"I feel like there is something" ahead.

What made Shannon surprised was that he had racked his brains to find any excuses to explain this abnormal behavior. As a result, the mermaid didn't wait for him to finish, but only looked at him fixedly, and then asked intimately "Would you like me to take you there?"

I don't know why, the mermaid was so abnormal, but Shanuo felt a little uncomfortable.

Probably because the mermaid's indulgence for the reason he had existed became more obvious, right?

Shannuo had a guilty conscience, he nodded, and the mermaid hugged him, and swung the fish tail in the direction he was pointing.

In the process, Shannon saw the white spots in the river when he first entered the Chamber of Secrets. They seemed to feel the mermaid's breath, and they avoided it far before they approached.

"What are those?" Shano asked curiously.

"They're bald crocodile." The mermaid took a look, not too concerned, "a small creature that doesn't have much damage."

Xia Nuoxin thought it was true, but did not know that in the eyes of mermaids, few creatures were considered powerful.

The "little creatures without much lethality" in his mouth, cruel nature, blood-thirsty, like group hunting, no matter how powerful creatures, once they fall into their territory, it is impossible to escape unharmed.

They guarded the river from anyone, and for so long it was unknown how many lives had been swallowed, and even many high-level monsters were killed in their mouths.

If they can speak, knowing the mermaid's evaluation of them, I am afraid they can't help but protest?

However, the mermaid did not care about their thoughts. He took the boy to swim deeper and deeper, until he entered a narrow passage, which was far away from the entrance of the back room.

As the space became narrower and narrower, Shannon couldn't help feeling a little dull. Before this time, he had just waited for him to speak, and the mermaid created a lot of fresh water vapor just like in the underground passage.

As we walked in, the eyes became darker and darker, and the mermaid's eyes glowed blue in the dark passages.

Shanuo couldn't help looking into his eyes, but found something that made him wonder what to do. From the beginning, the mermaid was watching him intently. There was something moving in Shanno's eyes. Emotions.

"you"

Do you like me

He stopped talking, and the cryptic guess was suddenly determined at this time, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Shh-" The mermaid's index finger rested on her lips. "Don't say it."

Now is not a good time.

He wasn't sure what he would do, whether the teenager could give him a satisfactory answer.

He may not be able to bear the boy's rejection, but if the boy promises that what he is more likely to do now is to keep the boy in a place where no one knows-his beloved treasure must be carefully protected and treasured by him.

But that would definitely be hated by teenagers, right? The mermaid thought so, but temporarily maintained this delicate balance until he could hide the thought perfectly.

In the dark, Shanno could not see the radian of the mermaid's lips.

He didn't know what the mermaid thought, but was relieved, because he didn't know how to face the mermaid once he talked about it.

Let's do this for the time being

Shannon's head was buried like an ostrich, and the brain circuit subtly overlapped with the mermaid.

It was at this time that they had reached the end of the river.

The passageway is an upward slope, and at the end is a narrow hole. The mermaid hugged the boy from his head, and Shanuo looked at the scene in front of him with a surprised expression.

Compared to the previous secret room, it is more appropriate to be called here. Because there is no other way to enter here except the hole they came out of.

In this not very spacious space, fluffy green grass without ankles grows on the ground. A large tree grows from the gap in the wall. Because the space is limited, the crown can only be filled like a vine The top of the entire space.

In addition, there are many unknown plants. Glowing fungi grow on the walls and illuminate the entire space. Although it is unknown how they survive in the absence of sunlight and moisture, some plant conditions are not good, but They are stubbornly rooted here, with no sign of imminent death.

The most eye-catching is a man lying on the stone bed.

The skin around his body showed a vibrant new green, with strange lines drawn on it. He had sharp ears different from ordinary people, with six fingers on his hands and feet.

"Treeman?"

After looking at the murals at the entrance of the maze and the maze of the demon king, Xia Nuo was basically familiar with these characteristics of the Treant. Now when he saw the man, he recognized it immediately.

but

"Have you noticed?" Shano carefully looked at the treant's face and asked the mermaid with some hesitation. "This treant looks exactly like the duke?"

Although he had only seen the duke's side, and Shuren's face had disturbing lines, but shaving them away, Shano could be sure that there was no difference between the two.

"Well, it's the same." The mermaid nodded, confirming the boy's guess.

"Are they alone? Or are they twins? But the Duke is obviously not a treeman?" Shannon muttered to himself in anguish.

