Qi Huan: "..."
He also just became a mermaid, and he really doesn't know how to sing and purify. Now that Martha is rushing ducks to the shelves, how does Qi Wang know what to sing
"What song to sing?"
Qi Wang asked, and at this time Martha wrapped the mutating Sefuli with eight huge octopus legs, and Sefuli's body had swelled so much that Martha could hardly control her.
"You can sing whatever you want. It's best to sing with passion and vigor. Hurry up! If Sifli mutates completely, there's really no way I can save her!"
Sifli is a child who grew up by herself. Although Martha occasionally dislikes Sifli and feels that her love brain makes people speechless during this time, she really regards Sifli as her own. Seen like a child, Martha felt like she was going to pump and crack if she did turn into a sea monster.
Seeing that Martha's intertwined octopus legs have been stretched and swelled up, through those tiny gaps, Qi Wang vaguely saw Sifli wrapped inside.
The original Sifli had the appearance of a fishtail, her upper body was human, but at this time she looked extremely bad, the human shape faded, and transformed into an unknown direction, her fair skin was cracked, revealing The scarlet flesh inside came, and the blood flowing out of her body seemed to be corrosive, and fell on Martha's huge octopus legs, corroding small potholes in an instant.
Martha was trembling with pain, and once again urged Qi Wang to come.
"Sing it!"
She is about to lose control of Sefuli, if she does not change Sefuli back to her original appearance, then she will completely turn into a sea monster, and the mermaid who becomes a sea monster has only one end in the end, then It is killed by other sea creatures.
"Sifli, hold on, think about your parents, you don't want to become a sea monster..."
Martha yelled towards Sifli, but Sifli's consciousness was completely in chaos at this time, so where could she hear Martha's shout? Her body was constantly expanding, and rows of spikes grew from her arms and back. Those spikes pierced Martha's tentacles, and dark green blood spurted out instantly.
After being attacked, Martha spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though there was a piercing pain from the tentacles, she still endured it and did not let go of the tentacles controlling Sifly.
If even she gave up on Sefuli, then Sefuli really has no way of turning back.
At this moment, a clear singing voice came from the side—
"The smoke rises, and the country looks north..."
The soul-stirring singing voice reverberated in the cave, and the singing voice turned into sound waves that entangled Sifli in circles. The loud and clear singing voice carried an indomitable momentum, suppressing the mutating Sifli.
"Hate the direction of the sword, how many loyal brothers and sisters buried their bones..."
A louder singing voice turned into a sound wave, carrying the gold and iron horse, and scattered the whispering voice that was everywhere. Those negative emotions were strangled by this passionate singing voice, which was so dull that it made people feel The oppressive atmosphere suddenly disappeared.
Martha's eight tentacles loosened, and the Saffrey wrapped in her rolled out. At this time, she had returned to the appearance of a mermaid, but her body was covered with deep and shallow scars. It's like being fished out of blood.
"Sifry!"
A few of Martha's tentacles were also seriously injured, but she didn't care about it, and swam to Sifli's side quickly, and hugged her up.
She was afraid that the injuries just now made Sifli lose her life, and the hands holding Sifli were trembling. Fortunately, her heartbeat was still beating normally. Although her breath was a little weak, she was still alive after all. The hanging heart finally let go, she hugged Sifli tightly, a tear flowed from the corner of her eyes.
Great, she's still alive.
Afterwards, Martha had to help Sifli treat the wound, and it was inconvenient for Qi Wang to stay here. She didn't wait for Martha to speak, and swam to the cave outside to wait.
He did not expect that the song he sang could actually purify the infected Sifli and make her look like a mermaid again. The reason for this is not clear yet, it should be unique to this world rules and settings.
It was not without warning before the change in Sifli. Qi Wang heard the voices he heard when he was in the sea of death, and Qi Wang felt that those voices should have caused the change in Sifli.
Even a man with a firm mind like him would be affected after hearing those voices, not to mention Sifli, it was extremely normal for her to be affected and then change.
However, Martha surprised expectations a bit. Affected by those voices, Sefuli began to change towards the appearance of a sea monster, but Martha did not have any influence. Even if it is doubled, it can still block Sefuli and restrict Sefuli's actions, which shows her combat effectiveness.
