The taxi drove slowly towards the beach, stopped on a side road, our car drove straight over, the girl did not suspect, walked out of the beach alone, and we stopped behind a small slope in front.

The more I got out of the car, the more familiar I looked at this place, and asked Xi Fan: "Isn't this the place where we went ashore last night?"

Xi Fan nodded, there are a lot of reeds growing in this place, effectively hiding us. The girl looked around as she walked, and when she came to a rock, she saw that there was no one around, and then she stooped down and went into the sea.

"Mom, this girl isn't going to die!" I exclaimed, and Su Er tapped my head, "Look carefully, she's swimming." ”

We stood up and looked closely, and saw that she had swam out for a short time, and then suddenly a thrust plunged into the sea, and there was no more movement. After waiting for a while, we still couldn't see her coming up, and we ran to the reef to make sure she had gone into the sea.

Min Ziqin said to me: "You don't need Brother Li to smell it now, she is 100% a monster." Last time she changed four pearls, that's how she brought them into the cave you were talking about. ”

I asked Su Er, "What should I do?"

"Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, inform Uncle Xi, you go down to the sea to see if you can find the batch of pearls that you lost last night, and if you find it, talk to this Miss Ruyi." ”

When Xi Fan heard this, he hurriedly called his Lao Tzu, and when Lao Xi heard that the monsters were all there, he didn't run away, so he said that they should come over with their equipment. I pondered, "That Miss Ruyi doesn't look like a wicked person just now, I don't think there is any need for Uncle Xi to go down together, you know how deep that hole is, at this age, it seems that we don't respect the old." ”

Xi Fan nodded, and after a while, Lao Xi led people to us with equipment, I told me about the situation, Lao Xi didn't insist, only said that since this is the case, then the three of you should be more careful. We changed our equipment, and as usual, Xi Fan led the way, and we also went down to the sea from the place where Ruy had disappeared just now.

After going down, Xi Fan discerned left and right, gestured to us, we swam behind, and after a while, we saw the big hole last night, it was too dark last night to see clearly, and it felt quite magical at this time.

Entered the cave, swam for a while, it was still a pool, floating, this time happened to be low tide, we rose on the top of the pool, I took off the breathing apparatus and said softly: "After a while, the passage will go in, it will be the cave directly, and Ruy is likely to be over there, so we have to move a little bit, don't go out when we get to the mouth of the passage, and then let's see." The two of them understood, and we soaked ourselves in the water, and swam into the passage with our heads exposed.

When we arrived at the entrance of the cave, we carefully looked inside, and our judgment last night was correct, there was indeed a gap in the top of this cave, but it was very narrow, and now the light came in, and the cave was bright. There didn't seem to be anyone in sight on the small platform, and I was just about to signal them to go up and take a look.

Min Ziqin held us down, and made a silent gesture, and then we heard a clear and melodious sound from the cave, at first there was only one sound, and slowly there seemed to be a lot of ways, resulting in a feeling of reverberation, this sound is very special, but a little familiar, I can't think of what instrument came out, as if I had heard a version of Dongfanghong, it was this movement.

The voice rang for three or five minutes, and then I heard a female voice, which I had heard, Jouy's voice.

"Look, I've got three more pearls, and if we save a little more, your little one will hatch." Then there was a strange sound, as if in response to Jouy's words.

Suddenly, I heard Ru Yi exclaim: "How can there be so many pearls, you... Are you stealing someone else's pearl again?"

"How can you do this, I said I'll try to figure it out. Steal... It's always bad to steal. And then there was a voice, very magical, and we seemed to hear grievances in this voice.

"Alas, this time it's really too much of a hurry, I can't blame you all, in short, in short, I won't take it as an example. ”

Although I don't understand these conversations, the least I can understand is that Jouy and Ruyu are in a group, but Jouy doesn't know about them stealing pearls. Xi Fan patted me on the shoulder, and I turned around in confusion, and I saw that he pointed to us, and a fish slowly swam in from in front of us.

I heard a noise from inside, and then Jou's voice, "Who did you say there was someone at the entrance of the cave?"

