After listening to their words, Baili Xin looked at the dark tunnel and did not split the turtle to catch up.
He glanced at the two mermaids who had already shaken hands and made peace. They were arm wrestling with smiles on their faces, as if they had forgotten their previous argument.
This little world of mermaids has not yet been invaded by the split turtles, but the central sea area, which was once a safe zone, is no longer safe.
"What kind of monster is that?" a mermaid asked. "It will eat up all the food soon. What will we eat then? We have almost eaten up the lantern monster we caught two days ago. If there is no more food, we will all starve."
"This is the first time we've seen this kind of monster," the two young mermaids looked at each other, "but they seem to be dead things, and they have no intention of attacking us."
"It's no use even if they don't mean to attack us. That's our food, they stole our meal!" a female mermaid shouted, with a hungry little mermaid in her arms.
Baili Xin silently watched the quarreling mermaids; panic had quietly crept into everyone's hearts.
There are tens of thousands of them living in the ocean, forming their own ecosystem. Mermaids eat other creatures, and some creatures also prey on mermaids.
Some organisms live on fresh meat, while others live on carrion.
The whale swallows all things, and when the whale dies, all things come to life.
The endless cycle of life is the eternal principle that allows marine life to survive.
Splinter turtles not only create despair and panic among dying lives, they also wipe out the ocean.
It eats up the nutritional system of marine life. A small link can easily break and damage the entire ocean.
"Everyone, don't panic," Green Hair said in a high-pitched voice, trying to calm everyone down, "We'll go get another prey."
The fat mermaid looked a little unhappy, but still nodded. "Yeah, that's right. We have to eat."
"Hey, stop arguing. It's not easy for these kids either. They haven't had a rest for a long time and have gone deep into the South China Sea. Some of them were burnt. Our adult mermaids are strong, but they can't be so arrogant."
An old voice sounded, Baili Xin looked over and saw it was the Scar Mermaid.
The scarred mermaid's eyes were clear, and it was obvious that he had regained consciousness.
"Who said the lantern troll was almost finished? Isn't there still half left? It can be eaten for another two days."
The mermaid who had just spoken blushed, swung her tail and shrank back without saying anything else.
Bald Merman: "The most critical issue now is to figure out what kind of creature it is, whether it is harmful to our group, and whether it poses a big threat. If it poses a threat to us, we have to consider relocation."
"I know a little about this creature." Baili Xin said, "Would you like to listen?"
The mermaid who went hunting with him today looked at Baili Xin and suddenly thought of something.
"I remember now. Today, next to the electric eel monster in the South China Sea, this mermaid seemed to be holding that kind of creature in his hand!"
As soon as these words were spoken, dozens of eyes turned to Baili Xin.
Baili Xin looked calm and said casually, "Didn't I say before that I came here because of the unrest caused by the migration of marine life? This creature called the Split Turtle is the source of this unrest."
"It first appeared in the most mysterious North Sea area. I caught one at the time and was studying its habits. You must remember what I am going to say next. There are a few things you must avoid, so it is best not to violate them lightly."
Baili Xin spoke in a low voice, but his voice was clearly heard by every mermaid. Even the little mermaid who was still sleeping woke up and looked at this strange-looking fellow with curiosity.
Hearing the words "North Sea District", all the mermaids present gasped.
The North Sea area is a restricted area for all marine life because of the mystery and danger of the creatures there.
After removing the fish tendon from his shoulder, Baili Xin found a stone to sit on, and while polishing the fish tendon he spoke slowly.
"These creatures are not very dangerous individually. They have no ability to attack, so if you encounter one, don't panic."
"So far, I haven't found a way to kill the Split Turtle. Even the ancient gods in the North Sea can't do anything to it."
"The reason why they are said to be unkillable is that once a split turtle dies, it is like being reborn. Every time it dies, it will immediately split, one becomes two, two becomes four, and so on and so forth. The most splits I have ever seen are 11, so one split turtle becomes 2048."
"Killing them will only make them stronger. So remember, if you encounter such creatures, as long as they don't get attached to you, don't take the initiative to provoke them. If they get attached to you, don't rush to attack them."
