Chapter 167: The Underwater World
Looking into the distance, the boundless sky, a piece of blue.
Xi Yan closed her eyes and carefully felt this rare comfort.
"Hee-hee, see you again."
Before I had time to understand it, I was interrupted. As soon as she heard this voice, Xi Yan knew that Meng Bai was coming. Her voice was immature, soft and very nice.
When I turned my head to look, it was really cute white, with two thin braids. She has pink hair and big eyes, and she is very cute.
"Sister, we meet again." Meng Bai looked up at Xi Yan.
"yes, how did you find me?" Xi Yan, this child seems to pay special attention to himself.
"Hee-hee, my sister is different from the people on the island."
"How do you know?" Xi Yan was curious.
"The taste on my sister's body is different, well, sweet, like the smell of fresh juice."
Flavor? Xi Yan lowered her head and sniffed, there was no taste.
Meng Bai grinned and said, "Sister can't smell it, people on the island can smell it." ”
"Huh? Can you all smell it? Xi Yan was surprised, since this is the case, why didn't anyone tell her, if it wasn't for Mengbai to mention it, it is estimated that she would never know.
Meng Bai's words made Xi Yan suddenly realize that although the people living on Holy Spirit Island are all people, the essence is not. Seeing them, she always thought she was the same kind as herself.
It wasn't until this moment that she clearly recognized the difference. Could it be that all the dolphins on the island can smell her, this is their family's talent?
Meng Bai said: "Not everyone can smell it." Only a few people can smell it. ”
"Why?"
"My people are all gifted differently, and they were decided at birth. Mine has a keen sense of smell and excellent hearing. Meng Bai showed off her abilities to Xi Yan.
"What about your chief?" Xi Yan asked curiously.
Meng Bai shook her head and blinked her cute big eyes, "I don't know." ”
"You can find me because of the smell?" Xi Yan thought, Holy Spirit Island is so big, even if you have a keen sense of smell, you can't find it at any time.
Meng Bai stuck out her tongue, "It's not all." The island is too boring, so I'll go to the chief to find you. Rio says you're leaving. ”
Meng Bai looked at Xi Yan expectantly, "Sister, the story of that little boy." Can you go on? ”
At that time, the drama of coaxing children was mentioned again, especially when she saw Mengbai's sincere big eyes, Xi Yan felt ashamed and continued: "The end of the story has been said. Sister, I stayed with you, and it is unknown whether the little boy will be able to find his relatives. ”
"That little boy is very pitiful. Sister, tell me another story, what you said is different from what they said. "The cute little girl mentality likes to listen to stories.
Innocent children, beautiful and comfortable environment, plus a good mood. Xi Yan did not refuse.
Began to tell the story of the trip, in fact, she doesn't know how to tell stories. It's just a matter of putting it over. It's just a retelling of the original.
But these are all fresh stories in Meng Bai's ears. For the outside world, I also have a more longing for it.
An hour later, Xi Yan finally sent Meng Bai away. In the face of such a cute child, I couldn't refuse her request.
Unable to leave for the time being, Xi Yan began to look for a place to live. Although the colorful glass house was beautiful and luxurious, she was reluctant to build a house with glass, so she could only find some trees and build a wooden house. The location was chosen on the west side of Whitsunday Island, where there were relatively few people living here.
Surveyed Whitsunday Island again. There is no clue, but it makes Xi Yan more confused. Because, Rio said that there was a lot of glaze here, but she didn't find a place to store glaze on the island.
Encounter with Lan Wei. Xi Yan raised the question in her heart.
Lan Wei is a cold woman with few words. But he still answered Xi Yan's question, which is not a secret on the island at all, and you will know the answer by asking someone at the table.
It turned out that the glass was at the bottom of the sea, and Xi Yan suddenly realized. She always thinks that the answer lies on the island, but ignores the fact that the Rio people are imprisoned here. It's not just the island, it's the sea.
White dolphins are born with the ability to transform into human form, but there are many who like the body. The body is inseparable from seawater at all.
"Thank you!" Xi Yan sincerely thanked her.
