Seven Strings in Dreams

While Leah and Nuomin were arguing, all the seafood in the fishing basket spilled out.

Nuomin: "I said, if we die, we die together!"

Liya picked up the conch on the ground and smashed it hard against Nuomin's wrist. Nuomin's blood splashed on Liya's face. Liya's hand was too strong and crushed the shell of the conch. Liya didn't notice the changes in her palm, but Nuomin noticed it.

Nuomin suddenly let go and Liya fell down.

Nuomin laughed wildly and said, "Retribution, everything is retribution! Hahahaha"

Then Nuomin fainted.

Liya got up and kicked Nuomin.

Leah: “I’m sick!”

Leah still couldn't bear to part with these seafood. There were beautiful conches under her feet, but when she thought of the conch that she had just crushed, she felt extremely disgusted.

I don't know why these conches are crawling towards Liya. She wanted to leave, but there were conches under her feet, so she had to step over. The sound of the conch shells breaking came one after another. At first, Liya didn't feel anything, but she felt more and more that something was wrong. It seemed that someone was staring at her. Liya looked back at Nuomin and the others, but it was not them. The more anxious Liya was to leave, the more flustered she became. She accidentally slipped again. A conch slowly crawled onto her face, and Liya hurriedly got it off. Only then did Liya realize that her hands seemed to be powerless, and her whole body began to feel weak. She could only feel the conch slowly crawling on her face, as if looking for a satisfactory position. The conch finally stopped on Liya's left eye, and then Liya felt as if countless needles were piercing her left eye. Liya wanted to shout, but she couldn't make any sound. Liya rolled over in pain, and finally curled up on the ground and fainted.

Wulan had been trying to break free from the rope, especially when Liya and Nuomin placed the fish baskets filled with seafood next to her. Wulan felt a strange sound coming from the fish basket. It was like the sound of animals crawling, but it seemed wrong. Wulan was not an ordinary woman, she had mysterious animal horns on her body. Wulan guessed that the sounds made by these animals might affect people's brains and make people hallucinate. Wulan hated herself for being incompetent at this time.

Wulan broke free from the ropes on her hands and quickly untied the ropes on her feet. Wulan opened the fish basket of Liya and the others, and a large number of colorful conches appeared in front of Wulan.

Wulan: "Oh no! How could this happen!"

Wulan quickly covered the fish basket and ran towards the beach.

Due to the high tide, the reef in the distance was not particularly clear. Wulan stood on the beach and roughly estimated that in less than half an hour, the reef would be completely submerged in the sea. Wulan jumped into the sea without hesitation and swam towards the reef. Liya was not her biological daughter, but she had raised her since she was a child. Little Liya brought her a lot of happiness and made her experience the happiness of being a mother. She couldn't let Liya get hurt. This child had been without relatives since she was born. She said she would let Liya grow up safely and happily.

Wulan swam to the reef with great effort. If it was normal, swimming this far would not be a big deal, but now it was high tide, Wulan was washed back again and again, and it took a lot of effort to swim over and over again.

Wulan didn't stop, she ran to Liya and hugged her in her arms.

Wulan: "Liya, Liya, wake up, don't fall asleep! Ali will tell you everything you want to know!"

After Wulan arrived, the conches slowly retreated. Wulan found that Liya was just unconscious, so she went to check on Nuomin and the other three. Wulan found that Nuomin and Rejia were still alive, so she quickly moved them to the highest reef. Although Ah Xi was dead, Nuomin was carrying her on his back, and it seemed that he was going to take her away. Wulan also moved her body nearby. Wulan couldn't bear to watch these people die at such a young age. She knew that she shouldn't expect others to save her. She decided to send Liya to a safe place first, and then she would come back to save Nuomin and the others. In short, if she could save one person, she would save one person. Wulan felt that she was getting weaker and weaker, so she quickly carried Liya on her back and wanted to leave. Liya was covered in blood, and the blood spread as soon as she entered the water. Wulan realized the danger as soon as she entered the water, and at the critical moment, Wulan threw Liya back to the reef. She was entangled by something all of a sudden. Wulan tried to see her situation clearly. Her feet were entangled in seaweed, and there were some corals around her. There were no fish nearby. Wulan tried to break free and reached out to grab the seaweed, but suddenly she pulled her hand back. A white sea snake emerged from the seaweed and almost bit Wulan's hand. Wulan took out the animal horn, and the little white snake hesitated for a moment, then ran away again. Wulan quickly took the opportunity to break free and swam up. Although these marine animals seemed to be afraid of animal horns, they were not as afraid as the animals in the mountains. Wulan's leg was scratched by the coral while she was trying to break free. After swimming up, she couldn't even stand steadily.

Wulan realized that the seaweed and corals were not that simple. Wulan crawled to Leah and said sorry.

Wulan was lying on the reef and felt dizzy. All she could hear was the sound of the sea hitting the reef...

Wu Na and Meng Xianyu saw a lot of small white octopuses, asparagus, and kelp along the way. Meng Xianyu regretted not bringing a small fishing basket with her.

Wu Na: "These seaweeds are everywhere. I'll come with you tomorrow morning!"

Meng Xianyu: "Don't worry about me, I just feel sorry for seeing them! They are all good things."

