MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 27
The kingdom of mermaids is in the deep sea. For mermaids, their unique structure allows them to see the environment clearly even in the dark seabed, and their innate sense of direction guides them. However, as humans, they do not have this kind of convenience. The darkness and silence made several of them feel uneasy and restless.
"I'll be there soon." Li Xi turned to Duan Zhen and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, you can hug me."
After eating the seaweed and the mermaid's blood, Duan Zhen could understand what they said, and smiled at him.
Seeing that he was fine, Li Xi felt relieved and continued to move forward.
Duan Zhen lowered his eyes to see that Li Xi's hand holding him was the injured one, but the wound on the fingertip had healed at some point, and it didn't even have a scar when touched.
Such deep wounds healed so quickly, if they really fought with the mermaid, there was almost no chance of winning.
As he was thinking about something, his eyes, which had been in the dark all the time, suddenly caught a little light, and when he moved forward, he saw the whole picture of the light—a city built under water turned out to be in front of him!
"Here we are." Li Xi stopped and looked at him immediately: "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Duan Zhen felt warm and shook his head.
His night vision ability has undergone special training. In fact, he can always see the surroundings clearly. In addition, when he found the light, he immediately closed his eyes to prepare for adaptation, so he was not stung by the sudden light.
"It's fine." Li Xi laughed.
He turned his head and looked at the city in the distance. The city looked the same as those built by humans, except that the materials used for the construction were different, and it emitted a faint white light on the dark seabed.
Looking down from above, it can be seen that the tallest building in the middle is completely made of crystal.
"Is this the so-called Dragon Palace?" The red-tailed mermaid said very ignorantly.
"That's the mermaid's palace." The little octopus glanced at him: "As a mermaid, haven't you been here?"
"I haven't been back for a long time, I forgot." The red-tailed mermaid said perfunctorily.
The little octopus' eyes flickered, and he didn't continue to ask questions.
"Let's go." Li Xi interrupted them: "Afterwards, we need to ask the king to allow us to use Huawei Pond, and we still need to get the remaining few medicinal materials."
"That Huawei pool sounds very important, will it really let us use it?" The green-tailed mermaid doubted, "There won't be any price to pay, right?"
"Always ask." Li Xi said.
He disliked that other people asked too many questions, so he simply swam forward by himself: "If you don't want to, I will ask myself, but before that, you may have to wait outside."
The mermaid didn't care, but the humans had already had enough of the darkness, gritted their teeth and said, "We'll go in with you too."
In this mission, mermaids and humans do not cooperate with each other, and the worst is definitely humans. They have already followed them to the base camp, so it doesn't make much difference whether they go in or not.
They all said that, and those few mermaids couldn't say anything more.
A group of people swam to the front of the city, but were stopped by two soldiers guarding the gate.
The little soldier is also a mermaid, with a handsome appearance, wearing an armor made of unknown metal, and holding a long spear in his hand.
The little soldier scanned everyone's faces vigilantly, paying special attention to the few humans who were led by the mermaid.
When their eyes fell on Li Xi, there was a flash of amazement in their eyes, and the tone of their speech softened: "Are you here to participate in the concubine selection? To participate in the concubine selection, you need to register in the next room, and the food you bring also needs to be registered. .”
The faces of the people who were being led turned black.
"No." Li Xi shook his head: "I have something important to see the king."
The little soldier was surprised: "Are you trying to win the throne?"
Li Xi had heard from the mermaid last time, so she didn't show any surprise, but said calmly: "No."
He pointed to Duan Zhen beside him, and smiled slightly: "This is my partner. I found a way for him to become a mermaid. The wizard said that he must use the Huawei Pond in the palace."
Seemingly surprised by this incident, Xiaobing's eyes widened. But soon he restrained his expression: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard about turning humans into mermaids for a long time."
As he said that, he turned his head and said to the guard next to him: "You watch here, I will take them to register."
