Nobody understands cardboard people better than me

Chapter 392 Hole Cards
Although the three little girls, Lan Sha and Bing'er, were all pretty good-looking, Huang Chengyang, who had an outstanding temperament and looked like a big man at first glance, was by his side, so there were no flies to disturb their interest.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, this is a happy family of five.

A group of five people stopped and stopped, and they learned many interesting things about this continent.

Of course, both Huang Chengyang and the fourth daughter gave high praise to the special food here.

Although it is not as good as Sakuya's cuisine in terms of taste, it is better because of its novelty and the taste is not bad, so it is not surprising that it received such a high evaluation.

However, after half a year, Huang Chengyang decided to terminate their tour.

According to the news heard from the surrounding population, it seems that the sea beasts of the endless sea have rioted and suddenly started attacking the coastal cities.

Up to now, several cities have been attacked by sea beasts, and two small cities were directly destroyed by sea beasts.

The city lords, soldiers, cultivators and tens of thousands of ordinary people in the city were wiped out, and no one was spared.

Now, this matter has attracted the attention of the major powers in the mainland. Several top powers have sent their disciples to the coastal areas to investigate the situation, and by the way, they will be stationed in the coastal cities to avoid the occurrence of the sea beast massacre again.

After hearing the news, Huang Chengyang and Lan Sha looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Teacher, this..." Lan Sha looked worried.

"Forget it, since that's the case, let's go back and have a look now."

Huang Chengyang naturally knew what she was worried about.

Why did the sea beast attack the city suddenly?Obviously driven by the sea beasts infected by Cthulhu's breath.

Or maybe it was the group of sea beasts infected by Cthulhu's breath that were attacking.

But there is a problem that at the very beginning, the range of activities of the sea beasts affected by Cthulhu's breath was only in the depths of the endless sea, near the space passage.

It's not too far away from the territory of the mermaid clan, but it's ridiculously far away from the mainland.

That distance is close to eight or nine thousand kilometers, which is much larger than the radius of Blue Star before the spiritual energy was revived.

It is self-evident what will happen to the mermaid clan that is closer to it if the territory of such a distant human race has been affected.

But Lansha still had a glimmer of hope.

What if?
What if some members of the tribe escape at the last moment?

Therefore, in order to reassure her, or give up, Huang Chengyang decided to take her back to have a look.

Otherwise, Lansha might not be in the mood to continue practicing.

Because when she didn't come back this time, Lan Sha was very anxious, and naturally she was in a hurry.

Therefore, Huang Chengyang did not adopt the slow method when he came here, but directly showed the tip of the iceberg of his strength as a true god.

With a wave of his right hand, a light door full of mysterious aura suddenly appeared in front of him.

Through this door, one can vaguely see that the other end is a deep and dark seabed.

"This portal leads directly to your mermaid territory, step through it, and we will return to your hometown."

Before Lan Sha could ask, Huang Chengyang explained.

"Ah this."

Lan Sha opened her mouth, eyes full of shock.

Although through spending more than half a year with her day and night, she knows that her teacher is very powerful, far beyond what ordinary demigods can match.

But to instantly construct a deep sea connected to countless kilometers away with a wave of your hand, wouldn't that be too outrageous?

With this skill, where in the world can he go?
Even if several demigods are besieging him, if he wants to leave, who can stop him?
"Don't stand there stupidly, I don't want to see how your house is doing?"

Standing at the door of the portal, Huang Chengyang looked back and saw that Lan Sha was still in a daze, so he couldn't help urging helplessly.

Where is this going?

If in the future you see me fighting against the True God, or seeing Cthulhu and the others appear, won't you pass out on the spot from the excitement?

"hurry up!"

"Ah, oh, here we come!"

After being called out by Huang Chengyang, Lan Sha finally came back to her senses, followed behind him, and walked directly across the portal.

At the other end, Huang Chengyang glanced around, frowning slightly.

This is indeed the territory of mermaids, and my positioning is not wrong.

But the surrounding environment is very different from when they left.

Looking around, the originally beautiful underwater scenery all disappeared, replaced by countless blood and corpses.

There are subordinate races of mermaids such as murlocs, as well as sea beasts.

