Chapter 54

"Honuo!"

The man under the eaves, his hunched back becoming increasingly straighter, his appearance gradually changing, and he said softly in a deep and familiar voice, "Little Dragon, long time no see."

Wu Jian jumped down from the eaves and jumped into He Nuo's arms, saying, "Oh my god, you are really good at pretending. You haven't given me any information for so long."

He Nuo opened his arms and hugged the slightly heavier little dragon cub, and smiled softly, "Didn't I come here to reveal my identity to you?"

Wu Jian complained, "You don't know, I almost died. Someone in the pastor's meeting stabbed me in the back. I almost died."

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the leader of the priests to be a fallen merman."

He Nuo gently touched Wu Jian's forehead, and a red mark flashed.

"The protection of the Heart of the Sacred Tree can repel the mermaid's mental attacks. It will only put you to sleep for a few days and won't affect your body."

Wu Jian narrowed his eyes and looked at He Nuodao, and asked, "Did you know this would happen, so you didn't reveal your identity at the time?"

He Nuo smiled and changed the subject, "I've been by your side the whole time, reminding you. The first time, you saved your friends. The second time, you saved the mermaids. Now, I'm telling you, let your teammates retreat first."

"Why?"

He Nuo said: "The fallen mermaids have made human bombs. As long as you get close to the church, these people will explode."

Wu Jian widened his eyes, thinking he had heard wrongly.

He Nuo said again: "You heard it right, go find them quickly."

"What about you?"

He Nuo said: "I will try my best to destroy those things."

Wu Jian asked in confusion: "No, is he really crazy? There are still so many people in the city?"

He Nuo rubbed Wu Jian's dragon horn and said, "Don't use ordinary people's thinking to think about what a madman thinks. Be good, leave with your teammates first, and wait for me to come find you."

Wu Jian thought about it and decided to listen to He Nuo. After all, he would not joke with him about such a topic.

"Then be careful. I'll go find them first."

He Nuo smiled and nodded, watched Wu Jian leave, then hunched his back again and pushed the cart away.

After Wu Jian and He Nuo separated, they found several people pushing something in an alley.

"Elsa, Coco."

Aisha looked up and saw Wu Jian standing against the wall, flapping his wings. She asked in confusion, "Little dragon, didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the area near the church? Why are you back?"

Wu Jian said, "There's no time to explain. Today's operation is cancelled. Let's retreat first."

"Why?"

"The Clergy have researched human bombs and are just waiting for us to deliver them to them."

Elsa frowned.

Tang Keke asked, "Little Dragon, how did you know?"

"He Nuo told me. Let's retreat first and wait for him to join us. Then he can tell you."

After thinking for a while, they decided to listen to Wu Jian and leave Wuming City first.

Just as they put the kerosene into the space and were about to leave, a group of people came out of the alley.

"Aren't you going to church? Why are you leaving?"

The green-skinned man in the lead questioned Wu Jian and the others.

The five or six players in the green-skinned man's team were in extremely miserable condition, and it seemed that they had not had a good time in the past few days.

Wu Jian saw Hao Shi in the crowd. His condition was not good either. The wound on his face had begun to show signs of suppuration.

While Wu Jian was looking at Hao Shi, Hao Shi was also looking at him, his eyes lighting up, but he did not step forward to talk to him, but huddled up in the team.

Something was not right with Hao Shi. Wu Jian wanted to go up to him and ask him what was going on, but seeing the wary looks of the others, he didn't say anything.

Aisha frowned and said, "We can leave if we want to. What does it have to do with you?"

The green-skinned man said, "We also plan to break into the church and look for a way out. We can cooperate. I don't think you know where we are yet."

Aisha, who had been educated by the elders since childhood, heard the green-skinned man's confident words and couldn't help but ask, pulling down her coat and hat, "Where is this place?" "This is, of course, the ancient ruins and battlefield of the mermaid civilization. We were all brought here by a wormhole in time and space. The church behind the Nameless City may have information about our return. Why are you evacuating at this time? I don't understand. They are just a group of ordinary people. We are powerful people from every civilization. Why should we be afraid of them?"

Aisha sneered and refused to deny it.

