Chapter 33 The Dark Glacier Moves Away
"Are you coming again?"
The three spinning tops that finally stopped shook their heads and moved their butts back: "No, no, no, no."
The Lego-faced mermaid covered her face and carefully looked at the blue mermaid in front of her from top to bottom and from left to right. Her eyebrows were drawn in a frown, and she seemed to be caught in a vortex of some thought.
Could it be that the true meaning of strength lies not in a strong body, but in a fair and slender appearance and a shiny fish tail?
The Lego guard had a flash of inspiration: I get it!
"I'm sorry," Jia Lan apologized, bowing to the guards in front of him. "I didn't control my strength well and hurt you during the sparring match."
The three mermaids bowed back quickly: "No, no, no."
Jia Lan: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can speak up."
Three mermaids: "No, no, no."
Jia Lan: "I'm so sorry."
The three mermaids: "No, no, no."
Both sides are polite to each other, and this trend seems to be continuing.
Chen Shuang: “…”
What kind of alien version of social culture.
When the Lego guard bent down again, he suddenly felt an upward force on his shoulder and a clear, sharp sound rang above his head, making Yu unconsciously wonder what kind of creature came from this sound.
The guard mermaid looked up as if by magic and saw the human whose presence had been very low since the beginning.
A pair of black eyes that seemed to be able to see through fate looked straight at the fish and she asked, "Can you take us to find the tribe leader now?"
That black.
The mermaid guard looked at the human in front of him, awe and fear surging in his blood filled his whole body, making him tremble unconsciously.
That prophetic black.
"The caged fish is released into the pure black sky"
This was a long-held prophecy conveyed by the clan leader after he became a guard.
“Okay…Okay.”
He heard himself say, "Please follow me."
"Thanks."
The guard fish in front of him suddenly lost its initial carefree and generous attitude, and instead led the way in front like a young wife, and from time to time the fierce fish turned back to secretly glance at Chen Shuang.
When Shen Shuang looked at him, he immediately looked away, and his swimming tail fin stiffened instantly.
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know," Jia Lan shook his head, then a hint of worry rose in his mind: "Maybe the force was too strong just now, and he got hurt in the head."
Chen Shuang: It’s a bit dirty to scold the fish.
Although the black-skinned fierce fish looked a little embarrassed, he still responsibly brought them to the residence of the mermaid leader.
"that……"
The guard pursed his lips, hesitant to speak.
Under Shen Shuang's encouraging gaze, he mustered up the courage: "Can you do me a favor?"
The muscular fish turned his back, revealing his smooth and tight back muscles, and said with some anticipation: "Please write me a very handsome one."
Shen Shuang took a deep breath and smiled: "...Okay."
After writing these words with special underwater ink unscrupulously, Chen Shuang watched the Lego Guard swim away at lightning speed. During the swim, he also caught a few colleagues and forced them to look at his tattoos, and successfully gained the envious gazes of his colleagues.
Chen Shuang: Phew, just be happy.
What is there to envy about this non-mainstream type of thing?
Finally freeing her attention from the mermaid's desperate aesthetic, Chen Shuang looked at the fair and beautiful fish beside her a few more times, and felt that the world suddenly became bright.
Jia Lan felt her gaze: "What's wrong?"
Chen Shuang: "Nothing, you are so beautiful."
The mermaid lowered her head and her face turned red.
He tried to look serious and said, "I remember when I was a kid, I bumped into a piece of black ice and was frozen unconscious. It was the clan leader who rescued me."
"I was too young at that time and don't remember the exact location, but the clan leader definitely knows."
The huge brown shell in front of me is deeply embedded in the seabed, and is connected to a stone wall at the back. This is the residence of the patriarch.
He knocked on the door: "Grandpa, I'm back."
Suddenly there was a dull sound of falling from inside.
The mermaid quickly opened the door: "Are you okay?"
The old mermaid leader who accidentally fell down waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just this height, it's no problem."
He swam up shakily and was helped by Jia Lan to sit on the shell. The gray-haired old mermaid sighed with satisfaction and praised: "Little Seagrass is such a good boy. Grandpa likes you the most."
"Grandpa, I'm not seaweed."
"Hmm?" The old mermaid squinted his eyes and reached out to touch the face of the fish in front of him. He laughed twice and said, "Grandpa is just kidding you. How could I not recognize my most precious little conch?"
"I'm not a conch either."
The old mermaid rubbed his eyes and said, "Really? My eyes are a little blurry after waking up. My cute little seashell, please don't be angry with Grandpa."
Jia Lan: “…”
Suddenly I found that the clan leader had many more darlings.
Chen Shuang: "Ahem."
Accidentally walked into the scene of a family breakdown.
"Alright, alright, just a little joke," the old mermaid smiled and rubbed the algae-blue hair in front of her eyes, "the most beautiful little Jialan, grandpa missed you so much."