Lan Wei said: "Mengbai has been mentioning you since she went back, saying the story you told, is the outside world really so exciting?" ”
I have been living in a square inch and have limited knowledge. For the world that Xi Yan said, Lan Wei couldn't imagine it. Just by hearing about it, it's far more exciting than life here.
"Uh......" Xi Yan didn't expect Lan Wei to ask, "The outside world is different from here, but each has its own advantages." There are people who want to live a peaceful and comfortable life like yours, and you want to be different from the outside. I think people are interested in things that they haven't experienced. ”
After thinking about it, Lan Wei nodded, "You're right, that's it." Even if I knew it in my heart, I couldn't help but think about it. ”
Asking herself, what kind of life she likes, Xi Yan felt that she had never thought about it. There is no special yearning and longing, just living step by step.
"Do you want to go outside?" Xi Yan still asked. The white dolphin that lives here.
"Yes." Lan Wei replied, "However, I can only think about it." It took tens of thousands of years for our ancestors to go out, but they didn't succeed in going out, and to this day, we can only think about it. ”
Lan Wei had almost no hope of going out, if he had, he would have gone out a long time ago, why wait here for so long, there is no result. She knew that the reason why the leader Rio was so polite to Xi Yan was that he still had very little extravagance.
Xi Yan was silent. She also wanted to go out, but now there was little hope, so she had to explore it herself.
……
When she came to Rio's house again, Xi Yan said straight to the point: "Rio, I want to go to the bottom of the sea to see." ”
Rio knew that she was going to see Ruri. From the day he saw her mention the sparkling look in Liuli's eyes, he already knew. In the past few days, I have been waiting for her ****. Sure enough, she did.
"No problem, I'll go with you to have a look." Rio laughed.
Xi Yan was surprised and said, "You go in person?" ”
Rio nodded.
"Ahh Xi Yan was flattered, she originally wanted to find someone to take her to in the date.
Rio was amused by Xi's expression. "Before we go, though, we should find you something."
"What's that?" Rio's mysterious words successfully aroused Xi's curiosity.
"Follow me, we'll find out later."
Rio walked into the house with Xi Yan and took out a very beautiful purple glass box.
As soon as I saw the box. Xi Yan's eyes lit up. I thought to myself, this box must be worth a lot of money. I don't know what will be inside.
Then, Rio was seen taking out a fist-sized white bead from the box. Xi Yan looked at Rio inexplicably, in her opinion. This white bead is not as precious as the outer box. However, she was relieved to think that the glass was worthless here.
"Any idea what this is?" Rio asked mysteriously.
Xi Yan shook her head.
Rio looked at Xi Yan's eyes just staring at the box, and was disappointed. Xindao, this person really doesn't know the goods. But he said, "Don't underestimate this bead." If you want to go to the bottom of the sea, this is essential. ”
Hearing this, Xi Yan turned around and said in surprise: "Avoid water droplets? ”
Rio nodded, still a little eye-catching.
"Is it really a water droplet? Just this bead? "Xi Yan was too surprised, avoiding water droplets is a treasure, extremely rare.
"Of course."
Xi Yan stretched out her hand to take it and take a look, but Rio's hand quickly withdrew, and she reached out and pounced.
"If you want to see the beads, you need to promise me one condition." Rio Road.
"On what terms?" It turned out that there was a request. Xi Yan was much more cautious. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Rio smiled and said, "This condition is easy, it won't endanger your life, it just needs you to go somewhere." ”
"Where?"
"I can't say yet, but you'll know when you get to the bottom of the sea. In addition, as an accessory condition, you can take as much glass as you want with the glass on the seabed, how about it? ”
This condition was so tempting that Xi Yan couldn't help but blurt out. Promised. But looking at the appearance of Rio, it must not be so easy to refuse to say the conditions.
"This bead is for me too." Xi Yan put forward the conditions.
"Okay." Rio agreed without blinking.
The more this is the case, the more bottomless Xi Yan's heart is. Rio is too generous. If it's something that can be done simply, can you use such a big thank-you gift? But the promise was too fast.
"Very good, take it, let's go." Rio handed the water-repellent bead to Xi Yan, turned around and left.
Xi Yan held the beads and didn't have time to look at them carefully. And he followed him.