Qi Wang reckoned that either this shape and sound would only affect mermaids, or because Martha had special skills to block these sounds, he thought the possibility of the former was higher.
Thinking of this, Qi Wang seemed to suddenly think of something, he quickly swam towards the entrance of the cave, then leaned over and looked outside.
Sifli is not the only mermaid in this sea area, there are other mermaids living here. Sifli is affected, and when she mutates into a sea monster, he can help purify her, but the other mermaids don’t have another relative. presumptuous.
However, everything outside was as usual, and there was no chaos as Qi Wang had imagined. In this sea area, it seemed that only one mermaid, Sifli, was infected and mutated into a sea monster. The other mermaids had no effect. Qi Wang even saw two young mermaids chasing and fighting not far away. They looked very normal and showed no signs of infection.
Could it be that his speculation was wrong
Qi Wang always felt that something was ignored by him, after looking outside for a while, seeing that there was nothing to see, Qi Wang withdrew his gaze and returned to the cave.
After such a short period of time, Martha has treated the wounds on Sefuli's body, and Sefuli's condition has improved a bit. At this time, she is still in a coma and has no signs of waking up, while Martha quietly swims from the bedroom. He came out and sat down on the big rock opposite Qi Wang.
Qi Wang's eyes fell on Martha's thick tentacles, but found that the wounds on her tentacles had recovered as before, and the traces of previous injuries had disappeared.
Martha noticed Qi Wang's gaze, and said openly, "Our octopuses are very resilient. We can grow back any broken tentacles, not to mention minor injuries. What's more, I'm still a witch at the bottom of the sea. , there is always a way to save your life."
Qi Wang nodded, and after inquiring about Sifli's situation, he didn't say anything more.
The underwater world seems to be bright regardless of day or night, but creatures like them also need sleep. Of course, because there is no limit to day and night, the time to sleep will not be fixed at a certain time. Rest, go out to find food when you wake up, life seems to be more leisurely than the human world.
Usually, there is Sifli who chatters in his ears, takes him to see the sea scenery together, and shows him all kinds of treasures she has collected. The treasures of the sea, all kinds of gems, jewelry, she collected and hid them in hidden places in caves.
She said it was her key to enter Atlantis, and only when she collected enough treasures could she enter Atlantis.
"The gates of Atlantis are about to open. Does she still have a chance to enter the city with such serious injuries?"
This is what Qi Wang is more worried about. According to Sifli, the gates of Atlantis will only be opened every twenty years, and the inhabitants of the sea who want to enter Atlantis must take advantage of this time. The opportunity to pay enough fees to enter the life of Atlantis.
"If I could live in Atlantis, then I would no longer have to be afraid of sea monster attacks, and I wouldn't have to worry about being infected there. By that time, I should be able to live a normal life."
For so many years, Sifli managed to save enough expenses. She has been waiting for the day when the gate of Atlantis is opened in her dreams. If she is unable to enter Atlantis because of her injury now , Qi Wang felt that Sifli would be very sad after waking up.
Martha took a deep look at Qi Wang and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, she can wake up before the city gate opens."
Having said that, Martha paused for a moment, and the expression on her face became extremely complicated. After a long time, she slowly said, "Aren't you curious?"
Qi Wang looked at Martha, and asked back: "What are you curious about? Isn't Sefuli okay now? What else should I be curious about?"
Seeing Qi Wang like this, Martha choked, thinking that this mermaid never played cards according to common sense, so many things happened, as a mermaid who just entered the underwater world, shouldn't he have a curious heart? heart? You have to ask everything, is it the correct way to open him if you don't know why? It's really irritating to be careless about everything like now, and not care about anything.
"It's fine if you're not curious. I wanted to tell you about the sea monster, but since you don't seem to care much, then I don't need to tell you."
Qi Wang: "Oh."
Martha: "…"
This is the end? Does he know how many secrets he knows as a sea witch who has lived for thousands of years? Others want to hear her tell the secret, but they have to do everything possible to hear it. If the exchange terms they bring do not satisfy Martha, Martha will not tell those people what they know.
But what about Qi Wang? Now he can obviously hear her secret, but he put on such a look, which is really annoying.
Does he know what he missed
Martha fantasized about how Qi Wang would cry bitterly and regret after knowing the truth of the matter, so that she felt a little more comfortable, and the depression accumulated in her chest finally dissipated.