The tendons of the electric eel monster were as thick as a thumb. Baili Xin fiddled with the tendons with his fingers a few times and found that their elasticity and toughness were much stronger than the tendons of the lantern monster before.
However, this fish tendon is too thick to be used as a spring and needs secondary processing.
Baili Xin carefully scraped off the fascia on the surface of the fish tendons with a small knife, and continued as he scraped, "Until now, I have been looking for a way to kill them."
"I tried freezing it, electrocuting it, and roasting it, but none of them killed it."
"I have a question," a timid mermaid raised her hand, "This is the bottom of the sea, where does the fire come from?"
Baili Xin raised his eyelids and said, "Oh, it's the magma zone in the South China Sea. I threw the split turtle into the magma cave."
When they heard the word "magma", the mermaids gasped again.
Baili Xin: "I said before that the Splitting Turtle split 11 times, right here. After the magma killed it, it split quickly, kept dying, and kept splitting, from the first one to the later 2048, until it couldn't stand it anymore, gave up splitting and chose to self-destruct."
"So far, there is only one way to stop the split turtles, and that is for them to give up on their own initiative."
The young mermaid asked again: "How do you know they split so many times?"
"Oh, that's right." Baili Xin pointed to his head and said calmly, "As for how I know they have split into so many, didn't I say that the Ocean God sent me here? This is all what the Ocean God told me."
Fat Mermaid: "So, even the Ocean God doesn't know how to kill them?"
Baili Xin continued to make up stories: "Yeah, I don't know."
The sound of gasps was heard among the mermaids.
"If we throw them into the lava, won't they still die after splitting so much? This can also kill them, right?"
"You can't do that." Baili Xin smiled and shook his head. "I tortured this split turtle many times before, and its will to survive was almost worn out by me. I was lucky this time, so it didn't continue to split."
"Just imagine that they die and revive at the same time every time. One split turtle in the magma will soon become more than two thousand. What if there are ten? What if there are a hundred? Not all of them will die. Once the size of the split turtles exceeds the size of the magma itself, they can use the human wave tactics to successfully leave the magma, while the split turtles in the magma will continue to split. The split turtles will completely become an endless source of life and will soon occupy every corner of this ocean."
The mermaids immediately imagined Baili Xin's illusion.
The mermaids' faces turned pale, and the mermaid who asked the question was even more frightened.
This thing is really perverted. Normal creatures reproduce and create new life through mating, but the split turtle does it through death.
That means the more you die, the more you live.
According to this, magma is really a paradise for split turtles.
Damn, what kind of monster is this
"There is one more thing," another knife fell on the fish tendon. Baili Xin glanced and saw that it was the scarred mermaid.
Scar Mermaid used a small knife to help Baili Xin scrape the fascia, his eyes were very serious. He was no longer young, and tiny wrinkles could be seen around the corners of his eyes. The skin on his body also had varying degrees of wrinkles and roughness.
Compared with the young Green Hair and the fat mermaid, he is indeed much thinner.
But there were thick tendons on his arms and chest, which were the remaining traces of the muscular body. Through these tendons, it was clear how strong the mermaid in front of him was when he was young.
The hero is old.
This may be the dilemma and embarrassment that every life has to face.
Baili Xin: "There is one more thing. At present, the target of the Split Turtle is..."
He glanced at the scarred mermaid who was carefully scraping the fascia, and after a slight pause, he continued, "It's a life that will die soon."
Scar Mermaid's hand holding the knife paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal and started scraping the fascia again.
"It can sense death energy. The dead and dying may become its targets. Of course, it is possible that a split turtle got crazy and followed me by mistake. I am an example. I don't think I have death energy, but that split turtle followed me. So if you are followed by a split turtle, don't be too panic."
"Once you are regarded as prey by the split turtle, you need to keep moving. The split turtle will not catch moving creatures. When this creature falls to the ground and remains still, that is when the split turtles will rush out in droves."
