Chapter 154: Seduction, Numinous Treasure (1)
While they were talking, the fog in the illusory world dissipated a little.
Su Mu could vaguely see a slim female mermaid floating in the air, about 20 meters away from him, but he couldn’t see her face clearly.
“Mermaid Empress? I just killed some mermen, are you here for revenge?”
Su Mu coldly stared at that figure.
Hearing this, the mermaid who called herself the empress hurriedly said,
“Brother Mu has misunderstood!”
“The merfolk race can be divided into many different bloodlines. Those mermen you killed just now were from the black stone lineage, they are enemies with our spiritual pearl lineage.”
“You killed them, and I’m grateful. Why would I seek revenge from you?”
Hearing this, Su Mu understood.
Just like the human race, mermen were also divided into different bloodlines and were not one.
There was a certain difference in appearance and personality.
That was why there were different versions of the merman legend.
..
“Spiritual Pearl lineage, right? Why are you looking for me?”
Although he knew that this merman was most likely not an enemy, Su Mu still did not give her a good look.
No one liked to be woken up when they were asleep.
This was especially true for Su Mu.
“Brother Mu, don’t be angry. This matter can’t be explained in one or two sentences. Can we talk underwater?”
The mermaid empress’s voice was gentle and gentle, unconsciously causing Su Mu’s anger to subside a bit.
If this was the Origin World, Su Mu would most likely not care about such a thing.
However, this was a dungeon world. If he didn’t go, he might miss some important information.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Su Mu still agreed.
“Alright, wait for me underwater. I’ll be right there.”
After saying that, Su Mu’s body was full of killing intent, instantly tearing apart this illusionary world, not giving the mermaid queen any time to speak.
Once the illusion was broken, Su Mu flipped over and sat up on the bed.
After getting up, he quickly walked to the deck and stuck his head out to look outside.
Under the cold moonlight, a seductive figure appeared on the surface of the sea.
“Brother Mu, I’m here. Please have a chat in the sea!”
The upper body of this mermaid empress was extremely beautiful. Under the moonlight, she looked very moving and had a pure and flawless temperament.
It made people have a good impression of him.
There were ten merfolk guards beside her.
Whether male or female, they all had outstanding looks, completely different from the mermen that Su Mu had killed earlier.
This time, Su Mu could confirm that they were indeed not of the same race.
..
Su Mu didn’t think too much and jumped into the sea.
“Brother Mu, please follow me.”
The Mermaid Empress gave Su Mu a sweet smile and led the way.
These mermen were basically all First Rated Warriors, and only the Empress was in the Xiantian Realm.
With such strength, he couldn’t pose a threat to Su Mu.
He was not afraid at all, following these mermen all the way to the depths of the sea.
Fortunately, after absorbing the demonic power of the giant underwater monster, Su Mu’s affinity with the sea water had greatly increased.
He could easily adapt to the extremely deep seabed, and it was no different from being on land.
..
He didn’t know how many meters he had dived, but the surrounding light was getting lesser and lesser. It was so dark that he couldn’t even see his fingers.
Who would have thought that after entering an underwater cave, Su Mu’s eyes instantly lit up.
This was a whole other world in the bottom of the sea!
It was actually a mystic realm with abundant spiritual power, surrounded by countless gems and pearls that emitted light.
Like stars, they lit up the entire mystic realm.
“Brother Mu, please.”
After entering the secret realm, the mermaid empress naturally held Su Mu’s arm and led him into the secret realm.
Su Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not do anything else.
Along the way, the two sides exchanged a few words.
From their conversation, Su Mu learned that this mermaid empress of the spirit pearl lineage was called Ming Yue.
As for who called him over, Su Mu had already guessed a thing or two.
As expected, not long after entering the mystic realm, Mermaid Empress Ming Yue’s face showed sadness and pain.
She hugged Su Mu’s thick arm and cried.
“Brother Mu, look how beautiful this place is!”
“The Spiritual Pearl lineage has been living here for hundreds of years and has long taken root here.”
“But, the Blackstone Clan discovered this place several years ago, and wanted to snatch it from our hands!”
“Our spirit pearl lineage has always been a peace-loving one, and our strength is inferior to that of the blackstone lineage.”
“In the past two years, there have been heavy casualties!”
“Today, I saw Master Guru display his might at the bottom of the sea. Even the guard captain of the Blackstone clan was beaten into fleeing!”
“Brother Mu’s strength is so shocking!”
“I wonder if you can help us repel the enemy?”
“After the matter is done, I will definitely reward you heavily!”
..
At the same time Ming Yue spoke, many female mermaids from the spirit pearl branch surrounded Su Mu, their breasts half exposed as they looked at him with bitter expressions.
Her teary eyes made people feel pity for her and wanted to agree immediately.
