side of the cart and looking at the golden-eyed merman who was throwing animal bones beside the lava. He, those mermen left after pouring out the bones, didn't want to stay for a moment, Frowning, it seems that these sharks can't stay in this kind of place, let alone enter the depths of the magma area.

In addition, those buildings that can stand in the magma can withstand such a high temperature, and the materials used may be unusual.

In addition to transporting the forged objects, these buildings also have the function of collecting power from this area.

Jiang Lan wiped her face, damn it, could it be that there are also traversers among the mermaids?

Jiang Lan was stuck under the cart, how did she get here, and how did she leave.The bone-pulling sea beast swam very fast, and the sudden drop in temperature made him shiver uncontrollably.

"Ah Choo!" Jiang Lan sneezed, her whole body shivered, and her mind, which had been stupefied by the heat, became a little clearer.

He rolled his eyes and swam out from under the cart. He grabbed the side of the cart and looked at the sea beast pulling the cart.A ten-meter-long fish, although without scales, can stay at the edge of the magma area. Jiang Lan has no doubts about its rough skin and thick flesh.

Most of the monsters in the sea are powerful, but their IQ is impressive.

The sea fish that opened its huge mouth to Jiang Lan, was frozen after Jiang Lan pulled off the ribbon to reveal the golden eyes, and it took a while to keep the mouth open, backing away slowly, but didn't recognize it It was not until Jiang Lan quickly closed his mouth.

Jiang Lan was pushed back by the rushing water, thinking that the saliva of the big fish in front of him might be mixed in this current, so he couldn't help showing a look of disgust.He looked at the carload of bone bricks, thought for a while, and only took one and threw it into the system space. He didn't know if it would be useful, and if he took too many, he might startle the snake.

Jiang Lan patted the sea beast: "You continue to pull the cart and take me back."

Jiang Lan and a cart of bone bricks were pulled back to the God Needle, and worked for a long time among the commoners, looking around for news, but he heard that the God Needle was required to be built by the temple, and the temple attached great importance to the construction of the God Needle. Haven't heard anything useful.

It seems that I have to go back and ask Xiaosan, Jiang Lan thought.

Standing in the Sea God Temple, Jiang Lan looked at the carved stone with cracks in his hand with some headaches, and he couldn't stand the violent questioning, not to mention the not particularly hard carved stone. I tapped on my palm, trying to move the engraved stone: "I hope it still works."

The engraved stone glowed, and the scene of the Holy Needle appeared in front of Jiang Lan's eyes, replacing the Sea God Temple in his sight.

Jiang Lan looked around: "There seems to be no problem..."

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground startled Jiang Lan.

When Jiang Lan turned her head, she saw the puffer fish that fell to the ground, puffed up, and rolled all the way to his feet.

Seeing that Jiang Lan noticed her, the puffer fish rolled in the direction of the holy needle again.

The scene projected by the carved stone can cover the dead, but does not affect the living.

Jiang Lan looked at the pufferfish who was acting violently against the Holy Needle, and tilted her head in confusion.He put away the carved stone, picked up the fish tank that fell on the ground, held the puffer fish's fins and brought it to his eyes, shaking it: "Try becoming a human? We have difficulty communicating now."

The body of the puffer fish trembled slightly. Jiang Lan saw that it was straining, and its posture changed from holding it to holding it. Just when he thought the puffer fish was about to change, the puffer fish deflated, that is, it just deflated.

Jiang Lan: "... Should I be glad you didn't hold back your fart?"

The puffer fish's beady eyes reveal innocence.

"Alas..." Jiang Lan sighed, holding the puffer fish to find Fei Se.

When Jiang Lan found Fei Se, Xiao San was by his side, talking to him, but Fei Se's expression was somewhat troubled.

Fei Se looked relieved when she saw Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan asked: "What are you talking about?"

"Master Sea God." Xiaosan bowed to Jiang Lan and explained: "The ceremony will be held soon, please allow me to leave temporarily with scarlet color."

"Festival?"

"Yes." Xiaosan replied respectfully: "The high priest will come to visit you with outstanding clansmen, please bestow divine blood..."

Xiaosan was talking, her words paused, her expression confused: "Don't you know?"

Jiang Lan asked back with a cold face: "What should I know?"

Xiaosan hesitated and said: "Every time the high priest notifies the time of the ceremony, it is an oracle..."

Shouldn't an oracle be a command from a god...

There was a bit of tension on the scarlet face.

Jiang Lan looked at Xiaosan and said indifferently: "Actually, I just woke up from a long sleep not long ago."

