Chapter 2162: The Mermaid Race’s Secret



Chapter 2162: The Mermaid Race’s Secret

“Brother king, I was wrong! A great man like yourself shouldn’t bother yourself with a petty person like me. From today on, I’ll serve you with all my heart no matter what brother king asks of me!” Ao Yong struggled to avoid his opponent’s attacks while continuing to beg Zu An for mercy.

“Many people wish this world had medicine for regret, but unfortunately, it doesn’t exist.” Zu An remained unmoved.

Shang Liuyu sighed inwardly. She wasn’t surprised by Zu An’s decision. She knew fully well that this was something Ao Yong was only saying because he had no way out. If he was given a moment to catch his breath, he would sell Zu An out without a moment of hesitation. Still, she really couldn't bear to watch these Ocean race people be slaughtered mercilessly by the alien monsters and Hell creatures.

When he saw that Zu An had no intention of interfering, Ao Yong panicked. “Do you think they’ll let you go just because you’re staying out of the fight? Once I die, you’re next!" He paused for a moment before continuing, “...Wait a second, you’re all in this together? Damn it all! You already colluded with these monsters a long time ago!”

He was shocked and furious as he continuously cursed Zu An.

You have successfully trolled Ao Yong for +888 +888 +888...

Zu An remained completely calm as he watched the Rage points come in continuously. A pig teammate like this wasn’t worth saving. Not only had he not been any help, he'd only made these monsters band together.

Ao Yong once again screamed bitterly, because his earlier moment of carelessness enabled the Bloodthirst Crocodile to pull off an ambush, biting down on his other arm.

The Bloodthirst Crocodile roared with laughter. “He’s an earth immortal and even of the Dragon race. The taste really is incredible!”

His teeth continued to grind down the flesh and bones, and shortly after, the hand was completely devoured.

Ao Yong’s mind completely broke down. He used his life-saving treasures to run away. Even with his cultivation, he wasn’t a match for these guys even one on one, let alone one against four!

“You want to run?” The Shadowhorror Devil sneered. Suddenly, a sphere of darkness surrounded him and completely sealed off the surrounding space.

Ao Yong’s expression was full of fear. He had never expected this enemy to be able to stop his life-saving treasure!

Then, the Firedevil Sea Beast, Ka Qier and Bloodthirst Crocodile rushed forward. Ao Yong was ripped to shreds almost instantly. His subordinates and even the Ocean race elders who had sided with him were also completely wiped out by the alien monsters and Hell creatures. The entire hall was dyed blood red, and the air was filled with a nauseating bloody scent.

Shang Liuyu couldn't help but give the Dragon Deity statue a look.

If the Dragon Deity was here, I wonder what he would think.

Ka Qier licked the flesh around his teeth and said to Zu An with a laugh, “Let’s go. We’ll do what we need to now.”

Zu An nodded. “Alright.” He grabbed Shang Liuyu’s hand as he went further in, as if he was seizing her.

Shang Liuyu was really nervous right now. She didn’t know how Zu An was going to defeat these terrifying monsters. But the situation had already developed like this, so she could only follow him down this path to its end.

Ka Qier’s group had been worried that Shang Liuyu would become suspicious from this scene. When they saw what happened, they completely relaxed and let go of that thought.

...

Ka Qier quickly led their group around the giant Dragon Deity statue and approach the wall behind it.

Zu An noticed that this wall actually had a mermaid engraved on it. The strokes were incredibly fine. Even though it was just a sculpted relief, he could still sense her enchanting beauty.

When she saw the sculpture, Shang Liuyu was a bit stunned, because a similar sculpture existed in the Mermaid race's territory. It was rumored to be a sculpture of the first Mermaid Ancestor. Of course, there were those who had claimed that she wasn’t the founding ancestor, and rather a mermaid queen who established outstanding contributions to the Mermaid race, and even the entirety of the Ocean races.

Still, regardless of which saying it was, this individual had enjoyed the respect and offerings of generation after generation of the Mermaid race, and was worshiped from the cradle to the grave. Why was her statue also in the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons?