When the green-skinned man heard Aisha's sneer, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. However, he needed cannon fodder, and this group of women was just right for him.

He also knew Wu Jian, but he didn't care about Wu Jian's existence at all.

In his opinion, Wu Jian's previous successes had been either due to luck or connections, showing no real skill at all and could be ignored. However, having more cannon fodder would be even better.

"Finding a way out is a win-win for all, isn't that better?"

Aisha is a person of high character. How could she not see what the green-skinned man in front of her was planning? She originally wanted to kindly remind them, but now it seems that it is better to let them fend for themselves.

"Thank you. We don't want to participate. Let's go."

The green-skinned man looked at the backs of the people leaving, and his expression instantly twisted.

Suddenly, a plan came to his mind, and he shouted out to the outside of the alley: "Catch the wanted criminal!"

Aisha cursed inwardly and immediately ran away.

Wu Jian glanced at Hao Shi in the crowd and turned away.

The man in white was half attracted to Wu Jian and the others, while the man in green was still there, feeling smug.

"If you don't cooperate with us, it's not too much to help us draw fire, what a bunch of cowards. This time the energy cube will definitely be ours."

Several people approached the church with confidence.

On the other side, Wu Jian and his companions fled to the beach.

A group of mutants were chasing him relentlessly.

Aisha sighed softly, stopped, stood opposite the man in white, took a deep breath, and said to Wu Jian and the others, "Cover your ears."

The next second, waves of high-pitched sounds swept countless things like a hurricane and hit the man in white.

Wu Jian and others standing on the opposite side felt that their ears no longer belonged to them.

Look at the enemies, they are twisted and disorganized, even worse off than them.

Aisha lowered her voice and gestured for everyone to leave.

With the sound of a splash as they jumped into the water, Aisha and her companions left easily. This time there were no tentacle monsters chasing them, and they escaped very easily.

When they swam to a certain distance, a few of them emerged from the sea and looked at the nameless city with bright lights.

"There's no movement. Could it be that He Nuo is teasing you?"

"Bang!"

Just as Aisha finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard in the nameless city.

The originally dark sky was half illuminated by the orange-red flames.

Aisha: "I take it back. Let's just go back."

Lina, who was the last one left, looked towards the Nameless City with some feeling.

When Wu Jian was halfway through swimming, he felt that someone was missing from the team. He looked back and found Lina floating in the sea without moving.

He turned back again.

"Lina, why don't you leave..."

Wu Jian stopped talking halfway and stared blankly at Lina's glowing fish tail.

Lina swung her glowing fish tail as if dancing, spinning and jumping. Her movements were very graceful and full of ancient ritual beauty.

Woo——

A clear and pleasant voice penetrates the ocean, as if calling from afar.

Aisha, who was walking back, suddenly stopped when she heard the soft humming sound.

"The voice of the guide."

Wu Jian was waiting beside Lina, shouting non-stop, his voice echoing throughout the entire ocean, as if guiding his fellow lost people in the distance.

Aisha returned, stopped beside Wu Jian, and looked at Lina dancing in the sea.

Wu Jian saw Aisha coming and asked quickly, "Sister Aisha, where is Lina?"

Aisha explained: "She is leading the way for other mermaids."

"Other mermaids, could it be that Brother He released all the mermaids in the laboratory back into the sea?" Wu Jian muttered to himself.

Aisha didn't say anything, her tail began to glow, and a clear sound came out of her throat. She continued this dance that seemed like praying to God, following Lina's rhythm.

After nearly half an hour of trying to sink to the bottom of the sea, Lina was rescued by Wu Jian and his men, who held her up and waited quietly.

Wu Jian didn't know what they were waiting for, but he just had to wait.

Aisha's voice lasted for nearly an hour, then she stopped and looked into the distance.

After waiting for a long time, no creature came near.

Aisha said hoarsely, "Let's go."

Wu Jian expected something to appear, so he walked three times, but still nothing came near.

Everyone returned to the cave where they had abandoned the boat and roasted the fish they had caught on the way back over the fire.

Wu Jian stood beside the shell bed, staring at the unconscious Lina in a daze.

