Chapter 997: Into the Darkness

Jeno depicts the worries of the elders of the clan, who are not ignorant, and who do not ignore some obvious things.

"Grandma Patriarch, do you remember the selection rules of the Tide Evoker, only one of the strongest warriors is selected to enter the abyss, and the more people who enter the abyss to find pearls, the more difficult it will be. But do you know why? For they are all corrupted and turned into enemies, just like Rasha! ”

Before that, Nami had quietly informed her of the news that Rasha had been corrupted into a monster by the power of the abyss, which made her wonder if the mermaids who died in the abyss in history were still watching in the dark?

They will know the weakness of the village, and if they come back and attack the tribesmen, how can the mermen guard against it?

The old woman looked at the moonstone and sighed.

"We've just found peace before we're going to fight?" She asked herself, but she knew the answer very clearly.

They live so close to the Abyss that when the Void strikes, they can't respond at all, they just let it be slaughtered.

And now is the best chance to deal with this threat, with the help of the Star Spirits, which is far safer than fighting the Void alone. The star spirit has not been seen for thousands of years, and if you miss this opportunity, you may not encounter it in the future.

The mermaids only need to send some warriors to fight with the star spirits, and they are not as strong as before, and the danger is even lower than looking for pearls.

And take a step back and think about it, even if the battle fails, and there is still the moonstone guarding the exit of the abyss, those monsters will still be suppressed in the dark, and they will only lose some manpower.

Sometimes, the choice is not difficult, but the determination to make the choice.

The old woman inserted her wand into the seabed and turned to shout, signaling for the people to be quiet.

Loud and authoritative voices echoed in the water, and the mermaids fell silent, except for the gurgling of some exhaled bubbles.

"Everyone's seen it, these friends from the land, they want to go down into the abyss and destroy the things in the dark."

The old woman's voice rang out, and Leona and Diana stood majestically on either side of Jeno, the stars shining brightly and dazzlingly.

But the coolness of the exterior isn't very convincing.

"Isn't the abyss a forbidden place for mermaids? We are not allowed to go down normally, so how can we let outsiders go down? ”

"That's right! No one is allowed to break the taboo! ”

There was a lot of discussion among the sharks, and they all agreed on the same axiom about the forbidden land, that is, only the tide caller who was looking for pearls could enter. This axiom is engraved on the totem poles on both sides of the abyss, and those textures tell the legend of the tide caller.

"That can't be said, what is in the abyss not only threatens the survival of the merman, but also threatens the entire Runeterra, and everyone can't get out." Jeno had to open his mouth to correct them, these mermaids seemed to regard this abyss as their private property, and those who didn't know thought that Jeno was a thief who had come to steal pearls.

"There is no doubt about the strength of the Star Spirit, and we should be glad that someone thinks so about us. Now I leave the choice to you. The old woman coughed heavily, and her voice was loud: "Clansmen! Are you willing to follow the Star Spirit to the depths of the abyss and face the Void? Trade your bravery for the long-term peace and stability of our people! ”

Silence is like the abyss tonight, the sharks look at each other, silent.

In fact, Jeno doesn't care if these mermaids go or not, he just needs Nami to lead the way, and this has been finalized before.

"I do! The tides always follow the moon! Sure enough, Nami was the first to raise the Staff of the Tide Evoker and loudly swore her position.

With Nami as an example, the mermaid boys who were also eager to prove themselves in the selection of the Tide Caller also raised their hands. Then there are those prime mermen who, after careful consideration, decided to contribute to the stability of future generations......

In the end, dozens of young and middle-aged mermaids decided to follow the Star Spirit to the depths of the abyss, which was not easy for this small village with a small population.

"Good, good! You are all warriors of my people! The old woman caressed Nami's young cheek with relief, and there was no doubt that the Tide Caller returning from the abyss was the most suitable person to lead the merman at the moment.

"Without further ado, let's go home and get ready, bring food and weapons, and set off while the morale is high now!"

As the old woman's voice fell, the mermaids gathered in the center of the village dispersed for the time being, and the old and weak women and children who had not joined the expedition also went home to talk to their respective family members, for fear that they would not be able to speak in the future.

Jeno saw Nami's mother swim up to the side and talk to her, all of which were familiar advices. Nami took off her crown and pressed her forehead against her mother, enjoying a moment of peace.

People's hearts are full of flesh, and the same is true for mermaids. Disturbing the mother-daughter relationship in front of him made Jeno feel like a sinner.

"Wouldn't it be too cruel for me to come here out of the blue, and let them make such a decision?" He turned his head and stared into the abyss, only the darkness in front of him could make him firm.

"I don't know how to answer you, I don't have parents, my best friend fights for me, and to be honest I'm happy with where I'm now." Diana's answer was somewhat aloof, but she really had nothing to ask for.

"This feels like watching the closest people go to the Giant God Peak, knowing that it is almost like sending them to death, but there is nothing they can do." Leona said thoughtfully.

"So who ended up catching up? Don't talk so nicely about tracking. ”

Jeno was speechless for a while, he was just looking for a comfort, but he was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food by this pair of Ji friends. Only Kai'Sa looked at her silently, and she must have been the only one who had just separated from her father who could understand her feelings.

By the time dawn came, all the mermaids had assembled in the center of the village. Nami waved the staff of the Tide Caller in her hand, and dozens of young mermaids followed her, swimming towards the darkness beyond the reach of the light.

The swinging fishtail stirred up a series of bubbles behind him, obscuring the eager vision of the clansmen behind them, and the farther away from the moonstone, the greater the water pressure around them, and the darker the world in front of them, and soon there was only a burst of nothingness in their crimson eyes.

Even sharks who grew up in the sea will breed fear when they come to unfamiliar waters. And when something goes wrong with your mindset, it's easy to get lost in the dark.

In the darkness, a shadow surged beside him, and the water it stirred made the nearby mermaids shudder and move away. But where can they go? They couldn't see each other, and any movement caused a shudder, even if it was just a stirring wave of water between the clansmen.

Unconsciously, their front is becoming more and more scattered......
