Chapter 192: Fishman
When Gu Wen walked out of the big tent, Li Fusheng was foaming at the mouth and bragging about his martial arts to the students who gathered around.
I saw Gu Wen walking in through the gap that the crowd automatically dodged away. Li Fusheng said loudly: "Captain, look, we caught the fish man. ”
As soon as Gu Wen turned his head, he saw a face with the word "embarrassment".
This fish-man is about 1.5 meters tall, and its whole body is orange and red, covered with golden-red patterns.
His face was a typical sad one, with large black eyes drooping and the corners of the fish's mouth sloping downward. It has fish scales on its back, limbs like the forelimbs of a seal, and a long tail of a fish. It was as if it was greased, with a fishy smell.
What distinguishes it from the beast is that the fish-man's lower body is surrounded by culottes made of kelp. Apparently they already have a sense of civilization.
In the hands of the three teams of students next to the fishman, they also carried a net bag made of seaweed, which also contained a few green coconuts.
Gu Wen asked Li Fusheng, "Does he understand what we say?"
Li Fusheng scratched his head: "I shouldn't understand, right? When I asked him, he always squeaked. ”
Gu Wen nodded and checked it with the Fortune Checking Spell. I saw that the luck of this fish-man was pale blue, and there was a faint black on his head. The whole soul fluctuation felt nervous, scared, and a little wronged.
"Do you understand me, what's your name, where do you live?" Gu Wen asked triedly.
The fish-man obviously had some wisdom, and turned his embarrassed head to Gu Wen, and his two big black eyes showed a look of fear and grievance.
His right upper limb was tied with hemp rope, and he only waved one of his left upper limb and poked his fingers there, making a series of rapid "creaking" sounds from his mouth.
Gu Wen smiled: "It seems that the language is incomprehensible, and there is no way to communicate." This fish-man doesn't seem to be a fierce race, don't abuse him. ”
"I heard that although the fish-man can live on the shore, he can't stay out of the water for too long, so prepare a large bucket of seawater for him. And it seems that this fish man is a vegetarian, give him some fruits, coconut meat, coconut water or something. Gu Wen said, watching more and more students come around, frowning and saying:
"Tell someone to watch it, and don't let the students come to see the excitement. ”
Saying that, Gu Wenxiang quietly slipped closer, stretched out a finger and was about to poke the fishman's back:
"Double Flower Red Stick, the task of guarding the fishman is entrusted to you. Don't abuse him, you know?"
"Oh" Ma Huateng retracted his finger in a curt, as an honorable warden, it was not right for a guard to steal by himself.
The fish-people still "squeaked" and squeaked merrily.
Ma Huateng ran to the reef pile and found a square stone the size of a zhang, carried the square stone to the camp, jumped on the stone and smashed it with his fist. "Bang bang" roared, and the gravel flew around. With a cup of tea, Ma Huateng smashed the ashlar into a huge sink with a pair of meat fists.
The onlookers all hid far away, watching in fear as Ma Hua Teng became powerful.
The embarrassed big-headed fishman was so frightened that his eyes were about to fall out of his sockets, and he opened his mouth wide and forgot to call.
At this time, several students fetched water from the sea with wooden barrels, and the stone tank was filled with seawater in an instant.
Ma Huateng expressed satisfaction with the actions of the ponies, and nodded and walked to the fishman. Reach out.
The embarrassed big-headed fishman was so frightened that the scales trembled all over his body, but he didn't dare to resist. In his peaceful life on the island, he had never seen such a terrifying animal.
Even those huge herbivorous sea dragons are not as fierce as the small ones about the same size as themselves in front of them.
Ma Huateng grabbed the hemp rope on the fisherman's body and threw it. The fish-man suddenly flew up like a cloud. Ma Huateng's hand had already shaken the hemp rope on the fisherman's body to pieces. The fish-man flew in the air, his limbs staggering.
Suddenly, the fish-man's eyes were closed, his belly was facing up, and his whole body was stiff and motionless, and he actually put on a posture of "don't disturb if you're dead" in the air. Hearing a "poof", the fish-man fell into the water-filled stone trough.
The fishman really deserves to be a creature in the sea, and a tank of water suddenly "restored" him to his senses. He plunged headlong into the bottom of the sink, curled up in a ball, and refused to come out again.
Ma Huateng went to the front of the stone trough with a golden knife, and there was a momentum of being a husband and a man.
There was no fish-man to see the fish-man coming up, and the onlookers gradually dispersed under the gaze of Ma Huateng, and they were talking in groups in the camp.
According to the brief contact just now, everyone understands that this orange-red embarrassed fish-man is obviously also an amphibious fish-man, but it does not seem to belong to the amphibious carnivorous fierce fish-man who fights against humans all year round.
