I was stunned, and looked down again, they only had long snake-like tails, but not fish tails, tall and flat bodies, and they didn't look like real humans, and those obvious bone spurs, if they were covered with skin and flesh, they would definitely be far from humans.

I have the impression that the merman should be a woman with a beautiful fish tail, but these skeletons are thick and strong, much stronger than me, I am a little disappointed, my long-term cognition has been subverted, and I can't say the sense of loss.

"Is there really a shark in the world?" I muttered.

My voice was very small, but it was still heard by Ah Chuan, and he immediately let out a sneer: "I have seen the merman oil, and even the merman bones have been seen, what else is there to doubt?" ”

I still can't believe it, I'd rather believe in the beautiful creatures in my memory than admit that these skeletons in front of me are the real sharks, but they are real, right in front of my eyes.

Ah Chuan pulled the long sword out of the water, and the scattered pale green light points slowly gathered on the bones, in fact, these bones are really beautiful, although they are not as soft as imagined, but they are as clear as the best white jade, and they look like they are priceless, exquisite, this is a work of art that belongs to nature.

I also turned on the flashlight, and when the flashlight went down, they all seemed to become translucent, and this texture really made people want to touch it, and I could even imagine the feeling of touching it, which was cold and smooth, and delicate to the bone.

"Do you want it?" Ah Chuan's voice sounded in his ears.

I couldn't take my eyes off it, nodded stunnedly, and heard Ah Chuan laugh: "The master also wants it, if only it were a little smaller." ”

As he spoke, he directly put his hand into the water, and the ripples spread out in circles, blocking my vision, and I watched him stretch out his hand to the mermaid bones, and subconsciously wanted to stop it, but I felt that it was inappropriate, and I didn't stretch out my hand.

Those pale green points of light spread out with his movements again, I still couldn't see what it was, the water was very shallow, Ah Chuan's hand easily touched it, I saw him caressing slowly, the movements were extremely light and soft, with a surprise and love in his eyes that could not be hidden.

I really don't have his courage, even if I like it very much, I don't dare to stretch out my hand, I can only watch him touch in a daze, but Achuan's hand stopped, he suddenly turned his head and smiled at me, before I could react, I saw him grab two finger bones, and his hand slammed it off.

"Hey ......"

I couldn't help but scream, but it was too late, he had already pinched two phalanges and retracted his hand, and naturally stood up and handed me one of them.

I didn't answer, somehow a little angry, I turned my head to look at the remains, it was no longer complete, two finger bones were missing, like a work of art that had been maliciously destroyed, and could no longer be repaired.

"How can you do that?"

I looked at Ah Chuan, like a fish in my throat, a thousand words in my heart, and I could only say this sentence.

But he looked calm: "What is this, don't you really want it?" ”

"You ......," I felt I really couldn't understand, and turned my back to look at him again, "I don't want to." ”

"Heh, don't forget it." Agawa chuckled, and I heard him unzip and tuck them into his pocket.

"If you want to take it, no matter how big the obstacle is, you can't stop it, people, you should live a real life, you look like a hypocrite with suppressed desires." Ah Chuan leaned into my ear, said a word in a very low voice, and after speaking, he withdrew half a meter and looked at me with a smile.

I looked at him in amazement, although I had long known that he was indifferent and ruthless in his bones, but I didn't expect him to say such things, he said so, and he did this, as if he was specially made to show me, I had long known that he was this kind of person, but I still felt terrible to hear such words come out of his mouth.

This person has always been unstoppable until he reaches his goal, if it weren't for the restraint of the Mo family, with his talent and learning, he would definitely become a must-have, no, I feel that he is more likely to become a villain, just like the kind in American movies, with both knowledge, wealth, and unique personality charm, obviously a villain, but just as admirable.

I shuddered, took a few steps back and stayed away from him, whether he was good or bad, he was the kind of person who could only be looked at by me, our personalities and thoughts were too far apart, and we could never go down the same road.

Ah Chuan looked at me and smiled, his smile was full of relief, I was inexplicable, I don't know why he showed this expression, as if everything just now was testing me, he came over and patted me on the shoulder, leaned into Nineteen's ear and didn't know what to say.

I looked at Nineteen, and he smiled, like Achuan, but he didn't say anything, and I couldn't understand them anymore.

I looked at the lake again, but I didn't look at my feet, I didn't want to see the mutilated skeleton, the work of art should be perfect and exquisite, and without any of it, it couldn't be considered a work of art.

