Going against the will of heaven, summoning strange beasts, abandoning her daughter, she is addicted

Ruan Yu's inquiring eyes fell on the shell-less turtle.

The Shellless Turtle wanted to quibble, but Ruan Yu's eyes were so sharp that it seemed as if he could see what it was thinking at a glance.

The turtle was stunned for a moment, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were stuck in his throat.

"I don't care if you kill others, but you are targeting me inappropriately..." Ruan Yu raised a cruel smile.

As the voice fell, twenty flying knives flew out at the same time and shot towards the shell-less turtle.

The turtle shifted its body reflexively to avoid the first flying knife.

It has no shell, so it naturally cannot withstand Ruan Yu's attack.

It's just that its movement speed was too slow, and it had already used all its strength to avoid the first attack.

The next nineteen flying knives all cut into its soft flesh.

"Ah!" The Shell-less Turtle howled in pain and looked at Ruan Yu as if he wanted to tear her apart and swallow her!

"Just wait for me!" The Shellless Turtle knew that he was no match for Ruan Yu. After saying these harsh words, he disappeared from the spot.

Ruan Yu was stunned.

She didn't know much about the turtles, let alone their escape route.

If you let the shell-less turtle run away like this, you will inevitably get into trouble in the future.

"Yes, benefactor, please save the little princess." Although the merman was not dead, he was seriously injured. He did not hate Ruan Yu for killing so many of his people, after all, they were the first to do it.

"Why?" Ruan Yu is not a kind-hearted Bodhisattva.

She would naturally help someone she likes, but this group of mermaids were helping the turtle to kill her just a second ago.

She was merciful by not killing him immediately.

"I... I don't have anything valuable to give you." The mermaid hesitated again and again, and seeing that Ruan Yu's eyebrows were full of impatience, he hurriedly said: "But the little princess must have something you want - the Heart of the Ocean!! The Shellless Turtle took the little princess away for the Heart of the Ocean!"

"Heart of the Ocean, what is it used for?" Ruan Yu became interested.

Just by hearing the name you know it's a good thing.

If she could obtain the Heart of the Ocean by saving the little princess of the mermaid tribe, then she was willing to go and give it a try.

"The Heart of the Ocean is the heart of the Sea God. With the Heart of the Ocean, you can command all the aquatic soul beasts in this sea area!" The mermaid was also forced into a desperate situation.

He knew that he would not live long, and now he only hoped that Ruan Yu could rescue the little princess.

The little princess has delicate skin and tender flesh, but she can't stand the torture of the bald turtle!

As for the Heart of the Ocean...if Ruan Yu has the ability, he will be recognized by the Heart of the Ocean.

This can't be considered cheating!

The mermaid comforted herself in this way in her heart.

"It's a good thing indeed. Okay, I promise you." After weighing the pros and cons, Ruan Yu decisively agreed: "But there is one thing I have to tell you in advance. I can't guarantee whether I can rescue your little princess. Because I don't know if I can beat that shellless turtle."

"Besides, there should be more than one Shellless Turtle in its territory, right? If I encounter danger, I will evacuate immediately."

Hearing this, the mermaid's already pale face looked even uglier: "But..."

"I know what you want to say." Ruan Yu sneered and interrupted the merman: "You just want me to risk my life to save your little princess, but why?"

The mermaid roared loudly: "Didn't I promise to give you the Heart of the Ocean?"

Because the sound was too loud, the wound was accidentally torn, and the mermaid broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Ruan Yu laughed even more sarcastically: "The Heart of the Ocean is just an empty promise you made casually. It's not certain whether it exists or not! Even if I rescue the little princess, will I be able to get the Heart of the Ocean for sure?"

The mermaid stared blankly at the little carrot-head in front of him. He couldn't understand how a human child could have such high intelligence!

Could he be some old monster that has lived for thousands of years and transformed into a monster?

“I didn’t lie to you. The little princess definitely has the Heart of the Ocean.” The mermaid lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes surging, making it difficult to see clearly.

He looked at his bleeding tail, his voice getting weaker and weaker: "Please, I beg you to save the little princess... She... She is our... mermaid tribe's... hope!"

The mermaid fell into the wet mud and finally closed her eyes in unwillingness and despair.

"Hey." Ruan Yu really couldn't stand it, "Why do you stop talking halfway? Get up."

"Did I want you to die?" Ruan Yu flew over and grabbed the mermaid's hair with one hand.

