Chapter Seventy-Four: Shark Island

Xiao He and Lin'er were arguing, and the shadow of a child suddenly appeared not far away.

The two immediately stopped arguing and looked at the child, a little boy of five or six years old, but with blue scales on his chest, arms, thighs, and webbed ears on his pointed ears.

"It's a child of the mermaid clan..."Lin'er whispered, "Maybe he knows where Xiao Qi is, let's hurry up and ask." ”

As she spoke, Lin'er waved her hand at the little boy and shouted, "Hey, little brother..."

When the little boy saw Lin'er shouting to himself, he was stunned for a moment, and ran away, and suddenly got into the bushes next to him.

"Hmm, are you so timid?" said Lin'er as she lowered her arm and wondered.

"Quick, let's catch up with him, we will definitely be able to find the village here, don't let him be frightened, after all, we are in someone else's territory..."Xiao He said, raising his strength to chase after him.

Lin'er shouted, "Wait for me", and also pulled out her legs to follow Xiao He.

Xiao He followed the little boy of the merman race into the dense forest, and he was surprised that the little boy's speed was almost catching up with the warriors of the human race. Presumably, the body structure of the merman is also different from that of the human race, and in this environment, you must have a strong physical fitness to survive.

Xiao He kept a distance from the little boy, and gradually, the plant species around him changed, and the air was not as humid as the seaside. Xiao He knew that the little boy's home was about to arrive.

Sure enough, an open space appeared in front of Xiao He and the others, and there was a wooden house in the center of the clearing, which was quite simple, and the roof was made of local plant branches and leaves.

The little boy rushed into the house, and Xiao He and Lin'er stood in front of the wooden house.

Xiao He and Lin'er glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and slowly walked to the door of the cabin.

Lin'er hesitated, but finally made up her mind and knocked on the wooden door.

"Who?" came out of it, and there were voices that Xiao He and Lin'er could understand.

The wooden door was opened, and a middle-aged mermaid woman stared at them.

"You are... Terrans on the mainland?" she was obviously surprised, it seemed that she had never been in contact with the Terrans of the Kyushu Continent.

The merman woman quickly closed the door, but was blocked by Xiao He.

"This aunt, we are indeed Terrans, but we are not bad people, I hope you can believe us, we just want to ask you a question, and we will leave after asking..."

Xiao He's words were full of sincerity, and the merman woman looked at the two of them suspiciously, looked up and down, let go of the hand holding the door of the house, turned around and entered the house, and said:

"Come in..."

Xiao He and the others gently opened the door of the house and slowly walked in, only to find that this wooden house was indeed very simple, there was only a bed, a table, a few chairs, and fishing nets hanging on the walls.

"I'm sorry, we really don't have anything to entertain you at home, if you have any questions, just ask..."The merman woman said.

The little merman boy timidly hid behind his mother, revealing a pair of bright blue eyes, as dazzling as jewels.

Lin'er stepped forward and bowed, saying:

"Excuse me, the two of us are cultivators from the Kyushu Continent, and my younger brother is investigating because of... Belch... Something may have entered this merman island, so we came here to find my brother. ”

"His name is Xiao Qi, he is about the same height as me, he is wearing a black warrior robe, and he has two short knives on his body..."

Lin'er tried her best to describe Xiao Qi's appearance, looking at the aunt of the merman clan with expectation.

The eldest aunt of the merman clan slowly shook her head and said:

"I've never seen this Terran you're talking about..."

Lin'er's face couldn't hide the look of disappointment, Xiao He comforted: "Don't worry, this merman island is so big, let's ask more, we will definitely find some clues..."

Lin'er nodded, thanked Aunt Shark, and was about to turn away, but felt that someone was gently pulling her clothes.

She turned around and saw that it was the little boy of the merman clan, and he whispered:

"Sister Terran, my sister and I found the big brother you mentioned on the beach there a month ago..."

When Lin'er heard the little boy say this, her eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, and she quickly squatted down and asked:

"Little brother, do you know where he is now?"

"Hmm... I don't know about that, but my sister sent him to the city," replied the boy.

"What about your sister?" Xiao He asked.

The little boy seemed to be sad and hid behind his mother, and the aunt of the merman clan also sighed.

"His sister has been sent to the city to be a maid in the flax family, and the father of the two of them was eaten by a sea monster when he went to sea a few months ago, and as you can see, I can't support the two of them alone, so so... Alas..."The aunt kept sighing, and it seemed that she was reluctant to give up this daughter.

"Is it a merman city?" asked Lin'er.

"Yes, there is only one city on the Shark Island, and the city lord is the head of the Lema family. You go all the way down the path outside, and you will be there fifty miles. His sister's name was Lan Yu, and she wore a ring-shaped blue jade from her father around her neck when she left...", the aunt replied.

"I finally have a clue, thank you for my aunt and this little brother, Xiao He, let's go quickly..."

Xiao He also thanked the mother and son of the merman clan, nodded to Lin'er, and the two left the wooden house together and left along the path.

"Lin'er, the surname of this merman clan is really weird, what 'flax', what 'Lema'... Besides, how can their language be the same as our Terrans?" Xiao He asked as he walked.

"Mortal, you don't understand this, Xiao Qi and I have done enough homework before, of course we know," Lin'er was obviously very proud, "These are very old surnames, I think when this whale was born, there were human races like us living on the land he bitten..."

"Then their language is of course in the same vein as ours, and it is natural for them to understand it. But over the years, they have gradually changed differently from us, their bodies have become more and more accustomed to the sea, and they have gradually grown scales, and their arms and legs have something like duck webs..."

"This merman clan is also differentiated, what we saw just now is the blue shark people, the scales on their bodies are the blue of the sea, and even their eyes are blue. This blue shark people are natural fishing and hunting experts, and their tears can be turned into merman pearls, which are also priceless in the market in all Kyushu..."

"Another kind of merman, the scales on the body are yellow, the eyes are also yellow, this kind of merman does not produce orbs, but they are natural warriors, the strength is infinite, and the force is also amazing. As time passed, the blue shark people gradually showed weakness, and the yellow shark people became the nobles of the shark people. Some of them are often sold into the homes of nobles as slaves, and some are used as coolies, which is very miserable..."

Xiao He nodded while listening, he didn't expect that this Lin'er still knew a lot, which had something to do with her curiosity all the time.

"There are similarities between this merman race and the human race, it seems that people's hearts are the same everywhere..."Xiao He couldn't help but sigh.
