"Can we go now?" Li Shi Ying looked at the guard with a worried expression. The girl could show such an expression wasn't only as a part of her act but also because she was really worried! It's been about 30 minutes already...the effect of the transformation talisman might end any time!
"Alright, you can go" The guard checked the carriage once more in case the crown prince was hidden beneath the seat or somewhere else but he didn't see anything thus, he let go of Li Shi Ying's carriage.
Right when the guard closed the door, the effect of the transformation talisman suddenly ended, revealing everyone's true form in no time.
"That was close!" Li Shi Ying sighed in relief as she glanced at Jiao Cong Ming who was about to shout again but got shut by Jiu Wei very quickly.
"Thankfully the guard didn't stay for any longer" Long Ao Zhen patted Li Shi Ying's head as he secretly thanks the guard too for leaving early. He didn't want to stay as an old man any longer!
The crab carriage quickly went past the barricade of guards as the people inside it all had relaxed knowing the guard didn't find anything in their carriage.
But who knows when the carriage went pass through the last barricade, the head guard suddenly got a signal from the barricade.
"This!" The head guard looked at the crab carriage which had gone far and shock filled his face. Just now the barricade detected the crown prince's aura! But how come? It didn't react at all a few minutes ago. Could it be the barricade sensor is broken?
"What's wrong Captain?" The guard who checked Li Shi Ying's carriage quickly asked the head guard when he saw the man had a pale face and a look of disbelief.
"Did you find anything strange inside that crab carriage?" The head guard looked at the guard with a serious expression. He needed to decide whether this barricade is broken or not.
"Eh? Nothing...the passenger there is only a young girl, an old man, a little servant boy and a little servant girl" The guard recalled what he saw inside the crab carriage and told the head guard with full detail.
He had checked everything and the people inside seemed normal. There's no way the crown prince would be among them if his highness did, he would obviously shout or ask for help but no one act unusually.
"...chase that crab carriage I'm afraid that we're tricked by a translator among them!" The head guard trusted his instincts and quickly marched chasing the carriage with his seahorse mount.
Four normal-looking citizens but the direction they headed to...was the little forest where the ancient ruin was located! Rumour said that someone needed royal blood to activate the ancient ruin. Wait. It's not only the blood but they needed a royal family member to clear the obstacles ahead.
Is the rumour was right...then the crown prince was kidnapped for this purpose! It means...the crab carriage earlier had the crown prince in it! He didn't know how the guard didn't find the crown prince there but considering the one kidnapping him was a translator…
The translator might use some tricks to make the crown prince changed appearance as well as hiding his aura! This translator is really cunning if not for the barricade catching the crown prince's aura in time they won't ever find him!
"Y-yes, sir!" The guard was confused with the head guard command but he didn't ask anything. The man quickly told the others to follow after the head guard to chase after the crab carriage in front of them.
The crown prince is there!

"We will enter the forest in a few minutes. Since there will be a lot of wild spiritual beasts here…" Xi Xue informed Li Shi Ying with telepathy when they had arrived at the entrance of the sea forest.
The forest really wasn't like forest they often saw up there. The forest here was completely filled with water plant, coral, and any other sea plants. It's truly beautiful yet somehow because it's silent without anyone there, the place gave off an eerie feeling.
"Ao Zhen, release your aura" Hearing Xi Xue words, Li Shi Ying quickly asked Long Ao Zhen to released his dragon aura. Long Ao Zhen's dragon aura was so convenient to be used in this kind of situation after all.
"Sure" Without hesitating even for a bit, Long Ao Zhen immediately released his dragon aura in no time. The moment the aura was released, all the underwater beasts roaming around the forest was stunned.
A second later, they quickly hide in their nest without making any noises at all, afraid that the owner of this terrifying aura would find them. A dragon aura...how the hell a dragon was here in the lower realm?!
"Good good" Li Shi Ying didn't see how the beasts run away but she already thanked Long Ao Zhen by patting his head happily.
"Master we can't go in with the carriage. The entrance is too small and covered by corals. The forest is small so we can only swim in" Xi Xue suddenly told Li Shi Ying another piece of sudden news.
...what? They can't get in? They have to swim??
