Early the next morning, Mi Zixuan was woken up by the footsteps and conversations of the mermaids, and he yawned and pushed Arabella who was lying beside him, "Why is it so noisy outside?" ”

Arabella rubbed her eyes and said sleepily, "Today's Sago Dew Festival." ”

Mi Zixuan immediately sobered up, Simi Lu is the language of the fish-man clan, but they can also speak English, Mi Zixuan can't understand how these fish-people can speak English, but now is not the time to think about this, Simili means to reproduce, that is to say, today, including Celia, the mating season of the fish-people has arrived, this festival means the advent of new life, but also means the arrival of death, the reason why the fish-people are scarce is because of the backward civilization on the one hand, on the other hand, their body structure is special, The mortality rate of newborns is extremely high, and male mermaids die in a very short period of time because of physical defects after mating, and female mermaids rarely live for three years after giving birth to baby mermaids, and old mermaids are a special case.

At the beginning of the Simi Dew Festival, it also means that Celia's life has entered the countdown, Mi Zixuan didn't dare to think about Celia's appearance when she died, he really wanted to save this lovely mermaid princess, and other simple and simple mermaids, but now he has no choice, without Luo Luo's support from the laboratory, Mi Zixuan has become very powerless.

Arabella saw Mi Zixuan's loss, hugged him behind him and said softly, "What's wrong?" Speaking of this, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the beard that had become a little long on Mi Zixuan's jaw, where Mi Zixuan didn't have any shaving tools at all, so he could only let the beard grow naturally, but Mi Zixuan with a beard looked more manly, and Arabella liked his bearded appearance very much.

Mi Zixuan sighed and said, "It's nothing, let's go to the Simi Lu Festival." "Mi Zixuan knows that he is powerless to stop the Simi Dew Festival, this is a necessary means for the mermaid clan to reproduce, in order for the mermaid clan to continue, the merfolk have long been ready to sacrifice themselves.

After a while, Mi Zixuan and Arabella came out of the room, and followed the mermaids with divine expressions in the direction of the temple, so long time has passed, and the fish people have cleared out the temple that was flooded by rocks and mud, but the gate is still closed, Mi Zixuan has never entered, and today is the first time he has followed the fish people in.

Looking at the mermaids with a look of future and sacred color around them, Mi Zixuan felt very uncomfortable, in fact, the mermaids knew very well that reproduction meant death for them, and it meant that their friends would leave them completely, but they did not feel afraid, but felt that this was a very sacred and worthwhile thing to do, and they did not hesitate to give their precious lives for the continuation of the race.

Let the race continue, you have to pay a lot of mermaid lives, this price is too great, Mi Zixuan is a little incomprehensible, but he understands them, but he doesn't feel good in his heart, especially when he sees Celia standing in the first row with the most forward look, his heart is both sour and helpless, he can't organize Celia to sacrifice his life, and there is no reason to organize the reproduction and continuation of a race, he can only be a bystander now, sadly watching the lives of the mermaids who have been with him for a period of time begin to enter the countdown.

This temple was bigger and grander, but Mi Zixuan didn't have the heart to go to this magnificent temple at all, he stood behind Celia and watched sadly as this simple and lovely little girl walked towards death step by step.

It's not that the old mermaid is cruel, but if she wants to become the patriarch of the mermaid clan, Celia must go through this hurdle, and only the female mermaid who survives the production of the little mermaid can serve as the patriarch, which is the rule left by the mermaid clan for thousands of years.

The old mermaid slowly walked up to the stone platform surrounded by Mora and a female mermaid, of course, jumping up and down, and of course it looked very funny, but at this time, Mi Zixuan couldn't laugh.

The old man wore a very strange dress today, this dress was sewn from many different kinds of shells, and it made a "sparse" sound when it walked, Mi Zixuan could see that the years of this dress were definitely not short, and the shells on the clothes became black and red.

The old mermaid also wore a strange headdress made of shells on the top of its head, the shells were also black and red, and the old mermaid's face was not known whether it was made of animal blood or fish blood, in short, there were three red marks on each cheek on the wrinkled face, and a blue mark on the forehead.

This outfit is obviously worn during the Simi Lou Festival, when the old mermaid looks like a witch in the movie, but her whole body is filled with this sacred aura.

As soon as the old mermaid came up to the altar, all the mermaids standing below made a "Ula" sound, which was a little scary, and the eardrums of Mi Zixuan and Arabella buzzed.

