Chapter 61 A Choice
"From the moment you entered our Kevis family, your intentions were impure!
You liar! For so many years, you have been deceiving our young master and telling him everything!
You just want Star Amber Tears!
And this time, you were the one who ran out quietly by yourself, and the young master couldn't find you anywhere, so he was worried and ran out to look for you!
Otherwise, how could we fall into this threat!
Why did you bring my young master with you? "
The guard was shaking with anger, his voice filled with grief, indignation and accusations:
"Our young master will soon become the head of the family!
Tell us! Which faction sent you as an undercover agent?
You want to take the Star Amber Tears and kill our young master here, so you can take advantage of this opportunity to bring down the entire Kevis family, right?!"
Young Master Kevis's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
He looked at the accused Suchuan, then at the excited family member, and his body involuntarily took a step back.
Everyone: Wow, Mission Impossible.
Fortunately, the federal army did not forget their original purpose. Taking advantage of this dispute, they quietly moved near the altar.
However, affected by the strange vortex, the closer he got, the greater the pressure on his body became. In the end, he could only stop ten meters away and fire from a distance.
"Damn it! These boxes are unbreakable!" a teammate shouted in despair.
Seeing this, the "Shadow Demon" let out a shrill laugh.
He pointed at Suchuan and fanned the flames, saying, "Hahahaha! What do a bunch of stupid humans know? This is a gift from the Sea God!"
Do you think you can stop the coming of the Sea God with the power of mortals? !"
"Besides, do you really believe him? A young man with unknown origins suddenly jumped out and spoke nonsense. Maybe he just wants to consume you, make you both lose, and then take the opportunity to take the Star Amber Tears!
Didn't you notice? He's the only one who can get close to the vortex!
He is not helping you at all, he is taking advantage of you!"
Suchuan listened to the Shadow Demon's provocation, looked at the suspicious eyes around him, and clenched his fists.
This altar would continue to absorb people's vitality, and he could see that the girl chosen by Xingpo Lei was turning pale.
Although it is not clear what her identity is.
But time is running out.
If he doesn't confess everything, not only will he be unable to prevent the disaster, but the Star Amber Tears will also never be able to return to where they should go.
He had to make a choice, a choice that could lead to his downfall.
Suchuan gritted his teeth and cut a deeper wound on his already scarred wrist.
The bright red blood flowed out like a flood, staining his sleeves red and dripping onto the stone surface of the altar with a crisp sound.
His body shook a little, and his already pale face now looked transparent and bloodless.
"Star Amber Tears... can't nourish any life at all!"
Suchuan roared out these words with all his strength, his voice broken by the howling of water and wind.
He suddenly closed his eyes, and two lines of bright red tears slid down the corners of his eyes, leaving shocking marks on his pale face.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely sharp whistle, like the wail of a siren, rang out from his throat, deeply suppressing the rioting crowd.
The wind was blowing wildly and the water was surging.
Under everyone's horrified gaze, Suchuan's lower body began to undergo drastic changes.
His once long legs began to shape, twist and fuse.
Fine, blue-shimmering scales grew from beneath his skin.
In just a few breaths, his lower body transformed into a fish tail, which exuded a mysterious and ancient aura under the reflection of the blue vortex light.
It was a fish tail as gorgeous as a deep-sea gem, strong and powerful, with a forked end, full of the wildness and elegance of the ocean.
At this moment, everyone was completely stunned, including the "Shadow Demon" who was laughing wildly, the greedy Kevis family, the shocked young master, and the federal troops who were on high alert.
They stared in amazement at the incredible scene before them.
It was Suchuan's sudden change.
Or is this his true appearance?
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Suchuan gasped for breath, blood dripping down his wrist, but his eyes were more determined than ever.
This is his only and last chance.
"I...I come from the ocean."
After changing his form, Suchuan's voice also carried the moist breath of the ocean.
"My people are a civilization in the ocean—mermans."
He began to slowly tell a story that had been silent in the long river of time:
"We mermaids are creatures that have lived in the deep sea for generations.
We take the sea as our home, the tides as our songs, and live in harmony with the ocean.
Although our civilization is unknown to the land, it has its own glory and heritage.
We love peace and almost never set foot on land, let alone come into conflict with humans."
Suchuan's eyes turned sad and painful, tears of blood slid down from his eyes again, mixing with the blood on his face:
"Until... until those 'humans' on land broke into our home."
“They believed those false rumors.
Rumor has it that mermaid bones can be used as candles of immortality, igniting the eternal fire of life and granting eternity to humans.
It is said that mermaid skin can be used as a beauty lamp, which can illuminate all the beauty in the world and make mortals look young forever.
Rumor has it that mermaid tears are the most beautiful pearls in the world, and can bring endless wealth and good luck..."
"Those greedy land humans, for these unfounded rumors and for their own selfish desires, broke into my sea!
They slaughtered my people, razed our home to the ground, and took away all my people without leaving a single one alive!"
He pointed to his bleeding wrist, his voice trembling and hoarse:
"They peel off skin and draw blood, just for the so-called 'immortality' and 'beauty'!
But they don’t know that those are all fallacies!
The real treasures of the sea clan are not so easy to obtain!
In ancient books, only the sincere tears of mermaids can form magical monsters that are rarely seen in a thousand years!
Suchuan's gaze turned to An Zhi in Gu Jinyan's arms and the Xing Amber Tears in her hands, with complex emotions in his eyes:
"This treasure, formed from the tears of true heart, is named Star Amber Tears."
"But how do you know this?"
A voice asked.
"Don't you guys never go ashore?"
The "Shadow Demon" looked at Suchuan's fish tail with interest, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Of course you humans told us that yourself!"
The vortex in the center of the altar continued to roar.
The illusory fish tail of Suchuan slapped the ground violently, splashing water.
"But how can I get the mermaid's sincere tears?!"
"You humans... you have no idea."
