5. Chapter 5 Power Grid
He had a small bulging gap in his lower abdomen, covered in a transparent film. That's the mermaid's raw straight organ when they need to be. When mated, the same columnar organ as a human will penetrate through the membrane and expose the outside of the body.
It looked terrible, there were quite a lot of wounds around the thing, and if I were to bandage it, I would inevitably rub it there.
Still, he was just a kid in my eyes, and I didn't equate him with a grown man. I pressed his moving fishtail and bandaged him naturally.
But his actions were the exact opposite of my composure. As soon as I inadvertently rubbed the film, the skin under my hands immediately tightened, and his breathing sank.
"Kasha......" He rolled a low syllable in his throat, his Adam's apple slid up and down, and the fishtail arced against my leg.
The touch of the scales rubbing through the pants did not hurt, but there was a cold tingling sensation, if it was a beautiful girl in front of me, I would definitely hold her excitedly, but unfortunately, he was only a male creature.
He looked small, but his body developed unexpectedly early, and the little thing slowly pushed open the membrane, revealing its still underdeveloped head, and I immediately slapped his fishtail away and continued to bandage his wounds. He seemed to be very dissatisfied, his chest rose and fell violently, and the fishtail was wrapped up again, and he even walked around my back with his hands restless, put his arms around my waist and said, "Shu Pao." I guess it's a word for comfort or hope.
I said calmly, "If you move any more, I'll stop my bandage." ”
My warning worked, and he uttered a meaningless syllable in displeasure, honestly retracting his tail and hands, and pressing back the organs that were almost exposed.
I sped up the bandage, and when his breathing rate reached an incredible rate, I was finally done bandaging and leaving the massive amount of male hormones.
March walked over, threw a few branches to the ground, and wiped the sweat from his head: "The sun is about to go down man, I picked up a few branches on the edge of the woods, you can see if they can be used."
I picked up the branch and touched it, it was a little damp, I peeled off the outer bark and tried to light it, but it was extinguished as soon as I wiped out a little spark.
"Oh my," March shouted, patting his forehead, "it must have just rained here." ”
"I'll go find it."
I walked towards the woods, and after a few steps, I felt something rustle behind me. He will go when I go, and he will stop when I stop. When I was about to enter the woods, I couldn't help but look back: "What are you going to do with me?"
"Kashi." Not surprisingly, I was followed by the mermaid. He curled up his fishtail and changed from a crawling position to a sitting position, and looked at me with wide eyes, like a discarded child, and his eyes were innocent.
"You stay here." I saw that he seemed to want to say something, so I continued, "The grass in the woods may cut you, and I don't want to bandage you again. ”
"Moda?" He tilted his head and waved his webbed paws as if to ask me what I was going to do.
"Look for dry branches to make a fire," I added, glancing at the setting sun approaching the horizon, "and find food by the way." Please stay here," I warned him, "March is my friend, and if you hurt him, I will not spare you." ”
As soon as the syllables "......" and "March" were finished, he let out an unfriendly growl, and his expression became quite ugly, but when he heard my words, he immediately put back his unfriendly expression, grinned at me, and stuck his head over.
I subconsciously took a step back.
His movements suddenly stiffened, and he looked up at me with a very hurt expression: "Moda......"
I have to admit that the expression was so aggrieved that my heart softened as if it had been pierced by a laser.
Sals, he's just a kid, if he wanted to hurt you now, he wouldn't have saved you just now. Think about the little mermaid who has been with you for a month, if the mermaid in front of you is him, are you still ruthless enough to treat him like that?
I had to let my guard down: "Come here." He immediately happily took a step forward, arched his head into my palm, and gently patted the fishtail: "Kasha Kashi."
His movements were hard to decipher, and it took me half a minute to realize that he was trying to please me - I think he must have had a brain wound to the Mermaid Lord, or I couldn't explain why he would act the opposite of bloodsucking.
I thought about it for a moment and reached out to touch his head, and he seemed even more excited, leaning his face against my palm, happily enjoying my caresses. I withdrew my hand, told him not to follow, and then turned and went into the woods.
It didn't take me much time to find the right branches and I was lucky enough to harvest a few berries. Unfortunately, there was no prey on the outskirts of the woods, which meant we had to live on fruit tonight.
As I walked back, I heard a scream.
It's the mermaid's voice! Hell, did he attack March again?
I quickly ran back, and there was only one person on the beach, not a mermaid, and suddenly a blue shadow passed by on the sea, but when I looked over, the blue shadow was gone.
I frowned, there was a messy crawl trail on the sand, and a few drops of blue blood were melting into the sand. But March's clothes were fairly flat and his breathing rate was normal, and he didn't look like he was in a tough fight with a merfolk.
When March saw me coming back, he pointed to the sea and said, "Look at that guy!" After you left, he crawled back into the sea and didn't know what happened...... Hey, he's popping up! ”
About 50 meters away from me, the waves are like white lotus blooming on the sea, a blue-tailed mermaid pierces the waves, leaps into the sunset, the graceful curve is so beautiful and natural under the intersection of light and shadow, I almost want to take out my camera and take pictures of this moving scene.
However, the beauty only lasted for a few seconds before a yellow glow erupted in the air, and the merfolk let out a high-pitched scream and fell into the sea on its back.
In an instant, the scene of Ed being hit coincided with this strange scene, and I subconsciously shouted "Ed" and rushed into the sea to swim towards the mermaid.
When the blue fishtail came into view, I really wanted to pat my forehead: Sals, you idiot, he's a mermaid, a sea creature, and he doesn't need to be saved at all......
