Let's call them toeless people first.

After the explorers discovered the group of toedless people, the toedless people who jumped into the water naturally also found the dead or alive number of the jellyfish hanging in the middle.

They are attracted to the water like the shadows, passing through the jellyfish and the jellyfish's skin together, towards the middle jellyfish. They are more agile fish in the water than the shadows that have just left, swaying from side to side, swaying and flying over the snowflakes and debris that have also penetrated the jellyfish.

In just a few moments, the explorers saw more clearly the appearance of the naked, hairless, scale-free, newborn baby-like creature.

Gu Chuan's observation of the toeless man was the most careful of the three. He was keenly aware of the webbing between the fingers and toes of the toes.

"They should be very accustomed to swimming in the water...... And very adaptable to water. ”

Gu Chuan said as he remembered the toeless man who was also a fugitive who had given up on continuing to flee with him or Chu Yun. To this day, he often thinks of the toeless man. The features of the Toeless are too obvious to be exposed to the Sunset City guards. The future fate of the toeless man...... If he didn't encounter a special opportunity, he would probably be wandering between the mountains for the rest of his life, and if he was lucky, he might be able to find a peaceful retreat village that could accept him for the rest of his life.

When the young man thought of this, he thought of the current situation between him and Chu Yun, and turned his head to look at Chu Yun, who was also in front of the window.

Hatsuyun didn't move, and didn't seem to be thinking about anything.

The glassy walls reflected the girl's face, and her eyes were brighter in the night. Countless white clouds flew and flew over the water, and the jellyfish swarm continued to march forward along the arc of the crab cloud. The scaly clouds chased after the wind brought by the jellyfish, like flying stars in the sky.

After a while, Gu Chuan heard her say:

"Webbed...... Do you mean that thin, connected film? What is the function of webbing? ”

"That's right. Web...... Well, you can expand the contact area between the palm of the hand or the sole of the foot and the water, that is, increase the amount of water flowing, so that it may swim faster and more forcefully...... Probably so. ”

Gu Chuan recalled the knowledge of his previous life and replied uncertainly.

Chu Yun nodded thoughtfully, and then asked again with an astonishing intuition:

"Can they swim in the Netherworld? Or are they just swimming in a swarm of jellyfish? Jellyfish are connected to jellyfish, and body fluids are connected to body fluids, this is their river, and the thin layer of strange skin between the jellyfish is the direction in which their river turns? ”

Gu Chuan couldn't answer her. Of course, it can't.

They can only watch the toeless people swimming in the great river floating in the air, or spreading their wings and soaring above the clouds and dreams.

In the days that followed, the Toeless Man brought more trouble to the people on the ship than the shadows.

First of all, it should be explained that it is impossible for the explorers to open the door rashly to communicate with this group of unknown races, and they must maintain their original closed posture. And from their previous experience, they thought that the toedless people would swim around like shadows, either out of worship or out of fear, and they would not approach it.

The shadows had remained in such a detached posture that they had never moved on the glowing hull of the jellyfish swallowed in its abdomen.

But things are turning out to bother the explorers.

Unlike the group shadows, although the toedless people seem to be closer to the explorers, in other words...... That is, it is closer to the civilization on the edge of the Great Wilderness and the Great River, but it is a group of guys who are never at peace.

Or rather, they are extremely complex.

They do not have a uniform law, but can be roughly divided into two parts.

One part can be called the timid toeless, hovering slowly, sleeping in the water, floating in the water, waiting for the swarm of jellyfish to leave the crab cloud and reach their desired destination.

Even, this group of people may be a little afraid of death or life, and a little away from it.

But the other part is the unscrupulous toeless people, who, when they find and approach the Dead or Alive, begin to touch the hull of the Dead or Alive, then climb up, and finally rest on the hull of the Dead or Alive, like schools of fish in a coral reef.

They brushed the surface of the Dead or Alive, and they also rested on the train-like head at the forefront of the hull, and looked at the many lenses protected by transparent metal underneath, until their faces were reflected in the telescope dozens of times the size.

Others were even more daring, diving all the way and touching the waterwheel and sails, as if they had never seen the plant before, and tried to pull on it. The two plants, the waterwheel and the water sail, even though they were strange among ordinary mortals, could not resist the attack of this group of toeless people, and were torn apart a lot.

