Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2441

954: Life is worse than death

“She used to be my teacher…” Zuan fell into memories, and the scene of meeting her in the pavilion outside the academy emerged in his mind.

At that time, he had just traveled to that world. Not only was his status low and he was looked down upon, but he also had a lot of restrictions on his body. It was a hellish start. The appearance of her was a rare bright color.

“Teacher-student love?” The mermaid queen’s breathing suddenly became rapid. Although the other party had not yet said the details, she had already imagined a heart-wrenching love.

The two were in a teacher-student relationship, and there must be many worldly obstacles.

And she was very curious, what kind of woman could be his teacher?

You know, after these days of contact, Zuan is already the most mysterious, most advanced, and most knowledgeable man she has ever seen.

She can’t imagine which woman can teach such an outstanding disciple, and he is also a descendant of the mermaid clan.

“Are my descendants so powerful?” For a moment, the mermaid queen doubted her life.

Seeing her expression, Zuan guessed what she was thinking and couldn’t help but smile: “It’s not what you think. She mainly taught me music. We met because of a song.”

Now there is endless white fog around him, and now the world is a slice of time and space. He can’t help but feel lonely and homesick.

So he took out a xiao that he carried with him and gently played the song “The Original Scenery of Hometown”. The gray and dead air around him seemed to be regular and orderly under the influence of this song. It was no longer a vast expanse of pale white, as if it had turned into white clouds in the sky.

Hearing the melodious and slightly sad song, the mermaid queen was controlled for several minutes.

After the song ended, Zuan said, “We met because of this song.”

The mermaid queen couldn’t help but sigh, “No wonder she fell in love with you. She probably had a deep liking for you the first time she heard this song.”

Zuan was a little surprised: “How do you know I played this song for her.”

The mermaid queen smiled slightly: “Because this song is very different from the musical style of our mermaid clan, but it is novel and beautiful. It is definitely not something that the woman from the mermaid clan can play.”

“The queen is indeed proficient in music.” Zuan couldn’t help but admire. The mermaids are born musicians. No matter whether it is Shang Liuyu, Shang Hongyu, or Gong Suyin in front of him, they are all absolute geniuses in this regard.

Looking into Zuan’s eyes, the mermaid queen suddenly asked, “Does that woman look like me?”

Feeling the expectation in her burning eyes, Zuan couldn’t bear to ignore her for a moment: “Yes, they do look alike.”

In fact, after getting along for a long time, he slowly noticed the differences between the two. At first glance, they do look alike, but after getting familiar with each other, he can still find that there are many subtle differences, each with its own beauty.

Although she had guessed this answer long ago, after getting the other party’s confirmation, the mermaid queen was both happy and worried.

She was happy that he fell in love with someone who looked like her, and she was worried that the woman looked so similar to her, so she might have some blood relationship.

No!

Thinking of that possibility, the mermaid queen’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

“What’s her name…”

She was about to ask, but Zuan suddenly exclaimed, looking down, obviously discovering something.

The mermaid queen looked down and found a broken formation below. It seemed that this should be one of the several important formations of the sea clan to suppress the sea eye.

At this time, the formation had been damaged by one-third of its size, and the entire formation was only emitting a faint light, and it was obvious that it could collapse completely at any time.

However, what concerned the two was that there were many monsters with painful expressions around the formation. These monsters looked different from the monsters that had been killed on the ground before. They looked like dragons and lizards. They held their heads and wailed miserably, and many were even rolling on the ground.

“What kind of monsters are these?” The mermaid queen was shocked. The monsters suppressed by the sea eye were endless, and no one knew what abilities they had. If they ran out, they might cause another bloody storm.

“They are not monsters,” Zuan said with a complicated expression and a sigh in his tone. “If I am right, they should be the group of garrisons that came down before.”

“What!” The mermaid queen hurriedly looked over, and then she noticed that some of the monsters still had some broken armor and clothes on them, which were indeed the garrisons’ attire before.

“How could they become like this?” The mermaid queen’s eyes were instantly moist. Seeing those loyal warriors become like this, she felt particularly uncomfortable.

“The reason why this formation can barely maintain and not completely collapse should be the credit of these defenders,” Zuan glanced around and quickly judged, “They burned their lives and faith to fight against the death energy, trying to repair the formation here and re-suppress the sea eye. Unfortunately, their life and faith are limited, while the death energy around them is infinite.”

“Under the erosion of this endless death energy, they gradually lost their minds, but they are defenders after all, and they did not die completely. Instead, their bodies were transformed by the death energy and gradually became such monsters.”

The reason why he recognized them was because he had seen them in the future.

At that time, in the hidden temple of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, there were such stone statues on both sides.

Later, when they sensed the invasion of foreign enemies, the stone statues began to crack, and these dragon-lizard-like “monsters” appeared one after another.

At that time, they thought they were the ancient dragons who voluntarily built stone statues with secret methods to guard the Tomb of Ten Thousand Dragons, but they didn’t expect the real reason to be this.

“I want to save them.” The mermaid queen quickly took out the deep sea harp, and healing notes lingered around them.

Who knew that the guards were in even more pain, and many even rushed towards the mermaid queen with hideous faces.

Zuan protected the mermaid queen behind him and took her back a distance, thus avoiding the attacks of the guards.

“How could this happen?” The mermaid queen was shocked and puzzled.

“Because they are full of death energy at this time, and have been transformed into monsters by the death energy. Your music is a cure for normal creatures, but it is like poison to them.” Zuan said while using the primordial energy to purify the guards who were closest to them.

The death energy was extracted from their bodies, and the originally violent guards gradually calmed down.

However, as the death energy dissipated, their flesh was decaying visibly to the n*ked eye.

“No!” Zuan quickly removed the Hongmeng Qi, looked at the scene in front of him and said in a deep voice, “They are now transformed by the death Qi. It can be said that they rely on this death Qi to maintain their last bit of life. If the death Qi disappears, they will completely decay and turn into dust.”

Although it sounds awkward, the mermaid queen still understood the meaning.

Thinking of those desperate garrisons who became such a life worse than death, her eyes were red: “Is there any way to save them?”
