Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

This is indeed the first time I have seen a human being who can transform into a deep-sea monster.

"Father, they are indeed land people. Even though this guy has transformed into a giant turtle, he can't fool my eyes. There are many land people hidden in his belly!"

Prince Ji excitedly pointed his hands at Xuanwu, who was tied up like a dumpling.

General Yu, who always had a droopy face as if he had never woken up, swam over. Unlike other mermaids, his lower body was made up of eight octopus legs.

"Your Majesty, I don't think these guys came with good intentions!"

"After they arrived in the Deep Blue Kingdom, the first thing they did was to set their sights on our great Sun Tree. They wanted to steal its fruit."

"But luckily I'm here!"

He proudly placed a paw on his chest, a smug grin on his face.

"The incomparably brave General Yu of the Deep Blue Kingdom stopped them in time and prevented the Sun Tree from being destroyed."

There was a burst of exclamations all around, and the residents of the Deep Blue Kingdom looked at Xuanwu angrily, as if he had done something unforgivable.

"This damned land dweller actually wants to destroy the sun tree that we depend on for survival?"

"I suggest executing him immediately!"

"Don't be so wasteful. It would be better to make a specimen and display it in a museum!"

Hearing these words, the expression of the King of the Deep Blue Kingdom suddenly became solemn.

He leaned forward and stared at Xuanwu: "Are you thieves?"

At this time, Xuanwu understood their words and his face turned ugly with fright.

He hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, Your Majesty! We are merely a deep-sea exploration team that stumbled upon that tree laden with miraculous fruit. We thought it belonged to no one, so we came to pick the fruit. If we had known it belonged to you, we would never have touched it."

General Yu held his two octopus arms in disdain and said calmly, "I don't believe your nonsense! That's the fruit of the Sun Tree, it has magical powers. Even I'd be jealous... No, I mean, I'm really eager to get that power. Well... Anyway, you're all very hateful, and I must punish you severely!"

Prince Ji waved his hand. "There's no need to be like this. After all, the Sun Tree is a gift from heaven. And the Sun Fruit comes from the spiritual energy of these land dwellers. I think they should be given a chance to explain."

The scene was like a trial, and Xuanwu and others were silently waiting for the result of the trial.

Zhuque and Li Changgong could not understand the mermaids' language and could only know what they were saying through communicating with Xuanwu.

Li Changgong suddenly had an idea and said to Xuanwu, "If we want them to let us go, we must provide them with sufficient benefits. I believe they will definitely be interested in what is happening on land. I have an idea, you should try it."

Li Changgong told Xuanwu about his plan. After listening to it, Xuanwu felt that it made some sense. Anyway, the only way now was to give it a try.

So when the people of the surrounding Deep Blue Kingdom were angrily accusing them, Xuanwu spoke.

"Your Majesty, and the people of the Undersea Kingdom, please listen to me!"

His tone grew serious. "Our world is facing a tremendous crisis. The end of the world is imminent. We enter the deep sea in search of treasure only to gain the strength to withstand the apocalyptic crisis."

"This matter concerns every living thing on this planet, even you, the underwater races, are no exception."

Hearing Xuanwu's serious voice, the mermaids from the Deep Blue Kingdom at the scene quieted down, their faces filled with worry.
