It was the first time Xue had heard of the creature such as the Kraken, and she turned around to look. At this moment, the blue light faded, and the shadow could be seen clearly. A circle of faint blue fire light was lit in the stone chamber.

"Did you trap us?" Bebo asked.

The Siren shook his head: "Don't you want to find our clan's sacred object, the Heart of the Ocean?"

"So what?"

"How can the heart of the ocean be given to people like you? How can the dirty mind of a pirate be worthy of the holy thing of our clan." The siren said calmly: "Did you see the bones over there? This It’s the result of trying to possess the heart of the ocean.”

Not far from Beibo's feet, there were a lot of skeletons piled up, and it was obvious that most of them were human. Xue felt terrified after taking a look at them.

"I sensed it. It seems that you two are not the only ones who have entered the underground palace." The sea monster sneered: "Forget it, they will all die anyway."

"It must be the captain and the others, Xiaoxue, they opened the door." Bebo said happily: "I knew the captain and the others would succeed."

"Yeah!" After hearing this, Xue felt that the fear in her heart subsided.

"It's better to worry about yourselves first." The siren showed a ferocious expression: "Everyone who breaks in here without permission will become my meal."

"So, you led us to eat us?" Xue stared at the siren.

"Of course, isn't this very interesting? Let's start with you, little girl." The siren suddenly attacked Bebo and Snow.

"How could I let you eat Xiaoxue, you stinky sea monster!" Bebo and the sea monster started an offensive and defensive battle. Xue was tied in Bebo's arms, and the violent shaking made her feel nauseous.

The speed of the Kraken was extremely fast, and Beibo couldn't resist it. The moment it neglected to defend itself, the rope tying it to Xue was broken. Beibo fell backwards into the pile of bones, while Xue fell on top of it. In front of the siren.

The skin on the palm of her hand was scratched and the pain was burning. Xue looked up at the condescending siren and couldn't help but tremble.

"Stay away from her! The stinky sea monster!" Bebo got up and just took a step, the sea monster roared at it. The impact of the sound waves made Bebo lose his footing again. Xue covered his ears. The sound was so real. A kind of torture. Half a minute later, the siren was still roaring. Xue and Beibo couldn't bear it and fainted.

"You are so weak that you dare to snatch the heart of the ocean. It is really a sacrilege to the sacred object." The siren lifted up Xue's collar, exposed his fangs, and bit her white neck.

Luo, Shakipkin and others arrived at the bottom of the spiral staircase. What made people angry was that there was another door here, but it was different from the one just now.

"Ah, I'm really tired of door-opening games. What do you want from this place?" Peijin muttered unhappily, not expecting that the many levels in front of him would be like this.

"Captain, it seems we have to open the door again." Kaiden covered the wound that had just stopped bleeding, and it could be seen that he had been enduring the pain.

Luo looked around. He could hear the sound of water here, but couldn't see it, which meant that there should be a water source behind this door. Luo wanted to try his power again, but this time the door opened by itself before he could step forward.

"........."

"What does this mean? Are you welcoming us in?" Xia Qi felt that this was not a good sign: "Captain, there may be a trap."

"Haha, isn't this obvious?" Luo Xiaoxiao said, "Let's go in and take a look."

After entering the door this time, the first thing I saw was not the trap, but the stairs going down. Under the stairs was the bottomless darkness: "How deep is it down here? We have gone down so far. It’s been a long time.”

Luo was thinking when an ethereal voice came from the deep darkness: "Humans who want to snatch the heart of the ocean, your companions are here with me."

"Ship...Captain! Someone is talking!" Peijin was startled: "Wait, she just said companion? Could it be Bebo and Xiaoxue..."

Luo didn't hesitate at all, and walked into the darkness with long legs. The remaining people looked at each other and followed, but it didn't take long before they discovered something was abnormal.

"Hey, Captain." Xia Qi was closest to Luo, so he reached out and patted him: "Did you feel anything strange?"

"Yeah." The atmosphere at this time was indeed strange, but there was something about it that I couldn't put my finger on.

"Peijin, what do you think?" Xia Qi asked again, but this time no one answered.

"Pei Jin? Why don't you say anything..." Xia Qi looked back and was stunned: "Captain..."

"Xia Qi, they... they are gone..." Xavier's voice trembled.

"What happened?" Luo just walked forward, ignoring what was behind him. Then he turned around and found that only Xia Qi and Xavier were left beside him. Pekin, Caiden and Joey suddenly disappeared mysteriously. Got it!

"This... they were clearly following us just now, how could they suddenly disappear?" Xia Qi scratched his head: "What should I do, Captain? Bebo and Xiaoxue were not found, and now they are missing again..."

"Damn it, what on earth caused this!" Luo Da had the urge to kill someone.It was obviously possible to find them with the power, but there were a lot of seastones in this place that suppressed the Devil Fruit's ability: "Follow closely, go down, I will definitely find them back."

The three of them continued to move forward and found a fork in the road.

"Captain, where are we on these three forked roads?" Xia Qi looked at the three identical passages in confusion.

"This way..." Before Luo could blurt out the last word 'go', he heard a familiar voice in the distance.

"Where did you take Xiaoxue?! Damn siren!!!" It was Bebo, it woke up.

Luo hurriedly followed the sound and ran to the passage on the right. Sure enough, after turning a few corners, he saw the panting big white bear.

"Beibo!" The first thing Luo wanted to confirm was whether they were injured. At the same time, he suddenly realized that Xue was not beside Beibo: "Where is Xiaoxue?"

"Captain... The captain is really you... Wuwuwu, it's so good to see you... Wuwuwu..." Bebo rushed over and gave Luo a bear hug.

"Okay Bebo, tell me quickly, where did Xiaoxue go?"

