Mermaid Lake, located in the corner of Dongcheng, is actually an expansion of the ring-shaped river surrounding the most central area, that is, the river behind Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan's residence, and a secret passage dug under the Dongcheng Gate to connect with Qingyuan Lake.
"Borrow your site first, and I will build an island in the lake in the future, and I won't let them disturb you." Yu Wu immediately explained when Yan Mo's eyes fell on several mermaids on the shore.
"No, this place is very big, and I don't have to walk too much." Yan Mo expressed his indifference, and walked quickly to the shore of the lake, where a female fish was being held in the arms of a strong male fish, The mermaid had a painful expression, her eyes closed as if she had passed out.
Yu Wu appeared next to the mermaid, and gently stroked her hair, "I can't let her wake up."
The other mermaids bowed to him together, and the merman said with grief in his eyes, "Great witch."
"Hush, let the priest of the ancestor god see your partner."
Yan Mo nodded, signaling the man to relax, and grabbed the woman's wrist to feel her pulse.
The skin of the mermaid is slightly cool to the touch, and the temperature does not rise after a while. Yan Mo speculates that the mermaid is likely to be a cold-blooded animal, but they do not need hibernation and aestivation. Maybe they just want to reduce energy consumption and let the body temperature increase with Changes due to changes in the external environment. As for whether constant temperature evolved or not, it was still a subject of endless debate in his previous life.
Eothermic animals are not cold-blooded all over. For example, some fish have a part of their body that has higher heat than other places to provide enough energy for the brain or special organs to operate.
Yan Mo let go of the mermaid's wrist, and asked the merman to carry the mermaid ashore, expressing that he wanted to stroke her belly.
The merman looked at Yu Wu, who nodded to him.
The merman immediately carried his lover out of the water with uneasiness.
Yan Mo stretched out his hand to touch the slightly swollen belly of the mermaid. It was very interesting. Mermaids were viviparous, but they were cold-blooded, but... the temperature of the mermaid's abdomen was significantly higher than the rest of her body.
Yan Mo went on to check the birth canal bleeding of the merman, and asked the merman a few more questions. He originally wanted to use acupuncture, but he didn't know the route of the mermaid's blood and energy, and he didn't dare to give the needle easily.
"Are there any other pregnant mermaids? Find at least two more pregnant mermaids, and then find a few non-pregnant adult mermaids."
Yu Wu raised her eyebrows, "You just need to heal her..."
Yan Mo interrupted him rudely, "I have never treated mermaids. At least half of mermaids are different from humans. Do you think I can draw conclusions casually? I asked you to find those mermaids to prove some of my judgments, otherwise you will lose your health." Are you responsible for the mistake?"
Yu Wu choked, "Pregnant mermaids are very precious, we won't let them float to the surface of the lake easily."
"I must see other pregnant mermaids." Yan Mo couldn't refuse.
Seeing his expression, Yu Wu told Ramon, "Go and bring the two pregnant mermaids. If the elders ask, just say that I agree, and they can follow if they don't worry."
"Yes." Ramon sank into the lake.
"In addition, you have to help me collect some information, which will help me judge and speculate on the reasons why you are not easy to get pregnant and have miscarriages." Yan Mo looked serious, and he has always been serious and careful in his profession.
"you say."
"First, how deep was the ocean you lived in before, and how is it compared to Qingyuan Lake? Second, is the bottom of the sea cold, or is it colder at the bottom of Qingyuan Lake? Third, the food you often ate or loved when you lived in the ocean, Qingyuan Lake Do you have it too? If so, please bring it up for me to see. Fourth, do your pregnant women have any taboos, that is, what not to eat during pregnancy? Or what must they eat? Fifth, do your pregnant women and their lovers eat during pregnancy? Is there mating behavior? Has anyone had a miscarriage during or after mating? How many? Sixth, do your pregnant women have a special place to wait for delivery, and do they need to change their living environment?"
Yu Wu has been troubled by the reproduction of mermaids for many years. As soon as he heard Yan Mo's question, he felt that it was reliable. The little priest was not fooling him. He had judged that the deep sea environment might not be suitable for mermaid production before, so he worked hard to get this mermaid Take it to Qingyuan Lake.
