Chapter 237

When Li Sinian returned to the rooftop and went downstairs with Mr. and Mrs. Clark, the mermaid boy who was lurking at the bottom of the pool finally 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, and his expression gradually became confused.

He looked at the scenery around the pool, and a trace of doubt appeared in his cold blue eyes.

The interstellar travel lasted for several months, so in the little mermaid's memory, he had been trapped in the water tank for a long time.

The closed environment made him feel irritable and uneasy. The two humans who always appeared beside him exuded an aura that made him hate, 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. He felt a burst of joy from the bottom of his heart when he soaked in it. The fresh air constantly brought by the wind on the water surface also made him feel comfortable.

Most importantly, there was no one around him that he hated.

The little mermaid tilted his head, turned over and swam in the pool. His elegant figure shone with a little light under the refraction of the sunlight, like a water elf, smart and beautiful.

Even though he was covered with scars, it did not affect this beauty at all. Instead, it added a bit of fragility and made him look pitiful.

He dived into the water, and quickly surfaced, breaking through the water surface. In the splashing water, he flicked his tail and jumped into another pool next to him, feeling the long-lost happiness and freedom.

Finally, he floated on the water surface in a backstroke posture, basking in the sun comfortably.

"What was that sound just now?"

Suddenly, a voice came, and the boy's face showed alertness. He turned over and dived into the water, hiding underwater and observing the shore. His blue eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with cold danger.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and Zhuang Shisong's figure appeared at the corner.

He looked up and didn't see any more little mermaids in the pool. "Eh, did I hear wrongly?"

"If there is anything, the intelligent computer will sound the alarm." Wei Ming appeared behind him. "The teacher is here, don't worry."

The teacher he was talking about was naturally Su Ci.

A few months had passed, and there had been no more monster invasions in the nursery or even in the 24th base. They were no longer as nervous as before, and they had blind trust in Su Ci.

Zhuang Shi frowned, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the pool a few times, and was finally pulled away by Wei Ming.

"Let's go, Mu Bao is still waiting for us."

Just as they thought at the beginning, Mu Bao has a very high talent in the inheritance of spiritual plant master. In just one month, his progress has caught up with their progress in a few months.

Wei Ming and Zhuang Shisong were not discouraged, let alone jealous of a child. Instead, they would ask Mu Bao for advice when they had questions they didn't understand, and Mu Bao would tell them everything he knew.

The three brothers helped and learned from each other, and their feelings became deeper and deeper.

Hearing Wei Ming's words, Zhuang Shisong nodded, and finally looked in the direction of the pond, turned around and followed him out.

This side of the building returned to peace again.

The little mermaid under the water popped up, looked at the direction where the two humans left, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

He has marked these two pools as his territory, and now no matter who comes, he will attack 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 of the water.

The unintentional glance just now made him interested in the purification array at the bottom of the pool.

His fish tail swayed flexibly in the water. This pool, which was originally used to purify giant spider meat, was dug large and deep, much larger than the space in the water tank, and was completely enough for him to turn and move.

The little mermaid swam to the bottom of the pool. The water was clear, and the light projected from the water surface was sufficient to illuminate the patterns engraved on the bottom and walls of the pool clearly.

Pulu, who was a water demon at first, suffered a lot in this pool, so he would not come here unless necessary.

As for Ika, who was only transformed into a beast and was not polluted by resentment, he was not only not hurt, but felt like he was in heaven in this pool.

On the other side of the building, Mu Bao was talking to Wei Ming and the others.

With the practice of the spiritual plant master's method, Mu Bao has gradually been able to master part of the power of his blood. 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 back.

Although he has made a lot of progress, Mu Bao knows that he still has a long way to go.

Because, he dare not approach the two small pear trees in the corner of the green space casually, because as long as he gets close to them, his body will quickly turn into a plant after it recovers to normal.

At least he has to wait until he can get close to them without being affected, then he can be considered to have truly learned it!

"When will brother Lielie and the others come back today?" In addition to working hard to practice and study, Mu Bao also misses his brothers and sisters.

His brothers and sisters disappear for a period of time every day, sometimes they disappear collectively, and sometimes just a few of them disappear.