"By the way, Xiaoxue! It's the sea monster, and the sea monster took her away!" Bebo kept crying in two lines: "That guy knocked us out, and then I couldn't find him when I woke up. It’s snowing!”

"The sea monster...it turns out that there really is a sea monster on this island. I guessed it right." Xavier looked serious: "That's not that easy to deal with."

"Why does the siren want to capture Xiaoxue?"

"Maybe he wants to eat her, because that guy has already eaten a lot of people who come here!" Bebo was very sad and blamed himself.

Xia Qi was speechless: "Even if I want to eat, I should eat you first. You have so much meat and are so fat. You are more delicious anyway. Is a skinny girl like Xiaoxue really enough for a siren to fit between her teeth?"

"Yes, I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."

"That's enough. The first priority is to find our lost companions." Luo carefully observed the area and searched for traces of the Kraken as much as possible.

In a claustrophobic stone room, Xue woke up in a daze. What appeared in front of her eyes was a flash of crystal blue light, like the dome of light in the far north. Xue stood up, and the pain from her neck made her subconsciously After touching it, I found blood stains.Moreover, many parts of his clothes were wet, and there was water flowing around him. Beibo was nowhere to be seen at this moment, and the sea monster was nowhere to be found.

"Bebo? Bebo? Where are you?" Xue tried calling a few times, but all she heard was her own echo: "Bebo isn't here?"

Xue frowned. She seemed to have been separated from Bebo: "This is not the stone room just now. Where am I now?" Like ice, Xue reached out and touched it. It was bitingly cold: "No wonder it feels so cold. Everything here is made of ice."

The ice room was very large, with a large pool in the middle. The stone platform was in the center of the pool, and the crystal blue light came from there. Xue wanted to go over, so she got into the pool. The pool was not shallow for her. , she finally swam over with all her strength and walked to the stone platform: "This is... this transparent thing, is it the heart of the ocean that Brother Luo is looking for?"

On the stone platform, there is a wonderful heart-shaped gem inlaid. Xue guessed that this is probably the heart of the ocean.She stretched out her hand and touched the gem on the stone platform. It was as cold as the surrounding ice walls.

"Eh? Why is this gem broken?" Xue looked carefully. There was a little damage on the corner of the translucent gem. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it: "Forget it, no matter what, I We found the Heart of the Ocean, take it back to Brother Luo, and then we can leave here together." Xue used both hands to hold the edge of the gem and took it off.She looked at the gem in her hand with satisfaction: "The question now is how should I find Bebo and Brother Luo."

She took the gem and got into the pool again. This time she was swimming when she heard a voice: "It's... it's... it's... it's..." The sound of water in her ears blurred the sound, making it sound even a little... fear.

Xue was so frightened that she quickly swam ashore: "Who is talking? What is it?"

After a long while, no one answered. She quickly found an exit on the surrounding ice walls, knocking on them. After a long time, she finally encountered a mechanism somewhere. A crack appeared between the ice walls and got bigger and bigger. It was dark, but Xue felt that it should be the exit, so she stopped thinking about it and ran out. Who would want to stay in this weird ice room? It was so scary.

The siren floated up from the bottom of the pool. What she said just now was what she said. She looked at Xue's retreating back, then looked at the stone platform thoughtfully, then turned into blue light and quickly left the ice room.

Bebo took Luo to the stone room where it and Xue were just now. There was nothing there except a pile of bones. It had no way of knowing where the siren had gone.

"Captain, what should we do? Xiaoxue will definitely be scared if we are not here." Bebo's tears that had finally stopped were about to flow out again.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The sudden screams made several people tremble. Bebo immediately stopped talking and looked at his companions next to him. Well, the screams did not come from them.

"Captain, it can't be Pekin and the others, right?" Xavier was worried.

"It doesn't sound like the voice. I've been with him for a long time. If it was him, I would definitely be able to tell the difference." Xia Qi restrained himself and calmed down. He couldn't panic in this situation.

"I don't sound like Kaiden, and if it's a man's voice, it definitely can't be Joey or Xiaoxue." Bebo thought for a moment and said, "Then, besides us, there are others here."

"It seems we are not the only ones who want the heart of the ocean." Luo picked up a long knife and followed the sound, and saw a creature with a human upper body and a fish tail piercing a person's chest with sharp claws. .

"Captain! It's her! She captured Xiaoxue!" Bebo pointed at the siren and shouted.

"Master Siren, it's all your fault, right?" Luo approached with ill intentions.

The Siren shook off the person he had killed and looked at Luo: "It's me, but you are the ones who trespassed."

"Stop talking nonsense, where is Xiaoxue? Where are the other companions? Where are they? Hand them over." Guiwei had already unsheathed his sword and pointed it at the Kraken.

"Xiaoxue? That little girl?" The siren smiled and said: "Don't worry, you are not the only ones who are trespassing. I have eaten enough today and will not eat her. As for the others, go find them. You can leave when you find them. , but I won’t give the Heart of the Ocean to you.”

"Did you say that my companion is with you?"

"Yes, but I'm talking about this bear and the little girl. As for the others, they may have encountered the trap." The siren's tone was a bit sarcastic: "I have time to waste here, so I might as well go find you quickly. partners, otherwise they might die, there are many traps in this underground palace."

"Master Siren, you'd better tell the truth." With that said, Luo turned around and prepared to find other companions.

"Oh, it's the truth. But I would like to remind you that this underground palace will collapse soon and this island will sink. If you want to leave, hurry up."

"What?!" Xia Qi and Beibo were surprised: "What do you mean the underground palace is collapsing and the island is going to sink? Why?"

The siren didn't answer, it just turned into blue light and disappeared.
