Li Changgong looked at Xuanwu, and Suzaku said to him: "Xuanwu can understand the language of underwater creatures."

Xuanwu said happily: "There is civilization in this place. As long as there is civilization, we can communicate. Maybe we can apologize and pay a certain price in exchange for a chance to survive."

Li Changgong and Zhuque felt relieved after hearing this, but they were at the mercy of others and it was inevitable that they would be nervous.

After a while, they suddenly heard the sound of a huge horn, and the surrounding coral reefs shook violently.

A dark green car was speeding across the water in the distance.

That’s right, a car, an underwater car pulled by eight giant seahorses.

Lying on the side of the car was a very tall, ruddy, and powerful middle-aged mermaid.

He was wearing clothes woven from special materials and beautiful scales, and had a golden trident at his hand.

"It seems that this person should be the king of the underwater world."

Li Changgong thought secretly in his heart.

After the king of the seabed arrived, he got off the seahorse carriage and stepped onto a natural throne formed by colorful coral reefs in front of the square.

He held a golden trident in his hand, and his thick long hair and beard fluttered in the water like seaweed.

"Did these people come from the land?"

He asked Prince Festival and others in front of him.

Wang Ziji's face was full of excitement, because it was rare for him to meet someone diving into the deep sea from land.

Although he had seen some submarines of land people in the Qianhai area in the past, those guys were too weak. He just tried to take those people into the deep sea with good intentions, but those guys soon died because they could not withstand the environment on the seabed.

This is indeed the first time I have seen a human being who can transform into a deep-sea monster.

"Father, they are indeed land people. Even though this guy has turned into a big turtle, he can't fool my eyes. There are many land people hiding in his stomach!"

Wang Ziji excitedly pointed his hands at the Xuanwu that was tied up like a rice dumpling.

General Yu, who always had a droopy face as if he had never woken up, swam over. Unlike other mermaids, his lower body was made up of eight octopus legs.

"Your Majesty, I think these guys came here with bad intentions!"

"After they arrived in the Deep Blue Kingdom, the first thing they did was to set their sights on our great Sun Tree. They wanted to steal the fruit from it."

"But luckily I'm here!"

He proudly placed a paw on his chest with a smug smile on his face.

"The incomparably brave General Yu of the Deep Blue Kingdom stopped them in time and prevented the Sun Tree from being destroyed."

There was a sudden cry of surprise from all around, and the residents of the Deep Blue Kingdom looked at Xuanwu angrily, as if he had done something unforgivable.

"This damned landman actually wants to destroy the sun tree that we depend on for survival?"

"I suggest executing him immediately!"

"Don't waste it. It would be better to make a specimen and display it in a museum!"

Hearing this, the expression of the King of the Deep Blue Kingdom suddenly became solemn.

He leaned forward and stared at Xuanwu: "Are you thieves?"

At this time, Xuanwu understood their words and was so scared that his face turned ugly.

He hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, Your Majesty! We are just a deep-sea exploration team that accidentally discovered the tree full of magical fruits. We thought it was ownerless, so we came here to pick the fruits. If we knew it belonged to you, we would never touch it."

In response to his words, General Yu held his two octopus arms with a look of disdain and said lightly: "I don't believe your nonsense! That is the fruit of the sun tree, which has magical power. Even I would be jealous... No, I mean that I am very eager to get that power. Well... Anyway, you are very hateful, and I must punish you severely!"

Prince Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this. After all, the Sun Tree is a gift from God. And the source of the Sun Fruit is also from the spiritual energy of these land people. I think we should give them a chance to explain."

The scene was like a trial, and Xuanwu and others were silently waiting for the result of the trial.

Zhuque and Li Changgong could not understand the language of the mermaids and could only know what they were saying through communicating with Xuanwu.

Li Changgong suddenly had an idea and said to Xuanwu: "If we want them to let us go, we must provide them with enough benefits. I believe that they will definitely be interested in what happened on land. I have an idea, you can try it."

Li Changgong told Xuanwu about his plan. After listening to it, Xuanwu felt that it made some sense. Anyway, the only way now was to give it a try.

So when the people of the surrounding Deep Blue Kingdom were angrily accusing them, Xuanwu spoke.

"Your Majesty, and the people of the Undersea Kingdom, please listen to me!"

His tone became serious: "Our world is now facing a huge crisis, and the end of the world is coming soon. We enter the deep sea to search for treasures just to gain the power to resist the crisis of doomsday."

"This matter concerns every living thing on this planet, even your underwater races are no exception."

Hearing Xuanwu's serious voice, the mermaids from the Deep Blue Kingdom at the scene quieted down, their faces filled with worry.

Xuanwu thought that they were impressed by his excellent speech.

Unexpectedly, the king of the sea who was sitting above him held his chin with one hand, sighed and said:

"Don't you think we don't know about this kind of thing?"

He pointed at Xuanwu and said, "Let those land people in your body come out! We are all very curious about who are these people."

Xuanwu didn't dare to resist at this time, he could only open his mouth and let Li Changgong and others come out.

Twenty thousand meters below the sea, it is an area that is originally impossible for land creatures to reach. Fortunately, there are high-tech underwater combat suits that allow them to withstand this unimaginable high pressure.

This is all thanks to Zhang Yi, who shared the Cang Yuan tribe's technology with them, allowing them to greatly improve their own technological level.

Seeing these humans, the underwater inhabitants opened their eyes wide, swam over one after another, and looked at them as if they were rare animals.

"Oh my god, why do their tails look like that?"

"They are so ugly. Are they aliens? How did they grow like this?"

"I swear, I never want to go to land again. That place must be full of monsters. It's so ugly!"
