The mermaids escorted her to the temple like the moon surrounded by stars.
In front of the temple stand two stone statues of mermaids fighting each other.
Compared with the two giant mermaid stone statues that were somewhat broken before, these two stone statues are lifelike. Although they are also carved from stone, the material used for these two stone statues seems to be somewhat different from that one, and there is no sign of erosion by sea water.
There was no moss or weeds on the stone statue, and it was obvious that it had been carefully cleaned.
The two stone statues stand opposite each other, with serious features.
These are two male stone statues. They are like two mermaids holding harpoons, like the two most solemn temple guards.
When Baili Xin saw the two stone statues, his consciousness was suddenly drawn to the two huge stone statues.
I originally thought that the two huge stone statues were covered with thick grass because the mermaids did not attach much importance to the mermaid faith.
But look here, it's so clean, why are there weeds growing over there
Is there really a belief in mermaids
Thinking of a series of names, a guess gradually emerged in Baili Xin's mind.
That place may not be the place of faith of mermaids at all. The huge stone statues are like two peaks enclosing the stone wall. There are names everywhere on the stone wall. The dying red-tailed mermaid also carved his name on it.
Some animal species in the animal kingdom have a habit of leaving the group and going to the burial place of the race alone when they realize that their lives are coming to an end.
That area should be the burial place of mermaids, not a place of faith.
The red-tailed mermaid realized that she was not far from death, so she carved her name on the stone wall and waited quietly for death.
The mermaid statue is not their belief. If anything, its function is similar to that of these two statues, that is, the guardian of the mermaid population.
The burial ground is a place that no living thing is willing to step into, just like animals only go there when they are close to death. Since no one takes the initiative to step into it, of course no one takes care of it, so it is understandable that the stone statue is covered with water plants.
So his direction deviated a little bit at the middle door. This should be the true place of faith of the mermaids.
The mermaids did not stop moving forward. They carried Baili Xin through the high steps and entered the temple.
The temple is huge, and the walls are made of stones of unknown material, which emit a faint fluorescence in this lightless seabed.
On the way forward, on both sides of the huge and long corridor, there are two stone statues standing opposite each other at intervals.
Surrounded by deep sea water, magically, this temple is full of light.
This place seems to be completely cut off from the outside world.
After passing through a long corridor, they came to a large hall.
This pure white hall is magnificent and majestic. Rows of beautiful white luminous pearls are hung on the towering roof, and the surrounding walls are also inlaid with exquisite shells.
In front of the main hall, there are several stone statues. The one at the middle door is the tallest. Although the stone statues on both sides are a little smaller than the one at the middle door, their majesty is not concealed at all.
In these stone statues
I saw several mermaids swimming out quickly from behind the submarine. They slowly came to the stone statue in the middle door, knelt down with their tails curled up, and worshiped devoutly with their hands clasped together. While kneeling, crystal clear pearls slowly fell in front of them.
Ten seconds later, the mermaids finished kneeling. They picked up the pearls on the ground and carefully placed them on the plate in front of the statue.
What's in this plate should be the offering to the gods.
All the mermaids around the submarine swam away, swam to the front of the stone statue, and knelt on the ground devoutly.
Baili Xin watched the mermaid kneeling for a while, then turned his attention to the stone statues in front of him.
The stone statues here are all painted with colorful paints, and the clear colors allow him to distinguish them better.
The mermaid at the middle door is a mermaid with a blue tail.
He held a trident in his hand and his hair was the same chestnut color as his own.
The statue's facial features were very delicate. Baili Xin drove the submarine closer and could even see the statue's double eyelids.
The advantage of stone statues is that they can be preserved for a long time and are not easily damaged.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the pictures carved on the stone statue are difficult to display clearly.
The face is detailed yet blurred.
To put it simply, you can't see the face clearly.
There was no text in front of the stone statue, so Baili Xin had to move the object to the stone statue next to it.
The stone statue next to it is a stone statue of a mermaid with a hideous face.
Its eyes were wide open, its skin was wrinkled like tree bark, its body was green, and it had only a few scattered hairs on its head.
The face is large, the eyes are small, the nose has snake-like nostrils, and a mouth like a lamprey.
Baili Xin: "???"
Wait, a lamprey's mouth
So weird, take another look.
Baili Xin's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened slightly.
Green skin, wrinkled bark, bald head, tiny eyes, lamprey mouth…
Uh, isn’t this the mermaid in the Deep Sea Mermaid copy
The mermaid is holding a handful of... □□
Baili Xin: "..."
I have something to say but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Afraid of causing embarrassment by making another mistake, Baili Xin quickly shifted his gaze to look at the other mermaid stone statues around him.
The mermaids placed here, except for the blue-tailed mermaid at the middle door which is normal, the others, without exception, have green skin and lamprey mouths.
He vaguely opened the door and seemed to see an old acquaintance inside.
One of the stone mermaid statues looked particularly old, and if you looked closely, you could see that one of its fingers was broken.
This stone mermaid statue keeps its hands open, as if reaching out to feel the water flow, while also protecting its back like a protector.
Elderly fish, broken fingers.
It is exactly the same as the old patriarch of the mermaid population in the deep-sea mermaid copy.
And isn't the movement of the stone statue at this moment exactly the same as the posture when it ran out of the black dog's body to protect him
If one or two things are still coincidences, then now it is no longer just a coincidence.
So can he boldly confirm that these stone statues are mermaids among deep-sea mermaids
Is this copy really the sequel to the Deep Sea Mermaid
Baili Xin's gaze fell on the mermaid at the middle door again.
If the mermaids around me were former mermaids, then the stone statue at the middle door could be me, right
Baili Xin suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment.
It’s not that he is narcissistic.
But in the Deep Sea Mermaid dungeon, his appearance was a blue tail and his current chestnut hair. But in Mission 3, he filled in his name, which was incorrect.
Baili Xin pondered and asked the escape system in his mind: Tongmei
Escape System: I'm here, Lord Baili Xin.
Bailixin: The answer to task 3 is wrong. Is it because the text is written incorrectly? Do I need to write the answer in mermaid language
Is this the problem
Escape system: No. If it is set up like this, it will be too demanding on the players. You can write your own words on it, and as long as the translated content matches the meaning of the answer, it will be judged correct.
Baili Xin was silent for two seconds: Is this the continuation of my previous deep-sea mermaid copy? Could the stone statue at the middle door be me
Escape System: Yes! Lord Baili Xin, you finally found it! Congratulations, this is the continuation of the deep-sea mermaids. Since you saved the deep-sea mermaids and this sea, the deep-sea mermaids carved your image into a stone statue to thank and commemorate you. And your facial features have gradually influenced the aesthetics of the deep-sea mermaids. After millions of years of development and evolution, the mermaids took your appearance as a blueprint and gradually grew into the current beautiful appearance.