The mermaid is a race that does not like intermarriage with foreign races, so the Duchess married a duke who is also a mermaid, so in theory, the two should not be the same person or twins.

Unless the duke's declared identity was false, Shano saw his fishtail again

"Can other species camouflage adult fish?"

Shannon made a less reliable guess: would the Duke's fishtail be fake?

The mermaid could easily guess what he was thinking: "Yes, and it's easy. But the duke we saw is indeed a genuine mermaid, and this is not false."

"What do we see?" Shannon keenly grasped the point. "You mean that the original Duke was not a mermaid, he was disguised? Is this the real Duke?"

He has been poisoned by the dog blood TV series in the real world for a long time. In his mind, a lot of identity swapping and impostor ostentatious dramas suddenly appeared in his mind. The sight of Shuren could not help but be full of sympathy.

"None of them." The mermaid completely denied his guess. "To be precise, the Duke is indeed the one we see, because it is he who inherits the title, and this tree-man-"

The mermaid deliberately prolonged the tone, and after slowing the appetite of the teenager, he slowly said the truth: "——The true identity is the son of the Duke."

"Ah?" Shannon's mouth opened slightly, and it felt more surprising than the speculation that "The Shuren are the dukes' brothers."

Then he heard from the mermaid's mouth a story that made him extremely messy.

This story roughly tells that the last duke, the duke they saw at the banquet, fell in love with a tree-tree girl in his early years.

The Shuren tribe is also a race unwilling to marry foreigners, and the girl of the Shuren tribe, despite being pursued by the Duke very enthusiastically, still dislikes him and has rejected him countless times.

But the mermaids are often paranoid emotionally. The duke designed to cheat the tree-human girl, imprisoned her in this closet, and let her give birth to a son for him.

The treant girl couldn't stand the torture and eventually chose to commit suicide. After the treant girl died, the duke seemed to be awake from the passionate love, and the whole person's temperament changed greatly.

Because in his early years his pursuit of the Shuren was almost everyone's knowledge, the duke was excluded from the clan, and if his son knew his son was a Shuren, they might even deprive him of his title.

The Duke quickly came up with a solution.

He announced to the outside that he had married a mermaid wife, and the wife had given birth to a son for him, but he protected them so tightly that no outsider had ever seen the presence of the two.

Then, when the duke found a suitable time, he announced the death of his wife and his wife, and the son inherited his title. Then he reappeared as the duke's son and married the current duchess.

His real son, however, was locked in this dark room and fell asleep.

"This, this" Shanuo gaped, almost speechless, "This duke is too scum?"

Not only did he kill the person he liked, but he also lied so much for his status, replaced his son's identity, and even imprisoned his son.

No wonder he doesn't often appear in front of people, and he doesn't want to talk too much! Should he be afraid to reveal his identity?

The mermaid hugged him and floated to the surface. Xia Nuochi stood on the grass with bare feet, keeping a safe distance to look at the treeman in front of him.

"Can he wake up?" Shano asked curiously.

"Of course you can." The mermaid was sitting by the cave, his tail immersed in the water, he pulled Shanor into his arms, and made a protective gesture, but his eyes were on the tree man on the stone bed, "Actually He is sober now. "

"Ah?" Shanuo opened his yoyo eyes and looked stupid. "But"

"Chang'an" the mermaid sighed softly, and he nodded the boy's forehead quite funny. "I just said the Duke imprisoned him here, but never said that the Duke put him to sleep."

However, due to the preconceived notion, Shanuo saw that Shuren was lying on the bed and thought he could not wake up by himself.

But since he is awake, why should he lie in bed and sleep? And those words they just said have been heard by Shuren?

Shano suddenly developed a dilemma of talking about others being caught in person.

The treeman heard the mermaid reveal his camouflage and stopped pretending to sleep. When he turned over, he sat up and stared at the two uninvited guests: "Who are you?"

"Does it matter who we are?" Mermaid asked, "You should really want to escape, right?"

The Treant has a cat-like erect pupil. When looking at people, it seems inexplicable: "You don't know my story well? Who would want to be locked up here and never leave!"

"In this case, let's make a deal." Mermaid glanced at the boy in his arms and smiled, "I can take you out, provided that you give me a moonlight tree seed."

Shannon froze, and did not expect Mermaid to make such a request.

"I promised you before that I would take you to the territory of the Shuren tribe." The mermaid was waiting for the answer from the Shuren, and rubbed Shano's fluffy head. . "
