Before Xiuji's subordinates arrived, Xiyu grabbed a black tail that was unconscious on the ground.

The giant snake made a lot of noise, and when the patrol team arrived in a hurry, the remaining mermaids had been taken away by several sea snake soldiers, who said that they had gone out of their way in the middle of the night and bumped into the sea snake leader who happened to be out.

When the mermaid elders invited Xiu Qi to come, what they were most afraid of was that the mermaids in the clan would resist and do some stupid things because of this, and they repeatedly warned the mermaids to be honest.

It shouldn't have come out together during the sleeping time at night. When the sea serpent soldiers said it was Xiu Qi's order, the mermaids on the patrol didn't even dare to ask more questions, and let them take a few black-tailed mermaids away.

And the black-tailed mermaid is the strongest existence in the clan, so many of them added together, like a few small shrimps, will faint when you slap it, it's really... too embarrassing.

In order not to cause panic, the patrol team quickly cleaned up the shattered reefs and corals nearby, as if nothing had happened.

When they left, the black-tailed mermaid taken away by Xi Yu woke up from a coma.

He was in pain all over, and found himself in an unfamiliar sea area, his hands were tied behind his back by a few strong aquatic plants, and his back was leaning against a rock, unable to move.

There was no one around, and the aquatic plants in the corner of the reef fluttered quietly in the night. He quickly turned on the system and sent a message to his companions, asking about their conditions.

At this time, a familiar figure appeared from a distance, it was the silver-tailed mermaid who stopped them earlier.

"Are you awake?" Xi Yu walked closer, and the player saw his face clearly and recognized who he was.

"Xi, Xiyu?" The player didn't know the situation, "Is it Xiyu? I remember you."

He looked around: "Where are we? I don't know who tied me up, please help me..."

The player turned sideways, revealing his hands tightly bound by aquatic plants.

Xi Yu was unmoved, and looked at him inquiringly: "You can't even break free?"

As a black tail, how could it be trapped by a few aquatic plants.

The player heard Xi Yu's meaning, and looked embarrassed: "That... because I was injured, you also saw the giant snake just now..."

Xi Yu looked down at him with indifferent eyes: "What are you trying to do to stop that black tail?"

The player noticed something was wrong, and said vigilantly: "This is a private matter between us."

No matter who the mermaid in front of me is, it's just an npc, why ask these questions.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of small black fish with the thickness of fingers came out of nowhere, and swarmed towards him, biting him.

The screams sounded instantly, and when Xi Yu raised his hand, the little fish retreated one after another.

"Don't say?" His tone was cold, showing a trace of impatience.

The player's face was bitten several times by the small fish, and he said quickly: "I said, I said... We wanted to buy fish from him, but we didn't get in touch during the day, so..."

He told the truth about Xia Zhu and Mingshu's news about selling fish, and concealed the relationship between system tasks and players. They didn't want to target Mingshu at first, as long as he obediently handed over the fish.

"Jumping fish?" Xi Yu frowned slightly.

The black tail in front of him claims that they can't catch fish, so he wants to buy it directly from other merfolk who are running for the election.

And the fish in Mingshu's hand was given by him.

Did Mingshu turn around and sell the fish he sent?

Or is there some misunderstanding here.

The player didn't know Xiyu's intentions, and wanted to explain a few words, but before he could make a sound, he was horrified to see groups of small black fishes swarming up.

Not long after, the mermaid by the reef turned into a pile of white bones, with silvery white scales scattered all over the ground, and a mass of black viscous liquid floating in the water.

The liquid clings to the aquatic plants, and the aquatic plants wither immediately.

It's such a poisonous liquid again... This black tail is also fake.

The small fish hides in the fine sand with its scales in its mouth, and Xi Yu looks at the withered aquatic plants in a daze.

He thought of the giant snake that took Mingshu away. Mingshu went to the center of the territory where the leader of the sea snake was located for two nights, and he only came back the next day. He knew about it.

Ever since Yi Qing was killed, a few small black fishes have been following Ming Shu around, telling Xi Yu his location at any time.

But Xiaoyu's ability is limited. On the first night when Mingshu went to the center of the territory, there were too many mermaids waiting outside, so Xiaoyu lost him in the end.

The next day, Xi Yu saw Ming Shu and Xia Zhu returning together during the day. Ming Shu's lip was injured, and there was an obvious red mark on the side of his neck.

