Chapter 100
Xingnuo didn't understand what the great elder said, and looked up with a confused expression.
The Great Elder was a mermaid with an ice-blue tail. He had a cold expression, but when he looked at the little mermaid, there was a hint of gentleness in his blue eyes.
He swam to Xingnuo, pointed at the little octopus above his head, and made a gesture to take it away.
The small octopus above his head spit out a series of bubbles, as if trying to attack the elder.
But before the bubble reached the Great Elder, it burst with a whoosh.
The Great Elder felt the weak strength of the little octopus, and the original sense of familiarity disappeared completely. He snorted and reached out to grab the little octopus on Xingnuo's head.
The little octopus was held up by its tentacles, its head facing downwards, its small eyes full of anger.
It spit out a few more bubbles.
The elder waved his hand to disperse the bubbles, then carried the little octopus out of the training ground.
When Xingnuo saw the little octopus being taken away, he hurriedly followed out nervously.
"Little Octopus, why were you taken away?"
The little octopus' tentacles were still shaking, and it blew out a string of bubbles from its mouth, saying unhappily:
"This ugly mermaid said she wouldn't let me stay on your head. Mermen are really a disgusting species!"
If he had known this earlier, he would have stolen a few more gems from the mermaids!
It’s best not to leave them any!
In this sea, Xingnuo can only communicate with the little octopus. Fearing that something might happen to the little octopus, he has to follow the great elder closely.
The great elder threw the little octopus outside the training ground, and when he turned around, he almost bumped into the little mermaid behind his tail.
"Little mermaid, don't worry about your pet. Just finish the class first."
The Great Elder's expression softened and he gently took the little mermaid's hand and led him to the training ground.
Xingnuo looked back three times, staring at the little octopus outside the training ground.
In the end, Xingnuo was no match for the Great Elder, and was taken back to stand in a row with the other little mermaids.
The Great Elder cleared his throat, his voice was clear and pleasant.
"Today we are going to learn the most important skill of the mermaids: singing."
The mermaids' singing has a hypnotic and controlling effect, and the sound waves can also cause a certain impact, which is the mermaids' main means of combat.
The Great Elder spoke first and sang a short passage.
Although Xingnuo doesn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, the power of the singing can penetrate the language barrier and reach people's hearts.
Xingnuo, who had just become a little mermaid, was deeply shocked by the mermaid's singing.
It sounds really beautiful!
No wonder mermaids are also called sirens. Just a casual hum can make their voices sound more beautiful than those of professional singers.
The other little mermaids nearby also opened their mouths, and their tender and sweet singing voices came out. Although they had no attack power at all, they were still amazing enough.
Sure enough, singing is an innate instinct of mermaids.
After the little mermaids finished singing, each of them received praise from the great elder, and they all happily spun around in circles.
Xingnuo exclaimed and gave the little mermaids a seal-like applause.
The great elder fixed his gaze on the new little mermaid, his eyes showing encouragement, and his voice deliberately lowered.
"Little mermaid, you too, try it. Don't be afraid."
Seeing other mermaids looking at him, Xingnuo's ears turned red. He mustered up his courage and sang a little rabbit song.
This is a nursery rhyme that Xingnuo learned in kindergarten, and it is one of his best.
Xingnuo's singing was a little off-tune, but his voice was soft and he sang very seriously.
There was no perfunctory performance. Although he knew that his singing was not good, he still sang very attentively.
Some little mermaids nearby who had never heard this song gathered around Xingnuo.
After hearing Xingnuo finish singing, the little mermaids imitated what Xingnuo had just done and clapped their hands excitedly in the seal style.
“Nice!”
"I've never heard a song like this before!"
As the great elder listened to the out-of-tune nursery rhyme, his eyes softened and he encouraged the little mermaid.
"Very good! Is this the song the little mermaid learned outside?"
Xingnuo didn't understand, so he could only continue to look at the elder blankly.
The Great Elder was puzzled for a moment when he saw that Xingnuo still seemed to have not learned the mermaid language.
In theory, it is very easy for mermaids to learn to speak.
There is no need to find someone to teach you specifically. The newly born mermaid only needs to listen a few times, and within two days, it will be able to communicate with adult mermaids stumblingly.
Why can’t the new golden mermaid still speak?
However, the great elder did not think much about it. He just thought that the little mermaid might have suffered outside before, and her talent was slightly worse than the little mermaids in the tribe.
Thinking of this, the Great Elder looked at Xingnuo with a little more pity in his eyes.
After the morning training session, the little mermaids had free time.
Xingnuo swam out in a hurry to look for the little octopus outside.
After leaving the training ground, the little octopus huddled in the corner of the door, with all its tentacles hidden under its head, looking like a white ball.
Xingnuo searched for a while and found it in a tentacle that the little octopus slowly raised.
"Why are you hiding here?"
Xingnuo picked up the little octopus, and the little octopus automatically clinged to his curly hair and nestled down comfortably.
"The stinky mermaids hate me. I don't want to cause any trouble, so I have to shrink and hide."
Xingnuo is now a little mermaid. The risk of exposing the little octopus's identity is too great, which will affect the current relationship between Xingnuo and the mermaid tribe.
