"Hmm? What's going on?"
Ye Feng felt the violent tremors and couldn't help but speak.
"Sea God, Sea God!"
Just then, the Merman Chief and Ariel suddenly shouted and ran towards them.
Seeing the two enter, Ye Feng asked, "Chief, you've come at the right time. What's with the shaking outside?"
The Merman Chief hurriedly replied, "I was just about to mention that! According to news from our spies within the Merfolk tribe, because you rescued two people yesterday, the Merfolk tribe feared we would rescue more, so they sacrificed those people early this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but tremble and exclaimed in anger, "What? All those people were sacrificed?"
"That's right! The tremors just now should be the indication that their sacrifice is complete and the underwater ruins are beginning to surface!" the Merman Chief explained.
"Damn it! These cruel beasts!" Ye Feng was furious.
Originally, Ye Feng and his group planned to rescue Chu Ling'er and Ai Xi's brother first yesterday, and then rescue the others. However, they didn't expect the black-robed man to be so powerful, injuring three innate powerhouses of the Merman tribe, so they had to give up. They intended to wait for them to recover before planning how to rescue those captured. But they never imagined that the Merfolk tribe would perform the sacrifice ceremony in advance. To be honest, those people had no connection to Ye Feng, and it would have been reasonable for him not to rescue them. It was just that encountering such a situation and failing to save those people made him feel somewhat guilty.
RUMBLE!
At this moment, the tremors intensified, and even where they were located began to shake. Seeing this, a few people quickly ran out of the room to investigate. At this time, the entire Merman tribe also came out of their rooms, looking into the distance. Soon, they witnessed an incredible sight. In front of them, in the center of the misty sea area, a terrifying pillar of light shot up into the sky, reaching into the clouds. The seawater in the center was churning, as if something was about to emerge. After a while, a massive palace slowly emerged from within. The palace was a hundred meters tall, with two dragon statues on either side, one white and one black. In front of the two dragons stood a statue of a man holding a trident, majestic, powerful, sacred, and solemn.
"This, this is the ancient City of the Sea God!"
"The Merfolk tribe has brought up the ruins of the City of the Sea God again, what are they trying to do?"
"I don't know, but you don't need to think to know that whatever these guys do, it's never good..."
As everyone was discussing, countless things began to float up, not just the statues of the Sea God and the twin dragons, but also other structures. In a short while, a vast city appeared before everyone's eyes, spanning thousands of meters in length and width. It was truly a massive city hidden beneath the water. Ye Feng and the others watched this spectacular scene, their jaws almost dropping. After a moment of shock, Ye Feng asked, "Are there really underwater ruins? What is the purpose of the Merfolk tribe bringing these underwater ruins up?"
The Merman Chief hurriedly explained, "Legend has it that these underwater ruins are the City of the Sea God! However, after the previous Sea God left, this City of the Sea God sank into the deep sea thousands of meters below! And the endless treasures of the Sea Race also disappeared!"
"Therefore, some people speculate that all those endless treasures were hidden by the Sea God within the City of the Sea God and sank into the deep sea! I think the Merfolk tribe's goal is the endless treasures within the ancient Sea God's Palace!"
Ye Feng listened and murmured, "Endless treasures? Do such things really exist?"
Ye Feng didn't have much of a concept of endless treasures, but seeing such an underwater city emerge, he was extremely shocked.
RUMBLE!
However, at this moment, the entire boundless sea area trembled violently again, as if something had returned to its place. Then, everything calmed down, and the sea appeared exceptionally quiet. At this time, the City of the Sea God revealed its full appearance. It was a massive island, with a huge city on it. The entire city was oval-shaped, with the Sea God statue and the two dragons at its center, rising in the middle and sloping downwards around the edges, presenting a scene of stars encircling the moon. Ye Feng could hardly imagine how such magnificent and grand architecture was built with the methods of the past.
However, the moment the entire City of the Sea God surfaced, the Sea God's trident on Ye Feng's forehead suddenly began to throb violently. It wasn't a signal of danger, but a feeling of excitement, as if it had found something familiar, an unprecedented excitement. At the same time, Ye Feng also felt that something in the City of the Sea God was summoning him. Not only him, but Xiao Hei also emerged at this time, hissing and making a fuss in the direction of the underwater city. It was clear that what was summoning it was also within the Sea God's Palace.
"Chief, look, the Merfolk tribe is heading towards the City of the Sea God!" suddenly a powerful Merman pointed towards a spot ahead and said.
Everyone heard this and quickly looked, only to see over a dozen Merfolk traveling on a ship towards the City of the Sea God. Seeing this, the Merman Chief panicked and hurriedly asked, "Sea God, what do we do now?"
"Since they can go, we will follow!" Ye Feng glanced and said calmly. Since this was left behind by the previous Sea God, it should belong to him.
"Alright, we'll do as the Sea God says!" the Merman Chief replied.
Next, the Merman Chief had Ariel lead three innate powerhouses to follow Ye Feng towards the City of the Sea God. The surfaced City of the Sea God was not far from them, only a few thousand meters away. Therefore, the five of them did not travel by boat but swam through the water. Once in the water, the Mermen instantly transformed into their human form with fish tails, moving very quickly in the water. In a short while, Ye Feng and the others caught up with the Merfolk group, but they did not get close, but followed from a distance.
"Huh, that's right! Aren't the Merfolk also an underwater race? Why aren't they swimming, but instead taking a boat?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
Ariel shook her head and replied, "I don't know... Oh, I remember now, their wizard doesn't seem to be a Merfolk, but a human!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng was startled and quickly asked, "That wizard? Are you talking about that black-robed man?"
"Yes, according to the information our Merman tribe has obtained, he is not a Merfolk, but a human!" Ariel said.
"I see! No wonder they are taking a boat!" Ye Feng said.
However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. It felt as if he was being stared at by some terrifying existence, so he quickly activated his underwater detection ability and looked around. The next second, a terrifying thing appeared in his sight...