Judging by his act of collecting coconuts, this is a vegetarian fish-man. Gu Wen also specially asked people to put fruits, fish and shrimp on the edge of the stone trough. The fish-man was dismissive of meat, but he poked his head into the fresh fruit, but did not eat it out of caution or for some reason.
After observing for a while, Gu Wen called Li Fusheng and the others into the camp tent and got a general understanding of the situation of the discovery of the fish man. In the end, it was judged that this fish-man must have his own ethnic group on the island.
Their situation is estimated to be similar to Gu Wen's group, they are all trapped on Monkey Face Island. Of course, it is also possible that these fish-people originally inhabited this island.
Gu Wen finally decided to let this fishman go, and then send someone to follow and find the fishman group.
Although this fish-man could not communicate with the terrestrial human race, Gu Wen judged from some kind of clue that he seemed to have heard similar language. It is quite possible that there are people in the Fish-People who know the language of the Terrans.
On Monkey Face Island, where there is a lot of danger, being able to get a clearer picture of the situation and not too much danger is obviously worth trying.
Li Fusheng agreed: "Well, do we want to put on a play, such as the guards falling asleep at night, or there is a riot in the camp, or the animal protection organization will come to rescue the caught fishman." ”
Gu Wen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Dude, you're thinking too much." The fishman's thinking is not so complicated, just let him go. By the way, just give him back his coconut. ”
As for letting the fish-people go, Ma Hua Teng is against it. This stupid and cute embarrassed big-headed fishman made her feel very interesting, and Ma Huateng even gave him a name called "Crunch". If possible, she even wants to take "Squeak" back to school.
Gu Wen had no choice but to persuade: "'Crunch' is also a wise human being, he also has his own parents, and he is also homesick. If you take him away, Grunk won't be able to see his parents and go home. ”
Ma Huateng was said with tears in his eyes, and without saying a word, he lifted the stone jar and walked out of the camp. A punch smashed the stone jar apart.
The water poured out, and the creak slid out. Gu Wen placed the net bag full of coconuts beside the frightened Squeak. Glancing at a few people, everyone turned and walked towards the camp.
Ma Huateng was still standing in place and looking at the squeak reluctantly, Gu Wen grabbed her and walked back, and said in a low voice:
"It's okay, we'll follow him to his lair, there are more fish-people there, you can see enough. ”
Ma Huateng was stunned for a moment, and said happily: "Okay, move the whole family back to school, and you won't be homesick." Wenguo, you are so smart. ”
“......”
Sure enough, as expected, Crunch didn't have many complicated thoughts. After the strange bipeds that are more ferocious than the herbivorous sea dragon are gone. He dragged his net and slid into the forest as fast as he had ever lived.
Of course, the Fishmen don't move fast on land. The squeak erects the toes of his lower limbs and moves forward in a ballet-like fashion, but the actual speed is about the same as that of an average human walking.
Along the way, Crunch didn't look back. In an environment where there are no natural predators, the concept of vigilance is almost non-existent. Squeak just rushed to the clan station ********, ready to report the shocking news of the appearance of a strange and ferocious group of bipeds on the island to the patriarch.
The trackers behind Queak began to follow cautiously, occasionally hiding themselves with the help of trees and rocks.
After chasing for a while, everyone found that there was no need at all, just follow it generously in a place where they couldn't hear the squeak.
Several of the Assassins felt very unaccomplished.
Gu Wen and Ma Huateng also followed later. The matter of contact with the fish-people is very important, and at the same time, because Gu Wen is proficient in spells, he has a keen ability to perceive the luck and emotions of the other party.
Therefore, after telling Li Fusheng to stick to the camp, Gu Wen also began to follow the team.
Originally, Gu Wen was going to let Ma Huateng continue to stay in the camp to suppress this group of people who had not appeared for a long time because of the crisis, and they were about to treat Monkey Face Island as a place
Students at tourist destinations.
Ma Huateng shook his head and objected: "I'm going to see the whole family, who has the air to manage this group of rookies." Besides, as long as the terrifying monster doesn't show up for a day, it's not realistic for you to want these people to be nervous at any time. ”
Gu Wen was stunned for a moment, but nodded slowly: "Yes, I can try to remind them, but I can't think for them." There are some things that you won't understand until you have experienced them. It's just that sometimes it's too costly. ”
Ma Huateng rolled his eyes: "It seems that you have already experienced a lot better." ”
Following all the way, the fish-man squeaked through the forest for two hours, went around to the back of the Monkey-faced Mountain, and walked into the fish-man ruins.
Next to the altar, near the mountain wall, there was a gap hidden by a stone pillar, and the fish-man creaked and dragged a full net into this stone crevice.
I only heard the sound of coconuts knocking on the stones coming from the cracks, and the sound became deeper and lower. Apparently the Fish-People live just below this crevice. (To be continued.) )
