System [I am in a horror dungeon]

The mermaids live in the deep sea, helping the sea god to purify the ocean and keep the water clean and clear.

Mermaids are good at weaving. They can use a kind of seaweed in the ocean to make cloth and clothes that are fireproof and waterproof. Their tears can turn into pearls and their eyeballs can be dug out and turned into blue beads after death. The chopped-off fish tails can be added to weapons when casting. The weapons made in this way add to the mermaid's spiritual power and are more handy. It can be said that the whole body of the mermaid is a treasure.

Because of this, the mermaid clan suffered a devastating disaster many years ago. Countless mermaids were brutally killed by the immortals. They even captured quite a few mermaids and locked them up in places without sunlight, where they were whipped every day until they could no longer shed tears. Then they dug out their eyes for decoration, chopped off their fish tails to make weapons, and then used these weapons to hunt down more mermaids.

In the past, many other clans and countries helped the mermaids, but they were all suppressed by the immortals, or became corrupted by them due to their own interests.

Just like the Liu family, the former head of the Liu family helped the mermaids and got the opportunity to repay the favor from the mermaids. But after the head of the Liu family passed away, her descendants took the initiative to repay the favor and captured many mermaids and gave them to various officials of the Qianling Kingdom, earning themselves the title of the first imperial merchant.

From then on, the merchants’ pricing rules had to be reviewed by them. If they did not meet their requirements, the entire shop would be destroyed.

Hearing this, Lu Nanyin was so angry that she didn't leave. "How could this be? They are nothing!"

Chu Lingxian smiled and said, "You are being too... euphemistic when you scold me."

"I... am not very good at swearing."

Su Liyue continued, "The Liu family is nothing. Qianling Nation turned a blind eye to these things and didn't care much. But in Yuling Nation, the royal family supported it. There were even cultivators who formed a group to hunt and kill mermaids, regardless of life or death."

"No, is there no one taking care of this matter?

"Before, someone was in charge. It was the God of Water. She managed all the rivers, lakes and seas in the world. Mermaids lived in the ocean and were under her control, but..."

"But what, she doesn't care now?"

"It's not that she doesn't care anymore, it's that she can't care now. I don't know why the immortals can be so arrogant. They pulled the water god down. The water god's true body is sleeping deep in the sea, and his spirit is wandering in the human world and can't come back."

"Water God! The Water God is one of the most powerful spirits of nature, and she can't control him!"

"Isn't it? The God of Wind, the God of Fire, the God of Wood and others came to help before, but they were all suppressed by the immortals. Now almost no one dares to mess with them."

Chu Lingxian thought for a moment, "No, someone dares to do that. The Golden Crow Clan has been fighting them, and the fight is going back and forth. They also have the support of the White Wind Clan. Basically, all bird races hate the Immortal Clan, led by the Vermillion Bird, and have been fighting the Immortal Clan for many years."

"Golden Crow! White Phoenix! Is it Xuanqing and Baiyi?"

"Yes, you're right."

"Out of curiosity, who is Suzaku? Haven't seen him yet? I've heard of him but only know that she's one of the four guardian beasts."

Chu Lingxian explained to her: "Suzaku's name is Xi, and he is Nihuang's apprentice. Nihuang was secretly killed by the immortals in the battle chapter, so they and the immortals will never stop fighting."

"Nihuang?" Lu Nanyin wondered where she had heard this name before. "Is Nihuang the Phoenix? I heard Master talk about her. She seems to have a younger brother named Fengchen, right?"

"Yes, they are siblings, but after Nihuang died, Fengchen was seriously injured and is still unconscious."

Lu Nanyin once again lamented how big the world is and how full of wonders it is!

After the rescued girl woke up, she looked at the two people of the same kind as her and became particularly close to them, and kept following them.

At this time, there was one more person around Xia Xiaoxiao. Originally, she wanted to follow Chu Ling and fall in love with her, but her temperament scared the girl. After following her for a while, she left.

In the next few days, more and more people came to practice in each place where they were stuck.

During the rest time, I learned that the immortals planned to hunt mermaids on a large scale again in three days. These practitioners were mostly from major families, and they all came to help (pick up the leftovers).

So these days, various towns are clearing out the mermaids, and the few of them can only stay overnight in a small village.

Fortunately, there are the signs made by An Chexu, which can not only help them hide their true faces, but also hide their breath, making those who are searching return empty-handed.

Three days would pass quickly, and Chu Lingxian planned to go back to report the news, but all the coastlines were now guarded by people, so it was impossible to go back, or even get close.

There was no way to go back. Now Lu Nanyin finally understood why Chu Lingxian had said those things in the bamboo house. The future she hoped for was that her race could live without worries, no longer suffer, and no longer be killed.

"I'll help you."

Lu Nanyin gave her a lot of things and told her how to use them. With the cooperation of several people, it would be possible to open a gap in the defense of the Xian Clan Hai'an Xian, allowing Chu Lingxian to return to the mermaid clan and take the remaining mermaids to a safer place.

Then, several people made a careful plan, but where to take the remaining mermaids was a problem. After all, with the evil habits of the immortals, they would poison the sea, and the mermaids would have no way to escape, and it would also cause the death and injury of thousands of marine creatures.

When several people were worried, a good news came. The Jinwu clan can accept all the mermaids. The mermaids in the Jinwu territory will be protected by the Jinwu clan. If a killing move is used against a mermaid in the Jinwu clan's territory, the Jinwu clan will unconditionally wipe out that person.

"Great, we can let the remaining mermaids go to the territory of the Golden Crow Clan, but it seems that their place is quite far from the sea."

"Don't worry about that. We can take the underground river. The only thing we need to do now is to return to the sea and prevent more mermaids from falling into their hands."

"Okay, we can go check the news on the beach first and make better preparations."

"Ah."

The next morning, several people shared the information they collected last night and made a more thorough plan.

In the afternoon, several people set out for the coast. Looking at those people who were ready to go, hatred and grief flashed in their eyes.

Xia Xiaoxiao and Su Liyue set off special fireworks on the coast. The smoke from the explosions contained various drugs, making the people who were guarding a little confused. Lu Nanyin, Chu Lingxian and the little mermaid put those people on the ground and watched Chu Lingxian sink into the water. The plan went smoothly, but an uninvited guest arrived.

This person's arrival made their plan more difficult to implement and also cost them their lives. Some people noticed the movement on the sea, and some saw the sudden fireworks and went to catch people.