"Food, temperature, environment, behavior, what else?"
Yan Mo pondered for a while, "There are also changes in the ability and personality of mermaids before and after pregnancy."
Yan Mo raised his head, "Should you have some medicines that can protect or prevent miscarriage? Show it to me, I want to analyze the ingredients, and you have to tell me how effective it is. For example, how long does it take to be effective when you are pregnant, and under what circumstances? Medication is completely ineffective."
Yu Wu agreed with all of them.
Yan Mo turned to the merman again, "I have a few questions, you must answer me truthfully, concealing me will only put your partner in danger, and the child is irreparable."
"You ask, as long as it doesn't endanger our clan, I won't hide anything from you." The merman gritted his teeth.
"Do you know why your partner is about to have a miscarriage? What did she do or eat before she expressed discomfort? Any changes in mood?"
The merman recalled: "Because it is not easy for us to get pregnant, we will be very careful when we have children. After we find out that we have children, we will send our partners to Elder Ren."
Yu Wu said: "Elder Ren once gave birth to the most children, and she has been responsible for taking care of the pregnant mermaids until they give birth."
"That is to say, all your pregnant women live in the same environment? Do they also eat the same food?"
"No, their partners are with them, and most of the food they eat is still brought by their partners."
"Then what did you feed your partner before?"
The merman quickly replied: "It's what she usually eats, including water vegetables, small fish and shrimp, and fruits from the island."
"Give me all these foods later."
"it is good."
"Did she feel sick after eating, or did she do something else?"
The merman had a painful expression, "She said she had a stomachache and wanted to bask in the sun, so I took her to the surface of the lake, but after a while, she just, just..."
"Where did you bask in the sun? Is it a place where your pregnant women often go? Take me to see it later."
"it is good."
"What did you do before giving her food?" Yan Mo asked more and more detailed questions.
The symptoms of a pregnant mermaid are easy to judge, that is, from threatened miscarriage to inevitable miscarriage, but the diagnosis of the disease does not mean that it can be treated.
First of all, he doesn't have many medicines that can be used to prevent and prevent miscarriage, and the most important thing is that these medicines are used for human beings. He doesn't know whether they will be effective or even poisonous for mermaids.
So he had to analyze the mermaid's daily food and the medicine Yu Wu gave them, first find out what is harmful and beneficial to the pregnant mermaid, and then conduct an accurate scan on the pregnant mermaid in the laboratory to get the other party's blood and energy Go through the road map to find out the opponent's lesion to see if it is suitable for acupuncture, and finally use the laboratory to analyze and manufacture drugs suitable for pregnant mermaids.
"I want to take her to the temple."
"The temple?" Yu Wu's eyes flashed.
Yan Mo, "I'm not a god. I can't solve a problem that you can't solve. I have to ask the ancestor god for help. If he can give me a little hint, I might be able to find a solution." Don't worry, she won't die, no matter how bad it is, it will be the same as now."
The merman was worried and wanted to follow.
Yan Mo glared at him with "Do you think it's possible?"
Yu Wu shook his head at the merman. Even he was too embarrassed to ask Yan Mo to take him to a place like the temple.
"Before you go to the temple, you have to bring me all the food and medicines I mentioned for pregnant women."
"Okay, I'll get them all ready. During this time, I'll take you to the place where pregnant women bask in the sun."
After that, Yan Mo asked Yu Wu to take him to a small island in the lake, where he collected some stones where pregnant mermaids often lay down, and collected some nearby plants.
After Ramon delivered all the things Yan Mo asked for, Yan Mo asked someone to send a message to Yuan Zhan, saying that he would come back at 3 pm five days later and bring the unconscious mermaid into the laboratory.
On the way, Yan Mo came out and brought two healthy pregnant mermaids and adult mermaids into the laboratory after being knocked out by Yu Wu respectively.
This time, he paid a high price. Five mermaids entering the laboratory equals 5,000 scum points, not counting the scum points he increased by using the equipment.
But thinking of Yu Wu's promise and his own interest in mermaids, I don't think these extra scumbags are worth it.