Aisha walked over and patted Wu Jian on the shoulder.

"Eat something out. She's just exhausted. Let her rest."

Wu Jian and Aisha walked out of the cabin. Tang Keke and Zhao Qing were grilling fish, but their minds were not on the fish.

"The fish is burnt."

Wu Jian reminded.

Tang Keke turned the fish over and found that one side was burnt.

"Sorry, I got distracted. Bake another one!"

Wu Jian grabbed a fish and was about to put it on the fire when Aisha snatched it away.

"What?"

Wu Jian said innocently, "I'm grilling fish."

Aisha didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What kind of grilled fish is this? I'll do it."

Wu Jian was pushed aside by Aisha and started grilling the fish himself with very skillful movements.

"Sister Aisha, why is Lina suddenly like this?"

Wu Jian’s question was also what Tang Keke and Zhao Qing wanted to ask. Three pairs of eyes looked at Aisha at the same time.

Aisha said, "This ability is called the Sea God's Sacrifice Dance. It's performed to guide those lost in the sea and their own kind. However, it's also occasionally performed when courting."

"This is the first time I've seen a mermaid perform a prayer dance. It's so beautiful."

"But is it normal for Lina to fall into a coma after dancing?"

Wu Jian's words made Aisha pause, then she shook her head.

"This is the first time I've seen her in this state. Logically, performing the Sea God Sacrifice Dance is very beneficial to mermaids, but why did Lina faint? I can only wait until she wakes up and ask her."

No one spoke, only the fire in the bonfire was burning.

It was just dawn. Wu Jian leaned against the mast, yawned, and looked towards the cave entrance.

Tang Keke came out of the cabin and called Wu Jian.

"Lina is awake."

Wu Jian immediately slid down from the mast.

Inside the cabin.

Aisha and Zhao Qing didn't sleep and they all surrounded Lina.

Lina, who was lying on the shell bed, looked up in Wu Jian's direction and smiled, "Little, dragon, cub."

Wu Jian said happily: "Lina, you can speak now!"

Lina nodded, her blue eyes sparkling like sapphires.

Wu Jian was genuinely happy for Lina, "That's great."

Aisha waited for the two to finish talking before asking Lina why she suddenly performed the Poseidon Dance.

"Sea God Sacrifice Dance?" Lina shook her head. "I didn't do any dancing. I just heard a lot of people crying. I don't know what happened after that."

"Crying?" Aisha asked puzzledly, "But I didn't hear anyone crying. Did you hear any?"

Tang Keke and Zhao Qing shook their heads.

Wu Jian is not a mermaid, so he doesn't know.

Aisha asked, "Can you describe the sound you heard in detail?"

Lina was silent for a while, as if trying hard to recall the voice she heard.

"The sounds I heard were very strange. They sounded like many people crying and wailing. They were in pain and hoped that I could save them."

Aisha thought for a long time, then looked at Wu Jian and asked, "Did He Nuo mention who was going to be used as the human bomb in yesterday's explosion?"

Wu Jian was stunned and shook his head.

"Brother He didn't say anything."

Aisha's face was heavy. "What if those people used mermaids as test subjects?"

The people present were stunned for a moment.

Tang Keke said in disbelief: "No way?"

Zhao Qing shook his head. "It's not a matter of whether we can or cannot. We are just test subjects for the experiment. If there is a way to recycle the waste, the priests would probably be happy to design a human bomb. Maybe the screams Lina heard were from those discarded mermaids."

Bang!

Aisha hammered the iron sheet, and a layer of concave marks instantly appeared on it.

She couldn't help cursing, "Damn this parsonage!"

Wu Jian's heart ached as if it were blocked by a thick layer of sponge. He said with difficulty, "How painful it must be for them."

Everyone was silent.

Yes, it hurts so much.

They are obviously cloned mermaids, but they were once normal people with their own thoughts. They must have been in pain when their bodies were blown apart.

"We must get rid of the priests before we leave!" Tang Ke said coldly.

Wu Jian looked up at the window. The sunlight shone in through the cave, and the water surface was shimmering, which was very beautiful.

Mermaids who like sea water would have loved this scene, but they fell into a deep sleep last night.

