Chapter 003: The Mermaid Awakens (3)
The moment she surfaced, she saw the leaden-gray overhead of a very low lead-gray cloudy sky, and the cascading waves around her, as well as the ice floes and the black coastline at the end of the waves. The coastline was so far away, and she was so weak, that after struggling to adjust her position, she was half unconscious, half floating, pushed by the waves towards the shoreline.
It was like a flower being pushed ashore.
She collapsed on a rocky beach covered with ice ballast.
Beneath him, the injured tail fin dragged like rags, spilling open a puddle of blood, mixed with seawater, minced flesh, and filth.
She gasped unconsciously, vaguely feeling that she was about to die, but she didn't want to die yet...... Want to live......
Little by little, her slumped consciousness returned to her mind, and she pressed a pair of hands that were still a little uncontrollably shaking against the ground, trying to stand up, but she couldn't stand up. Turning her head to look, she found that in just a few moments, her injured tail fin had been frozen on the cold and hard rocky beach with the blood that had been spilled, and even her whole person was trapped to death.
A sense of foreboding came back to my mind.
She shook her hands and laboriously opened the game bracelet on her wrist, and on the bracelet, the current game task was "escape!" That is, there is still something chasing her or threatening her safety, whatever it may be.
There's no time to grind.
She reached out to dig up the puddle of blood ice that had frozen her, but she couldn't dig it up.
Inadvertently, the nail hooked a small piece of scale on his tail fin and gently pulled it back—
After a while, I hooked a large piece of belt meat!
Specks of blood were sprinkled on the black rocky beach, like tiny flowers blooming one by one. She looked at the scattered flesh and blood flowers and was slightly stunned, and suddenly reacted, and raised her hand to tear off her tail fin!
Since you can't dig up the blood ice, then it's the same if you tear off the tail fin to get out of trouble!
In the depths of his mind, the mysterious voice suddenly sounded again: "Player Su Xi, trigger 'Race: ??? 's race main quest one: break the chrysalis. Please complete the task within 10 minutes. Note that the quest is 'Race:??? If you fail, the follow-up quest will never be opened, so please be cautious. ”
Race main quest?
This information flashed in Su Xi's heart, but she no longer had the extra energy to explore what it was.
Anyway, just rip the tail fin off as fast as possible!
The tail fin has long been broken, and it will be torn apart without the slightest hindrance.
Deep in her body, something instinct gradually awakened, and her action of tearing at the tail fin became faster and more skillful, like a cold-blooded reptile molting rapidly. It was only five or six minutes before she tore her tail fin to pieces, revealing her ......
A pair of legs that belong to a human.
She looked at these legs and was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, but it seemed to be reasonable-
Subconsciously, it seems that she should have such a pair of legs that belong to a human, rather than the tail fin that symbolizes a fish.
Is this "pupa-breaking"?
She thought of the task she had just triggered and clicked on the game bracelet. On the translucent virtual interface, "Current Game Mission: Escape! There is an extra line of words underneath, which is "Race Main Quest 1: Breaking the Chrysalis". And at the end of the latter, there is a bright red countdown number that keeps beating, and it is clear that the task is not yet complete.
There are 3 minutes to go.
Isn't it enough to just break a leg?