When she came to the beach, Xi Yan asked, "How do you use this bead?" ”
"Just take it out, the water droplets will automatically form a protective cover when they meet the water, and the water will be isolated."
Sure enough, there are water-repellent droplets in my hand, and after entering the sea, I feel the storage of the sea water as if I were walking on the ground, without any discomfort.
Xi Yan's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch the wall of the transparent cover. It is soft and haphazard, but it always prevents the entry of seawater.
Rio is in the sea, completely unrestricted, his body is a white dolphin, and when he enters the sea, he becomes his body again. The huge size of the white dolphin is at least two adult bodies superimposed on top of each other.
"Rio, how long have you lived?" Seeing his body, Xi Yan couldn't help but ask. It's too big, and with such a size, it must have lived for a long time.
Sure enough, I heard Rio say: "More than 3,000 years." ”
The lifespan of human beings is far from 3,000 years, except for those who have achieved great things on the path of monasticism. Heaven is indeed fair, although beasts have a long lifespan, their cultivation is extremely slow, and human beings have the most suitable body, but they do not have such a long lifespan.
"The lifespan of my race is basically thousands of years, but this long life has been consumed in this square inch. For a thousand years, I have not seen the prosperity of the world. "When it comes to this, Rio is full of vicissitudes.
Xi Yan thought that if she had lived for thousands of years and had been trapped here, she didn't know what it would be. However, that kind of life is not the best. It's too lonely and boring.
Fish swam by, all sorts, and Xi Yan was dazzled. There are so many that it's impossible to tell what kind they are.
"Rio, aren't there any aggressive sea beasts in the sea?" What if a powerful sea beast suddenly comes and swallows them?
Rio smiled bitterly: "In this confined sea, there has never been a powerful beast, otherwise how could our clan live in peace for so many years." ”
Xi Yan thought, it is true. The combat power of the Rio clan is not strong enough, and the talents are different, and it is really not by luck that they can live for thousands of years, but by the environment here. There are no strong predators, and nature reproduces quickly.
With her own safety guaranteed, Xi Yan no longer worried, and concentrated on watching the beautiful scenery under the sea.
The water is blue, and fish of all colors are roaming. Near the bottom of the sea, the light was still sufficient, enough for Xi Yan to see the whole body clearly.
Xi Yan thought that this sea area is not deep, but it contains huge treasures. Because she saw that those sea corals in different shapes, all kinds of pearls, each of them was worth a thousand gold.
After reading this, Xi Yan suddenly understood why Liuli was so worthless on Holy Spirit Island. There are so many treasures here, there is everything.
I don't know what the place where the glass will be produced.
Half an hour later, Xi Yan knew the answer. It's just that her eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly, and she couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing.
No wonder the glaze was used to build houses, and the reserves of glaze here are amazing.
A large area of the seabed, all of which is paved with colored glass, is colorful and has no end in sight. It's impossible to estimate exactly how many.
This is just the surface, the most surprising thing is that digging down from the table xiàn, it is even more bottomless, all of it is glass. It's so beautiful, so beautiful that you can't even open your eyes.
"This, all of this?" Xi Yan said in surprise.
"yes, otherwise the island would be made of it. These things, put here, are so wasteful that they can only be mined and used as decorations. Rio said.
"There are so many treasures here, you really have treasures under the sea. Any piece of treasure is priceless when it is taken to the outside world. If you communicate with the outside world, there must be a lot of people who come here to rob. ”
Rio's heart moved, and she was right. Before, they were just looking for a way out, and they never thought about what kind of situation the Whitsunday Island would face if they really found a way out.
The crowd rushed and flocked to it. If this is the case, Whitsunday Island will soon be ransacked, and the race will be wiped out.
Rio suddenly realized the crisis, and it was not good to be confined, but if he really had to face such a situation, how should he choose. At this moment, he suddenly hesitated.
If the way out is in sight, what should he choose?
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Rio was motionless, Xi Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, I was thinking about what you just said."
"What?" Xi Yan doesn't know why.
Rio voiced his concerns.
"Before you find a way out, you're worried. Rest assured, how can a way out that has not been found for tens of thousands of years be so easy to find. You'll also have plenty of time to think about coping strategies. (To be continued.) )
