The Society and Ancient Relics!
Dagon, the High Priest of the Fishman.
Li Heng looked at the old Fishman then reached out and took out a cane made of coral, which he then used to prop himself up on the ground.
"Now that you're here, don't leave."
At that moment, all the fishermen put down their work and turned to look at Li Heng and his companion, their faces stiff.
Seeing this, Shen Shaoyan looked at Li Heng, who took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands. "In that case... everyone, we are just passing by."
Shen Shaoyan: "Huh?"
No, brother, aren't you a prince? What are you afraid of?
Seeing Shen Shaoyan's expression, Li Heng shrugged.
Upon seeing this, the old Fishman waved his hand, Fishman swarmed forward and tied up Li Heng and his companion's hands and feet.
The two were then thrown into a cellar.
Bump.
The iron gate was locked from the inside, and Shen Shaoyan couldn't hold back any longer. "If you're not a brother, what are you up to?"
Upon hearing this, Li Heng sat up against the wall. "Didn't you want to investigate the Fishman? Isn't this a good opportunity?"
As Li Heng spoke, he saw that Dagon slowly approach the two of them.
His dark yellow eyes flashed as he looked at Shen Shaoyan.
"I heard you came once, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Was it because we didn't treat you well enough?"
Hearing the old Fishman's words, Shen Shaoyan gritted his teeth, "... If you want to eat me, am I supposed to just stay here like an idiot and wait for you to make the first move?"
The old man was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "Eat you?"
"I'm sorry, we never eat people. For various reasons, I think you've misunderstood."
"We are the ocean's family, pioneers in embracing evolution, and we do not feed on humans."
"Then why did you arrest us?" Shen Shaoyan asked.
The old Fishman chuckled, "It's your honor to be captured, for you are about to step into our world and embrace evolution together with us!"
"Come, dedicate yourselves to R'lyeh, and we will be blessed by the sea, and we will be incomparable!"
The old Fishman raised his right hand, saying, "Awoowa Sisakamo..."
"Master Priest!"
Um?
The old Fishman turned his head with an unfriendly expression and saw a square-faced man run over and whisper a few words to him.
The old Fishman was stunned for a moment after hearing this. "They actually found it?"
"Very good, very good. With the Ancient Relic we recovered last time, my status in the Society will surely rise again. Hahahaha."
The Society?
Ancient Relic?
The old Fishman glanced at the two of them and said, "Keep an eye on them and wait for me to return."
After saying that, the old Fishman left the cellar.
Two Fishman obeyed Dagon's orders and stood guard on either side of the cellar.
But at that moment, two Blood Hand suddenly attacked from behind, grabbing the throats of the two Fishman!
Slap! Slap!
"Ugh!"
Li Heng's head appeared in the two Fishman's field of vision. "Don't rush, I have two questions for you. What is this the Society he just mentioned?"
The two Fishman's eyes widened. "Uh... you, cough cough, yes, yes, the Dagon the Society."
"What is it used for?"
"No... I don't know. The Dagon the Society is full of... full of priests..."
How many priests are there?
"Have no idea..."
"What about the Ancient Relic? What were the Ancient Relic he was talking about earlier?"
Upon hearing Li Heng's words, the two Fishman exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously reached out to grab Li Heng!
But at that moment, the Blood Hand behind the two suddenly exerted force, pressing both Fishman against the wall at the same time!
Bang!
"It seems to be classified."
A Fishman, struggling to breathe with Blood Hand gripping his throat, cried out, "I... I'll talk... let go of me..."
Li Heng released the Blood Hand's restraints, Fishman immediately knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
"An ancient, Ancient Relic is... Ugh!"
As the Fishman spoke, he suddenly let out a roar, the sound of which had an extremely long pitch and instantly spread throughout the cellar!
This is?
Li Heng reacted quickly, flicking his wrist to cut the ropes binding Shen Shaoyan's hands and feet with a sharp, bloody slash. "Run!"
Before Shen Shaoyan react, Li Heng grabbed him and simultaneously sprouted wings on his back, rushing out of the cellar!
Bump!
Outside, countless Fishman have completely surrounded this place!
But they don't seem to be able to fly.
Li Heng's gaze swept across the faces of all the Fishman. After confirming that his target was not among them, he turned around without saying a word and led Shen Shaoyan out of the encirclement.
Watching the two figures leave, Ye Long put on a black raincoat, turned around, and disappeared into the group of Fishman.
On the other end.
On the highway, Li Heng and Shen Shaoyan suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Shen Shaoyan was still reeling from the shock of Li Heng's supersonic flight.
At this moment, Li Heng suddenly squatted down. "Now that you've seen it all and asked everything, what are your plans?"
Shen Shaoyan looked up at Li Heng and asked, "Aren't you curious about the Ancient Relic, the Dagon the Society, and the things underwater?"
Li Heng shook his head. "I'm not curious."
"Curiosity killed the cat; digging into everything will only get you killed."
"As an old classmate, that's all I'll say. This mess is not something an ordinary person like you can wade into."
Shen Shaoyan was taken aback for a moment, "I may not be able to do it, but you're here for me!"
Li Heng stood up. "I, Li Heng, just want to live an ordinary life."
"The idea is nice, but in chaotic times, who can stay out of trouble?" Just then, a familiar voice came from the other side of the road.
Looking around, Li Heng saw Ye Long walking out of the woods wearing a black raincoat.
"Moreover, you and I are monsters ourselves, so it is impossible to escape the conflict between monsters."
Ye Long approached the two men, Li Heng looked at Ye Long, asking, "Is there something you need?"
Ye Long glanced at Shen Shaoyan. "Didn't he want to know about the Society and the Ancient Relic?"
"I can tell you, but in return, you have to do me a favor."
"What kind of help?"
"Help me steal something."
"Be more specific."
"Help me steal an Ancient Relic."
"I won't help."
As Li Heng was about to leave, Ye Long took off the hood of his raincoat and asked, "Since you only want to live an ordinary life, why did you come here in the first place?"
Why?
The reason Li Heng agreed to Shen Shaoyan's request was partly due to his own personal reasons.
After returning home, Li Heng tried to contact Li Yuan several times but received no response.
According to his mother, Li Yuan broke with his family a long time ago and has not been heard from since.
Despite extensive inquiries, Li Heng remained missing, and Li Yuan seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Until one day, Li Heng overheard a rumor.
Some say that if someone disappears without a trace, then that person has most likely turned into Fishman, or something else entirely.
A fair piece of advice: if a friend goes missing, don't go looking for him.
Because once you find him, you might be the next one.
