Chapter 1702 The tragic underwater grotto
Asking Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Ningning to wait for him at the beach, Li Xuehao found a deserted place and dived into the sea. The reason why he didn't take them with him was because it was more convenient and faster for him to move alone. After all, the time he had to go out was limited and he had to go back later. It would be slower to take two "oil bottles" with him, even if they Not even a mermaid.
Li Xuehao is already familiar with walking in the sea, having had such experiences several times before. With the trick of avoiding water, there is no need to worry about the sea water getting his clothes wet.
Of course, he wasn't searching aimlessly. He locked a breath from Aragaki Yuma's body, then fully developed his consciousness and moved in the seabed.
As long as the consciousness detects the same aura as Aragaki Yuma's or a similar aura, it should be a place where mermaids live. However, this method requires luck, because God knows where the mermaid colony is and how far away it is. If you look in the wrong direction, it is no different than finding a needle in a haystack.
The direction Li Xuehao chose was to the west, because the west is the middle of the vast sea, which is further away from the land and has a greater chance of encountering uninhabited islands.
Presumably, the settlement of the mermaid clan is definitely not very close to the human world, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago, so staying away from the land is the most correct choice.
He had been sneaking for hundreds of nautical miles. For him, it was only a matter of more than ten minutes before he finally noticed a vague aura similar to Aragaki Yuma's.
Li Xuehao's heart moved, and he immediately speeded up and dived towards the direction he sensed.
More than thirty seconds later, he arrived at the place where he sensed the breath.
This is indeed an island. It doesn't look big, with a radius of only one or two miles. The two sides of the island are polarized, with a calm beach on one side and cliffs with strong waves on the other.
Thinking of what Yuma Aragaki said about the mermaid settlement under the cliff, Li Xuehao came to this side of the cliff of the island without hesitation.
Under the cliff, there is a huge grotto, which is almost ten meters deep below the sea level. At this time, the sunlight was shining directly on the other side of the island, and with the obstruction of the cliffs, no sunlight penetrated at all, so the grotto under the sea looked very dark and gloomy.
Before Li Xuehao entered, he had already felt the cold atmosphere inside. However, this coldness was not because there were ghosts in it, but because many creatures had been slaughtered here. Some of them may have become ghosts, but because they were trapped in this grotto, Unable to get out, they all dissipated in the end.
The dissipated evil spirits gradually condensed together and turned into a cold breath, which is Yin energy.
This should be where the mermaids live.
Li Xuehao secretly sighed in his heart. Judging from what he sensed with his spiritual consciousness, there were no living creatures inside, not even fish, shrimps, crabs and other sea creatures, because the thick Yin Qi was not suitable for living creatures to survive at all. Presumably, there were no living creatures in the sea. It is also because of this that the creatures dare not approach this place.
Of course, this little bit of Yin Qi was nothing to him. He sneaked in from the entrance of the grotto. There was no obstruction in the dark and serene environment, and he could see clearly.
The grotto is about a hundred meters wide, and it has penetrated deep into the underground of the island. There are many artificial traces in it, which seem to have been carved out.
The chiseled marks are very rough, obviously not made by machines, so it is very likely that the mermaids who originally lived here opened them up as their habitat.
It's just that this habitat is now deserted, and there are many bones covering the bottom of the grotto. These white bones are very special. The upper body is a human skeleton, but the lower body is a fish bone. That’s right, it’s the mermaid’s!
Li Xuehao looked carefully. Most of the bones were incomplete. Missing arms and legs was the most normal among them. Some even had no heads, or a large section was missing from the middle of the waist and abdomen. Judging from the fractures in the bones, it seemed that It was bitten off by something jagged.
From this tragic scene, you can imagine how ferocious the sea monsters that attacked the mermaid settlement were. As Aragaki Yuma said, those sea monsters regarded mermaids as food.
I just don’t know if any mermaids escaped at that time. If so, where did the mermaids who escaped went? Was he killed and eaten by the sea monster that was chasing after him?
Li Xuehao thought, since Aragaki Yuma was able to "escape from the tiger's mouth" at that time, there should be other "fish that slipped through the net", but he didn't know where he went. After all, the sea is so big, and finding a place to avoid sea monsters is a big problem in life. For a mermaid in the sea, it shouldn't be difficult.
After observing the cave for a while, Li Xuehao found nothing. He used his spiritual consciousness to sense it again, but he also found nothing unusual.
It seems that Aragaki Yuma is going to be disappointed this time. The mermaid settlement has already become a ghost place, and her hope of finding her parents and family is doomed to fail.
After coming out of the grotto, Li Xuehao quickly returned to the beach. Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Ningning had been waiting for more than half an hour, and they were already anxious.
Li Xuehao did not remove the invisibility formation, but said directly beside them: "Miss Araguan, I have found it."
"Have you found it?" At first, he was startled by the sudden voice beside him, but after hearing the content, Aragaki Yuma's body trembled with excitement, "Manaka-kun, where are you? Take me there quickly!" At this time, he even ignored etiquette and looked around, wanting to go there immediately.
"I'll take you there now." Li Xuehao sighed again. She was so excited and happy now, and hoped that she wouldn't be too sad when she saw the ghostly scene later.
Using the flying sword, Li Xuehao arranged a stealth formation for Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Ningning, and took them to the land of mermaids from the air.
Since it has already been marked, you don’t have to worry about getting lost.
The speed in the sky was much faster than the speed in the sea. It only took less than half the time to reach the nameless island.
Li Xuehao lowered his flying sword and was about to take Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Ningning into the sea. Suddenly, his eyes focused on the direction of the underwater grotto. He clearly sensed that there was actually something in the grotto that was originally empty of living creatures. A living creature was active, swimming around in the grotto, seeming to be looking for something.
"Manaka-kun, I remembered, this is it!" When she arrived at the edge of the cliff, perhaps she saw a familiar scene, Aragaki Yuma also completely remembered it, and couldn't wait to dive into the water first. As soon as she reached the sea, she transformed into The two-and-a-half-meter-long mermaid quickly swam towards the grotto.
Mizuno Ningning was not slow and transformed into a mermaid to follow Aragaki Yuma.
Li Xuehao frowned slightly. He clearly sensed, or perhaps heard the movement outside, that the living creature who was looking for something in the grotto completely quieted down and hid in a corner.
