Hey!Long Jun, please wait a moment

early the next morning

The orderly, sturdy and strong Sicilian Sea Dragon Guards lined up at full speed, with great momentum, the sea animals hid and dodged one after another, and looked up secretly, only to see a large overwhelming shadow passing by above.I bumped into a few small groups of mutant sharks, those who were not afraid of death were wiped out on the spot, and those who were afraid of death quickly turned around and fled with their tails waving.

The Sicilian Hailong family has a shallow foundation. In order to help the East China Sea, half of the elite warriors were dispatched as best as possible. There have been no serious casualties so far.

"It's very risky to bring almost half of the brothers out this time." Rong Ge only dared to say this in private, and he worried: "When we set off, we also found some mutated animals near the sea... I hope you are safe at home. nothing."

Ao Yi comforted: "Although there are a lot of brothers brought out this time, but the father and the king are in charge of the family, and uncle Xiao You is going to sea to care, so it will be fine."

"I hope the God of the Sea will bless the innocent people, just die the damned." Rong Ge blurted out.

Ao Yi felt very ashamed inexplicably, and said deeply: "Oh, Uncle Wang is really wrong this time. I really don't understand why he made a secret medicine? How many innocent lives have been killed? The reputation and prestige accumulated by generations of the Eastern Sea royal family have been destroyed Yu once, I am afraid that even his own people will be hard to appease now."

"What's none of your business?" Rong Ge rolled his eyes angrily, "It's not the secret medicine you made to do evil, the Sicilian sea dragons never do things that are punished by the gods! Hmph, we came back this time to save innocent people The people who are here... by the way, save Ao Feng and the old Dragon King, they are also quite pitiful, they must have been implicated and scolded miserably."

As for the Dragon King of the East China Sea?Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the time must be coming soon!

"Do your best." Ao Yi could only say this, he was puzzled and said: "Swimming here, although the mutated animals on the way are difficult, they are not invincible. The Dragon Guards of our family are probably less than one-tenth of the East China Sea, so why are they so defeated? What are the grown-up orcs doing?"

"I also find it strange." Rong Ge frowned tightly, with disdain and contempt in his doubts, and said coldly: "If there are too many mutant animals in the first place, and the Dragon Guards go all out and still lose, I will I respect them for being true warriors! However, if it is because of poor command from above, or if the dragon guards passively resist and fight and retreat, it will be disgusting."

Ao Yi shook his head: "It is unlikely to resist passively. The mutant shark will attack the female cub after eating the orc. Which orc has no relatives and friends? Even for their own family, they will go all out."

... The biggest possibility is that the command is ineffective.

Everyone who didn't say this half sentence knew it in their hearts, but Ao Yi, as a junior, couldn't judge his relatives wantonly - yelling and cursing didn't help the matter, it was meaningless.

While swimming, the team in front suddenly stopped, and there was a sound of excitement and surprise.

"What's going on?" Ao Yi looked at it with concern.

"I'll go and have a look." Rong Ping, who was next to him, immediately went forward, and soon came back with a rare smile, and said happily: "There is a little mermaid hiding in the reef cave ahead, she is not injured!"

"Little mermaid?" Ao Yi smiled in surprise, "Go and see!"

In fact, they also saved many sea people along the way, but most of them were wounded, seriously injured, or even dying. Because they were fighting mutant sharks, most of them were missing arms and legs, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

- This is the first time that a live, healthy and uninjured cub has been found!

After expressing his joy for the surviving cub, Rong Ping was saddened and guessed in a low voice: "But there are several mermaid remains around the reef cave. It is estimated that the family desperately saved the cub."

"Oh." Ao Yi let out a long sigh.

"Let's see, let's see!" Rong Ge yelled, quickly squeezed in, squatted at the entrance of an unusually narrow reef hole, looked inside intently, and was overjoyed: "Hey, there is really a little mermaid!" hold out.

But a weak and terrified cry immediately sounded from inside: "Don't, don't, don't... woo woo woo, don't want you..."

"Brother Rong, she seems to be very scared, and I cried when I approached her just now." The orc who discovered it first hurriedly reminded her.

