Say goodbye to Zhuzhu and leave the dwelling in the underwater cave. Ah Kang and his party set off with the bottle containing the strange worm. If the cetaceans can't find an answer, they can't give an explanation to the souls of the dead because of it, and the souls of the deceased can't rest in peace. If the mastermind behind the scenes has a political purpose, it may also be the beginning of a new catastrophe in the merfolk world.

Aaron summoned a group of rays and asked his companions to lie on the backs of the larger ones, using the rays to swim to save energy and speed up the journey. The road ahead is still beautiful, but the mood always feels less relaxed than before, but a little more depressed and alert.

In fact, everyone understands that this road must be full of unknown dangers. In the last fight, Captain Akang and Aaron cooperated to win a small game, and Dubin will definitely not give up. Therefore, we must not let our guard down, and who can guarantee that the opponent will have any new tricks to deal with them.

When dusk comes, the sea is a glowing golden color, like a fantasy. The sky and the sea are almost connected, the sky is the sea, and the sea is the sky. The sunset shines with a bright red light, dyeing the world far away and vast, and perhaps the world is also suffering for some reason.

The ray, which had led the way from a long distance, sent Aaron back a message that he had seen a swarm of giant jellyfish in the sea ahead where the night was getting darker and visibility was poor, blocking his way.

"Linghime, can you talk to them?" The captain asked.

"No! Lingji activates the mode of communication with the jellyfish in front of her, trying to communicate with it. However, there are many kinds of jellyfish, and the jellyfish of breed A may not be able to control the jellyfish of breed B, so they cannot communicate.

"Hmm!" Aaron suddenly sensed an unusual message: "The jellyfish has dispersed, it is a jellyfish that is shining with silver light, like a ......"

"Like what?" The captain asked.

"Like the lion's mane jellyfish that appeared after the disappearance of Gurus." A sense of foreboding came over Aaron.

The captain handed the bottle to Kiki and said, "Kiki, something is going to happen soon." If you are sure that there is danger, you and Lingji will immediately dive and find a black corner to hide. ”

"What?" Aaron exclaimed in horror, "The electric ray pets are scattered immediately, quick!" He put away the light of his eyes when he sensed it: "More than 100 meters away, the ray was attacked, and the opponent was actually a sea electric eel that was not afraid of electricity. My electric ray is no match and has been repelled in a large area. ”

The captain turned to the two girls and ordered, "Hide now." ”

Lingji pulled Kiki downstream, her glimmering light illuminating the darkness as she searched for a reef cave in the seabed where she could hide temporarily. Lingji was a little reluctant to hide like this, but she knew that she couldn't help much on the battlefield, for Kiki, who needed her more, and for the bottle that unlocked more secrets.

"Captain, you also step back a little, the sea electric eel is a very powerful fish." Aaron transforms into battle mode.

"Please, then, I'll scout the enemy nearby." The captain lit the light on his forehead, swam out of a safe distance, and prepared to respond.

After the electric eels and electric rays dispersed, Aaron swam in front of him a merfolk with a black body and many white spots. He looked irritable, his eyes were fierce, and he tilted his head to look at Aaron. There was a chilling aura in the dim waters, and the upward-raised corners of the mouth announced a challenge.

"Are you Aaron, the pet owner of electric rays? I'm ordered to catch you, will you fight or will you be captured? The black-skinned mermaid introduced herself: "I'm Yakun, the pet owner of the electric eel, take it!" ”

"Wait, don't electric eels like to stay in fresh water? How do you get to the ocean......"

"The fate of a mermaid can be a creature on land, why can't it be a fish in freshwater? And who said there are no electric eels in the sea? It's really unheard. Yakun didn't have much patience: "Don't talk nonsense, take it!" ”

Two merfolk who can discharge electricity and attack each other with electricity release an electric field in the sea. An invisible battlefield of electricity formed around them, but the light emitted from the release of high-voltage pulses could be seen on the two of them. Aaron seemed to be at a disadvantage, gritting his teeth and frowning. There are certain safety loopholes in the ability to discharge electrical bodies when resisting external shocks. In this vulnerability, electric shock damage occurs when it is shocked, and the most typical security breach is the resistance of the medium around the body. If it is discharged in bare air, the current will only be charged to itself.