"I don't know much, this is all." Baili Xin had already scraped about ten meters of tendon. The dagger turned a few circles in his palm with the flexible movement of his fingers. Baili Xin raised his hand and slashed with the knife, quickly cutting off the tendon with the fascia peeled off.
After polishing for a while and making sure that the burrs and friction on the ribs were removed, Baili Xin took out a bow/crossbow part that had been polished long ago.
Baili Xin's movements were very skillful. In just a few seconds, he had made a beautifully crafted bow/crossbow.
"I'm going to try out the effects of this bow/crossbow. Do you want to come and watch?"
With his curled up tail spread out, Baili Xin swam towards the training ground.
Everyone looked at each other and rushed forward, wishing they could stick to Baili Xin for fear of missing even the slightest exciting moment.
Baili Xin placed an arrow made of fish bones on the newly made bow/crossbow and threw an arrow while deliberately ignoring the water flow.
The arrow flew out in the water, and the water flow around the arrow head formed a layer of semi-vacuum white light.
Before the mermaid could react to what was flying over, the arrow pierced into the rock, with two-thirds of the arrow body penetrated.
"Awesome!" a mermaid shouted. "Holy crap, this is amazing! How did they do this? Just by changing a tendon? How come they are so awesome?!"
The mermaids were crowded around and surrounded Baili Xin.
Every mermaid had an excited expression on their face. Baili Xin handed the bow/crossbow to the scarred mermaid who was eager to try it out. "Do you want to try it again?"
Of course you have to try it. Do you even need to ask
The scarred mermaid took it without saying a word, loaded the arrow skillfully and released it, and the arrow was inserted two-thirds of the distance again.
There was an exclamation from the group of mermaids.
The attack power of two-thirds has exceeded that of many adult mermaids.
Scar Merman looked at the crossbow in his hand excitedly, his palms trembling slightly and his eyes full of shock.
Baili Xin: "Yes, the electric eel's tendons are indeed very useful."
He thought for a moment, looked at the group of mermaids that had gathered around him, and warned them, "The purpose of my handing over this technology to you is not to allow you to kill people indiscriminately. I hope you understand."
"The mermaids have never relied on sheer force to win against gigantic sea monsters. The seabed is in turmoil now, and even the safest middle sea area is no longer safe. This bow/crossbow is for your self-defense, not for killing other sea creatures indiscriminately."
As soon as Baili Xin finished speaking, the mermaids began to whisper.
The bald mermaid laughed twice. "Don't worry about that. Indiscriminate killing is not good for us. We also know the principle of the food chain. If we kill indiscriminately, other creatures will decrease, which may indirectly affect our survival."
"Yes, and we can't eat that many marine animals if we kill them. It will also make the surrounding sea water turbid and attract a lot of plankton."
"But this bow/crossbow is really cool, much more powerful than a harpoon."
"Mom, with this bow/crossbow, can I also go hunting?"
"No! Hunting is a recreational activity for us adult mermaids. Wait until you grow up before you steal our recreational activities. But you can catch some small fish, shrimps, and snakes in the middle sea area to practice."
When the "Zhonghai District" was mentioned, Scar Merman's face changed slightly, because all the mermaids gathered here, and the martial arts training ground seemed very narrow. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Don't go to Zhonghai District for the time being. Zhonghai District has become unsafe during this period. No mermaid can leave here unless it is necessary."
"I agree with this approach." Baili Xin nodded. "It's best to arrange for suitable mermaids to leave the tunnel every day, because once a dead object falls to the ground, it will attract the attention of the split turtle. It's best to put smaller creatures or creatures that can be easily cooked as food in the future."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The excitement they had just felt at seeing the new weapons had completely died out.
"But we can't live here forever. It's fine for us, but these children need to move around. This narrow area is not enough for them to exercise. Do we have to let them swim up and down?"
The bald mermaid looked at Baili Xin in embarrassment, "For the sake of the children and the future of this ocean, should we deal with these split turtles? Apart from us mermaids, only the ancient gods in the North Sea still have thoughts. To protect this ocean, we can only rely on ourselves."
