Chapter 1352 1360 [Terrible Mermaid]
The moment she came out of the water, the mermaid's wet hair spread in the wind, revealing the crystal-like scales on her cheeks.
It should have been a pleasing sight, but when Kidd caught a glimpse of it with his sharp eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he instinctively felt that something was wrong.
The next moment, his eyes moved downward and landed on the mermaid's slender tail.
Kidd: “…”
Kidd: “…………”
Kidd: “!!!”
Before his brain could react, the man had already raised his hand and grasped the mermaid's shoulder.
The mermaid was startled, a little surprised: this human was really enthusiastic, he actually came up and put his arm around her shoulder. After facing Jiang Xia all year round, she thought that her current appearance did not meet the aesthetic standards of teenagers.
I was feeling secretly happy, because I felt that this thief had a good eye for beauty.
The next second, Kidd burst out with tremendous strength driven by his desire to survive. He closed his eyes tightly and exerted force to push the mermaid out of the water back into the river.
There was a huge splash of water.
Jiang Xia looked at the mermaid lying flat on the water, losing her elegance, and the rising water: "..."
After Kidd threw the fish, he suddenly withdrew his hand and shook off the water on it, still in shock.
Suddenly he found that Mist Tengu was watching him silently beside him, and he suddenly remembered: he seemed to have dropped the helper that Mist Tengu had invited.
Suddenly a little embarrassed: "Um, I didn't mean it. It's just, just..."
Jiang Xia: “…” I don’t mind too much. After all, it wasn’t me who fell so ugly.
but……
Suddenly, a parabola passed before my eyes.
——The egg of memory broke out of the water with a splash and fell into Jiang Xia’s arms.
Jiang Xia subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and vaguely felt that he understood something.
The next moment, the boat beneath him suddenly tilted.
…
The boat was not very big. In order to rescue the people secretly, Terai Huangzhisuke got a small boat of similar size to the hand-cranked boat.
This certainly makes it difficult for people passing by the river to notice, but it also makes it convenient for the angry mermaid.
The mermaid was pushed back into the river. She was dazed for a moment, then finally came to her senses and, in anger, overturned the boat with her tail.
The moment the boat capsized, a figure floated into the sky - a flying puppet was very convenient. Jiang Xia shook off the water splashed on the corner of his clothes and looked at the river.
Kidd was still on the boat. He obviously hadn't come back to his senses yet. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up: "Wait... Gurgle Gurgle Gurgle——"
“…”
Jiang Xia descended a little from the sky. He looked at the angry mermaid and found that although she was angry, she had no intention of drowning the thief, so he turned around and looked at the boat upside down on the river.
He used a lot of strength to flip the boat back.
Then he poured off the water, sat back inside, and looked down at the heavy "Egg of Memories" in his hand.
Jiang Xia: “…” What a big egg.
After being stolen by Kidd, the content of the energy core inside did not disappoint.
Jiang Xia raised his sleeve to wipe off the river water on it, put it to his mouth and gestured, feeling that the egg was round and hard to eat. Besides, he would return it to Suzuki's house later to catch scorpions, so it would be best to finish it as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he looked around calmly.
He found the only living person nearby, still struggling to escape the clutches of the mermaid in the river, and no one noticed what he was doing. Jiang Xia turned his back to Kidd and the mermaid, opened the puppet's mouth as wide as possible, swallowed the egg in one gulp, quickly absorbed the energy core inside, and then took it out.
Everything happened so quickly and due to the darkness of the night, no one saw this horrifying scene.
After Jiang Xia took the energy core, he looked down at the egg of memory in his hand and found that it had become a little dim, just like the previous collections that had been sucked. However, there was no problem with the various parts. It was still that precious egg. It would recover after a while, and the Shi Kaobing should be able to take the bait again.
…
After eating the energy core, Jiang Xia thought of the person who had worked so hard to steal the egg.
He turned to look at the merman. "Okay, he just…"
After a pause, he silently swallowed back his “hate fish” and said, “It’s just that I’ve never seen a mermaid before, and I was too nervous, so I didn’t control my strength well.”
The mermaid also felt the influx of the energy core.
She snorted, lifted Kidd out of the water, shook him off, and threw him back into the boat.
Kidd fell onto the deck with a thud and wrapped his wet cloak tightly around him: "...A-choo!"
Jiang Xia thought of something and looked at the coat beside him. As expected, an old man in the family is like a treasure. The clothes that Terai Huang Zhisuke prepared for drowning were used now. The old man was quite prophetic.
He picked up his coat and covered Kidd with it in a friendly manner, hiding his achievements and fame.
Kidd had mixed feelings: "...Thank you."
...Mist Tengu is actually quite considerate. It would have been better if this coat wasn't even wetter than the rest of his body.
Fortunately, it’s still summer, so it’s not that cold.
Away from the nighttime river, Kidd gradually recovered.
He sighed sadly, still frightened by what had just happened: the new monster was too violent. In comparison, Mist Tengu was really a good guy... No, he was really a good monster.
I was condemning the terrible fish in my heart.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of water splashing nearby, and something jumped onto the boat.
"!!!"
Kidd turned his head and saw the mermaid who had suddenly turned fierce: cold hands, cold scales, and cold eyes.
When his eyes fell on the mermaid's tail, Kidd suddenly looked away.
He looked up at the sky, silently moving away from the big fish, trying to cover up his fear by making small talk: "Well, you monsters can actually make friends, ahahaha, how amazing... But you are in the sea, and he is a monster in the mountains, how did you two know each other?"
Mermaids can't speak human language.
Jiang Xia thought for a moment and answered for her: "The recipes are similar and we have similar interests."
Kidd: “?!” Mermaids also like to eat dried human meat strips?!
...No, no, that's not right. You must try to remember that Mist Tengu doesn't eat humans and is a good monster...The recipes he mentioned should be referring to the collections he stole.
Thinking of this, Kidd glanced towards Jiang Xia.
Seeing the dim egg of memories in Mist Tengu's hand, he suddenly realized something and was stunned for a moment: "..." The treasure that Miss Mermaid fished out was actually eaten by Mist Tengu first?
...Brother Tengu is actually at the top of the monster food chain?
Thinking of this, the image of Mist Tengu in his mind suddenly became a little more elevated.
Kidd: "..." If that's the case, then can this fish that is staring at him eagerly...
Jiang Xia soon received a look of help from the thief.
He looked at the mermaid and found that after fooling Kidd, the irritable fish had obviously calmed down.
