Chapter 416 The Sea Princess's Desire
Romantina pointed at the undercurrent channel, marveling at its magnificence, and couldn't help asking, "Is this a method created by the mermaids?"
“It’s a miracle of nature.”
Ariel shook her head. "How can a mermaid control the power of the sea? She is just using this undercurrent channel to travel long distances. If she were to swim at her own speed... well, at the same level, a mermaid's swimming speed in the sea is only slightly faster than that of soft-bodied marine creatures, not as fast as other soul beasts."
Zhou Qing believed this 100%.
After all, from the perspective of body structure, mermaids, a species with a human upper body and a fish lower body, are actually not very suitable for swimming in water.
Speaking of using soul power...
All I can say is that mermaids need to use their soul power to swim as fast as other marine fish and soul beasts. It seems that there is nothing worth bragging about, right?
The mermaid, who has half a human body, probably only wants to cultivate faster than other sea soul beasts.
of course.
Ariel cannot be lumped together with normal mermaids. She is an elf born from the sea. She is of the same race as the Snow Emperor who was born from the ice-attributed energy of heaven and earth in the Far North. It's just that her original appearance looks similar to that of a mermaid, a half-human, half-sea soul beast.
Half a day passed quietly.
The rest of the crew on the Mermaid were still asleep. Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina all sensed that the ship's speed had slowed down.
And the huge bubble was also carried away by the mermaids from the undercurrent channel to the real deep sea area.
Unlike other sea areas which are pitch black, this sea area is full of various fluorescent lights. Countless strange seaweeds are swaying freely in the ocean, and luminous plankton shuttles among them, like stars floating in the deep sea.
When the Mermaid stopped, Zhou Qing and others squinted their eyes and noticed through the bubbles that the buildings outside the ship were built on the rocks on the seabed. Some of them were piled with unknown minerals, some were polished with shells, and some were decorated with the shells of some crustaceans.
Zhou Qing even saw a mermaid crawling out from under a fan-shaped shell about five meters wide. There was a hole under the shell, and her real residence should be underneath.
All in all, the architectural style of mermaids is very similar to that of humans, but with a stronger "seafood" style.
At this time, the mermaids passed through the bubbles and approached the unconscious people on the boat.
Tang San was a little nervous. He calmly pressed Zhou Qing's arm with his fingers, asking if he wanted to take action.
【Just wait and see! 】
Zhou Qing responded.
After all, this is the bottom of the sea. If they act recklessly, these mermaids will destroy the bubbles outside the hull, and won’t they all be drowned?
Ariel's strength is only at the Soul King level, and it is impossible for her to lead them out of the encirclement in an instant. It would be better to see what these mermaids want to do first.
"Bubbles these humans in and take them to the cells."
One of the mermaids spoke in human language.
In other words, the mermaids communicate with each other using the common language of Douluo Continent.
Afterwards, everyone on the Mermaid, including Ariel, was wrapped in bubbles and taken to a natural cave. Then dark black iron rods were inserted into the entrance to seal it.
Zhou Qing opened his eyes and looked at the bubbles close to his skin. He found that his breathing was smooth and was surprised: "This bubble is really strange. It allows people to breathe freely. Moreover, this is the deep sea, surrounded by water, but I don't feel too much pressure. My body is also very light, as if I can swim."
He realized that mermaids were able to swim freely in the deep sea because their bodies could instinctively create bubbles like this. Otherwise -
Most of the marine creatures swimming in this deep sea area are relatively flat. Isn't it strange that mermaids look so "round"?
After all, the Douluo Continent is not a fantasy continent that can conquer everything, but a planetary world. Even if there are soul masters, soul beasts and other beings that possess extraordinary powers, they still need to follow various physical laws based on matter.
Therefore, the fundamental way to ensure that mermaids can maintain normal human aesthetic appearance in the deep sea may be that they can create bubbles to cover their entire body, allowing them to breathe freely without having to spend extra energy to fight the pressure of the deep sea.
But Ariel was silent at this time.
She now suspected that her whereabouts might not have been discovered by the Sea Princess, but some other reason led to their capture.
After all, she was raised by Neptune, and the Sea Princess was nominally her sister. If they came for her, those mermaids would certainly interrogate them carefully, and it would be impossible for them to be locked up in the same cell at once.
However, Zhou Qing and others did not pay attention to her expression at this time, they were only concerned with exploring the bubbles on her body.
"Mother, all the human ships near Douluo Continent and Hanhai City have been captured."
In the Sea King Palace, a mermaid wearing a silver crown reported to a mermaid wearing a golden crown, "Mother, why are you doing this? Our clan lives in seclusion under the icy sea near the Far North. We don't have much interaction with humans, especially with humans in the warm areas of the continent. We don't have any conflicts. If we rashly capture them, it might attract the attention of human spirit masters."
"It doesn't matter. The sea is ruled by the Sea God. We are the people of the Sea God and are protected by the power of the Sea God."
This mermaid wearing a golden crown is the Sea Princess.
Princess Hai smiled gently, not caring at all. "Even if a human soul master has reached the ninety-ninth level of the peerless realm, if he dares to come under this icy sea, his strength will be suppressed to only 70%. He is no match for me."
"The reason why I went to the warm sea to capture humans is because I sensed the fluctuations of the spiritual beads formed after the spiritual world of the group of magic cube octopuses who abandoned the faith of the sea god collapsed."
The Sea Princess has been cultivating for more than 600,000 years and she herself is of spiritual attribute. She is extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of soul beasts of the same spiritual attribute, especially with the blessing of her golden bloodline and the protection of the entire ocean. She is also sensitive to the space built by the Magic Cube Octopus Clan to store spiritual beads.
However, since she herself is not a Rubik's Cube Octopus, and this golden bloodline is not something she is born with but rather a "God-given" gift, she is unable to determine her true spatial coordinates and position.
But just before that, she sensed that someone had opened the space where the magic cube octopus had stored its spiritual beads for more than 100,000 years.
In the rocky sea area -
Among the Rubik's Cube Octopus clan, no one has broken through ten thousand years in the past twenty thousand years. It can't be them.
Then it must be that the human soul master whose martial soul is the Rubik's Cube Octopus has reached the Soul King stage, and his soul power level is equivalent to that of a ten-thousand-year-level Rubik's Cube Octopus, which caused the vibration in that space.
The Sea Princess has always wanted to obtain the legacy left by the Rubik's Cube Octopus who has cultivated for 100,000 years or more!
For the mermaids, a spiritual rosary can save the spiritual power that can be accumulated through nearly 100,000 years of hard practice!
But the ten thousand year level Rubik's Cube Octopus has disappeared, so if there is a human soul master whose martial soul is the Rubik's Cube Octopus and has reached the Soul King level, he can also be replaced.
However, in the past 20,000 years, humans whose martial souls are magic cube octopuses are extremely rare, and those who can become soul masters are even rarer, let alone soul kings...
Now I happen to meet one, and it resonates with that space, how can I let it go?
We must be good friends!
For this reason, she would rather catch ten thousand people by mistake than let one go!