The old mermaid looked down at his people, stepped forward and said, "Are you ready to return to the embrace of the great sea god, people of the god clan?" ”

The meaning of the old mermaid is obvious, this mating, most of the mermaids who are selected will not live, they will die, and death is to return to the arms of the sea god for the mermaid clan.

Once again, all the merfolk shouted in unison, "We are ready to return to the arms of the great god of the sea at any time." ”

The old man nodded with a desolate face, and looked at Celia with an excited expression with pity, she slowly closed her eyes, and shouted hoarsely with some effort: "Open the Simi Dew Divine Stone." ”

Speaking of this, the old mermaid took a few steps back, revealing a round black stone behind him, more than a dozen strong male mermaids came over and squatted down, holding the lower edge of the stone, and making a "hey" sound in his mouth, the black boulder with a diameter of about ten meters was lifted by them and slowly moved left and right, as the boulder moved, Mi Zixuan heard the sound of the waves crashing on the rock, which made Mi Zixuan stunned, what is the situation?

After a while, the black boulder called the Simi Dew Stone by the old mermaid was moved to the side by the fish, revealing a black hole, and the sound of waves crashing on the rocks was heard inside, and there was also a fishy smell unique to the sea.

The old manfish stood aside and looked at the dark hole without speaking, as if waiting for something, and the other fish people also stood solemnly waiting for something.

After about five or six minutes, Mi Zixuan felt as if something was swimming quickly in the water, making some very strange sounds, and at this moment, a tall black shadow jumped out of the dark hole, bringing up a layer of sea water and splashing on the surrounding fishmen, but none of the fishmen moved.

Mi Zixuan looked up in surprise and found that a mermaid with a height of more than two meters appeared next to the old mermaid, this is a male mermaid, he looks the same old, but his bulging muscles tell everyone that although he is old, he still has terrifying strength.

The old man's face was solemn and said, "Ambrose, you're late." ”

The tall, strong male mermaid named Ambrose laughed and said, "Old lady Matsu, I encountered some trouble on the way, and I met a few sharks that didn't open their eyes......" Speaking of this, a "bang" sound sounded, and a great white shark covered with terrifying wounds and a length of seven or eight meters was still from the hole by something.

Ambrose looked at the old mermaid, looked at the mermaid standing below with contempt, and said very arrogantly: "This is a gift from our great Newles tribe, such a big shark, you skinny guys can't catch it." ”

When Ambrose said this, he suddenly saw Celia, and immediately laughed, "Old lady Matsu, are you finally willing to let your precious granddaughter participate in the Simi Lou Festival this year?" ”

An angry look immediately appeared on the old mermaid's face.

And Mi Zixuan and Arabella were full of shock, they thought that the mermaid was Celia, but they never expected that there was also a mermaid tribe.

Ambrose's arrogant Mandarin immediately made the faces of the male mermaids present look angry, but no one spoke, and soon lowered his head in humiliation.

Because Ambrose was right, such a large shark was not something they could handle, and only the merfolk of the Newles tribe could hunt it.

The old mermaid didn't speak with a painful look on his face, and Ambrose smiled coldly and said loudly, "Barney, what are you waiting for?" Don't roll up yet. ”

As soon as Ambrose's words fell, dozens of mermaids immediately popped out of the dark hole, these mermaids were male and female, but they all had one thing in common, that is, they were tall and strong, and their appearance was very ugly.

One of the tallest male mermaids, Barney, had his eyes lit up when he saw Celia, and he pointed at Celia and said, "I want her." ”

The pious and sacred look on Celia's face when she saw Barney and these mermaids was long gone, replaced by horror, Mi Zixuan didn't know the mating process of mermaids, but Celia, who was a mermaid, knew very well that once mating began, she would probably be killed by Barney in the process of mating before she gave birth to a small fishman.

Except for Mi Zixuan, in fact, all the mermaids know very well that the mating process is very dangerous, once the mating begins, the mermaids of the News tribe will be in a state of madness regardless of male and female, they will be crazy to torture their mates, and it would be good if the number of mermaids who can survive can be half.

But the merfolk still did not back down, they knew their mission, and they did not hesitate to give their lives for the continuation of the race.

As soon as the old mermaid saw Barney's crazy look, she knew that if he chose Celia, Celia would be tortured and killed by him in the process of mating, and she immediately exclaimed, "Barney obeys the rules set by the great sea god. ”

Barney pouted disdainfully, "Rules? Does that damn rule still make any sense? I said Celia is mine, that's mine. Speaking of this, he glared angrily at the mermaid chosen by Celia's side and said loudly, "Which of you dares to rob me?" ”