Just when Wu Jian felt a little sad, he found something wrong with the cave entrance. He rubbed his eyes and saw a pair of fish tails emerging. He quickly called others over.

"Am I seeing things? It looks like a mermaid is coming!"

Wu Jian's voice attracted others to approach the window and look towards the cave entrance with doubt.

Aisha said, "I'm not seeing things, there really are mermaids!"

"Get on board!"

Several people came out of the cabin and stood on the deck. They saw fish tails appearing one after another, and then they heard the long and low cries of mermaids.

Wu Jian said: "Mermaids, so many mermaids!"

When he was flying in the air above the water, a man emerged from the water and pushed Wu Jian into the water.

"Little dragon!"

Tang Keke, Zhao Qing, and Lina were about to jump into the sea without thinking, but were stopped by Aisha.

"Aisha, why are you stopping us? Can't you see the little dragon cub is in danger?"

"yes!"

"Um!"

Aisha rolled her eyes and said, "Take another good look."

Wu Jian, who had just been pulled down, emerged from the water the next second sitting on someone's shoulders.

"Honuo!"

Hearing someone calling his name, He Nuo turned around and waved to everyone on the deck.

Wu Jian struggled and said, "Brother He, water has entered my ears!"

He Nuo then swam to the deck, put the little dragon cub on his shoulders, and climbed onto the deck very easily. He used a towel to wipe the seawater off Wu Jian's scales.

"Okay, now what?"

Wu Jian shook himself off, and the seawater that had not touched his body was splashed everywhere.

He Nuo calmly wiped the sea water off his face.

Wu Jian said: "I feel comfortable now."

He Nuo pinched Wu Jian's dragon horn punitively and smiled lightly.

Woo——

Mermaids emerged from the water one after another, densely packed, filling the entire cave entrance.

The cave entrance was originally very spacious, as big as two basketball courts, but now it is crowded with a large number of mermaids.

Wu Jian was shocked and asked, "Brother He, you rescued so many mermaids?"

He Nuo held the little cub in his arms again and rubbed his dragon horns.

"Wait a minute, I'll need your teammates' help."

"ah?"

Woo——

When its stomach was cut open and the steel ball covered with mucous membrane was taken out, the mermaid couldn't help but scream.

Wu Jian covered his eyes and listened to the mermaid's painful howls, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

When Aisha was taking the monster eggs, he didn't feel anything. It was not until he saw the mermaids' stomachs being cut open and the explosives being taken out that his heart began to tremble with the mermaids' screams.

At this moment, a pair of slender hands covered Wu Jian's eyes and said, "I don't want to look anymore."

Wu Jian was carried into the cabin by He Nuo and placed on a shell bed.

"How many mermaids have been stuffed with explosives?"

He Nuo thought for a while and said, "About two hundred people."

Wu Jian gasped, "A bunch of lunatics."

He Nuo said, "Those priests were smart. They evacuated the church before the explosion, leaving only the mermaids inside. When a group of players broke into the church, they immediately detonated the bomb. I could only try my best to save some of the mermaids."

“That group of people…”

"It's impossible to survive."

When Wu Jian thought of Hao Shi, he couldn't help but say in his heart, what a pity.

"Looking at the number of mermaids, have you rescued all of them?"

"It's almost all here."

"Looking at the number, there are at least over 500 of them. That's a lot of mermaids."

Wu Jian lay by the window and looked at the mermaids in the cave. They were very young, mostly boys and girls.

The elderly mermaids who were used as experimental subjects should have disappeared long ago.

"By the way, Brother He, what brought you here?"

He Nuo was taking something out of his pocket and answering Wu Jian's question.

"I came in a few days earlier than you."

"So what did you find out this time..."

Crash!

A pure white stone fell on the bed, interrupting Wu Jian's words.

Wu Jian's eyes were instantly attracted by the white stone in front of him.

“So many pearls!”

He Nuo grabbed a handful of white stones and passed them over Wu Jian's head, saying, "These are not pearls, but the energy stones in the bodies of those monsters."

"What!" Wu Jian picked up a pure white stone and looked at it in surprise, then took out the pearl that Lina gave him from the space for comparison, and there were indeed differences.

