Chapter 298: Mermaid
Fang Xun cautiously came to the exit of the tunnel, the exit of the tunnel is connected to a huge cave, one by one stalagmites are hanging upside down on the top of the cave, there is no other way out of the cave, the imprints on the surrounding stone walls are listed, extending to the bottomless water surface, but except for the tunnel that Fang Xun came to, there is no tunnel or even a gap is not visible.
The lack of wind here ruled out the possibility of the wind blowing through the tunnel, and the previous baby-like sound could only have come from the water.
After repeatedly confirming with the Qilin that there was nothing in the water that could threaten the existence of this water divine beast, Fang Xun cautiously approached the surface of the water, and the surface of the water was calm like a mirror, without the slightest ripple.
But when Fang Xun was about to jump into the water to find out, Fang Xun felt that something was coming up in the water, so he held the sword in both hands and stepped back twice, ready to cut it out with the sword at any time.
“……。 "Fang Xun in his consciousness covered his face and couldn't bear to look at it directly, "Big brother, what you are holding is a sword, the sword is the emperor of the soldiers, and the person who uses the sword should also have a heart for the world and a frank side, how do you look like a mountain village man chopping wood with a knife." ”
"No matter what momentum he has, if his life is gone, everything else is in vain. Fang Xun's face was full of disdain, and at the same time he was a little nervous, trying to mobilize his true qi only to notice that the aura here was many times richer than when he was outside, as long as there was aura, there were infinite possibilities.
Poof, whoa!
A human-like figure slowly surfaced, when its head and part of its shoulders surfaced, it didn't move, it had blue hair clinging together, big blue eyes were staring at Fang Xun curiously, snow-white skin was like milk, but Fang Xun still felt a trace of hostility.
The reason why Fang Xun judged at a glance that this was not a human was that there were golden scales on the shoulders of this guy who appeared on the surface of the water, and although it also had an amazing arc where it intersected with the water, the looming scales always reminded Fang Xun that this was not a beauty like Feng Xueqi, but a legendary creature, a mermaid!
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Fang Xun's first thought was the various legends about mermaids, the legendary mermaids didn't seem to be good people, charm and cannibalism were the main themes of those legends.
“#0&か:D^。 A bunch of unknown notes came out of the mermaid's mouth, the voice was as beautiful as the legend, and with her almost perfect appearance, the charm was simply brought to the extreme, the only fly in the ointment was that Fang Xun couldn't understand what this guy was saying at all.
"Who are you?" the Kirin suddenly appeared, startling the mermaid, but when he saw the Kirin's real back, he swayed excitedly, and finally jumped up in the water.
Although he has been with Feng Xueqi for a long time and has discussed the mysteries of the human body with her, Fang Xun still has a trace of impulse when he sees the mermaid's almost perfect upper body, but when the mermaid's lower body appears like the legendary one, Fang Xun has a strong feeling of being deceived, and no man can be interested in a huge fish tail.
After the mermaid jumped out of the water, she jumped directly in front of the Qilin, muttering a lot of words that Fang Xun didn't understand, and pointing at Fang Xun from time to time, Qilin was very excited at first, and then responded impatiently.
The atmosphere was not pleasant, but it was obvious that it couldn't be beaten, so Fang Xun inserted the sword back into the scabbard, "There are really mermaids in this world, you don't have any memories of them in your memory?"
Fang Xun in his consciousness shrugged helplessly, "There are too many memory lapses, I don't remember if I have seen this kind of thing, but in my experience, if I encounter this kind of creature, I will definitely take one with me, and I will be the focus of the crowd wherever I go." ”
"How do you know what I'm thinking?" Fang Xun laughed after speaking, it was his future self in his consciousness, no matter how much he experienced, it was difficult to change the things in his subconscious.
At this time, Kirin also finished talking to the mermaid, "It's Serena, the princess of the mermaid clan, and wants to go out and have a look." ”
Seeing Fang Xun's confused face, Qilin had no choice but to continue to explain, a long time ago, merfolk and humans coexisted peacefully for a period of time, and for some unknown reason, a full-scale conflict broke out between humans and mermaids, as evidenced by those marks in the tunnel.
After being defeated, the merfolk were driven to the deepest part of the ocean, and Serena's merfolk tribe was the largest at the time, so the humans went to great lengths to imprison the merfolk here.
This is the ancestral land of mermaids, and it doesn't look big now, but when you dive into the water, you will find the vast space below, just like humans living on the surface of the earth are not willing to live only on the surface of the earth, and some people in the mermaid family want to go outside to see.
Serena was obviously one of them, but since she was imprisoned here by humans, the merfolk would be hunted down by humans once they stepped out of here, so she accused the humans represented by Fang Xun of not abiding by the basic principle of the symbiosis of all things, and imprisoned them here forever.
Fang Xun was dumbfounded and listened to Qilin's almost heavenly book of these things, "There is still such a thing, why haven't I heard of it?"
"It's been too long, it's normal that you don't know, I guess no one will remember these things except for some ancient inheritances. "The Qilin has a bloodline inheritance, and when Heaven and Earth give birth to Divine Beasts and Fierce Beasts, they will leave some things that happened in their memories in the form of inheritance, so although it has not experienced this, it still knows this.
"Then why did it come to you to accuse me?" Fang Xun looked at Selina who was puffing up behind the Qilin, "I didn't participate in sealing the mermaid clan, so it's useless to accuse me." ”
"During the time when mermaids and humans coexisted, the mythical beasts ruled the entire earth, and then the mythical beasts gradually disappeared, and a war broke out between the mermaids and humans. ”
The Qilin was not interested in the glorious era when the divine beasts ruled the earth before, it just wanted to reach the realm of the white tiger who led the divine beasts to destroy all the fierce beasts in his lifetime, that kind of invincible state in the true sense.
"Wow, wasn't that a long time ago, no one should remember those things now, right?" Fang Xun remembered that the legend about the mermaid seemed to never stop, and every once in a while, some people would claim to have seen the mermaid, but they didn't leave any real evidence.
