When Hao Ren heard the movement from the small square, he turned his head and saw the staff waiting by the signal tower walking towards the blood pool in the center of the square. The red liquid in the blood pool was surging regularly. , the central part is slightly raised, and it seems that something is about to come out of it. Lily lay on the window sill with half a spicy stick in her mouth: "What is that for?"
"That's the process of returning to the real world," Ulanov explained. "Everyone is born from a pool of blood."
Hao Ren was immediately interested, but before he could say anything, he felt something cool and slippery move in his chest, and Doudou pushed out from inside. The little mermaid jumped onto the window sill and patted her tail happily. She was also attracted by the movement outside. When Ulanov saw this mysterious creature, he was stunned: "What is this?"
Hao Ren supported Doudou's body to prevent the little guy from falling from the window sill while explaining: "Uh... my daughter is a mermaid race. You don't have one."
Ulanov looked at Hao Ren in a strange way: "So you walked with your tails just now?"
Hao Ren: "..."
He didn't know how many times he had explained similar problems to others because he was a fish girl. At this time, he had no motivation to speak up at all, but he had to clarify the misunderstanding, so he could only wave his hands weakly: "The situation is very complicated." , This is not my own, the process of adopting this girl is quite special."
Doudou didn't know that she had become the topic of discussion among adults, she just happily waved at the bustling scene in the square, full of curiosity like any normal child. At the same time, she also noticed the wooden window frame beside her. The wood with a light golden luster unique to this planet whetted the little guy's appetite. She opened her mouth and wanted to take a bite, but fortunately, Hao Ren stopped him quickly: All the plants in Tanagus contain a certain amount of gold elements. No matter how good the baby fish's stomach is, it seems that she has not found that she can digest gold...
But at this moment, the situation in the square changed unexpectedly.
After the staff were all ready, the primordial blood surging in the blood pool suddenly calmed down.
As if some kind of transmission process was interrupted, the original blood that had already swelled as high as half a person lost its form in an instant and returned to a calm water surface. The faint red light floating on the liquid also dimmed. The surrounding staff looked at each other not knowing what happened, and then two people ran to the house across the square nervously. It seems to have gone to report the situation in the past.
"What's going on?" Y'zaks asked curiously when he saw this scene.
Ulanov didn't know either. He also just woke up, and now he only got limited common sense from the social adaptation department: "I don't know... It seems that there is something wrong with the recovery process. Let's go and have a look."
Hao Ren and his party hurried to the side of the blood pool. Yizaks grabbed a staff member and asked about the situation. The latter almost slipped into the pool when he saw the great demon's aura—fortunately, he was grabbed by Lily. Hao Ren squatted next to the blood pool to check the status of the source blood, and found that the condition of the latter was similar to inactivation. It is the appearance of being in a suppressed state in the container of the crystal nucleus research station before. The staff member who was almost caught by Yzaks before suffering a myocardial infarction took a breath and began to explain the situation: "The transmission process was suddenly interrupted, and nothing condensed in the original blood."
Hao Ren just wanted to check whether the signal tower next to him had recorded anything, when the data terminal suddenly floated in front of him: "Muru sent you a call."
Hao Ren looked up to the outside of the town, and saw Mulu standing on a distant hill waving to him, gesturing for this side to answer the phone. He asked the data terminal to take over the communication, and he heard Muru say in a hurry: "Is the signal tower over there malfunctioning? Just now Zhuom told me that it lost control of a small blood pool, it seems to be Signal lost."
"I'm checking," Hao Ren said as he walked to the side of the signal tower. After opening the cover of its base, he found the crystal panel that could manually control the device. There are intricate symbols and words floating on the crystal panel, but the status is normal, "The signal tower seems to be fine."
Then he activated the self-inspection program of the Crystal Nucleus Research Station and the monitoring program of the Tanagus Planet Information Center (the latter is an information exchange center set up at the South Pole). However, they found that the information chain from the coffin of life to the blood pool on the surface was completely normal.