He knows that they are going to fight monsters, and he has no fighting power so he can only stay in the nursery. Mu Bao doesn't want to be a drag, but every time his brothers and sisters disappear, the nursery becomes particularly deserted.

Every time this happened, he couldn't help but wonder, why can't he fight?

Fortunately, brother A Yan comforted him, saying that after he became a powerful spiritual plant master, he could also fight, and 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 rush back before lunch time and are determined not to miss lunch time.

On the river bank.

The purification barrier still stands quietly. Because of the appearance of the purification spiritual grass, the difference in scenery on both sides of the barrier has been reduced a lot. With time, it is estimated that there will be no difference.

The breeze blows past, the bamboo forest makes a rustling sound, and the fat fish in the river occasionally jump out of the water to prey on the small insects flying over the river.

Soon, this peaceful scene was broken.

"Today's snot monster was so disgusting. Why are there always such disgusting monsters?"

The voice of the wolf cub's complaints came, 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 wolf cub's pocket.

Of course, the most indispensable one was Ran Lie, who ran out to fight monsters alone at the beginning.

He walked at the end of the team with his arms folded, listening to the wolf cub's enthusiastic complaints with a sullen face.

Ran Lie always felt regretful that he agreed to take the wolf cub out to fight monsters.

He originally thought that at most he would take Zheng Xing with him, but when he came to the river bank the next day, he saw Langze called Rong Heng and Lu Jiao as well.

Since they were here, he could only take them out together.

Rong Heng's Haoran Sword has made some progress. Although it is not as good as his Chiyan, it is still very useful for dealing with ordinary monsters.

Gradually, they split into two teams and fought on their own. Later, Xuewei found out about this and she also proposed to join.

To be honest, Ran Lie was quite surprised. He could feel that Xuewei didn't like fighting very much.

However, Xuewei said to him: "I want to control my own power and don't want it to hurt people close to me. The more afraid I am and the less I use it, the less I can control it."

"So, please let me fight with you!"

Seeing her so determined, Ran Lie could only agree.

What's more, Xuewei's strength is so great that as long as she controls her emotions and doesn't let the red mist erode her, she is not a drag on the team.

Moreover, after hearing about this, Su Su and Brother A Yan also made a hammer for her...

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 not only was it inlaid with many pink gems, but Xuewei also tied a bow at the end of the handle with a red ribbon.

Anyone who saw such a hammer would think it was fancy and impractical, but...

Ran Lie remembered the effect of Xuewei using this hammer, so he silently slowed down his steps and tried to keep some distance.

However, as if she noticed his gaze, the rabbit ears on Xuewei's head moved slightly, the girl turned around, and then gave him a shy and gentle smile.

Ran Lie: "..."

He silently withdrew his gaze and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.

"Stop talking about the snot monster, or 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 ran to the river bank and pointed at the water lotus in the river and said, "Let's dig some lotus roots back! I want to drink lotus root soup."

In autumn, in addition to the plump river fish, it is also the season for lotus roots to mature.

After Langze finished speaking, he jumped into the water by himself, dug a few sections of lotus roots, and then climbed to the shore with a wet body.

Rong Heng felt that the little wolf cub didn't want to drink lotus root soup, he just wanted to play in the water, otherwise, he could let him use the power of the object to get the lotus roots out.

It's just... looking at his cheerful look, he didn't say anything.

The group returned to the nursery and went back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes, while Langze went to the kitchen with the lotus root.

Yan Ya was also happy to get used to the little wolf cub. Seeing him running in with the lotus root, she took it with a smile, touched his head and praised him.

Langze left the kitchen happily, went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes, and 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 had an open window, and the aroma of food continued to spread out. The mermaid boy in the pool emerged from the water and looked up at the open window of the restaurant.

"Gululu——"

Ika was hungry.

During the trip, Mr. and Mrs. Clark came over, but Ika hid under the water and pretended to be dizzy. The couple was seldom to see their son so well-behaved, so they took the time to go back to rest and sleep.

Li Sinian saw this and went to the kitchen to help, and now he was also sitting in the restaurant to eat.