Baili Xin felt mixed emotions: So, I am a plastic surgery template
Escape System: Ah, haha, this, you can understand that you are their aesthetic enlightenment teacher
During the evolution of mermaids, your facial features have been deeply imprinted in their genes. This may be why these mermaids have a natural liking for you when they see you. That is an instinct from their genes.
Blissin:…
Stop it, it sounds a bit harsh to me.
Are these mermaids okay
Guarding a stone statue of yourself, only to end up using yourself as a template for plastic surgery rather than a belief
After working so hard for so long, I finally got to participate in the exam, but the answer was different from what I expected
When he encountered the deep-sea mermaid, he knew that the mermaids had very strange thinking patterns, but he didn't expect to find them so strange.
Hey, can any of you mermaids tell me what your beliefs are
You don't regard me as a faith, are you just worshiping me for fun
He had actually secretly asked Dega for answers before, and asked Dega in handwriting what the mermaids believed in, but the result was Dega's ruthless shake of the head.
As a mermaid, Dijia actually didn't know what the mermaids' beliefs were.
What’s the difference between this and a chick being born and not knowing that its mother is a hen
Could it be that Dijia is not one of the mermaid species in this group
He is so different, even his teeth are different from those of ordinary mermaids.
According to Emperor Ga's character, this possibility is quite high.
Well, I thought the third task was the easiest to complete, but it turned out to be the most difficult.
_________________________
Live studio door.
This temple is quite interesting. The stone statue in the middle door is as beautiful as the surrounding stone statues are.
Maybe the uglier they are, the more they can deter others? The Eighteen Arhats are also ugly.
Buddy, you offended eighteen believers of gods with just a few words. Be careful when you walk at night next time.
…
________________________
The surroundings were filled with seawater, and Baili Xin could only silently drive the submarine and wait for the mermaids to pay their respects. After the mermaids finished their worship, they picked up Baili Xin's submarine and continued to set off.
Coming out of the hall, they continued moving deeper into the corridor.
Baili Xin noticed that as they went deeper, colorful murals began to appear on the ceiling above the corridor.
At the beginning, it was a quiet and peaceful seabed with the tails of two mermaids intertwined. At that time, the mermaids still had green skin.
Later, turmoil began to occur in the deep sea, and at the same time, some unique blue-tailed mermaids appeared out of nowhere.
He made a □□ and led the mermaids to kill the giant sea creatures.
Later, densely packed split turtles appeared in the overhead picture.
In the very end, the mermaid obtained the trident from the mysterious sea god and killed the culprit that caused the ocean turmoil. From then on, the mermaid lived a wealthy life.
The murals don’t end here.
Other stories followed.
The green-skinned mermaid found a new home with the other mermaids, and they began to live again under a brand new ocean system.
The days that followed were not all smooth sailing.
The natural enemies lurking at the bottom of the ocean destroyed their homes time and time again. At first, they hid from place to place and prayed upwards, hoping that a miracle would happen again.
Seeing them kneeling on the ground, Baili Xin suddenly felt a little dazed.
When they were kneeling down, were they thinking about themselves
Do you hope that you can come again and help them
If so, the result is obvious: he did not show up.
Sure enough, in the next picture, when the mermaid was kneeling and praying, a ferocious monster suddenly broke in.
The monster's sharp mouth grabbed the mermaids into its mouth, and the mermaids were so scared that they hid everywhere.
The mural was lifelike. Although it was static, a picture of despair and tension appeared before Baili Xin's eyes.
Just when the situation took a turn for the worse, several mermaids rushed out from among the mermaids.
Some of them held harpoons, some held bows/crossbows, and rushed towards the monster with roars.
At first, the monster easily threw the mermaids away.
But soon, new mermaid warriors stood up.
Their faces were painted no differently from the first group of mermaid warriors before them. They roared and rushed towards the monster again.
Later, the third and fourth batches, and more and more mermaid warriors joined the battle.
The ferocious beasts had wounds of varying sizes on their bodies, and there were also countless casualties among the mermaids.
In the end, the mermaids relied on their own perseverance and determination to defeat the beast in front of them. Countless mermaids surrounded the monster and cheered, holding up harpoons and bows/crossbows, filled with the joy of victory.
And this victory comes from every charging mermaid.
This time he did not come by himself, but a miracle still happened.
They are miracles.
One story ends and a new one begins.
The background this time should be a large-scale movement of the earth's crust, and even the ocean was not spared.
With the movement of the earth's crust, the seabed is filled with magma and other disasters at any time.
In such a harsh environment, the living environment of the mermaids was also suppressed and they began to migrate.
During their migration, they constantly encounter various disasters.
Death can happen at any time.
But during this migration, even if there were difficulties, they still overcame them all and finally found a safe environment suitable for mermaids to survive.
Another story ends.
The mermaid also slowed down her swimming speed at this time, and another room door appeared in front of Baili Xin.
Unlike the previous magnificent hall, the decoration of this hall is rigorous and solemn.
The mermaids all stood in a row, their expressions becoming serious at that moment.
Leading the way was the female mermaid. Under her leadership, all the mermaids swam into the door of the room in unison.
At the end of the team, Baili Xin also operated the submarine and entered the door of the room.
There is no exquisite stone statue, but a huge mural is carved on the wall of the door of this room. The mural is full of mermaids. The mermaids in the mural have firm eyes, holding harpoons and roaring to fight against the behemoth in front of them.
Even though they were covered in blood, there was no trace of fear in their eyes.
It was a mural composed of tens of thousands of mermaids.
There is no protagonist, but they are all protagonists.
Every detail in the mural is carefully carved, and every inch of it reflects the respect and reverence of later generations for their predecessors.
Just by seeing this mural, Baili Xin instantly felt the thrilling feeling of being there.
I'm getting goosebumps all over my body.
The submarine stopped at the door and did not move further inside. Baili Xin shifted his gaze from the mural to the group of mermaids in the hall.
The mermaids all stood in front of the mural and knelt down with a posture ten times more pious than when they kneeled before the stone statue.
The mermaid's singing sounded at the same moment.
The singing of mermaids has always been moving. The singing of a single mermaid can make passers-by in the ocean intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves, let alone the singing of hundreds of mermaids.
They seem to have been trained tens of millions of times, and their ethereal and melodious singing sounds seem to have been kissed by gods.
Baili Xin didn't understand the content of the song, but the charm of the song lies in the fact that even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still feel the emotions through the melody.
It was an extremely pious and solemn hymn.
