For a moment, we were caught in a dilemma, and there were only two paths in front of us, and it seemed that there was only one way. If there is no way forward, then the only thing left is to leave. But I know very well the character of Zhou Xuanye and the others, and I won't give up halfway at all, perhaps, I should find a way to persuade them, I can't burden the three of them in vain.

At this time, Tan Jian also took off his coat, looked down at the watch on his wrist, and said, "At one o'clock in the morning, set up camp, dry your clothes first, and wait for the rest to wait for dawn." ”

Zhou Xuanye said: "Since she is unwilling to show her face, we can only block it with soldiers, and the water will cover it." I wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Zhou Xuanye, but he knew me quite well, and said, "Looking at your expression just now, I know what you want to say." Swallow the words in your stomach, things are not so tricky, it is dark now, my situation is very passive, wait for tomorrow dawn, maybe you can find a turnaround, don't give up in a hurry. ”

Immediately afterwards, he motioned for me to set up camp.

I could only swallow the unspoken words back into my stomach, set up the tent, Tang Linlin slept, and the three of us men took turns keeping vigil. Out of shame, I only asked to keep the second shift, and the middle shift was the most difficult to keep, which consumed more energy.

After sleeping for an hour and a half, Zhou Xuanye woke me up to change shifts, there was no fire here, sitting outside the tent, it was still quite cold, looking at the night around me, I couldn't help but think, that mysterious woman, is she still peeping at us around at this moment? In the middle of the night, it's time for the iron man to rest, right?

What is the reason why we can't get out of this strange valley?

Ruling out the possibility of ghosts hitting the wall, the whole thing becomes a bit confusing.

I was thinking about it when suddenly there was a slight commotion behind me.

The sound, a little like a pebble thrown into the water, a little like the sound of a fish jumping out of the water, sounded suddenly from behind me in the quiet of the night, and it really startled me. I was shocked to turn around, and I could only see the nearest lake line, the water surface was calm, the water was clear, and the dim halo of the camp lamp reflected the nearby water surface with amber brilliance.

However, the sound of the rushing water did not stand up, and it sounded from time to time, and the sound was a little far away, which should have come from the distance of the lake. I picked up my searchlight and pointed it in the direction of the lake, and I could see the thing that made the sound.

It was a fish, quite large, with only half of its tail exposed, and it seemed to be diving.

The lake is already large, and it's not surprising that there are large fish, but the tail, shape and color of the fish surprised me.

Because most of the fish tails are vertical tails, the tail of this fish is a bit like an ornamental goldfish, polygonal, the tail is very large, and the half of the fish tail that is exposed to the water is inky blue, whether it is color or shape, it is something I have never seen before.

Could it be a new breed? I subconsciously raised my feet and squinted to see more clearly, but the half of the fishtail eventually sank to the bottom and disappeared without a trace.

Just when I thought it was just a small episode, the fishtail actually floated to the surface of the water again, and at the same time, the upper part of the fishtail gradually revealed, the blue and inky scales are very beautiful, the fishtail is rounded, the lines are smooth, not like freshwater fish, but like a marine fish.

As more and more parts of the big fish came out of the water, I couldn't help but hold my breath until it was completely out of the water, and I almost suspected that I was dreaming. Because what came out of the water was a ginseng fishtail.

Suddenly, three words flashed through my mind: mermaid?

Damn, I'm not dreaming, am I?

I reached out and pinched my thigh, the pain making my head clearer. The human body and fish tail thing that came out of the water was not my hallucination, it was real! It was facing away from me at the moment, the skin on its upper body was different from that of a human, with a slightly slippery texture, and there was no hair on its head, only a bare head that resembled a human head, and there were fine scales on it.

It may be a legendary mermaid, but it's definitely not a mermaid.

Legend has it that there are mermaids in the sea, called mermaids, and the body of the Jiaoren is a fishtail, with scales and sharp claws and fangs. The earliest record of the shark people, it is said that it appeared in the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang sent people to the sea to find the art of immortality, the boat sailed on the sea, and encountered the attack of the shark people, almost wiped out, it is said that this thing eats people.

In the West, there are similar legends, but in the West, mermaids are called mermaids, and mermaids are said to lure passing ships with their songs, and then drag people to the bottom of the sea to eat them.

