Chapter 5: Puzzle Clearing
The appearance of the blue light cluster carried a mysterious energy aura.
This aura of dangerous energy made the smaller red-eyed cancers in the underground dark space can't help but let out a "coo-coo" sound, and they instinctively fear the unknown energy, even if this power comes from their patriarch.
"Goo-goo-goo. This seems to belong to the family of red-eyed cancer, similar to the language of the fish-people, with different meanings expressed by the difference in tone.
"Goo!" the big red-eyed giant crab in front of the white fish let out a steady but imposing shout.
With his soothing shout, the crab in the underground space quickly fell into peace.
The transcendent status of the big red-eyed giant crab is fully revealed!
On the other hand, the Whitefishman was unaware of the changes in his surroundings, as the Whitefishman was the target of the Blue Light Cluster.
As the light enveloped his body, the white fishman's eyes were covered in a hazy blue light, and at the same time, his ears buzzed, and he noticed that many strange but quickly familiar characters kept pouring into his mind.
It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that only a moment had passed, and the white fish man was digesting the new language knowledge in his mind, and a majestic voice came into the ears of the white fish man.
"Newborn little one, can you understand me?"
The focus in the white fish man's eyes returned, and his gaze fell back on the big red-eyed giant crab who was speaking.
This is an elder with great power! and full of biological intelligence!
The white fish man has a new understanding of the big crab in front of him.
"Thank you for your gift, Dear Elder Crab. I can already understand your words. The white fish man could feel the breath of the great crab that had gone through the vicissitudes of time, just as the elder could see at a glance that he was a new life.
The red-eyed crab looked approvingly at the little fishman in front of him who had just learned the language of the sea tribe and knew how to use honorifics.
"Don't thank me, little one, it's because you're wise enough that my spell wouldn't have worked against those stupid beasts. Elder Crab's tone was calm, as if what he had just done to the Whitefish Man was not worth mentioning.
"Elder Crab, what shall I call you?" asked the Whitefish Man as he saluted the huge crab in front of him.
"Well, my name is Kai, as you can see, my clan is the Red-Eyed Cancer, and the members call me a prophet, and you can call me a prophet. The Elder Crab introduced himself calmly, and you could feel from his tone that he was treating the white fish people with high wisdom equally.
"Kai Prophet, can I ask you a few questions?"
At this time, in the face of this elder, the white fish man could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart.
"Little one, you ask, you have the breath of nascent life in you, but I can also feel the rich wisdom in you that does not match it, with your wisdom, even if you have just arrived, you are already full of many doubts about this world, right?"
Kai Prophet's large number of crab legs moved, flashing two big red eyes, and put on a comfortable posture closer to the ground, very good-natured waiting for the white fish man to ask.
"What kind of world is this?"
"Why did my people abandon me?"
"What is the reason for the cold smell at night?"
The white fish man had a lot of questions, and after some thoughts, he selected the three most important ones and asked the crab prophet in front of him.
"Well, it looks like you've really just come into this world. Prophet Kai said lightly.
"Your question, I'll answer it for you. ”
"This sudden cold breath is called a cold wave, which is a natural phenomenon of extreme cold that lasts for the whole night after two hundred two-moon nights and two hundred red moon nights, or perhaps it is a punishment from the legendary gods. After each cold spell, there is a cycle, and this cycle is called a year. ”
"Speaking of which, I have some questions, how did you find the cold-proof cave where our red-faced giant crab is hiding?" said Prophet Kai, slightly confused.
"That's ......"
The Whitefishman began to carefully tell the story of what had happened before, from digging a hole in the ground to breaking through the ice lake and inadvertently falling into the underground space, and the Prophet Kai had been listening intently, and when the Whitefishman had finished speaking, he quickly began to answer the next question.
"The second question is why your people abandoned you. Well, in my long years of growing up, I did come into contact with some fish-people. Ordinary fish-people have two divisions, blue-skinned and green-skinned, most of them are brute creatures without much intelligence, but there are also some mutant fish-people with outstanding intelligence, they have the physical strength of adult fish-people when they are born, and the skin is jade white like you, and the body of mutant fish-people will continue to strengthen, and there will be the possibility of evolution before adulthood. And you are one of the mutant fishmen. You were abandoned, probably because your group is too small to have ever had a similar mutated fish-people, so your race thinks you're an outlier. ”
After listening to the reception of the prophet Kai, the whitefish people were convinced that they were indeed in the same group as those blue fish people.
Maybe it's been too long since he broke out of his shell, so the fish-man eggs that conceived themselves were thrown away as waste eggs, and when they broke out of the shell, there were no blue-fish people next to him to see the process, so they were treated as outliers.
Abandoned at the moment when the cold wave was approaching, the originally unprepared White Fish People had absolutely no chance of survival.
Who knows, maybe it was fate, the Whitefish Man met the Crab Prophet and met another turnaround.
It may not be a bad thing that they have abandoned themselves, the Whitefish people thought.
"The third question, well, is a very profound question, and I don't think I can answer it for you right now. "The Prophet Kai is a serious sermon.
"Why?" the white fish man was stunned.
"First of all, this world is divided into land and sea, and the red-eyed Cancer people are naturally afraid of sunlight and cannot appear on land, and although I am not afraid of sunlight after mastering the mysterious magic energy, I have been living in the depths of the ocean because I want to protect my race, and I have not been to land a few times. I don't know much about the other half of the world. Kay explained patiently.
So that's the case, the white fish man nodded in understanding.
"But I can tell you a little bit about my knowledge of the ocean. Prophet Kai changed his words and spoke up.
The Whitefish Man immediately put on a deaf look.