Zu An stayed at the wall. He could sense a formation that was even more profound than the one on the entrance to the tomb. No, he didn’t even know if he could call it a formation. There were only a few dozen complicated runes, and they were all runes he had never seen the strokes and shapes of before. He didn’t dare to look down on them, because he could sense a divine and sacred power emanating from them. Could they be the legendary runes of deities?

Even though he couldn't understand the fundamental principles behind these runes with his current skill, he could clearly deduce that they contained tremendous power. If anyone dared to try and break through using brute force, they would definitely incur a devastating retaliation. No wonder Ka Qier and the other monsters were so cautious.

Ka Qier gave Shang Liuyu a look, then said secretly to Zu An, “This wall is something only the Mermaid race’s queen can open. It’s time to put Shang Liuyu to work.”

Both of Shang Liuyu’s sisters had already become the Dragon King’s queen before. But whether it was in terms of cultivation aptitude, intelligence, beauty, or outstanding bearing, people had always believed that there was no better candidate suited to become the Mermaid Queen than Shang Liuyu.

Zu An was a bit stunned. He asked, “What does she need to do?” He couldn't help but feel worried. If there was danger involved, he absolutely couldn't let Shang Liuyu take the risk.

“She needs to sing a song. As for what song, she should know,” Ka Qier replied.

Zu An frowned.

A song?

This was something he had never expected. Even something as simple as a song could open this wall filled with divine runes?

This isn’t Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves!

Wait, why is Ka Qier so familiar with these things?

Not only did Ka Qier know about the mysterious wall behind the Dragon Deity statue, he even knew how to open it.

Zu An secretly told Shang Liuyu about what had been said. Shang Liuyu was stunned, and she said with an astonished expression “Our Mermaid race has indeed always had a song passed down throughout history, and only those who were to become the Mermaid Queen were allowed to learn it. I never expected it could be used here.”

Judging from her expression, it was obvious that she had learned the song. She looked hesitantly at Zu An. “Are we really going to open it up for them?”

No one knew what lay inside. A single mistake, and the monsters and Hell creatures would end up getting what they wanted. If that happened, the consequences would be catastrophic.

“Please.” Zu An remained calm.

Perhaps influenced by his calmness, Shang Liuyu also became calmer. She walked up to the wall and began to sing. Her voice was really beautiful to listen to, but what was surprising was that the lyrics of the song only consisted of the ‘ah’ sound. However, every single word’s pronunciation and intonation was entirely different. There were many syllables that humans and fiends couldn't produce. That was the result of the structure of the Mermaids' vocal cords and the talent of the Mermaid lineage. No matter how great the cultivation of humans became, they still couldn't reproduce such sounds.

The lyrics were clearly monotonous, and yet when Shang Liuyu sang the song, it became full of colors and emotion. It was pure and sacred, leaving even the monsters and Ka Qier fascinated.

The song of the Mermaid Queen was outstanding, as expected!

They secretly praised Zu An. They had actually been a bit worried that Shang Liuyu wouldn’t cooperate after seeing what happened just now, out of doubt toward their identities. And yet with just a few words from Zu An, she had obediently complied.

It seems he really does have a certain degree of influence over women.

Ka Qier, the Bloodthirst Crocodile, and the Shadowhorror Devil were one thing, since they weren’t too interested in women, but the Firedevil Sea Beast was now tempted. In the future, he had to consult Zu An on how he had completely won over these sisters in such a short amount of time.

As Shang Liuyu’s song continued, the wall began to shine with specks of blue light. Gradually, the blue lights increased in number before converging into a sea. The mermaid statue on the wall seemed to come alive. It was as if a real mermaid was singing in the ocean.

Everyone present clicked their tongues in amazement. They wondered just who had sculpted these things in the past, because their skill was truly remarkable.

Just then, the mermaid’s outline lit up and a holographic image appeared. An incredibly beautiful woman appeared in front of those present.