The tentacle monster's energy stone is brighter and smaller than pearls, has no luster, and can be seen with some red threads, proving that these stones once grew inside the monster's body.

Wu Jian seemed to have missed out on a hundred million. He said with great regret, "We killed a lot of tentacle monsters. If we had known earlier, we would have peeled their bodies to see if there were any energy stones. I thought they were test subjects and shouldn't have any energy stones. Ahhh, I regret it so much!"

Regret, Wu Jian regrets it very much now.

He Nuo rubbed the cub's dragon horn, stared at the pearl in his hand, and asked calmly: "Who gave you this pearl?"

Wu Jian asked, "Sister Lina, what's wrong?"

He Nuo smiled and asked, "Which is better, the energy stone I gave you or the pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jian looked at the pearl and then at the energy stone, struggling internally.

He Nuo said: "Is it difficult to choose?"

Wu Jian looked up at He Nuo's golden eyes. He always felt that he would be beaten if he chose Pearl, so he immediately took the energy stone in his hand.

He Nuo smiled, sat on the bed and rubbed Wu Jian's dragon horn as usual, "You are so good."

He looked towards the cabin door and met the azure eyes.

Wu Jian dared to breathe a sigh of relief the moment he heard a sound coming from the cabin door and saw Lina.

Oh no, the car flipped over.

How does it feel to be personally caught by the person who gave you the big pearl?

Wu Jian didn’t know how others felt, but he felt quite embarrassed.

Lina walked in, found a large net in the cabin, and walked out of the cabin.

Wu Jian didn't know how to start. Seeing her holding the fishing net, he quickly asked, "Sister Lina, where are you going?"

Lina paused and said, "Catch fish."

When Wu Jian heard this, he immediately said, "Sister Lina, I'll go with you. Brother He, you're holding me too tightly, I can't get out."

He struggled in He Nuo's arms.

He Nuo said, "Little dragon cub, what kind of fish do you want to eat? I'll take you to catch it. It's a pity to disturb others from doing their work."

After hearing this, Lina said, "I didn't disturb you."

Wu Jian winked at He Nuo proudly.

He Nuoshun pinched Wu Jian's dragon tail and said, "I'd better not disturb you from doing your work. I'll take the little cub out to play in the water."

He held the little dragon cub in his arms and jumped out of the window into the sea.

Wu Jian: ...

Lina lowered her eyes.

The bird with patterned wings was swimming happily, but the owner of the wings was not happy at all.

"Brother He, why are you talking to Sister Lina in that tone?"

He Nuo took him to the bottom of the sea, easily caught a few fish and threw them into the space.

"Sister?" He Nuo chuckled and said, "Little cub, don't call someone wearing a skirt sister."

Wu Jian: “Ah?”

"Mermaids are born with two genders. When they reach adulthood, they have the right to choose whether to be male or female. You call her sister now, but maybe she will become your brother in the future."

Wu Jian:!

Are the mermaids so creative?

There are actually two sets of genders, which seems quite impressive. What's going on?

Wu Jian said, "But what does this have to do with me calling Lina Sister? Anyway, she is a girl now, isn't she?"

He Nuo stopped catching fish, reached out and pinched Wu Jian's cheek, and said, "When did you have so many questions? Come on, I'll take you to catch the most delicious fish on the seabed."

Wu Jian was forcibly taken away by He Nuo, and doubts flashed through his mind.

"Brother He, how do you manage to breathe underwater?"

He Nuo smiled and said, "It's a secret."

Wu Jian pouted and muttered softly, "Forget it if you don't want to talk about it."

He Nuo said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. The truth is, my mother is mixed-race and has several talents, which I just happened to inherit."

Wu Jian showed an amazed look: "Is Sirius's bloodline so strong?"

"No, on the contrary, mixed blood is very dangerous. I'll explain it to you later. Here comes the fish!"

He Nuo and his little cub spent the whole morning catching fish on the seabed.

Bad news, the fish are being caught a bit too much.

Good news, it’s enough for the mermaids in the cave to eat for three days.

Most of the rescued mermaids had serious sequelae and were very wary of strangers.