However, all the bodies of the sea beasts were left with only bones, without any flesh and blood.

It is not difficult to see from the broken marks on the bones that they were bitten off by other large creatures.

Therefore, it is very likely that the sea beasts who died here were eaten by their compatriots and became nutrients for their growth.

"No no. No!"

Looking at the scene in front of her, Lan Sha's eyes darkened and she almost fainted.

She couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to believe it, her clan land had become a dead land.

"Sasha, calm down, there are very few mermaid corpses here, maybe your group hasn't become extinct yet."

Huang Chengyang frowned and comforted in a low voice.

He had discovered from the very beginning that there were so many corpses here, but the mermaid corpses only accounted for a very small part.

Compared with the huge sea of ​​corpses and bones here, this is really strange.

You must know that this is the territory of the mermaid clan. How could it be possible that only the subordinate race of mermaids died in such a large-scale invasion of sea beasts?
Therefore, Huang Chengyang boldly guessed that either the mermaid clan had been swallowed by sea beasts, leaving no corpses behind.

Either the mermaid clan still has a trump card and has saved most of the clan members, and is looking for opportunities to break out or counterattack.

Regarding these two conjectures, Huang Chengyang is more inclined to the second one.

When he first came into contact with the Mermaid Clan, he encountered a battle between the Mermaid Clan and the mutant sea beast.

At that time, the group of mutated sea beasts didn't have much interest in the corpses of the mermaid clan for some unknown reason.

Even if most sea beasts swallowed a mermaid, they would spit it out in the end.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that the mermaid clan will be swallowed up and there will be no scum left.

And the mermaid race is an ancient race that has been passed down for more than [-] years. Who would believe that they only rely on the protection of those demigods to continue their race?
They also have other life-saving cards, it is inevitable!
After hearing Huang Chengyang's reminder, Lan Sha suddenly woke up.

She observed the surrounding environment, and sure enough, as Huang Chengyang said, there were not many mermaid corpses.

In other words, the number of mermaid corpses here is far less than the total number of mermaid people.

"By the way, the palace!"

Lansha suddenly remembered that her father had mentioned to herself that their palace of the mermaid clan, besides being magnificent and representing the cards of the mermaid clan, also had strong practicality.

Since the establishment of that palace, every king and every demigod must set up a strong defensive restriction in the palace, generation after generation, never ending.

Moreover, in addition to setting up their own restrictions, future generations of kings and demigods must also strengthen the restrictions of previous generations.

Therefore, the Mermaid Palace is not just a palace, but also a top-level defensive equipment that has been passed down for 10 years, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an "artifact".

Even if there are demigods among the invading sea beasts, it is definitely not an easy task to break the restriction of the mermaid palace and harm the people inside.

Maybe, the rest of my clansmen are staying in the Mermaid Palace right now!

Thinking of this, Lan Sha swam towards the palace.

Seeing Lan Sha's sudden movement, Huang Chengyang raised his eyebrows, and led Bing'er, Xiao Ying, and Xiao Ran to follow directly.

He knew that Lan Sha remembered the life-saving trump card of her own race.

Following Lan Sha, he saw her looking towards the palace from a distance in a dark place. Huang Chengyang couldn't help but went up to her with some amusement.

"Why didn't you rush? Weren't you very brave just now?" Huang Chengyang teased with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I was impulsive."

Lan Sha lowered her head guiltily, not daring to look into Huang Chengyang's eyes.

She had just been focused on confirming the safety of her clan members, but she had forgotten that this sea area was no longer the domain of her mermaid clan.

This place has been occupied by mutated sea beasts, and the mermaids can only hide in the palace and dare not come out.

If Huang Chengyang's power hadn't been covering Lan Sha's body just now, covering her figure and aura, she would have been discovered by the demigod sea beast who was still here just now with her reckless appearance.

Huang Chengyang's ridicule and Lan Sha's guilt were all because of this matter.

"Okay, you don't have to say sorry to me. This time I will teach you a lesson. You have to remember that you are not only my apprentice, you are also the eldest princess of the mermaid clan and the next generation of mermaid queen.