Ming Shu's shy and innocent demeanor afterwards made Xi Yu almost think that he had really misunderstood.

But on the second night, he went again. This time, there was no mermaid guarding outside, and the small fish he followed stopped outside the water wall and could no longer move forward.

Outside the water wall is the place where Ming Shu stayed for the last time. He went to the courtyard of the leader of the sea snake, and he went quietly from the side without notifying and leading the sea snake soldiers.

Mermaids, and sea snakes?

The two should hate each other, but the two black tails that died in his hands were indeed related to the sea snake. The black liquid that overflowed from the fish tail after their death was most likely the venom of the sea snake.

Mingshu was taken away by the giant snake that came tonight, or rescued, which also confirmed part of Xiyu's guess.

So Ming Shu and the leader of the sea snake are together for the sake of the patriarch?When it comes to finalizing a successor, the leader of the Sea Serpent has a valuable choice.

With a blank expression on his face, Xi Yu waved his hand towards a reef in the distance, smashing the bones on the ground.

But compared to the relationship between Mingshu and the leader of the sea snake, he wanted to know another thing.

——Did Ming Shu sell the fish he sent?



Returning to the familiar courtyard, Ming Shu pulled back the finished robe, revealing half of his face: "They didn't see me..."

He knew that Xiu Qi was helping him, but it would be bad if their relationship was exposed because of this incident.

In addition, Ming Shu was also afraid that Xi Yu might see something, he had to rely on Xi Yu to complete the campaign mission, and it was best not to make mistakes.

"Don't worry, you hid it well," Xiu Qi reassured, "As for those mermaids, I will deal with them."

Ming Shu was still a little worried: "Will the elders in the clan trouble you?"

In order to save their lives, those players might talk nonsense, and it would be best to deal with it as soon as possible, but Xiuju is the leader of another clan after all.

"Give them a hundred guts, but they wouldn't dare," Xiu Qi carried Ming Shu back to the bedroom, and said, "Even if you are dissatisfied, so what, I can take you away at any time."

He happened to overhear Ming Shu's conversation with Xia Zhu during the day, and he thought it was because of Xia Zhu that Ming Shu lied to him, but seeing the relationship between the two, it seemed that they were really just friends.

Xiu Qigeng never paid much attention to the mermaid tribe. Most of the sea snakes are far stronger than the mermaids, because they need air all the time on the bottom of the sea, and the expansion of their territory is limited.

Otherwise, sooner or later, this entire sea area will belong to the Sea Snake Clan.

He entered the bedroom, put Mingshu into the water tank, and asked why those black tails blocked Mingshu.

Ming Shu spoke half-truths and half-truths: "They want to snatch my fish...the kind they want to catch in campaign missions."

Xiu Kun replied, not sure if he believed it or not, and suddenly asked after a while: "I read the list and score, and you caught fish on the first day, why didn't you tell me?"

Mingshu's breathing stagnates, and his heartbeat starts to speed up.

He didn't expect that the lie he said casually in order to be more truthful would be seen through so quickly by Xiuqi.

Xiu Kun stroked Ming Shu's hair, his eyes were downcast, and he couldn't see if he was angry.

Mingshu bit the bullet and said: "Because... because I was in a hurry to take the pearl to the dark sea on the first day, and was almost discovered by other mermaids. I was afraid that you would be angry if you found out..."

He told Xiuwen that there were still three small fish in the stomach of the jumping fish he caught, one was given to Xia Zhu, and they were going to sell the other two, so what happened tonight happened.

Xiu Qi frowned: "Why would I be angry with you because of this?"

He lowered his head and kissed Ming Shu's forehead, as if to comfort him: "But you really shouldn't have gone so early, and next time you don't want to deal with those mermaids."

It was Mingshu who said that he had to do it by himself, so the existence of the pearl could not be discovered.

Ming Shu looked at Xiu Qi timidly: "...Well, I will pay attention to it in the future."

This is... Believe it?What he said was seventy-eight percent true, and concealing the time to complete the task was just a trivial matter.

Ming Shu embraced Xiu Qi, kissed him proactively, and was breathless when they parted at last.

He changed his legs back, came out of the water tank, and sat on Xiuqi's body.

Xiu Kun caressed his white and moist skin with his palm, and unbuttoned Ming Shu's jacket: "Don't worry too much, I'm here for everything, if you can't be the patriarch, follow me back to the territory."