Ika sniffed and smelled the fragrance in the air. The expression on his face became colder and colder. Finally, he pursed his lips and hid in the water again. After

dinner, the cubs did not go back to the room for a nap.

For children who go back to the room after dinner and go to bed at eight or nine o'clock, they don't need a nap to ensure sufficient energy.

They came to the green space to play, some took the time to practice and study, some played to digest food, and some just sat under the flower stand in a daze.

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 made by her parents.

They personally collected plants and some minerals and made them according to the methods learned on the Star Network, but the variety of colors was not that complete.

Xiao Lihua held the paints and thought about what to paint today.

At this time, a small hand stretched out from under the table, secretly grasped Xiao Lihua's paintbrush, and then shrank back under the table.

Xiao Lihua finally made a decision and was about to start painting, but she was stunned.

"Where's the paintbrush?"

She lowered her head and looked under the table, and saw a small animal with a golden body that she had never seen before, holding her paintbrush and playing with it curiously.

She remembered that Xiaozhi showed her a picture. It seemed to be a monkey?

Xiao Lihua said, "You..."

But before she could finish her words, the little monkey realized that he had been discovered. Not only did he not return the paintbrush to her, he ran away with the paintbrush.

Xiao Lihua's eyes widened, "That's my paintbrush! Give it back to me!"

She jumped off the chair and chased after it on her short legs.

"Stop! Give me back my paintbrush!" Xiao Lihua used her abilities while chasing after it.

However, for some reason, her words were ineffective against the little monkey! And she didn't know if she was dazzled, the little monkey's figure disappeared from time to time, as if it could become invisible.

The only thing that didn't change was her paintbrush that kept flying forward.

"Give it back to me!"

Little Lihua was so anxious that she almost cried. She chased the monkey and the man until they reached the edge of the pond. Hearing his sister's cry, Rong Heng, who was practicing swordsmanship, also rushed over.

In the pond, a pair of tightly closed eyes opened.

The mermaid boy looked up at the water surface, and then saw the little monkey jumping around the pond to show off his paintbrush. He swallowed his saliva, gently swung his tail, and approached silently.

No one noticed the movement in the pond.

Little Lihua continued to run, trying to come over and grab her paintbrush back.

Just when the little monkey was holding up the paintbrush and laughing, and turned his back to the pond, the mermaid boy who was lurking at the bottom of the water broke through the water and rushed towards the little monkey.

However, the moment he heard the sound of water, the little monkey disappeared from the spot.

Although Xiao Lihua saw the change, she was already unable to dodge, and because of inertia, she ran straight into the "water monster" that suddenly appeared.

Ika bared his teeth, his expression was fierce and ferocious, and he looked ferocious.

"Brother!" Xiao Lihua screamed in fear.

"Switch!"

After many practical experiences, Rong Heng was not panicked at all at this moment. He quickly mobilized the power of the object and used the fighting skills taught by Li Sinian to exchange positions with his sister in an instant.

Ika only felt that his eyes were blurred. Not only did the little monkey disappear, but even the girl with lion ears grew taller and bigger, becoming a young boy about eight years old.

A sharp whoosh came from Ika's throat. His momentum did not decrease. His tail slapped the water surface and directly threw Rong Heng to the ground.

Rong Heng was pressed to the ground. The fierce face of the mermaid boy was reflected in his tightened pupils. He opened his mouth, as if to bite his neck.

He subconsciously held the small sword across his chest to block the attack of the mermaid boy.

At the same time, the small sword left the scabbard under his control, flew out with a whoosh, turned in the air, and then stabbed at the crazy mermaid.

But...

"Pah--"

Crystal clear water drops dripped on his forehead. Rong Heng subconsciously raised his head, then was slightly stunned. Distracted, the small sword that pierced him also stopped in mid-air.

The fish-tailed boy who had just looked fierce and ready to bite him had lost his ferocity and his figure was reflected in his cold blue eyes.

He frowned, and his enchanting and beautiful face showed some human emotions. The emotions were very complicated, and Rong Heng could only barely distinguish doubt and...

sadness?

Then, he heard the strange boy with a fish tail slightly open his mouth and call out in a very harsh voice: "Yang...Yangyang."

Along with it, tears rolled down from the boy's blue eyes.
