Before Bai Xue opened her eyes, she started bickering with the guy who cast a huge shadow in front of her. Really, he has been out for so many days and just came back!
Zhao Hanyun quickly woke up the few mermaids that were dormant. Then he turned around and saw the mermaids looking at him with fear on their faces. They said innocently, "Well, we don't mean any harm. Don't be afraid."
It would have been fine if they hadn't said anything. As soon as they did, the mermaids all took a step back. Finally, the troublemaker broke free from the chief's restraints and said, "Your friends broke into our territory and dug up a lot of crystals. We use them to hatch our offspring, so I locked them up in the hatchery to punish them. Even if you hadn't come, I would have released them in a few days. So, so..."
So, the reason for all this is that these guys took things they shouldn't have? Zhao Hanyun looked at the shy guys speechlessly, leaning against Zou Li with one hand on his forehead, not wanting to speak. It was so embarrassing.
"Crystal." Zou Li glanced at the small ball that tried to hide, then watched him pour out something that looked as big as a small mountain. It was indeed a stone with some spiritual energy, but it was nothing compared to the one on the girl. Especially since they themselves had a lot of spiritual energy, why did they fall for this? He glanced at Bai Xue with disdain. They must not have been taught the meaning of noble manners. Why did they want to take everything home without even checking whether it was useful?
"I'll give it back to you." He pushed the stones that he had collected for a long time with a feeling of grievance over. The little ball's heart was bleeding. If he had known that these stones would cause trouble, he would not have picked them up. He thought it was a rare sight to see stones with spiritual energy outside and wanted to take them back to fool other people. In the end, these stones were treasures of fish that didn't look very good, and his efforts were in vain.
So many! The mermaids, who had thought Little Ball and his men had only stolen a few crystals, looked at the hill in front of them and finally understood why Little Mermaid was so angry. This was enough for them to use for hundreds of years, and it was almost stolen. However, this guy in front of them was really powerful. Even if they wanted to find crystals, it would take a lot of effort. The current result made them unsure whether to thank the people in front of them or hate them.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put it away." Zou Li's voice rang out again, reminding the mermaids to put their things away. He even lent a hand when they were too busy. After all the crystals were collected, he continued with a smile and asked the mermaid leader beside him: "Have you put away the crystals? Make sure there are no losses."
"Yes, not only did we not lose anything, we even made a killing." The mermaids, excitedly counting their crystals, answered for their leader without hesitation: "It saved us a lot of time and energy."
"Yes, honorable human friend, is there anything else?" The patriarch felt uneasy, as he always felt that the man speaking in front of him might be more dangerous than the woman behind him.
"Then should we calculate the mental damage compensation for locking up my pet?" Zou Li laughed so happily. He killed the fat mermaid. The guy who bullied his people without paying the price did not exist in this world except for the girl clinging to his back, so, haha!
The leader of the merman tribe sighed to the ground. Sure enough, these people were not so easy to talk to. "I understand. I will lead you to our treasure trove and let you pick two items."
"Five."
"Two!"
"Six."
"Three pieces, no more!" Those are the treasures left by our ancestors!
"make a deal."
Zou Li casually extended his hand to shake hands with the mermaid leader: "Let's go now."
"Pah." A crisp cracking sound was heard at this moment, followed by a very small baby cry "wa wa wa wa, wa wa wa."
The people who were about to leave the cave were attracted by the scene, and then in front of everyone, Zhao Hanyun raised his hand awkwardly, with a small mermaid baby crying in the palm of his hand.
"The little mermaid is born!"
“It’s really born!”
"It's been years, we've been waiting for this!"
"Did you hatch him?" The patriarch picked up the delicate little guy in Zhao Hanyun's palm with trembling hands. It had been a long time since he had seen such a pink little guy.
The skin color of mermaids is a blend of silver and gray, but like many newborn mammals, their newborns are also pink and tender. When they grow up a little, they will gradually turn white, and finally become silver-gray, just like the little mermaid that Snow White and the others locked up. He is a mixture of white and gray, and has not fully grown up yet.
"Well, I just touched it lightly, and he fell down by himself." After listening to Zou Li and the head of the human family getting a feel for it, Zhao Hanyun couldn't help but touch it when he saw so many bubbles around him. Before he could get a feel for it, it suddenly exploded. Zhao Hanyun was also shocked. "The little mermaid is born!" What a coincidence, could it be their conspiracy?
Zou Li felt a little helpless about the good treasure he had just got and was about to take it. As expected, the girl could not leave his sight for too long, otherwise something might happen.
"It was really just a light touch. Is there something wrong?" Zhao Hanyun was a little confused. Why were they so excited? Is there anything wrong?
"Try again." The patriarch eagerly selected another bubble and handed it to Zhao Hanyun's palm. Then, in full view of everyone, the bubble in Zhao Hanyun's palm burst with a "pop", and then another pink guy screamed there, which made the mermaids excited.
"Please save our mermaid clan." Without saying anything, he crawled towards Zhao Hanyun. As the clan leader, he sincerely assured Zhao Hanyun and the others, "We will repay you with a generous gift."
"No, you get up first." Zhao Hanyun dragged the little mermaid with one hand and pulled up the mermaid leader with the other hand and asked, "You've confused me. How can we save your clan?"
"Ah, this is a long story." The mermaid leader fell into reminiscence. "Back in the day, our mermaid clan was renowned on the sea. Firstly, we were able to have a thorough understanding of the situation on the sea, and secondly, our craftsmanship, producing textiles that would not get wet by water. However, one day, one of our people was captured by a human, and our nightmare began. Killing, pursuit, and torture. Seeking all our valuable assets, humans invaded our territory and took our people away. But that wasn't enough. When they learned we had crystals, they sent people to dig up most of them, forcing us to hide everywhere. At this time, problems also arose within our clan..."
The offspring could not be hatched. Zhao Hanyun silently repeated this in his mind, and then fell silent. The tragedy of the mermaid clan was actually caused by humans.
