The sky darkened in the afternoon, and azure stars began to appear on the horizon. The sea in the distance began to surge, a change from the calm and gentle appearance of the morning.
The wind blowing from the sea turned from warm to cold, but it was still bearable. After eating, the little lion walked on the beach with his short legs, stepping on the crab shells that were washed up, having a lot of fun, running around on the beach, and looking very happy.
In just a few days, the little guy has grown a lot bigger. He is lightly covered with a layer of fine golden fur, and his two big ears are fluttering. As long as you call him, his ears will move quickly, and then he will run towards you with his innocent big eyes wide open.
The little guy played for a while, and for some reason, he ran towards He Mo listlessly, threw himself into his arms, and whimpered softly.
He Mo, who had a telepathic connection with the little golden lion, felt a pang in his heart. Oh no, he forgot that there was no fresh water here. The little guy was thirsty and needed to drink water.
At present, he has no materials and cannot use seawater to extract fresh water resources. He Mo looked at the little guy in his arms with some worry. It seems that he can only leave here to find fresh water on this planet. He Mo held the little guy and fed it the fish he caught at noon. He also ate a lot himself before leaving the beach.
There was no river nearby, so it would probably take a long time to find one. He Mo looked at the sky worriedly, as it would soon be evening, and he wondered if he could find a place to shelter from the cold wind on the road.
Seeing the man and the beast about to leave, the creature hiding behind the rock and peeking could no longer sit still and let out a shrill cry, "Aiya~"
It swam madly from the sea and did not stop when it reached the beach. The creature on the beach climbed step by step with its arms, crawling towards He Mo and the little golden lion, its eyes full of hope and pleading.
Under the bright sunshine, He Mo saw a black mermaid crawling towards him step by step on the beach. He had long blue hair like a waterfall, reaching down to his hips. His beautiful face seemed to be filled with tears, and his misty eyes were full of sadness. The sunlight evaporated the moisture from his body, and the scorching beach made him uncomfortable, but he still tried hard and tenaciously to crawl forward. He Mo was surprised to find that the tail of this mermaid was completely bald without a single scale, which looked quite abrupt.
The little golden lion tilted its head curiously and looked at the creature that suddenly appeared, sniffing it delicately with its delicate little nose, as if confirming something.
“@#%…” The mermaid finally crawled in front of He Mo. He raised his upper body and said something excitedly, but unfortunately He Mo didn’t understand a word he said.
After talking for a while, seeing that He Mo had no reaction, the mermaid drooped her eyelids dejectedly, and tears slid down her fair skin, forming gray-blue pearls in the desert.
Seeing the appearance of this mermaid, He Mo had a guess in his mind.
There is currently only one planet in the entire interstellar space that has mermaids, and that is the AD planet in the Sagittarius galaxy. Could it be that he has come to Captain You’s hometown? He Mo looked around and finally understood why it looked so desolate. The AD planet was once invaded by the Zerg, and they almost destroyed the entire AD planet. The sea on which the mermaids depended for survival was completely polluted and no longer suitable for the mermaids’ survival, so all the mermaids came to the Central Planet under the arrangement of the Federation.
But how could this mermaid in front of him live alone in this ocean and survive in the polluted sea for so many years? He Mo was a little confused. He didn't know much about mermaids. The only mermaid he had seen was Captain You of the Fifth Legion.
The mermaids have lived on the Central Star for a long time and have learned the human language. The mermaid in front of them obviously cannot use the human language. It is obvious that she is a lone mermaid who was left on the AD Star during the great migration.
The mermaid crawled into the sea somewhat dejectedly, but her eyes were still fixed on He Mo without blinking. The little golden lion in her arms suddenly jumped down and ran towards the mermaid. Her four short legs were submerged by the sea water as soon as they reached the sea. Her golden fur floated on the sea surface. The little guy was very interested in the mermaid, whimpering around him and rubbing his head against the mermaid's cheek from time to time.
The mermaid hadn't been so close to a living creature for a long time. His hands and feet were a little stiff, and the furry touch on his face felt so real, soft and warm. He tentatively raised one hand and touched the little golden lion's head.
The little golden lion seemed to be encouraged by something. It rubbed its little head against the mermaid's slender fingers, squinting its eyes and looking inexplicably stupid. In a short period of time, the fish and the lion established a strange friendship that He Mo could not understand.
He Mo's mind moved. He didn't understand the situation here, but this mermaid must know. Maybe he would know where there were fresh water resources here.
