Chapter 237
When Li Sinian returned to the rooftop and turned to go downstairs with the Creeks, the mermaid boy who was hiding at the bottom of the pool swam out of the water and poked his head out of the water.
He first showed a very ferocious expression, bared his teeth and looked around, but did not find any source of danger. The expression on his face gradually became confused.
He looked at the scenery around the pool, a hint of doubt appearing in his cold blue eyes.
Interstellar travel takes several months, so in the little mermaid's memory, he has been trapped in the tank for a long, long time.
The enclosed environment made him feel irritable and uneasy. The two humans who always appeared beside him exuded a smell that he hated, and the water in the tank that was added with drugs also made him very uncomfortable.
But now, he left the water tank and came to a pool.
The water in the pool was clear and pure. Soaking in it, he felt waves of joy from the bottom of his heart, and the fresh air brought by the wind to the surface of the water also made him feel comfortable.
Most importantly, there was no one around him that he disliked.
The little mermaid tilted her head, turned over and swam in the pool. Her elegant figure gleamed with tiny lights under the refraction of the sunlight, like an elf in the water, smart and beautiful.
Even though he is covered with scars, it does not affect his beauty at all. Instead, it adds a bit of fragility and makes him look more pitiful.
He dived into the water, then quickly surfaced, quickly breaking through the surface. Amidst the splashing water, he leaped into another pool nearby with his tail, feeling the long-lost happiness and freedom.
Finally, he floated on the water in a backstroke position, basking in the sun comfortably.
"What was that sound just now?"
Suddenly, there was a voice, and alertness appeared on the boy's face. He turned over and dived into the water, hiding underwater and observing the shore. His blue eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with cold danger.
There were light and heavy footsteps, and Zhuang Shisong's figure appeared around the corner.
He looked up and didn't see any more mermaids in the pond. "Huh? Did I hear it wrong?"
"If anything really happens, the intelligent computer will sound the alarm." Wei Ming appeared behind him, "The teacher is here, don't worry."
The teacher he was referring to was naturally Su Ci.
A few months passed, and there were no more monster invasions in the nursery, let alone Base 24. They were no longer as frightened as before, and they also had blind trust in Su Ci.
Zhuang Shisong frowned, and couldn't help but look towards the pond a few times, before being pulled away by Wei Ming.
"Let's go, Mubao is still waiting for us."
Just as they had originally thought, Mu Bao possessed a very high talent in the inheritance of spiritual plant master. In just one month, his progress had caught up with their progress in several months.
Wei Ming and Zhuang Shisong were not discouraged, and it was even less likely that they would be jealous of a child. Instead, they would ask Mu Bao for help when they had questions, and Mu Bao would tell them everything he knew.
The three brothers helped and learned from each other, and their relationship grew deeper and deeper.
Hearing Wei Ming's words, Zhuang Shisong nodded, took a last look in the direction of the pond, turned around and followed him away.
Peace returned to this side of the building once again.
The little mermaid under the water emerged from the water and narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked in the direction the two humans left.
He has designated these two pools as his territory, and now no matter who comes, he will attack them indiscriminately.
The mermaid boy stared at the corner of the building for a long time, and after making sure that no human beings appeared, he dived into the water again and swam to the bottom.
The accidental glance just now made him interested in the purification formation at the bottom of the pool.
His fish tail swayed flexibly in the water. This pool, which was originally used to purify the giant spider meat, was dug large and deep, much larger than the space in the water tank, and was more than enough for him to flip and move.
The little mermaid swam to the bottom of the pool. The water was clear and the light shining through the water was sufficient to clearly illuminate the patterns carved on the bottom and walls of the pool.
Puru, who was once a water demon, suffered a lot in this pool, so he basically wouldn't come here unless necessary.
As for Ika, who had merely transformed into a beast and was not contaminated by resentment, not only was he not harmed, but he felt like he was in heaven in this pool.
On the other side of the building, Mu Bao was talking to Wei Ming and others.
With the practice of the spiritual plant master's mental method, Mu Bao has gradually been able to master some of the power of his bloodline. His hair has returned to normal and his plant-like arms have become soft.
Such obvious changes inspired him and made him practice more diligently, wanting to give his mother a surprise when she was brought home.
Although he has made a lot of progress, Mu Bao knows that he still has a long way to go.
Because he didn't dare to approach the two small pear trees in the corner of the green space, because if he did, his normal body might quickly turn into a plant.
At least you have to wait until you can get close to them without being affected, then you can be considered to have truly learned it!
"When will Brother Lielie and the others come back today?" In addition to studying hard, Mu Bao also missed his brothers and sisters.
