Chapter 49 Chapter 49

A spectacular sight appeared among the mermaids—

all of them took the initiative to chase their own tails and circle around to show their respect to a mermaid.

The chief also expressed his most friendly attitude to Mu Mu: "I never thought that the mermaids would have such a master!"

"Ah?" Mu Mu pointed at his nose, "Me?"

The chief asked hopefully: "Can you help the mermaids get rid of the covetousness of humans?"

"I know who the bad guy is."

Mu Mu recalled his experience in the laboratory: "He collected a lot of mermaids who were suspected to be mermaids, taught them human language, and wanted the mermaids to listen to his orders and fight for him."

The mermaids became more and more angry as they listened, and their claws as sharp as swords grabbed the surrounding sea water randomly, as if they wanted to tear apart the bad guy that Mu Mu mentioned.

The chief sighed: "The mermaids have the fighting power, but they are not strong enough..."

In terms of physical combat, humans are no match for mermaids, but when humans release their spiritual sea, mermaids will be suppressed and unable to fight back.

So they can only stay away.

Mu Mu said seriously: "Let me think of a way. Some humans said they would protect me. Maybe they can help me."

The chief pursed his lips: "Humans are too greedy. You must not trust them easily."

"Okay, I currently have only one human who I completely trust."

The chief asked: "Are you sure that human won't be greedy for the mermaids?"

"His family is not very rich. He should be more greedy for star coins than for mermaids."

Mu Mu pondered in confusion: "Are you referring to this kind of 'greed'? If it is that kind of 'greed', he has not gone beyond the scope of a goodnight kiss."

Chief: "......?"

Mermaids: "What do you mean by a goodnight kiss?"

Mu Mu spit out bubbles awkwardly for a while: "Nothing, I mean he can be trusted."

Seeing the chief's meaningful look, Mu Mu quickly changed the subject:

"Chief, has my mother gone out hunting? Why can't I see it?"

The mermaids around suddenly became silent, shaking their tails to sweep the mud and sand on the seabed, as if they had something to hide.

Mu Mu was startled: "What's wrong with it?"

"Since you were captured, every time it senses a human ship, it chases and follows it for a long distance, trying to find you and bring you back."

The tribe leader looked into the distance worriedly: "It hasn't returned to the tribe for several days this time."

Mu Mu hurriedly turned in the direction it was looking at: "What if it is captured, I'll go find it..."

"Don't be impulsive!" The tribe leader grabbed Mu Mu, "If it is captured, how can you save it?"

The mermaids echoed: "Humans are insidious and cunning. There is electricity on the bottom of the ship. If your claws touch it, you will be electrocuted. It's more terrible than electric eels!"

"And we can't catch humans with our special fishing nets. If we are suppressed by their mental sea pressure, you will be caught too!"

The chief said solemnly: "Mermaids can't rescue captured mermaids. We can only pray that your mother can come back safely." Mermaids

can't rescue...

what about humans?

"Are there any clothes for humans here?"

Mu Mu followed the chief and came to the "junk" area of ​​the tribe. The useless things collected by the mermaids were scattered here.

The chief rummaged through the boxes and found a bag of clothes: "This fell from a human ship. What do you want human cloth for?"

Mu Mu gestured on himself: "To wear it."

"Oh..." The chief was at a loss, "Who will wear it?"

"Me." Mu Mu was a little surprised that the chief would ask such a simple question, "Does the tribe still need to keep it to wear it?"

"...No, it's useless in the tribe."

The chief held his forehead, as if his thoughts had been overturned.

It grabbed the two legs of the pants: "How can you wear them? Your tail can't get in at all."

"Change to human form before wearing them." Mu Mu rolled up the clothes and stuffed them into his messenger bag, "I feel like the size is about the same, great!"

"What form are you talking about?"

From the expression of the patriarch, Mu Mu saw the clue: "Could it be... that mermaids can't transform into humans?"

"I've never heard of mermaids turning into humans."

The "switch" for mermaids to change their forms is consciousness.

If they want to catch fish, they change into hunting form. If they want to disguise themselves, they become ordinary mermaids, but no mermaid wants to become a human who can't breathe underwater.

"If you have successfully transformed into a human, it may be an ability that mermaids have not developed."

The patriarch was curious: "What opportunity prompted you to want to be a human?"

"I..." When I wanted to say goodnight to someone.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth circled around again: "I have to be a cook."

"I'm sorry, little mermaid, the tribe failed to protect you, but you have to go to a place unknown to everyone to protect us..."

The tribe leader said worriedly: "Don't go to the human society to take risks, you can stay in the tribe in the future!"

Mu Mu shook his head: "My family will come to take me home soon."

The tribe leader sighed and said kindly: "I understand."

It raised its wrinkled hand and pointed in the direction where Mu Mu's mother disappeared: "You must protect yourself."

"Goodbye, tribe leader, take care of yourself!"

Mu Mu waved his claws at it and turned to swim away.

Mu Mu didn't dare to delay for a second, and swam at the fastest speed, almost breaking the sea water.

When Mu Mu was captured, he was still a little mermaid, able to adapt to the changing environment.

But if Mu Mu's mother leaves the sea, she will lose her freedom and die in captivity like the mermaids who were once captured.

Faster! Faster!

Mu Mu swam along the direction of the tribe leader and smelled the scent of humans and mermaids near an island.

Here!

Mu Mu changed direction sharply and did not notice a reef next to him.