For example, Wu Jian. As soon as he approached, the mermaids' sharp claws were exposed and the fins behind their ears spread out, which was a signal of attack.

However, mermaids are also very hypocritical.

For example, when Tang Keke appeared, they simply glanced at her briefly before ignoring her. They were more friendly towards Zhao Qing, after all, Zhao Qing had helped them. Aisha and Lina were treated as fellow mermaids, occasionally communicating with them through mermaid calls. They were particularly friendly towards Lina. Besides showing affection towards Lina, they also smiled at He Nuo when they saw him.

Wu Jian's nostrils were spitting fire and he felt extremely depressed.

It's really too much to treat him so obviously.

Of course, Wu Jian only muttered in his heart and did not show it on his face.

The mermaids have suffered enough, so it’s a good thing for them to be more vigilant.

Fortunately, my mood improved in the second half of the day.

He Nuo specially made Blue Star food for Wu Jian to comfort him.

When Wu Jian saw the seafood feast on the folding table, his saliva quickly secreted. He swallowed his saliva and tilted his head and said, "Brother He, how do you cook Blue Star food?"

He Nuo tilted his head like Wu Jian and said, "Why can't I do this?"

Wu Jian chuckled and said, "It's a piece of cake for Brother He. Can I eat it?"

Brother He pinched the little dragon's horn and said, "Praise him again."

"Brother He, you are simply the most powerful person in the universe. How can you be so amazing and cook all my favorite foods?"

Tang Keke beside her said softly, "Oh, oh, oh, I want it too."

Wu Jian tilted Tang Keke's head to the side and said, "You are a mermaid now, you can't eat cooked food."

Tang Keke argued, "I can do it. I had grilled fish in the morning and it was fine. Good boy, give me some and I'll help you taste it."

Wu Jian said, "Keke, you're drooling, I don't believe you're just trying it."

"Hey, we're friends, right? What's wrong with good friends sharing together?"

"No."

Zhao Qing looked at He Nuo awkwardly and apologized.

He Nuo leaned against the cabin, smiling as he watched the little cubs guarding their food, feeling satisfied and happy.

This was the most satisfying meal Wu Jian had had since coming here.

He Nuo, who was sitting next to him, was helping him to remove the fresh meat from the crab legs and put it on a plate in front of him.

Wu Jian accepted all the food and ate it all in one bite.

Even until Tang Keke couldn't hold on any longer and left, Wu Jian continued to eat. He finished the whole table and was still only half full. In the end, He Nuo cooked nearly twenty pounds of fish and shrimp to feed him.

Tang Keke couldn't help but smack her lips, "Little dragon, your appetite seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Now one meal can last me three days."

She was a powerful force, very energy-intensive, and her appetite was several times that of others. She could be said to be a voracious eater. Nowadays, there are always people who can eat more than her, but the key point was that this cub only needed a little bit of food to be full in the early days.

How come in the blink of an eye, the dragon cub can eat more than me?

Zhao Qing said from the side, "What's so surprising about this? Have you forgotten that Wu Jian is a dragon? Sooner or later, he will grow into the legendary dragon. By then, his appetite may be equivalent to what you eat in a year."

Tang Keke suddenly realized, "Oh, that's right. I actually forgot that the dragon cub will grow up to be very big in the future."

Wu Jian burped and chuckled, "I'll take you flying when the time comes."

Tang Keke also laughed and said, "Great, great."

"Cough!" He Nuo coughed, trying to attract Wu Jian's attention.

Wu Jian acted as if he couldn't hear anything and just laughed along with Tang Keke. It was not until He Nuo coughed several times in succession that Wu Jian turned around.

"Brother He, do you have a cold?"

He Nuo asked, "Are you full?"

Wu Jian nodded, not understanding why.

He Nuo pinched the cub's round belly and said, "Look at all this flesh, half of it is from me, right?"

Wu Jian blinked, "Huh?"

He Nuo whispered, "Since I raised half of him, when he grows up, he must be the first to take me flying."

Wu Jian:?

Tang Keke:?

What kind of strange desire to win is this man?

Wu Jian looked up and met He Nuo's golden eyes. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a prank or the truth.

