That night, after Yan Mo notified Ramon, he walked to Qingyuan Lake alone to wait for Yu Wu.
Yuan Zhan wanted to follow, but Yan Mo drove him back.
When Yu Wu came, Yan Mo asked the surrounding mermaid warriors and his guards to retreat.
"There's a problem with the mermaid's birth, right?" Before Yu Wu could speak, Yan Mo came up and dealt a heavy blow.
Yu Wu was silent for a while, then raised his eyelids, "How do you know?"
"I major in medicine. In your words, I am a witch who specializes in healing people and is proficient in poison. As a mermaid great witch, you don't choose your beautiful clansmen instead of mating with me, an ordinary human. I Guess if you expect human priests to have some kind of special ability to conceive mermaid children."
Yu Wu smiled lazily, and sat down on a rock by the bank, "You are a male."
"I've heard a lot of stories about Father God copulating with certain heterogeneous males, and those heterogeneous males also used various methods to conceive the offspring of Father God." Yan Mo thinks that his greatest advantage is that he can accept all seemingly impossible things Things, "Maybe you mermaids also have a way to make males reproduce?"
"Speaking of stories, my family also has a legend that has been handed down from nowhere."
Yan Mo put on a posture of listening attentively.
Yu Wu looked up at the sky, there was no moon tonight, and the stars were shining brightly. "It is said in the story that at the beginning of the world, the lower body of the ancestor god fell into the sea, and all things were born in the sea. Later, the father god and the ancestor fish combined to give birth to the sea god. The sea god has horns on his head. The upper body is a human, the lower body is a long fish tail, with eight limbs, and a bone on the back. The sea god is also the ancestor of the mermaid tribe. One day, a powerful king of the mermaid tribe was curious about life on land and walked ashore. It was convenient to walk on land, so he turned into legs, and the king never returned to the sea afterwards."
"... You don't want to say that the ancestors of human beings are mermaids?"
"No, what I want to say is that one of the human race must have left the blood of the mermaid king, because he once sent word back that a woman bore him an offspring born with two legs."
"Are you looking for them?" Yan Mo understood a little bit.
Yu Wu didn't deny it, "The legendary king was the most powerful person in the sea at that time, and he had the ability to approach God. As long as his descendants awakened his bloodline, they would not be ordinary people."
"So you only mate with human priests?"
Yu Wu said slowly, "I like the human body, it's warmer and softer than a mermaid's."
"So while you're looking for this king's offspring, you're also satisfying your own lust." Yan Mo nodded, this time he really understood, but there is still one question: "What's so special about that king's offspring?"
"The mermaids are all hermaphrodites, and they don't decide their gender until they choose a mate in adulthood. If the king's blood is passed on among humans, his offspring will definitely have this trait."
No wonder all the little mermaids he saw were boys.
Yu Wu looked at him and smiled ambiguously, "If you are the descendant of that king, and I have sex with you, even if you don't want to, I can force and induce your body to automatically become a fertile female body."
Yan Mo thinks this ability is very interesting, "All mermaids can do this? What if the passive side is unwilling?"
Yu Wu laughed, "This is an ability that belongs exclusively to the priests of the mermaid tribe to prevent the extinction of the mermaid tribe. No matter how powerful the mermaid tribe is, no other mermaid can do this."
"Well, I finally understand everything. When you sleep with a human priest, one is to satisfy your own lust, and the other is to find the offspring of the king and hope that he will give you a child. But in fact, you are not sure about that. Will the offspring of a king be able to solve the problem of the mermaid's difficulty in giving birth?"
"Yes, it's just a hope. If he can give birth to me, it means that his body is healthy and normal, and he can assimilate with the mermaid. If I can really find such a person, I can think about his difference from the mermaid. Find out the obstacles that prevent the mermaid race from conceiving offspring." Having said this, Yu Wu sighed softly.
It would be great if this person could really be found, but he hasn’t found any trace yet, and the birth of the long-tailed mermaids has reached an extremely dangerous state. If it wasn’t for this, how could he lead the long-tailed mermaids out of the ocean? , trekking long distances to the inland lakes.
Yan Mo also thought about this question, "Do you find or think that sea water is one of the reasons that hinder the birth of mermaids?"
Yu Wu's expression changed slightly, and he sat up a little more straight, "Why do you think so?"
"I heard other mermaids mention that you are from the ocean, and you said so yourself. And you will leave your hometown, either because you can't survive, or because of the war, but I don't see any hatred in your eyes when you usually speak, so then It's not a war, and judging from the fact that you care so much about mermaid fertility, the rest is easy to speculate."
Yu Wu looked at the young man in front of him and didn't speak for a while.
Yan Mo didn't care what he was thinking, and just said to himself: "I remember that there are several kinds of fish mentioned in the inheritance of the ancestor gods. They usually live in the ocean, but they will go through all kinds of dangers during the breeding season. The ocean swims to freshwater inland, where they mate and lay their eggs, and when the eggs grow up they swim back to the ocean the same way their parents came, and so on. Why?"
Yu Wu could not help answering: "Because there are their enemies in the ocean, they like to eat their eggs and fry. In order to avoid these enemies, they leave the ocean to produce. It may also be because the temperature or composition of the sea water is not suitable for hatching."