"I'm here to save you, understand? Save you, don't be afraid." Rong Ge patted his chest upright and coaxed, "Come out, I'll take you back to the East Sea Dragon Palace, there must be mermaids inside!"

Ao Yi squatted down and looked inside: in the depths of the narrow and winding reef cave, a little mermaid curled up into a ball with its tail in its arms, trembling and crying very hard.

"To her, we are all strangers." Ao Yi didn't dare to hold her out. He turned his head and looked around. When he saw the dead mermaid, because Ji Mo was also a mermaid, Ao Yi felt particularly uncomfortable. He After observing for a while, I chose the two corpses that died above the reef cave, bent down and picked up a silk scarf embroidered with exquisite patterns, and an old bone knife, and said:

"Rong An, bury them on the spot as soon as possible, and don't let the cubs see them."

"Yes!"

Ao Yi returned to the entrance of the reef cave, handed in the bone knife first, and asked in a good voice, "Do you recognize this knife?"

The cub's cries slowly subsided, but there was no response for a long time.

"I don't recognize you? Then I'm leaving." Ao Yi made a gesture to retract his hand. The next moment, the bone knife was immediately hugged and pulled in, and the little mermaid cried, "Don't go! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.it. Father’s, not yours, woo woo woo~”

"Okay, okay, it's yours, it's yours." Ao Yi pulled the opponent out bit by bit, and at the same time shook the silk scarf, and asked: "Here, there is this one, do you recognize it?"

The little mermaid yelled aggrieved and nervously: "Hiccough cough woo woo woo woo, it belongs to mother, not yours."

"Well, that's right." Ao Yi had already pulled the little mermaid out, and said kindly and gently, "Don't be afraid, your parents asked us to send you home."

The little mermaid was only as long as an orc's arm, with long golden curly hair, a blue and green fish tail, a very beautiful little female, with eyes full of panic and fear, holding the bone knife and shark tightly.Fortunately, she was able to understand her words, and asked crying, "Where are my father and mother? I covered my ears and closed my eyes. I can't come out. I have to wait for them to find them. Why haven't they come yet?"

The orcs were so sympathetic that they couldn't speak, and subconsciously looked towards the open graveyard not far away.

"They... went back first." Ao Yi tried his best to conceal it, and coaxed: "We will send you home, find, find your clansmen, that is, find mermaids, understand? Find mermaids who know you."

"Oh, oh, well, I've waited too long." The little mermaid was pitiful, crying because of hunger and fear, and thanks to her being obedient and hiding, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to wait for the Sicilian Sea's help.

After some twists and turns, Ao Yi picked up the little mermaid and said:

"Your name is Xiaofeng'er? Well then, Xiaofeng'er, let's go to the East China Sea Dragon Palace!"

East China Sea Dragon Palace

"Niezi! Niezi!" The old dragon king was heartbroken, his beard and hair were white and messy, he was lying panting, he propped up his upper body and angrily pointed at his eldest son, Ao Han, and scolded:

"Ancestor, ancestor's foundation has been destroyed by you! Cough, cough, cough, what's going on outside? Casualties, casualties? Cough, cough, cough~" Old and angry, the old dragon king was so skinny bone.

"Father, calm down." Ao Han, the current Dragon Empress of the East China Sea, knelt down in front of the bed in aggrieved manner, and said bravely: "Outside, outside, I'll take care of it, you—"

"Enough!" The old Dragon King gasped again, his veins popping out, and he said tremblingly, "Now, you still refuse to destroy the medicine furnace? Do you want to watch Donghai be wiped out?"

The old dragon queen sat aside, looking at the eldest son who was in distress and frowning with distress, and persuaded: "The medicine furnace is Han'er's painstaking effort, and it is difficult to make medicine. Although there is something wrong with the secret medicine this time, no one can do it." I don’t want to. The priest is stepping up his efforts to improve, once he succeeds, Han’er will be number one in the Eastern Sea—”

"First what?" The old Dragon King looked at his wife in disappointment and pain, and angrily scolded, "The number one idiot in all ages? The number one prodigal son?"

