Chapter 125: Border Wall
Chapter 125: Border Wall
Bubulu is right. The more you hesitate, the more likely you are to miss the best time. Instead of doing that, you might as well move forward boldly.
There was no time to mourn for the martyred fishmen soldiers. Now they had to move on. As long as they could find Alfonso, they would definitely know what had happened.
.
Led by Herara, the group continued to move forward. When they arrived at the place where the palace should have been, they saw a thick wall.
The wall is towering and impenetrable, as if it were built to resist the erosion of the cold wave.
Di Qi walked forward and touched the wall with his hand, then quickly made a judgment.
"A perfect right angle. Even a goat can't climb this vertical structure. Whoever could create such a wonderful wall must be a skilled craftsman."
"I do not know how?"
Herara stepped forward and tried to climb, but it was in vain. Her hands were so delicate and tender, without even calluses, that they would just slip if she touched them.
Jiaozi rolled his fox eyes. "It seems that Alfonso and the others must be behind this city wall. Are they trying to resist the insect swarm or the cold wave? In any case, we can't get in anyway."
"It seems like this is the only way."
Hera took a few steps back. "Now that we've come this far, we can't return empty-handed! I'll restore my original form and forcibly break down the wall."
However, before Helara could take action, a black light shot out from her Taoist robe. It was her monster, the Mist Demon.
"Hey! I'm your master after all. Next time, can you please not come out of the monster card without saying a word?"
Herara put her hands on her hips, looking very angry.
"Herara, is this your monster?"
Bubulu seemed very curious about the mist-like mist demon. "What kind of thing is it?"
"My strength is only D-rank now, but it's still easy for me to pass through walls."
The words of the Mist Monster shocked everyone. They didn't expect that besides Dean Nicol's Koson Pterosaur, there was actually a monster that could speak human language.
"Why? Huaying can speak human language, right? What's so strange about that?"
After saying that, the Mist Demon activated its ability and transferred the crack to the city wall.
The fog monster can move freely through cracks, and with this ability, it can even carry people through walls.
"Thank you, Mist-Shadow! You've been a great help!"
Faced with Yiyin's praise, the fog demon seemed somewhat unmoved.
"I just don't want my master to get hurt in vain. If she gets hurt, it will greatly affect my condition."
After saying that, the Mist Demon took the initiative to return to Helala's monster card.
Hela smiled awkwardly. She pointed to the crack created by the mist demon and said, "Let's go."
.
Thanks to the help of the Mist Demon, Herala brought everyone behind the city wall without transforming into a fish dragon.
Compared to outside the wall, inside the wall is simply another world.
There are no buzzing poisonous insects here, nor snowflakes that make people feel icy and snowy. There is only warmth, just like the Dragon Palace before.
It seems that the remaining survivors have gathered here. The mermen and fishmen have completely put aside the barriers between them and started fighting for survival with a common hatred.
"Oh...old turtle, am I seeing things?"
They were greeted by Prime Minister Turtle. The moment he saw Herara, Prime Minister Turtle burst into tears.
"Please come in, I'll take you to see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Turtle, everyone learned that the number of people left was very small. Most of them died in the attack of the poisonous insects, and now only one in a hundred people are left.
"If it weren't for His Royal Highness, I wouldn't be alive today..."
Prime Minister Turtle was still in shock, as if he had never seen such a big change in his life.
"Grandpa Turtle, what exactly happened? Why did the Dragon Palace become like this?" Bubulu asked quickly.
"Bubulu! What's that Turtle Grandpa? You should call him Turtle Prime Minister!" Selina was so ashamed of Bubulu's disrespect that she wanted to bury her head in the ground.
"It doesn't matter."
Prime Minister Turtle gently waved his hand, "If you must say it, it's all my fault. I actually let Na Wei escape from prison!"
The Tail-End Squad was no stranger to Nave. A tiger-thorned merman obsessed with gold shells, he had once stolen the Flame Dragon's Soul, hoping to have everyone make him king and thereby sideline Alfonso. However, his scheme ultimately failed.
Herala was very merciful and only let Navi spend the rest of his life in an endless prison, but she didn't expect him to escape from prison.
Before everyone wanted to ask more questions, they had already arrived in front of Alfonso.
Alfonso looked very haggard and was obviously worried sick.
Despite this, when he saw Herara, he still forced himself to cheer up.
"Brother...I'm sorry I'm late."
Hera lowered her head and spoke shyly like a child who had done something wrong.
Alfonso smiled. "No problem. I'm glad to be back. Prime Minister Turtle, take them downstairs to rest first. I have something to discuss with Herara. I'll discuss it with you all in detail during the dinner. I'm sorry to bother you, but this dinner will definitely not be as large as the last one. I hope you can bear with me."
After saying that, Herara walked over to Alfonso and they started to discuss something.
Prime Minister Turtle also took Bubulu and the others to the resting place.
.
While it was a place to rest, it was barely a place to stay. After all, the Dragon Palace had a large population, and even if it was nearly consumed, it would still be a significant expense. To maintain the basic needs of life, the lack of necessary decorations was irrelevant.
Seeing that they were not needed for the time being, Bubulu and his companions simply sat down on the ground.
"Speaking of which, this is Sai Shier, right? I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you have grown into a big girl."
Prime Minister Turtle looked at the Black Tortoise in front of him and couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world.
Xuanwu clenched his left fist with his right hand on top of it, bowed slightly, and saluted to Prime Minister Gui.
"Prime Minister Turtle, Senior Sister Xuanwu said you are in good health."
Yiyin acted as a human translator and began to translate.
"Hmm...I see. I see."
Prime Minister Turtle understood something and patted Yiyin's shoulder with a smile.
"Although I am old, I still have the most basic sense. You are guests. If there is any danger in the Dragon Palace, I will defend this place even if it costs my life."
After saying this, Prime Minister Turtle stood up and said goodbye.
"Everyone, please take a break here. I, Old Turtle, have something to do. I'll come back to inform you when the dinner starts."
After Prime Minister Turtle left, everyone took a rest.
“It feels like we’re going to be busy again.”
Jiaozi smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, take advantage of this time to rest. I'm afraid you won't have this kind of rest time later."
After saying that, Jiaozi dozed off while standing.
Di Qi was meditating and pretending to doze off, but he was actually observing the situation around him silently.
Selina summoned the water elf and adjusted her Water Fang at the same time so that she could be in the best condition when the time came to fight.
As for Bubu Road...
He looked left and right curiously, as if he had no idea what tiredness was.
Yi Yin sighed. Revisiting the old place hadn't been smooth sailing. Na Wei alone couldn't cause any trouble. It was very likely that a Qinglong clone was behind this.
"By the way, Senior Xuanwu, how are you feeling?"
Ever since Xuanwu used the word spirit to control the poisonous insect, she hasn't spoken much, and her body has been shaking slightly. She doesn't look in a very good condition.
Yiyin held Xuanwu's hand tightly, trying to calm her down.
"(I'm fine. I just thought of something... The Gu worms I encountered earlier, I learned at the Four Gods Base, can be used as alchemical ingredients. As long as there are Gu worms as a medicine, combined with alchemy, it can make the dead hang on to their last breath. Such a large number of Gu worms must have been deliberately bred by someone, and their purpose is...)"