My brothers and sisters would disappear for a while every day, sometimes all of them would disappear, and sometimes just a few of them would disappear.
He knew that they were going to fight monsters, and he had no fighting ability so he had to stay in the nursery. Mu Bao didn't want to be a drag, but every time his brothers and sisters disappeared, the nursery would become particularly deserted.
Every time this happened, he couldn't help but wonder, why couldn't he fight?
Fortunately, brother A Yan comforted him and told him that he would be able to fight after he became a powerful spiritual plant master, because spiritual plant masters can do more than just planting.
"It should be soon." Wei Ming said, "It's almost lunch time."
No matter what they do, these children will come back before mealtime and will never miss the meal time.
On the river bank.
The purification barrier still stood quietly. Due to the appearance of the purifying spiritual herbs, the difference in scenery on both sides of the barrier had narrowed a lot. With time, it was estimated that there would be no difference.
The breeze blew past, making a rustling sound in the bamboo forest. The fat fish in the river occasionally jumped out of the water to prey on small insects flying over the river.
Soon, this peaceful scene was broken.
"That snot monster today was so disgusting. Why do we always see such disgusting monsters?"
The little wolf cub's complaining voice was heard, and the figures of the cubs slowly appeared from outside the purification barrier. In addition to him, there were Lu Jiao, Rong Heng, Xue Wei, and the little black cat Zheng Xing hiding in the little wolf's pocket.
Of course, the most indispensable one is Ran Lie, who ran out alone to fight monsters at the beginning.
He walked at the end of the team with his arms folded, listening to the little wolf cub's enthusiastic complaints with a sour face.
Ran Lie always felt regretful that he had agreed to take the little wolf cub out to fight monsters.
He originally thought that at most he would bring one more star with him, but when he arrived at the river bank the next day, he saw Langze had called Rong Heng and Lu Jiao as well.
Now that we're here, I can only take them out with me.
Rong Heng's Haoran Sword has achieved some success. Although it is not as good as his Chiyan, it is still very useful against ordinary monsters.
Gradually, they split into two teams and fought on their own. Later, Xuewei learned about this and she also proposed to join in.
To be honest, Ran Lie was quite surprised. He could feel that Xue Wei didn't like fighting very much.
However, Xuewei said to him, "I want to control my power and stop letting it hurt those close to me. The more I fear it and the less I use it, the less I can control it."
"So, please let me fight with you!"
Seeing her determination, Ran Lie had no choice but to agree.
What's more, Xuewei is so strong that as long as she controls her emotions and doesn't let the red fog erode her, she will not be a burden to the team.
Moreover, after hearing about this, Susu and Brother Ayan made her a hammer...
Thinking of this, Ran Lie silently looked at the small hammer in Xuewei's hand.
The hammer was not big, and the handle was only slightly longer than his palm. It was pink in color and inlaid with many pink gems. Xuewei also tied a bow at the end of the handle with a red ribbon.
Anyone who sees a hammer like this will think it's too fancy and impractical, but...
Ran Lie remembered the effect of Xue Wei using this hammer, so he silently slowed down his pace and tried to keep some distance.
However, as if she noticed his gaze, the rabbit ears on Xuewei's head moved slightly, and the girl turned around and gave him a shy and gentle smile.
Ran Lie: “…”
He silently withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.
"Stop talking about the snot monster, otherwise I won't be able to eat lunch!" At this time, Lu Jiao finally couldn't help but interrupt the little wolf cub's complaints.
Langze thought about it and nodded. Then he ran to the river bank, pointed at the water lotus in the river and said, "Let's dig some lotus roots and take them back! I want to drink lotus root soup."
In autumn, in addition to the river fish becoming plump, it is also the season when lotus roots mature.
After saying this, Langze jumped into the water, dug up a few pieces of lotus root, and then climbed onto the shore, all wet.
Rong Heng felt that the little wolf cub did not want to drink the lotus root soup, but just wanted to play in the water. Otherwise, he could use his power of controlling objects to get the lotus root up.
But... seeing how cheerful he looked, he didn't say anything.
The group returned to the nursery and went back to their respective rooms to take a shower and change clothes, while Langze went to the kitchen with the lotus root.
Yan Ya was also happy to pamper the little wolf cub. Seeing him running in with a lotus root in his arms, she took it with a smile, touched his head and praised him.
Langze happily left the kitchen, went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes, then went straight to the restaurant. Sure enough, he smelled the fragrance of lotus root soup.
It’s great to have Yan Ya’s mother here!
The restaurant's windows were open, and the aroma of food continued to spread outside. The mermaid boy in the pool emerged from the water and looked up at the open windows of the restaurant.
“Gurgle—”
Ika is hungry.