"Aaron, the electric spot defense in your body is not at the same level as mine, and the voltage pulse is weaker than mine, so I advise you to surrender!" Yakun's skin reveals a white light, and he is a very tough opponent.

"Never!" Aaron clenched his fists, and there was a stubbornness in his bones.

The sea between the two began to bubble, and the bubbles grew bigger and bigger, and continued to float upwards. Captain Akang, who was watching the battle from a distance but couldn't help, was very surprised, and sighed secretly in his heart:

"Did there be a chemical reaction in the seawater between them, such as electrophoresis or electrolysis? Are those bubbles elements like hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine? ”

"Drink!" Yakun shouted, and an even stronger attack unleashed. Aaron fell backwards after an unseen impact of force.

"Hahaha......" This time Yakun won, he grabbed the tail of the injured and unconscious Aaron, and quickly swam towards the deep sea.

"What?" How could the captain sit idly by. He dodged after Yakun, but immediately stopped. In the dim waters where Akun dragged Aaron, swarms of sharks appeared.

"Old friend, meet again!" Dubin's dark face, which seemed to be chronically sleep-deprived, emerged from the darkness.

"I'm guessing it's you, Dubin, why are you always pestering us? What exactly do you want to do? The captain asked.

"Actually, I'm very busy, and I don't bother to deal with you when you accidentally intrude on my territory. It's a pity that the calf, if you don't care about the calf's business, you'll be fine, but it's a pity you didn't. ”

"What? You want to control cetaceans, what do you want to do with whales? ”

"To clarify, I'm not interested in whales. I'm interested in Lyulina, the pet owner of cetacean hunting. ”

"What kind of grudge does she have against you to kill her?"

"If you want to know the answer to this, just win against me first. Today I'm going to go head-to-head with you and let you taste my fists. So that you understand that I don't rely entirely on my shark people for everything. Dubin transforms into battle mode and rushes towards Captain Akang.

The fist-to-flesh fight unfolded on the two of them.

"You used me to find Lylena, didn't you?" The captain punches and is blocked by his opponent.

"That's right, you saved me a lot of effort by helping me find her." Dubin punched the captain in the stomach.

"Did the evolution of merfolk be used to fight with each other among merfolk of the same race?" The captain turned around and threw a dodge punch.

"I understand this, but people will go their own way and do what they think is right." The fist still didn't flick for long.

"Is evolution all about winning and losing?" The captain moved quickly through the water, looking for an opportunity to attack again.

"Evolution is to defend against the killing of ferocious fish, which is all nonsense to coax children." Dubin pushed his big fist again.

"You hunted the merfolk today, didn't you feel ashamed of your evolution?" The captain punched Dubin in the face.

"Shame? It would be even more humiliating if we could not protect more of our people after evolution. Dubin swirled around and swept his tail at the captain.

"To protect the people is to kill the fish, what kind of logic is this?" The captain turned and punched back.

"There are merfolk who evolve their bodies but degenerate their minds, and end up with evolutionary pains. Those people should be killed! Dubin roared angrily: "It's useless to keep it, it will only harm more people." He said an elbow on the captain's shoulder.

"It's not up to you to decide who should be killed or not, and you're more like the kind of person you say." The captain dodged the blow.

"There's so much you don't understand, and you won't understand the pain of people like us." Dubin's red eyes seemed to be tearing in his black circles.

The fists and palms were exchanged and the exchange of words and swords continued. Both of them use physical strength and endurance, and use the most primitive hand-to-hand combat to guard their deep persistent beliefs and wills.