This is what makes explorers anxious the most. The growth of waterwheels and sails, in the regulation of the gear man, is not so delicate, but being wreaked havoc by the outside is also like setting fire to a ship, which is a dangerous thing.

Fortunately, immediately, perhaps luckily or unfortunately, there were toeless people who ate some waterwheels.

All the toeless people who ate the waterwheels had a serious illness of weakness. The cause, Gu Chuan didn't understand, was that kind of weak lying down and sleeping sick...... And it's just a guess. But the fact that toeless people are starting to move away from waterwheels and sails is a fact that catches their eyes.

And what Gu Chuan didn't expect was still to come.

In the days that followed, when he was washing, eating, exercising, carrying, studying, or cleaning and tidying up the entire ship, he could see a toeless man lying on the hull through the window.

People on the outside can't see the sight inside and may just think it's a big rock.

Probably because of this, they have no scruples.

So the people inside can clearly see the life of the toeless people in the outside world, see their more detailed body organs, see their excretory holes spray a disgusting sparse liquid, see the small holes in their bodies drain sweaty dirt, see them smear these filth on the other side of the single-sided transparent glass-like wall, as if gesturing with some language, and see them doing things on the hull of the ship that will allow them to reproduce.

And the process of this thing, unexpectedly, is similar to the process of human beings, which is a kind of sexual reproduction.

Their skin is pale and close to bluish, and some of them have erythema on the surface of the toeless body, and some of the toeless people do not have on the surface, which may be a distinction between their gender.

All the most primitive life is displayed without omission outside the window that can be seen by the naked eye, so that the optical opposite sex of the wall can be used as a one-way window suddenly becomes an intractable torture.

And the most unbearable thing for the young man is that he seems to have become a voyeur hiding in a stone that no one knows, peeping into the most ordinary life of a group of primitive people - eating, drinking, and Lazar is indescribable.

When you get up, you can see their excrement slowly flowing down the hull of the ship when you look at the wall.

While overhauling the ship's facilities, a look at the walls might reveal a few toeless figures making a splash, doing what they thought was a "big reef" and making him red-faced.

Or when they are reading, they look at the wall, and maybe there are a few toeless people who don't know what they are doing and rubbing some of their organs against the wall shell, and this friction may make them feel excited.

This kind of depression was enough to make him think about turning off the light transmission function of the gear man's wall.

But he told Zaiyi, who just asked him with a confused face:

"But in that case, we won't be able to know the movements of these toeless people, and we won't be able to react in time, right? I think it's a good thing to open the light......"

Jae-sin did not understand the idea of flesh and blood life, and in his eyes, these were just natural phenomena that had yet to be solved.

When the young man heard this, he came to his senses and immediately realized the insignificant shyness and pretentiousness of civilized society contained in his thoughts. The tempering of a long wild life did not make him completely lose the reserve of these civilizations.

He was a little ashamed, but he wanted to talk, so he chose to share his feelings with Chu Yun:

"I feel a little overwhelmed by this."

The girl's hair grew faster than the young man's. Hatsuun, who is wearing short hair, looks quite like a handsome and extraordinary beautiful young man, but the softness and elegance of the face that belongs to the female, as well as the bulging breasts, all penetrate the mystery of male and female distinction, and strongly prove her beauty as a woman.

She listened to the young man's words, covered her mouth, and frowned like a mother.

"But, Chuan, everyone can, everyone can pee, I think these are ordinary things, right? Do you want animals, including you, not to poop and pee? I think ......"

Chu Yun thought about it, shook his body, thought seriously, and said uneasily:

"It may be a little scary......"

She dares to touch everything, no matter or urine.

A true angel throws the question back to a mortal with moral insights.

Gu Chuan choked suddenly, the young man at that time may have been a little helpless, and in his heart, his face may have turned red with a sudden shame.

At that time, the young man himself did not know why, perhaps in astonishment or embarrassment, and burst out laughing:

"Haha, yes, I think you're quite right, for animals, normal metabolism can be regarded as a sign of health. And metabolism, itself...... It is a sign of life. ”

Hatsuun didn't know why he was laughing, but he did, and she laughed along with the boy.

They discuss topics that have nothing to do with toeless people.