An inexplicable sense of mission suddenly arose in the mermaid's heart.
"Baili Xin, I hope you can help us. Although I don't know if we will succeed, if we don't do something, we will only fail." An old mermaid looked at Baili Xin with his cloudy eyes. "The ocean is our home. We can survive, but the children's future will not be ruined. Is there anything we can do?"
Baili Xin stared at these mermaids in a daze, and suddenly felt touched.
The inheritance of life may become extremely valuable because of the protection it involves. In the face of danger, in order to prevent future generations from suffering the same pain as the present, they have become a giant tower that supports suffering.
Baili Xin: "We'll find a way."
And we need to find a solution as soon as possible.
He doesn't have much time left.
Ding! Congratulations to the player for triggering the hidden mission: The Mermaid Tribe's Sustainment!
Mission content: For the future of the mermaids, please help the mermaids drive away the greedy predators that destroy the ocean - the split turtles. After completing this mission, you will get extra performance points. After completing the mission, you can also get a hidden item: the gift of the mermaids.
The triggering condition for this task is to gain the absolute trust of the mermaids. Congratulations to the players.
In my mind, the system suddenly jumped.
Baili Xin was slightly surprised. There was actually a hidden mission
Below the taskbar, a golden task suddenly appeared.
Gold? It was a color he had never seen before.
The normal main task is displayed in red, and it will turn green after completing the task.
The hidden tasks in the first two tasks are blue in color.
What does this gold represent
The escape system probably saw Baili Xin's confusion, and this time it took the initiative to explain: the color represents the rarity of the task, and also represents the difficulty.
The lowest color is purple, followed by blue, which is similar to the colors of the rainbow, but reversed. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Orange tasks are very rare S-level tasks. Some players may encounter an S-level hidden task in their entire lives. Dear player, you are really lucky this time! I have never seen an S-level hidden task myself!
Probably because it had never seen the escape system itself, its tone was cold and its speech speed was much faster.
But the higher the rarity, the harder it is to complete the task, and the more valuable the rewards and items you get. You can give it a try. If you can't complete it, it doesn't matter. Hidden tasks will not cause any penalties to players.
Baili Xin just wanted to help them and never thought that there was a hidden task in it. This was really a pleasant surprise.
The trigger condition is to gain the absolute trust of the mermaids
So when they make a request to themselves, they have already put themselves in the most trusted position.
They placed their hopes for the future of their race on him.
Baili laughed hard.
This trust is really touching and heavy.
When they heard the old mermaid speak, all the mermaids were stunned, and their eyes were suddenly filled with awe.
The old mermaid slowly came to Baili Xin and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am the leader of the mermaid tribe."
Baili Xin looked at the old mermaid. His eyes were covered with a white cloudy film, and his hair, nails, and teeth had all fallen out.
—"First, the memory becomes confused, then the nails and teeth fall out, and when the memory is completely lost, the mermaids will face their death."
The conversation between the two mermaids ahead came to mind.
Looking at the old mermaid in front of him in a daze, Baili Xin said respectfully, "Hello, my name is Baili Xin."
"I know you." The clan leader smiled with his toothless mouth, "I don't have much time left, so I'll talk a lot."
"Oman is my acting chief and the next official chief," the chief pointed at the scarred mermaid, "I am increasingly unconscious now, so all matters of the mermaid tribe are now in the hands of Oman."
"I have been observing you while I was conscious these past two days. This may be the last time I am conscious. Thank you for coming and helping us. Please help us once again." The chief's eyes gradually became cloudy, and his voice became intermittent. "I swear to the God of the Sea in the name of the chief, that after Baili Xin saves us, he will obtain the greatest treasure of our mermaid tribe - the Mermaid Heart."
The surrounding mermaids were all in an uproar.
"The heart of the mermaid? That is a treasure that has been passed down by our mermaid tribe for tens of thousands of years!"
"Master Patriarch! No matter how good Baili Xin is, he is just an outsider. Do you really want to give him the Mermaid's Heart?!"
"Master Patriarch, please think twice!"