I motioned for them to walk inside with my hands raised as I did, "Miss Jouy, we don't mean anything, we just want to talk to you." ”

As soon as I walked in, I was stunned, this girl was naked with her back to us, and her wet clothes were taken off on the ground on one side. I hurriedly covered Xi Fan's eyes with my hands, and Min Ziqin also covered my eyes with both hands.

I stumbled and said, "What, we didn't see anything, girl, can you get dressed first." ”

The girl realized this, and she also exclaimed in surprise and got dressed. Min Ziqin explained on the side: "Miss Ruyi, we are from the Shemale Mutual Aid Alliance, to be precise, we are also monsters, and we have no ill will towards you." ”

"Shemale Mutual Aid Alliance? I seem to have heard of it, are you the group of monsters who gave up their demon personality and became humans?"

I said, "That's right, it's us, our Shemale Mutual Aid Alliance is also responsible for communicating and mediating the contradictions and conflicts between youkai and humans, helping to solve employment problems for youkai who want to join the WTO, and so on." ”

"Then you're looking for me this time?"

"It's a pure coincidence, your Ruyu friend stole the pearls of the Xi family, and the Xi family is actually the descendants of the Ray Fish into the WTO, and is also one of the five permanent member families of our Shemale Mutual Aid Alliance, because considering that it may be a monster who committed the crime, in order to avoid fighting, so let's investigate the pearl theft case, and this will find you. ”

"Ah, the pearl is stolen, this—" Jouy suddenly lost her words, as if she didn't know how to explain it.

Min Ziqin put down the hands covering me at this time and said, "It's okay Miss Ruyi, we did photograph the matter of the fish stealing the pearl, but the pearl is not that important, we just want to have a good communication on this matter." ”

Jouy whispered, "I'm sorry, the pearls were indeed stolen by us, I, I can get them back to you." ”

Min Ziqin asked, "Can you tell us why?" It seems that you need these pearls very much, and we hope to solve some problems for you." ”

Seeing that Jouy had already dressed, and we all went up to the small platform, Jouy was standing on the edge of the waterhole, just a stone was just in the way. At this time, there were many such as squid swimming in the waterhole, and there were about dozens of them.

Seeing that we really had no ill intentions, Jouie explained to us what had happened. It turns out that this Ru Yi is like a fish, and after their clan cultivated and transformed, they once took the surname Ru to walk in the world, and Ru Yi can be said to be the daughter of the patriarch of this small group. Perhaps with these conveniences, it took her a long time to finally succeed in cultivating, while her kind of people never cultivated to human form again.

Later, when the environment deteriorated, she led the group to migrate several times, and even if she came here, it was not long ago. Speaking of why pearls are needed, it is related to the characteristics of their population, such as the mackerel has a big problem, their reproduction is cyclical, every ten years for a cycle, only in the ninth year can give birth to eggs.

And that's just the beginning, once the eggs are born, they need to be placed in a shell full of pearls, which are covered by the female for hatching. During the year, the eggs absorb the pearl's aura and hatch into a new baby fish.

If they don't have enough pearls ready during the production period, the eggs will not only fail to hatch, but will also die, which is why they will not hesitate to steal and save enough pearls.

Min Ziqin said: "I read the records in the ancient books, aren't you like a fish able to give birth to pearls and jades by yourself?"

Ruyi was stunned after hearing this, "No, how is this possible, I have never heard of such a thing, if we could, how could we have withered from a huge race to what we are now." ”

Min Ziqin thought for a while, clapped his hands and said: "I understand, we misunderstood, the book says: It is a raw pearl, not that they can give birth to pearls, but they need pearls to give birth to offspring." ”

Jouy nodded, "That's true. ”

I touched my nose, "It's a bit expensive, since you can't give birth to pearls yourself, how did your previous race reproduce? ”

"We can't grow pearls, but we can grow pearls, and our community used to grow oysters to nurture pearls and harvest them regularly for ten years of reproduction. ”

"That's a cow!" I was a little surprised, "no, why don't you just go to the sea to go pearl diving? Isn't that easier?"

Ruyi was puzzled: "There are many pearls in the sea that we have cultivated, but they were picked by humans before we could harvest them. ”

I understand, it is actually the human being who stole us, this is the big farmer, I stabbed Xi Fan, "Amazing, your family is definitely grandmaster-level." ”
