Seeing Yuma Aragaki and Ning Ning Mizuno enter the grotto, Li Xuehao quickly followed behind them. Although he was not a mermaid, he was faster than the two of them and quickly caught up with them and kept pace with them.

In the grotto, the dark and dark environment did not hinder Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Nene. They are mermaids. Maybe on land, their eyes are like ordinary people, they need light to see things clearly, but in the sea, their eyes emit a faint blue light, which allows them to see even in the dark. Clear everything around you.

In the grotto, the cold environment made the two of them tremble slightly, but they did not flinch at all, especially for Aragaki Yuma, this was her former home.

But now this home has long been deserted. Apart from the cold sea water, there are bones scattered everywhere under the grotto.

Aragaki Yuma and Mizuno Nene discovered it immediately. Their bodies were shocked and then they became sad. They knew what those bones represented.

Aragaki Yuma dived under, as if she wanted to see clearly those miserable bones, maybe her parents were among them.

Unfortunately, the scattered white bones were almost the same, with only differences in size and thickness, but this was obviously not enough for her to identify whether her parents were among them.

Looking at the white bones, the sad atmosphere centered on Aragaki Yuma and slowly spread. She did not cry, but blue tears welled up from her eyes, like crystal clear pearls in the sea water.

Li Xuehao was not far behind her and caught one of them casually. Legend has it that in fairy tales, mermaid tears have magical effects and are even related to immortality. He felt it and found that the tears did contain something special. He couldn't help but put the tears into the storage ring, but the remaining tears floated outside the grotto with the flow of sea water.

"Yuma." Mizuno Ningning swam to Aragaki Yuma's side and hugged her gently. Although she was not as sad as Aragaki Yuma, she also felt the same, because these dead people were once her same race.

"Ning Ning..." Yuma Aragaki huddled in her arms and wanted to cry, but she couldn't cry at all. Judging from the desolation she saw at the scene, no one had been here for a long time, and the bones scattered everywhere told her cruelly that all of her tribe and parents might have died.

Li Xuehao also came to Aragaki Yuma's side. Compared with her and Mizuno Ningning, his height of over 1.8 meters looked much smaller in front of them. He patted Aragaki Yuma's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Miss Aragaki , besides us, there is an uninvited guest here."

"...What?" Aragaki Yuma didn't react at first. After realizing what he said, he looked around quickly in shock.

Mizuno Ningning also turned her head and looked around. The space of a hundred meters above the grotto was almost invisible under the gaze of the two mermaids, but except for them, there was no one else in the entire space.

"Over there." Li Xuehao pointed in a certain direction. There was a corner of the grotto. There was a sunken pit in the corner. Although it was not deep, it could still be used to hide a living creature without being discovered. Arrived.

"What is it?" Aragaki Yuma suppressed the grief in her heart and looked far away, but still couldn't see anything.

"Go over and have a look." Mizuno Ningning said and swam over there first.

Li Xuehao quickly stepped forward and stopped her behind him: "No, it's fine here." You know, the hidden living creature didn't have good intentions. Although he wouldn't hurt either of them with his presence, there was no need to go over and shock the other person.

Li Xuehao casually picked up a longan-sized stone from the bottom of the grotto, flicked it, and shot it towards the sunken pit.

"Pfft!" He didn't use much force, and he didn't expect to kill the other party at once, but the other party still felt severe pain and suddenly got out of the sunken hole.

It was a strange creature, more than three and a half meters long, covered in bright red fish scales, with a fish head and fins, but its body was like a snake, and even its tail was a snake's tail, and There is a pair of human-like arms on the neck below the fish's head and under the ribs. They are gray-black in color, unusually thick, and have tangled muscles. They are completely equivalent to two or three arms of an adult man.

The pointed fish mouth is covered with sharp underhook-shaped serrations, which looks extremely ferocious and cruel.

"It was them, this kind of thing... that killed my parents and people!" Aragaki Yuma immediately recognized what this strange creature was, with fear and resentful killing intent in his eyes.

Mizuno Ningning was also startled and couldn't help but retreat to Aragaki Yuma's side.

In fact, there was no need for Yuma Aragaki to say it. Li Xuehao also recognized the identity of the strange creature in front of him. It was exactly the same as the sea monsters that Yuma Aragaki had drawn to him that attacked the mermaid settlement. It was like it had stepped out of a painting. Similar.

"Hiss~~hiss~~" The sea monster swallowed its tongue, stared with scarlet eyes, and stared cruelly and ferociously at the three people in front of it. Its tongue was like a snake's letter, but it was not in the shape of a thin strip, but It is very thick and flat, and seems to be covered with barbs, making it look very penetrating.

It was obviously intelligent and did not rush forward immediately. Perhaps it was observing the weaknesses of several people. And judging from the fact that it hid when it heard the noise outside, it is at least not low in intelligence, because its purpose of hiding is probably to launch a surprise attack.

Li Xuehao felt the breath of the sea monster carefully. He originally suspected that these sea monsters were probably specially trained by someone. If it was like what he guessed, then there would definitely be that person's mark or mark on them. Something else.

Sure enough, as his consciousness shrouded him, he noticed a trace of spiritual energy from the sea monster. Although it was very faint, if he didn't deliberately perceive it, he might not be able to detect it at all, but it was indeed spiritual energy. wrong.

This seemed to confirm his suspicion that the sea monster that attacked the mermaid settlement was trained by a monk who was comparable to him.

Thinking of this, he became vigilant, and he also guessed why a sea monster came here to check shortly after he left. Perhaps it was because the monk behind the scenes might have used some method to sense that someone had been to this grotto, and then immediately I sent someone to inspect it.
