From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 362: Black Bone Blue Cave
After discussion, everyone agreed to Lu Heng's plan to use the remaining time to raid the habitat of the black-scaled demon.

However, before taking action, you need to prepare.

The most important thing is to obtain information about the habitat of the Black Scale Demon. This information can be obtained by asking the Sirens.

After everyone dispersed to make preparations, Su Muyu pulled Lu Heng and whispered, "I'll go with you to talk to Sona. I think the raid on the Black Scale Demon is more difficult than we expected.

“After all, the Black Scale Demons also live in the Tidal Sea, and they have a conflict of living environment with the Sirens.

"If the Black Scale Demon was so easy to deal with, the Sirens would have taken action long ago."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement: "I have thought about this a long time ago, so I have to talk to Sona. I wonder if she is free."

The Sirens had just experienced a disaster. The Temple of Vashj was attacked, Onatu rebelled and was killed by the Firelord Gross, and the Tidecaller Elder Celian was also seriously injured.

The Sirens have a lot to do right now, and as the High Priestess, Sona must be very busy.

The two men left their residence, picked a few pieces of gill grass at the door and put them in their mouths, then stepped into the water curtain and swam to find the high priest Sona.

In fact, Lu Heng doesn’t like soaking in sea water. It’s okay to play occasionally, but most people would feel uncomfortable soaking in sea water for a long time.

After all, the clothes will get wet, and when they are dried, a layer of sea salt will remain, which will be very uncomfortable without fresh water to wash.

Only someone like Liu Haiyang, who has loved water since childhood and grew up in water, can get used to it.

After leaving the residence, Lu Heng asked the two Siren guards and learned that Sona had gone to Celian's residence.

Because of guarding the Heart of the Tide, Celian was seriously injured by Gilbert Occam's team and almost died. She finally hid in an underwater cave and survived by chance.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu came to a conch-shaped house. After saying hello, they went in and saw Sona treating Celian's wounds.

Celian was indeed seriously injured, her tail was almost cut off, and the wound has been bandaged now.

Sona is using [Heart of the Tides] to heal her.

Although the Sirens are a race that lives in the deep sea, judging from their appearance and organs, they should have been land creatures at first. Later they entered the ocean and slowly evolved into their current form.

Therefore, the Sirens still retain many characteristics of land creatures.

The way wounds heal is very similar to that of terrestrial organisms.

Therefore, after a sirens is injured, it usually stays in an air environment to allow the wound to heal faster.

Now Celian's residence is an air environment, and the seawater has been drained out.

After Lu Heng entered the door, he asked first: "Are you okay?"

Celian lay there twisting her long tail and said with a smile, "It's OK, I won't die, but my tail is disfigured."

Among the Sirens, there is a very special appearance culture.

The tail of the sirens is a very important organ. When evaluating a siren's appearance, in addition to appearance, whether the tail is beautiful is also a very important indicator.

Among the Sirens, the stronger the tail, the stronger the ability to survive in the ocean, and also represents a stronger sense of beauty.

In addition, there is the fin on the back of the tail, which is also very important.

Yes, the sirens have a "fin" on their tail that runs from the back to the tail.

This is why the sirens’ tails look more like fish tails.

Whether this fin stands up completely and high enough is also a criterion for whether the tail is beautiful.

Celian originally had a very beautiful tail, as exquisite as a work of art, which fascinated many sirens in the tribe.

However, this time she was seriously injured and her tail was almost cut off. Even if it healed, it would leave a hideous scar.

The fin on the tail was also cut off. When the fin was stood up in the future, one part was broken, which was considered a disfigured tail for the Sirens.

Lu Heng had heard about the Sirens’ special aesthetics from others before, and now he had a deeper understanding of it. He consoled them:
"This scar will become a glory, don't be so sad."

Celian laughed and said, "I'm not sad. Although I was injured, I helped the tribe protect the Sea God's Gem. This price is worth it."

After chatting for a while, Sona took the initiative to ask, "Why are you here? Is there anything else?"

Lu Heng got to the point: "I asked you for a map of the Tidal Sea before, do you remember?"

"Well, that map is the latest one, and the place names are marked in great detail. However, some reef islands will move slowly, and their positions may be slightly offset," said Sona.

"I saw the habitat of the black-scaled demon marked on the map. I still have three days to return. I plan to use these three days to visit the habitat of the black-scaled demon. I wanted to ask for your opinion." Lu Heng expressed his thoughts.

