There was no other source of light in the pitch-black seabed. Only the Tree of Life emitted a dim blue light.
This scene looked romantic and beautiful, but it brought about an endless crisis for the Sea Elves.
The glowing Tree of Life was like a live target in the seabed. Especially after it lost the protection of the protective formation, it became the target of the sea beasts' greed.
Although they didn't have high intelligence, they clearly knew that the Tree of Life was the best tonic for them.
And now, the Tree of Life was declining.
Once it completely lost its defensive power, it would be time for the sea beasts to swarm it and devour it.
Their malice and greed couldn't be ignored even in the dim light.
The Sea Elves who were under the Tree of Life's protection could only struggle at death's door in the face of the sea beasts' encirclement.
They were so weak that they couldn't even go out to look for food.
"Your Majesty, if this continues, we may all die here..."
This was a Sea Elf girl with a dark green fishtail. She looked at the woman beside her and said with a sorrowful gaze.
The woman had blue hair and blue eyes. Her fishtail was also a pure ocean blue. She was Xiao Haige's mother, and the current queen of the Sea Elves — Heidi.
She looked at the Tree of Life's branches and leaves. As a member of the royal family, she had a natural connection with the Tree of Life.
Therefore, she could also feel that the Tree of Life's aura was rapidly fading away.
"Cecilia, what do you think we can do now?" Queen Heidi said faintly. Her voice was filled with sorrow and despair.
Her lover had already died in the stomach of a sea beast, the whereabouts of her only child were unknown, and the clansmen she led had all died in the sea beast's attacks...
Now, even the Tree of Life, the only thing that could protect them, was about to leave them.
She had also persevered for so long... and was actually very tired.
Ever since a sudden disaster swept through the entire Esnow Star a hundred years ago, the originally peaceful ocean was also affected, or rather, affected even more deeply.
All kinds of sea beasts that had never been seen before suddenly appeared in the ocean.
They were enormous in number and possessed astonishing destructive power. They occupied the entire seabed almost as soon as they appeared, and displayed extremely strong aggressiveness toward the natives.
They killed and hunted each other. They also fed on the natives of Eshe Star.
The land of the Ocean Elves was the first to bear the brunt of the attacks because of the existence of the Tree of Life. Even if they tried their best to defend, they wouldn't be able to defeat so many sea monsters.
Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't.
This was because once they lost the Tree of Life, the Ocean Elves would be like rootless duckweed. They would lose their strength. Moreover, if they wanted to escape safely from the encirclement of tens of thousands of sea monsters?
That was simply impossible.
Queen Heidi had organized a team in an attempt to escape.
However, the Sea Elf Clan had paid a huge price to cover the escape of their clansmen. In the end, the thousands of mermaids and mermen had lost their life signals one after another.
They were all sacrificed, and not a single one was spared.
The Ocean Elf leading the team this time was Queen Heidi's lover.
Since then, Queen Heidi had never attempted to flee again.
They were like turtles in a jar, trapped in the ocean where the Sea Elves had once roamed.
If he didn't run, he might be able to survive for a while.
If they ran away, they would end up like the thousands of clansmen.
She led the Sea Elf Clan and bitterly held on for a few decades.
To the long-lived Elves, a few decades was actually not a long time. However, Queen Heidi felt like tens of thousands of years had passed, and every day felt like a year.
In the end, it was ten years ago that the clan's protective array completely shattered, and the seawater flooded the Sea Elf Clan's residence.
Queen Heidi would never forget that day.
The sea monsters charged into the clan's land and launched a one-sided massacre of the Sea Elf Clan.
Although the Sea Elves tried to resist, there were simply too many sea monsters! Just as Queen Heidi was about to give up in despair, the Tree of Life once again protected them.
As long as they hid within the Tree of Life's protective circle, the sea monsters wouldn't dare to invade.
Another ten years passed like this.
Today, the Tree of Life finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"At least Hai Ge escaped …" Queen Heidi muttered.
Hai Ge was the product of her and her lover. She had sealed him for several decades, and only allowed him to be born into this world a few years ago.
However, she didn't protect him well …
How could a young child like him survive the pursuit of the sea beasts? However, in her senses, that child was indeed still alive.
Seeing the Queen completely lose her will to fight, Seisia only felt heartache and despair.
