A Mermaid Shell was a type of seashell, but it usually hid deep in the sand. Sometimes, one would have to dig dozens of meters deep to find it. While you were digging, the Mermaid Shell would run away.
And when a mermaid sang a song, the Mermaid Shell would stay still and listen to the mermaid's song. It would even move toward the surface of the sand uncontrollably. Therefore, generally speaking, only mermaids and mermen could find them. This was why they were called Mermaid Shells.
Mermaid shells were extremely valuable and could even be exchanged for magic crystals. One magic crystal was enough to support a mermaid's life for several years or even decades. Therefore, it was an extremely precious treasure to every mermaid living in Lloyds.
Meanwhile, the little mermaid was running for her life. She didn't even pick up the Mermaid Shell when she saw it.
What did the mermaid see in the Nightmare Terrors? What kind of horror did she see?
With that in mind, Angor quietly withdrew a small amount of nightmare energy from the mermaid's forehead. Normal Fear spells could not retract the illusion nodes, but the Nightmare Fear spell itself was different.
However, he could only capture a small portion of the illusion to see what the victim was afraid of. Moreover, once he did that, a huge flaw would appear in the entire Nightmare Fear Spell. Any supernatural being would be able to discover that it was an illusion and break through the entire Fear Spell by intercepting the fragments.
Although there was such a flaw, he was facing an ordinary little mermaid. Even if he found the flaw, it would be of no use.
Then, he closed his eyes and examined the portion of nightmare power he had extracted.
"Is that … a shrimp?" In the image, the little mermaid was being chased by a giant shrimp with stone chrysanthemums growing on its body. The shrimp had large, hook-like teeth and looked quite vicious.
Was this the natural enemy of mermaids?
Angor couldn't remember seeing this kind of shrimp. Maybe it was some kind of monster that lived in the deep sea.
About ten minutes later, the little mermaid reached the bottom of the sea in fear. She swam through the dark tunnels, which looked like stairs, and saw a light in the distance.
Angor asked Toby to extinguish the Fluorite, retracted his aura, and slowly moved forward.
He thought that Lloyds would be in front of him, but to his surprise, it was just a small village.
There were about twenty huts, most of which were colorful coral huts, but there were also stone huts. These houses were similar to the buildings of the Gui Tribe, and the doors were all at the top of the room. He had learned that the Gui Tribe had the blood of the merfolk, and it seemed that it was true.
The little mermaid ran to the entrance of the village and cried to the two mermen holding tridents.
The sorrowful and terrified voices attracted many mermaids and mermen from the village to swim out. When they heard what the little mermaid said, they were all shocked. They picked up their weapons and looked out of the village.
But after a long while, he still didn't see his so-called "natural enemy".
The merman with the trident had a puzzled look on his face, but the little mermaid did not seem to be faking it. He thought for a moment and took out a conch shell and placed it between his eyebrows.
All of a sudden, ripples spread out from the conch.
"Probing through the water waves?" Angor watched curiously in the dark. When the ripples reached him, they did not cause any ripples.
The merman looked at the little mermaid for a long time without finding anything. He yelled at the little mermaid and pushed her away.
The little mermaid felt so wronged that the other mermaids around her began to criticize her.
Angor watched the little mermaid arguing with them. She even took out her backpack and pointed at the unsealed hole. "I found a mermaid shell, but I didn't pick it up because of that monster!"
No one believed her. In the end, the crowd dispersed. The little mermaid could only lower her head and weep.
"Poor thing." Brulee clicked its tongue.
"If you're so pitiful, just give it back to her." Angor glanced at Brulee, who quickly stuffed the mermaid shellfish into its mouth as if it didn't want to give anything to anyone.
Angor looked at the village again. There was a merfolk settlement here, and it should not be far from Lloyds.
Still, searching blindly would waste a lot of time. He wondered if he should kidnap another mermaid from the village to lead the way.
As he pondered, snakes began to move under the sand in the distance. No one in the village was paying attention to them.
By the time he noticed it, he already heard someone screaming in fear from afar.
More than a dozen eel snakes charged with electricity suddenly sprang out of the mud and sand, stirring up the entire village. Many of the mermaids who were electrocuted showed varying degrees of blackness and slowness. There were even several mermaids who were electrocuted and unfortunately died.
