Chapter 244 [Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea] 7

The Crimson Scepter involves the main quest, and Feng Lan finally took the initiative to interrupt.

"Didn't they say that the Sea God's Scepter was lost?"

Hong Yu glanced at her. Perhaps because Wu Fang had not responded, someone finally interrupted her. She reluctantly explained to this little white fish that came out from some unknown corner.

"The ones lost were the Gem Scepter and the Deep Blue Scepter. The Deep Red Scepter was found by my father, the leader of the Black Tail Clan."

Hong Yu and Rong Youyan raised their heads, and after seeing Feng Lan's admiring expression, she felt refreshed and the corners of her mouth curled up.

"It is precisely because the Crimson Scepter is in our tribe that the Black Tail Tribe's territory is so peaceful. Storms, whirlpools, and cold waves can all be calmed by it."

"Wow, so powerful?"

Hong Yu raised her hand and easily caught a big fish with a black belly and a golden body. The water gathered into a vortex in her palm, and she easily removed the scales and internal organs. With a stroke of her sharp fingers, the fish meat broke into pieces, which were still pink. Hong Yu picked it up and put it into her mouth gracefully.

"Of course, but the most powerful one has to be the Deep Blue Scepter."

There was a hint of regret in Hong Yu's words. "The crimson scepter, which represents the control of the sea god, can only calm the anger of the sea, such as storms and tsunamis. However, the deep blue scepter, which represents power, can stir up tsunamis and storms and easily control the anger of the ocean. If we had the crimson scepter, our Black Tail tribe would have unified the mermaid tribe long ago."

Feng Lan couldn't help but look up after hearing this, and carefully looked at Hong Yu for the first time. "So if you have the Crimson Scepter and unify the mermaids, what are you going to do?"

The Black Tail Clan had obviously had their own thoughts on this matter long ago, so when Feng Lan asked about it, Hong Yu blurted out without hesitation, "The royal family, our Black Tail Clan will naturally become the king of mermaids. Those mermaids must obey us and pay tribute to us, the Black Tail Clan."

That was all Hong Yu could think of, but the ambition in her words gave Feng Lan a glimpse of the Blacktail Tribe's attitude towards other mermaid races. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Blacktail Tribe had found the deep blue scepter. If they had found the deep red scepter, it was hard to say whether the seabed would be as peaceful as it is now.

Wu Fang next to him was indifferent to Hong Yu's words. It was obvious that he was well aware of the Black Tail Clan's ambitions.

"Then why don't you use the Deep Blue Scepter to calm the underwater storm? If you're worried about it being snatched away by malicious mermaids, you can just send someone more powerful to carry the scepter out."

"The seabed is vast. They can move to a place without whirlpools or storms."

Hong Yu took it for granted. Feng Lan sighed in his heart but said nothing. This was a problem within the human family group. As long as the Black Tail Clan remained strong, the conflict would not escalate.

There were two tails following Wu Fang, but he pretended they didn't exist and swam to the school of fish where he was eating as usual. After looking for a while, he chose the fattest one. With a "whoosh", Feng Lan saw only a black shadow shooting out like lightning. The next second, Wu Fang returned to the original place, but with a fish in his hand. Wu Fang stretched out his claws and cut a hole in the fish's body. A white line was led out from the fish's body and went into Wu Fang's mouth.

After eating, Wu Fang threw the whole fish away and it turned into sand and scattered in the sea like rotten wood.

Blame it on environmental protection.

Feng Lan thought, can you taste the food if you eat like this?

"You eat fast like this, but can you taste it?"

Wu Fang stared at Feng Lan with his dark eyes, grinning and revealing his sharp teeth, "Of course."

The murderous aura from Wu Fang rushed straight towards Feng Lan, as a deliberate threat.

Feng Lan wasn't frightened. She shook her head and said, "It's definitely not as delicious as normal fish."

Wu Fang didn't say anything. He had a big appetite and ate four fish, two big, chewy octopuses, a blue prawn half the height of a man, a passing shiny hairtail, and a few abalone as a snack.

After eating, he would rinse his mouth with fruit. He is quite clean.

Feng Lan ate less, mainly because the freshness of the fish had not yet worn off. Wu Fang was suspected to have a dark system, and Hong Yu clearly had a water system. It was unclear whether it was magic, superpowers, or other ability systems from this world.

However, with the help of water magic, Feng Lan successfully caught the fish. Today's black-bellied whitefish had a lot of fish eggs in its belly, which was very fragrant. It tasted like fermented flavored mayonnaise, and the bones were very soft. It was fresh and sweet at the same time, and it tasted better and better the more she ate. Feng Lan ate four small ones and caught a large shrimp. She had good teeth, but she was used to the way humans eat.

First, remove the shrimp's claws, abdomen, and head, and smoothly pull off the tail and the shrimp thread inside, leaving only the shrimp meat. You can smell the flavor of the shrimp meat just by smelling the wind, it would be a pity not to dip it in vinegar.

Feng Lan took a bite. Because it was raw meat, it was still twitching, with the unique sweetness of shrimp meat, and it was icy cold. It would taste even better if it were scooped out of the juice. Feng Lan took two bites of the raw meat and wanted to try the cooked version. The temperature of his hands increased and he cooked the shrimp meat directly. It was whiter, tenderer and redder than the transparent raw meat. Hmm... it tasted very good too, with less blood.

Hong Yu felt a little upset when she saw Feng Lan eating. Why was it so... troublesome?

But after finishing the meal, Hong Yu had stayed here long enough. She glanced at Wu Fang reluctantly and said, "I have to go back, Wu Fang. I'll come to see you next time."

Feng Lan swam a few times and followed Hong Yu. "Excuse me, where is your territory? Is there a place to exchange things? I've run out of some things and need to replenish them."

She turned to explain to Wu Fang, "I still have to come back at night, but it's not very comfortable to live in a bare cave. You won't chase me away, will you?"

"what ever."

Wu Fang said nothing, flicked his tail, and left to patrol the territory.

Hong Yu naturally didn't mind. She even hoped that Feng Lan would stop hanging around Wu Fang!

"can."

Hong Yu felt the flow of water and the light. "It's still early. Algae City should have just opened not long ago. You're lucky. Mermaids from nearby territories happened to come here recently. Algae City has quite a variety of things to offer."

Feng Lan smiled and swam with Hong Yu for more than an hour before they reached the territory she said was very close. Hong Yu was very fast. Feng Lan estimated the distance to be about 1,500 kilometers. It seems that Hong Yu, who has the perseverance to travel back and forth between the territory and the territory of the person she likes, can use this perseverance to do other things. What can't she succeed in?

Compared to the small territory of the Wu side, the place where the black-tailed mermaids live is very obvious, and Feng Lan saw obvious buildings.

Built with colorful corals and huge white stones, inlaid with pearls and glowing gems, the territory is in a flat basin on the seabed. There is a huge square surrounded by houses. However, Feng Lan saw scattered caves in the distance, where mermaids also came in and out. It seems that not all mermaids of the Black Tail Clan live in houses.

Hong Yu took Feng Lan past the mermaid guards on patrol.

They were wearing armor made of unknown vines, holding spears in their hands, with cold expressions and tall statures. The whole fish looked very strong. Including the long black tail, the body length was four and a half meters.

"your Highness!"

"Ah."

Hong Yu nodded as a response to the guard's salute, and continued to swim inside without stopping.