She looked up at the tree crown above her, and through the gradually thinning branches and leaves, she suddenly recalled that black-haired, black-eyed youth.
He was a strange Sea Elf.
No one had ever seen a black-haired, black-eyed Sea Elf. In ancient times, that was the color of the hair and eyes of the legendary demons.
However, at this time, every Sea Elf was precious. Even if he looked strange, everyone accepted him.
Although no one had seen him before, it was as if he had suddenly appeared on the Tree of Life, but he didn't look like a newly born Sea Elf.
The youth said he was called Irritable Little Bunny, which was also a strange name.
After the youth appeared, a few new mermaids appeared on the Tree of Life one after another.
In the end, Queen Heidi speculated that these were new lives that the Tree of Life gave birth to after sensing the withering of the Sea Elf Clan.
However, she still felt that these new mermaids were very strange.
However, Seisia admired and envied them, because they were full of vitality and vitality that she didn't have.
Even in this dark abyss of despair, they were so optimistic, as if nothing could defeat them.
In the end, they decided to go to land to transport reinforcements.
Seisia had tried to stop them, but it was useless.
In the end, they really left.
After leaving, they never returned.
One after another, Queen Heidi sensed that they had disappeared, except for that youth called Irritable Little Bunny.
Perhaps he had encountered some fortuitous encounter?
Had the current him reached the land?
If they really found land as he had planned, Cecilia hoped that …
He didn't have to come back.
Live on the land, with her share.
A sparkling teardrop seeped out from the corner of the girl's eye. Like a round pearl, it floated up and finally disappeared, blending into the sea.
"Ah, Sister Seisia, why are you crying?"
The youth's voice suddenly rang in her ears. Seisia, who was immersed in her own emotions, couldn't help but be stunned.
She turned her head in a daze and saw that not far away, the black-haired, black-eyed, blue-tailed mermaid youth had appeared under the Tree of Life at some point and was swimming toward her.
"Why are you …"
Seisia couldn't help but rub her eyes, feeling that she might be hallucinating.
Otherwise, why would Irritable Little Bunny appear here!
When did he come back!
How did he come back!
Seisia's sea was in a mess, and Irritable Little Bunny had already looked at Queen Heidi and said happily, "Queen, Queen, I found Her Highness Xiao Haige!"
Queen Heidi also stared at him in a daze.
The other mermaids who had discovered the situation also looked at the youth who appeared out of thin air in shock.
All the Sea Elves were dumbfounded.
Irritable Little Bunny scratched his head.
Yes, these Sea Elf NPCs still didn't know that he could revive.
His revival point was inside the Tree of Life, and there was a passage below that could directly lead to the outside of the Tree of Life's protection area. When he chose the revival point previously, he wasn't discovered by these NPCs.
But today, he came back with a mission in mind!
The 11-person team observed from the sky for a while and finally came to a decision.
As they were almost certain of the location of the Sea Elves' territory, and Irritable Little Bunny's level was too low, they might as well let him die back to his tribe and leave the concealment equipment to the 10-person team.
They would think of a way to pass through the sea monsters and find this place through the communication device.
As for Irritable Little Bunny who came back first, because he already had enough Reputation to use the faction storage, he could first exchange for some supplies to allow the Sea Elves to catch a breather.
Also, he could use the team's live chat channel to provide some information for them.
If they could get the help of the Sea Elf NPCs, then at least they wouldn't have to explore in the dark and could make some plans in advance. Most importantly —
They didn't have to wait for Little Bunny's anti-addiction anymore!
"I have found land and met His Majesty the Emperor of the Roland Empire!"
The young man looked at Heidi and said, "Xiao Haige was saved by him and is now living in the Roland Palace. He is very willing to help us."
"I came back this time with the reinforcements sent by His Majesty the Roland Empire!"
As the young man spoke, he thought of something and took out a conch shell from his backpack. "His Highness Haige asked me to give this to you."
Queen Heidi looked at him with suspicion and distrust. However, her son's voice sounded from the conch shell.
"Queen Mother, my brothers and sisters will save you! They are super powerful! "
At the end, the child whispered, "Queen Mother, I miss you so much, can you hear me …"
Queen Heidi couldn't stop her tears from falling.
