[Shrieking Naga Warrior] (Elite, Humanoid)
Level: 77
HP: 77000
Defense: 400
Just like the Sirens, the Nagas had the skill {Shrieking Sound Wave} as well. However, they were all Warrior-type monsters. They had no weakness in melee combat.
Zhang Yang slowly advanced towards the center of the palace. Along the way, the Nagas fell one after another under Zhang Yang's sword.
Normally, Humanoid monsters would drop cloth. However, Nagas were different. They did not drop cloth but clam shells. Zhang Yang had obtained a lot of little pearls.
Half an hour later, he arrived at the huge stone statue in the middle of the palace. He finally saw the full appearance of the statue. At the bottom of the statue was a huge fountain. Although the palace had been abandoned, the fountain was still functioning. Streams of clear water were gushing out continuously. The sound of flowing water was very pleasing to the ear.
Splash!
A young woman broke through the water from the fountain. Her hair was black and glossy, gently sticking to her snow-white body. Her skin was like a fine jade, smooth and delicate. Her body was only covered with two pieces of shell in front of her chest, protecting her two towering peaks.
[Meryl] (Normal, Humanoid)
Level: 70
HP: 7,000
Defense: 70
She was lying on the side of the fountain. Her pretty face was resting on her arms. She seemed to be thinking about something.
Around the fountain, there were many female Nagas standing guard. They were probably guarding against Meryl's escape. Every one of them was on high alert. They kept looking around cautiously.
In order to save a life, one must kill first!
Zhang Yang patted Whitey and rushed out. He began to clear the monsters one by one. Because the skill {Shrieking Sound Wave} was a little annoying, Zhang Yang's efficiency was not very high. He had to spend almost an hour to clear out all the monsters in the surroundings.
If he only opens up a gap, he would definitely alert all the monsters in the surroundings when he rescues the NPC. By then, Zhang Yang would have to face hundreds of monsters alone. He would have to wait until he reaches Level 80 and has a full set of Violet-Platinum equipment.
In his previous life, Zhang Yang had suffered a few losses like this. After that, he learned his lesson. He knew that he should not be greedy. The more he tries to save, the more time it takes!
Pa!
After circling around the fountain, the last Naga fell under Zhang Yang's sword and dropped a Black-Steel leather boots. Zhang Yang could not help but stare at the Black-Steel boots. Black-Steel equipment, it had been a long time since he last saw one!
After clearing all the monsters, it was finally time to rescue the NPC!
Zhang Yang rode Whitey to the side of the fountain. Meryl was taking a nap by the side of the fountain. However, she was awoken by the heavy footsteps of Whitey. She was a little dazed. She raised her head and looked around with her pair of clear, black and white eyes.
When she saw Zhang Yang and the white bear that he was sitting on, Meryl showed a very obvious expression of panic. She opened her mouth and screamed, "Argh ---".
Fortunately, the surrounding monsters had all been cleared. Otherwise, they would have definitely surrounded them after hearing her roar!
Zhang Yang quickly said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad guy! I was sent by your father to save you! "
It seemed like Meryl did not believe Zhang Yang at all. She was still letting out ear-piercing screams.
Was he going to pick up this beauty and run away without a care for anything else? Zhang Yang took a few steps forward, and Meryl was so scared that she quickly swam to the middle of the fountain.
Pa!
A huge fish tail slapped the surface of the water. The fish scales were pink, and the curves were delicate. It was a beautiful sight!
Zhang Yang was stunned, because the fish tail was attached to Meryl's body!
Meryl finally revealed her full appearance in front of Zhang Yang. Her upper body was that of a beautiful human woman, and below her navel was a pink fish body!
--- a mermaid!
Meryl was actually a mermaid!
Zhang Yang was a little confused. What is going on? Where is a living person?
Meryl looked at Zhang Yang in fear and said, "Who are you? Where are the guards outside? What did you do to them? "
... Could it be that Meryl was not Krishan's daughter? That's right, Meryl was obviously a mermaid. She should be closer to the Nagas and Lobstermen.
Of course, it was also possible that Meryl's mother was a mermaid, and her father was a human. She was a mixed blood.
"My name is Zhan Yu, an adventurer from White Jade Castle. When I was passing by the Emerald Island, I was asked by your father, Krishan, to look for you!" Zhang Yang said. As for the Naga guards, he did not mention them at all. Obviously, Meryl was related to the Aquatics.
Meryl looked at Zhang Yang and closed her eyes. After a while, she said, "I can feel that you are telling the truth! Zhan Yu, I don't want to go back to that home. Please leave! "
If he could not bring Meryl back to see Krishan, Zhang Yang would not be able to complete the quest, and he would not be able to get the third piece of the key fragment!
