Chapter 57: Aberrations
Aerti hurried to a rather humble house, where instead of the joy and worry of the birth of a newborn, everyone looked as if they were facing a great enemy. They were all dressed in rough linen clothes, some with harpoons, some with spears, some with knives, not as if they were greeting newborns, but more like they were facing some kind of monster.
Levi found that only Oerti could barely be called a "human" of all the people here, and it would be more appropriate for everyone else to be called a "half-fishman". They are still generally human, but they have many fish features. And even in the vicinity of so many half-fishmen, the tracking technique never lit up.
And the people here look like what a fishing village should look like, coarse cloth clothes, dark skin, and rough palms, which are the characteristics of fishermen who have been growing up by the sea for a long time. And a fashionably dressed girl like Oerti is the one who is extremely out of place here.
From inside the humble house came the hoarse cry of a woman, and the yelling and noise of many others. It's less like a production, more like a torture.
Suddenly, the sound died down, and then an extremely shrill cry rang out in the room. Hearing this shrill scream, the people outside clutched the weapons in their hands.
At this point, the red light on the tracking technique lights up!
Levi squeezed in and found an angle from which he could look inside the room, but instead he saw a fish that looked like a primate with siblings, bathed in blood and with an umbilical cord attached to its belly. At this moment, everyone was stunned, as if they had lost their minds at its shrill cry.
It landed on the ground, ripped the umbilical cord from its navel with its sharp claws, and then looked at the strange world with curiosity about everything.
Then, it ripped off the umbilical cord and stuffed it into its mouth as if it were haphazardly.
"Damn it, it's a deformed species!" The old half-fish man reacted as quickly as he could, and he raised the spear in his hand to stab it, but the fish with long legs and legs was very nimble and dodged the spike, and the ugly fish face revealed a human expression of incomprehension and doubt.
The other people around also reacted, picked up the weapon in their hand and stabbed at the monster on the ground, which was less than thirty centimeters long.
But the newborn deformed species was surprisingly nimble, and it slammed into a half-fishman's face, its sharp claws blinding him, and then the relay bounced and left the humble house in an instant.
It didn't take more than two seconds for the monster to disappear from sight.
"Bang!" The short-barreled shotgun in Levi's hand fired at the roof of the house, and the deafening sound resounded all around, and countless tiny steel balls crackled and bounced into the sky.
Draw your gun quickly!
A black figure rolled down and fell to the ground, its body had been sieveed by the tiny steel balls of the shotgun, but even then the monster did not die, but struggled on the ground, as if trying to escape.
Levi stepped on it, and the soles of his cowboy suit's iron leather boots stomped it into the ground.
The distorted fish-man didn't seem to be dead, and he kept struggling at Levi's feet.
"Kill that monster, Outlander! If it is allowed to enter the Kuroshio, a powerful scuba will be born. ”
"Is that so?"
Dark red sewage oozed from under the soles of his leather boots, and he was still struggling, and the fish-like face looked at Levi, as if pleading, as if crying.
"Click." It was the sound of bones shattering, and it was very soft.
And Levi was crushed hard.
God has mercy on monsters, and he doesn't.
Only dead monsters are good monsters!
This is the end of this incident, and Levi, a foreigner who is not a fishing village, seems to have been treated with the courtesy of the other half-fish people. Even the stinky half-fish man who looked like a dried persimmon ghost shark before kept telling him that he was sorry.
The woman who gave birth, named Oran, eventually died, dying of massive hemorrhage.
Even the man who had been impaled in the eye by the monster's sneak attack died, and that moment seemed to pierce the major artery, and he also died of massive bleeding.
No one thought that just one production would directly cause this fishing village with a population of less than 1,000 people to directly lose two people.
What awaited was not good news, but a funeral. The fire burned the bodies of the two men, because it was just firewood, and the ordinary wood flame was not hot enough to burn into ashes, just burned into the remains of a skeleton. The bodies were buried on a hillside in the village, where there were only one pit after another, and there were not even tombstones.
After the funeral was simply over, Levi looked at the shark lady Oerti, she didn't cry, she didn't do any emotional catharsis, as if she was going through the motions as a routine. By the time the last handful of dirt was piled on top, everyone had left.
The Kuroshio is coming, and they need to prepare food, harpoons, boulders, rolling logs, and a host of other things. There is no time for them to be sad and sad, and there is no time to slack off.
The sturdy half-fish people continued to guard the village gate, their two-meter-long harpoons glowing with cold light.
After the events of the day, everyone in the village seemed to trust Levi, and the old half-fishman village chief found Levi a place to live, a wooden hut, but the inside of the house was very clean and tidy.
Levi began to practice spiritual power here, and after learning that other worlds could also practice spiritual power, he was ready to find a place to practice quietly. So when the shark lady named Oerti was ready to take him back to the fishing village, he readily agreed.
However, when Levi was constantly cultivating spiritual power, his brain unconsciously analyzed some things about this copy.
He had thought that the gills and fangs of Oerti were monsters, but when he came to this village, he found that the mermaids here were much more distinct, and later, a pure deformed species of fish-people was produced from this group of half-fishmen.
This is the curse of the fishing village mentioned in the mission ascension of this world, the so-called curse, is it to make their gang gradually turn into the appearance of fish people? Even, completely become a complete fish-man, that is, become what they call a ghost.
And the so-called Kuroshio refers to the group of sneakers who came ashore like a tide, like a black tide? And what's under the Kuroshio? Is it a scuba diver's lair? Or is it the source of the curse?
If his guess was correct, weren't the sneakers the same origin as humans?
Just like the demons in his main world, many demons are turned into humans, and all he knows is that there is Blade Hide, and the scavengers are both originally human.
