Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Fish-Man Appears
The source of the waterfall is a large lake under the glacier.
"This friend of mine, he lives in this lake." Bloom said to the group.
Everyone looked at each other.
The lake under this glacier is thousands of square meters in circumference, the lake water is clear, crystal clear, and bottomless, and it is difficult for ordinary fish to survive, let alone people. How can a man live in a lake? Could it be a mermaid?
"This friend of mine, he's a fish-man, this fish-man friend of mine, he's super telepathic." Bloom took out a glow stick from the agent's backpack and gently bent it into the lake, saying, "This fish-man friend of mine will find this glow stick in the water in two seconds, will find it in thirty seconds, and will know that I have arrived here through the fingerprints I left on the glow stick in one minute, and will surface in two minutes and appear in front of us." ”
The group listened to Bloom's words so magically, and they all showed great curiosity about this fish-man friend.
However, two minutes passed quickly, and the crowd did not wait for the fish-man friend that Bloom said would emerge from the lake.
Bloom's expression changed slightly, and he broke off two more glow sticks and threw them into the lake.
More than ten minutes passed, and the lake was calm and did not change in the slightest.
Bloom's brow furrowed, revealing deep concern.
"Dad, is this fish-man friend of yours asleep?" Hellboy asked
"Impossible." Bloom said, "Abel, the fish-man, has a strong telepathic sense that will wake him up in his sleep when something suddenly appears within three hundred meters, and I dropped three glow sticks in a row, and he can't be unaware." ”
"Professor, do you want us to dive in and see what is going on?" The accompanying agent automatically asked for help.
"It's too dangerous." Bloom shook his head and said, "No one has ever dived into this lake except for Abel. ”
"The fish-man has not appeared yet, there is only one possibility." Lu Fei on the side said, "Unless the fish-man Abel is not in this lake now, has he already left here?" ”
"Abel won't leave this lake too far, and Abel won't survive if he is out of water for a long time." Bloom shook his head and said, "Look around." ”
The group made their way along the lake, and soon an agent found a creature with dark cyan stripes in a cave beneath the ice peak.
I saw that this creature actually had the form of a human being, the skin of the whole body was dark blue and fish white stripes, its eyes were large and pitch black, its lips were flat, and its nose was only two holes the size of mung bean particles, and where its ears should have grown, there were two respiratory organs like fish gills, its bare fingers and toes were webbed, and its whole body had a sticky liquid film, like a fish's saliva.
This bizarre mermaid-like creature is none other than what Bloom calls Abel, a fish-man friend.
And now, in the cave beneath this ice peak, Broome's fish-man friend Abel is dying and unable to move.
"Abel, why did you leave the water source?" Bloom was shocked, and quickly took out the respirator prepared in advance from the backpack of the accompanying agent and put it on the fish-man Abel, who had passed out due to long-term dehydration, and took out a set of tailor-made straitjackets from the backpack of another agent and put it on the fish-man Abel.
Fish-man Abel only had a temporary coma because he was dehydrated for a long time and did not get external supplies, under the effect of the respirator, it didn't take long for the fish-man Abel to wake up and turn around, and when he saw Bloom at first glance, Fishman Abel was very surprised.
"Friend, don't be in a hurry to talk first, try to adjust your breathing first." Under Bloom's instructions, the fish-man Abel tried to adjust his breathing, and his face gradually brightened, and his expression returned to normal after a while.
"Abel, tell me what's going on here?" Bloom asked urgently, "Why did you leave the lake?" Your bodily functions will be depleted if you are separated from the water source for a long time without the action of external forces, and doing so is tantamount to suicide! ”
"Professor, there's a terrible monster in the lake." "My super telepathic abilities sense it, it's an evil hellish creature that will destroy everything it comes across, whether it's a human or a beast. ”
"What kind of terrible creature is it, do you know where it came from?" Bloom asked.
"I was looking for a rotten egg left by a bird in the lake, and it came out of nowhere." There seemed to be a trace of palpitation in the fish-man Abel's gradually recovering expression, "Fortunately, my super telepathic ability sensed its existence within 300 meters of its appearance near me, otherwise I would have been killed, my super telepathic ability only sensed its evil and cruelty, as for what kind of hellish creature it is, I have to complete the reproduction of the past phenomenon to know." ”
Able the fish-man walked to the edge of the lake with the help of two agents.
"It's out of this lake." Abel the fish-man crouched down in front of a gray-white stone by the lake, and he stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the stone with his characteristic five webbed fingers, "Ah...... It was from here that it left the lake, and it was from this stone that it stepped on, and it still had its breath on it. ”
Abel's hands continued to touch the stone, and his hands seemed to be able to touch pictures that had already happened, which was Abel's specialty, his special ability to reproduce past phenomena.
"Look, what kind of hellish creature is it?" Bloom said anxiously.
"It's ...... Oh my...... It turned out to be ...... The three-headed hellhound Samoel, the evil creature of hell, who was once sealed by the salt grains condensed by the tears of thousands of angels! Abel's hands couldn't touch the stone, as if he was caught in a deep memory.
"Three-headed Cerberus Samoel?" Bloom was shocked, "Who released the soul of the three-headed hellhound Samoel that was once sealed by the tears of angels?" ”
Abel's hands continued to wander on the stone, and finally he did not move, and his memory extended further away, when another image came to his mind, on the glacier in the distance, a man dressed in white, with long white hair and a shawl and an evil face, stood straight-
"Ahh The fish-man Abel exclaimed loudly, "He is the prince of the demon elves, the crossbow Ada!" He's been here before! ”
