Chapter 236
After several months of interstellar navigation, the spaceship of Mr. and Mrs. Kerrick finally arrived at the supply station of Hell Star. After some garlic blessing at the supply station, they were led by the staff to the 24th base.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Kerrick had heard Li Sinian explain the effects of this "garlic perfume" on the way, they were mentally prepared, but after actually contacting it...
the smell was still a bit unbearable!
On the way, they also saw the environment of Hell Star through the window.
The couple had never seen a planet with such a harsh and dangerous environment. Although they could see green plants, it was still far from those habitable planets.
Mr. and Mrs. Crick were no longer optimistic when they thought that they would have to live on the Hell Planet for a long time.
More importantly, in the last month of the interstellar journey, their son's berserker problem became more and more serious. Not only did his temperament become more violent and irritable, but the scales also spread from his lower body to his chest and abdomen.
He was completely unrecognizable, and he slept less and less every day. He rolled around in the water tank almost all day long, constantly hitting the tank wall with his body.
The most serious time was that the water tank was hit with spider-web-like cracks. If he had not been discovered in time, he would have escaped from the tank.
Mr. and Mrs. Crick could only take turns to watch over him. Interstellar travel is easy to get tired, and coupled with lack of sleep, they are now exhausted.
Looking at the topography of Hell Star, the only thing they could think of was that
even if they couldn't cure their son, at least Li Sinian was in charge of the nursery, so they could temporarily hand over their son to him for care, and let them have a good sleep.
Because they were too tired, and the scenery of Hell Star really didn't attract them, so they didn't pay attention to it later.
So, after they landed at the designated location and got off the spaceship according to Li Sinian's request, they were... shocked by the vast and vibrant plains in front of them.
Such plains were certainly not unheard of by Mr. and Mrs. Kerrick, but when it appeared on Hell Star, it brought a strong visual impact.
Even more shocking was the towering tree across the river.
"What kind of tree is that?" Clark said in astonishment, "I've never seen such a tall tree!"
"That's the ancestor of the Wood Clan, Mu Qing."
After hearing the answer, Clark turned his head and saw Li Sinian appearing behind him.
Marshal Li, who was once the most powerful and most respected in the Tes Empire, was now wearing a simple gray-blue uniform. He was no longer as majestic and cold as before, but had a more peaceful temperament.
After a slight pause, Clark stepped forward and gave this old friend who he hadn't seen for a long time a hug.
"Kerrick, you've worked hard on the journey."
Li Sinian saw that the two were not in good condition, patted his shoulder, and then got to the point, "Where is Ika? I'll take him to the nursery."
Although he was curious about how the ancestor of the Wood Clan was on the Hell Star, when Li Sinian mentioned Ika, Kerrick's attention was immediately diverted, "He's still on the spaceship."
"Then take me to see him."
"Okay, follow me."
Li Sinian followed the couple on the spaceship, chatting as they walked.
"How is Ika?"
"To be honest, it's a bit bad." Kerrick was worried, "Li, tell me the truth, can that Su breeder really cure Ika?"
"Don't worry, if the Su breeder can't do it, then I'm afraid no one in this star can cure him." Li Sinian said with certainty.
Seeing his confidence, Mr. and Mrs. Clark relaxed a little.
"Is Yan Ya okay?" Mrs. Clark asked, "The last time I saw her was two years ago."
Since the disappearance of her children, Yan Ya has been traveling around the stars, rushing over whenever there is any suspicious news. They have not met many times in these years. When Yan Ya's body could not bear it and returned to the Tes Empire, they gradually resumed contact.
"She is fine. After the children were found, her condition has been getting better and better. Now she lives a fulfilling life every day."
Speaking of his wife and children, Li Sinian's face unconsciously smiled, "I also want to thank you for your help and support over the years."
"Do we need to say this?" Clark said.
"Yes, and we didn't help much." Mrs. Clark nodded, "It's great that the child can be found."
When they entered the room at the end of the corridor, the Clark couple fell silent, and Li Sinian also saw Ika in the transparent water tank.
The boy with blue hair and blue eyes had a slender figure. From the chest down, there were fine light blue scales attached, extending all the way down, from the hips down to become a fish tail, and the scales also changed from light blue to dark blue.
He swam quietly in the water, his beautiful scales gleaming with light, looking intoxicatingly beautiful, but -
"Bang! Bang!"
The mermaid boy, who was originally quietly suspended, bared his teeth at them fiercely after noticing their arrival. His beautiful blue vertical pupils were full of coldness, without any human emotions.