The beautiful singing voice echoed in this space gate. Baili Xin felt that thousands of emotions overflowed from his heart, and then slowly fell back into his heart.
Suddenly, a deep blue ocean appeared in front of him. A whale swam slowly in front of him, but there was no ripple in the water.
Even the ocean was soothed by the mermaid's song.
There was another shake in front of his eyes, and he seemed to see countless translucent phantoms of mermaids appearing in the door of the room.
Some of them still have the appearance of lampreys, some are changing in appearance, and some have already acquired human face shape and skin color.
Everything before his eyes seemed like a dream, and Baili Xin couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or reality.
His eyes followed the souls of these mermaids, and he saw the blue figures snuggling together quietly, listening to the mermaids' singing.
Among these dark blue mermaids, he seemed to see the former mermaid chief and the long-haired mermaids waving at him.
His consciousness suddenly stirred, Baili Xin's eyes flickered, and when he looked forward again, everything had returned to normal.
Baili Xin: "."
This is a hymn, but also a spiritual song to comfort the dead souls.
This is the mermaid's belief.
It's not a specific merman, nor is it personal heroism; their beliefs are exactly what has been passed down from mermen from ancient times to the present.
The appearance of a hero can save a tribe temporarily, but what allows the tribe to survive for a long time is not the hero, but the tribe’s soul.
Bravery, fearlessness, persistence... and so on, these wonderful qualities are the most precious treasures that the mermaid ancestors left to future generations.
These are the mermaids’ beliefs.
Ding! Congratulations, you have advanced 50 points in Task 3. You have completed 85 points in Task 3, and only 15 points are left to complete Task 3. The last 15 points need to be answered. Please keep up the good work and fill in the correct answer to complete the task!
The system's voice suddenly sounded in Baili Xin's mind. Baili Xin looked at the mermaids in front of him, thought for two seconds, then opened the task bar and moved his consciousness to the third task.
He has already filled in the wrong answer once, and he has two more chances.
The voice of the escape system sounded in Baili Xin's mind: Lord Baili Xin, have you thought it through? If you fill in the wrong answer this time, you will only have one last chance. Isn't it too hasty to fill in the answer twice in just two hours? Do you want to wait and see
Baili Xin took a deep breath and said, "No need, I'm sure this time. And even if I really fill it out wrong, I still have one last chance."
After responding to the escape system, Baili Xin filled in a few words on Task 3: The spiritual inheritance of mermaids.
After a long wait, the system prompt sounded suddenly.
Ding! Congratulations, the answer you filled in overlaps with the standard answer by more than 90%, and the system determines that the answer is correct.
Congratulations to the player for achieving progress 15 for Task 3. Your total progress for Task 3 has reached 100.
Ding! The first three tasks are successfully completed, triggering the fourth random hidden task.
Players are requested to rescue all mermaids trapped in the research institute. After the mermaids are rescued, players will receive generous rewards.
Friendly reminder: This hidden task is not necessary to complete. Players can give up the task. If players cannot complete the task, they will not be punished by the system.
Mission Accepted/Mission Rejected
The sound of Baili Xin pressing the task acceptance system rang out immediately.
Ding! Congratulations to the player for accepting the hidden random task - saving the mermaid.
Players are requested to rescue all mermaids trapped in the research institute. (Number of mermaids rescued: 0 / Number of mermaids to be rescued: 51)
Blissin:…
Rubbish system. I even rescued a red-tailed mermaid, but it’s not counted in.
The voice of the escape system sounded in Baili Xin's mind: Wow, Lord Baili Xin, you really succeeded, you actually guessed it, you are so brave! You must be a genius, right
Baili Xin: Thank you, thank you.
Someone suddenly pulled his sleeve. Baili Xin turned his head and saw Xia Chi looking at him with eyes full of confusion and shock.
His eyes seemed to speak: Brother, where is this place? Why am I here? !
Baili Xin: "."
Tan, what about Tan Yue
A flash of inspiration: "…"
Alas, I was shocked by the mermaid’s singing. I’m so annoyed and don’t want to talk.
Xia Chi looked at the mermaid in front of him in a trance, his eyes blankly focused.
He is now in a daze and panic.
This is actually not the first time.
Probably starting from the previous copy, he discovered that he had developed a bad habit of sleepwalking.
Xia Chi swallowed quietly.
It was sleepwalking at first.
When I fall asleep at night and wake up during the day, there are sometimes a few more pieces of equipment around me. I don’t know why my healthy body becomes covered with bruises, and sometimes I even have sore muscles.
After the sleepwalking started, he researched a lot of information and began to try to use treatment cards for treatment.
At first he thought he had indeed recovered through treatment because he had never sleepwalked again since then.
But after entering the copy, something was wrong.
He was sleepwalking again.
This time... he cleared the level directly and even killed the boss.
Of course, Li Cancan told herself what happened later.
It's outrageous.
She actually told herself that she was so handsome, cool and stunning when she was asleep.
It's outrageous, too outrageous.
He is usually very cool and handsome, okay?!
But, can he still be so sweet and exciting in his dreams? Could it be that he was driven crazy by this game and developed a second personality
Xia Chi:Brother.
After hesitating for two seconds, Xia Chi decided to confess to Baili Xin, the person he trusted the most.
Baili Xin: The answer is "the spiritual heritage of mermaids."
Xia Chi had just typed two words in the chat window when Baili Xin sent a private message.
He was stunned for a moment, deleted the words he had typed, and replaced them with one word: What
Baili Xin: Please fill in the answer to Task 3.
Xia Chi:!!!!
All the panic disappeared in an instant. Xia Chi immediately pulled out the task bar and wrote down the answer on the third task.
The spiritual heritage of mermaids.
Ding! Congratulations, the answer is correct. You are awesome.
Xia Chi frowned. Why did the system's voice sound weird today and spoke weakly
Congratulations to the player, Task 3 has been successfully completed and the progress of Task 3 has reached 100.
Xia Chi's doubts were instantly forgotten.
Great, mission three is completed. Is this the feeling of sucking up to someone powerful?!
The system continued in a somewhat lazy voice: Congratulations to the player, the first three required tasks have been successfully completed, and the hidden random task has been triggered.
The hidden random task you triggered is - A Wonderful Night.
Please have a good sleep one night in the future.
After completing the task, you can get a lot of generous rewards and have the opportunity to open random rare items.
Hidden random tasks are not necessary to complete. There is no penalty for failing the task, and the task can be canceled.
Please make your choice.
Mission Accepted/Mission Rejected
Xia Chi stared at the hidden random task and asked doubtfully in his mind: Does having a good sleep mean that I can complete this task after a good sleep
The system's voice was still lazy: Yes, your luck value is very high, so the random task is simple, but the reward is generous. We recommend that you accept it.