In fact, the scan and analysis would not take five days at all, but Yan Mo specially extended the time in order to let Yu Wu and the mermaids feel his hard work and difficulty.
Of course, the extra four or five days are not in vain. Yan Mo collected the most detailed body information of the mermaids through the instruments in the laboratory, analyzed the food and medicine provided by all the mermaids, and compared the body information of the other mermaids. Finally, Yan Mo roughly understood the reason why the mermaid had a miscarriage.
And as long as the reason is found, the remaining problems will not be difficult to solve, at least he can keep the mermaid and the child in her belly.
In the end, Yan Mo's combination of acupuncture and medicine saved the mermaid's fetus.
Five days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Mo came out of the laboratory. The mermaid's partner and family members by the lake were there, and they surfaced together as soon as they saw him.
Yu Wu also arrived ahead of time, "How? What did the ancestor god say?"
"I may have a way to save your future fetuses, but the rest will take time." Yan Mo handed the mermaid to Yu Wu and her anxious partner.
Yu Wu was stunned, as if he didn't fully understand Yan Mo's words.
The merman asked eagerly: "How is Dasha? Child..."
Yan Mo nodded, and just said: "Keep it." Then he saw a dazzling ray of light on his right palm, and this ray of light soon spread all over his body.
Yuan Zhan was rushing from the stone house at this time, and when he arrived at the shore, he saw Yan Mo's body emitting a strange light and then fell down.
Yu Wu and the mermaids were also taken aback. Yu Wu woke up and hurried to catch Yan Mo.
They all saw the dazzling light suddenly emerging from Yan Mo's body, and they also saw Yan Mo fall down.
Yuan Zhan exerted strength on his legs, let out a loud roar, and charged quickly, barely catching Yan Mo's limp body.
"What did you do?!" Yuan Zhan yelled at the mermaids holding Yan Mo.
"Wait! Don't be impulsive!" Even if Yu Wu could resist the original battle, he couldn't help a high-level soil-controlling warrior with energy of level seven or near level eight going crazy.
"We didn't hurt him. You also know that he took our people to the temple. As soon as he came out, he passed out after saying a few words. We don't know what happened. Maybe the ancestor god is calling him?" Yu Wu Appeasing Yuan Zhan, he hurriedly checked the mermaid again.
When he found that the mermaid's body had basically recovered and the fetus was preserved, he was immediately ecstatic! The little priest actually saved the fetus that was about to be aborted! And what did the little priest tell him before? Does it mean that he has the means to keep all the fetuses conceived by the mermaid in the future? He heard right, right
Yu Wu told the female fish's partner the good news, and the male fish also heard Yan Mo's words of "keeping it", but he was still a little skeptical, until he heard Yu Wu's confirmation, wept with joy on the spot, and hugged his wife tightly.
"Big Witch, why hasn't Dasha woke up?"
"It was my previous Wuli who made her sleep. It won't hurt her. You send her to Elder Ren first, and I will go to find you later." Yu Wu had to keep an eye on Yuan Zhan first, lest this Guy goes crazy. And he was also worried about the little priest, if anyone in this world besides Yuan Zhan and Jiuyuan people didn't want anything to happen to Yan Mo, it would be him!
He managed to find a witch who might be able to solve the problem of mermaid fertility, how could he just disappear like this
Yuan Zhan hugged Yan Mo, and stared fiercely at Yu Wu, "You'd better let the ancestor god bless my Mo to be fine!"
"Let me see. Don't stare at me, I can swear with my own soul that I will never hurt him. You are not a witch, leave it to me, at least I can see if his body is healthy." Yu Wu stretched out his hand, His face was extremely sincere.
Yan Mo didn't know that Yuan Zhan was about to fight Yu Wu outside because of his sudden coma.
He was pulled into a very empty space, and the surroundings centered on him were pitch black, but there were gorgeous and beautiful nebulae in the distance.
The pages of a guidebook appeared before his eyes, but the pages fell apart and merged again, giving the impression that it was going through some kind of labor pain.
Finally, the shape of the pages of the guide no longer changed, and became stable again, and the pages were turned over.
