Chapter 593 (1/2)
The weather on the sea was truly hard to predict. Yesterday, the sky had still been clear and calm, but today, lightning flashed everywhere along with thunderclaps. There was also a heavy rainstorm and strong gales. Sea waves would suddenly rise more than ten meters before slamming heavily on the sea again. Now, looking out as far as the eye could see, one could only see dreary and hazy wind and rain, and the entire vast world above the sea appeared hazy.
”Young Master, how long until we reach the Undersea City?” In a tent pitched on a small island, Liuli, who was leaning on Long Yi's shoulder, asked while watching the sea waves outside the barrier.
”It shouldn't be too long now. With the flying speed of Bai Yu, in another half a month, we will definitely reach the Undersea City,” Long Yi patted the shoulder of Liuli and softly said.
Liuli nodded her head, but the melancholy condensed within her glabella didn't disperse. The closer they got to the Undersea City, the more nervous she became, and she got all the more worried about the safety of her Aunt Bifei and Maid Xiaomi. She feared that when they entered Undersea City, she would hear unfortunate news about them. After all, they had been banished from the Sea Race.
Long Yi felt Liuli's uneasiness and sighed inwardly, but he didn't speak, even though his heart was also somewhat taut. Undersea City was a world he had never come into contact with. According to the Demonic Dragon King, Undersea City had an extremely anti-foreigner stance; moreover, they were unusually powerful in the sea. Although he didn't fear to fight against them and also believed that no one in the world could block him from going anywhere he wanted, the purpose of this trip was absolutely not to enter conflict with the entire Sea Race, but rather finding out what exactly had happened to the Mermaid Clan hundreds of years ago in order for them to be banished from Undersea City. If possible, he even wanted to use his greatest efforts to unite the entire Sea Race.
The waves rolled over and over again on the sea's surface. But, there was also an undercurrent beneath the sea.
More than one kilometer under the sea, a group of sea tribes with strange looks and weapons were divided into two camps that were fighting. To be more precise, it was a complete one-sided slaughter.
Several hundred shark-headed people, each with a sharp fin on their backs, who were clearly of the Shark Clan held jagged weapons and were besieging a hundred or so people with thick sh.e.l.ls on their backs. They were the Clam Clan and wielded huge hammers forged with iron and deep sea stone.
All the clansmen of this Shark Clan were well-trained, full of valor, vigor, and bloodthirstiness; moreover, their attacks were orderly. In contrast, those clansmen of Clam Clan were far inferior. Although their defenses were pretty good, they had already suffered heavy casualties under the attacks of the Shark Clan. Their blood attracted a large crowd of sharks, but they didn't dare to approach this battlefield as they feared those people of the Shark Clan.
Among this Clam Clan, a handsome young man and a beautiful young girl with a purple sh.e.l.l on their backs were guarded in the middle. Clearly, they were important figures of the Clam Clan.
”Prince, Princess, these are transfer stones! We cannot hold on much longer! Quickly leave this place using these transfer stones.” An aged man of the Clam Clan stuffed two stones with magic runes carved on them in the hands of the young man and young girl. His aged face was filled with tears at the thought of his Clam Clan being destroyed overnight. Already, thousands of their clansmen had been ma.s.sacred.
That handsome young man of the Clam Clan, nevertheless, looked stubborn, and looking at his guards falling down one after another, his eyes practically shot flames.
”I will not leave; I want to fight against these sc.u.mbags!” This young man waved his hand and yelled. Then, tightly gripping his purple iron hammer, he roared and rushed forward. He swung his hammer and actually killed several clansmen of the Shark Clan. He was very bold and powerful.
”Sijiate, come back!” That young girl of Clam Clan anxiously shouted and also prepared to rush over.
”Princess, let this old servant bring back the Prince.” The aged man of the Clam Clan stopped their princess; then he rushed over, gritting his teeth. Now, the Prince and Princess represented the only remaining bloodline of their Clam Clan's imperial family; they absolutely could not let them fall into any mishap; otherwise, he would not have any face upon meeting the Clam King in death to whom he had many debts of grat.i.tude.
At this moment, because of the appearance of this handsome young man, practically all the warriors of Shark Clan crazily rushed over toward his direction and attacked violently, instantly offing nearly half of the bodyguards protecting this young man. Although this young man was very bold and powerful, he was unable to match this group of bloodthirsty warriors of Shark Clan, and the numbers of wounds on his body increased.
”Prince, watch out!” A sad wail resounded, and this young man only felt that he was involuntarily falling backward as the scenery in front of his eyes became hazy.
When he flung back his head and looked forward, he saw blood spraying. He was indescribably sad. He saw that that old servant who had been so loyal and devoted to his Clam Clan had already become a dismembered corpse. He roared with sorrow and rushed forward madly, despite the forest of sharp saws in front.
Several warriors of the Shark Clan fell under the hammer of this young man, but ice-cold weapons attacked him from all directions in turn. Those were the special jagged swords of the Shark Clan. The remaining bodyguards of the Clam Clan didn't have time to save this young man. The young man hopelessly closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of his end.
”Sijiate…” The soft voice of the Princess of the Clam Clan resounded in the ears of the young man.
At that time, the young man suddenly felt like he was dreaming: he didn't feel the antic.i.p.ated pain. He turned his head and saw a gorgeous blood flower bursting from the body of his big sister, and she was warmly watching him while slowly floating away in the sea. That was his big sister, the only magician of Clam Clan. After using all of her magic power, she had cast a Damage Transfer Magic Spell with her life as the price to s.h.i.+ft all the damage of the attacks aimed at him.
”Prince, leave quickly!” The remaining guards quickly seized this chance and guarded their prince again.
The young man of Clam Clan helplessly watched his big sister being washed away. She was going to fall into the mouths of those bloodthirsty sharks. Upon seeing this, he hastily rushed over and held her tight.