……

In a small dark cave underwater, Kiki holds the bottle in the deepest depths. She couldn't do anything but guard the bottle, so she could only hide in the corner and wait for the calm and miracle she imagined. How she wished that the god of luck would favor her, so that she could also make great achievements, and not always hide behind others and shrink her head and wait for someone else's protection.

Lingji stood guard at the exit of the small cave, using the spirit rhino to sense what the captain and the little jellyfish watching the battle not far from around Dubin saw. She seemed to be more nervous than the captain, and in her psychic eyes, she saw the captain covered in bruises and blood spots. Dubin's body is obviously much larger than Captain Akang, and the captain doesn't have much advantage at all.

Until the captain fell to the sand at the bottom of the sea and was unable to move, Dubin was still floating there panting:

"Akang, I'm going to catch a few of you, what I want to tell you is that I don't mobilize sharks to carry out sneak attacks to capture hostages, I can win you with physical strength alone. So let you know that I am not afraid of you, you are my defeated men. Hahaha......" Dubin laughed.

This scene was seen by the lantern jellyfish at the scene and connected with Lingji's information channel: "Oh no, Aaron has been caught, and Captain Akang is also ......"

"Ahh Kiki's scream awakens Lingji, who has sensed the jellyfish. Although Reiki activates the stealth mode, she is spotted by a shark that is chasing her prey with an inductive electrical signal, and the shark has swam in front of Reihime. The ending speaks for itself: Aaron, Captain, Kiki, and Lingji are once again captured by Dubin.

The sea calmed down, and the starry light in the sky flickered mysteriously. The quiet night dances with the ripples of the sea, and the sea is filled with glowing plankton and fish. Emitting a faint blue fluorescence, the starlight and the sea fluorescence reflect and shine on each other, everything is deep and empty, as strange as a dream.

It was dark and Kiki woke up in a small puddle. I found myself no longer in the sea, but on a small island. There are many seagulls flying on the island, which is not large, but there is a thick fog around it. I don't know what island it is, but I can see the sea water at the boundary of the island in the fog. Suddenly, I heard footsteps and a familiar and hateful voice behind me:

"Your name is Kiki, right?" Dubin appeared from behind with a plate in each hand: "Don't be afraid, I want to talk to you." ”

Kiki shrank back in fright, and her instinctive reaction was to run away. But the tail is chained: "You...... You're going to let me go, I don't want to talk to you about anything. ”

Dubin slowly approached Kiki and brought two plates. One plate contains a couple of boiled potatoes, and the other is a roasted bird, I wonder if it's a seagull or not. For the fish, these foods belong to the mountains, and the aroma is very attractive: "Relax, I invite you to eat." We are all ignorant and have no grudges in our lives, and if I want to harm you, I will never use such a rotten method as poisoning, so you can eat a little! ”

Kiki realizes that she is really hungry. If you really want to die, you have to eat enough. Stretched out his hand to take the food and ate it, and stared at the other party with white eyes while eating: "Why?" Why kill? ”

Dubin raised his head slightly and sat down on the stone opposite. His eyes were melancholy and gloomy: "You may also see that my eyes are dark, right?" To be honest, I often can't sleep and often have nightmares at night. The merfolk are supposed to help each other, not kill each other. But in addition to greater ability, evolution has also brought more suffering, can you understand it?

In my dreams, a voice kept ringing: 'Avenge me.'" 'My shark people are all over the oceans, and they are also a link in the food chain, with their own status and role, and build a certain ecological balance of the ocean. But nightmares kept coming.