"Bla--"

Mu Mu rolled sideways to avoid it, his forearm brushed against the reef, and the seeping blood merged into the sea water.

The housekeeper near the island connected to the weak signal.

The earrings flashed a few times, and automatically sent a notification and positioning to Wen Ming:

"Alert! The mermaid Mu Mu is injured and bleeding, and needs to be treated as soon as possible. In case of infection, she will be in an extremely dangerous state!

" "Huh?" "Little housekeeper, what are you talking about!

The wound is very shallow, and Mu Mu tore off a piece of water grass to wrap it.

It hasn't been hurt by the crab yet!

"Oh my god, why is this mermaid struggling all of a sudden!"

There was a human voice on the shore, Mu Mu swam over quietly to observe the situation there——

"It finally got quiet for a while, why is it screaming again, is it still energetic?"

There was a mermaid in the fiber optic fishing net, its tail was gradually turning blue, and it seemed to have noticed something at this moment, scratching and howling anxiously.

Mu Mu's eyes widened: It was the mother in normal form!

It must have smelled Mu Mu's blood.

"It won't eat even if you give it food, it just keeps going wild, it's so annoying!"

"Be patient, we have to sell it intact to the Mermaid Center, that place specializes in collecting mermaids related to the ocean, and the price is very high!"

"I remember that we caught a very small mermaid on the Ocean Star more than ten years ago, and we haven't caught a creature more valuable than it since then."

"That's how the business on the pirate ship is, it's closed for half a year, and it's open for half a year..."

Mu Mu climbed ashore, changed into human form, and put on his clothes quietly without disturbing them.

From the conversation of those people, it learned that the people on the pirate ship made profits by illegally buying and selling creatures, and none of them had legal human identities.

"Hunters" wandering in the dark zone.

Mu Mu's teeth itched with anger, and the wet clothes stuck to his body, making him feel even worse.

"Woo——" The mermaid mother was still making a miserable cry.

"Shut up! I really want to ask the microphone mask anchor, why is it like this when I gave it food."

"Don't be silly, there is no signal on this planet, you have to wait until you migrate out to watch the live broadcast."

"My ears can't stand it, just suppress it!"

The mermaid in the fiber optic net was targeted by several spiritual seas, and her body felt as heavy as a ton, falling to the ground, unable to move.

The pirates carried it onto the boat and put the mermaid and the net into the water tank.

"Ting, ting..."

When the pirate ship was about to set off, there were footsteps coming from far away.

"Who?"

A man with a scar on his face was the first to notice it, took out a dagger, and was on guard against the footsteps.

"You called me?"

Mu Mu was dripping wet, with water dripping down everywhere. There were several circles of seaweed on his face, with only his eyes, nostrils and mouth exposed:

"I heard someone called 'Masked Anchor'. I didn't expect to meet netizens on Ocean Star. It's fate."

"...What?" All the thieves were stunned.

For a moment, nothing could be heard except the waves hitting the shore.

"Pfft!" The pirate with a scar on his face burst into laughter, pointing at Mu Mu, "What kind of psychopath is this? If you cover your face, you're the mask anchor?"

The other pirates followed him, laughing one by one:

"If you want to pretend, at least wear the same mask, haha!"

"The double blue moon mask has long been a hot item, and it's all over the screen when you search. I'll give you one with star coins, seaweed is too shabby!"

Mu Mu's eyes fell on Scar:

It seems that he is the one with the most say in the pirate ship.

"But wearing a mask will get wet by the sea water." Mu Mu pretended to be distressed, "Since you have nothing to do with me, then I'm leaving!"

He ignored the laughter and turned away.

Scar suddenly stopped laughing and took a step forward subconsciously: "Wait a minute!"

Mu Mu turned around, his tone full of impatience: "Are you guys busy? I'm very busy. Netizens are urging me to start the live broadcast, and I have to go back to prepare."

The island became silent again.

Scar's brain turned with difficulty, still with a seven-point disbelief: "What are you doing here? Why are your clothes wet?"

Mu Mu pinched the corner of his clothes: "Swimming."

"Swimming with clothes on?"

Mu Mu glanced at him lightly: "What do you care about me?"

Scar's facial muscles twitched: "You kid is so arrogant..."

"Brother Scar!"

A thief grabbed Scar who wanted to quarrel: "Something's wrong, the masked anchor has this kind of personality. The bullet screen in the live broadcast room is often messy, but he never pays attention to bad comments!" "

?" Mu Mu touched his earrings in confusion.

Is the live broadcast room full of comments? There are even some malicious comments!

Scar rolled his eyes, his attitude became subtle, and he forced a stiff smile at Mu Mu:

"Wait a moment, let's discuss it together."

The thieves gathered together and discussed in a low voice:

"His voice is no different from the masked anchor. We won't meet the real one, right?"

"How is that possible? There is no signal on Ocean Star, how can he broadcast live?"

"We can connect to the Internet on this island, but it's intermittent."

"So he is always in a hurry to get off the air, just because the signal is unstable?"

"No one has detected the IP of the masked anchor so far. He is either in a military management area, a high-end residential area, or on a planet with poor signal!"

"He doesn't even know what a love story is. He may be a 'country bumpkin' from a distant planet! Ocean Star is just convenient for him to deal with underwater creatures..."

The more they analyzed, the more reasonable it became. They looked at each other and sighed in unison:

"Fuck!"
