Chapter 633 Caught
Ordinary cultivators might not be able to find this place, and even if they did, they might not be able to find their secluded dwelling.
They had a rare opportunity to meet, and they were genuinely eager to see what it was all about.
However, it is well known that the merfolk are xenophobic, and if not handled properly, it can easily lead to misunderstandings and then become extremely dangerous.
So, after discussing it for a while, they decided to go and test the waters.
If the merfolk react strongly, they will not disturb them and will immediately turn around and leave.
If they are not so intense and there is room for de-escalation, they can communicate with each other.
Therefore, everyone unanimously decided to go and see the mermaid tribe.
Only after he left did everyone realize how formidable Zhong Ran was.
They traveled by water for five days to find a different scale in a patch of aquatic plants, at the spot she sensed.
"These scales are blue and much larger than fish scales. Could they be mermaid scales?"
Ji Qingyun picked up the scales and examined them closely, feeling that they were not ordinary fish scales.
Everyone looked at Zhong Ran; only she knew whether this was truly the secluded dwelling place of the merfolk.
After all, she was the one leading the way.
Zhong Ran nodded gently: "It's around here."
Everyone gasped in surprise, then became excited again.
If true, they may have already entered a dangerous area.
Zhong Ran sensed for a moment, then turned to look in the other direction.
Influenced by her, everyone else turned to look as well.
But after watching for a while, they didn't find anything. Just as they were about to ask her what was going on, they saw a group of mermaids swimming over.
Zhong Ran's sensory abilities in the water were surprisingly powerful.
She was far more powerful than Huang Qiuyin, who possessed an exceptional water-elemental root; she could sense it from such a distance.
However, they were affected while in the water, especially the cultivators with fire spirit roots.
"Get out of here, or die."
The mermaid in front is a very handsome young man.
Yes, he was a young gentleman, and although he was a man, he was even more handsome than a woman.
It was said to be a woman's voice, but it was also a man's voice, making it somewhat androgynous.
Everyone became alert and gathered around Zhong Ran, watching them cautiously.
Mu Jinning clasped her hands in a fist and said in a gentle tone, "Friends, we mean no harm..."
"Get lost!" The merman youth didn't even wait for him to finish speaking before pushing his hands forward, sending a wave of water crashing towards him.
Everyone instantly felt immense pressure; it wasn't the weight of a wave, but the pressure of an entire mountain.
Lou Ying stepped forward, forming a hand seal, attempting to block the wave.
However, in the water, mermaids can unleash their full power beyond what is possible, while cultivators' strength is suppressed to only two-thirds or half of its original power.
In other words, a mermaid at the Nascent Soul stage can fight a cultivator at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, even if the cultivator is of a higher level.
That young mermaid must be a mermaid at the Nascent Soul stage; the pressure surged forth with a single push from his hands.
However, Lou Ying was still a Nascent Soul cultivator, and easily redirected the attack.
Several mermaids stepped forward simultaneously, standing side by side with the mermaid youth, and launched a coordinated attack, creating a massive, overwhelming wave that surged towards the group.
Xiao Beijing and Huang Qiuyin stepped forward at the same time and pushed to the side with both hands, with Lou Ying, Fang Lao and others assisting.
boom!
The two attacks collided with a deafening roar, causing everyone's eardrums to ache, and the young man was even sent flying backward.
Song Xiaoyan and An Ling, among others, coughed up a mouthful of blood and nearly fainted.
Fortunately, neither of them lacked pills, so they immediately took out some and put them in their mouths.
I looked up, but couldn't see anything clearly.
The seawater became murky, and the air in their chests felt like it was about to be squeezed out. At this moment, the pearls on their bodies could no longer serve much purpose.
Seeing this, Zhong Ran took two steps forward, and with a gentle wave of her slender hand, a soft force transferred all the pressure away.
The murky seawater cleared up, and then everyone realized that they were surrounded by merfolk.
Moreover, they were no longer in the same place, but in an iron cage.
In just a short while, they were captured by the merfolk and locked in an iron cage.
But they didn't feel anything.
This is a great disgrace.
However, Ah Sheng was very experienced. He took two steps forward, grabbed the two iron pillars with both hands, and, regardless of their material, forcefully pried them apart.
He tore a large hole in the iron cage and strode out, heading towards the mermaid woman in front of him.
"You people are despicable!" He was very angry and walked very fast, making the seawater muddy from his footsteps.
The group quickly followed Ah Sheng out of the iron cage, warily looking at the merfolk around them.
"Asheng, come back." Zhong Ran quickly stopped him, afraid that he would go too far and further anger the merfolk.
"Sister." Hearing her call, Ah Sheng finally stopped and turned back to look at her with a wronged expression: "They locked us up because they are bad people."
Zhong Ran shook her head: "No, they are not bad people. They just thought we were bad people, so they locked us up. Listen to me, come back first."
Ah Sheng obediently turned back and stood beside her, but still swung his big fist at the merman.
“We are not bad people, but if you bully us again, I will hit you.”
"I can hit really hard."
He stared at the mermaid woman in front of him and added, "Don't mess with me, really."
Zhong Ran followed his gaze and saw that the mermaid woman seemed to be a minor leader of the mermaid tribe; at least, she was surrounded by people in the middle.
She was extremely beautiful, so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly.
She has purple eyes, purple scales that shimmer with a purple sheen, long purple hair, and a purple tail.
However, the merfolk are indeed not ordinary beings; they are universally acknowledged as the most beautiful race.
"Please do not worry, we have no ill intentions. On the contrary, we can exchange ideas and learn from each other."
Zhong Ran could not hide her nervousness, but she tried her best to keep her voice gentle.
"If you are not welcome, we can leave immediately and guarantee that we will not reveal your secluded place or cause you any harm."
The purple mermaid woman's eyes were filled with indifference, and she spoke in broken human language.
"Humans are the most cunning. We do not welcome humans. Any human who comes here will only become our slave."
Zhong Ran remained gentle: "There are indeed many ill-intentioned people among humanity, but you can't generalize and condemn all people. There are also many good people among humanity."
The mermaid woman remained silent, simply watching her indifferently.
Zhong Ran looked around and chuckled, "Several of us are array masters. We can help you set up a concealment array in this secluded place, so that no human cultivators will be able to easily disturb you in the future."