——When the leader's wife.

This sounded a bit familiar, Ming Shu mentioned it to Xia Zhu only during the day.

He was by Xiuqi's side, he was indeed the safest and most at ease, and he could give him all the protection other than the mission.

Ming Shu was dizzy from being kissed, and coaxed into agreeing.

Xiuju seemed to be very excited tonight. Mingshu woke up during the day and saw a red mark on his left wrist.

He was not very happy, and when Xiu Qi approached, he pushed him, and pulled down his sleeve to cover his wrist: "I told you not to make marks..."

In fact, this trace can be easily eliminated, but seeing that Ming Shu cared so much, he deliberately refused to help him as if he had done something bad.

"What are you afraid of?" He hugged Mingshu, "Could it be possible to see how it happened?"

Xiu Qi didn't change his face, and described the situation last night. Ming Shu's cheeks were flushed, and he hurriedly covered his mouth: "Stop talking..."

[Ding dong—trigger a random task]

Ming Shu didn't even look at the task carefully, just snapped off the coral branch next to the bed, and threw it to Xiu Qi.

The coral branch fell aside, Xiu Wei reached out to pick it up.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully sending [Dry White Coral Branch], the npc favorability increased by 30 points]

[The faction value has been updated, please go to the background to check for yourself]

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the main task [-]!Please keep up the good work! 】

Several system messages popped up one after another. Mingshu opened the panel and found that the Sea Snake Clan's camp value had risen to 72.

[Sea Snake]: 72 (Very important)

The faction value of 72 should be considered very high b, Mingshu is almost sure that he is the only one who has completed task four so far.

In the mission description, there is no specific expression of the cooperation that needs to be reached with the leader of the sea snake. Maybe the faction value reaches the standard.

Xiuqi put down the coral branch, leaned over and kissed Mingshu.

Mingshu skillfully pulled off his outer robe and hid himself in it: "Hurry up and send me out."

Xia Zhu who woke up early in the morning didn't know anything about what happened last night. Mingshu told him after returning to the residence, and the two discussed whether to move.

The cold sweat on Xia Zhu's forehead was about to fall: "Pearl will still be by your side in the future, these people are simply too crazy..."

If Xiyu and Xiuju hadn't arrived in time, if their fish were still there, they would have been snatched by this group of people.

...Wait, Xiyu and Xiuqi?

Xia Zhu cautiously asked: "Did the two of them meet?"

Ming Shu hesitated and shook his head: "Probably not."

Xiuju didn't see Xiyu, he wasn't sure if Xiyu did, but Xiuju always wore a mask on his face, only showing the lower half of his face.

Only Ming Shu knew that the two of them looked similar.

Xia Zhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good..."

The two cleaned up the area, threw away the sleeping plants, the coral bushes recovered, and took the pearls to find another place to live.

After noon, the players received the long-lost plot update.

【Plot reminder】:

[The arrival of the sea snake leader caught Yinwei by surprise, but he calmed down quickly, and found an opportunity to approach the sea snake leader and show his favor to him, claiming that after becoming the patriarch, he would turn the mermaid clan into a subsidiary of the sea snake clan and make offerings on time Various rare fish and treasures. 】

[Silvertail's step was also successful. The leader of the sea snake just needs an obedient "mermaid patriarch", but he needs Yinwei's guarantee that he will definitely become the patriarch. If he fails to do so, he will kill him without hesitation . 】

[Silver tail, of course, made a promise, and worked hard to complete every campaign task, striving for perfection. 】

[However, when the task was halfway through and the ranking of the candidates' scores was announced for the first time, he found that there was a silver-tailed mermaid far ahead, leaving many black-tailed mermaids behind. 】

[A Silver Tail who is the same as himself can do so well, even with a higher score than himself, Silver Tail can't believe it.Compared with this silver-tailed mermaid, he who tried every means to cheat is like a joke. 】

[And this silver-tailed mermaid is exactly Xiyu who signed up at the same time. Although he is a silver-tailed mermaid, he has the strength not to lose to Heiwei. very. 】

[He is hailed as a miracle. Of course, there are also many voices of doubt. 】

The plot content of this update is very long, and there is actually only one key information.

Xiyu is indeed the protagonist of the story, that's right, the weak appearance that is looked down upon, and the blockbuster strength, the protagonist is standard.