In addition to the ferocious giants in the sea that hunt sharks, terrestrial humans on land also hunt sharks, just as they can catch and catch other marine fish for food. Terrestrial humans are another branch of our ancestors, and they love fish just as much as we do. ”

Dubin choked up a little as he spoke, as if mentioning the sadness:

"But the thing I hate the most is that terrestrial humans have invented all sorts of strange dishes. One of them is a dish called shark fin, which is made with the fins of my pet. Do you know how much pain I have to endure for this? But the cruelest thing was not only that, after they sawed off the fins of my love, they also threw me, the people who had lost their fins, back into the sea, and made them live and die in the sea. I felt them cry out in pain from the bottom of my heart, and it hurt me very much. ”

Du Bin's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and he gritted his teeth:

"I wanted to find a way to make it less painful for me. I found that killing people gave me pleasure, and I gave up on my original intention of being a good person. You know that people who have suffered to a certain extent will not care too much about their final destination. That's how I was, I searched for sharks that had been sawed off their fins by terrestrial humans and thrown back into the sea for three days and couldn't swim, and every time I found a shark, the pain of my sensory rhino increased. ”

Du Bin frowned, looked up at the sky, and looked sadly:

"Why? Why? Why do we have to endure terrestrial humans who are imbecile like us? The elders of the Sea Clan always say that there is no distinction between high and low races, and there is no difference between superior and inferior lives, and those are all deceptive nonsense. ”

Kiki didn't quite believe Dubin's words, but suddenly found that he turned his back, lowered his head and cried quietly. This is what Kiki didn't expect, such a fierce and cold mermaid villain would be so sad because his favorite pet was hunted down. mentioned the remarks of the patriarchs, it should be against some laws of the current mermaid society or something.

"Humph! I can't sit idly by. I began to seek out fellow merfolk who could bring comfort to my wounded souls, and to make a covenant with them. I want to change this ecological order, change this situation. He turned his head to look at Kiki:

"I know you haven't completed your second evolution, and we have experts in biological evolution among our allies. If you're willing to ally with us, I can find an expert to help you evolve, are you interested? ”

"To complete the second evolution, you need to find a pet, and you need to have a pet to find a pet, and fate is hard to find, how can outsiders help?" Kiki asked.

"Not necessarily, some merfolk subconscious doors are locked. If you open the lock, you will know a lot of information that will promote your own evolution. Dubin explained.

Kiki is deep in thought, evolution requires cultivation to complete. If you can't complete your own evolution, you will always be a burden to your companions. But it seems even more undesirable to want to form an alliance with the bad guys for the sake of evolution, how many people will spurn and criticize it? This is a betrayal of one's own soul. Which is more important, on the one hand, the pressure of survival, and on the other hand, the dignity of life?

The sound of the crashing waves came from the seashore, and the cool sea breeze blew. Tickling Kiki's long hair, flowing in front of her warmth. The seagulls flying left and right in the sky resonated with the contradictions in his heart......

Lingji woke up with a bright light shining on her head. When I looked up, I saw a round sky. Surrounded by a circle of polished rock walls, it was as if they had been thrown into a huge dry well.

"Are you awake?" A feminine voice came from behind. It was a voice that seemed familiar and yet unfamiliar.

Lingji looked back, and there was a transparent figure on the other side of the rock wall, and its original form suddenly appeared. It is a middle-aged mermaid with a bewitching body and gray-black nail spines on her arms, legs and feet. She has long and slender eyes, a pointed nose and a sexy chin. It should be described as a cool-looking hot girl among mermaids, but not so young. She slowly walked towards Lingji, the corners of her mouth slightly curled:

"You're a lantern jellyfish, aren't you? What a lovely child. ”

"Who are you?" Lingji's words were short and to the point.

"You speak with a personality that really looks like mine." The woman smiled, "My name is Enchantress." The name is not good, but that's just a title, the pet owner of the lion's mane jellyfish. "The Enchantress's voice is as glamorous as her name.

"Lion's mane jellyfish! Did you capture Gurus? And where are my companions? What do you want to do? Lingji asked.

"Hehehe......" Her laughter is still bewitching:

"You're a prisoner, and you're not qualified to ask that much." The Enchantress untied the chains on Lingji's tail: "If you want to know about your companion's affairs, I'll talk about winning first." Our pets are all jellyfish, so I don't count as bullying you. ”

She shrunk her neck, her hands clenched in front of her chest, and a long, thin and misty gray transparent thorn immediately stretched out from her back. Thousands of them, and their faces have also entered battle mode, like a terrifying big hedgehog.