Everyone rushed to their own residences. Inside the residences, lightning could not pass through, and the power of the eels could not break through the solid walls of the residences.
Several seconds later, all the mermaids scattered and ran into their own houses.
Only the little mermaid did not seem to be a resident of this village. She foolishly wandered around outside the village, wanting to rush into the village to seek shelter. However, when she finally found an opportunity to find a nearby house, the green-tailed mermaid pushed her out and closed the door and windows.
The little mermaid also sensed the coldness of the other mermaids in the village. She bit her lip and ran out of the village.
While running, she was followed by a few eel snakes.
The merfolk in the village were also calculating the same thing. If the little mermaid ran away, she would definitely take the other eels with her. Facts proved that this was indeed the case.
The little mermaid ran as fast as she could. However, she did not notice that none of the eels behind her that were less than ten meters away did not let go of electricity.
These eels were all created by Angor's illusions. As for the real eels, they were all cut into pieces. Some were thrown away, while the rest went into Toby and Brulee's stomachs.
The little mermaid chose a very secluded escape route. They had to go through many holes in the stone walls, some of which were obviously man-made, while others were naturally formed. All of the paths were designed in a strange way. Without the little mermaid's guidance, Angor would never have found them.
After about an hour, the little mermaid emerged from a pitch-black hole, and a large expanse of colorful light appeared in front of her.
His eyes glowed when he looked at the source of the light. It was an enormous underwater city!
Through the nearby darkness, he looked into the distance, at the endless city buildings filled with beautiful colors, which made them seem even more colorful.
Even though he had seen a Duon city before, he still had to admit that the craftsmen in this city were amazing.
"That's Lloyds!" Brulee exclaimed in excitement. "Do you see the water barrier at the center of the city? That's the waterless zone, where we need to go. The Ashen Traders are stationed there. "
Lloyds was so big that Angor could not see the end of it. Of course, it could also be that the distant seawater was too dark, which magnified the visual difference.
Still, he could see as many places as he could in most cities.
The buildings here were built in the style of an ocean fantasy. There were also some floating coral buildings floating above the city that shined brightly.
Mermaids and mermaids of different colors were also swimming around the city. There were even giant whales playing with them.
Compared to the mermaid world described in fairy tales, this place was even more dreamy.
With that in mind, he slowly swam toward Lloyds. At the entrance of Lloyds, he saw the little mermaid trying her best to explain to the guards. The end result was the same as what happened in the village. No one believed her, and she was chased away.
The little mermaid who was depressed once again swam along the edge of Lloyds Canyon. When she reached a place where there was no one around, she suddenly saw an ink-colored crystal sitting quietly in the sand.
Her eyes lit up and she quickly rushed to the crystal. "Is this … a magic crystal?!"
On the other side, Angor had already entered Lloyds.
"Why did you give her a magic crystal?" Brulee asked curiously.
"Guide fee." Angor gave a simple answer. However, he was actually thinking about the scale of "karma" in his mind. He had his own way of judging. The little mermaid's hostility toward him came from her nature. Angor had already paid her back for the threat and the loss of the Mermaid Shell. In terms of leading the way, he was the one who started it, so he needed to give something in return. The magic crystal was his reward.
Angor didn't want to cause any trouble, so he hid his presence as soon as he entered Lloyds. He didn't swim above the city either.
No one noticed him on his way, which allowed him to reach the water barrier at the center of the city.
Angor thought he could go through the barrier just like the Duons did. However, this was not the case. When he came into contact with the membrane, the membrane felt like a balloon and could not be penetrated.
"The barrier isn't that strong, but don't even think about breaking it. There are many supernaturals in Lloyds. If you do, the water around the barrier will pour in, and the supernaturals inside will retaliate. " Brulee paused. "There are wizards in there as well. You'll offend them if you do that."
"The only way to get in is through the front gate." Brulee pointed at a main road in the distance. There was a black dot at the end of the road, which was the entrance to the waterless area.
However, Eureka didn't seem to have prepared anything that would allow him to enter the waterless zone without a permit.