All of a sudden, more players wanted to get close to Xiyu, build a good relationship with the mermaid who was most likely to become the new patriarch, and earn some favorability and faction points.

The follow-up plot came to an abrupt end, and no new missions were released, but they speculated that the next main mission must be related to Xiyu.

Xi Yu also found the black-tailed mermaid who was always wandering around her, trying to say a few words to him.

He didn't deliberately avoid them, and even tried to pretend to be friendly, but these mermaids seemed to be just showing their presence in front of him.

Xi Yu quickly lost interest, he dealt with one black tail with a few sentences, and ran into the other two shortly after leaving.

The two black-tailed mermaids are holding some emerald green aquatic plants in their hands, and there is a hint of expectation in their eyes: "We found these aquatic plants in the North Sea. It is said that they are called Green Lake, and they are a relatively precious medicinal material..."

Xi Yu was puzzled, turned around and swam away.

The two players looked at each other: "He doesn't like it?"

"Is it wrong?" One of the players looked at Xi Yu's back, "Isn't this what he likes?"

The companion was a little frustrated: "I think you misunderstood, how could there be an npc who likes aquatic plants?"

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken..." The speaker thought for a while and suggested, "Why don't we release the news and let others try it."

There are so many types of aquatic plants, it's impossible to find out which one Xiyu likes just by the two of them.

Let other players try it, it's just a way to explore, maybe in the end, if you give too much, the added favorability and faction value will decrease, but it's better than nothing.

So in the next day, Xiyu saw all kinds of aquatic plants, and was brought to him by different mermaids with various reasons.

There is also a bold one who said that he would give him the aquatic plants.

Xiyu's patience was finally exhausted, and there was a haze in his eyes: "Get lost."

[The faction value has been updated, please go to the background to check for yourself]

The player holding the aquatic plants turned on the system and saw that the faction value dropped by 20 points.

He almost collapsed, not daring to vent his breath, and watched Xi Yu leave.



Three days later, the time limit for the second task expired, and the third task was released immediately.

The mermaids need to leave the territory, go to a more dangerous sea area, kill a giant white shark, and cut off the white shark's tail fin to bring it back. The white shark's tail fin is the mission goal.

Every mermaid who participated in the election received a wooden sign as a pass to enter and exit the territory at any time.

After receiving the pass at the scoring place, Ming Shu looked around, trying to find Xi Yu.

There are so many mermaids looking for Xiyu in the past two days, Xia Zhu couldn't help complaining: "They are so courageous, are they some ordinary npc like Xiyu?"

He also heard that Xiyu likes aquatic plants, and he didn't know where the news spread...

A piece of silver-white tail fin flashed from the corner, Ming Shu asked Xia Zhu to go back first and swim alone.

He came to the corner, but did not see a familiar figure.

Ming Shu felt disappointed and was about to turn back when a voice sounded behind him.

"Are you looking for me?"

Ming Shu turned around and saw Xi Yu as expected.

He swam forward happily: "I thought I was wrong."

Xi Yu watched Ming Shu swim over, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "What do you want from me?"

He didn't seem to take the initiative to bring up the task as before, Ming Shu whispered: "The new task is out, have you received the news?"

Xiyu said "hmm": "Got it."

He then fell silent again, and Ming Shu felt uneasy: "Didn't you say... that you are willing to help me?"

Xi Yu stared at Ming Shu steadfastly, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, leading him to hide behind the rock not far away.

Mingshu's chin was pinched hard, and the strength of Xiyu's hand forced him to raise his head.

"That's why you want to be the patriarch?" Xi Yu said in a low voice, sticking her tail aggressively.

Mingshu was at a loss, and didn't understand why Xiyu was suddenly angry.

"I..." He wanted to explain but couldn't open his mouth, so he could only say aggrieved, "It hurts."

Hearing that it hurts, Xi Yu suddenly loosened the hand that was pinching Ming Shu, and stepped back a little.

His eyes drooped slightly, and then he pressed over again, tightly blocked Ming Shu's lips, and kissed eagerly.

The feeling when getting close to him is very similar to that of Xiu Qi, the skin and scales are cold, and the tip of the tongue also has a hint of coolness.

Ming Shu had no power to resist, and when Xi Yu finally backed away, he heard him whispering in her ear: "Want to complete the task? Yes."

"Let me last time."