He Mo walked over to the mermaid, meeting her gaze and pretending to drink water. He wondered if the mermaid could understand him. The mermaid stared blankly at He Mo's actions, and it took her a while to react.
The mermaid started to mumble a lot, and then realized that the person in front of him couldn't understand him. He used gestures to express his meaning, then slid into the sea and disappeared.
The little golden lion whimpered as it chased after the mermaid, only to be picked up by He Mo. He Mo then gave it a mid-air doggy paddle, a testament to his emotions. What was wrong with this little guy? Was he being disliked because the mermaid was so beautiful?!
He Mo didn't know whether the mermaid understood what he meant, but he understood that the mermaid wanted him to wait here for a while. He Mo carried the little golden lion back to the aircraft, waiting for the mermaid to come back.
The mermaid was away for a long time, and only emerged from the sea when it was almost dark. He was holding something in his hand, which seemed to be a transparent and slightly gray bead.
On the surface of the sea, the mermaid's beautiful face stretched out from the water. He picked up a large conch from the sea, pulled out the conch meat inside, filled it with sea water, and then put the transparent dark bead into the conch.
After putting it away, the mermaid handed the conch to He Mo as if to ask for credit, and made a gesture of raising her head to drink water. Her long seaweed-like hair floated softly on the sea surface, and there was urging and smiling in the mermaid's pure eyes.
He Mo took the conch, lowered his head and took a sip. He unexpectedly found that the seawater in the conch had turned into edible fresh water, which tasted sweet and delicious. It seemed that the transparent bead thrown in by the mermaid could turn seawater into fresh water, and the fishy smell in the seawater was gone. The bead should also have a purifying effect.
After trying and confirming that the water in the conch was drinkable, He Mo fed the water to the little golden lion. The little golden lion had been thirsty for a long time, so he lowered his head and licked He Mo's palm. He did not stop until he had drunk half of the water in the conch. His little belly was already bulging.
"Thank you." He Mo returned the conch to the mermaid, but the mermaid waved her hands to refuse it. She pointed to the sky and then to her own fish tail which had no scales on it, with a strong pleading look in her eyes.
What did it mean? He Mo didn't understand what the mermaid wanted to express for a moment, but he could see that the mermaid cared about her tail very much. He Mo recalled the scene when Captain You first encountered star energy, and wondered in his mind, could this mermaid want star energy?!
He Mo tentatively gathered a bit of star power at his fingertips. Gratitude appeared on the mermaid's beautiful face, and the tail tentatively moved a little towards He Mo's fingertips.
It seems that the power of the stars is really needed. He Mo understood. Maybe this mermaid was attracted by the energy he generated during his cultivation. However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The beads brought by the mermaid solved the problem of fresh water, and he could also provide what the mermaid needed. Everyone was happy.
Stellar energy was attracted from the interstellar space, forming an invisible light in the night, nourishing the man, fish and beast enveloped in it. In the darkness, scales began to grow on the tail of the mermaid.
Days passed, and two weeks had passed since He Mo came to this planet. The man, the beast and the mermaid became more and more familiar with each other. They could basically communicate with simple gestures, and He Mo and the mermaid could occasionally speak a few words of each other's language.
He Mo used a sharp little stone to carve every day he spent on this planet on the rock. It has been a full fifteen days. Planet AD is a planet that has been invaded by the Zerg. Even if a spaceship passes by here, it will not land on this polluted planet. He needs to think of a way to contact the outside world, otherwise he will really be trapped here forever.
The little golden lion is getting bigger and bigger, and his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. His little body has grown from the size of a tiny body when he was just born to the size of two palms now. He can eat a whole fish as long as his arm every time he eats. Since he met the mermaid, He Mo and the little golden lion's eating level has improved sharply. They can eat different deep-sea creatures every time. When he encounters something he likes, the little golden lion will emphasize it twice to show that it is delicious, and the mermaid will catch this creature a few more times.
In addition, the little golden lion’s favorite pastime is to be carried by a mermaid and swim on the sea. The mermaid is very fast, and the little guy shouts excitedly every time. Coming to such a desolate planet, the only carefree one is the ignorant little golden lion.
That afternoon, He Mo climbed to a high place as usual and carved the mark of a new day on the rocks. As if he felt something, He Mo raised his head slightly and saw a streak of light passing by in the west of him.
The figure in the stream of light spotted He Mo at the highest point and flew towards him, stopping right in front of him. The door of the spaceship opened randomly, revealing a handsome face that He Mo was familiar with. It was Zhong Qing...
