Chapter 525 Lightning Blue Dragon

Chapter 114 Naga

Su Lun had studied the Seven-Colored Conch before. He had tried to pour a wisp of wind into it, but it didn't make a sound.

He didn't expect that in Tani's mouth, it would actually blow out a sound all at once.

And so beautiful.

The conch sound was very special. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to be able to travel to a very, very far place.

"Woo..."

It was clearly a very simple long鸣 (míng - cry, sound), but it seemed to make people hear a beautiful melody. The surrounding wind and sea elements seemed to be attracted by a mysterious force and jumped with the sound waves.

Everyone on the deck and in the cabin had a trace of trance in their eyes when they heard the sound.

Looking again, a brilliant rainbow of several hundred meters appeared above the Eternal Night.

Su Lun was also very surprised, because he clearly felt a kind of inaccessible high-level law fluctuation from this rhythm, like wind and sand.

The beauty even made him wonder if a conch girl or something would pop out.

But after blowing it for a while, Tani looked like he was about to run out of breath, suddenly put the conch down from his mouth, and muttered, "Ah...blowing this is so exhausting."

As soon as the conch sound stopped, the rainbow gradually dissipated, and the surrounding cheerful waves calmed down.

Only the distant sound had spread out into the distance.

Everyone laughed and dispersed.

Su Lun had previously identified the conch's effect, which was to control "wind" and "sea."

Now that Tani's strength was not strong, it seemed that it was not very useful.

Su Lun asked Tani to put the conch away.

The Eternal Night continued to drift aimlessly on the sea.

......

Su Lun did not intend to rush into this unknown sea area to take risks.

Before, it was because two major pirate groups opened the way for them that their Dawn Troupe was able to arrive here safely.

Now that they had to clear the mines themselves, the risk would be extremely high.

The Eternal Night Sea was like a moat, blocking outsiders from coming over and surrounding the Dragon Country sea area from "dangerous" things going out.

Just as marked on the Dragon Country Sea Map, there were dangers everywhere here.

Moreover, this nautical chart did not know how many years ago it was drawn, and there must be some unknown changes.

The sea area that could wipe out Black Sam, the Pirate King's team, must not be taken lightly.

Without a safe plan before, Su Lun was not in a hurry.

After fighting for several days in a row, the members were tired, and it was just right to rest.

The Eternal Night floated on the sea unhurriedly.

Night fell, and the sky was full of stars.

The ship was quiet. The Dawn Troupe, which had been fighting fiercely, was already exhausted, and most people were sound asleep.

Tonight, the moonlight was not very bright, and the sea was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

The lights shone on the sea, flowing with an endless deep black.

Su Lun was meditating in the captain's room, and his perception was also constantly released.

In this dangerous sea area, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

Just past midnight.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes sharply.

Qiantiao, who had been snoring beside him, also instantly sensed this chill and got up very vigilantly.

She didn't sense anything and asked Su Lun, "What's wrong?"

Su Lun frowned and said, "Just now, a team of people swam over from the water and touched near our ship."

There was no one else in this sea area. His first reaction was that the magicians from the Celestial God Plane had taken advantage of the night to come over to investigate the situation.

As soon as he finished speaking, he and Qiantiao teleported to the deck.

The patrolling members were still walking back and forth on the deck, obviously not noticing anything unusual.

Seeing Su Lun and Qiantiao appear, the patrol squad leader asked, "Mr. Su Lun, Captain Qiantiao, why are you here?"

Su Lun motioned everyone not to speak.

Everyone immediately became alert, realizing that something was wrong.

It was quiet all around. Even Su Lun's night vision ability did not find anything unusual, but his soul perception clearly found more than a dozen people hiding in the water near their sea ship.

"Eh...strange."

Su Lun was not in a hurry to act, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

This method did not look like a magician, nor did it look like pirates with underwater equipment.

He originally wanted to observe what those guys were going to do, but those guys hiding at the bottom of the water seemed very vigilant. As if they had discovered something, they heard a slight "哗啦 (huā lā)" sound of water beside their ears, and they all fled like swordfish.

"So fast!"

Su Lun was slightly surprised in his heart.

Qiantiao obviously also noticed this movement and was interested in drawing her sword.

But Su Lun was faster. He had been prepared before coming to the deck. With one hand, his five fingers grabbed the void, and strands of silk threads condensed into entities. Just as those guys in the water turned around to escape, six or seven of them crashed into an invisible big net.

Su Lun used the boom on the side of the ship and "哗啦 (huā lā)" pulled those guys out of the water and suspended them in mid-air.