He became agitated and began to hit the wall of the water tank hard.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The skin on his body that was not covered by scales was already left with purple scars. Even the scales could not withstand such day and night impacts. Some of them fell off his arms, back, and tail, and the wounds were soaked white by water.
Not to mention the Clark couple, even Li Sinian felt sorry for him when he saw it.
"Has he always been like this?" Li Sinian asked.
"Yes, sedatives don't have much effect on him, and every time the effect of the medicine wears off, his condition becomes more serious. We dare not use sedatives on him anymore." Clark said.
Mrs. Clark's eyes were red.
"He can't leave the water for a long time, and he can't calm down. We can only add medical drugs to the water to relieve his injuries a little."
But this is obviously only a temporary solution.
Li Sinian nodded. He was not frightened by the violent appearance of the teenager, but walked closer to the water tank and tried to communicate with Ika.
"Ika, do you remember me?" He said, "I'm Uncle Li."
In response, Ika hit him even harder.
Li Sinian continued, "What about Yangyang? You played together when you were little, remember?"
"Bang!"
The boy hit the water tank again and screamed at him.
Li Sinian couldn't help but sigh, then turned to the Clarks and said, "Let's take him to the brooding house first, the keeper Su is waiting."
Ika couldn't stay away from the water for a long time, and given his condition, they had to transport the water tank off the spaceship.
When they reached the ground, the Clarks were a little confused, and saw Li Sinian directing the robot to push Ika's water tank to a small house in the distance.
They didn't understand why, but they still followed him there together.
They didn't know if it was the smell of garlic or the effect of the huge tree, but they felt that the air on this plain was particularly fresh. Just breathing like this, their exhausted bodies and minds were relieved.
Even Ika, who was restless in the water tank, calmed down a little.
Soon, they came to the side of the hut, and saw Li Sinian continue to command the robot to put the water tank on a piece of open space with a strange pattern drawn on it.
The water tank was not small in size, and it directly occupied two-thirds of the entire pattern.
"Let's go up and squeeze in." Li Sinian said.
The Kricks followed him blankly and squeezed together in the less than one-third of the remaining space.
"Lee, this is..."
Before Cracker finished speaking, he saw a round ball of water jumping out of the river, jumping a few times and landing on the top of the water tank.
Ika seemed to have found prey, and suddenly hit the water tank upwards, causing it to tremble slightly.
"Puff!"
The small ball of water jumped, and a water arrow went vertically downwards, actually passing over the water tank and directly generated. After hitting the water in the tank, it turned into a stream of water and hit the mermaid boy's head.
The boy trembled slightly, then closed his eyes and sank softly to the bottom of the tank - he was actually knocked unconscious by the water flow.
"Puff!"
The small ball of water jumped proudly.
Mr. and Mrs. Crick watched this scene in disbelief. Just as they were about to check on their son, the formation beneath their feet lit up and engulfed them along with the water tank, and then disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the rooftop of the nursery building.
Mr. and Mrs. Crick were stunned. What was going on?
Li Sinian did not rush to explain to them, but just said, "We have arrived at the nursery. Let's go find the breeder Su first. As for this teleportation formation... I will tell you later." Mr.
and Mrs. Crick had to suppress their doubts. They opened the water tank and pulled their son out of the water. They found that he was just fainted, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
"That water ball just now..."
"It's a creature from Earth. It has a bad temper, but it won't hurt the cubs."
"Pulu!"
As soon as Li Sinian finished speaking, the water ball fired another water arrow. The water tank that Ika couldn't break was shattered directly. The water rushed out and soaked the three adults.
"Pulu~"
The water ball made a happy sound, and then jumped onto the teleportation array before Li Sinian got mad, activated the array and escaped.
Li Sinian wiped his face helplessly and said to his confused friend: "Sorry, it's quite naughty."
The Cricks shook their heads. They were mermaids and didn't reject water. They also felt naturally close to the creature called Pulu.
But without the water tank, what should Ika do?
He was like this because he was beastly. He would not grow legs after leaving the water.
Li Sinian said: "There are two pools downstairs. Let Ika stay in the pool first, then we will change clothes and go to see the keeper Su."
Fortunately, Ika was knocked unconscious by Pulu and could not wake up for the time being. Moreover, he could not leave the water because of his beastly transformation. There should be no problem to put him in the pool.
The Cricks also thought this method was feasible, so Li Sinian carried Ika downstairs and put the little mermaid in the pool under their gaze. Then he led them to change clothes in the room on the seventh floor.
What they didn't know was that when Li Sinian left, the mermaid boy who fell into the water opened a pair of cold blue eyes.