Xia Chi quickly pressed the button to accept the task.
System, after the fourth task appeared in the task bar, Xia Chi did not withdraw his consciousness immediately, but asked: You don't sound well, do you have a cold? Can the system also catch a cold
The system was silent for two seconds, then slowly spoke: Thank you for your concern, but I don’t have a cold, I just worked too long and activated my self-sleep program.
Xia Chi opened the door vaguely and seemed to hear a very low yawn.
Xia Chi:
The system will also get sleepy
System: Well, have a good game, and see you next time.
Xia Chi: Oh, ok, see you next time, good night.
The light in his mind flickered twice, and just when Xia Chi thought the system had fallen asleep, the system's voice slowly came: Well, good night.
Xia Chi:…
_____________________________
Live studio door.
… If I couldn’t see the players’ tasks from the live studio door, I really couldn’t believe how different the world is.
Why is Xin Shen's hidden mission so difficult? He has to rescue all 51 mermaids. Xia Chi's hidden mission is to sleep? Oh, if Xin Shen knew about this, how sad he would be
It's so funny, Xin Shen is giving a warning about his poor performance.
_____________________________
Baili Xin: Xia Chi, have you completed task three
Xia Chi quickly replied: Done, thank you brother, love you, pen refill.
Baili Xin: Have you accepted the hidden mission
Xia Chi: Received it.
Baili Xin: That's good. It doesn't matter if we can't complete Mission 4, but with me here, we can definitely complete it. Even if there was no such mission, I was planning to rescue all the mermaids in the institute. Now that there is a mission, I can get a little more reward, which is not bad.
Xia Chi looked at Baili Xin in confusion: Brother, what is your hidden mission
Baili Xin: It's your responsibility to save all 51 mermaids in the research institute, isn't it
Xia Chi: Mine is not that, mine is “have a good sleep at night”.
Baili Xin:
Otherwise I'd better quit the group.
Oh, there is no group, then just delete the friend.
Xia Chi: Brother, I want to ask you something.
Baili Xin: What's the matter
Thinking of the strange reaction of the system just now, he hesitated for two seconds and then asked: That is, does your system feel sleepy
If I ask you this question, will you think I am crazy
Baili Xin: Although I have never dozed off, my escape system is quite active. I think these systems are companionship systems that will gradually generate humanized voice modules and personalities as they accompany you.
Xia Chi: Oh, so it’s normal to doze off
Baili Xin looked at Xia Chi meaningfully: Was your system dozing off just now
Xia Chi touched his ear awkwardly: Yeah, I'm still a little worried about it.
Baili Xin: It should be fine. Call it tomorrow and see how it reacts. The personality of each system should change according to the personality of the host. My system tends to be more innocent, while yours may be a lazy workaholic.
Xia Chi suddenly realized, "So that's it. Thank you, brother. I've learned another lesson. Task three has been completed. What should we do now? Go back?"
Seeing the mermaids remaining motionless in a pious kneeling posture after singing the song, Baili Xin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."
On the way back, Xia Chi scratched his head, very confused.
I always feel like I have forgotten something important.
What was it
Oh, never mind. I can’t remember.
forget about it!
Hurry back and complete the fourth hidden task!
Maybe he can even reveal hidden rare items.
They returned along the same route and after two hours, they arrived at the first two huge stone statues.
Baili Xin did not leave in a hurry, but drove the submarine to the first name that the red-tailed mermaid had pointed out to him.
The red-tailed mermaid had shown him the mural before and pointed out this name to him, and he had pointed at himself at that time.
At that time, he thought that the Red-Tailed Mermaid was referring to him and wanted him to look at the name.
But at that time, perhaps the Red-tailed Mermaid meant that this name was herself
Starting from myself, my name has been engraved here.
From then on, it is estimated that the names of all mermaids who died would be engraved on it.
The old patriarch, the two mermaids who took care of him, and so on, their names should all be on it.
They had left long ago, yet it seemed as if they had never left.
The bodies dissipated, but the souls remained eternal, quietly guarding their people and descendants.
He suddenly remembered what the old patriarch said when he died.
He said that he was willing to use his own flesh and blood to support the children's lives.
He said that life changes, and there is rebirth only after death.
He said everything would be fine and everything would start over.
For the mermen, thousands of years have passed.
The mermaids may have already forgotten the old chief's appearance, and don't know the original words he once said.
But the old patriarch's legacy has never disappeared.
Baili Xin suddenly felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.
A race that has survived thousands of years will not be easily defeated.
This era of mermaid prosperity is just as the old patriarch wished.
The bones and blood of our ancestors lay the foundation for the glory of future generations.
When some people fall, new people will come, and they will continue to rise, and the cycle of life will continue forever.
This is the heritage of mermaids, which will never be erased.
After thousands of years, he returned to the plane of deep-sea mermaids by chance. As if it was a reincarnation, he came here in place of the old patriarch and saw the tenacious and vigorous mermaid tribe.
The gears of fate formed a closed loop.
Isn’t this also a kind of inheritance
_____________________
Leaving here and continuing to move forward, just after walking a short distance, a dozen small red dots appeared in their submarine.
But what’s strange is that the little red dots didn’t move towards this side, but instead huddled together and wandered around like headless flies.
Baili Xin: s419, did you do this
s419: I was going to do it, but I didn't get around to it. You can go and see for yourself and see who did it. Don't worry, the detectors can't see you.
A flash of doubt passed through Baili Xin's mind, and he quickly drove the submarine towards the location of the red dot.
Xia Chi was shocked when he saw this, "Brother, don't let it get you down."
Baili Xin: "..."
You are the one who can't get over it!
He soon came to the area where the little red dots gathered. When he saw the huge whale in front of him, Baili Xin laughed out loud, "Xia Chi."
Xia Chi also noticed that the detectors had been eaten by the whale, and immediately replied: "Here!"
Baili Xin pointed at the huge creature and said, "It seems that your sixth sense and luck are still very strong. No wonder you said you were afraid of whales and were afraid of swallowing them in one gulp. It turns out that they can really swallow them, but they won't swallow us."
Xia Chi: “Uh.”
For a moment, he was a little unsure whether his brother was praising him or insulting him.
Before leaving, Baili Xin looked back at the huge whale.
This whale seems to have been lingering here all the time. I saw it the last time I came here, and it was still here this time.
Maybe this whale is also the guardian of the mermaid
Even if they are not guardians, they may be in a companion relationship.
It seems that his worries about the safety of the mermaids were unnecessary, so the next step is to rescue all the mermaids in the research institute.
The mermaid's escape plan was officially launched! The mermaids were sent to the temple like a star.