The little octopus thought that it was no big deal if he suffered a little injustice, and he could just get it back with his mouth.
So on the way back, Xingnuo listened to the little octopus muttering "stinky mermaid" all the way.
Xingnuo's ears were almost callused from listening so much.
Xingnuo rubbed his ears and whispered:
"Little octopus, don't scold the mermaids like that, they are very nice."
Xingnuo has lived among the mermaids for so many days, and has felt the kindness shown by them, and has a high degree of favorability towards this tribe.
The little octopus made a depressed sound and pulled Xingnuo's hair.
"Xingnuo, you're going in the wrong direction."
The little crystal house where the little mermaids live is on the other side.
Xingnuo shook his head, looked in the direction the little mermaids left, and sighed softly.
"I have to leave. I can't stay in the mermaid tribe anymore."
After all, he is different from the mermaids. Xingnuo has always known that he is a fake mermaid.
The little octopus didn't have much opinion on this. He continued to squat on top of Xingnuo's head and said, "Okay."
"Those stinky mermaids are annoying. I'll take you to my lair! There are more beautiful gems there!"
Xingnuo didn't know where to go, so he swam towards the direction of the coral reef where the mermaids brought him yesterday, intending to leave from there.
The little octopus was above his head, waving its tentacles to point him in the direction.
"Go to the left! There is a road full of jellyfish there. Swim over there and you will see my nest."
Xingnuo swam over there obediently and suddenly said:
"Little octopus, you smell like a human."
It was cool and smooth, and the body temperature seemed to always be this cold. Although they were obviously two different species, their small eyes that were always expressionless were very similar to each other.
The little octopus didn't care, just said "oh" and swung its tentacles gently.
"Like what? A place that sells takoyaki?"
The smell of charcoal-grilled baby octopus is probably the closest to the smell of baby octopus.
Xingnuo curled his eyes and chuckled, his fish tail swaying gently.
"No, have you ever eaten takoyaki? I have."
It was a bit fishy and greasy. Xingnuo took a bite, swallowed it with difficulty, and then pushed it all to Brother Shen Baizhou.
Shen Baizhou ate them one by one, enjoying their delicious food.
The little octopus didn't say anything, as if he didn't want to continue this topic, and directed Xingnuo to pass through the huge coral reef.
Xingnuo was swimming and was about to swim out of the coral group, but in the next second, he was grabbed by the tail by the red mermaid.
"What are you running around for, little mermaid?"
Osi, who was out on patrol, was holding his shell knife and the mermaid's tail. When he saw Xingnuo struggling, he quickly let go.
"It's very dangerous outside. You can't leave this coral reef when you go out to play."
Ossi said seriously, took Xingnuo's hand and led him back to Leah.
"It's time for dinner. You should go eat with Leah and then go to bed."
Xingnuo just ran out and was caught again.
He looked at Leah in front of him and the other little mermaids who were chattering and asking him questions, and couldn't help but sigh.
Leah served fish and fruit to the little mermaid and taught the bold little golden mermaid:
"Luckily it was Ossi who found you this time, otherwise it would be very dangerous if you swam out!"
The little red mermaid circled around Xingnuo, muttering:
"Why don't you take me with you? Let's go on an adventure together!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the little red mermaid was lightly hit on the head by Leia.
"You can't swim out of the group! There are dangerous megalodons and monsters outside, as well as a giant octopus that eats mermaids!"
When these words came out, many little mermaids were scared.
The little mermaids shrank their necks and couldn't help asking:
"What does the monster look like? What about an octopus? Does it look like the little octopus on Xingnuo's head?"
Leah glanced at the little white octopus above Xingnuo's head, but her guard was still not relaxed.
She fell asleep on the ground inexplicably last night, and Leah still couldn't figure out whether it was the little octopus who did it.
But the opponent is not even as big as his palm, and several of its tentacles together are not enough for him to eat in one meal. How could it be so powerful?
"That octopus at the bottom of the sea is very ferocious. It can swallow a shark in one bite, not to mention your small body."
Leah successfully explained to the little mermaids the ferocity of the octopus in the sea. Seeing that the little one was scared, she quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, alright, let's eat lunch first. As long as you stay in the tribe, you will be safe."
Xingnuo listened to what Leah said with a serious face, chewed the fruit, and asked the little octopus:
"What is the mermaid sister talking about?"
The little octopus was proud for a moment, shaking its tentacles and saying:
"She's saying she's afraid of me."
Xingnuo: ...
"Really?"
It doesn't seem like it.
The little octopus was very proud and seemed very satisfied with his status as the overlord of the ocean.
"certainly!"
Xingnuo didn't know whether he believed it or not. He sighed softly and fed the soft and tender sashimi to the little octopus.
The little octopus rolled up and devoured the sashimi in one bite.
It ate and promised:
"I'll buy you some octopus balls later. They're delicious too."
Xingnuo couldn't help but smile, his eyebrows curved, and he nodded obediently.
"Well, I don't like spicy food."
The little octopus muttered "I know" and continued to swallow the fish meat that was not enough to fill his teeth.
After eating a few fruits, Xingnuo was dragged around by a few little mermaids to play for the whole afternoon and didn't find any chance to sneak away.