Sona and Celian showed surprise at the same time and blurted out: "You want to raid the Ubun Blue Cave?"

The place where the black-scaled demon lives is the Black Bone Blue Cave in the Tidal Sea.

Lu Heng's target was indeed there, so he nodded and replied, "Yes, we are going to go there and take a look at the situation."

Sona hesitated for a moment and reminded: "That place is very dangerous, you have to think carefully before making a decision."

Lu Heng asked: "Tell me about the situation of Wugulan Cave."

Sona turned to look at Celian and asked, "Do you have the energy to tell them?"

Celian nodded and said, "Sit down. I am probably the only one in the tribe who has been to the Ugur Blue Cave. Since you want to go, I will tell you what I saw."

She began to recall and narrate slowly: "Wugulan Cave is a huge group of underwater caves in the Tidal Sea, more than 700 kilometers north of our territory.

"From a bird's eye view, that place is a huge blue round hole, and the color in the center of the round hole will become darker and darker, and finally become ink-like black.

“It is said that the water in the Wugu Blue Cave is poisonous. If a whale falls into the Wugu Blue Cave, its flesh and blood will be corroded, leaving only bones floating out, and the bones will turn black.

“That’s also the origin of the name Wugulan Cave. Anyway, that place is very scary.

“About a dozen years ago, black-scaled demons began to appear near the Black Bone Blue Cave.

“We once had a conflict with the Black Scale Demon. One time, I was chasing a Black Scale Demon and broke into the Black Bone Blue Cave area, where I saw the skeletons of many creatures.

“The skeletons were all black, like a huge ocean graveyard.

“For ordinary marine creatures, once they step into the Wugu Blue Hole, there is almost no way they can survive.

“But the Black Scale Demons are very special. These creatures from the abyss can freely enter and exit the Black Bone Blue Cave, and their flesh and blood will not be corroded by the sea water.

“It’s also possible that the black-scaled demons have no flesh and blood at all. Maybe they were born in an environment full of toxins.

"Since then, our tribe has banned members from approaching the Wugulan Cave. We only patrol the sea area a hundred kilometers away from the Wugulan Cave and forbid the black-scaled demons from coming out of the Wugulan Cave."

After listening to her story, Lu Heng turned around and looked at Su Muyu, and they both realized the danger of this place.

“Are there many black-scaled demons around the Black Bone Blue Cave?”

Sona took over the conversation and answered, "A lot, but these black-scaled demons seem to be concentrated in the Ubunku Blue Cave and rarely go out. It is also for this reason that we have always maintained a relatively balanced state with the black-scaled demons.

"We don't provoke the black-scaled demons. The black-scaled demons are concentrated around the Black Bone Blue Cave and rarely step out of this area.

"The last time the black-scaled demons appeared, it was probably because the shadow demons were summoned by the abyss and actively drove them out to move around." The last time we were at the Moon Turbid Beach, we encountered a sudden attack by the black-scaled demons.

Normally, the Black Scale Demon would not approach the coastline. It should be driven by the Abyss Summoner.

Afterwards, Lu Heng asked a lot of questions about the Wugu Blue Cave. After collecting enough information, he returned to his residence and sat down with the team to discuss it again.

"I just asked the Sirens about the Black Bone Blue Cave. That place is far more dangerous than we thought, so I want to hear everyone's opinions on whether we should raid the Black Scale Demon territory." Lu Heng brought up the topic for everyone to discuss.

All team members expressed their opinions, and most of them wanted to go and see the situation.

Xie Shien is a cautious and calm person. After summarizing the information, he said, “Since it is so dangerous, we can consider launching a surprise attack on the Black Scale Demon Territory when the return time is approaching.

“If it’s really dangerous there, you can hold on until the return time and then teleport away. This way the safety factor will be higher.

"Also, before taking action, you can do some detective work to see the environment there."

Liu Haiyang nodded in agreement: "Yes, even if we don't launch an attack in the end, we can still go and take a look to understand the situation."

After discussion, a consensus was reached.

I will definitely go to Wugulan Cave, but whether to take the risk and break in will depend on the situation at that time.

In short, you won’t lose out if you take a look.

After things were settled, everyone began to make preparations separately.

Liu Haiyang took out a bag of magic pearls, tossed them in his hand, and said, "I exchanged them with crystal cores and sea monsters. This is their currency. I plan to go to their market to buy some things.

"Many of the Sirens' weapons and equipment are tailor-made for the ocean, and they are all good stuff."

