Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Mermaid?

Su Hu was somewhat surprised.

He had always thought it was a legendary creature.

Just as Su Hu stopped to observe, Su Chen tugged at his arm, signaling him to hurry up and leave.

This creature is called a merman, and it is very different from a mermaid.

The "In Search of the Supernatural" records: "Beyond the South Sea there are mermaids who live in the water like fish and do not cease weaving. When they weep, pearls come out of their eyes."

They have human bodies and fish tails, and their bodies are covered with hard scales.

This creature is also extremely brutal.

The group quickly swam away into the distance, and the merman suddenly awoke.

It suddenly opened its eyes and saw the people in front of it.

A piercing scream echoed from the bottom of the water.

Moments later, countless merfolk revived.

It turns out that thousands of mermaids of all sizes are hidden in the numerous holes at the bottom of the water.

In an instant, the merfolk charged towards Su Chen and his companions with fearless ferocity.

Gu Chen wielded a curved sword in both hands to meet the attack, while Su Chen also drew his black gold ancient sword.

These merfolk are extremely fast, and they have a significant advantage in both quantity and quality.

These merfolk are so troublesome!

Su Chen unleashed a palm strike, the incredibly powerful Overturning River Palm technique, which swept through the water and instantly knocked down dozens of merfolk.

Fish fins also grew on Gu Chen's back.

His speed and strength increased dramatically at the same time.

Yi Xiao also learned the Six Arts of the Water Demon. Although she was not as good as Su Chen, her strength was still formidable.

After fighting for more than ten minutes straight, we can't afford to drag this out any longer!

Just then, during Su Hu's battle with the merman, the Eclipse suddenly fell out of his backpack.

In an instant, the sinister aura emanating from Shi Tian swept outwards.

Even the surrounding seawater became icy cold.

Upon sensing this sinister aura, those vile people retreated and left the place.

"This Eclipse Heaven has always been located on the outer perimeter of the Jianmu tree, probably to keep out these merfolk!"

Su Hu thought to himself.

……

After getting rid of the merfolk, Su Chen and the others headed towards the bottom of the Jianmu tree.

This is a vast space, seemingly affected by a special object, resulting in weightlessness!

In the heart of the office, there was even a chessboard for Liuren divination!

Around the chessboard stand twelve ferocious statues!

The layout of the chessboard is also related to the Big Dipper.

The solution is still above.

Su Chen led everyone away quickly, returning to the vicinity of Jianmu.

"How is it, Chief Su?"

Chen Yulou inquired.

"We encountered some merfolk down below, which delayed us!" Su Chen said. "But we've already scouted out the situation down there!"

“I just found this inside!” Partridge Whistle took out another chessboard.

The chessboard has seven small holes, corresponding to the arrangement of the Big Dipper.

"Bring me the luminous pearl!"

Su Chen said.

Su Tian immediately took out the luminous pearl and placed it in Su Chen's hand.

As soon as the luminous pearl was placed into the chessboard, the entire chessboard immediately lit up with a dim blue light.

At the same time, a bronze disc popped out from the chessboard.

Then, Su Chen and the others went underwater again and placed luminous pearls into the mouths of the twelve sculptures.

Then place the Heaven and Earth Chessboard within the Sixth Divination Chessboard.

Just a moment!

The entire control room experienced continuous tremors.

The sculptures all turned around to face the chessboard!

Jianmu has started!

"Back to shore, back to Jianmu Village!"

Su Chen urged everyone to leave as soon as possible.

After it was activated, it began to collapse.

The massive tremor startled the merfolk within a radius of several miles, who then angrily charged towards Su Chen and his companions.

Even if there is a celestial eclipse, it can only be temporarily blocked.

Fortunately, the group searched and retreated until they finally reached the shore.

The merfolk followed closely behind and also came ashore, their bloodthirsty nature fully exposed.

"Da da da!"

The next second, a barrage of bullets rang out.

Previously, the group had obtained a considerable amount of firearms and ammunition from the abandoned ship.

With the firepower suppressing them, the speed of these merfolk's attack was greatly slowed down!

Fighting and retreating, the group returned to the Jianmu tree.

We plan to go up along the internal walkway.

Unfortunately, those merfolk were too troublesome!

Fearless of death, they actually broke down the gate and charged towards the crowd.

"You guys stay inside, I'll hold them off outside!"

Su Chen gave a few words of advice and then rushed out.

At this moment, Su Chen displayed all his power.

Like chopping melons and vegetables, these merfolk were unable to even resist Su Chen's blade, and were cleaved in two, their blood splattering everywhere!

Amidst the immense tremors, the Jianmu tree began to slowly rise into the air, and Su Chen fought with increasing ferocity!

In less than a few minutes, at least a hundred merfolk died at his hands.

At the same time, Su Chen was also climbing towards the top of the Jianmu tree from the outside.

A tremendous force burst through the dome, and Su Chen gripped tightly onto the protruding part of the Jianmu tree.

This process lasted for about a minute, and when everyone's eyes lit up again, they realized that they had finally reached the surface of the sea.

"Finally out!"

Su Chen sighed; he felt so suffocated underwater.

"Chief Su, are you alright?"

Chen Yulou's voice rang out in the distance.

"Don't worry! They're just a few merfolk!"

Su Chen sat on the Jianmu tree and joined the others.

They retied the broken timbers together to form a raft, and then boarded the raft and left.

However, the raft is very slow, and it's unknown how long it will take to leave this area.

……

Continuous exposure to the sun.

Everyone was a bit dehydrated. There was no shortage of food, but eating canned food every day was getting tiresome.

Catching a few fish from the bottom of the water is no problem, but who can stomach sashimi?

Let's just stick to canned food!

After drifting at sea for ten days, the group finally spotted land in the distance!

To be precise, it's an island.

They returned to Coral Temple Island!

Once ashore, the group drank large gulps of fresh water.

I'll rest here tonight.

The following day, they traveled by boat to Hainan Province, and from Hainan Province they took a steamer to Guangxi Province.

Return along the same route and take the train.

This trip to Guixu in the South China Sea took the longest, delaying the journey by at least forty days.

On the train, as they were about to enter Changsha City's sphere of influence, Su Chen was finally able to relax for a moment.

"Open the family treasure chest!"

Su Chen muttered to himself.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Human Emperor's Cauldron! (Legend has it that it was used in sacrifices by the ancestral Human Emperor, and it can suppress all evil spirits and enhance one's fortune.)"

"Once it takes effect in the family building, the income from the family farm will increase by 300%, and the progress will double for each family member or non-family member recruited!"

"May all family members have their lifespan increased by 30 years, and enjoy great fortune!"
