Chapter 1418 - 1418 Another Change in the Merfolk’s Region (1)
Yun Feng originally wanted to pass quietly, but the situation of the border was much more tricky than she thought. Yun Feng had a feeling that most of the merfolk’s troops were deployed on the border and had been guarding against something tightly. If Yun Feng broke in, it would definitely cause trouble. Yun Feng thought for a moment. There would be endless trouble if she broke in. It was better to walk out normally.
There were a few small cities on the border of the merfolk. These few small cities formed the border of the territory of the merfolk. Yun Feng came to one of the cities called Luojie. When she entered the city gate, she felt a serious atmosphere. The merfolk were very strict and meticulous when they examined every one of them. Yun Feng was glad that she had the aura of a Magic Beast inside her body, or she wouldn’t have been able to pass it with the Transformation Potion.
Mu Canghai was a bit troublesome. Yun Feng originally thought that he could pass easily without any aura, but under the current tight inspection, in order to avoid any accidents, Yun Feng put Mu Canghai into the Dragon Palace. Meatball on her shoulder also entered the bracelet space reluctantly and removed everything with Yun Feng’s obvious characteristics. Only then did Yun Feng enter Luojie successfully.
Luojie was one of the few cities on the border. Due to its geographical location, this city was full of members of the Sea Clan who came and went. Most of them were merfolk. Of course, a very small number of them were members of other Sea Clans. After Yun Feng entered Luojie, she attracted a lot of attention, because she looked undoubtedly like a human being except for her eyes. The merfolk didn’t transform into complete humans. Without a fishtail, Yun Feng certainly attracted a lot of attention in this city.
Very soon, merfolk soldiers came up to investigate strictly. Yun Feng didn’t have any flaws at all. After the merfolk soldiers left, Yun Feng went straight out of the city gate, wanting to leave this place in the shortest time possible. However, she was surprised to find that there were even more troops stationed at the exit of the city! Such an arrangement of troops obviously didn’t make sense. Something seemed to have happened to the merfolk, or they wouldn’t be so heavily guarded. Yun Feng also caught a detail. Every member of the Sea Clan who left the city would show something to the guards, so that they could pass safely.
Yun Feng quietly withdrew from the line. It seemed that it wasn’t enough for her to have this Magic Beast aura. She still needed something important, or she wouldn’t be able to leave the city at all.
In a resting place that looked like an inn in Luojie, Yun Feng sat in a corner. The commotion caused by her arrival had already dissipated. The merfolk in the hall continued to talk loudly and didn’t pay much attention to Yu Feng.
“The guards have been really strict during this period of time. I’m a bit breathless.”
“Why are you breathless? It’s the ones who have to leave the city that should be breathless!”
“I heard that a few of the people who left the city were detained because they lacked a compass. They’re even being interrogated strictly!”
Yun Feng raised her brows. A compass? If she wanted to leave the city, she had to get a compass first. She glanced at the few people who were talking with her black eyes and continued to listen quietly.
“Why are they so strict? They make me panic.”
“You don’t know about that? Do you remember the human who broke in here many years ago and the king issued a bounty?”
“Yes! Of course! It’s a human called Yun Feng. The king’s bounty order is still here. Why are you talking about this?”
“You still don’t understand? There must be a connection!”
“So, did another human break in?”
“Ah, who knows? In my opinion, do those humans have nothing better to do? Why did they run to the Endless Ocean for no reason? Don’t they know that they’re not welcome here? They’re all here to die.”
“Hahaha, you’ll have to ask the humans! I’m a bit enlightened by what you said. Perhaps a human really broke in again. Yun Feng still hasn’t been found. If the human who broke in this time escapes again, the king and those elders will probably lose face.”
“You should stop there!”
Si Wen was fine, but the two elders with red and white fins were a different story.
Yun Feng didn’t want to meddle in other people’s business. She should take care of her own business first. Since that human could break in, they certainly had the ability to escape. What she needed to do right now was to get this thing called the compass. Without it, she wouldn’t be able to get out of the city.
“Master Tu, you’re here!” After the greeting, the few merfolk who were talking just then all looked back. Yun Feng also looked over and saw a very fat merfolk walking in. The scales on the lower half of his fishtail were shiny. His entire body felt like it was being propped up and there was a hint of exhaustion on his face.
“Damn it, I’ve been exhausted these days.” Master Tu swung his fishtail and sat on one of the chairs as soon as he came in, saying unhappily. The others only raised the corners of their mouths when they heard that. Yun Feng’s black eyes glittered. Master Tu must be a key figure in Luojie City.
“Master Tu, you’ve worked hard. I wonder how long this vigilance will last?”
Master Tu said in frustration, “Who knows what the higher-ups are doing? They sent so many troops here for no reason. I’m panicking.”
