Chapter 97: Towards destiny (4)

The king squid is a squid with only a story.
In just two hundred days, it grew out of a body that no one else could match, and in just three days after the extraordinary power leaked from the ruins, it became a shocking behemoth. With its huge body and powerful tentacles, it Invincible in this ocean, invincible.
Until it met a strange person.
That person is smaller than it, thinner than it, and the thickest part of her body is not as good as one of its arms and legs.
However, in such a small body, there is a huge power beyond imagination. From birth to the present, the journey has been smooth. The king squid, who said that whoever died, died, was beaten by society for the first time. .
Its inexhaustible arms and legs were chopped off one by one, and the pain was so painful that it did not dare to grow again. It could only make itself a disabled king squid without arms and legs, and it was dragged by itself in a daze. The last arm and foot was stuffed into a narrow space, feeling that his internal organs were all squeezed into a ball.
Don't stuff it, it will really squeeze again.
Zhao Xiaokui did not understand the inner thoughts of the king squid.
She stuffed most of the squid into her mouth, wrapped herself with her arms and legs, and then shook the bracelet on her wrist to Zhu Wei and the others-it was an extraordinary tool specially made by Nightcrawler. The only function of any attack power is to transmit information across space.
Once the bound holder dies, an alarm will be sent.
Zhu Wei and the others immediately understood what Zhao Xiaokui meant--
She goes to find the way first. If there is a fatal danger, the bracelet will send an alarm. If she attracts attention, it will not be too late for them to come in.
The process of entering the ruins made Zhao Xiaokui feel like he had entered a drum washing machine, or the kind of rolling in all directions.
She suddenly understood why there was an anti-vertigo training in the previous training program, which was originally used in this place.
For a moment, she even thought that she was completely disconnected from the other world, but quickly, the weak but firm power of faith, like a kite string wrapped around her, continued from the other world. It rushed over, providing her with strength.
Before Zhao Xiaokui entered the ruins, he had already made enough psychological preparations, and believed that no matter what he saw, he would not be surprised.
But when the king squid used as a protective shield fled, she was really speechless when she saw the scene before her.
What appeared in front of her was a city in the sea.
But it was not the city that surprised her, but the mermaid statue with its tail raised high in the middle of the city.
This is a mermaid city.
Zhao Xiaokui looked directly at the mermaid statue, and his mouth grew into a big O shape.
If it weren't for the mermaid statue in the deep sea world that was a male, and it was obviously a female here, she would have thought she would wear it back.
Zhao Xiaokui swam towards the mermaid city for a while, and suddenly remembered that she still had a team of comrades. After taking a look at the mermaid statue in the city, she swam back again, stretched her hand with the bracelet into the passage and sent a safe message.
Moments later, there were fluctuations in the channel, and Zhu Wei and a few other confusing members were sent out.
"My God...I'm so dizzy...Why is this ruin so far away?"
A player with poor anti-vertigo ability knelt on the ground faintly as soon as he came out.
Even though Zhu Wei's gleaming eyes glanced around vigilantly, the expression on his stern face was not very good.
Zhao Xiaokui curiously asked: "Aren't all the ruins so dizzy?"
"Of course not." Zhu Wei categorically rejected. While looking at the city in front of him, he answered Zhao Xiaokui's question. He knew that Zhao Xiaokui had not been to the ruins several times. "The dizziness caused by entering different ruins is different. Usually I think that the farther the space of the ruin is from the space where we are, the stronger the vertigo will be. This ruin is probably the farthest ruin I have ever seen."
"Fuck... is that a mermaid? So the mermaid is a real creature, right?" A team member pointed to the mermaid statue not far away and exclaimed.
"Where? Where? Isn't it said that these cities are all sunk from the land to the sea? Where did the mermaids come from?"
Zhu Wei and others also saw the mermaid statues clustered in the center of many buildings.
They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Zhu Wei said decisively: "Go, take a look at it, and lift up your heart. The cultists are likely to hide inside."
"Yes."
The team members did not relax their vigilance. With Zhu Wei's warning, they were fully guarded and held their weapons tightly in their hands.
The group of people swam in the direction of Mermaid King City. When they were about to enter the city, Zhao Xiaokui suddenly felt that they seemed to have passed through a thin film, but the others did not seem to notice the anomaly.
She said: "Did you think we just passed something?"
Zhu Wei said: "What do you feel?"
Zhao Xiaokui said: "I just felt like we passed through an enchantment."
Zhu Wei motioned everyone to stop, reached out to the place Zhao Xiaokui said, and shook it, but he didn't feel anything.
