C2721 For What Reason(2)
"If it is possible, after you answer our question, we will let you leave this outer sea and return to the safe inner sea. As long as you continue to live in the sea and no longer harm others, we promise not to interfere in your matters, let alone kill you. What do you think?"
He looked at the Merman and asked.
It was very obvious that the merman leader was tempted. It really wanted to live! It had been staring intently at Yu Yien, who had made this suggestion. Its eyes were filled with excitement. After careful consideration, it slowly nodded its head. Then, it immediately looked at its body, and there seemed to be no special reaction from its body. It seemed... The parasitic Gu in its body did not pay attention to its answer, which made the Merman leader very excited! He seemed to have seen the hope of survival.
"I can... try!"
The Merman nodded, and finally decided to give it a try. Who didn't want to live? The last chance to survive, it wanted to give it a try.
"Alright, Faang Cheng, ask away!"
Yu Yien turned around and nodded at Faang Cheng. Faang Cheng also nodded at Yu Yien after receiving the signal.
"Is the Yun Family's ancestral mansion in this sea?"
Faang Cheng immediately asked the question he wanted to know the most!
The Merman leader was silent for a moment. He was probably struggling with his own thoughts. After all, every time he answered a question, it was actually a test, a test to see if the Gu in its body had any reaction to his actions, or if it would directly devour him and kill him!
After a moment, the merman blinked his eyes.
Faang Cheng got the answer he wanted. The corner of his mouth raised slightly as he nodded slightly. After the merman finished answering the question, he did not feel any uncomfortable feeling in his body. Finally, he relaxed and heaved a long sigh of relief. He had finally passed the first stage.
"You guys are guarding this region of the ocean. Did you guys agree with the Yun Family?"
Faang Cheng asked again.
This time, the Merman did not hesitate too much and blinked his eyes.
"As expected!"
Yu Yien nodded his head. After confirming this, everyone understood how important the Yun family's ancestral house was to the Yun family. They would actually make an agreement with so many Mermans, telling them to use their lives to protect this region of the sea!
"That means, the person you said to place the devil in your bodies and place the curse on you is also a member of the Yun family!"
Faang Cheng continued to ask.
The Merman blinked its eyes once again.
"I didn't expect the members of the Yun Family to have such abilities. I really underestimated them previously!"
Yuan Yue could not help but mock and ridicule from the side. The person who was able to plant this kind of Gu was indeed a capable person. At the very least, he must be a very powerful person in the Wu Gu Realm!
"Then..."
Faang Cheng raised his head and looked at the merman as he asked another question.
"Why is the Yun Family so nervous about this place?! Are they nervous about their ancestral mansion... Is it related to the Realm Lord of the Myriad God Realm? Or should I say... is it related to some big secret of the Myriad God Realm?"
Finally, Faang Cheng asked the most important question!
Previously, they had suspected that the reason why the Yun Family's ancestral mansion was so hidden and not wanted to be seen by others was because there might be some kind of secret here! Just like the old gatekeeper they found at the Yun family's residence. A lot of people said that there was a clue as to how to get to the Realm Lord's Main Hall in the Yun family's ancestral home, and that there was really someone who had found a way to the Realm Lord's Main Hall in the Yun family's ancestral house, and that person had entered the Realm Lord's Main Hall and been beheaded. But this also proved that there really was a clue as to how to get to the Realm Lord's Main Hall in the Yun family's ancestral home!
This was the most important thing Faang Cheng wanted to know right now.
Before the death of the previous Sector Lord, he mentioned that there was a secret to leave the Myriad God World from the main hall. Thus, other than asking for an explanation from the Yun Family, the most important thing for Faang Cheng and the others to do was to obtain clues on how to get to the main hall of the Sector Lord! Their ultimate goal was to leave the Myriad God World!
Hearing this question, the Merman leader was slightly stunned. This was because the question that Faang Cheng asked was already a very important question! He did not know the complete picture, but he vaguely knew that the reason the Yun Family's ancestral mansion was so mysterious was because the Realm Lord had indeed left something behind here, but he did not know what exactly it was!
However, the merman could still confirm that the Yun family's ancestral mansion was indeed related to the Realm Master! Thus... It hesitated for a moment before blinking its eyes!
After Faang Cheng received an accurate answer, his mood improved a lot, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. Having obtained this answer, it proved that they did not come here in vain. Even though they did not know where the Yun Family's ancestral mansion was, it was only a matter of time before they found it. They could afford to waste their time!
However, at this moment, the Merman leader in front of them suddenly stared blankly. Its body stiffened, and its eyes turned white. Soon after... it fell straight into the sea!
"Damn it, the Gu bug is counterattacking!"
Yuan Yue immediately shouted.
Seeing the Merman's reaction and hearing Yuan Yue's words, Faang Cheng did not have the time to think too much about it as he directly stepped forward and dived into the sea. After a moment, he scooped up the Merman leader from the ocean. At this moment, the Merman's entire body was twitching, and it was foaming at the mouth. It seemed to be on the verge of death!
"Catch!"
Faang Cheng was able to effortlessly lift the Merman and throw it towards the deck of the large ship. Lee Zhaowen casually grabbed the back of the Merman's neck and placed it on the deck! At this moment, the Merman was already bleeding from all seven orifices of its head, its face was ashen, and its lips were black. It was on the verge of death!
"Should I save it?"
Lee Zhaowen even turned his head and looked at Faang Cheng, who just came out of the water.
"No need to rush!"
Faang Cheng looked at the Merman that was gradually losing its breath, and said with a calm expression!
"Hmm? If you don't want to save it, why waste so much effort to bring it out of the sea? Isn't it unnecessary?"
Lee Zhaowen looked at Faang Cheng with a strange expression!
"If I say you're stupid, then you're actually very smart! But if I say you're smart, then sometimes you're so stupid! Didn't you just say that those Gu worms can only be removed from the host's body after the host dies! Then when it dies, wouldn't it be able to completely remove the Gu worms and save it? Wouldn't that mean that you can communicate with us normally?"
Xiao Qi understood what Faang Cheng meant!
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Lee Zhaowen suddenly realized in embarrassment!
After that, no one said anything else. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Merman as they watched it struggle in pain, and then... it breathed its last!
Zhou Zhiqing, who could not bear to see this situation, could not help but turn her head. Little Si'er stepped forward and put a hand on Zhou Zhiqing's shoulder, while the other gently stroked her hair. She did not say anything, but the meaning of comfort was obvious.
