Chapter 2833: It Can Act as a Shield
Although the crystal dragon did not know what these people were here for, they were so powerful that it might be beneficial to follow them.
After all, what if they took pity on him and gave him some treasures?
Besides, he had just witnessed the disappearance of the fairy race. This would be an amazing story to tell—he’d be the only one who knew the truth.
Just imagining how everyone would look at him with awe made him feel excited.
The crystal dragon ran over to Ning Shu and said, “Take me with you. I can still fly, and I know where the mermaids are.”
Ning Shu felt quite speechless. She had the least speaking rights in this group, so why was he asking her?
Was he choosing the easiest target to pick on?
Shouldn’t he be asking the other three?
Ning Shu spread her hands and said, “Why don’t we just bring it along, since it says it can fly?”
The crystal dragon nodded repeatedly. “Right, right.”
“Then let’s just have it come along. If there’s any danger, it can act as a shield,” said the fragrant man.
The crystal dragon: …
Were they joking? They were so powerful—did they really still need him to act as cannon fodder?
After collecting the fairy race, the group headed towards the sea. Beyond this mountain range, there was a vast ocean.
There were many demonic beasts in the sea, and the number of species might be even greater than the number on land.
Here lived the beautiful and dreamy mermaids who were skilled at beguiling people.
Ning Shu, on the back of the crystal dragon, looked down at the ocean below. The sparkling ocean, under the sunlight, looked like it was sprinkled with gold powder, glittering with light.
It was a beautiful and dangerous ocean.
Ning Shu saw some fish jumping out of the sea and beautiful mermaids, some leaping through the waters, some sitting on the reef.
The lower half of their bodies was a fishtail, and the upper half was human. They had seaweed-like hair covering their full chests.
Beautiful, mesmerizing tunes emitted from their mouths.
The fragrant man covered his heart, looking intoxicated. “This sound is so beautiful. It would be perfect in my world.”
Ning Shu: …
Could it be he wasn’t after them for their looks?
The crystal dragon flapped its wings when suddenly a water column shot up from below. It was probably an attack from the underwater demonic beasts.
The crystal dragon flapped its wings rapidly to dodge the water column.
Although it dodged, everyone was still splashed with water.
Ning Shu wiped her face and saw that the other three were also soaked.
Ning Shu said, “This water must have been spat out by a demonic beast’s mouth.”
Then, to Ning Shu’s satisfaction, the school doctor’s uncle’s face immediately darkened.
Perfect!
The school doctor’s uncle flicked off the water droplets on his body, then reached out and wiped his hand on Ning Shu’s clothes.
Ning Shu: …
Whoever stood beside him always ended up unlucky.
It wasn’t like people’s clothes were rags.
She really wondered how he lived to be so old without being beaten to death.
It was really unexpected for a task-taker to have OCD.
Ning Shu wanted to wipe it back, but then she recalled the gun at his waist. Fine, she’d just take this as being bumped into by a dirty pig.
The beautiful mermaids sitting on the reef saw the crystal dragon in the sky.
They jumped off the reef one after another before reemerging with their heads on the water surface. They started singing in a soft and melodious voice that made people’s minds hazy.
Ning Shu’s mental strength was very strong, so she was not disturbed by this singing, and her expression remained calm.
A tree slowly appeared above the fragrant man’s head.
The tree didn’t look big, but it was lush with branches and leaves.
