643 Starry Sky Hunt 19
She patiently watched it perform.
The little thing jumped on the spot twice, and on the basis of the gray black, four long strips stretched out strangely.
Up, down, left and right, all four directions are moving.
Especially the left and right, which are more and more similar to people's arms, and they are still overlapping each other, and they are "arching their hands" vigorously.
"Uh, it's here, begging for mercy?" Mary guessed.
"Probably...... It's getting more and more like a human, and I don't know if I'll be able to talk later. ”
Lan Shuying replied with a smile, but a cold light slipped under her eyes.
The thing extends into four limbs, corresponding to a head, arms, and a long tail.
This image should correspond to a mermaid in a fairy tale.
The upper part is the human body, and the bottom part of the fish tail is just the right proportion to the human body.
But she didn't think there was anything beautiful about it.
The skin is gray, as if it has been coated with a metal film. Flat chest, and this ugly face with fish gills...... Hmm, male?
Tick!
A white ball rolled to her feet.
Lan Shuying analyzed the structure and composition of the beads.
It's a pearl that falls out of its eye socket.
Scared to cry?
Wrong.
Combined with its body language, Lan Shuying felt that it was expressing the meaning of breaking the bank and buying your life - these are all for you, don't kill me.
Tick, tick, tick.
Because she didn't answer in time, it was even more frightened.
Lan Shuying looked at the more and more pearls around her, and she couldn't laugh or cry.
"Master, this should be a merman, right?"
Milk Candy looked curiously at the ugly little fish-man.
It had never seen such a creature in the planes it had been to before.
Only once the closest one was the mermaid princess in the holographic game, but Ariel is much better looking than it.
"Hee-hee, let me talk to it~~"
Milk Candy took the initiative to ask for it, Lan Shuying thought about it and agreed.
The main thing is that this warehouse is full of the smell of dead fish, and she can't stay any longer, so she grabs Mary and Red Lotus, turns around and leaves.
The two foodies who seemed to be descendants of the Titans had just woken up and were a little dazed - in their lacklustre minds, there was a basic understanding: this red-haired girl would give them delicious food.
Then, don't say anything, just run along.
Boom, footsteps far away.
……
ventilation system, start.
Choose another fragrance that smells fresh and good, and put it on.
Moments later, the two women lay on their backs on the comfortable sofa and took a long sip of iced coconut water in satisfaction.
"Hoo ......"
Raise a glass and celebrate their successful escape from the "seafood market"!
After a while, Milk Candy came back to report the news.
First, he chewed on the words for a while, and talked about the records in the Sou Shen Ji to show that he had recently used his skills to read:
"Outside the South China Sea, there are mermaids, who live in water like fish, and do not waste their weaving achievements. His eyes weep and they can produce pearls. ”
What a strange thing...... It's really not a shark from the South China Sea.
Not exactly.
This thing is a mutant variety.
The cause is that the environment has become bad.
Even the former food chain overlords of that abandoned planet, humans, as the species best at adapting and modifying their environment, have had to look to outer space for new developments.
So, what about the species they left behind?
If you don't adapt to the environment and mutate, you will definitely not be able to live now.
That's what this weird merman is.
"Can you understand it?" Lan Shuying asked casually.
"Yes, brainwaves! You should be able to do the same, no need to speak. Milk Candy winked innocently.
Seeing that her face was not too good, Milk Candy hurriedly added: "Ahem, but it stinks too much, the owner must have left because he didn't want to be smoked!" ”
It's not that I didn't think of using brainwaves to communicate!
It thought it would be better to emphasize this, but the owner's face turned out to be even more unsightly.
Woo......
The merman has a low IQ, and is fooled by the toffee, and accidentally reveals one thing: its ability to resemble "spatial teleportation" can only be used once a day.
The rest of the supervision is less strict.
After all, this is a creature close to water, and if it is always roasted like a red lotus, it will die of dehydration sooner or later.
Sharks emit a foul odor when they are injured.
But the pearls it cried out didn't smell at all, but had a faint lotus fragrance.
All the pearls were collected by Mary, packed in glass bottles, and a bouquet of fake flowers was inserted for interior decoration.
The prisoner was locked in a polymer hood next door, pitifully waiting to be interrogated.
Lan Shuying nestled in the sofa and communicated with it with her divine thoughts.
"Name?"
“¥*&¥#!”
“……”
I don't want to know more about the naming of the merman.
Skip to the next question.
"Why did you get into my ship?"
"Ancestor, ancestor was snatched away by you!"
"What is Zu?"
"Fragrant, long, very bright!"
Lan Shuying pondered for a moment, took out something from the space storage, walked to the merman, and asked tentatively, "That's what you said?" ”
The merman immediately became excited.
That's a bit embarrassing......
snatched back all the ancestors.
Actually, Amy has more there.
Here, she took one as a souvenir because she thought it was interesting.
This is the everlasting lamp in the burial chamber, with a copper base, a wick soaked in the lotus, and a pool of grease.
There is a cruel legend that the merman oil is used as fuel to light the lamp, and it will not be extinguished for ten thousand years.
Perhaps, such a little bit in her hand is more than one innocent creature that has been killed.
Thinking about it like this, Lan Shuying felt a little uncomfortable.
Tomb robbing is not a glorious thing.
But the people of the interstellar age are not ashamed of this kind of thing, but proud of it.
And because this operation was invested by the Kailatik family, so, together with Amy, snatched the treasure in the mausoleum, Lan Shuying's psychological burden was very small.
Until I met this merman.
I know from the merman that in fact, the reason why the lanterns can last forever is not entirely because of the use of merman oil, and they usually need special maintenance.
The mermaids here are the commissioners who are responsible for maintaining the lamp oil.
The Tomb Keepers have a special way to control them, allowing the mermaids to go down regularly to check on the lamp oil.
It seems that this race is not afraid of the poison gas below.
The reason why it was able to run out is, in Lan Shuying's opinion, actually due to the "credit" of the Kailatic family.
The merman is the equivalent of a slave kept in captivity by a grave keeper.
After the expedition arrived, the mausoleum was to be mined and the grave keepers were to protect it.
Conflict is bound to erupt between the two sides.
The grave keepers have been holding on to this abandoned planet for a long time, and the weapons in their hands are no different from scrap copper and rotten iron, and they will definitely not be able to stop the invaders of the interstellar age.
When the grave keepers are dead and wounded, the mermaids usher in freedom.
This mutant merman followed the scent of the ever-bright lantern.
It and other members of its clan sneaked into Amy's ship.
In addition, this merman also saw some things and took the initiative to confess.
"You mean, a grave keeper followed suit?" Lan Shuying repeated in disbelief.