The mermaid was not dead yet, and his mouth opened in pain.

A pill flew into his mouth and dissolved as soon as it came into contact with water.

The rich aroma of medicine filled his entire mouth, and the mermaid was surprised to find that his wounds didn't hurt anymore! Moreover, his physical strength gradually recovered!

He looked at Ruan Yu in surprise, "You saved me?"

"How come you have such great medical skills? Are you also an alchemist?"

"Answer me first." Ruan Yuke didn't have the patience to answer the merman's series of questions. She said sternly, "Where is the lair of the shellless turtle? Also, what does your little princess look like? The last question is, what does the Heart of the Ocean look like? After I get it, how should I use the Heart of the Ocean?"

The mermaid rolled her eyes.

He had no other choice before, so he entrusted the secret of the Heart of the Ocean to Ruan Yu.

Now that he is full of energy and doesn't need to die, his selfish desires continue to grow.

He doesn't want to give the Heart of the Ocean to Ruan Yu!

"I'll take you to the lair of the bald turtle." The merman seemed to be worried that Ruan Yu would become suspicious, so he asked with a smile: "The roads in the sea are complicated. This should be your first time here. It's easy to get lost. With me leading the way, you can avoid many detours."

The mermaid spoke in a very low voice, with the word "guilty" almost written on her face.

Ruan Yu pretended not to see it: "Okay, lead the way."

She could roughly guess what the mermaid was planning.

It doesn’t matter. When she gets there, she can send the mermaid back to the west.

Along the way, the two had their own thoughts.

Just as the mermaid said, the roads in the sea were complicated. Ruan Yu didn't know how many times he had turned following the mermaid. They had also passed through many coral forests, and it took a long time before he arrived at a crystal palace.

Seeing the palace in front of him, the mermaid became furious: "This was originally the palace of our mermaid tribe! But now it has been occupied by the bald-haired turtle!"

"After seizing the palace and killing the Mermaid King, the Bald Turtle still felt that it was not enough! He actually ordered the massacre of my people!"

"In the previous sea area, our mermaids were the strongest, with a number of tens of millions! But now..." The mermaid said, tears of sadness flowing from the corners of her eyes: "Including the little princess, there are less than a hundred mermaids!"

From tens of millions to one hundred people!

Shell-less turtles are really cruel!

"Let's go." Ruan Yu was slightly moved. She had no feelings for the mermaids, but the Shellless Turtle was so violent and brutal that it almost killed all the mermaids in the sea! Such behavior would provoke the wrath of heaven and bring down divine punishment!

Every race in this world is vital to maintaining the balance of the food chain.

The reason why she agreed to the mermaid to rescue the little princess was, on the one hand, for the Heart of the Ocean, and on the other hand, to eliminate the hidden danger of the shell-less turtle.

"Wait." The merman stopped Ruan Yu and said, "You are a human. It is impossible for you to sneak into the palace with your current appearance."

"I'll take you somewhere."

After saying that, the mermaid took the lead and swam in one direction.

Ruan Yu followed.

Soon, they came to a dark hole, the size of a fist. The mermaid looked around, and after making sure no one was watching, he took out a glittering shell and threw it in.

A claw with a shell quickly stretched out, pressed on the shell, and dragged the shell in.

After a while, a red crab that looked like a cooked crab slowly crawled out of the hole.

"The transformation potion is gone." The first thing it saw was a mermaid.

I caught a glimpse of Ruan Yu out of the corner of my eye.

With a face full of shock, it turned around and stared at Ruan Yu for several times. After confirming that it was a human, it was so surprised that its jaw dropped: "This, this, this!"

"It's the human race? Really the human race?"

It excitedly crawled around Ruan Yu several times. No human had entered the sea area for a long time.

Like some rare thing.

"Since there are humans, then give me another shell and I will sell you the transformation potion."

The red crab kept looking at Ruan Yu while talking: "This is not your original appearance, right?"

"Why do you say that?" Ruan Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Even the emperor-level warriors couldn't tell anything unusual about her disguise pill, so how could she spot an ordinary crab at a glance?

It's so weird.

"It's a trade secret. If you're willing to pay ten shells, I can tell you reluctantly." The red crab stretched out one of its claws and shook it.

"Ten shells! Are you trying to rob me?" The mermaid paused as she took out the shells.