In an instant, everyone on the deck knew that they had caught spies, and the searchlights instantly shone over.

It shone on a white patch of skin and sparkling scales.

Seeing this, Su Lun said unexpectedly, "Not humans?"

Sea monsters?

Mermaids?

He didn't know how to describe the humanoid creatures he saw in front of him. They had human bodies and fish tails, and they looked like sea monsters. But when exposed to the air, the tails of these seven gradually turned into human shapes, turning into two men and five women, seven naked humans. But even so, they retained some characteristics of marine life, such as ears and some scales.

This sudden situation also attracted everyone on the deck, and everyone gathered on the side of the ship to watch the excitement.

But Su Lun suddenly thought of something and guessed, "Naga?"

These seven guys, let's just say they were people, were captured by silk nets. They looked at a group of humans on the boat in horror and fiercely, struggling to escape from the net.

But where could Su Lun's current silk threads be broken by a few guys with only about Tier 3 or 4 combat power?

He shouted into the communicator for Tani, who hadn't closed his eyes for days and nights. After a few breaths, a figure jumped down from the cockpit, "Mr. Su Lun, are you looking for me?"

Tani stood firm, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the seven people hanging in the net. As if he recognized something, he frowned instantly.

Su Lun said, "Take a look, aren't these your people?"

Tani was a mixed-race of human and Naga, and he left this sea area when he was very young. He didn't have many memories of his hometown.

But his mother was a pure-blooded Naga!

Tani observed it and confirmed it all at once, and said excitedly, "Yes! These are Naga people!"

Those seven Naga people were illuminated by strong light and were still struggling.

Su Lun felt that they were probably frightened, and greeted the Dawn members around him who were watching the excitement and said, "Okay, everyone, disperse."

Although everyone was curious, they returned to their posts.

If they were Tani's people, they were naturally not enemies. Su Lun put the people on the deck but also restricted them slightly so they wouldn't jump off the ship and escape.

The strong lights were turned off, and those Naga people were finally not so panicked. They also looked at the humans in front of them.

Languages were not the same, and communication was slightly troublesome.

Su Lun thought about it and said directly, "Don't panic, we won't hurt you. This is Tani, he is your Naga, his mother is called Friedel, and his father is a human, he should be called Sam Bellamy..."

Before peeling off the Celestial God Plane, he learned a small spell, [Universal Language].

It was to attach mental power expression to the language, bypass the language barrier, and allow both sides of the dialogue to roughly understand some of the dialogue.

While Su Lun was speaking, a mental power was released at the same time. He roughly expressed that he had no malice.

The names were transliterated, and they all sounded roughly the same.

Sure enough, these straightforward words immediately quieted the Naga people in front of him. Their eyes were hesitant, obviously having heard a few names.

The seven people did not look very old. One of the slightly older blonde girls looked like a captain.

Su Lun remembered that when he captured them before, she could have escaped, but she came back to save people and was caught.

She looked up and down at Tani, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Do you know Friedel **?"

Su Lun didn't quite understand the last honorific title, but he also knew it was a designation like "leader," "chieftain," or "priest."

He directly put Tani's completely petrified mother in the Small Void Realm on the deck and said, "Tani's mother was petrified by the Gorgon. This time we came here to find a way to see if we can solve the petrification."

These days, Dr. Banks had been studying methods to remove petrification, but the progress was not very ideal. The law level of the Gorgon's petrification technique was too high, and current biological methods could not solve the problem.

Seeing the petrified clansman, the blonde girl's face instantly changed.

Although she was still young during the disaster thirty years ago, she was also an eyewitness. (Setting: The Naga have a lifespan of about 200 years, and 30 is their girlhood.)

Seeing this, Su Lun released the space restrictions.

Several Naga people looked around, wanting to escape, but when they turned around, the leading girl did not move, and they stayed.

At this time, Su Lun said again, "We are not enemies. If possible, I would like to meet your Naga elders."

There were too many unknowns in this sea area, and he really needed some information from the Naga to open up the situation.

Hearing this, the girl thought seriously for a moment before saying, "I can't make a decision, but we can go back and notify the elders. If you don't trust me, you can let my companions go back, and I'll stay here."

Su Lun readily agreed to let them all leave.

But when they were about to leave, he glanced at their naked bodies again and asked, "Do you need some clothes?"

The Naga girl's face was unchanged, and she said, "No, we don't need them. The Naga are natural spirits, and our bodies are part of nature. Only you humans feel that this is shameful and cover it up."

With that, they jumped off the deck.

Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly as he listened.

This was a bit similar to the Dalus's concept.

It was like the fish in the sea and the deer in the forest, it would be even stranger to wear clothes.

