Chapter 1674 The Mermaid Princess (3)
The main city of the Sea Emperor.
It was a very magnificent, very gorgeous, very magical super underwater city.
In the center of the city is a crystal clear giant crystal palace.
It seems to be carved out of a whole piece of crystal as huge as a mountain. Its appearance is uncanny, and it can be called a work of art.
If there is no accident, it is the palace of the emperor of the sea clan.
With the Crystal Palace as the center, the imperial city expanded to a huge extent in all directions.
In the city, houses built by giant conch and seashells can be seen everywhere, doors and windows decorated with colorful corals, and dots of pearls inlaid on the roof, like a fairy tale world, beautiful and magnificent.
The street is soft white sand, and there are many half-man, half-fish sea people walking through it.
There are "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" with tortoise shells, "Shrimp Soldier and Crab General" with crab claws and shrimp tails, and "Bai Suzhen" who is half human and half snake.
Sure enough, as Ao Liancheng said, the appearance of the mermaid tribe is very strange and very interesting. Only Chen Xiaobei can't think of it, and there is no mermaid tribe leader who can't come out.
"Prince Liancheng! You are finally back! Several princes are looking for you everywhere!"
At this moment, a guy who almost made Chen Xiaobei burst into laughter swam over quickly.
I saw that the upper body of that guy was a big fat man, with fat head and big ears, like a little Maitreya, but the lower body turned out to be the body of Pippi Shrimp!
"What happened?" Ao Liancheng asked with a frown.
The fat man said eagerly: "The Antarctic ocean current is changing, and the 'that thing' seems to be preparing to go north!"
"What! So fast!"
Ao Liancheng's expression became serious in an instant, with a trace of panic in his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Boss Pi, help me take care of Mr. Chen, he is my distinguished guest, don't neglect him!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the words fell, Ao Liancheng turned into a scarlet shadow and rushed towards the city's loyal Crystal Palace.
The octopus man also said nervously: "Mr. Chen, let Manager Pi take you around for now. I must go back to the Intelligence Department immediately! Don't worry, I will try my best to find the person you are looking for!"
After finishing speaking, the octopus man also hurriedly left.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xiaobei was slightly taken aback: "You actually left me and ran away? Did you stop seeing a doctor?"
Director Pi said respectfully: "Young Master Chen, there is an urgent matter in the palace. Prince Liancheng may not be back for a while, so I will entertain you for the time being. If you need anything, just tell me!"
"I don't need anything..."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and asked, "Can you tell me, what is 'that thing'?"
"This... this is not allowed..." Director Pi said nervously: "Mr. Chen is a distinguished guest, you must not interfere with the matter of 'that thing', and you must not know about it!"
"Understood, I'm just an outsider, I shouldn't ask these questions..." Chen Xiaobei nodded, frowning.
"Shall I show you around?" Mr. Pi said, "Eating, drinking, entertainment, whatever you want to do, I can take you there!"
Chen Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, glanced around, and suddenly said pleasantly: "Pipi Shrimp! Let's go!"
"Ah?" Mr. Pi was stunned.
"Oh no...President Pi, let's go!" Chen Xiaobei said excitedly.
"Where are you going..." Mr. Pi looked confused.
Soon, Chen Xiaobei came to the door of a shop.
Right above the gate, there is a plaque with three large characters 'Longyan Pavilion' written on it!
"Director Pi, is this a place that sells Long Yanxiang?" Chen Xiaobei asked impatiently.
"It's not for sale, it's for gambling!" Mr. Pi said, "If Mr. Chen is interested, you can go in and have a look!"
"Gambling? How does Long Yanxiang gamble? I really want to see it!" Chen Xiaobei grinned and walked in excitedly.
As soon as you enter the store, you can see black stones of many sizes, the small ones are like fists, and the big ones are like water tanks. Moreover, they have different colors, shapes and textures.
"Aren't these Long Yanxiang?" Chen Xiaobei asked with a frown.
Director Pi smiled and said: "Young Master Chen doesn't know that Long Yanxiang precipitated near the spiritual veins of the seabed. The short time is ten thousand years, and the longest is a million years. The surface layer is covered with sand and stones, which accumulate over time to form a rock shell. "
"You mean, as long as these stones are broken, you can get Long Yanxiang?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"In theory yes, but in practice no!"
Manager Pi said: "Betting on Long Yanxiang is like betting on stones in other star fields. After you choose a piece, you pay to buy it first, and then cut it open to see. If you have Long Yanxiang, you will gain, if you don't have it, you will lose!"
"It turned out to be stone gambling!" Chen Xiaobei was slightly startled, and said, "I don't understand one thing. The stone gambling industry in other star regions is very popular. How can the business of gambling on Long Yanxiang be so deserted?"
At this moment, in the huge shop, there were only Chen Xiaobei and Manager Pi, not even a shop assistant could be seen.
It is conceivable that the business here is really so bad that no one cares about it.
Manager Pi sighed, and said: "Originally, the business here was the hottest in the city! But a few months ago, there was a problem with the supply of goods! When the stone was cut, most of it was empty. At most ten-thousand-year class, there are almost no advanced ones!"
"Gambling is to make a big fortune with a small amount. Without the high-level Long Yanxiang, the gamblers will naturally lose interest! The problem of the supply of goods has not been resolved, and slowly, the place has completely become deserted."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei was a little taken aback, and asked, "Is the source of goods related to 'that thing'?"
"This..." Director Pi frowned slightly, unable to answer.
"If you guess correctly, His Majesty's injury is also related to 'that thing'!" Chen Xiaobei said.
"You...how did you know?" Mr. Pi was stunned: "This is the top secret of our clan!"
"Ao Liancheng invited me here to treat His Majesty the Holy Emperor."
Chen Xiaobei said: "Besides, Ao Liancheng also said before that right now, the Sea Emperor Clan can't even get Long Yanxiang who is 30,000 to 50,000 years old! He said, this is the Sea Emperor Clan's secret, if I If His Majesty the Holy Emperor can be cured, he will tell me the secret!"
"So that's how it is..." Director Pi nodded and admitted: "You guessed right, Long Yanxiang's supply problem, and His Majesty's injury are all related to 'that thing'! But I can't tell you, What the hell is that!"
"Don't worry! I won't force you to say it." Chen Xiaobei shrugged, and said, "Ao Liancheng won't come back for a while, and he's idle too. Let's take a gamble first?"
"Who wants to bet on Long Yanxiang?"
At this moment, a very pleasant female voice came from the back room behind the shop.
"Huh? Why is Your Highness the Princess here?" Director Pi was stunned and asked in surprise.
"Princess?" Chen Xiaobei was also taken aback, and asked curiously, "Princess Mermaid? What does she look like?"