Toeless people continue to go their separate ways, continuing to survive and evolve over a long period of time. But their behavior, the explorers are nervous and extra concerned.

A few days later, Zai Yan noticed that they seemed to be arguing.

The shadows are very peaceful...... Although the explorers do not know whether the shadows are living or not, and they do not know whether the shadows communicate or not, judging from the appearance, the shadows have always been ordinary from entering the jellyfish to leaving the jellyfish.

The quarrel of the toeless people is just a sight to be.

At first, they just got together, maybe talking, maybe not talking, the sound was too far away to be heard through the wall, only the movement of their lips could be seen.

But immediately after, toeless people start hitting each other's bodies with their arms or bodies.

"Could this also be some kind of intimate etiquette......?"

Gu Chuan wants to maintain an objective judgment that is not solidified as much as possible.

Soon, however, there were toeless people covered in bruises, and it was difficult for the explorers to think that it was something other than a quarrel.

The water waves began to vibrate because of their movements, and several toeless voices were hoarse, mixed into two factions, talking non-stop inside the jellyfish's body.

By that time, the drifting swarm of air jellyfish had broken away from the range of the crab cloud and was passing over a large whale cloud. In the arc light of the sky and the lights of the ship's fire, it looks like a cloud of white snow, flying across the water.

There was a spotless, toeless man swimming in the water, trying to advance into another jellyfish's body.

But it was immediately pulled back by another spotless toeless man, who was probably arguing fiercely and ending up scuffling. Suddenly, a stain of bright red blood flew out of the water.

The blood spreads out in the jellyfish's body fluids.

The violence left onlookers in stark.

"Well played!"

Only Mr. Dandan, who had just come in and was about to change shifts, pushed his sleeping box, opened his little eyes wide, and became excited:

"Fight harder!"

It is not a big deal to see the excitement, Gu Chuan guessed that it would like this group of toeless people to rush into the Death or Life number, and then kill or eat it, so as to save it from continuing to be such an egg.

"You're savage."

Jae-sin is not very happy with Mr. Dandan's performance.

Mr. Dandan didn't care, and the god babbled:

"If you are dissatisfied, you have to vent it, otherwise people will be suffocated, and their bodies will die, and it will be good to change them again. If the spirit is suffocated, then it cannot be saved, and the trauma will always exist. ”

As they spoke, several wounded toeless men were thrown over the hull, blood from their wounds smeared on the excrement-contaminated hull.

One of them, without red spots, was very close to where the exhaust chamber hatch was.

The young man's mind came alive.

He said:

"Why don't we catch a toeless man and try it?"

Neither Mr. Dandannor Hatsuyun had an idea. Only Zai Yi was a little hesitant, he felt that since they were on the jellyfish, they would go down sooner or later, so there was no need to make contact.

Gu Chuan didn't seem to see Zaiyan's hesitation, and continued:

"It's also an answer to a biological question!"

Jae-sin stopped talking, and he felt that he was becoming less like a cogwheel man...... He didn't know why, so he could only watch as the two strangers went to the exhaust chamber, while he and Mr. Dandan stayed outside in the main observation room.

Mr. Dandan looked at this lion-headed gear man for a long time, and wanted to talk to him to pass the time of eternal boredom.

Zai Yan ignored it.

Mr. Dandan was a little upset, and said:

"If you're not happy that the two of them caught a toeless specimen, then just tell them about it, okay? I think they'll take your advice. ”

Jae-sin just shook his head.

He has been following the crowd all his life, and he has been hardened for so long.

And that time, he completely distanced himself from everything he was familiar with.

As they spoke, the hatch of the exhaust chamber had quietly risen into a small opening, and the young man in the hood carefully probed his head. The smell of the body of water, which was full of the smell of toeless people, was kept out of the dome. He stared at the nearest toeless man in the water, reached out with both hands, grabbed the toeless man's slippery skin, and jerked it into the hatch.

Then, the hatch closed.

His actions were crisp enough, but the hints from the rise and fall of the water still woke up the group of toeless people who were arguing.

They began to shout at the boat.

The young man thought he had done a bad job, but the toeless people didn't realize that it was a man who had dragged their companion away.

The sound of the toeless people shouting at that time, Gu Chuan only learned their gist later:

"Anafanta, eaten by the monster who woke up!"
