At the beginning, the water monster only showed half of its body, and Ye Xiaochen didn't see its full picture. After it completely came out of the whirlpool, Ye Xiaochen really saw its true face.

The upper body of this guy is not much different from that of a human, the ears are like two fins, its arms and face are covered with some black and blue scales, its claws are sharp and sharp, and the lower body is a long fish tail, about three or four meters in length. In the two eyes, there was a faint glow.

"Bastard, let us go!" Soon some fishermen struggled desperately, shouting, "If we continue like this, we will all die!" ”

"I don't know if you're going to die, but as long as I'm okay, I'll be fine." Ye Xiaochen looked indifferent, and shook the murder knife in his hand, "Besides, what does it have to do with me if you garbage live or die?" I wish you had died sooner, but now it's not bad to see you being eaten by this thing. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, with a strange scream, the water monster immediately rushed towards him. Ye Xiaochen turned around and found that the water monster was like a snake, crawling on the ground with its long tail, and the speed was not slow, even faster than ordinary poisonous snakes! Ye Xiaochen was slightly surprised in his heart, but the movements on his body did not slow down in the slightest, and he almost dodged the claws of the water monster, but after that, the water monster suddenly turned around, its tail raised, and a divine dragon swung its tail and swept Ye Xiaochen out.

After receiving this unexpected blow, with Ye Xiaochen's strength, he felt that his qi and blood were surging a little at this moment. He didn't expect that the strength of the other party would be so great, it was even more ferocious than those Jianghu Supreme Elders who struck with all their might.

But that's all, although the water monster's attack is extremely powerful, it is still within his tolerance range, far from the point where it will hurt him. He was only knocked a few meters away before he immediately stabilized his body and stood on the beach with his feet dead.

It was a clear summer night, and the moonlight was so bright tonight that visibility on the beach was relatively high. Before, the water monster had its back to him, and he didn't see the true face of the water monster. Now the monster turned around and was facing the moonlight, and he just happened to see the bulging peak on its chest.

"It turned out to be a mother."

The water monster said coldly: "Who are you to be able to take my blow." ”

"So you can talk to people, I thought I couldn't communicate at all." Ye Xiaochen scratched his head, it seemed that he was not wrong, this water monster was really a mother, "I don't care if you want to fight, it's just that I don't like to fight you for no reason." Even if you want to fight, at least give me a reason, right? ”

"Because you're a human being." The water monster spoke again, colder than before, and there was even a thick light of hatred flashing in its pupils, "You humans, none of them are good, you are like all the fishermen in this fishing village, you deserve to die!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the water monster struck again. It's just that this time it wasn't a simple physical attack, a huge column of water suddenly surged on the sea, approaching Ye Xiaochen. Ye Xiaochen's figure flashed, turned into a black lightning bolt and disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, he quickly waved the murder knife and directly cut off the water column with one sword. After the water column was cut off, seawater suddenly emerged from the sea, condensing continuously in the air, and finally formed spears that flew towards Ye Xiaochen again.

Ye Xiaochen also realized that it was useless to use a simple physical attack against water, no matter how strong he was, after breaking the water column and water gun, they would reunite and become the weapons of the water monster again. And now, the water monster's attacks are wave after wave, either water guns or water bombs, and they must dodge all the time, and there is no way to make a move. One of the water bombs hit a reef, which instantly turned into countless fragments.

Sou!

A blue-purple light shot out from Ye Xiaochen's hand and flew in the direction of the water monster. Seeing this, the latter directly mobilized the surrounding seawater and formed a barrier around him. However, that ray of light could easily pierce her barrier, and even brought smoke from the evaporation of seawater in the air. Seeing this, the water monster hurriedly dodged, otherwise if she received this blow, her combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced.

"How could a weak human possess such power to be able to break my barrier in an instant." The water monster was deeply shocked, "No, this power is not at all something that humans on the ground can have, what kind of person are you!" ”

When Ye Xiaochen heard this, he immediately cried and laughed: "Eldest sister, I don't seem to have said that I am a human being." ”

After saying that, he took off his mask, and by the way, he temporarily raised the bangs on his forehead, revealing his true appearance.