Paragraph after paragraph of hints and statistics appear on the page.
finally come!
Yan Mo had been waiting for this statistic for a long time, but he didn't expect the guide to respond until today.
It's strange, if you don't come sooner or later, why do you come at this time? Could it be that Yuan Zhan did something else during these five days, so that it triggered some kind of chain reaction, reaching the point where the guide could deduct points for him
But even so, why was he pulled here? It's never been like this before.
There are a lot of data that appeared earlier, all of which are the scum value reduction accumulated by saving people, implementing policies, and educating people during this period of time.
The slaves traded with Morgan cost him about 60,000 points.
Rescue the Yanshan tribe, and let him lose about 20,000 points.
The Granma and the rest of the original voluntarily joined the tribe, minus nearly 40,000 points.
Turning an enemy into a friend with a mandrill, saved a fight, and was reduced by 10,000 points.
His total scum value reduction before was 1,120,843 points, but now it has become 1,254,468 points.
These point reduction data prompts were the same as before, but what the guide displayed next surprised him a bit.
—Because the exile saved more than a thousand humans from being slaves at one time, and achieved the first level achievement of the saint.
——Because the exiles have accumulated the loyalty and faith of more than a thousand humans, they have achieved the second level of sainthood achievement. Start the statistics of faith points, and reward the primary use of faith points. Note 1: Faith points can be used to reduce the value of scum, and can also be used to save creatures and self-rescue, with a wide range of uses. Note 2: If you gain more than 10,000 people's beliefs, you can reach the third level of saint achievement, and the scum point reduction will be doubled. I hope that the exiles will continue to work hard and achieve this achievement as soon as possible.
——Because the population of the tribe established by the exiles has reached more than 4,000, which exceeds the average population of the tribe in the world, this guide will open the tribal leader mode reward and punishment standards for the exiles. Note 1: In the future, unless there is a direct order from the exile, the vicious behavior of the inheritor will not be counted against the exile. But if the exile directly ordered, the vicious behavior of the inheritor and the orderee will double the scum value and return it to the exile.
If Yan Mo was somewhat surprised by these three hints, then the latest hint below made him feel shocked and deeply puzzled.
—The exiles, through their own professional knowledge and unremitting efforts, solved the problem of the continuation of the offspring of the intelligent creature mermaids in this world, and the degree reached 35%. Due to the far-reaching and huge impact, the scum value was sentenced to a reduction of 3.5 million points.
Yan Mo just excitedly thought, if he can completely solve the problem of difficulty in giving birth to mermaids, will he be able to reduce the scum value by 10 million points at once. The next section of the guide gave him a slap in the face!
—The mermaid family is powerful and is at the top of the food chain. The difficulty of continuation of offspring conforms to the natural development rules of creatures in this world. If the exiles completely solve the problem of continuation of the mermaid family's offspring, it will have a joint impact on other creatures and the environment in this world. At present, due to the difficulty of calculating the impact mode, it is impossible to further speculate on the degree of pros and cons to the subsequent development of this world. Therefore, the exile will not be punished for increasing the scum value, but the exile must accept the penalty of aging, and the punishment time is 350 sky.
"Damn it! Then if you let me come into this world, wouldn't it have affected the natural development of this world? I am a doctor, and I will naturally treat patients when I see them. What's wrong with me?" Yan Mo was annoyed.
It was impossible for the guide to answer him, but the next paragraph it showed seemed to answer him.
——Because the exiles have solved the problem of the continuation of some mermaid descendants, this guide will open the intelligent creature rescue plan mode for the exiles. If you refuse, you must do your best to help the creature. Unless you are incapable, the scum value will be calculated by ten times. But if the treatment is successfully performed, the scum value will be doubled.
Yan Mo was speechless for a long while, "...Hey, at least I lost so many scum points all at once, except for the use of the bullshit belief points, there are no other rewards at all? Don't be so stingy, okay?"
No one paid any attention to him, the guide probably solved the logical problem and kicked him out of this space.
When Yan Mo woke up, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Yuan Zhan's eyes full of pain and anger.