Wu Jian said in a very relaxed tone: "Of course, when I grow up, I will definitely take care of you in your old age. Uncle He, please rest assured!"

"Hahaha!"

A burst of laughter came from the cabin.

The one who laughed the loudest was Aisha, who had just arrived. "Hahaha, judging by the little dragon cub's age, He Nuo could indeed be his uncle. How about letting the cub you've raised take care of you in your old age? Uncle He!"

Wu Jian listened to the laughter of the crowd and saw the smile on He Nuo's face getting wider and wider. He shrank his neck guiltily. The next moment, He Nuo pinched his neck and he immediately gave He Nuo a flattering smile.

Wu Jian’s live broadcast room was almost filled with laughter.

[Hahaha, is this what they call raising children to provide for your old age? This is so vivid!]

Lifespans are generally long across interstellar civilizations, so there's nothing wrong with a dragon cub calling He Nuo "Uncle." But why am I so indebted to him? Who in my family understands? I came here to watch the exciting action livestream, but I was nearly dying of laughter at the dragon cub.

[How should I put it? I always feel that He Nuo has an inexplicable possessiveness towards the dragon cub. Am I seeing things?]

[What possessiveness? It's clearly the older guy who's not getting enough attention, trying to get it from the dragon cub. You know what? They look like a pretty silly father and son. This is a StarCraft game, but I feel like I'm watching a parent-child variety show.]

[Hahaha, what the first floor boss said is simply classic. ]

[By the way, aren't you all focusing on the seafood feast that He Nuo made? I wonder if I could try it. Is all Blue Star food this delicious? I really want to have a bite!]

[Forget about the above, the food itself has to be delicious. I only saw a Blue Star player eating a can of stinky stuff, and it made the monster faint. I was right downwind of him, so who would understand? I wanted to die right there!]

[Hehe, I don't believe it. I want to try it myself and see if it's as scary as you say.]

[Hehe, I believe it too. The main theme is rebellion! ]

That day, a group of anonymous people suddenly appeared on Huaxia's official website, looking to buy food, and paying with Star Coins. The official in charge of the website checked the accounts and discovered they were from various civilizations. Realizing something was amiss, the official immediately reported the incident to his superiors.

"Huh? What did you say they bought?" Assistant Wang, who thought it was some psychic who had provoked players from other civilizations, was so scared that he didn't even finish his meal. He hurried to see the person in charge. After hearing what the person in charge said, he couldn't help but ask again.

The person in charge said with an indescribable expression, "They bought a lot of stinky tofu."

Assistant Wang: ...

I don't understand what other civilizations want to do.

Wu Jian was unaware that he had caused a wave of panic buying the products, forcing the person in charge to report it to their superiors. He was currently following Zhao Qing to help the mermaids change their bandages.

Because there were too many mermaids with bombs stuffed in their stomachs, Zhao Qing had been cutting open the mermaids' stomachs to take out the bombs for several days in a row.

There is another problem, that is, the cure is not.

After hearing about it, Aisha went to the deep sea trench the next day and found a kind of blue seaweed, which is said to be very effective in healing wounds.

The next day, the wounds on the mermaids' stomachs had scabbed over, and the efficacy of the medicine was visibly strong.

When Wu Jian saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked Aisha if there was any more seaweed that she had found.

Aisha said, "This kind of seaweed is plentiful in our mermaid waters, and it's worthless. Why are you asking?"

Wu Jian rubbed his hands and said, "Can I pack a little and take it away?"

Aisha said, "Of course you can. Take as much as you want. This kind of seaweed only crops once a month, so you can never use it all up."

Under Aisha's guidance, Wu Jian came to the sea.

Besides He Nuo, the others who came with him included Tang Keke and Lina. They were all pulled away by Wu Jian to cut the grass.

He Nuo easily harvested a piece of seaweed and it was put into the space by Wu Jia.

"Why are you thinking about mowing the lawn? Changing to a vegetarian diet?"

"No!" Wu Jian retorted, then explained, "You know we're short of everything on Blue Star. Those old men would spend ages researching just to find some dirt on the field. They say every planet has different potential energy sources, and if they can be useful to Blue Star, we have to take it. I think this is a good thing, so it's a good idea to take it with us."

