Chapter 1418: Chapter 406: Dragon Clan Stone Pillar_3

The distant circular waterfall river "hua la la" created a noisy spray of water, as dozens of graceful figures emerged from the water, stepping onto the shore with splashes, waving vigorously towards the Flower Elves, greeting them warmly. The sound of the waterfall was too loud to make out what they were saying.

Liu Zhenhan’s exceptional vision allowed him to spot that these people, emerging from the water, all had beautiful blonde hair, young and old alike. Regardless of gender or age, their faces were stunningly beautiful.

"Dammit, Emperor Polo!" he cursed under his breath, seeing the distinct red scales on the legs of those gorgeous men and women emerging from the water.

The clothing made of waterweed fibers couldn’t conceal their exquisite figures, which was especially striking against their overly pale and delicate skin.

"These are freshwater Mermaids," Mourinho turned to Liu Zhenhan with a smile: "This might also be the last group of freshwater Mermaids in existence. I only recently discovered this! Although the Flower Elves possess excellent Magic Command skills, their small stature makes them poor fighters. In the Southern Cross Star Forest, known as a Magical Beast paradise, they wouldn’t have a chance to survive if it wasn’t for their reliance on these freshwater Mermaids!"

"Are the Flower Elves and freshwater Mermaids on good terms?" Liu Zhenhan, a bit enviously, glanced at Mourinho after seeing the Flower Elves joyfully flying towards the distant circular river: "Does it mean that whenever the Flower Elves move, these freshwater Mermaids have to move as well?"

"From what I’ve observed recently, the bond between the freshwater Mermaids and the Flower Elves is incredibly strong," Mourinho chuckled with his arms crossed. "Mermaids are natural-born Water Element Mages, and with Magic Conductor like the Flower Elves by their side, their combat power skyrockets. This time, the chieftains of the Flower Elves and freshwater Mermaids, along with their adult warriors, have gone to the very front of the Standard Chartered Gorge to the Elf Tribe base, joining hands to resist the Fallen Tribe!"

"Sounds like a good relationship!"

"Since they have relied on each other for many years, I believe they’ll stick together through thick and thin!" the old swan retracted his gaze, leisurely scrutinizing Liu Zhenhan.

"Instructor..." Liu Zhenhan smacked his lips, frowning in confusion: "It’s true that Mermaids can have legs once they leave the water, but they should have lost their ability to speak, right? Why do I see them talking so warmly with Elder Cech?"

"Just yesterday, I had dinner with the elder of the freshwater Mermaids. You might not know this, but the freshwater Mermaid tribe has long invented a technique using Magic Crystals to inscribe personal Water Barriers," the swan high priest seemed a bit show-off about his upcoming gains. "Richard, now the freshwater Mermaids simply need to splash themselves every twelve hours to avoid returning to the water; this level far surpasses the House Hippopotamus people of our Beamon clan, doesn’t it?"

"How many freshwater Mermaids are living in this waterfall river? And how many Flower Elves are there?" Liu Zhenhan picked his nose vigorously, he also remembered that Avril had mentioned at the Mani Temple in the Cambridge Oasis that the freshwater Mermaids had invented a method to leave the water.

"There are a little over two hundred Flower Elves, and slightly fewer freshwater Mermaids, probably around a hundred," Mourinho knew what the Shaman of Divine Songs was getting at and smiled wryly.

"Flower Elves are Exorcists, freshwater Mermaids are natural Water Element Mages, plus they have racial magic barriers! Even if we ignore such gains as the Wild Dwarves and Tuskal People, my dear instructor, you’ve made a killing this time!" Liu Zhenhan enviously wished he could smear his booger on the old swan’s face: "I finally understand why you were so determined to bring the Fallen Tribe to the Donau Wasteland, you really do think long-term!"

"Hehe..." Mourinho smiled and shook his head. "Richard, don’t credit me with such crafty planning; I had no idea I would gain so much at the beginning! Not at all! Let me tell you another fact, due to the proximity of these freshwater Mermaids to the Ten Star Pearl Cold Pool, they have mastered the variable Water Element spells, possessing more offensive Frost Magic!"

"Indeed, a life of hardship can temper people, they really were pushed to their limit!" Although Liu Zhenhan knew he should aim for the "Eternal Moon Well" and the "Tree of Life," he couldn’t help but feel resentful inside. Mourinho’s luck was just too good!

That’s the way the world works; I’m not afraid of you getting rich, but it’s infuriating when you earn big gold while I can’t.

A heron preening its feathers on the snowy reed leaves became Liu Zhenhan’s target for venting his frustration, as he snatched a pine nut from Guoguo’s hand and "smack" hit the unfortunate bird.

A heron plummeting headfirst into the emerald waters instantly turned into an ice sculpture as it neared the surface, with light blue Ice Crystals spreading so quickly they dazzled the eye.

"Damn!" Liu Shocking stared at the bobbing icy lump on the water, mouth agape in astonishment.

Mermaids from the freshwater, who had been chatting with the Flower Elf, also seemed too hesitant to step wet-footed into the icy range of the cold pool; after a long-winded conversation, they waved their hands and leapt back into the river.

The Flower Elf elder Cech flew over to greet Liu Shocking, Mourinho, and Queen Liv, not delaying further, he quickly directed a large group of Flower Elves to excavate the hard-frozen ground.

The frozen soil along the bank of the cold pool was as tough as stone. The diminutive Flower Elves, swinging their arms with full force and striking with their spades, only managed to leave shallow white marks, yet their movements retained an elegant fragility.

Seeing Mourinho join in with his guards to help, Liu Shocking felt too lazy to lend a hand and stood off to the side, smilingly puffing on a cigar as he exchanged winks and grimaces with Lampard and Beckham.

Liu Shocking cast extra glances towards the cold pool on the left, where it was said Elise’s body lay submerged.

The six-sided stone pillar in the middle of the pool had a beautifully patterned iron chain wrapped around it, presumably the rope that bound Elise’s body.

Guoguo was munching on pecans, tossing the shells into the pool with a series of "plops."

"Don’t play with the water recklessly." Mourinho glanced up, shaking his long sword free of frozen clumps of soil and ice, as a group of Flower Elves also stopped their work, their gazes angry.

Old Liu flapped Guoguo’s big ears; within the deep, secluded cold pools and ravines of the primitive forest, there might well be powerful and terrifying Magical Beasts lurking. Although such creatures seemed out of place in an icy pool, the Swan High Priest’s teachings were utterly correct.

Suddenly, a huge ripple formed in the center of the pool, and a long, thick python-like shadow flashed beneath the water, splashing a torrent of icy waves about. The water, formerly inscribed with intricate runes, was now thrown into chaos.

"Damn! Can’t be that coincidental, right?" Liu Shocking was stunned. This place was, after all, the dwelling site of freshwater Mermaids and Flower Elves!

"Actually, these are Dragon Clan symbols," Axianu, who had been perched silently on Liu Shocking’s shoulder up until now, suddenly pointed out, referring to the dense intricate runes on the six-sided stone pillar in the middle of the river.
