Chapter 4 The Origin of the Fish-Man

The forest was still quiet in the morning, and apart from a few birdsongs from time to time, there was no sign of any animals, let alone people.

After a full hour, Jer stopped helplessly and said to Xia Qi, who was resting on the stump.

"Miss Xia Qi, it seems that our luck is not good. As far as I can see, this island is most likely an abandoned island, with a low probability of being inhabited. ”

"Mr. Gentleman, are we going to leave next?"

Leave?

No.

Jair shook his head, his gaze drifting down the canopy into the distance, and finally stopped on the hill in the far center of the island.

It says it's a mountain, but it's not a spire. It was a strange feeling, and it felt more like a higher dirt slope to Jer.

"There's no hurry to leave, and since I got to the island, I've been very concerned about the dirt mountain in the distance. I always feel that we will gain something from being there. When Miss Xia Qi is rested, let's go and have a look. ”

Xia Qi glanced at the distance, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.

"Without further ado, Mr. Gentleman, let's go."

Jerle looked at Xia Qi's determined gaze, and the words of persuasion came to his lips, and fell silent again.

Once you've decided on your goal, you're moving much faster. The two of them walked straight through the forest, and in a few moments, they came to the vicinity of the dirt mountain.

And at this moment, they finally saw the first creature on the island.

A pig.

No, maybe not pigs. Because this pig actually has the hair of a lion.

Xia Qi rubbed her eyes.

"Mr. Jer, did you see that?"

Jerle nodded solemnly.

"See, Miss Xia Qi. Don't worry, even if the other party is a lion, as a killer, I won't have the slightest fear. ”

"Trust the professional ethics of a killer."

Jerle stood in front of Xia Qi, ready to attack.

Xia Qi pulled the corner of Rajer's clothes, and before he could speak, Jer's eyes were reassuring.

Xia Qi shook her head and smiled bitterly, so she had to step aside.

Well, I just wanted to tell Mr. Jer, that it looks like a pig.

"Hmph."

"The cunning lion actually wants to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? Although your pig hum is extremely well imitated, it is a pity that you misestimated me, I am not a tiger that will be eaten by you! ”

The dragon's teeth were clenched tightly in his hands, and Jerle stared at the lion in front of him. As long as the other party makes a move, Jell is sure that the battle will be resolved in an instant.

"Hiss."

At that moment, a second creature suddenly appeared next to Jer.

"Rabbit?"

As Jair stared at the rabbits swimming past him, he felt more and more that the island was full of strangeness, and for some reason, this strangeness was still somewhat familiar.

In the silent memory of more than 800 years of old Jer, there seems to be some of them ready to move.

"Mr. Gentleman, this... It's supposed to be a snake... Right? ”

Xia Qi looked at the mollusk in front of her uncertainly, although it looked like a snake, but it had a pair of rabbit ears.

It's fluffy and cute.

Jerle shook his head and said.

"Miss Xia Qi, don't be fooled by their appearance, I think this lion and this rabbit are very likely to be in the same group."

Well, whatever you say is what it is.

Xia Qi complained in her heart, but she no longer argued.

I didn't expect this gentleman to be unexpectedly cute.

Xia Qi bent the corners of her mouth, and before her smile could bloom, she stiffened on her face.

In her gaze, the animals in the forest seemed to have gathered at this moment.

A tiger with an elephant's trunk.

A monkey with a neck like a giraffe.

A dog with a cockscomb on its head.

Xia Qi covered her mouth, and before she could express her surprise, Jer's eager advice came from her ears.

"Miss Xia Qi, you stay here first, I need to confirm it in a hurry. Don't worry, these guys are harmless. ”

As he spoke, Jair ran towards Tushan, and when he finished speaking, the whole figure had disappeared at the end of the road, leaving Xia Qi to stay where he was, at a loss.

At the top of the dirt hill in the middle of the strange island, Jer was looking at the treasure chests scattered in front of him with complicated eyes.

"Mr. Gentleman, next time you do this kind of thing, leave the lady and run away alone. Well, my impression of you is going to be greatly reduced. ”

Xia Qi clapped her hands, looked back at the bottom of the can't see the bottom, and was a little afraid.

I'm not this monster, I really don't know why my brain is hot, and I suddenly run over with the fire.

"Mr. Jer?"

"What are you looking at? What's so nice about these boxes. ”

Seeing that Jerje ignored himself, Xia Qi pursed her lips, a little annoyed.

I was worried that he ran over regardless of his safety, but this wood was good, staring at a few broken boxes, and even ignoring himself.

I'm going to see what's in the box.

"Be careful! Don't touch it! ”

Jer's voice was still a step slower, Xia Qi had already opened the first box, and then, like a chain reaction, all the boxes took the initiative to open.

A faint musty smell followed, and the forest wind blew, and all the papers in the box that I didn't know what was written turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

Xia Qi was stunned, only then did she realize that she seemed to have done something wrong unintentionally.

"Mr. Jer, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Jerle sighed, he had roughly guessed where this was, but he couldn't make up his mind to confirm it for a moment.

Now that the data is destroyed, it may be the best outcome.

"Forget it, Miss Xia Qi, it's not your fault."

This is the first time Xia Qi has seen Jer's stunned appearance, and the reason is still on her, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

"Mr. Jer, if you may, can you tell me the story here?"

Jerry turned to stare at Xia Qi, who stared at him without fear. It was a long time before Jer's sigh came again.

"Miss Xia Qi, I don't know if you have heard of the blank 100-year history."

"Ahh Are you saying that the information that disappeared just now records the history of those 100 years? ”

"Oh my God! What the hell did I do, if those historians knew about it, I would be killed! ”

Xia Qi's heart was shocked, she never thought that the complexity of this matter was far beyond her imagination. What she didn't expect was that in such a small place as the East China Sea, there were hidden paper materials related to that hundred years of history.

Jerle shook his head and said.

"No, Miss Xia Qi. These pieces of paper do not record the history that took place in the past 100 years, but the research materials that researchers in a certain country have treasured during those 100 years. ”

"Research materials? Research what... Yes! Could it be! ”

"Yes, Miss Xia Qi, I think you've already guessed it. The strange animals we saw earlier were the offspring of those who had been propagated by the results of their research. And what is recorded in those materials is one of the greatest studies in the world - biological genetic engineering! ”

Jerle crouched down and gently touched the box, as if the materials were still there.

"By the way, Miss Xia Qi, you should know about the fish-people, right?"

"Ah, I know."

Xia Qi replied in a daze, not quite understanding why Jer's words were good, but suddenly talked about the fish man.

Could it be that the fish-people could still be the race created in the past 100 years? How is this possible?

As if he had seen through Xia Qi's thoughts, Jerry smiled slightly.

"Miss Xia Qi, congratulations on your guess again."

"The fish-people you see today are one of the beneficiaries of the original biological genes, a race created to adapt to the land and the sea. And it was the mermaid family that provided the genes for the birth of the fish-man at the beginning. ”

"So, to this day, it doesn't matter if the descendants of the inhabitants of Fish-Man Island are fish-people or mermaids. The royal family, as the ruler of Fish-Man Island, is still pure mermaid blood. ”