Zhao Xiaokui also stretched out her hand and placed it on the place where she sensed the barrier, feeling the feeling of passing through a thin film again.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, just can pass through." Zhu Wei didn't struggle with this, and was ready to explore first.
As soon as they entered the city, they fell to the ground, ready to search from the outside in.
The buildings in King Mermaid City are in the shape of a meter as a whole. Several main roads converge in front of the mermaid statue. Different buildings are distributed on both sides of the road. They first enter the ordinary houses and search for them. The seaweed used to block the entrance is early. It has been decayed, and you only need to look inside with a probe to see a small room clearly.
They searched very quickly. Several people crossed into different rooms and quickly searched a street.
After the houses were searched, there were all kinds of palaces. For security reasons, when the first palace was searched, several people did not separate, but entered together, but there was nothing in the palace, just a few larger than ordinary houses. In some rooms, in order not to waste time, Zhu Wei decided to split into two teams. Zhao Xiaokui and him each took half of the people, and carried out searches at the same time.
As long as you keep a certain distance, any side can find a cultist and start a battle, and the other side can provide better support.
Zhao Xiaokui quickly entered a palace with her team members. While searching, she looked at the architectural patterns in the palace and compared it with the mermaid kingdom in the deep-sea world in her memory. Although the two are slightly different, they are big Some places are very similar, and Zhao Xiaokui soon judged that this should be the residence of a little priest.
Time decayed most of the valuable things. What they found were only a few overturned cups and utensils used in sacrifices. Judging from the traces of dust distribution, cultists should have also entered this place.
After quickly turning over the palace, they retreated. Zhao Xiaokui didn’t see Zhu Wei, thinking that they hadn’t finished searching, so she took her team into the next palace, but when she searched for three little priests Before seeing Zhu Wei and others in his palace, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Have you seen Captain Zhu and the others?"
The players all shook their heads and said no.
Zhao Xiaokui thought for a while and said, "Go, let's go back and have a look."
They returned to the first palace that the team had searched separately.
As soon as I entered, I saw Zhu Wei and a few team members madly attacking the air, and when they saw them, they were gesticulating not to come over.
Zhao Xiaokui said strangely: "What's wrong?"
She walked to the place where Zhu Wei and the others were attacking and stretched out her hand, only to find that her hand passed directly through without hindrance.
As her hands passed through, Zhu Wei and their voices passed through.
"Don't come here, it's weird here, we are all blocked inside, we can't get out!"
Zhao Xiaokui frowned, and touched the place where they said there was a barrier for a long time, but didn't feel anything. Finally, she pulled a knife from her calf and threw it in. After Zhu Wei picked it up, handed it out and the tip of the knife directly touched it. In an invisible place, the blade deformed slightly, and Zhao Xiaokui realized that the invisible barrier really existed.
She asked the other team members to come up and try, and found that the barrier seemed to be standing outside and she couldn't really feel it. Once inside, she couldn't open it alive or dead.
Zhao Xiaokui said: "Since we are not restricted outside, you put the knife in my hand and see if I can bring it out?"
Zhu Wei put the knife in her hand, Zhao Xiaokui drew it outward and took it out easily.
Her eyes lit up. Since the dagger can be brought out, can that person be too?
Zhu Wei obviously thought of this too. When she reached out, she grabbed her hand and was successfully dragged out.
When the others saw this, they also said to the people inside: "Come, take me, and I will pull you out."
Then there was the sound of meeting one after another.
The team member whose forehead hit the air wall looked at Zhu Wei who was standing outside the barrier with a blank face.
Why did they fail when the captain came out?
Zhao Xiaokui stretched out his hand to a team member who was locked in, and said, "You try to grab me?"
This time, the captured team member did not dare to walk directly outside as before, but carefully stretched out one foot to test whether the barrier was still there.
"Really gone!"
The players who came out step by step were surprised.
Zhu Wei was also surprised when he saw the scene before him, but soon he thought of something and asked, "Xiao Kui, did you bring something with you?"
What did you bring? Zhao Xiaokui fumbled all over his body for a while, and finally put his hand in from the neckline and pulled out a golden fish scale, "I brought this, is it its function?"
Zhu Wei said: "Can you give me this thing first?"
Zhao Xiaokui took off the fish scales without hesitation and put them in his hands.
Zhu Wei took the fish scales and stretched out his hand to the other team member who was locked inside, "You try to take me?"
He successfully pulled the person out, and the others leaned forward, looked at the fish scales in Zhu Wei's hand in surprise, and said, "What kind of treasure is this? Is it the noble pre-prop in the legend?"