However, Su Mu was unmoved, his heart was as hard as stone.
He pulled his hand out of Ming Yue’s embrace and asked calmly,”
“Must have a heavy reward? What big reward? Show it to me.”
Even if he was executing a mission in the game, he still had to see what the reward was.
Just by opening his mouth and exposing his chest, he wanted Su Mu to do something?
How could he be fooled by a mere seduction?
To be more precise, it wasn’t even a ” chest exposed “, but ” chest half exposed “.
If he really revealed everything, Su Mu might have agreed to it directly.
* Cough cough * Is it possible to do so?
After all, half human and half fish could not do much.
..
“This…”
Su Mu’s direct words stunned the mermaid empress Ming Yue.
After gritting her teeth, she said to the other party,
“Brother Mu, wait a moment. I’ll be right back.”
With that, Mingyue swam into the depths of the mystic realm.
After she left, Su Mu didn’t stay idle and looked around.
This mystic realm was indeed a good place.
It was safe, hidden, and full of spiritual energy.
It was a blessed land at the bottom of the sea.
However, the strength of the Spirit Pearl Clan was not much. Other than Ming Yue, who was the Mermaid Empress, he actually did not see a second existence above the Postnatal Realm.
..
After a while, Ming Yue returned.
She carefully took out a box and opened it to reveal the items inside.
There was a fist-sized translucent pearl in the box. It emitted a faint spiritual energy, and the smell of it made one feel refreshed.
As the light flowed in all directions, it caused one’s mind to ripple.
Just from its appearance, it could be seen that this item was definitely a rare treasure!
Ming Yue pointed at the box and said to Su Mu:
“This is the treasure of our Spiritual Pearl lineage, the Elemental Spiritual Pearl!”
“Carrying it with you can cleanse your body and soul, greatly increasing your cultivation speed!”
“If it is placed in one place for a long time, it can gradually transform this place into a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy!”
Su Mu’s horizons were not low, he could tell at a glance that this was indeed a good treasure.
“I’ve seen it before. It’s indeed a treasure. But I think you definitely won’t give it to me before it’s done. Shouldn’t you pay a deposit?”
“You can’t just ask me to fight to the death with the Blackstone Clan’s merfolk for nothing, right?”
“You said it earlier as well. The Blackstone Clan’s strength is formidable.”
“This battle is so dangerous!”
..
Hearing Su Mu’s words, Ming Yue’s face stiffened, obviously not expecting this fourteen year old youth to be so difficult to deal with.
Weren’t those scholars in the books all possessed by X worms and were willing to fight to the death for the female banshees they had just met?
Why was it so difficult for her?
Seeing Ming Yue standing there in a daze, Su Mu’s eyes narrowed and a dangerous voice appeared on his face.
“From the looks of it, you didn’t prepare a deposit for me! Could it be that he’s playing around…”
“Wait! There’s a deposit, there’s a deposit!”
Seeing that Su Mu’s expression wasn’t right, Ming Yue quickly interrupted him and gave a look to a guard beside him.
The merman understood and immediately left and returned.
The only difference was that he came back with a box full of gems.
Ming Yue opened the box and handed it to Su Mu with both hands.
“Brother Mu, these are all precious spiritual items in the sea. I wonder if they can be used as a deposit?”
Su Mu swept his gaze over.
There were some precious spirit herbs unique to the seabed in the box, such as the Water Breath Grass.
There were also some rare gems.
Although the box was not big, it was worth a lot!
It was qualified enough to be used as a deposit.
With a wave of his sleeve, he used Universe Creator, which he had just learned, to keep the small box.
“Alright, I’ll take the deposit. Tell me about the Blackstone lineage.”
Su Mu was a very honest person when doing business.
Since he had received the deposit, he could do his job properly.
Hearing this, Ming Yue and her clansmen let out a long sigh of relief and began to explain the situation of the Blackstone lineage.
“The blackstone lineage’s mermen are different from our spiritual pearl lineage, they are born to be taller, more ferocious, and more battle-loving! They liked to invade other merman tribes.”
“The most terrifying thing is that the leader of the Blackstone branch has become a believer of the giant underwater monster, Fierce!”
“Many of the Blackstone Mermen have obtained power from the underwater monster, becoming stronger and more ferocious.”
“Our Spiritual Pearl lineage loves peace and is not good at dealing with others…”
“Wait a minute, how much do you know about that giant underwater monster? Can you elaborate?”
Hearing this, Su Mu interrupted Ming Yue.
Compared to the blackstone mermen, he was more interested in the underwater monster.
This giant demon was most likely an extremely crucial existence in this dungeon world.
It was very important to understand its situation!
..
Hearing this, Mermaid Empress Ming Yue pursed her lips and began to answer Su Mu’s question.