Your existence is related to the future survival and continuation of the mermaid family.Therefore, your life belongs to you and does not belong to you. You must always be vigilant and in awe to ensure your own safety. Otherwise, the mermaid clan will have no future under your leadership! "

"Yes, teacher, I will remember your teachings."

"Yeah. Ruzi can be taught." Huang Chengyang nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he set his sights on the palace of the mermaid clan.

To be more precise, it is above the layer after layer of restrictions outside the palace.

"Is this the last trump card of your mermaid clan? It's quite interesting. However, these restrictions are fine for defense, but they are much weaker than the defense system when it comes to counterattack."

"Teacher, these restrictions are the result of the strengthening and expansion of my mermaid clan generation after generation. At present, it seems that those demigod-level sea beasts have nothing to do with it. The value of its existence has actually fully met the requirements. .

As for your poor attack ability, that's quite normal.

After all, the ancestors never expected that one day my mermaid clan would be reduced to a demigod.

According to the records of our clan, when our mermaid clan was at its most glorious, there were a total of twelve demigods existing at the same time, and one of them was the ultimate demigod.

With this level of strength, even if there is a strong enemy coming, as long as the clansman hides in the palace, with the protection of the palace ban, there is no need to worry about the safety of the clansman.

And the demigod ancestors who have no worries about the future can attack with all their strength without any scruples, expel or kill the powerful enemies that come.

With such a strong background, the imperial palace's restriction does not need to consider the issue of attack at all, because the twelve demigods are enough to solve all the troubles that threaten the survival and continuation of the mermaid clan.

But since the world was short, not only my mermaid race, but all races in this world have become more and more difficult to give birth to demigods. In our generation, only the ancestor Zelos is left.

Moreover, he has been a demigod for 7000 years. If he can't break through to become a demigod in the rest of his lifespan, even if there is no sea beast invasion, he can only protect us for another 1000 years at most.

It is also because I feel that my family may lose the protection of the demigod, so I, the mermaid who is most likely to be promoted to the demigod for thousands of years, has been placed with great expectations by the people;

At the same time, the ancestor of Zelos took precautions, and the palace ban began to have offensive means, but the means of the ancestor of Zelos alone were limited after all, so the offensive function of the ban was far less powerful than the defensive ban reinforced by countless ancestors. "

After listening to Lan Sha's explanation, Huang Chengyang nodded clearly.

"The ancestors of your family are very courageous, but human power is still defeated by God's will after all. God's will is like this, so I don't blame you for falling into this end."

Lansha smiled bitterly, her voice a little melancholy.

"Yeah, fate is hard to break, maybe this is the fate of my mermaid family."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Huang Chengyang gave him a slap in the face.

"Ah, teacher, why are you beating me?"

Lan Sha covered her head and looked at Huang Chengyang with teary eyes.

Teacher, you are too cruel, you have a bag!
"God's will? Since the appearance of these sea beasts with the aura of evil gods, God's will can't control the world! As my apprentice, you can't succumb to God's will! Destiny is hard to break? As long as you want, we can break this destiny!"

"Huh? Teacher, you mean, you have a way to save my people, right?"

Lan Sha's eyes were shining, and she looked at Huang Chengyang with longing eyes.

"I can be saved, but what good is it for me?"

"Huh? The family members who save your good disciple also benefit from it, don't they?"

"Well, saving your father, king and brothers and sisters is not beneficial, but your mermaid clan is so huge, it will take a lot of effort to save them all. Nizi, you don't want to kidnap your master and me morally, and then prostitute for nothing A wave?"

"Teacher, don't get me wrong, I'm not that kind of person."

Lan Sha shook her head quickly.

She herself is very clear, she is herself, and her tribe is her tribe.

The teacher can see that saving her relatives for the sake of his apprentice is already doing his best. If he wants to save the lives of her whole family, even if he is an apprentice, there is no reason for the teacher to pay for nothing.

And thanks to his teacher, other demigods misunderstood that he wanted to help save people for free under the noses of other demigods. I was afraid that he would have been slapped to death long ago.

Dare to prostitute a demigod?You are also worthy of an epic little guy?
Therefore, she is still very clear about her position.

Relying on your identity as an apprentice to kidnap the master morally, believe it or not, you will be expelled from the master's door every minute?

Moreover, other demigods might not be as capable as their teacher!