"You don't look like a human being." The fire in the water monster's eyes dissipated a little, but there was still a little vigilance in his gaze when he looked at Ye Xiaochen, "So, you are not in the same group as those guys on the shore?" ”

"Of course not." Ye Xiaochen said, "How could I be in league with this group of scumbags, to be honest, I just wanted to kill them, who knew that you suddenly appeared here, so I didn't succeed." By the way, what the hell are you? ”

The water monster said, "If you talk about race alone, I am a kind of water tribe. In fact, the name of my race is also recorded in the books of your human race. That's right, in your book of Humans on the Shore, we are called mermaids. ”

Ye Xiaochen was taken aback. Sharks? The mysterious race that everyone has wanted to find for so many years? He had been looking through the library in the villa, which contained information about some of the location races, including the merman. There were also a lot of news about capturing the living merman or the corpse of the merman before, although he paid attention to it, but he didn't pay attention to it. Because most of the stuff on the Internet is not very reliable. Even if it were true, most of the caught-foots were corpses, not living at all. Therefore, many people have never seen what a real merman looks like, and they didn't expect to meet one for him today.

"Since you're not from this fishing village, why are you meddling?"

"You think I want to?" Ye Xiaochen said angrily, "If it weren't for the fact that two innocent tourists were about to die at their hands, do you think I would be nosy?" Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, why are you targeting the fishermen in this neighborhood, what really happened here back then? ”

The water monster gave him a gloomy look, but there was not much malice, and then she looked at the fishermen who were bound by vines and could not break free, her eyes were full of anger and hatred: "What happened back then, didn't they tell you at all?" That's right, how can a scum like them, who are despicable and shameless, and who will do anything for their own selfish desires, honestly admit what they have done? Since you don't know, then I might as well tell you that it is because they killed my son more than ten years ago! ”

"Your son?" Ye Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and blurted out: "Is it the boy who was killed by someone more than ten years ago?" ”

"That's right." "Many years ago, our mermaid family lived in the waters near Huaxia. At that time, we were basically at peace with humans. Even if we happened to show ourselves on the sea, humans at that time would not be our enemies at all. However, after a long time, for some unknown reason, humans began to hunt and kill our people on a large scale. Calculate the time, it should be in the Spring and Autumn Period of your China. Our strength is too strong for humans, and our ancestors were very kind, even if humans were enemies of us at first, we adopted a tolerant attitude, even avoiding the sea where we used to live, and did not come into contact with humans. ”

"One day, we finally became completely disillusioned with humanity. Because of the connivance and forbearance without a bottom line, those damned humans became more and more rampant, and countless clansmen died at their hands. It was from that time that we intended to take an offensive attitude towards humanity, and in some cases, we even thought of setting off a tsunami that would leave all humanity close to the shore without a place to be buried. However, our ancestors once mentioned that human beings are not all bad people, and there are also people with pure hearts among them. More than 1,000 years ago, the ancestors were in a great crisis, and the whole person was almost seriously injured and dying. It was a kind human at that time who saved him, and the two became friends because of it. It's just that because we can't leave the sea for too long, the ancestors have to leave that person and go back to the sea. ”

Ye Xiaochen asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"That person's name is Li Shangyin."

Ye Xiaochen was shocked, the ancestor of the merman clan was once friends with the famous poet of the Tang Dynasty! Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that the poem "Jin Se" written by Li Shangyin, in which there is a sentence "There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon", which is about the scene of the merman appearing from the sea and crying at night. Could it be that Li Shangyin wrote this poem just after saving the ancestor of the merman and seeing him leave?

If that's the case, it makes sense. At that time, the people of the Tang Dynasty basically had never seen the merman, so Li Shangyin used this obscure means to describe this personal experience and experience.

"Now there are less than 20,000 of us mermaids left. And all of this is caused by you damned humans! Speaking of this, the face of the female merman, who had finally calmed down, became fierce again, "They are ruthless in killing my children, then I must make them pay a terrible price!" ”