In front of the temple stand two stone statues of mermaids fighting each other.
Compared with the two giant mermaid stone statues that were somewhat broken before, these two stone statues are lifelike. Although they are also carved from stone, the material used for these two stone statues seems to be somewhat different from that one, and there is no sign of erosion by sea water.
There was no moss or weeds on the stone statue, and it was obvious that it had been carefully cleaned.
The two stone statues stand opposite each other, with serious features.
These are two male stone statues. They are like two mermaids holding harpoons, like the two most solemn temple guards.
When Baili Xin saw the two stone statues, his consciousness was suddenly drawn to the two huge stone statues.
I originally thought that the two huge stone statues were covered with thick grass because the mermaids did not attach much importance to the mermaid faith.
But look here, it's so clean, why are there weeds growing over there
Is there really a belief in mermaids
Thinking of a series of names, a guess gradually emerged in Baili Xin's mind.
That place may not be the place of faith of mermaids at all. The huge stone statues are like two peaks enclosing the stone wall. There are names everywhere on the stone wall. The dying red-tailed mermaid also carved his name on it.
Some animal species in the animal kingdom have a habit of leaving the group and going to the burial place of the race alone when they realize that their lives are coming to an end.
That area should be the burial place of mermaids, not a place of faith.
The red-tailed mermaid realized that she was not far from death, so she carved her name on the stone wall and waited quietly for death.
The mermaid statue is not their belief. If anything, its function is similar to that of these two statues, that is, the guardian of the mermaid population.
The burial ground is a place that no living thing is willing to step into, just like animals only go there when they are close to death. Since no one takes the initiative to step into it, of course no one takes care of it, so it is understandable that the stone statue is covered with water plants.
So his direction deviated a little bit at the middle door. This should be the true place of faith of the mermaids.
The mermaids did not stop moving forward. They carried Baili Xin through the high steps and entered the temple.
The temple is huge, and the walls are made of stones of unknown material, which emit a faint fluorescence in this lightless seabed.
On the way forward, on both sides of the huge and long corridor, there are two stone statues standing opposite each other at intervals.
Surrounded by deep sea water, magically, this temple is full of light.
This place seems to be completely cut off from the outside world.
After passing through a long corridor, they came to a large hall.
This pure white hall is magnificent and majestic. Rows of beautiful white luminous pearls are hung on the towering roof, and the surrounding walls are also inlaid with exquisite shells.
There are several stone statues placed in front of the main hall. Among them, the stone statue at the middle door is the tallest. Although the stone statues on both sides are a little smaller than the stone statue at the middle door, they do not conceal their solemnity at all.
In these stone statues
I saw several mermaids swimming out quickly from behind the submarine. They slowly came to the stone statue in the middle door, knelt down with their tails curled up, and worshiped devoutly with their hands clasped together. While kneeling, crystal clear pearls slowly fell in front of them.
Ten seconds later, the mermaids finished kneeling. They picked up the pearls on the ground and carefully placed them on the plate in front of the statue.
What's in this plate should be the offering to the gods.
All the mermaids around the submarine swam away, swam to the front of the stone statue, and knelt on the ground devoutly.
Baili Xin watched the mermaid kneeling for a while, then turned his attention to the stone statues in front of him.
The stone statues here are all painted with colorful paints, and the clear colors allow him to distinguish them better.
The mermaid at the middle door is a mermaid with a blue tail.
He held a trident in his hand and his hair was the same chestnut color as his own.
The statue's facial features were very delicate. Baili Xin drove the submarine closer and could even see the statue's double eyelids.
The advantage of stone statues is that they can be preserved for a long time and are not easily damaged.
But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the pictures carved on the stone statue are difficult to display clearly.
The face is detailed yet blurred.
To put it simply, you can't see the face clearly.
There was no text in front of the stone statue, so Baili Xin had to move the object to the stone statue next to it.
The stone statue next to it is a stone statue of a mermaid with a hideous face.
Its eyes were wide open, its skin was wrinkled like tree bark, its body was green, and it had only a few scattered hairs on its head.
The face is large, the eyes are small, the nose has snake-like nostrils, and a mouth like a lamprey.
Baili Xin: "???"
Wait, a lamprey's mouth
So weird, take another look.
Baili Xin's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened slightly.
Green skin, wrinkled bark, bald head, tiny eyes, lamprey mouth…
Uh, isn’t this the mermaid in the Deep Sea Mermaid copy
The mermaid is holding a handful of... □□
Baili Xin: "..."
I have something to say but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Afraid of causing embarrassment by making another mistake, Baili Xin quickly shifted his gaze to look at the other mermaid stone statues around him.
The mermaids placed here, except for the blue-tailed mermaid at the middle door which is normal, the others, without exception, have green skin and lamprey mouths.
He vaguely opened the door and seemed to see an old acquaintance inside.
One of the stone mermaid statues looked particularly old, and if you looked closely, you could see that one of its fingers was broken.
This stone mermaid statue keeps its hands open, as if reaching out to feel the water flow, while also protecting its back like a protector.
Elderly fish, broken fingers.
It is exactly the same as the old patriarch of the mermaid population in the deep-sea mermaid copy.
And isn't the movement of the stone statue at this moment exactly the same as the posture when it ran out of the black dog's body to protect him
If one or two things are still coincidences, then now it is no longer just a coincidence.
So can he boldly confirm that these stone statues are mermaids among deep-sea mermaids
Is this copy really the sequel to the Deep Sea Mermaid
Baili Xin's gaze fell on the mermaid at the middle door again.
If the mermaids around me were former mermaids, then the stone statue at the middle door could be me, right
Baili Xin suddenly lowered his head in embarrassment.
It’s not that he is narcissistic.
But in the Deep Sea Mermaid dungeon, his appearance was a blue tail and his current chestnut hair. But in Mission 3, he filled in his name, which was incorrect.
Baili Xin pondered and asked the escape system in his mind: Tongmei
Escape System: I'm here, Lord Baili Xin.
Bailixin: The answer to task 3 is wrong. Is it because the text is written incorrectly? Do I need to write the answer in mermaid language
Is this the problem
Escape system: No. If it is set up like this, it will be too demanding on the players. You can write your own words on it, and as long as the translated content matches the meaning of the answer, it will be judged correct.
Baili Xin was silent for two seconds: Is this the continuation of my previous deep-sea mermaid copy? Could the stone statue at the middle door be me
Escape System: Yes! Lord Baili Xin, you finally found it! Congratulations, this is the continuation of the deep-sea mermaids. Since you saved the deep-sea mermaids and this sea, the deep-sea mermaids carved your image into a stone statue to thank and commemorate you. And your facial features have gradually influenced the aesthetics of the deep-sea mermaids. After millions of years of development and evolution, the mermaids took your appearance as a blueprint and gradually grew into the current beautiful appearance.