The Sirens are a highly developed civilization, so the underwater tools, weapons, and equipment made by the Sirens can produce very unique effects in the sea.

Liu Haiyang has loved soaking in water since he was a child and is a firm supporter of marine enhancement.

So he took some crystal cores and exchanged them for magic pearls from the Siren.

Lin Zeyu took it curiously and took out a few to examine: "Is this the currency of the Siren Tribe?"

Liu Haiyang nodded: "Yes, the sirens raise a lot of pearl oysters in their territory, which specialize in producing this kind of magic pearls.

“This is their currency, and when necessary, the Sirens will eat the magic pearls to replenish their strength.

"I heard from them that chewing up the magic pearls and applying them to wounds can have a healing effect."

Before Lu Heng was teleported here, he had already explained to everyone about the Sirens' currency.

Therefore, everyone present knew that the currency of the Sirens was magic pearls, but they had not used these things before.

When I was teleported here, I met the High Priest Sona directly. After talking with her, I went ashore to the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom. I did not stay in the Siren’s territory for too long.

So I have never come into contact with this kind of magic pearl before.

Now that the mission in the Abyss Battlefield is completed, the rest of the time is relatively free.

Liu Haiyang and others wanted to bring back some specialties from the Siren World. If they wanted to buy something, they naturally had to exchange the currency here first.

Lin Zeyu was particularly interested in business and asked, "What is the purchasing power of these magic pearls? How much can this bag buy?"

Liu Haiyang had only exchanged a bag of magic pearls with the sea monster and had not yet gone shopping, so he did not know much about purchasing power. He replied, "I don't know. I'm going to ask at the market. Do you want to join us?"

"Let's go together." Lin Zeyu immediately became interested, so he followed Liu Haiyang and others to go shopping at the Siren Market.

Women have no resistance to shopping. Su Muyu was also eager to go shopping. She pulled Lu Heng's arm and asked, "How about we go and take a look too?"

Now that we have arrived in the world of sirens, it is necessary to take a look at their culture and markets.

I didn’t have time before because I had tasks to complete.

Now that I have some free time, I should definitely go and have a look.

Lu Heng agreed: "Okay."

However, Lu Heng really didn't want to soak in the sea water anymore, so he reached out and called Jiang Shaoran, who had already walked to the door, and said, "Give us a magic bubble."

Jiang Shaoran turned around and agreed: "Okay, but the magic bubble can only last for ten minutes... Forget it, I'll go with the leader."

As she spoke, she released a magic bubble for Lu Heng and Su Muyu.

This magical bubble can create air bubbles on the seabed and envelop land creatures.

As long as the bubbles do not break, they can isolate the sea water.

Jiang Shaoran's third job level is Tidecaller, and creating this kind of magic bubble is just one application of her job ability.

They left their residence and walked along the corridor of the Siren’s territory until they came to a market.

The market is not big, with less than a hundred shops, and its level of prosperity is nothing compared to the human world.

The goods sold in the Siren Market are mainly marine products.

For example, the food is usually fish meat, clam meat, and some by-products, such as shark skin, shark teeth, clam shells, etc.

Besides.

Crystal cores are also sold in the Sirens’ shops.

And most of them are water crystal cores.

Liu Haiyang and several other members of the Ocean Team rushed into the crystal core shop and couldn't get out.

Because there are so many types of water crystal cores here, all of which they need.

However, after Liu Haiyang asked about the price, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

too expensive!
The price of water crystal cores here is dozens or even hundreds of times more expensive than that of Blue Star.

The reason why this happens is simple.

Among the Sirens, the water crystal core is the most valuable, while the fire crystal core is the least valuable.

In the human world, it is just the opposite. Fire crystal cores are among the most expensive crystal cores, while water crystal cores, especially ocean crystal cores, are very cheap.

Although the water crystal cores in the Siren Clan’s shop are expensive, there are many types of water crystal cores here.

Because the output of crystal cores is related to the environment, the crystal cores precipitated by fire-type demons are basically fire-type crystal cores, while only ocean-type demons will produce ocean-type crystal cores.

The Tidal Sea has sea demons such as the Black Scale Demon, so it will naturally produce more types of marine crystal cores.

"Buy it. Buy it if you want. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem." Lin Zeyu slammed the table, took out a large pile of crystal cores, quenching materials, and forging materials, and asked the Siren merchant for the price, preparing to exchange them for the Siren's currency.