I know it's not a big deal, there are thousands of bones here, even if one is mutilated, it's nothing, maybe I'm a perfectionist in my bones, if it's inherently mutilated, I won't feel bad, what makes me uncomfortable is active destruction.

I'm the kind of person who follows the rules, and it can also be said to be rigid, in fact, don't say it's Ah Chuan just now, even if Lao Huang sees it, he will probably reach out and take it without hesitation, I'm different from them, and I feel like I'm too pretentious when I think about it.

The lake was illuminated by pale green fluorescence, and even without a flashlight, I could see the road under my feet, and where the flashlight swept by, the fluorescence dimmed, revealing jade-white bones, and I saw a strange light shining in the cracks of the piles of bones, like a lot of mirror fragments, shining with different brilliance with the change of angle.

What's underneath this?

I crouched down and shone my flashlight at the nearest one, there was something reflective in the cracks of the bones, I almost had to put my face on the water, and I couldn't see what it was, they seemed to be some transparent powder, sticking to the bones, making them shine even more.

Brother Shen walked forward along the stone road, into the lake, Nineteen reached out and patted me, I also stood up and walked forward, we really felt like walking into a dream, if only these were not bones, but real jade.

I can't imagine what it would be like when it was filled with seawater, the bones seemed to be heavy, they didn't look like they would float, they would glow green, but they could be in the water and in the air, and they were not much different from what they are now.

The stone path leads to the other side of the lake, and halfway through to the opposite side of the lake, there is an exit on the opposite side, which is both natural and artificial, and even if the mermaids really existed, they would not die here en masse, they were killed.

Once again, I remembered the merman oil in the alchemy cave, how much oil can a merman produce, this is actually hell, every skeleton was once a life, they were killed, skinned, refined, and finally the bones were deposited here, they were actually sacrificed just like those martyrs.

I'm numb enough to condemn the people who commit murder, seeing too much death can make people become indifferent to life, whether it's someone else's or my own, I'm sure that the person who did all this is already dead, and there is nothing in the world that really makes people immortal.

Brother Shen didn't walk fast, their footsteps were very soft, and I also subconsciously lightened my steps, the sound of the water around me was not small, and even the never-ending regular "bang" sound was muffled.

There was not a single fluorescence in the exit ahead, like two worlds separated by barriers, Brother Shen walked to the exit and stopped, I saw that there was a cave in front of me that was three or four times larger than here.

It's too big, it's too majestic, and there's standing water below, but it's much deeper than outside, at least a dozen meters, but there's nothing in the water, and I can't see it from a distance, I smell a bad smell, and I can't find its source, the smell fills the whole hole, it's not the smell of seawater, it's the smell of some kind of sea life.

This place is large and empty, the top of the cave is very high, at least dozens of meters, not far from our feet, there is a nearly circular stone road nearly one meter wide, extending into the lake about ten meters, and suddenly out of the water, winding and circling, in the air nearly two circles, straight to the high place of the cave.

There are hanging stone ridges on the top of the cave, and there are many horizontal stone pillars at the bottom of the cave, but compared to this spiraling ladder, this can never be a natural formation, maybe the entire cave is artificially excavated, I can't imagine how the ancients built such a ladder, there are no steps on it, and the surrounding environment is integrated, and it looks extremely natural.

The design of this ladder is ingenious, the lower part is narrower, and the higher you go, the thicker it becomes, as if it is hanging upside down from the sky, as if the whole cave is upside down, the top is the ground, and the sky is under our feet.

The ladder is coiled around a very thin stone pillar, this stone pillar rises from the center of the lake, the two ends are wide and the middle is thin, very much like the Canton Tower, its height is the same as the ladder, I clearly see that there is a small thing placed above the stone pillar, the color is jet black, simple and heavy, and the whole cave is integrated, as if growing out of the hole.

"Look, what's that?" I asked, pointing at it.

"Sarcophagus." Brother Shen spoke.

I turned my head to look at him in amazement, but he was expressionless, at least I couldn't tell what it was, but he said it so accurately.

"How do you know......" My voice lowered as if he had been here.

"I just know."

His voice still couldn't hear the emotion, it really didn't look like it would come out of his mouth, I opened my mouth and couldn't speak, he blocked all my questions back, as if on purpose, he knew that I still wanted to ask more, so he shut me up in an almost rude way, and I suddenly felt that he was really a stranger.