Xiaobing took them all the way to a room, asked them to write down their names and arrival time, and then wrote down the three characters of Huaweichi with a pen, and said: "The king is choosing a concubine recently, and he may not have time to receive you for the time being. You need to wait a little bit." Two days."
"We will also go out to find medicinal materials." Li Xi said.
"Just take these pass orders." The little soldier handed them a few black signs, which were so light that they could barely feel the weight.
"The few people you brought along had better keep them from going out in their residence." He kindly reminded: "There are quite a few guys in the city who like the smell of humans."
"I understand." Li Xi smiled at him: "Thank you for telling me this."
Xiaobing's face flushed slightly: "It's okay, this is what I should do."
After finishing speaking, he paused for two seconds, and asked somewhat unwillingly, "Do you really not want to be king?"
"I don't have that wish." Li Xi shook his head.
Xiaobing glanced at Duan Zhen enviously, and walked away step by step.
The people present saw the effect of Li Xi's face on the seabed, and they were a little dazed for a while.
They know that Li Xi is good-looking, but it's not easy to ignore the group of people behind them, right? Ever since that little soldier saw Li Xi's face, he never looked at them again.
"Don't worry, Brother Duan." Li Xi held Duan Zhen's hand: "I only like you."
Duan Zhen wanted to say that he was not worried about this matter, but when he thought about it carefully, he was actually a little worried—children tend to be emotionally involved. According to the fascination and enthusiasm of the mermaid on the seabed, if he is moved by his persistent pursuit, I definitely can't accept it when I finish the task and leave.
It's not that this kind of thing never happened in reality, because it took too long to complete the task, and I developed feelings with the people inside, and I heard that I haven't come out yet.
"Don't get too emotionally involved," he warned in a low voice.
"Okay!" Li Xi smiled,
The pass order given to them by Xiao Bing included a house, and he allocated a big house to Li Xi, where ten people could live there without being overcrowded.
There is even a room without water, which is said to be prepared for mermaids who prepare their own food. After all, it will swell and rot if soaked in water.
This explanation made several people look very unhappy, wondering if there was a dead person lying in this room.
"Just let it go." Li Xi also felt a little disgusted: "Wait for me to go out for a few days and find something to decorate."
Duan Zhen reached out and touched his head: "Don't bother, just stay here for a few days, and you can call me to find medicinal materials later."
Hearing the names of those medicinal materials, it seemed that he wanted to hunt and kill creatures in the ocean. Although Li Xi turned into a mermaid, it seems that the overall force value has increased a lot, but in Duan Zhen's heart, the other party is still the child who grabbed the corner of his clothes because of fear.
"Okay!" Li Xi agreed, and quietly grabbed his finger: "You wait for me here, I will go to the king to ask for the right to use it."
"I'll accompany you?" Duan Zhen frowned.
"It's okay, look at the mermaid's reaction to me, the king will definitely agree." Li Xi whispered: "Recently, in the kingdom, it's better not to make some troubles, after all, we still have to ask them for help."
One of them is inside the house and the other is outside (the mermaid can only jump with its tail when it enters the house). Although they are all talking about business, the sticky look of holding hands still makes others teeth ache.
"Isn't it growing better?" Someone in the room whispered.
They also want to be treated differently by beauties! Although the beauty was a bit cruel at the beginning, in the escape world, isn't the cruel beauty better!
Duan Zhen completely ignored everyone's envious and jealous eyes. There was no window in this room, so he couldn't look at the situation outside, so he had to sit by the door and close his eyes to think about the whole dungeon.
Although the mermaid behaves very harmlessly in front of Li Xi, he can vaguely sense the sense of disobedience hidden underneath, just like that little octopus, who is very obedient towards Li Xi but has a murderous look on his face.
Duan Zhen suspects that if it weren't for Li Xi's existence, this dungeon might really be a fight for them. information.
Just as he was thinking, he felt something hit the door, again and again, making a bang sound.
"What's going on?" the others asked in panic.
Less than five minutes after Li Xi left, the crisis of this world began to emerge...
