C857 Forbidden Area
After weighing the pros and cons, Grand Elder said, "If Young Heroes wants to go, then I'll go with Young Heroes."
No matter what, Wu Chen was worried about the matters of Mermaid Clan. No matter what level of consideration it was, she should accompany him.
"Grand Elder, let me accompany him in." Yu Jiaorong said.
"Jiao Rong, you?"
Yu Jiaorong said, "I wonder when I will be able to find the snapdragon there. What if we can't find the snapdragon after a long time and mother's illness breaks out again? Grand Elder can also help to suppress it, so you should stay behind. Let me go."
Grand Elder remained silent.
"Besides, the Merfolk is watching us from the outside. If Grand Elder isn't here, what should we do if the Merfolk suddenly attacks us?"
Grand Elder thought for a moment and felt that what Yu Jiaorong said made sense.
"Jiaojiao, since you have said so, I won't say anything. When do you plan to leave? Which place should I send you to?"
"When do you plan to leave?"
Yu Jiaorong asked Wu Chen. He was the attending physician and also the one who suggested to use the snapdragon. This matter was naturally up to him to decide.
Wu Chen thought about it and said, "It is better to choose a day than a day. Let's do it tomorrow."
"Alright, I have no objections."
Yu Jiaorong wished she could immediately find the snapdragon to treat her mother. As long as her mother was safe and sound, she was willing to pay any price.
"Alright, then tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Wu Chen had breakfast. After giving Yu Wushuang a treatment, he and Yu Jiaorong went to the forbidden area together with Grand Elder.
"Young Heroes, the forbidden area in front of us is the Mermaid Clan's."
Grand Elder pointed at the land in front of them and said to Wu Chen.
Wu Chen raised his head and saw that the space in front of him was empty. Apart from some seaweed, he couldn't see any other creatures. As for the fishes, he didn't even see a single one of them.
"The space here seems to be very hot."
Then, he discovered that the temperature of the seawater here was a few degrees higher than normal seawater. This was obviously abnormal.
Grand Elder said, "Young Heroes, you might not know, but underground, the geological activity is intense. It is an underwater volcano, although it has been settled here since the Mermaid Clan settled down here. This volcano has never erupted violently, but from time to time, some poisonous gas will emerge. "
The eruption of a volcano has a certain period of time. At the very least, it will only erupt once every few hundred years, at the very most, it will only erupt once every tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. The Mermaid Clan has only lived here for a few thousand years.
"So it's a volcano at the bottom of the ocean."
Wu Chen nodded. Volcanoes were the purest Yang energy. It was reasonable that they could form the purest Yang energy.
"Does this mean that the death of your Mermaid Clan is the poisonous gas of this volcano?"
Grand Elder thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but I think the problem isn't that simple."
Wu Chen thought about it and agreed. Although there would be a lot of poisonous gas coming out of the undersea volcano, however, there might be some experts in Mermaid Clan, and they might be able to solve this problem. Furthermore, the volcano had yet to erupt completely. The amount of poisonous gas that leaked out was... There was definitely not much of it. In order to seal it, for those true experts, it was not a big problem.
"Jiao Rong, since you won't let me in, then I'll send you all here. You all must be careful."
Yu Jiaorong nodded, "Grand Elder, don't worry. We will definitely get the snapdragon. I will have to trouble Grand Elder to take care of my mother."
"Child, why are you being so polite to me? Young Heroes, goodbye. I will wait for your good news in the palace."1
After saying that, Grand Elder turned around and left. He gradually disappeared into the sea.
"Let's go too."
"Alright."
Wu Chen and Yu Jiaorong looked at the space in front of them. Without any hesitation, they walked straight in.
The seawater here was because of natural geological activities such as underwater volcanoes. It had become extremely hot, and the temperature was much higher than the seawater outside. The deeper one went in, the hotter it became, as if the atmosphere outside was the same.
"It's a little hot here. Are you alright?"
This little bit of heat was not a problem for him. The temperature at the bottom of the sea was usually below zero. The temperature of the seawater here was higher than the surrounding seawater. It was suitable for him.
Yu Jiaorong looked at him and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I live well on land too, right?"
Although the Mermaid Clan lived at the bottom of the sea, they could also get rid of the seawater. Living on land, apart from some restrictions, they also had to live on land. For example, they could not exert their full strength and had to replenish some seawater every once in a while. There was basically nothing to worry about.
Once they went ashore, they would usually store some seawater in their Storage Ring to prevent any accidents from happening.
Wu Chen was stunned. This was good as well as to avoid some worries. Because Grand Elder had once said that in this forbidden area... Once the people of Mermaid Clan broke into this place, it would be very difficult for them to survive. He didn't want to see a peerless beauty like Yu Jiaorong die here.
"Since that's the case, let's continue."
The two of them continued walking forward. After walking for about an hour, however, they did not find anything. Other than the algae and other low-level creatures, there was nothing else. There was nothing else. Fish and shrimp were the most common creatures in the ocean. They were almost completely extinct here. There was no trace of them at all. It was very surprising that they could not find any of them.
Although there had been no accident so far, however, the two of them were incomparably cautious. Since this place was called a restricted area, they didn't know how many people from the Mermaid Clan had died here. Then... There must be something terrifying about this place. If this place wasn't terrifying, there wouldn't be fish living here.
"Wu Chen, wait."
Suddenly, Yu Jiaorong stopped, as if she had discovered something.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Chen stopped and turned around to ask curiously.
Yu Jiaorong felt it and said, "There is someone."
"There is someone?"
Wu Chen was shocked. Even he did not notice it, but Yu Jiaorong did.
"Let me use the Eye of the Sea God to take a look."
Yu Jiaorong immediately used the Eye of the Sea God to check her surroundings. Wu Chen knew. The Eye of the Sea God was a unique divine ability. As long as the cultivation base of the people in the Sea Clan reached a certain level, they would be able to use the Eye of the Sea God. It was similar to his Pill Eye. He or she would be able to see very far away.