The clan leader felt the ultimate power hidden within this young body and said with emotion, "What a formidable little fish."
"You must have suffered a lot," the old mermaid said, gently opening her arms. "Come here and let grandpa hug you."
"Oh, oh, oh, slower, slower, my waist!"
Jia Lan left the steady and warm embrace, looked up, and said with red eyes: "I found clean water. We don't need to stay here anymore. Let's follow the priest, okay?"
Seeing the old patriarch turn his gaze towards her, Chen Shuang nodded: "Hello."
She introduced: "The current priestess of the Dark Temple, God's representative in the Lost Land, Chen Shuang."
"The prophecy has come true," the patriarch murmured. "The caged fish has been released into the pure black sky."
"Good boy, you did a great job," he said, looking lovingly at the young merman in front of him. "You will be engraved on the monument of history."
The old mermaid coughed a few times and looked at Chen Shuang pleadingly: "Your Majesty, the Honorable Priest, if possible, please take these young mermaids away."
"Whatever you ask them to do, as long as they can leave this area and stay alive, I will agree to any conditions you ask."
"I'm not a businessman, clan leader, and I don't need an equal exchange," Chen Shuang said, "but I do need your help with something."
"I'm looking for the coldest thing in the polar snowfield."
The old patriarch blurted out: "Pollution at the bottom."
"If you're looking for ice that can freeze your soul, this is it."
The clan leader said, "It is a piece of black, polluted ice. No living creature can escape its capture. Once it touches it, it will fall into a deep sleep."
Jia Lan: "It's the piece of ice from my childhood..."
But he survived after accidentally touching it.
"That's right," the tribe leader said, "so, child, you are the most special mermaid. You don't have to feel inferior because you are different."
He looked into the distance: "Perhaps, you are the future of mermaids."
After the patriarch pointed out the exact direction, Chen Shuang brought the mermaid to a group of black ice floes that was said to be a forbidden area for mermaids.
A huge layer of ice appeared at the bottom of the water, clearly separated from the water layer. Mixed with black ice, it exuded an extremely cold and ominous aura. Even from a long distance away, Chen Shuang began to feel the obvious coldness.
Jia Lan: "Mermaids are afraid of it, but they can't find a new home, so they have been living in the same waters with it."
Chen Shuang looked at the huge black glacier in front of her: "It doesn't matter, it will soon go to where it should go."
Fighting poison with poison is like killing two birds with one stone.
You are using Shadow Clone.
The black shadow separated from the water. Miss Shadow looked at the surrounding environment curiously and swam a few laps flexibly.
Chen Shuang took out the long table of the temple from her backpack. The black feather mark imprinted on the table emitted a faint light.
With the help of Miss Shadow, Chen Shuang successfully pressed the marked side of the long table against the ice. The cautious Miss Shadow even used seaweed to firmly fix the long table in place.
When you look horizontally, you will find that a huge glacier is "placed" on the table.
The turbulent water flow gradually surged, as if trying to push the strange long table away, but because of Seaweed and Miss Shadow, the table did not move at all.
Chen Shuang looked at the strange black glacier and said, "Wrap a few more layers."
Miss Shadow worked for a while before she stood up and clapped her hands in satisfaction. The table and the glacier were now firmly fixed together.
The angry water surged back and forth, but it could do nothing about the thing in front of it.
Long table: Yo~little trash~
It's time to leave.
The mermaid hesitated. “Can I have a few last words with Grandpa? He doesn’t look well.”
He assured: "I'll be quick and won't waste time."
Chen Shuang looked at the mermaid's eager eyes, recalled the state of the mermaid leader when she just met him, and nodded: "I'll go with you."
When I returned to the patriarch's room, I saw the old mermaid lying on the shell bed. She had lost her spirit and her body was visibly old.
He was like an old tree about to fall, swaying and crumbling.
Noticing the ripples in the water, he braced himself and said, "You're leaving now. Remember to come back and take the young people here with you."
"It's a pity that I won't be able to hold on until then," the dying old patriarch closed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Maybe when you come next time, my old bones will be gone."
Jia Lan said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa..."
The premonition just now turned out to be no illusion.
"You will hold on until then," Chen Shuang walked in, "I will move that piece of ice away soon, and no more pollution will invade your world."
"That's great, but unfortunately I..."
Jia Lan interrupted the patriarch and said with tears in her eyes, "Grandpa, you haven't tasted delicious food, nor have you swam among schools of brilliant little fish. You haven't even seen elves, angels, or dwarfs."
“And there’s this magnificent temple where you can even see sculptures of the gods.”
"What a shame, what a shame, how could a fish leave so many regrets."
The old patriarch: “…”
He gritted his teeth and stood up: "I think I can live a few more days."