The Creeks came over halfway, but Ika hid under the water and pretended to be unconscious. It was rare for the couple to see their son so well-behaved, so they hurried back to rest and sleep.
Seeing this, Li Sinian went to the kitchen to help, and now sat in the restaurant to eat.
Ika sniffed the fragrance in the air, and the expression on his face became colder and colder. Finally, he pursed his lips and dived into the water again to hide.
After dinner, the cubs did not go back to their room for a nap.
For children who go back to their room after dinner and go to bed around eight or nine o'clock, they don't need a nap to ensure they have plenty of energy.
They came to the green space to exercise, some took the time to practice and study, some played to digest their food, and some simply sat under the flower stand and stared blankly.
And Xiao Lihua also took out her drawing board and paintbrush.
Not long ago, she got a set of paints that had just been shipped from outer space, and she loved them very much - of course, she also liked the homemade paints that her parents made for her.
They personally collected plants and some minerals and made them according to the methods they learned on the Star Internet, but the variety of colors is not that complete.
Little Lihua held the paint and thought about what to paint today.
At this moment, a small hand stretched out from under the table, secretly grasped Xiao Lihua's paintbrush, and then whooshed back under the table.
Xiao Lihua finally made a decision and was about to start painting when she was stunned.
"Where's the paintbrush?"
She looked down under the table and saw a golden little animal she had never seen before, playing with her paintbrush curiously.
She remembered Xiaozhi showing her a picture. It looked like a monkey?
Xiao Lihua said: "You..."
Before she could finish her words, the little monkey realized that he had been discovered. Instead of returning the paintbrush to her, he ran away with it.
Xiao Lihua's eyes widened. "That's my paintbrush! Give it back to me!"
She jumped off the chair and ran after him with her short legs.
"Stop! Give me back my paintbrush!" Xiao Lihua used her ability while chasing.
However, for some reason, her words had no effect on the little monkey! She also didn't know if it was due to her dazzlement, but the little monkey would disappear from time to time, as if it were invisible.
The only thing that remains unchanged is her brush that keeps flying forward.
"Give it back to me!"
Little Lihua was so anxious that she almost cried. They kept chasing each other until they reached the edge of the pond. Hearing his sister's cry, Rong Heng, who was practicing swordsmanship, also rushed over.
In the pool, a pair of tightly closed eyes opened.
The mermaid boy looked towards the water surface, and then saw the little monkey jumping around by the pool showing off his paintbrush. He swallowed, gently swung his tail, and approached silently.
No one noticed the movement in the pool.
Xiao Lihua continued running, trying to get her paintbrush back.
Just when the little monkey was holding the paintbrush and laughing, with his back completely to the pool, the mermaid boy lurking at the bottom of the water broke through the surface of the water and rushed towards the little monkey.
However, the moment the little monkey heard the sound of water, he disappeared from the spot.
Although Xiao Lihua saw the change, she was unable to dodge in time and because of inertia, she crashed straight into the "water monster" that suddenly appeared.
Ika bared his teeth, his expression fierce and ferocious, looking hideous.
"Brother!" Little Lihua screamed in fright.
"Replace!"
After many actual combat experiences, Rong Heng was not panicked at all at this moment. He quickly activated the power of controlling objects and used the fighting skills taught to him by Li Sinian, and exchanged positions with his sister in an instant.
Ika only felt a flash before his eyes. Not only did the little monkey disappear, but even the girl with lion ears grew taller and bigger, becoming a little boy about eight years old.
A sharp whistle came from Ika's throat, and his momentum did not decrease. His fish tail slapped the water surface and knocked Rong Heng directly to the ground.
Rong Heng was pressed to the ground. The ferocious face of the mermaid boy was reflected in his constricted pupils. He opened his mouth, as if he was going to bite his neck.
He subconsciously held the sword across his chest to block the mermaid boy's attack.
At the same time, the small sword left the scabbard under his control, flew out with a whoosh, spun in the air, and then stabbed towards the crazy mermaid.
only……
“Pah—”
Crystal clear water drops dripped onto his forehead. Rong Heng subconsciously looked up, then froze for a moment. Distracted, the small sword that was piercing towards him also stopped in mid-air.
The fish-tailed boy, who had just had a ferocious look on his face and was about to bite him, now had lost his ferocity and his figure was reflected in his cold blue eyes.
He frowned, and a few more human emotions appeared on his beautiful face. The emotions were very complicated, and Rong Heng could only barely distinguish doubt and...
sad?
Then, he heard the strange boy with a fish tail open his mouth slightly and call out in a very difficult voice: "Yang... Yangyang."
Along with it, tears rolled down from the boy's blue eyes.