"Your words - oops~" The old dragon queen couldn't hold back anymore, she just wanted to refute but was pushed away violently.

"Get lost! A loving mother is a loser." The old dragon waved his hand, Hei Yun was no longer by his side, it was inconvenient everywhere, but Yu Wei was still there.

Ao Han hurriedly supported his mother, frowned and said: "Father, isn't it because of Donghai that I ordered the development of the secret medicine? Because the dragon fruit is in Sicily, Donghai's status is getting more and more—"

"More and more?" The old dragon king was furious, and scolded: "Donghai was originally good, it's all because of your incompetence, ignorance and stupidity that you have reached this point today! What happened to Sicily? Ao Bai is your own brother, Yi'er is your own brother." Nephew, if it wasn't for their protection, Xiaofeng would have almost died in Sicily because of your stupidity! You are not as smart as a land orc? Didn't you know that the secret medicine came from you? Ignorance!"

"Yes! You are right!" Ao Han couldn't bear it any longer, his brows were cold and his eyes were cold, and he growled angrily:

"Ao Bai looks like you when you were young, smart, capable, filial and sensible, and Ao Yi is a precious golden grandson! What am I? Ha, incompetent, ignorant and stupid, the number one prodigal son of all time!"

The old Dragon King trembled with anger, and slowly fell on the bed.

"You think I don't know where Hei Yun is? Didn't I just get sent to Sicily by you!" Ao Han continued to yell, and the long-standing resentment was unwilling to explode, "You want to embarrass me, right? You go to ask Ao Bai for things that can be solved! My good father!"

"All right, all right, don't make noise." The old dragon tried to dissuade with a headache, and said naturally: "What's the problem? They should have come back to help, hmph, the whole of Sicily belongs to the East China Sea!"

Ao Han liked to hear these words, he calmed down a bit and snorted coldly.

The old dragon king took a long time to recover. As a citizen of the East China Sea, he urged again: "Han'er, the medicine furnace can't be kept, and it should be destroyed soon. If it is tempted by that thing, the animals will continue to mutate. No matter how many orcs there are, There are no more beasts—”

The sound of "Boom~" knocking on the door interrupted the conversation, and the Captain of the Dragon Palace Guard came in anxiously, shouting in panic:

"The main gate of the old Dragon Palace was breached by mutant sharks!"

"What?" The old Dragon King turned pale with shock, his eyes were black and his ears were buzzing, and he lost consciousness instantly.

Ao Han kicked and scolded: "Idiot! Why are you panicking? It's not that the gate of the Dragon Palace is broken! Hurry up and ask Long Wei to take a look, what's the use of telling me?"

Ao Yong couldn't believe it, and said coldly: "What? The Lanyu medicine furnace in the East China Sea has not been destroyed yet?"

"Yes." The spy spoke quickly, "The old dragon king of the East China Sea and the current dragon king have been arguing for days. It is said that it is Ao Han who insists on refusing to destroy the medicine stove, but his ability is far from ambitious, which is why such a catastrophe happened! Patriarch, What do you think we should do?"

Another old man said helplessly: "Although the priest has made an antidote to the bites of mutated animals, the source is in the East China Sea. If the Lanyu medicine stove is not destroyed for a day, mutated animals will continue to appear—how can we deal with it?"

"Patriarch, Ao Han is obviously selfish and cold-blooded, but Donghai has some strength, so I can only pity the many sea tribes who have died tragically."

"Patriarch, do you think we...should think of a way?"

The Dragon King of the East China Sea is reluctant to destroy the medicine stove, we are willing!

The days are made impossible by him!

Ao Yong looked at his nose, nose and heart, and pondered for a long time. He didn't look very much like Ao Xuan, and his appearance was rather weak. Because of exhausting himself day and night, his temples were already gray, there were deep wrinkles between his brows, and his lips were thin and tight.