Xiaosan was extremely shocked: "But the high priest has been..."

Jiang Lan waved her hand and casually interrupted Xiao San's words: "Little San, have you ever participated in the festival?"

According to the purity of Xiaosan's blood, he should be able to participate, but——

Xiao San shook her head: "I am not qualified to enter the temple, nor can I enter the temple."

Jiang Lan suddenly felt that something was wrong. Since Xiaosan couldn't enter the temple, how did she entrust him in before?

Perhaps before he came, there was something in the temple that prevented Xiao San from entering, but after he came, that thing became his eyes.

"Then you leave with Scarlet."

Fei Se looked up at Jiang Lan. Since he wanted the other party to know what the other party already knew, there was no need for him to delay leaving.

Jiang Lan watched the two sharks swim away, then turned back to the temple.

He scratched his hair a little irritably, "It seems that the system must send me something that can hide my whereabouts."

Jiang Lan realized that the merman's ceremony started when he heard a desolate horn.

Jiang Lan, who was in an invisible state, stood on the beach and watched the colorful dots appear one by one on the sea surface. The dots changed from far to near, from small to large, and brightly colored golden-eyed sharks emerged from the water. The bright scales faded, the fish tails turned into legs, and they stepped onto the sandy beach with bare feet.

The sharks lowered their brows and eyes, their faces were sincere, their lips moved in response to the sound of the horn, and they sang ethereal and moving in the shark language.

Jiang Lan listened intently, the lyrics of the mermaids were all praises of the Sea God, they thanked the Sea God for giving them strength, they thanked the Sea God for giving them their homeland, they thanked the Sea God for giving them skills, they thanked the Sea God for teaching, gifts, and mercy...

An old-faced merman stood at the front of the team, holding up the cane in his hand, and said loudly in the language of the land: "In the past, our family was facing decline, and it was Lord Sea God who fed us with his own blood. Now that our family is facing a catastrophe, the Seagod will naturally not abandon us, the Lord Seagod has already devised a way to overcome this disaster, and I will also listen to more oracle from the Seagod..."

Jiang Lan looked at the eloquent old mermaid, and thought that this must be the high priest who was full of resentment from Fei Se.

The sharks bent down and said in unison: "Thank you Sea God."

Jiang Lan frowned as she looked at the brainwashing scene of a large-scale cult in front of her. Faith can make people full of courage and go forward bravely, and it can also make people ignorant and mad.

Jiang Lan glanced at the sharks who were left outside the temple, then turned her head and followed the high priest who was walking towards the temple.He was curious, what role did the high priest play in it, the deceiver, the deceived, or both?

When approaching the temple, the high priest turned his back to the other mermen, and his expression was a bit wrong. When he stepped into the temple, his expression completely changed.

With an almost fluttering movement, he rushed to the table in front of the statue, "It's gone..."

Just when Jiang Lan thought that the high priest would immediately call someone in to look for the longan, the high priest just stood up straight, straightened his robes, then raised his staff and continued singing.

Jiang Lan watched the high priest raise his cane again and again to ask the sea god for new orders, and judged whether he could fool the high priest like he fooled the mistress.

Jiang Lan heard the high priest's voice gradually becoming hoarse, and he watched the high priest put down his cane in frustration.

"Obviously you taught us how to survive the catastrophe before, why didn't you want to issue further instructions..."

Jiang Lan bit her thumb and waited to see if she could get more information.

The high priest mentioned the Shenzhen: "The construction of the Shenzhen has not been completed, and the height is not enough to reach the seaside..."

He mentioned Xiaosan again: "The Third Highness is simple-minded and righteous, and can sacrifice for the people at any time..."

From the words of the high priest, Jiang Lan knew that the magic needle was a device used to focus the disaster on Xiaosan.

Jiang Lan has a very puzzling doubt in her heart. Ji Kong said that the threat to the mainland comes from the sea, and Jiang Lan has not found a race that is more intelligent than the mermaids.But he has never discovered the reason why the merman will pose a threat to the mainland.

Wars are usually either for profit or for survival, and the human race can't adapt to the environment in the sea, and the creatures in the sea may also have difficulty surviving on land.

Who would do thankless things?

"We need more divine blood..." Hearing what the high priest said, Jiang Lan watched the high priest take out a bone bowl, stepped forward and put it under the feet of the statue, took a few steps on his hind legs, raised his cane again, and pushed it hard On the ground, a wave of power radiated from the cane.

Jiang Lan calmly looked at the statue that echoed the cane.