Theoretically, the will of the eldest son Zhuo Mu could be transmitted to the blood pool in front of him without hindrance, but the latter refused to respond.
Not just a refusal to respond... there seems to be something else going on.
Lily looked at the pool of "water" curiously. She touched Hao Ren's sleeve: "Landlord, do you think this thing is avoiding you?"
"Avoid me?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that the liquid level in the blood pool was not completely calm. There were slight height differences on the surface. Generally speaking, all the source blood was gathering towards the other side of the pool. , causing this side of the liquid level to be about ten centimeters lower than the other side. For the whole pond, this difference is not big. If it weren't for Lily's eyes, most people would really not pay attention to this point.
Hao Ren thought it was just a coincidence at first, but he tried to walk half a circle around the pond, only to be surprised to find that the liquid level inside really changed as he moved, and the origin blood under his feet was always at the lowest point: these liquids really seemed to be Like hiding from myself.
"This kind of thing has never happened before." Hao Ren frowned and didn't know what was going on. He tested it several times but couldn't find out what caused this phenomenon. He bent down and put his fingers directly into the source blood, feeling warm and moist, without any abnormality, "Why don't you come here, Lily, to taste the saltiness and see if it's expired?"
Lily gritted her teeth immediately: "Why did I come?"
Hao Ren glared: "Nonsense, don't you usually like to put it in your mouth to taste the salt and water first?"
—He also dared to use the source blood here to joke with Lily, because these source bloods are all catalyzed by Zhuomu, and they are mild and harmless products. Even if they get out of control, they will not cause blood tides like the source blood on other planets: There is no hatred of other creatures in this blood.
And when Hao Ren was talking to Lily, Doudou was looking at the pond in front of Hao Ren's collar. The little guy felt that the brightly colored water surface was very interesting. …
The surface of the water alone was enough to trigger the little mermaid's natural instinct: she wanted to go down for a couple of laps.
So she did.
He only heard a plop, and when Hao Ren came to his senses, he saw Doudou's tail flickering in the source blood, causing a small splash of water.
Afterwards, the entire source blood pond erupted in an instant as if it was boiling!
Large pieces of red liquid rolled and rolled away from the point where Doudou fell into the water and scattered in all directions. The liquid level dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. With the sound of splashing water, the source blood pond bottomed out in a few seconds. .
Just like the Red Sea separated by Moses, the original blood receded to both sides of the pond, revealing a large dry bottom in the middle. Doudou closed her eyes at the bottom of the pond and swung her tail vigorously in a swimming posture, "swimming" for a while Then I opened my eyes when I felt something was wrong with the touch. The little guy looked around in confusion, and rushed towards the nearest liquid without hesitation.
So Origin Blood continued to back down.
"They're not avoiding me," Hao Ren was dumbfounded, "They're avoiding Doudou!"
"Anyway, get the little guy out first." Lily was also stunned for a moment, and then she was about to jump down to catch the fish, but Hao Ren stopped her, and then took out a long-handled fishing net bag from the portable space: "I have special tools here."
Lily stared at Hao Ren's "special tool": "Why are you preparing everything?"
"Nonsense, there are everyone in my family," Hao Ren muttered while stretching out the net bag towards Doudou, "I bought this from a fishing tackle shop, I can't believe that I would classify this thing as a babysitter In supplies…”
Doudou jumped into the net bag obediently, and was "fished" out by her father just like that. After the little guy left the pond, Yuan Xue really closed up again.
Then Hao Ren put the little guy into the portable space, and everything went as expected: the blood pool regained its vitality.
"She seems to be able to suppress the activity of source blood?" Elizabeth scratched her horn, "It looks so powerful!"
"It's not as simple as suppressing Yuanxue's activity," Hao Ren said with a more serious expression, "Obviously, Yuanxue is afraid of her... or fears her!" (To be continued~^~)