Baili Xin felt mixed emotions: So, I am a plastic surgery template
Escape System: Ah, haha, this, you can understand that you are their aesthetic enlightenment teacher
During the evolution of mermaids, your facial features have been deeply imprinted in their genes. This may be why these mermaids have a natural liking for you when they see you. That is an instinct from their genes.
Blissin:…
Stop it, it sounds a bit harsh to me.
Are these mermaids okay
Guarding a stone statue of yourself, only to end up using yourself as a template for plastic surgery rather than a belief
After working so hard for so long, I finally got to participate in the exam, but the answer was different from what I expected
When he encountered the deep-sea mermaid, he knew that the mermaids had very strange thinking patterns, but he didn't expect to find them so strange.
Hey, can any of you mermaids tell me what your beliefs are
You don't regard me as a faith, are you just worshiping me for fun
He had actually secretly asked Dega for answers before, and asked Dega in handwriting what the mermaids believed in, but the result was Dega's ruthless shake of the head.
As a mermaid, Dijia actually didn't know what the mermaids' beliefs were.
What’s the difference between this and a chick being born and not knowing that its mother is a hen
Could it be that Dijia is not one of the mermaid species in this group
He is so different, even his teeth are different from those of ordinary mermaids.
According to Emperor Ga's character, this possibility is quite high.
Well, I thought the third task was the easiest to complete, but it turned out to be the most difficult.
_________________________
Live studio door.
This temple is quite interesting. The stone statue in the middle door is as beautiful as the surrounding stone statues are.
Maybe the uglier they are, the more they can deter others? The Eighteen Arhats are also ugly.
Buddy, you offended eighteen believers of gods with just a few words. Be careful when you walk at night next time.
…
________________________
The surroundings were filled with seawater, and Baili Xin could only silently drive the submarine and wait for the mermaids to pay their respects. After the mermaids finished their worship, they picked up Baili Xin's submarine and continued to set off.
Coming out of the hall, they continued moving deeper into the corridor.
Baili Xin noticed that as they went deeper, colorful murals began to appear on the ceiling above the corridor.
At the beginning, it was a quiet and peaceful seabed with the tails of two mermaids intertwined. At that time, the mermaids still had green skin.
Later, turmoil began to occur in the deep sea, and at the same time, some unique blue-tailed mermaids appeared out of nowhere.
He made a □□ and led the mermaids to kill the giant sea creatures.
Later, densely packed split turtles appeared in the overhead picture.
In the very end, the mermaid obtained the trident from the mysterious sea god and killed the culprit that caused the ocean turmoil. From then on, the mermaid lived a wealthy life.
The murals don’t end here.
Other stories followed.
The green-skinned mermaid found a new home with the other mermaids, and they began to live again under a brand new ocean system.
The days that followed were not all smooth sailing.
The natural enemies lurking at the bottom of the ocean destroyed their homes time and time again. At first, they hid from place to place and prayed upwards, hoping that a miracle would happen again.
Seeing them kneeling on the ground, Baili Xin suddenly felt a little dazed.
When they were kneeling down, were they thinking about themselves
Do you hope that you can come again and help them
If so, the result is obvious: he did not show up.
Sure enough, in the next picture, when the mermaid was kneeling and praying, a ferocious monster suddenly broke in.
The monster's sharp mouth grabbed the mermaids into its mouth, and the mermaids were so scared that they hid everywhere.
The mural was lifelike. Although it was static, a picture of despair and tension appeared before Baili Xin's eyes.
Just when the situation took a turn for the worse, several mermaids rushed out from among the mermaids.
Some of them held harpoons, some held bows/crossbows, and rushed towards the monster with roars.
At first, the monster easily threw the mermaids away.
But soon, new mermaid warriors stood up.
Their faces were painted no differently from the first group of mermaid warriors before them. They roared and rushed towards the monster again.
Later, the third and fourth batches, and more and more mermaid warriors joined the battle.
The ferocious beasts had wounds of varying sizes on their bodies, and there were also countless casualties among the mermaids.
In the end, the mermaids relied on their own perseverance and determination to defeat the beast in front of them. Countless mermaids surrounded the monster and cheered, holding up harpoons and bows/crossbows, filled with the joy of victory.
And this victory comes from every charging mermaid.
This time he did not come by himself, but a miracle still happened.
They are miracles.
One story ends and a new one begins.
The background this time should be a large-scale movement of the earth's crust, and even the ocean was not spared.
With the movement of the earth's crust, the seabed is filled with magma and other disasters at any time.
In such a harsh environment, the living environment of the mermaids was also suppressed and they began to migrate.
During their migration, they constantly encounter various disasters.
Death can happen at any time.
But during this migration, even if there were difficulties, they still overcame them all and finally found a safe environment suitable for mermaids to survive.
Another story ends.
The mermaid also slowed down her swimming speed at this time, and another room door appeared in front of Baili Xin.
Unlike the previous magnificent hall, the decoration of this hall is rigorous and solemn.
The mermaids all stood in a row, their expressions becoming serious at that moment.
Leading the way was the female mermaid. Under her leadership, all the mermaids swam into the door of the room in unison.
At the end of the team, Baili Xin also operated the submarine and entered the door of the room.
There is no exquisite stone statue, but a huge mural is carved on the wall of the door of this room. The mural is full of mermaids. The mermaids in the mural have firm eyes, holding harpoons and roaring to fight against the behemoth in front of them.
Even though they were covered in blood, there was no trace of fear in their eyes.
It was a mural composed of tens of thousands of mermaids.
There is no protagonist, but they are all protagonists.
Every detail in the mural is carefully carved, and every inch of it reflects the respect and reverence of later generations for their predecessors.
Just by seeing this mural, Baili Xin instantly felt the thrilling feeling of being there.
I'm getting goosebumps all over my body.
The submarine stopped at the door and did not move further inside. Baili Xin shifted his gaze from the mural to the group of mermaids in the hall.
The mermaids all stood in front of the mural and knelt down with a posture ten times more pious than when they kneeled before the stone statue.
The mermaid's singing sounded at the same moment.
The singing of mermaids has always been moving. The singing of a single mermaid can make passers-by in the ocean intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves, let alone the singing of hundreds of mermaids.
They seem to have been trained tens of millions of times, and their ethereal and melodious singing sounds seem to have been kissed by gods.
Baili Xin didn't understand the content of the song, but the charm of the song lies in the fact that even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still feel the emotions through the melody.
It was an extremely pious and solemn hymn.