Watching the Naga leave, Qiantiao's eyes fell on the small splashes of water on the sea, and she smacked her lips: "Aiyo, pretty good looking."

Su Lun smiled when he heard this, "Indeed, they are quite good looking."

The Naga were descendants of dark elves and looked handsome.

Moreover, there were more women than men. Now, when he saw it, it was indeed the case.

......

Su Lun didn't ask before, but he guessed that the sound of Tani blowing the [Seven-Colored Conch] during the day attracted the Naga.

But now, the appearance of the Naga was a great benefit to the Dawn Troupe.

After releasing the seven Naga people, Su Lun didn't think that they wouldn't come back.

He and Qiantiao sat on the mast and blew the wind, meditating and practicing.

Tani also sometimes lay on the side of the ship, looking around from time to time.

Before long, two hours later, several Naga swam back again, still led by the blonde Naga girl.

They did not get on the boat, but shouted directly in the water, "That human..."

Su Lun smiled slightly: "My name is Su Lun."

The blonde girl changed her words and said, "That...Su Lun human, the elder said, let you go to Golden Palm Island to meet. But they don't want to see too many people."

Su Lun smiled: "Okay. Where is that island? If possible, I'll go with you now."

The blonde girl asked cautiously, "How many of you are going?"

Su Lun said: "Just me and Tani."

The Dawn Troupe members on the ship smiled without saying a word.

The members who had seen Su Lun's combat power would not think that he would be in any danger going alone.

If there was really an accident, Su Lun's ability to fight alone was even stronger than the entire Dawn Troupe going to protect themselves.

Hearing this, the blonde girl's tense expression eased, and she asked, "Are you going to row over?"

Hearing that he was going, Tani excitedly interjected: "I can swim."

Su Lun also smiled and said, "I can go by myself."

As he spoke, he jumped down, and the Eight-Armed Spider Spear stood firmly on the sea.

The girl Naga looked at the spider spear behind Su Lun and muttered to herself, "Is this the alchemist of humans..."

Tani also jumped into the water, and some of the Naga's aquatic features were revealed on his body.

Looking at him, the vigilance in the eyes of several Naga people also eased a lot.

They turned around and swam rapidly towards the northwest.

Su Lun and Tani followed closely.

......

The Naga were good at controlling water and were extremely fast in the water.

They also deliberately slowed down so that Su Lun and the others could keep up.

After swimming for half an hour, the group came to a deserted island.

"Golden Palm Island" was obviously a temporary deserted island, and there were many coconut trees on the beach.

When Su Lun came, he sensed about dozens of soul fluctuations on the island, some hiding and some waiting on the beach.

The strongest one did not bring him any threatening feeling, and he estimated that he had about Tier 6 combat power.

Su Lun didn't care at all and went directly to the island.

Looking at it, there was a group of naked handsome men and beautiful women.

Still more women than men.

They were handsome and had graceful figures.

Even the leading female Naga clan, called "Elder Sela," looked like a charming middle-aged woman in human eyes, and was not old at all.

The blonde girl went ashore first and introduced a few words to the clansmen.

However, what was surprising was that when Elder Sela saw Tani, she called out in one breath: "Little Tani?"

There was obviously a hint of surprise in his tone.

Tani couldn't remember who the female clansman in front of him was, but he seemed to have some impression and didn't know how to respond.

He turned his head to look at Su Lun.

Su Lun asked: "This elder, do you know Tani?"

"Of course. I hugged him when he was very young."

Elder Sela looked at Tani with a loving expression in her eyes and spoke the common language of the Luoying Empire. She muttered to herself, "I said, who could blow the holy artifact [Seven-Colored Conch]? It turns out it's Little Tani."

Her expression fell into a moment of contemplation, and she directly said: "Hearing from Tatu, you brought back news of Priest Friedel? Can I see her first?"

Su Lun put the petrified mother of Tani on the beach again.

But to his surprise, seeing this statue, Elder Sela's eyes lit up, and then the dozens of clansmen on the beach bowed down solemnly, like a grand welcome ceremony.

Su Lun quietly avoided it to the side, and didn't have the face to be worshiped like that.

He also understood that Tani's mother's identity seemed to be very special in the Naga clan.

After all the Naga people got up, Elder Sela invited Su Lun: "This human sir, please sit down here. I'm sorry, the current situation of our Naga is not very good, so we are more cautious, I hope you don't mind."

"Of course. Elder Sela, you can call me Su Lun."

Su Lun didn't mind at all and walked to the simple stone platform with fruit and sat down.

The blonde girl before brought tea cups and poured tea.

