[System] Where is my vest?

"Oh." Jiang Lan was indifferent to Shen Zhuo's words: "That's really hard for Ji Yunyue and the others."

"Yeah." Regarding Jiang Lan's cold reaction, Shen Zhuo didn't think it was wrong, anyway, he didn't say this to Jiang Lan.

However, Shen Zhuo was still a little concerned about Jiang Lan's attitude towards Xia Yan. He also had his own thoughts. His eyes shifted from Jiang Lan's face to the puffer fish in Jiang Lan's arms: "Is this your pet?"

Jiang Lan retorted decisively: "No, it's grain reserves."

"..." Shen Zhuo suggested tentatively: "I think this fish is quite cute, why don't you keep it for fun..."

Can actually hear the word "cute" from Guhan Jianzun's mouth, Jiang Lan looked at Shen Zhuo with a surprised look, has this person been taught to be so down-to-earth by Yuan'er?

"If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Shen Zhuo looked at the fish tank stuffed into his arms, and silently closed his mouth.

"How did you find this? If it were me, I would have lost my way in the sea."

"Originally, I was led by the merman who broke into the forest. Then I met an old merman. When we fought, he said that he wanted to destroy me, the intruder, but in fact, he kept making me I lead in this direction."

Jiang Lan thought to herself, the high priest wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, but sent him a companion, and he didn't know how the high priest would feel when he found out.

Jiang Lan looked at the white long sword pinned to Shen Zhuo's waist, and guessed in his heart that the opponent's strength might be greatly suppressed here.

"This is that parrot demon... called the system, right? He gave it to me." Shen Zhuo stroked the sword body and said, "The environment at sea can do great damage to Chi Xiao, and the same is true for the wooden sword Yuan'er gave me. Although this sword is not easy to use, it is better than nothing."

"This is the bone of a monster in the sea. Of course you can't use your fire spirit root very well." Jiang Lan propped her chin and asked, "So the conditions are so difficult, why are you here? Don't tell me that you are here to help. It seems like you can't do anything here?"

"...Yuan'er wants dragon blood, which is the divine blood in the shark's mouth." Now that she had opened her mouth, Shen Zhuo decided to finish: "She wants to use dragon blood to get rid of the evil part of her body, and then Into the demon way."

"Huh?" Jiang Lan was a little skeptical: "Can this work? Although this is a bit unpleasant, her grandfather chose me as her guardian at the beginning because dragon blood can restrain evil things."

"Dragon's blood is a knife to Yuan'er." Shen Zhuo looked vaguely disappointed: "What role this knife can play depends on the person holding the knife."

And the knife holder that Yuan'er trusted was Jiang Lan, not him.

Jiang Lan calculated the pros and cons of it. Yuan'er's so-called evil part should refer to her roots. Even if she doesn't want to admit it, it has become a part of her life. If she loses this part, Yuan'er will definitely suffer. It was not a small injury, but with the support of the forest's vitality, it might be able to support her through the subsequent period of weakness and bring her back to life, but the problem now is the divine punishment brought by the dragon's blood.

"This method may work, but it doesn't work now. People with dragon blood now face the destruction of heaven." Jiang Lan, who had already expected Shen Zhuo's question, spoke first: "Don't ask me why I'm fine, I say no Clearly, you can assume that it is because I am an outsider."

Shen Zhuo rubbed between his brows: "How long will it take? How did the mermaid's dragon blood come from?"

Jiang Lan sighed, and told the story Long Zun told him: "The world is in decline, and I can no longer bear too powerful lives, and I can't send them out. Their respective places of refuge let them wait for the world to prosper again, like the real dragon and phoenix, and the blue dragon, white tiger and vermilion bird Xuanwu, these are powerful beings that only exist in legends now."

"The gods and beasts are headed by the real dragon and the phoenix respectively. Some hide in the deep sea, and some are located on the mainland. I don't know much about the others. At that time, he took a fancy to the extremely intelligent but very weak mermaid clan in the sea. The real dragon test gave them strength by giving them dragon blood. Of course, he was very careful to ensure that the amount of dragon blood outside the refuge would not More than the world can bear." Jiang Lan changed her voice: "But he didn't count the greed of the merman. The mermen became stronger, allowing them to fully reproduce, and the number of merman increased, and the blood was diluted. , and the power is getting smaller and smaller."

Being able to build mechanical buildings in magma shows the power of the first-generation merman who was given dragon blood.

"Someone took the opportunity to seduce the mermen and taught them how to steal the dragon's blood from the dragon's tomb." Jiang Lan said: "Not all mermen know the truth. Some people made up lies to establish theocracy."

Shen Zhuo: "Is this person 'Sea God'?"

