5. Mermaid in the basement

For two months, Li Hao only found 48 points of orange energy.

Gritting his teeth and using 10 points of orange energy to change his appearance, Li Hao only had 38 points of energy left. In reality, the improvement of strength is too slow, and Li Hao decided to go first and then talk about it.

Click to enter the dungeon, and two icons suddenly appeared.

"The Black Knight", "The Mermaid in the Basement".

"Huh? One more? Marvel still has "The Mermaid in the Basement"? Li Hao clicked on the introduction of "The Mermaid in the Basement".

The mermaid, a legendary and wonderful creature.

But in "The Mermaid in the Basement", it has become an amphibious horror monster.

It's a half-finished product like "Black Knight", only drafts, and a low-latitude copy world that doesn't even have comics.

38 points of energy is enough for Li Hao to stay in "Black Knight" for three or four days. But to use the Black Knight Training Paper, it will take at least a month, and at most three or four days to complete the main quest and increase Ellie's favorability.

In view of the unknown reward, Li Hao is ready to go to "The Mermaid in the Basement" to see if he can get new harvests.

Spend 3 energy, and the plot introduction goes through quickly.

Very ordinary plot, the protagonist George is a fishing enthusiast, and while fishing in the early morning, he stumbled upon the mermaid Silla. Sira has her tail fin cut by a fishing boat in the lake and is wary and hostile to humans.

George is kind enough to treat Sila, and the early mutant falls in love with George. Seeing George having fun with his family, he suddenly had a bad idea and killed George's wife and children just to occupy George.

After that, of course, it was George who took revenge and killed Sila. At this point, the story should basically be over. But before she died, Sira stole George and his wife, fertilized herself, and gave birth to a large group of mermaid monsters.

Half a year later, the group of merfolk monsters attacked the town, causing boundless slaughter

Seeing this, Li Hao nodded. This "Mermaid in the Basement" should be Marvel's early depiction of mutants. In Marvel, accepting mutants and coexisting peacefully with mutants is the main idea in most comics.

After pondering for a long time, Li Hao decided to go to "The Mermaid in the Basement" to have a look, compared to "Black Knight", which can't see the results in the short term, there may be some surprises here.

Click to enter, and Li Hao suddenly disappeared in place.

"Ding! The main quest is released to prevent the mermaid eggs from hatching. ”

"Ding! Side quests are released to protect George's family. ”

"Ding! Optional quests to discover the secrets of merfolk mutations. ”

The first two tasks are okay, but the third task can't help but make Li Hao's eyes light up: "There is a door!" ”

In the glittering morning light, a log boat paddled on the water, gradually approaching.

Moments later, the boat docked. A tall middle-aged man fastened a rope with his hands and feet to secure his beloved boat.

It wasn't until he stood up straight that a tough western face was revealed. The three-dimensional facial features of a mature man make people feel a sense of security at a glance. The muscles that have been exercised for a long time make him look strong and tall.

George looked around cautiously for a moment, then returned to the boat and dragged a swarthy object ashore.

Poured some water to keep the mermaid's body moist. George drove the car a few meters away and lightly placed the mermaid on the car.

Moments later, the car started up, leaving a trail of water.

George walked for a while, and a thin young man slowly walked out from behind a tree in the distance, it was Li Hao.

Glancing at the departing mermaid and George from afar, Li Hao's eyes couldn't help but fall on this freshwater lake.

Next to the rudimentary wooden pier, a few tattered black tires were tied to thick hemp rope. There were a few local fishing boats strapped to the bolts, and a wooden boat with a broken bottom was stranded on the shore, covered in moss and mushrooms, and looked very old.

The surface of the lake was very calm, and after approaching the lake, Li Hao found that an unusual chill rose from the surface of the lake. …

After standing by the lake for a while, Li Hao frowned and left.

The water is cold and strange, and the third optional quest is estimated to fall here.

Li Hao's water is not good, and he can only be carefully explored by getting some diving tools.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Hao walked in the direction where George left. After less than an hour of walking on the trail, an American rustic town appeared in front of you.

The canopy is tall and lush, the streets are clean and tidy, and you can even see some wildlife wandering around the garbage dumps.

Double-storey villa, private garage, snow-white wooden fence separated by green lawn. The style is similar, giving people a sense of homely warmth.

After a cursory look at the environment, Li Hao began to worry about how to approach George's family.

He was sitting in a chair and groaning, but a group of hippies with disheveled hair quickly drove on the asphalt road.

"Yo! What a bumper harvest today!! ”

"Hey! I'm going to have a good time this time! ”

The roaring sound of motorcycles made the voices of these young people seem a little unscrupulous. The tattoos and black leather clothes, coupled with the arrogant and domineering eyes, made many townspeople dare not look at it.

A little girl playing on the side of the road may have been frightened by the other party's menacing driving skills and actually forgot to dodge.

"Be careful!" A young man quickly picked up the little girl and was almost hit by a motorcycle that drove by screaming madly.

"Squeak~!" The tires rubbed against the ground, making a screeching sound.

"Damn it! You don't want to live anymore?!! ”

The leading hippie shook the nail on his lips and scolded with round eyes.

"How do you ride? Didn't you see her freaked?! ”

Pimples, and a few small freckles on the bridge of the nose. But on that somewhat green young face, there is an awe-inspiring righteousness that people can't ignore.

Li Hao stood not far away and watched, his eyes gradually narrowing.

This stunned young man is George's son Mark Jr., who likes sports and sports stars, and has the tiger energy to support justice in his heart.

"Hehe, it seems that this kid is not convinced!" The leading pair of leopards had a joke in their eyes, turned over and got out of the car and blocked in front of little Mark.

The other party is tall and big, and his eyes are fierce. Little Mark is just a freshman in high school, and even if he has justice in his heart, he is a little frightened.

The hippie next to him shouted and coaxed the leader to give the hairy boy a "social etiquette lesson".

Little Mark is also a bull temper, and he refuses to back down with his neck: "Don't think it's great to bully the weak, you have the ability to bully people who are stronger than you!" ”

Little Mark's words stabbed the hearts of these hippies, who were just relying on the large number of people and the bullying with guns.

"Little cub! I think you're looking for death!! When the hippie leader heard this, he immediately became angry, and swung his iron fist the size of a sand bowl and smashed it at Little Mark.

Little Mark pounced without giving in, and fought hard to get a punch, but he also wanted to give the other party a hard blow.

"Stop! You bunch of **!! ”

Li Hao, who was awe-inspiring and upright, appeared on the stage, glared at the hippie, and also threw his fist at the leader. The result can be imagined, a group of big men against two teenagers