The beautiful singing voice echoed in this space gate. Baili Xin felt that thousands of emotions overflowed from his heart, and then slowly fell back into his heart.
Suddenly, a deep blue ocean appeared in front of him. A whale swam slowly in front of him, but there was no ripple in the water.
Even the ocean was soothed by the mermaid's song.
There was another shake in front of his eyes, and he seemed to see countless translucent phantoms of mermaids appearing in the door of the room.
Some of them still have the appearance of lampreys, some are changing in appearance, and some have already acquired human face shape and skin color.
Everything before his eyes seemed like a dream, and Baili Xin couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or reality.
His eyes followed the souls of these mermaids, and he saw the blue figures snuggling together quietly, listening to the mermaids' singing.
Among these dark blue mermaids, he seemed to see the former mermaid chief and the long-haired mermaids waving at him.
His consciousness suddenly stirred, Baili Xin's eyes flickered, and when he looked forward again, everything had returned to normal.
Baili Xin: "."
This is a hymn, but also a spiritual song to comfort the dead souls.
This is the mermaid's belief.
It's not a specific merman, nor is it personal heroism; their beliefs are exactly what has been passed down from mermen from ancient times to the present.
The appearance of a hero can save a tribe temporarily, but what allows the tribe to survive for a long time is not the hero, but the tribe’s soul.
Bravery, fearlessness, persistence... and so on, these wonderful qualities are the most precious treasures that the mermaid ancestors left to future generations.
These are the mermaids’ beliefs.
Ding! Congratulations, you have advanced 50 points in Task 3. You have completed 85 points in Task 3, and only 15 points are left to complete Task 3. The last 15 points need to be answered. Please keep up the good work and fill in the correct answer to complete the task!
The system's voice suddenly sounded in Baili Xin's mind. Baili Xin looked at the mermaids in front of him, thought for two seconds, then opened the task bar and moved his consciousness to the third task.
He has already filled in the wrong answer once, and he has two more chances.
The voice of the escape system sounded in Baili Xin's mind: Lord Baili Xin, have you thought it through? If you fill in the wrong answer this time, you will only have one last chance. Isn't it too hasty to fill in the answer twice in just two hours? Do you want to wait and see
Baili Xin took a deep breath and said, "No need, I'm sure this time. And even if I really fill it out wrong, I still have one last chance."
After responding to the escape system, Baili Xin filled in a few words on Task 3: The spiritual inheritance of mermaids.
After a long wait, the system prompt sounded suddenly.
Ding! Congratulations, the answer you filled in overlaps with the standard answer by more than 90%, and the system determines that the answer is correct.
Congratulations to the player for achieving progress 15 for Task 3. Your total progress for Task 3 has reached 100.
Ding! The first three tasks are successfully completed, triggering the fourth random hidden task.
Players are requested to rescue all mermaids trapped in the research institute. After the mermaids are rescued, players will receive generous rewards.
Friendly reminder: This hidden task is not necessary to complete. Players can give up the task. If players cannot complete the task, they will not be punished by the system.
Mission Accepted/Mission Rejected
The sound of Baili Xin pressing the task acceptance system rang out immediately.
Ding! Congratulations to the player for accepting the hidden random task - saving the mermaid.
Players are requested to rescue all mermaids trapped in the research institute. (Number of mermaids rescued: 0 / Number of mermaids to be rescued: 51)
Blissin:…
Rubbish system. I even rescued a red-tailed mermaid, but it’s not counted in.
The voice of the escape system sounded in Baili Xin's mind: Wow, Lord Baili Xin, you really succeeded, you actually guessed it, you are so brave! You must be a genius, right
Baili Xin: Thank you, thank you.
Someone suddenly pulled his sleeve. Baili Xin turned his head and saw Xia Chi looking at him with eyes full of confusion and shock.
His eyes seemed to speak: Brother, where is this place? Why am I here? !
Baili Xin: "."
Tan, what about Tan Yue
A flash of inspiration: "…"
Alas, I was shocked by the mermaid’s singing. I’m so annoyed and don’t want to talk.
Xia Chi looked at the mermaid in front of him in a trance, his eyes blankly focused.
He is now in a daze and panic.
This is actually not the first time.
Probably starting from the previous copy, he discovered that he had developed a bad habit of sleepwalking.
Xia Chi swallowed quietly.
It was sleepwalking at first.
When I fall asleep at night and wake up during the day, there are sometimes a few more pieces of equipment around me. I don’t know why my healthy body becomes covered with bruises, and sometimes I even have sore muscles.
After the sleepwalking started, he researched a lot of information and began to try to use treatment cards for treatment.
At first he thought he had indeed recovered through treatment because he had never sleepwalked again since then.
But after entering the copy, something was wrong.
He was sleepwalking again.
This time... he cleared the level directly and even killed the boss.
Of course, Li Cancan told herself what happened later.
It's outrageous.
She actually told herself that she was so handsome, cool and stunning when she was asleep.
It's outrageous, too outrageous.
He is usually very cool and handsome, okay?!
But, can he still be so sweet and exciting in his dreams? Could it be that he was driven crazy by this game and developed a second personality
Xia Chi:Brother.
After hesitating for two seconds, Xia Chi decided to confess to Baili Xin, the person he trusted the most.
Baili Xin: The answer is "the spiritual heritage of mermaids."
Xia Chi had just typed two words in the chat window when Baili Xin sent a private message.
He was stunned for a moment, deleted the words he had typed, and replaced them with one word: What
Baili Xin: Please fill in the answer to Task 3.
Xia Chi:!!!!
All the panic disappeared in an instant. Xia Chi immediately pulled out the task bar and wrote down the answer on the third task.
The spiritual heritage of mermaids.
Ding! Congratulations, the answer is correct. You are awesome.
Xia Chi frowned. Why did the system's voice sound weird today and spoke weakly
Congratulations to the player, Task 3 has been successfully completed and the progress of Task 3 has reached 100.
Xia Chi's doubts were instantly forgotten.
Great, mission three is completed. Is this the feeling of sucking up to someone powerful?!
The system continued in a somewhat lazy voice: Congratulations to the player, the first three required tasks have been successfully completed, and the hidden random task has been triggered.
The hidden random task you triggered is - A Wonderful Night.
Please have a good sleep one night in the future.
After completing the task, you can get a lot of generous rewards and have the opportunity to open random rare items.
Hidden random tasks are not necessary to complete. There is no penalty for failing the task, and the task can be canceled.
Please make your choice.
Mission Accepted/Mission Rejected
Xia Chi stared at the hidden random task and asked doubtfully in his mind: Does having a good sleep mean that I can complete this task after a good sleep
The system's voice was still lazy: Yes, your luck value is very high, so the random task is simple, but the reward is generous. We recommend that you accept it.