The old chief took two deep breaths and said, "Shut up! If there is no mermaid tribe left, what's the point of keeping the mermaid heart?!"
"I ask you, who among you dares to stand up and tell me that you can defeat those undead monsters!"
"No matter how precious a mermaid's heart is, it is only a thing outside of our body. Our offspring and heritage are the most precious things of the mermaids. For guests who can save our most precious treasures, of course we must offer them a mermaid's heart that is valuable enough to show our sincerity and your value."
There was silence among the mermaids, and countless mermaids lowered their heads in shame.
The clan leader finished in one breath and took another deep breath.
After enough rest, the patriarch's spirit has become increasingly weak.
He looked at Baili Xin deeply, waiting for Baili Xin's answer.
Baili Xin: "Okay, I promise you."
After receiving Baili Xin's answer, the patriarch seemed to have accomplished some mission. He let out a long sigh, and his back, which had been holding up strongly, also hunched over.
He tried to look at the scarred mermaid beside him, and said with the last bit of his rationality: "Ouman, from now on you will be the official leader of the mermaid tribe. The mermaid tribe is in your hands."
A key was handed to the Scar Mermaid. Before the Scar Mermaid could say anything, the old mermaid's eyeballs rolled upwards and his eyeballs twitched wildly.
When his eyes fell back down, he looked dazed and stupid.
Sadness quickly spread among the mermaids.
The mermen stared at the old merman, watching it wander aimlessly and finally stumble away from the training grounds.
Seeing that Baili Xin was a little confused, the bald mermaid lowered his voice and explained: "The old chief is our spiritual leader. He was once the strongest warrior in our mermaid tribe and had immortal merits and achievements. At that time, we were out and encountered a sea monster in the North Sea. If it weren't for him, we would have died. He is our hero."
The sound gradually became quieter.
Baili Xin didn't say anything, but he understood what the bald man meant.
The more immortal a myth is, the more sad it is when it falls.
Baili Xin: "Where will he go?"
The bald mermaid shook his head. "I don't know. It's an unwritten rule among us mermaids that in order to maintain the final dignity of heroes, we will not plow their way to death. In our minds, he will always remain as the tallest and bravest image, not a dying body."
Baili Xin's eyes were dim.
Many animals also have this habit. When they realize that they are about to die, they will quietly leave the group and go to a cemetery that has been selected long ago, embarking on the road to death.
Baili Xin sighed.
Everyone put their hands together, bowed their heads and closed their eyes, already observing a moment of silence.
Baili Xin followed their example and closed his eyes.
The moment he closed his eyes, the feeling of loneliness that had appeared several times before came back again.
This time the feeling of loneliness was more intense than ever, mixed with resentment and anger.
All the emotions entangled together suddenly rushed into Baili Xin's heart, almost making him stagger.
The surging emotions were like the steam rising from a pressure cooker, constantly expanding and rising under the strong pressure, as if they would explode in the next second, sweeping towards the sky.
The color on Baili Xin's face suddenly faded. These emotions not only invaded his heart, but also started a fight in his body.
He only felt that his consciousness was swept up by a violent whirlwind, and he was at the center of this vortex.
Those unknown emotions transformed into hideous ghost faces, which kept changing in the high-speed rotating vortex, roaring tearingly, with huge mouths, and their faces blurred into lines.
His head was buzzing with pain, Baili Xin's face turned pale, and he looked at these unknown emotions vigilantly.
Suddenly, amid the roars, he heard a very faint cry for help.
Fighting back the dizzy feeling of wanting to vomit, he opened his eyes and looked at the vortex of storm in front of him.
As countless faces changed, he realized that these emotions were not just loneliness and madness, but also sadness, joy, etc.
Each face represents an emotion, a smiling face, a crying face, an angry face, a treacherous face...
The whirlwind spun faster and faster, and the ferocious faces inside became increasingly blurred, and countless faces gradually tended to merge into one.
Faintly, Baili Xin heard voices calling out.
"bring it on."
"Come join us."
"You belong here."
"You can feel our emotions, you are our companion."