Su Lun took a look and found that this was actually Luoying Empire porcelain?

Elder Sela asked tentatively: "Are you from the distant Luoying Empire? The country that Mr. Sam was from?"

Su Lun took a sip of tea, smiled and nodded, and asked curiously, "Elder, have you heard of the Luoying Empire?"

Elder Sela said: "Of course. Mr. Sam brought a lot of news from distant countries back then."

As she spoke, she greeted Tani, who was standing aside, to sit beside her, "Little Tani, you can sit next to me."

Su Lun asked: "Tani's father is Mr. Sam Bellamy? I was just guessing before and wasn't sure."

"Of course."

A memory flashed in Elder Sela's eyes, and she said: "More than 20 years ago, that powerful human adventurer and his partners came to this sea area. Mr. Sam and the priest of our Naga had a beautiful encounter. Then they fell in love, and Little Tani was born."

"I see."

Su Lun smiled slightly as he listened. He had guessed when he saw Tani holding the third [Black Sam Cursed Gold Coin] in the Pirate City before.

Now that it was confirmed, it wasn't too surprising.

Tani on the side widened his eyes and learned for the first time that his father was the famous "Pirate King Black Sam" in the pirate circle!

In surprise, he finally understood why his mother never said his father's identity.

Then, Su Lun asked again: "What exactly happened back then? Why was Tani's mother petrified? Also, what about Mr. Sam and his pirate group?"

These were some of the questions that Su Lun wanted to know from the Naga.

There were many purposes for coming to the Dragon Country sea area this time. In addition to wanting to help Tani's mother remove the petrification, he also wanted to find the [Holy Grail of Fal] on Black Sam's ship, as well as the dragon, the [Mimir's Well]...

It would be best if he could get some directional clues.

When it came to the past, Elder Sela's mature and charming face could not hide her sorrow and sigh, and she responded: "Mr. Sam and his partners went to the 'Ancient Dragon Country Ruins' in the far west to adventure. It was a very dangerous sea area, with powerful dragons and Cyclops, as well as ancient gods' battlefields...and then..."

She didn't finish speaking. Later, of course, they disappeared.

Listening to the description, Su Lun probably knew which direction the Pirate King's team went.

It was not good to ask in detail now, and he didn't say much.

Elder Sela sighed softly, unable to hide her regret, and said: "Originally, the Gorgon was also near the ancient battlefield in the west. I don't know why she suddenly invaded our Naga's territory. The High Priest, that is, Tani's grandmother, and the elders died in the battle with the Gorgon in order to cover the escape of the young clansmen... and our sea ship encountered a storm at sea and was lost..."

The situation was about the same as he guessed.

There was nothing to ask about such a heavy topic, and Su Lun listened quietly.

Elder Sela said, as if she didn't want to mention the disaster that almost wiped out the Naga, and instead asked, "By the way, Mr. Su Lun, may I ask what is the purpose of your visit to the Dragon Country sea area this time? Are you also here to adventure?"

The atmosphere seemed harmonious, but in fact, she was also reserving some before she was sure of the intentions of the Dawn Troupe.

Su Lun was very clear about this and understood.

He said truthfully: "Adventure is indeed one of our purposes this time. But there are some more important things."

As he spoke, he told Elder Sela about the plane invasion.

Elder Sela originally wanted to ask what exactly was the huge roaring sound near Rainbow Island during the day, but she didn't expect to hear news of a "plane invasion" that was completely unexpected.

She asked in surprise: "You mean, some enemies who are not from this plane have come to Rainbow Island?"

Su Lun said: "Yes. They used the [Rainbow Well] to establish a super-long-distance teleportation array, and magicians will be continuously teleported over. The situation will get worse and worse."

After a pause, he continued: "So I would also like to ask, Elder Sela, do you know of any way to stop their teleportation?"

Elder Sela frowned and thought for a long time, with too much shocking information flooding into her mind, making it difficult for her to digest. After thinking about it, she only said, "The High Priest can seal the outflow of magical energy from the [Rainbow Well]."

Su Lun said: "High Priest?"

Elder Sela: "Yes. Our Naga's High Priest can use the power of the holy artifact [Seven-Colored Conch] to seal the Rainbow Well."

As she spoke, she said with a regretful expression: "However, I am very sorry to say that the High Priest died in the battle more than 20 years ago. Now, even if we find the holy artifact, no one in the clan can cast such a powerful seal."

"..."

Su Lun also frowned.

The teleportation array could not be closed, which was a big problem.

Just when he felt that things had entered a dead end again, Elder Sela's gaze looked at the stone sculpture in the distance, seeming to have something in mind.