Zhang Yang said, "Miss Meryl, can you tell me why you don't want to go back home?"
Meryl hesitated for a while and said, "Alright, you should be a warrior with integrity. Let me tell you a story!"
She swam back to the side of the fountain and laid down on the edge of the fountain. She supported her chin with both of her hands, and her pink fish tail slapped the white jade wall gently.
"My mother, Sinia, was the princess of the Mermaid Tribe, and also the most beautiful woman in the Mermaid Tribe! 17 years ago, because she was playful, she ran to the lake during a storm and was blown to this island by the waves, and she was severely injured! At that time, Krishan appeared, and he saved my mother! "
Wasn't this just like a fairy tale? The Mermaid Princess was saved by a human prince, and then a touching love story was written. However, Krishan was not a prince.
The water droplets on Meryl's body were drying up, and under Zhang Yang's eyes, the fish tail turned into a pair of snow-white, slender legs. Of course, the most important part was still covered by a piece of shell.
She squatted on the edge of the fountain, hugging her knees with both of her hands, and continued, "We Mermaids have a rule. If we are saved by someone, we must agree to a request of the other party. And Krishan's request was to let my mother marry him! But at that time, not only did my mother already have someone she liked, she also had me in her stomach! "
There was a twist in the story, the prince was no longer a prince, but a tiger king who snatched the bride away!
"My mother begged Krishan, asking him to ask for something else instead, but Krishan refused to do so! We Mermaids are the most trustworthy race, so my mother had no choice but to marry Krishan! "
Meryl said with a heavy sense of sadness.
Krishan had instantly turned into a villain, it seemed that there was no need to complete the quest to get the [Fragment of the Key] from him. All they had to do was to wait for the relationship between both parties to turn hostile, and directly kill him to pick up the [Fragment of the Key]!
"Zhan Yu, tell me, is it right or wrong to keep one's promise? My mother kept her promise, but in the end, she was sad all the time, washing her face with tears every day, and passed away at a young age! "Meryl opened her beautiful eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "Keeping your promise depends on who you are dealing with! To a good person, of course, you have to keep your promise, but to a bad person, keeping your promise is hurting yourself! "
Meryl pulled Zhang Yang's hand and said, "So, please, don't bring me back! Krishan is not my father, he is the murderer of my mother! He locked my mother in the manor every day, never letting her out, because he was worried that my mother would run away and leave! "
"After my mother passed away, he set his sights on me, and wanted to marry me as his wife! I had no choice but to run away in the middle of the night, and contacted the Mermaids nearby, asking them to look for my real father, and ask him to bring me back! "
With that, everything made sense. However, Zhang Yang asked, "If you were willing to go with the Mermaids, then why did you leave behind the pearls on your necklace?"
Meryl shook her head and said, "Those were not left by me, they should be left by the guards that Krishan sent to me! He followed us all the way to the entrance of the cave, and that was when Stallo discovered his tracks, and imprisoned him. However, I did not expect that he would still leave behind some clues, and lead you here! "
"Adventurer, you have done well, you have helped me find my daughter! Here, take this, this is your reward! " Krishan took out a money pouch and threw it to Zhang Yang, "Now, you can leave!"
Pak! The money pouch was bulging, and there were about 100 gold coins in it.
'Ding! You have completed the quest: The Missing Daughter, obtained 1,000,000 experience points! '
"Warrior, please don't go!" When Meryl saw Krishan, her beautiful face turned pale, and she said to Zhang Yang in a panic, "Protect me until my father comes to take me away! Righteous and brave adventurer, please lend me your hand! "
'Ding! Meryl has a quest for you: Buy Time, will you accept? '
Accept.
[Buy Time] (Difficulty Level: A)
Quest Description: Buy enough time, until the Mermaid Prince Goth comes to help! Hint: There is a secret passage in the statue of the fountain, there are many traps in there, it should be very useful!
Progress: Ensure that Meryl is not captured by Krishan within 30 minutes 0/1
After reading the quest description, Zhang Yang immediately said, "Meryl, quickly go to the statue in the middle of the fountain, and see if there is any secret passage!"
"Okay!" Meryl obediently jumped into the fountain, drew a line in the water and swam to the statue in the middle of the fountain, and began to search for the passage.
Krishan was enraged, and he said, "Adventurer, are you trying to go against me?"
Zhang Yang pulled out the Dark Enigmatic Sword and said, "You are a pervert who forced other people to marry their wives, not only did you harm their mothers, you even took their daughters! A villain like you does not deserve to live in this world anymore! "
"Bastard, how dare you insult the great Krishan, kill him!" Krishan waved his hand, and the 5 elite guards immediately rushed towards Zhang Yang. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