"Come join us."
"Good boy, come here quickly."
The calls, like Satan's temptation and Cain's whisper, are luring the ignorant girl into the abyss.
This is not a voice outside the body, but an intuitive invasion of emotions inside the soul.
Those calls were like depth charges hitting the sea, causing huge waves one after another.
Baili Xin covered his head and sneered.
This feeling of collapse is really exciting.
In the vent, he steadied himself and slowly stood up. The hurricane started to blow, and in this inner world, he had already turned into a human.
The corners of his clothes were blown up and his hair was flying freely in the wind.
Baili Xin frowned, looking at these evil thoughts caused by countless emotions, and whispered: "I refuse."
The voice was low, but firm enough.
The hurricane stopped suddenly.
The inner world seemed to be frozen, turning into a motionless three-dimensional picture.
Those emotional facial expressions that were transformed into a face due to the rapid operation also revealed their true appearance.
He thought it was just a vortex of wind, but it was actually full of facial masks.
Countless facial expressions and countless emotions, all paused at this moment.
What the hell are these
"He doesn't want to."
"He actually didn't want to."
"Why could he refuse?"
"No, it shouldn't be like this."
"You should join us."
"We are your companions."
"Let's take revenge together."
"Hehehe, revenge."
Just as Baili Xin was about to watch these emotions, countless voices came in.
Even though he had clearly refused, these greedy emotions showed no sign of leaving.
It's really difficult.
Baili Xin: "What are you?"
"He spoke to us."
"He asked us what it was."
"Hehehe, we are your partners."
“Only our partners can feel us.”
"You can feel us, you are our partner."
Baili Xin rubbed his eyebrows.
It's too noisy. So noisy.
The noise and clamor were like needles piercing his mind and giving him a splitting headache.
"Get out of my mind."
"Hehehe, we just won't go out."
"You accepted us, and we will not leave."
"It's so comfortable here. I want to live here."
A bunch of inexplicable emotions invaded his soul openly and refused to leave.
What kind of hooliganism is this
He was aware of the unusual feeling of loneliness, and in order to explore the source of this loneliness, he even tried to feel it deliberately.
This is probably what they call "acceptance".
The emotional face that had just calmed down became agitated again.
"He's silent."
"Is he thinking about joining us?"
"Come join us now!"
"We'll always be waiting for you!"
"Yeah, it doesn't get any better than here."
It was pitch black all around, with densely packed facial masks in front of my eyes and endless conversations in my ears.
Baili Xin's headache got worse.
Suddenly, a distant low voice, like the ethereal sound of Sanskrit, came down from above his head.
As soon as that voice came out, it immediately covered all other voices with its overbearing force.
The masks trembled all over and fell from the air one after another, sliding past Baili Xin and falling into the even darker abyss at the bottom.
A pair of warm hands suddenly grabbed Baili Xin's shoulders from behind, and the next second Baili Xin fell into a warm and familiar broad chest.
The moment Baili Xin wanted to look back, a pair of rough eyes with slightly calloused eyes covered his face.
"Don't look." A distant voice came into my ears, murmuring about my emotions, "Now is not the time."
Baili Xin's tense body slowly relaxed, and he placed all his weight on the man behind him.
…
"Baili Xin!"
"Baili Xin!"
Anxious voices came in one after another. Baili Xin supported his splitting head and slowly opened his eyes.
In front of me, the azure blue water was crystal clear, and the mouths of the lampreys that were almost touching my face enlarged in front of me one after another.
Baili Xin's pupils suddenly shrank, "..."
Oh my god, I almost fainted again.
This scene is truly frightening.
Although I know that these "beautiful and gentle" mermaids have good tempers, it's just knowing.
When a person is mentally distracted, his eyes and brain grow separately.
Baili Xin swallowed and said, "Stop shaking, I'm awake."
The scarred mermaid who was shaking Baili Xin suddenly stopped, "Ah, you finally woke up, you scared us to death."
The fat mermaid almost cried out: "You must not die, the future of our mermaid tribe is in your hands!"