"My thorns are poisonous, don't think I'll show mercy." The demon queen is ready to attack: "Don't be stunned, quickly transform into a move." ”

"I'm not afraid of you!" Lingji tried to transform, but only a few thorns stuck out of her back: "I only have a few thorns to defeat you!" She rushed to the Enchantress.

The Enchantress still stood in place, her arms folded over her chest, the corners of her mouth raised, and a contemptuous laugh coming out of her nose. This girl who is too much like herself is too self-conscious. When Lingji was about to touch the Enchantress, Enchantress's eyes glowed sharply, and countless thorns stretched out from her back at the same time, piercing Lingji's body, hands and feet. The pain was so severe that Reiji couldn't help but roll the ground, but she bit her lip and didn't scream.

There was a trace of sadness in the eyes of the enchantress, and the way this stubborn little girl struggled was so distressing. But pain is also a process that needs to be experienced by evolution, let alone a mermaid whose level of evolution is still so poor. When the Enchantress had just come back to her senses, she found that the Spirit Queen had swung the few thin thorns she had, and the second wave of attacks had begun. And the distance is closer than the first time, and this time Lingji looks like she is going to win a game. It's just that I don't know if she is mentally prepared to face the result after this game.

Suddenly, the Enchantress disappeared in front of her eyes, moving so fast. The muscles and strength of the mermaid are all developed in the water, and they naturally have outstanding elasticity. Lingji noticed that it was not good and looked back, but it was too late to dodge. The dense thorns of the enchantress that appeared behind him were already pierced on his back, legs and shoulders.

The pain, the pain that pierced the bones, burst out with blood and sweat. Lingji fell to the ground, coughing, trembling and panting, but never screamed. The enchantress saw it in her eyes and quietly shed a few tears. She kept all her sorrow to the bottom of her heart, and she could only do that.

Lingji regained her senses a little, and struggled to stand up. She didn't care how many eyes she had been stabbed, she only knew that after the lock was unlocked, she would have a chance to defeat her opponent and save her companion by transforming into a human form. No matter how hard she worked, she couldn't give up such an opportunity, but the pain made her unsteady and she immediately fell to the ground again. She raised her head, glaring at the terrifying opponent of unknown origin, still thinking about continuing the fight.

The Enchantress stretched out a few thorns and slowly approached the Spirit Queen lying on the ground. Say as you walk:

"Little girl, do you understand evolution? Let me teach you a lesson, genetic mutations can change traits and produce genetic variation between bodies. New traits are transmitted through the population through the gene due to migration, and evolution occurs when these genetic variants become more common or rarer in the population due to non-random natural selection or random genetic drift. You may not understand this today, but please remember that you will understand in the future. ”

Lingji's stubborn eyes still glared at the Enchantress, but the Enchantress did not give up the third attack because her opponent was seriously injured. Her long outstretched thorns sprang out with a merciless edge, this time nailing them to Lingji's forehead and several parts on the top of her head.

The pain, still the pain, the unforgettable pain, made Lingji unconscious. She couldn't see the weeping Enchantress, but she felt a white light from the darkness, shining on her wounded shell. Gradually, she no longer felt the pain, but a strange itching sensation spread from the wound on her body, causing her to gradually forget the pain, or lose consciousness. But there was a strange feeling, which had nothing to do with dying, but it was quite clear: it was the voice of the Enchantress, which seemed familiar and unfamiliar, and it was not clear what caused it to feel that way. Another point is the explanation of evolution that the Enchantress just said, she doesn't seem to have any intention of killing herself......

The enchantress, who had been standing next to Lingji, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at this stubborn little girl again. She wanted to look at her more, and even wanted to look at her all the time, because she felt that she had seen her too little before, and finally said faintly:

"Little girl, the pain nerves on the surface of your body have been genetically modified by me, your evolutionary ability will no longer be suppressed, you can play freely, and your second evolution will be completed soon."