Oh no, wait, his situation looks a little bad.
It was as if he was entangled in golden cobwebs, yellow light flashed through his body, his body twisted and struggled unnaturally, and his throat let out a miserable scream.
I immediately swam over, and as soon as I touched him, my whole body was violently numb and trembling, and my nerves were paralyzed, and it took me a while to regain my original state. It turned out that the yellow light was an electric current that was releasing electricity, and it was hurting him under the conductive effect of water.
"Shame, Hell!" He frantically swung the fishtail, his paws clawing wildly, trying to shake off the electricity from his body, but unfortunately, to no avail. He reached out to me for help, but seemed afraid of sending the telegram to me, and withdrew his hand with a trembling hand.
Of course, I couldn't have watched him get hurt, and despite the terrible feeling of being electrocuted, I endured the pain and numbness and took him back to the beach.
"God, what's going on?" March rushed over and asked.
The electricity that is injected into my body is not very large, but damn it can paralyze my body for a while. After I recovered, I used the flame to dry my soaked clothes, shook my head, and said, "Don't worry, he's just a wound open."
I put an end to this topic.
While in the sea, I saw a string of electricity behind the mermaid, as if there was an invisible grid there, preventing him from taking another step. I guess he touched that grid, which is why he had the accident.
But this is just my conjecture, and I don't want March to worry until there is hard evidence.
The merfolk soon regained their lively appearance, flapped the tail of the fish and bounced, made a defiant cry into the water, and then crawled up to me, rubbed my palm intimately, and seemed to thank me for saving him. In return, he stretched his neck and slid his Adam's apple up and down, spat out a few fish from his mouth, pointed at the fish with his wet webbed paws, and then pointed at my stomach: "Eat a wow."
"......" I looked at the pile of fish covered in saliva and unknown goo, inviting me to enjoy the ...... Well, food that looks "delicious"? So he went into the sea just to catch fish? Oh well, even though March has made a disgusting retching sound in protest, it at least fills the stomach, doesn't it?
I endured the nausea and threw the fish into the sea, rinsed it several times, scraped off the scales and gutted it, and roasted it on the fire.
In the meantime, the mermaid went down to the sea to catch a few more fish for his dinner, but perhaps the smell of barbecue attracted him, so he threw away the raw fish, leaned over to the grilled fish, moved his nose and sniffed, and reached out to catch them.
I slapped away his restless webbed paws: "It's not ripe, I'll give it to you when it's done." ”
He had probably never seen food handled in such a way, and his eyes widened in curiosity, and he stared with a slight flick of his tail.
A few minutes later, I gave the grilled fish to the mermaid, and as soon as I looked away, I heard a rattling sound and looked back to see that most of the grilled fish had gone into the mermaid's mouth, and only one fish-tailed wolf hung out of his mouth.
Look at his funny appearance, his mouth bulging like a ball, perhaps because he saw me looking at him, he grinned the corners of his mouth, proudly showed his sharp teeth like knives, and threw his head back to swallow the tail of the fish, making a louder bite sound than before, and crunching the fish into his belly. After enjoying his meal, the tip of his tongue slid along the tip of his fangs, and he stretched out his five paws and shook it at me: "Five."
It took me a minute to understand what he meant: it only took him five seconds to eat a fish, and his teeth were amazing!
...... "Well, young man...... Oh, eat fast and grow taller.
At the end of the wonderful dinner, March chose a clean place to rest, and the mermaid was eager to approach me, but I centered on myself and drew a ring of fire to prevent him from approaching.
After the mermaid failed to break into the ring of fire, he let out a mournful cry, lay down outside the ring of fire, slapped the golden sand with the tail of the fish, and buried all parts except his face in the sand, he blinked at me, perhaps seeing that I ignored him, he closed his beautiful eyes and fell asleep.
I didn't feel sleepy, maybe to be precise, I didn't dare to fall asleep. Today's qiē was so thrilling for me, I was like a survivor crawling up from hell, with fear, excitement and disbelief, and I was almost afraid that when I woke up, I would find that escaping from the "prison" was just a long and wonderful dream.
Of course, this is only a hypothesis, in fact we have escaped from the control of the Nords, but although we are safe now, it does not mean that there will be no danger in the future, we must do our best to recover from our injuries and return to the island of Cezeya to rescue the people who are about to die.
The bright crescent moon was sinking to the west, and I knew that I could not enjoy the evening sleep happily, so I stepped out of the ring of fire, into the sea, swam to the place where the mermaid was in distress, and threw a branch of the tree upwards, only to see the crackling of electricity in the air, and the inconspicuous golden light.
I repeated the test in several places, and found that there was a current stored in zài, and then dived into the sea to test, and the result was the same.
I can conclude with certainty that there is an invisible power grid ahead, and its scope is very wide, perhaps enclosing the entire island, controlling the sky and the deep sea realm. It's like a domineering dividing line, people on the outside can't get in, and people on the inside can't get out.
So, how did we get into the island if the grid had been stored all the time?
"Kasha!" A nervous scream rang out, and as soon as I turned around, I was startled by a face that suddenly appeared.
It turned out to be the mermaid, his short blue hair was completely soaked, sticking to his cheeks, this terrible appearance, especially like a water ghost in the dark.
"Release, release!" The mermaid looked nervous and swam around me, as if to make sure something was wrong with me.
"I'm fine."
The mermaid looked behind me, her face became very ugly, and she took my hand hard and swam to shore.
I didn't understand what he was worried about, so I followed his gaze and looked behind me......
I couldn't believe my eyes!