Baili Xin: "..."
There is no need to rise to such a high level.
The pressure is huge.
"Did I just faint?" Baili Xin's head was still a little dizzy, and his memories gradually returned in his muddled consciousness.
"Yes, it's in the training ground." Green Hair was also around. Besides Green Hair, there were a bunch of mermaids surrounding them.
"… "
Although he knew that everyone was concerned, he still saw those pairs of green eyes staring at him and those open mouths.
He just wants to be alone now.
"Alright, alright, it's alright, go do what you need to do!"
Scar's mermaid had good eyesight. When he saw Baili Xin wake up, he immediately drove away the other mermaids who came to join in the fun, leaving only a few people that Baili Xin knew.
There was a rustling sound of swimming, and after a moment, the mermaids that had gathered around left.
The only ones left by his side were the Scar Mermaid, the Bald Mermaid, the Fat Mermaid and the Green-Haired Mermaid.
Green Hair continued, "Just now in the martial arts training ground, you fainted as soon as you closed your eyes. After you fainted, you seemed to have a nightmare, dancing around like you were possessed by a ghost, and you kept saying 'leave my body' or something like that."
At this point, Green Hair started to feel wronged, "I just had a brain attack and said something to you. I was shocked when you said that. I thought you were having a nightmare and couldn't let me get close to you, so I didn't dare to help you even though I wanted to."
The other three mermaids: "Confession?!"
Baili Xin: "Just get to the point, okay? I don't even know what happened."
Can this blunder of "confession" be let go? !
Stop talking, or else Dijia will go crazy again. What should we do
Isn't he the one who suffered? !
“Ahem, okay,” Green Hair scratched his head awkwardly, “Then your face turned pale, and the tribe leader brought you out.”
Baili Xin looked around and found that he had left the training ground and was now in a coral reef. He was lying in a huge pearl shell, with thick seaweed and beautiful pearls covering his body.
A voice came into the ears from a place where the four mermaids could not hear: "You lay in there like a lotus emerging from the water, as if you were a pearl waiting for me to pick. It's a pity that there are so many more eyesores around."
That voice actually carried a hint of regret
Baili Xin's face suddenly turned red.
Baili Xin: "How long have I been unconscious?"
Scar Mermaid: "I don't know. It took quite a long time."
Forget that they have no concrete concept of time.
Baili Xin opened the taskbar and found that two hours had passed.
He thought it was just a moment, but in reality such a long time had passed.
Baili Xin looked down and noticed that there were many pearls of different colors lying next to the seaweed in the shell.
Colorful and pretty.
I remembered that Dijia kept scanning the pearls from the corners of his eyes, and it seemed that the color of the pearls was different every time.
Out of curiosity, Baili Xin asked the Scar Mermaid.
"Master Patriarch, what do blue tears mean?"
Dijia said it meant "emotional arousal", but he was a little skeptical.
Scar Mermaid was stunned for a moment, her face slightly reddened: "You little brat, why are you asking this?"
Baili Xin was slightly stunned.
No way? Really
Bald mermaid: "Hey, move aside. If you don't want to tell me, I'll tell you, little guy, this pearl is our tear, you know?"
Baili Xin nodded.
In ancient times, mermaids shed tears that turned into pearls. Mermaids in the West also shed tears that turned into pearls.
Although the mermaid here is a bit inferior to the mermaid in the fairy tale in terms of appearance, the Mary Sue setting is still the same.
So, are pearl tears and tail the only criteria for identifying mermaids
Bald Mermaid: "White Pearls have the most ordinary eyes, without any emotion."
"There's something interesting about the color blue. When love is strong, it turns blue."
The scarred mermaid kept winking at him, but the bald mermaid pretended not to see anything.
Baili Xin then asked: "What about the lavender tears?"
After these words were spoken, everyone's face turned red, including the bald mermaid's.
"Ah, this. That is, that. The tears that fall are usually this color."
Baili Xin: "..."
I have to say, he understood.
The author has something to say: I'm here!!! I've already posted my 2-point review for the previous chapter. Muah, good night~