Su Lun keenly captured this gaze, and his eyes turned. He directly asked: "Ms. Friedel, Tani's mother, still has signs of life. We came here this time to find a way to remove the petrification. Does the elder know of any way to remove it?"

The Naga didn't have as many conspiracies and tricks in their minds as humans. Elder Sela didn't hide her thoughts of wanting to save her clansmen and responded: "Little Tani's mother, Friedel, is the daughter of the High Priest and is originally a priest in our clan. If she can be restored, perhaps she can seal the [Rainbow Well]. The one who came to invade back then was the Gorgon Queen. We have tried many methods to reverse the petrification curse of that level, but they all failed."

Hearing this, Tani's little face was full of tension and anxiety, as it concerned his mother's life and death.

Su Lun was calm.

He felt that since she said it, there must be a way.

Sure enough, Elder Sela said: "However, it is said that the human wizards of the Dragon Country have a secret recipe that can restore petrification. A human king once went to the Gorgon's territory and was petrified, but he used a magical potion and then recovered."

Hearing this, Su Lun asked in surprise: "Human kingdom? Are there still humans in this sea area?"

There were markings on the map, but it was hard to say whether there were any left after so many years.

Elder Sela: "Yes. There is a human kingdom in the north. They are accompanied by dragons and are called 'Dragon Country'."

After a pause, she looked at Su Lun, with a sincere gaze, and directly said what was in her heart: "Our Naga are not friendly with humans. If possible, I would like to entrust Mr. Su Lun and your partners to help find that potion to save our clansmen."

Su Lun didn't think much and said: "Of course. This is what we are supposed to do."

Even if it had nothing to do with the Naga, since there was news, he was prepared to go there anyway.

This was the promise he had made to Tani before.

Moreover, with the existence of a human kingdom, their plan to come to the Dragon Country sea area this time would be much easier.

Dealing with humans was much easier than with sea monsters, dragons, and the like.

Hearing him agree, Sela suddenly stood up, and she and the dozens of Naga people bowed to Su Lun, expressing their most sincere thanks.

Su Lun returned the salute repeatedly.

......

The atmosphere of the conversation became very harmonious from this moment on.

Su Lun clearly felt that the last bit of vigilance in the eyes of the Naga had disappeared.

The blonde girl named "Tatu" also had a kind smile on her face, and she was extremely polite when pouring tea.

The atmosphere of the conversation became more and more harmonious.

Su Lun also learned a lot of information that he urgently wanted to know from Elder Sela, and he also had a more accurate judgment on the risks of this sea area.

The atmosphere was pleasant, and laughter could occasionally be heard.

However, the only thing that made Su Lun feel slightly awkward during this process was that his gaze often had nowhere to rest.

No matter where he looked, it was a white expanse of skin. Moreover, the charm value that came with the elven bloodline also made people feel that looking at their bodies was like appreciating exquisite works of art.

Elder Sela was like this, Tatu was like this, and every Naga was like this.

Without any evil thoughts, Su Lun didn't feel too embarrassed, but he always felt that it was a bit impolite to look at them.

While they were chatting, Sela also showed some concern for the Dawn Troupe and said: "You must have deeply felt the danger of the Eternal Night Sea, right? But I once heard Mr. Sam say that the danger of the Dragon Country sea area is a hundred times that of the Eternal Night Sea... There are very many deadly dangers lurking in this sea area. And you'd better not go out to sea for some time recently. The noise of shelling Rainbow Island yesterday was too loud. That behavior was very dangerous and must have alarmed many ferocious predators nearby... Even waking up the sleeping evil dragon on Thunder Sea Island, seven hundred nautical miles to the northwest."

"..."

Su Lun smiled without saying a word as he listened.

How could he not have imagined that the shelling would cause these consequences?

But he had space teleportation and the Small Void Realm. Even if this sea area was turned upside down, it wouldn't be a big problem.

He could just stuff the Eternal Night in and run away.

The only ones who had to worry were the people from the Celestial God Plane on Rainbow Island.

But he didn't mean to explain.

However, when Su Lun heard the last sentence, he interrupted in surprise and asked: "Elder Sela, are there dragons nearby?"

Sela nodded, with a serious expression, as if describing a terrifying creature: "Yes. It is a pure-blooded blue dragon, who controls the power of lightning and is extremely dangerous..."

Listening to the top creature on the food chain, the Naga looked very serious.

But they didn't realize that Su Lun's eyes showed a strange light when he heard it.

He had just arrived in the Dragon Country sea area and heard news of a... lone dragon?

Was he so lucky?