After a long while, Ao Yong opened his mouth and said slowly:

"Yihai has been closed since the first four major families split up to guard the four seas. The time is untestable. There is an ancestor's precept in the Holy Land: In order to avoid disturbing the balance of the four seas and the order of the sea, future generations must not interfere with the affairs of the outer seas without authorization."

The clan elder argued: "If possible, we also want to close the door and live a quiet and comfortable life, but, but right now, Donghai is endangering the entire ocean with his own selfishness, oh no, endangering the lives of everyone on land and sea."

"That's right, Dong Hai is so wrong!"

"If we don't destroy the medicine stove, it will be too late. Now Donghai is full of innocent dead."

The respected patriarchs urged the patriarch.

Ao Yong remained silent for a long time, he was always cautious and meticulous.

The heated discussion and dispute continued until the colorful auspicious lights flashed and the sky was completely dark. Ao Xuan, who hadn't returned home for several days, came in exhausted and said in a low voice:

"Hi everyone, I'm back."

Ao Yong asked habitually: "Why did you come back so early? Have everything been settled? Are there any casualties? What about your sixth brother?"

"The matter was settled. There was no death, but there were minor injuries. Everyone ran on the snow mountain for several days. We were too tired. We went home to rest for a night. The sixth brother was swept by the ice bear on the arm, and he was at the priest's place."

Ao Yong immediately frowned: "Is the injury serious?"

"Not heavy, a piece of skin fell off."

"Well, rest and go, it's none of your business here."

"Yes." Ao Xuan made a clear report while standing, nodded after being allowed to leave, and strode away. He is a young man who has just started traveling and is not qualified to participate in the clan council.

Seeing his younger brother coming in with a serious face and a smile, and then leaving with a blank face after a serious response, Ao Yong suddenly felt even more headache, and the word "Chuan" was frowned between his brows, and he said angrily:

"It's getting more and more unruly."

In the past, I would at least mention a few things about my travels!

"Hahaha~" One of the clan elders smiled kindly, and joked, "It's probably because you are holding his lifestone. If you have a sweetheart, I can understand."

Ao Yong smiled wryly and said: "Who do you think that idiot likes? The prince of the Sicilian sea dragon clan! It is said that he is a dragon clan that has just been established, and the current dragon king is Ao Han's brother! My younger brother has always been not clever, so don't be foolish. Stone sent out in exchange for a lesson."

The eldest brother is like a father, and Ao Yong never dared to relax his discipline on the younger brother.

"Haha, the more the family opposes young people's affairs, the more they want to be together. Who hasn't been young?" Several clan elders were cheerful and didn't care.

"Isn't it? If you are in a hurry, maybe Xuan boy will not even want the life stone, or he will sneak away to Sicily."

"Boy Jing's life stone is said to have been sent out, and he gave it to one, one of mixed blood, tsk tsk tsk, it's fresh."

"Hey!!"

One of the clan elders' eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say: "The ancestors stipulated that we should not reveal the location of the holy place and not interfere with other peoples, but didn't we just say that the Sicilian sea prince was rushing to the East China Sea for rescue? In the name of assisting friends, 'helping' the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan destroy the Lanyu Medicine Stove, will it be justified soon?"

The ancestral precepts are important, but the rules are dead and the dragon is alive.

The rest only thought for a moment before nodding in agreement, praising that it was a good idea (good excuse) to have the best of both worlds.

Ao Yongneng has been firmly seated as the patriarch since he was young, and he must have been first-class in courage and strategy. Normally, he would think a little, discuss a few words in depth, and then follow the public opinion, but this time he was a little embarrassed.

why?

It's not for that ineffective younger brother!

Ao Yong thought to himself: If he adopts the opinion of the elders, he will definitely send my younger brother there. Wouldn't that mean that he and the prince will be fulfilled in a disguised form?

The royal family of the East China Sea has always looked above the top, so it's hard to say what the prince's temperament is...

At this time, the door of the conference hall was pushed open again, and it was still Ao Xuan—he was waiting outside, planning to ask his brother for the Life Stone, but when he was wandering back and forth with a lot of thoughts, he suddenly heard talking about Ao Yi inside!