He Nuo smiled and did not refute.

Tang Keke and Lina worked hard to help, and they had almost completely plundered this area of ​​sea.

This seaweed spreads very quickly. If we remove it now, it will grow back next month, so there is no need to worry about it being completely cut down.

Another wave returns with a full load.

Wu Jian returned to the cave very happily. As soon as he entered the cave, he heard the sound of tinkling.

I saw the mermaids gathered together, as if they were building a fence.

"There's some iron sheet here to weld it on!"

Wu Jian saw Aisha directing the mobilization, scratched his head, and walked over to ask, "Aisha, what are you doing?"

Aisha explained, "Building a house."

“What’s the point of building a house?”

"The former Siren King City has disappeared. If I build it now, when we return, wouldn't that indirectly complete the mission?"

"How could you think of such a..."

“Isn’t it wonderful!”

"Forehead."

Aisha smiled and said, "I'm kidding. Lina suggested that we build an outpost first to prevent the priests from launching a surprise attack. Then we can slowly hollow out the base of the mountain and build a place for the mermaids to live."

Wu Jian looked at Lina.

Lina nodded: "Well, setting up an outpost is just one step. It won't be long before we fight back again."

At this moment, Wu Jian seemed to see Lina glowing.

It was the first time that Wu Jian saw a mermaid build a house so quickly. In just one night, huge changes occurred in the cave.

The high-rise outpost penetrates the mountain, revealing a large circular hole in the middle, through which the ocean can be seen in the distance. Inside the cave, stone houses of varying sizes have also been carved out. However, compared to the primitive houses, the ones here are interspersed with metal sheets, which are both high-end and beautiful, and very much in line with the aesthetic taste of the mermaids.

Wu Jian stood there in shock.

Aisha pinched the tip of the little cub's wings, and she chuckled twice at the successful sneak attack.

"Little dragon cub, what's wrong? Are you all stupid?"

Wu Jian turned his gaze towards Aisha and asked, "Sister Aisha, are you mermaids so good at building houses? Is this still the cave I lived in before?"

"Of course, mermaids are very skilled in construction, especially when it comes to building houses. We personally renovated the palace of our mermaid civilization. I'll take you to visit it someday."

Wu Jian still found it incredible and followed Aisha in to take a look.

Being able to build a cave into such exquisite beauty overnight, Wu Jian believed that the city of the mermaid civilization must be very beautiful as well.

The mermaid has a characteristic that is very similar to her and him, which is that they can dodge and build.

Wu Jian touched his chin, wondering if he could ask the mermaid to help him build a house of his own. Wouldn't it be more beautiful if the room was inlaid with sparkling gems?

Of course, one could think of hiring a mermaid to build a house. Firstly, one had to be able to afford the high cost, and secondly, they had to be willing to come to the Blue Star civilization.

Well, now is not the time to think about these things. Let’s help Blue Star obtain energy first.

Wu Jian looked around the magnificent building again and again with admiration.

At this time, Lina stepped forward and said, "Do you like it?"

Wu Jian nodded.

“You guys are amazing.”

Aisha laughed beside him and said, "If you like, come to our mermaid civilization in the future, and I will build you a house you like with my own hands."

Wu Jian's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"

"Of course, when has Aisha ever lied to anyone?"

Wu Jian said, "I want a sparkling room, preferably one inlaid entirely with gems."

Aisha was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and said, "You really are a big fan of glitter. Do you like shiny things so much?"

"Isn't it pretty?"

"Who doesn't like shiny things? Even the beds that I asked the mermaids to sleep in are inlaid with energy stones."

"Hehe, I prefer to sleep inside a mountain of gems. It makes me feel very safe."

Looking at the little dragon cub who was chatting with Aisha all the time, Lina was about to speak when a pair of slender hands passed through the little cub's armpits, lifted him up high, and held him in her arms.

"I haven't seen you since early this morning. So you came here?"

Wu Jian blinked her scarlet eyes and tilted her head, looking very innocent.

He Nuo said: "Let's go, let's go have breakfast."

"oh."