He didn't even want to pay for the transformation potion: "For so many years, your transformation potion has been sold at the price of one shell. What I just gave you is a high-quality shell! It's worth three bottles of transformation potion!"

"Trickster!"

"You must give me the transformation potion today!"

When the red crab heard this, his face fell: "Haha!"

It happily went back into the hole.

The mermaid gnashed her teeth and said, "...You are so cruel!"

If it wasn't for the emergency and the need to get the transformation potion, why would he be so humble to please a crab! The mermaids are the most prestigious race in the sea!

"The remaining shells are for you." The mermaid reluctantly placed the shells at the entrance of the cave.

"Two shells was the price just now. Now I want twenty shells." The red crab raised the price.

It was only because of Ruan Yu that it was willing to sell the last bottle of transformation potion.

Who knew this mermaid would be so ungrateful.

snort!

It won’t do this business anymore!

"You!" The mermaid was furious and scratched his ears and cheeks!

"Okay! Twenty shells is twenty shells!" He had heard that the crab selling the transformation potion had a changeable personality.

Now that he saw it, it was more than just uncertain! He didn't dare to bargain, otherwise the price the red crab would bid next time would be more than just twenty shells!

The red crab smiled and took the eighteen shells that the mermaid handed over to him.

I made a ton of money today!

"Just wait, little human." The red crab said to Ruan Yu.

After saying that, he went into the cave.

When it came out again, it had a string on its pliers, and at the end of the string was a glass bottle as thick as a finger. The potion in the bottle was dark and turbid, and it was disgusting to look at.

"This is the transformation potion." The merman hurriedly removed the string from the potion and handed it to Ruan Yu.

When the bottle was opened, a pungent smell hit me in the face.

Ruan Yu's expression darkened and he closed the lid again.

Whoever wants to drink this disgusting stuff can drink it, but she won’t drink it.

"How can you enter the palace if you don't drink!" The mermaid chased after her, trying to persuade her earnestly.

"Don't worry, as long as I want, the Shellless Turtle can't detect my presence." Ruan Yu took off the feather gloves on his right hand.

The gloves immediately turned into a cloak and covered Ruan Yu's body.

In an instant, Ruan Yu's figure became transparent and her breath disappeared without a trace.

If the mermaid had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that there was a living person standing in front of him!

If such means have already been available, why not show them off!

He wasted twenty shells!

These twenty shells were earned by him after working like a slave in the palace for ten years!

The mermaid became angrier the more she thought about it, and she vented her anger.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Yu just glanced at him calmly and said, "The transformation potion is not wasted, you can drink it too."

Mermaid: “…”

That seems to be the case.

If he wanted to enter the palace, he really needed to change into another form.

only……

Looking at the sticky black liquid in the bottle, the mermaid couldn't help but dry heave.

"Drink it." A hint of gloating appeared in Ruan Yu's eyes.

“……” The mermaid closed her eyes, picked up the potion and poured it into her throat.

It takes a long time for the medicine to take effect after drinking it.

The first thing to change was the merman's cheeks. He still had fish gills, which had not completely faded away. Only mermen of higher bloodline had human appearance.

Ordinary mermaids like him would retain some of their original characteristics.

For example, the gills, the scales on the waist and abdomen...

The mermaid soon turned into a pot-bellied toad, and strangely enough, he had a human face.

This look is getting more and more disgusting the more I look at it.

The merman noticed the disdain in Ruan Yu's eyes and was very angry: "You humans don't know what it means to have a human face!"

Ruan Yu muttered: "What else can it mean? Ugly!"

A toad with a human face, it's so ugly!

The mermaid exhaled through her nostrils: "That's not the case!"

"The closer one's appearance is to humans, the higher his bloodline is!" He raised his chin, very proudly: "People like me are considered nobles among the aquatic tribe."

"Besides, there's nothing on my face, I'm sure I'll be able to grow a human body someday!"

At this point, a trace of desolation flashed across the eyes of the mermaid: "It's a pity that this is the result of the transformation potion."

It would be great if it were true.

Ruan Yu's mouth twitched, and she really didn't know what to say.

She shook the cloak on her shoulders, and it immediately grew larger, covering the mermaid who had transformed into a toad.

The mermaid's expression changed from shock to fury: "You!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier! This thing can cover two people!"

If he had known this earlier, he wouldn't have to buy the transformation potion, and he wouldn't have to endure the nausea and drink the excrement of the dead crab!