Yan Mo said again: "But some fish usually live in freshwater areas, but they swim into the sea when they give birth. Why?"
Both of them fell into deep thought. Yu Wu had thought about these similar questions a lot before, but now that Yan Mo specifically raised them, he couldn't help thinking deeply again.
After a long time, Yu Wu suddenly said: "This place was specially selected by Kunpeng for us. There are huge freshwater lakes and saltwater lakes. After we migrated here from the ocean, the fertility crisis has indeed been lifted, but not all. We still have difficulty in giving birth. For this reason, the salt lake is right next to us, and we dare not take salt, for fear that the salt will do great harm to our fertility, but we are naturally eager to get salt. At this moment you are here …”
Yu Wu stretched out his fingers, which were longer than ordinary people, and pointed his sharp claws at the young man, "You are here, and you have sent red salt to our mermaid warriors. Haisen... our patriarch gave me the red salt you sent After I tasted it, I thought he was teasing me, but I didn’t know until I tasted the red salt. The taste of the salt was different from what I had tasted in the red salt lake. Haisen and I tried it ourselves, Found that the fine salt you send us does us no harm, and can satisfy our thirst for salt."
Even the refined fine salt can improve the mermaid's combat effectiveness and physical strength if taken in a certain proportion. Of course, Yu Wu would not explain this to Yan Mo.
"I went to see how you refine fine salt."
Hearing what Yu Wu said, Yan Mo's expression remained unchanged. Ever since he knew that the mermaid tribe had such a powerful witch, he didn't expect to be able to hide much from him. He just said slowly: "The salt lake belongs to Jiuyuan."
Yu Wu sneered, "Don't worry, I didn't intend to steal your salt lake. I've seen your method of refining fine salt. The salt drying process was fine before, and we mermaids can barely do it, but the later cooking is difficult. Not suitable for us mermaids."
"Because of the fire?"
"There is also the smell from the cooking process, which is very bad for mermaids."
Yan Mo was wondering which chemical substances would have harmful effects on mermaids, potassium, magnesium, bromine? or something else? This also seems to be a very interesting topic. If the harmful substances to mermaids can be analyzed, it can not only threaten mermaids, but also help them solve their fertility problems.
Wait, why is this perverted fish so honest tonight? He even said such a secret thing, isn't he afraid that he will use this to strangle him? Or raise the price of fine salt
Yan Mo raised his head, and Yu Wu met his eyes.
Looking at the beauty under the starlight, the background is the mirror-like lake surface reflecting the starlight, and the hazy island in the distance is like a fairyland.
"Don't tempt me, I'm not interested in sleeping with you." Yan Mo was tired from standing, so he found a big rock and sat down.
Yu Wu chuckled, tapped his fingernails on the stone surface, and made an aggressive sound, "You asked me out tonight, and you mentioned the problem of our family's difficulty in giving birth. Is it possible that you have a way to solve it?"
"You avoided me and went to my family Ah Zhan twice. Could it be that you fell in love with him? Want to give birth to him?"
Yu Wu giggled and laughed, "Little guy, if you want me to tell you how to fuse the bloodstone, you have to come up with something more exciting to me."
"I can help you, but I don't guarantee success."
Yu Wu was very satisfied with this sentence. The fertility problem of mermaids has not been solved for thousands of years, and he does not believe that a little human priest can solve this eternal problem. But since the other party can produce a medicine to sterilize fish, it must be of some help to him. On the contrary, if Yan Mo dared to pat his chest to guarantee that he would be able to solve this problem, he would have slapped him into the lake earlier.
Seeing that Yu Wu accepted his statement, Yan Mo also put on a doctor's attitude towards patients, "Tell me what your specific problem is? Is it difficult to get pregnant, or easy to miscarry when pregnant? Or is it difficult for the cub to survive?"
Hearing that Yan Mo's questions were all on point, Yu Wu couldn't help nodding, and at the same time, a little hope rose in his heart, "It's the first two, both of them."
"We will deal with specific problems one by one. Are there any pregnant mermaids? Preferably around three. I want to observe and take care of them nearby."
"Are you coming to the lake?"
"Impossible. In this way, I will set aside a special area in the inner city for you mermaids. Whether you dig a lake or build a temple, you can do whatever you want. The location is close to the grove where I live, just to the east of the city. How?" Yan Mo had planned this for a long time, and this time he just took the opportunity to propose it, which is not against the peace.
This condition is only good for the mermaid clan, and Yu Wu agreed on the spot.
"It will take time to solve and study your fertility problems, but you can't wait for Ah Zhan's situation. Even if you refuse to tell me the final fusion method, at least tell me how to alleviate his current situation?"
"I can tell you one of the methods. You know this method. It is to fuse a water or earth attribute blood stone. Of course, you must use the correct fusion method, and you must know where the corresponding attribute blood stone is. "
"Where? How to integrate?"
"Let me tell you the fusion method first. This fusion method can also rely on the fusion of water-attributed or earth-attributed energy spars to alleviate the physical damage caused by the fire-attributed bloodstone to your leader. Wait until you find out why pregnant women in our family are prone to miscarriages Or after helping to reduce miscarriages, I will tell you the whereabouts of an earth attribute bloodstone."
"We don't have water or earth energy crystals."
"I can provide it, but you have to use fine salt in exchange."
"make a deal!"