Because the legend of the merman is prevalent in both the East and the West, the modern biological industry believes that the merman should have existed in ancient times, otherwise it is impossible that two civilizations that have not communicated with each other will have similar legends and stories so long ago.

And at this moment, a living merman is in the water!

My first reaction was: Don't sharks live in the sea? It turns out that it can also be used as a freshwater fish?

It is estimated that I have been with Tang Linlin's unreliable woman for a long time, and my own thinking has become a little jumpy. At this time, the mermaid in the water swam around the surface of the water and turned his face. Suddenly, I saw the appearance of the merman.

Different from Western romantic legends, this real merman is as ugly as a ghost.

Its entire head and face are densely covered with scales, and its two eyes are large, and the eyes seem to be covered with a membrane, which makes the eyes look a little blue. And it doesn't seem to have a nose, just two small holes, just like Voldemort in the movie.

The bottom mouth is very large, and the lips are just like your fish lips, very small, and when they are closed, they are a slit, and when they are opened, they reveal the sharp teeth inside.

At this moment, the merman was looking at me in the water from a distance of about thirty meters, with his mouth half open, revealing the white teeth inside.

Obviously, this is not a friendly move.

I swallowed and stood there staring at it, in fact, at this moment, my heart was filled with shock and a sense of novelty. The feeling of meeting legendary creatures is exciting and exciting. There is no entertainment in our welfare home, there are only a few computers, and they are office, and they can rarely be used for us, most of them are just reading, and some philanthropists have donated a good library, so I have read a lot of miscellaneous things, but they are useless, after all, when looking for a job outside, the boss only cares about your diploma and professional skills, and will not listen to you talk about the history of the merman.

I once saw some stories about Xianguan, it is said that the mermaid lamps used in the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors were made by hunting mermaids and refining their oil. Mermaids, also known as everlasting lanterns or perennial lanterns, are said to be lit and will not be extinguished for thousands of years.

Of course, I think this is a bit nonsense, although I am not an archaeological and don't know anything about mausoleums, but I also know that mausoleums are buried in the ground. If you are buried in the ground, you will naturally have no air, and if there is no air, can the light be lit?

If the thing in this lake is really the legendary shark man, then where did it come from?

In all legends, the merman was born in the sea, so could the merman in this lake be caught from the sea? I immediately thought of the people of Yumen, who else would make a mermaid in this lake?

Wait a minute...... Could it be that this merman is also a kind of defense against outsiders?

If the mermaids really eat people, then once someone falls into the water, or someone from outside wants to go down and take a bath, wouldn't it...... I shuddered, and my heart said that it was dangerous, but fortunately it was winter. If we come to this place in the summer, get out of the stinky sweat, and see such a clear lake, we will definitely go down for a swim. The people of this feather gate are also too thoughtful.

I didn't think much about it, but I saw that the merman in the water had already swam towards the shore.

It is very fast, and it makes a rattling sound when it swims, and if you don't look at the human head covered with fish scales, its swimming posture is smooth and vigorous, which is actually very ornamental. This mermaid has no breast, and I suspect it should be a male.

When I saw it swimming towards the shore, I immediately stepped back, for I wasn't sure if it would make it ashore. However, at this time, Tan Jian and the others were woken up, how could they miss such a wonderful scene.

Just as I opened my mouth to call someone, the merman suddenly opened his mouth, and his mouth came out with an extremely poignant and sharp sound.

"Ah!!!!h

"Ah!!h

Not to mention how terrifying the sound was, the eardrum seemed to be cut by its sharpness, I covered my ears suddenly, and I knew for the first time that sound can also be used as a weapon to hurt people, because this sudden sharp sound stimulated directly to the human brain, not only was my ears buzzing, but the strength of my whole body was as if it was removed at this moment, my legs were weak, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the speed of my heart beat faster.

There is a martial arts TV series, isn't there a six-fingered magic qin, which can kill people by relying on the sound of the piano, that is, the sound attack.

Sure enough, the source of art and life, the sound attack, is real.

As for the situation of Tan Jian and the others, I don't know, I suddenly received this kind of stimulation in my sleep, and it is estimated that it will be worse than me.