Xia Chi quickly pressed the button to accept the task.
System, after the fourth task appeared in the task bar, Xia Chi did not withdraw his consciousness immediately, but asked: You don't sound well, do you have a cold? Can the system also catch a cold
The system was silent for two seconds, then slowly spoke: Thank you for your concern, but I don’t have a cold, I just worked too long and activated my self-sleep program.
Xia Chi opened the door vaguely and seemed to hear a very low yawn.
Xia Chi:
The system will also get sleepy
System: Well, have a good game, and see you next time.
Xia Chi: Oh, ok, see you next time, good night.
The light in his mind flickered twice, and just when Xia Chi thought the system had fallen asleep, the system's voice slowly came: Well, good night.
Xia Chi:…
_____________________________
Live studio door.
… If I couldn’t see the players’ tasks from the live studio door, I really couldn’t believe how different the world is.
Why is Xin Shen's hidden mission so difficult? He has to rescue all 51 mermaids. Xia Chi's hidden mission is to sleep? Oh, if Xin Shen knew about this, how sad he would be
It's so funny, Xin Shen is giving a warning about his poor performance.
_____________________________
Baili Xin: Xia Chi, have you completed task three
Xia Chi quickly replied: Done, thank you brother, love you, pen refill.
Baili Xin: Have you accepted the hidden mission
Xia Chi: Received it.
Baili Xin: That's good. It doesn't matter if we can't complete Mission 4, but with me here, we can definitely complete it. Even if there was no such mission, I was planning to rescue all the mermaids in the institute. Now that there is a mission, I can get a little more reward, which is not bad.
Xia Chi looked at Baili Xin in confusion: Brother, what is your hidden mission
Baili Xin: It's your responsibility to save all 51 mermaids in the research institute, isn't it
Xia Chi: Mine is not that, mine is “have a good sleep at night”.
Baili Xin:
Otherwise I'd better quit the group.
Oh, there is no group, then just delete the friend.
Xia Chi: Brother, I want to ask you something.
Baili Xin: What's the matter
Thinking of the strange reaction of the system just now, he hesitated for two seconds and then asked: That is, does your system feel sleepy
If I ask you this question, will you think I am crazy
Baili Xin: Although I have never dozed off, my escape system is quite active. I think these systems are companionship systems that will gradually generate humanized voice modules and personalities as they accompany you.
Xia Chi: Oh, so it’s normal to doze off
Baili Xin looked at Xia Chi meaningfully: Was your system dozing off just now
Xia Chi touched his ear awkwardly: Yeah, I'm still a little worried about it.
Baili Xin: It should be fine. Call it tomorrow and see how it reacts. The personality of each system should change according to the personality of the host. My system tends to be more innocent, while yours may be a lazy workaholic.
Xia Chi suddenly realized, "So that's it. Thank you, brother. I've learned another lesson. Task three has been completed. What should we do now? Go back?"
Seeing the mermaids remaining motionless in a pious kneeling posture after singing the song, Baili Xin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."
On the way back, Xia Chi scratched his head, very confused.
I always feel like I have forgotten something important.
What was it
Oh, never mind. I can’t remember.
forget about it!
Hurry back and complete the fourth hidden task!
Maybe he can even reveal hidden rare items.
They returned along the same route and after two hours, they arrived at the first two huge stone statues.
Baili Xin did not leave in a hurry, but drove the submarine to the first name that the red-tailed mermaid had pointed out to him.
The red-tailed mermaid had shown him the mural before and pointed out this name to him, and he had pointed at himself at that time.
At that time, he thought that the Red-Tailed Mermaid was referring to him and wanted him to look at the name.
But at that time, perhaps the Red-tailed Mermaid meant that this name was herself
Starting from myself, my name has been engraved here.
From then on, it is estimated that the names of all mermaids who died would be engraved on it.
The old patriarch, the two mermaids who took care of him, and so on, their names should all be on it.
They had left long ago, yet it seemed as if they had never left.
The bodies dissipated, but the souls remained eternal, quietly guarding their people and descendants.
He suddenly remembered what the old patriarch said when he died.
He said that he was willing to use his own flesh and blood to support the children's lives.
He said that life changes, and there is rebirth only after death.
He said everything would be fine and everything would start over.
For the mermen, thousands of years have passed.
The mermaids may have already forgotten the old chief's appearance, and don't know the original words he once said.
But the old patriarch's legacy has never disappeared.
Baili Xin suddenly felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.
A race that has survived thousands of years will not be easily defeated.
This era of mermaid prosperity is just as the old patriarch wished.
The bones and blood of our ancestors lay the foundation for the glory of future generations.
When some people fall, new people will come, and they will continue to rise, and the cycle of life will continue forever.
This is the heritage of mermaids, which will never be erased.
After thousands of years, he returned to the plane of deep-sea mermaids by chance. As if it was a reincarnation, he came here in place of the old patriarch and saw the tenacious and vigorous mermaid tribe.
The gears of fate formed a closed loop.
Isn’t this also a kind of inheritance
_____________________
Leaving here and continuing to move forward, just after walking a short distance, a dozen small red dots appeared in their submarine.
But what’s strange is that the little red dots didn’t move towards this side, but instead huddled together and wandered around like headless flies.
Baili Xin: s419, did you do this
s419: I was going to do it, but I didn't get around to it. You can go and see for yourself and see who did it. Don't worry, the detectors can't see you.
A flash of doubt passed through Baili Xin's mind, and he quickly drove the submarine towards the location of the red dot.
Xia Chi was shocked when he saw this, "Brother, don't let it get you down."
Baili Xin: "..."
You are the one who can't get over it!
He soon came to the area where the little red dots gathered. When he saw the huge whale in front of him, Baili Xin laughed out loud, "Xia Chi."
Xia Chi also noticed that the detectors had been eaten by the whale, and immediately replied: "Here!"
Baili Xin pointed at the huge creature and said, "It seems that your sixth sense and luck are still very strong. No wonder you said you were afraid of whales and were afraid of swallowing them in one gulp. It turns out that they can really swallow them, but they won't swallow us."
Xia Chi: “Uh.”
For a moment, he was a little unsure whether his brother was praising him or insulting him.
Before leaving, Baili Xin looked back at the huge whale.
This whale seems to have been lingering here all the time. I saw it the last time I came here, and it was still here this time.
Maybe this whale is also the guardian of the mermaid
Even if they are not guardians, they may be in a companion relationship.
It seems that his worries about the safety of the mermaids were unnecessary, so the next step is to rescue all the mermaids in the research institute.
The mermaid on the run plan has officially begun!