Forget it, I have lived for more than a thousand years, and Qi Wang is only sixteen years old in terms of human age. He is just a child on the human side, let alone on the mermaid side, he is still a child. As for the baby, why should I care about a child.
"As you saw just now, sea monsters are actually transformed from polluted mermaids."
Qi Huan: "..."
What about not telling him? Why did you say it again now
But since Martha was willing to speak, Qi Wang continued to listen.
Most of the plots that the original owner knows are one-sided, based on what he sees from his perspective, Qi Wang will only know what the original owner knows, and Qi Wang needs to slowly explore what the original owner does not know.
Martha is obviously a key NPC, she should know many unknown secrets, Qi Wang doesn't mind listening to what she has to say, in order to better complement his knowledge of the world.
Martha said that sea monsters did not exist six hundred years ago. At that time, the underwater world was not as dangerous as it is now, and the creatures on the bottom of the sea could freely choose where they lived.
Those who like to be alone can choose to live alone in the quiet sea area, and those who like to be lively can gather together to form small tribes one by one, relying on each other, and it will be more lively.
At that time not all sea creatures wanted to go to Atlantis.
However, more than 600 years ago, a mermaid rescued a human prince. She fell in love with the prince. In order to be with the prince, she exchanged her voice with the witch, obtained the identity of a human, and went ashore to find her own. prince of admiration.
That mermaid was lucky. A mermaid who had never lived on land found her sweetheart through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and stayed by his side as a mistress.
However, the happy life is always very short. The prince the mermaid fell in love with fell in love with the princess of the neighboring country, and wanted to marry her.
The mermaid who turned into a human exists by the love of the prince. When the love disappears, she will become the foam in the sea and disappear forever.
Between becoming a bubble and killing the prince, the mermaid chooses to become a bubble.
"But her death is not the end. She thought she died for love and would not have any resentment, but when it turned into a bubble, the pain of her soul being torn apart still made her feel regretful."
It's just that it was too late for everything at that time, even if she wanted to kill the prince to gain her own chance of survival, she couldn't do it.
"The resentful mermaid princess died. Since then, an unknown virus has appeared in the sea. The mermaid infected with the virus will turn into a brutal and murderous sea monster, attacking all creatures in the sea."
It is also because of this reason that the number of mermaids in the underwater world has dropped sharply, and the remaining mermaids either go to Atlantis for refuge, or gather together to form tribes, large and small, to protect them to the maximum extent. For your own safety.
Because sea monsters like to attack and eat mermaids the most, they seem to seek a way to turn back into mermaids by preying on mermaids.
"If you hadn't sung the song of the mermaid and purified Sifli just now, she would have turned into a cruel and ruthless sea monster who only knows how to kill."
Having said that, the expression on Martha's face changed, she solemnly thanked Qi Wang for saving Sifli.
"Your mermaid song is very special, it is a language I have never heard, but I can hear the vitality of that song, can you tell me where you learned that song ?"
Qi Wang: "I am also a human being. I learned it from a troubadour."
Martha obviously didn't believe what Qi Wang said, but seeing that he didn't want to say more on this question, she didn't continue to ask.
In fact, the song that Qi Huang sang was second. The most important thing was the power he exuded. He could purify the infected mermaid in just one song. This kind of strength is not something everyone can have.
Even members of the royal family with the purest blood may not have such power as him. And Qi Wang is only half of mermaid blood, how could he have such powerful power
Thinking of this, the way Martha looked at Qi Wang changed, and the meaning of inquiry became very obvious.
Qi Wang can naturally see that Martha has some doubts about him, but Qi Wang doesn't care, Qi Wang can clearly feel whether other people are malicious towards him, and Martha has no malice towards him. .
"Do you want to enter Atlantis? If you want, I can help you in."
Martha spoke suddenly.
But Qi Wang shook his head and asked another question: "That sea of death appeared more than ten years ago, right?"
Martha nodded: "Yes, the appearance of the dead sea has increased the chances of mermaids being infected, and many underwater creatures have also perished because of the appearance of the dead sea."
Qi Wang showed a thoughtful expression: "The sea of death was created because of my mother Vivienne?"
Martha didn't deny it.