Wu Na: “It’s not delicious either.”

Meng Xianyu: "That's because you don't know how to cook it. I'll teach you a few tricks and I guarantee you'll love it."

Wu Na: "Xianyu, where are you looking?"

Meng Xianyu: "Where?"

Wu Na grabbed Meng Xianyu's arm and pointed in a direction.

Meng Xianyu looked in the direction Wu Na pointed.

Meng Xianyu: "It looks like a fish basket?"

Wu Na: "I am not seeing things, am I? They must be nearby!"

Wu Na ran towards the fish basket.

Meng Xianyu: "Hey, Wu Na..."

Meng Xianyu had no choice but to run.

Several fish baskets were neatly placed there, along with ropes stained with blood.

When Meng Xianyu came over, Wu Na was squatting on the ground studying the rope.

Meng Xianyu: "Why is there blood?"

Wu Na: "Fairy Language"

Meng Xianyu: "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Wu Na: "I made this rope myself!"

Meng Xianyu: "Could it be that they caught a big fish and used it to tie up the fish?"

Wu Na: "My method of braiding ropes is different from Ali and the others. This is not what they brought, they don't know how to do it."

Meng Xianyu: "Then you lent the rope to someone else?"

Wu Na: "Only the two ropes are missing..."

Meng Xianyu: "It was tied to the reef, and then the rope was taken away!"

Wu Na: “That’s it.”

Meng Xianyu: "My enemy, Lu Zai, where are they?"

Wu Na: "There are five fish baskets here, two of which belong to Ali and Liya."

Meng Xianyu: "Are you sure?"

Wu Na: “Yes.”

Meng Xianyu: "That person must be nearby, look for him quickly"

Wu Na: “Yeah.”

Meng Xianyu shouted loudly, but there was no other sound except the sound of the waves.

Wu Na: "Stop shouting! There is only one possibility, it's over there"

Meng Xianyu looked over and could only see some scattered reefs. As for whether there was anyone on them, she had no idea.

Meng Xianyu: "I can't see clearly at this distance!"

Wu Na: "You go back and find someone, I'll swim over and take a look!"

Meng Xianyu: "Don't go yet. If the person is not over there, you swam there in vain."

Wu Na: “I have to go”

Meng Xianyu: "Then I'll accompany you!"

Wu Na: “I can protect myself”

After saying this, Wu Na rushed into the sea, but Meng Xianyu stopped her.

Meng Xianyu: "Wuna, no, it's high tide now. The sea water will soon submerge the reef. You are swimming against the current and there is no place to rest. If you swim this distance back and forth, you might even get killed! How can you save people?"

Wu Na: "Then what do you say we should do? Tell me."

Meng Xianyu: "Boat! Is there any boat nearby?"

Wu Na: "It's too late!"

"Enough! Stop arguing!" A man wrapped in a black and gold cloak suddenly appeared.

Wu Na: "Wu Na has met the high priest"

Meng Xianyu: "High Priest? Hello!"

High Priest: "Where is Ulan?"

Wu Na: "I'm not sure, but Ali's fish basket is here. We've searched everywhere nearby. We can only hope that it's there."

High Priest: "Just wait here obediently. My people will be here soon. Let them wait here!"

After the high priest finished speaking, he threw the token over. Wu Na was not aware of it for a moment, and Meng Xianyu reached out to catch it.

The high priest glanced at Meng Xianyu and asked, "Foreigner?"

Meng Xianyu: “Yes”

High Priest: “Good skills”

After the high priest finished speaking, he used his lightness skills to fly towards the reef that was about to disappear.

Meng Xianyu: "Oh my god! That's amazing! He can even walk on water! It's amazing!"

Wu Na: "Aren't you afraid of him?"

Meng Xianyu: "What are you afraid of?"

Wu Na: "But everyone is afraid of him"

Meng Xianyu: "You are afraid of him, that's your business. Why should I be afraid of him? People are born equal, there is no such thing as high and low."

Meng Xianyu looked at the token in her hand. The image on the token should be a manta ray. It is shaped like a carp, with a fish body and bird wings.

Meng Xianyu: "Is this a manta ray?"

Wu Na: “Yeah!”

Meng Xianyu: "What is this token made of? It's quite heavy!"

Meng Xianyu weighed it in her hand, but had no idea what kind of rare metal it was.

Wu Na: "Be careful!"

Meng Xianyu: "I understand. Let's go back to the shore first."

Wu Na: “Okay”

Meng Xianyu: "Are you relieved now?"

Wu Na: "If the high priest can't find Ali and the others, what can I do if I go there?"

Meng Xianyu: "Don't worry, good people will be blessed by heaven, Aunt Wulan and the others will be fine!"

As soon as Meng Xianyu and Wu Na returned to the shore, six people dressed similarly to the high priest came.

Wu Na: “Someone is coming.”

Meng Xianyu: “Six.”

The six people stopped in front of Wu Na and Meng Xianyu, and the leader asked: "Have you seen the high priest?"

Meng Xianyu took out the token and held it up.

Meng Xianyu: "The high priest asked you to wait here"

The six people bowed to Meng Xianyu and Wu Na and responded in unison: "Yes, sir."