Ao Xuan involuntarily leaned closer to listen carefully, and slowly began to laugh happily, especially looking forward to his brother saying: Well then, let Ao Xuan lead the team.

However, after waiting for a long time to no avail, Ao Xuan couldn't wait, pushed the door open and went in, saying:

"Patriarch, I think the suggestions of the elders are very appropriate. Please entrust this task to me. I swear to the Sea God that I will definitely complete it!"

hum~

Ao Yong leaned back, with his usual expressionless face, and lightly tapped on the table with his fingers, thinking that you talk too much, so you don't have a straight face anymore!Ao Yong reprimanded slowly and softly:

"There are no rules, I am discussing important matters with the clan elders, why do you interrupt?"

"..." Ao Xuan, who was radiating anticipation all over his body, was stunned for a moment, dimmed for a moment, but quickly cheered up and said: "I'm sorry, I was reckless. However, the source of the mutation is in the East China Sea, and now it has seriously affected Yihai. , not to mention other sea areas, it is not an exaggeration to say that the world is in chaos, such a serious disaster, I think every orc should do their best to prevent it, patriarch, do you think so?"

good.After going out for a trip, he was able to talk so much in one breath... Could it be that the Sicilian Sea Prince is a chatterbox?

While slandering, Ao Yong had no choice but to agree: "Of course it should be stopped."

The elders of the clan all smiled cordially at the same time, and they just listened without speaking, which was very wise.

"That's good!" Ao Xuan had a smile on his face, and tried his best to fight: "Just now... I heard that Ao Yi led the Sicilian Sea Dragon Guard to rescue the East China Sea. It's not easy for us to expose it, but we can follow what the elders said , Going out in the name of assisting the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan, everyone can rest assured, Ao Yi is not a domineering and arrogant royal family, he is trustworthy and can cooperate, this point can also be proved by Brother Six!"

The clan elders nodded repeatedly, and urged: "Hurry up and call Jing boy over, and discuss it carefully."

That's basically what they all agree on.

Although Ao Yong is the head of the clan, Yihai is not the head of the clan. In order to solve the thorny problem of mutant animals as soon as possible, he can only agree.

"Then it's settled like this. Ao Xuan is in charge, Ao Jing is assisting, and bring more people to meet with the Sicilian Sea Dragon Clan." At the end, Ao Yong solemnly warned:

"Remember! All those who go out are not allowed to reveal any secrets related to Yihai, not even half a sentence, otherwise they will not come back when they go out."

Ao Xuan and the others hurriedly said respectfully: "Yes."

In the end, everyone dispersed, and there were only two brothers left in the meeting hall. Ao Xuan silently recited the reason for taking back the life stone, but just as he was about to speak, his elder brother said angrily:

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you set off as a team? Be careful if I change my mind and ask someone else to go!"

Those who know the current affairs are Junjie...

"Okay, okay, brother, don't get excited, I'll go get ready now." Ao Xuan quickly turned and left, forbearing in every possible way, thinking that it's important to go to support his partner first, and then find a way to get the life stone back later.In these extraordinary times, orcs must obey the command of the patriarch, and freedom is always relatively limited.

East China Sea

When he saw the familiar islands and reefs of Lanyu from a distance, the mermaid cub Xiao Fenger was elated, and finally completely convinced that he was indeed on his way home, clapping his hands and cheering:

"Yeah, come home, come home, come home!"

She leaned on Rongge's shoulder and looked around, but she was the only one smiling.

"Stop!" Ao Yi ordered to stop advancing, puzzled: "It's strange, why are all the corals in Lanyu dead?"

The living corals are colorful, and the dead ones are gray and lifeless.

"Could it be that animals like to eat coral after they mutate?" Rong Ge raised his eyebrows, he didn't even believe this guess.

They stopped and watched, separated by a long distance.

Suddenly, more than a dozen blue dragons emerged from the intricate islands and reefs, followed by a group of vicious mutant sharks. The leading blue dragon was about to cry with joy when he saw Ao Yi, and called for help:

"Prince Yi, you are finally here! Hurry up, help me, follow me to the Old Dragon Palace!"