"In the beginning, the sharks enshrined the real dragon, and they called the real dragon the sea god. Later..." Jiang Lan shrugged: "Anyway, for the sharks who don't know the truth, the person with the most dragon blood may be the sea god. But for the sharks who know the truth, whoever can help them escape their past mistakes is the sea god."

"So, you can't expect me to be able to speak among the mermaids. If I make them do things against their will, such as giving up the chance to live, as long as someone guides them, they can deny my identity as the sea god at any time."

To put it bluntly, if you can't bring benefits, who will take you seriously.

"..." After a moment of silence, Shen Zhuo said: "Listen to you, the mermaid is seeking his own death."

"So they're now creating life in a dead end."

After Jiang Lan's words fell, the puffer fish that was stuffed into Shen Zhuo's arms reacted violently.Most of the seawater in the fish tank was vacated by him, a small part splashed on Jiang Lan's body, and most of it splashed on Shen Zhuo's body.

"..." Jiang Lan wiped her face, and stretched out her hand to try to regain her peripheral vision: "That..."

Although Jiang Lan said that he would stew the puffer fish into a pot of soup, before Shen Zhuo came, he was helpless on this island, and the puffer fish had feelings after raising it, and it became his comfort .

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhuo avoided Jiang Lan's hand, and made a request with a blank face: "I want to talk to him..."

"Ah?" Jiang Lan explained subconsciously: "Then he vomits one bubble is yes, and he spit two bubbles is no..."

Shen Zhuo looked at Jiang Lan, and couldn't help showing "how did you come up with such a stupid way" in his eyes: "A monster like this who has opened up his intelligence can't speak human words, you don't think about it, City Lord Yin." Have you communicated directly with divine consciousness?"

"Ha, ha... Can the divine sense still be used like this?" Jiang Lan laughed dryly. Speaking of it, he always thought that the divine sense had only two functions, one was to replace the eyes, and it was used to scare people with lower cultivation bases than himself.For the previous purpose, he had only used the system once before.

Falling into reflection, Jiang Lan didn't notice that Shen Zhuo carried the puffer fish to the corner of the temple to "face the wall".

But at this moment, outside the temple.

Fei Se's expression was flustered, he looked at the female mermaid in front of him, and turned to run away, but the other's words made him stop in his tracks.

"Even you—do you want to give up on the third brother?" The mermaid said with contempt on her face, "You are like a parasite in the deep sea, living by the third brother, but doing nothing!"

Scarlet was unwilling: "What can I do, what can I do for him?!"

"You can do a lot, and the high priest will teach you how to do it." The second princess of the shark turned around and swam a few meters away, looking back at Fei Se.

Scarlet gritted her teeth and followed.

"Go in, the high priest is waiting for you in the temple." The second princess looked at the vigilant Fei Se indifferently, "You have already arrived here, if we want to do something to you, can you escape?"

Scarlet stepped into the temple, and the door of the temple slammed shut behind him, shaking him in fright.

The high priest approached Scarlet with a staff in his hand: "You are Scarlet?"

Scarlet shivered and nodded: "Yes."

"You speak the language of God well." The high priest asked lovingly, "Did the Third Highness teach you?"

"Yes……"

The high priest continued: "It seems that he loves you very much."

Because of love, I have enough patience to give all the things I think are good.

Scarlet became more and more frightened, he was worried that the high priest called him to threaten the Third Highness with himself.

"The Third Highness has sacrificed a lot for the whole family." The high priest sighed: "The mermaid tribe is facing a catastrophe. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, we must make some sacrifices. We need a hero to bear this catastrophe for the whole family. The divine blood that surpasses other merman."

Scarlet has heard of this before, and when he was wondering why the high priest said these things to him, he heard the high priest continue to say: "The king and queen also agree with this matter, and they created a third A child, and sacrificed his blood to this child..."

Fei Se looked up at the high priest, and blurted out in surprise: "The Third Highness did not kill his father and mother!"

"Yes." The high priest was very regretful, "But His Royal Highness and the second princess saw it. They are still young, so naturally they can't understand the complexity..."

Scarlet calmed down a bit: "Then...why didn't you explain."

In addition to Xiaosan's brother and sister, there are many other sharks who have deeply misunderstood him.

"I was doing the next thing at the time, and when I finished these things, things had already become like this." The high priest's eyes sparkled, and then he said something more attractive to Scarlet: "Although His Royal Highness was born to Sacrifice, but at least he is a child who grows up under my eyes, if there is another way without sacrificing the Third Highness, I will naturally try it."

Scarlet asked excitedly: "What do you mean by other methods?"

The high priest spoke unhurriedly, and at the end his voice was bewitching: "The Holy Needle is about to be completed, you only have one chance."
