Chapter 20. He calls you "prophet"
After a period of dizziness, Li Mengshan and the others were sent to an open field.
Looking up, two mermaid statues were staring at them intently. Looking past the mermaid figure, you can see a large number of fish swimming aimlessly above. That's right, this should be the merfolk forbidden land.
The chest is dull, the air is thin and damp. However, it is the degree to which you can breathe.
After walking around curiously, Li Mengshan returned to Fang Qingyun's side and asked next to him, "Hey! Fang Qingyun, do mermaids also breathe with their lungs? ”
"That's nature," Fang Qingyun turned the fuselage, "Although gills have evolved, the main respiratory organ of mermaids is still the lungs. You go and take a closer look at the sides of Gia's neck, whether there are two rows of seams. ”
Hearing this, Li Mengshan turned his head and looked at Jiya. Sure enough, there were two rows of slits on her neck.
"That's their gills," Fang Qingyun continued, "Normally, the gills of mermaids are closed, and they only open when they are in the water. Because gills have not evolved completely, they are not accustomed to using them. It takes about an hour to rise to the surface with gills and then breathe in your lungs for a few minutes. ”
After saying this, Fang Qingyun suddenly looked at Ji Ya, "This is also the reason why the sightings of mermaids in the early days all occurred on the surface of the water. ”
"In recent years, as civilians have become more and more exposed to subspecies, governments have been considering giving up all subspecies. Look at it! In less than two years, there will definitely be a big move on it. ”
"Then why did you hide it before?" , Li Mengshan wondered.
"In order not to cause a commotion," Fang Qingyun sighed, "The physical fitness of the subhuman race is much stronger than that of humans. The adult subhuman race can be compared to a cultivator of the human Qi Realm with a physical body alone. In addition, there are some subhuman races that are extremely aggressive, such as the East Asian wolf and the South American lion...... In the past, when there were not many of them, they were all suppressed with guns. ”
After that, neither of them discussed the matter anymore and chose to remain silent.
On the other hand, Fang Qingyun did not say it explicitly, that is, the classification of subhuman races. There have been two schools of thought in the academic community on this issue. One school of thought believes that the sub-human race is a side branch of mankind during the great tribulation 10,000 years ago, and should be within the scope of human beings. The other school believes that the subhuman race is a different species born from humans after the transformation of demon beasts, and should belong to demon beasts.
These two factions will not let anyone else, and they have been fighting for nearly a hundred years. Judging from the recent performance, it is about to fight for the result.
Gia on the side looked very excited and was constantly swimming. Three months! She's finally back.
Just as she stepped out of the formation, a dog barking suddenly sounded, and then several fish-headed dogs similar to Xiaozao, but much larger than Xiaozao, rushed in the distance.
"Huh?" Before Jiya could react, the water barbarian dogs had already rushed in front of her.
At that moment, a small figure suddenly popped out behind her, it was Xiaozao. It bared its teeth and roared, desperately standing in front of Gia.
When the animals saw this, the fish had a strange expression on their faces, and they actually barked like a mockery in their throats. They don't bother with Gia anymore, they just bite at the algae.
In a few clicks, Xiaozao's body became scarred and drenched in blood. But it didn't back down, it just tore at its kind several times its size.
"Algae!" , When he saw the wound that Xiao Algae could see deeply, Jiya's eyes instantly turned red. She slapped her face forward, "Smack!" "Just like that, the two ends of the leader turned into a blood mist.
The exploding corpses fell on the rest of the water dogs. Smelling the pungent smell of blood, the remaining ones didn't dare to step forward, they screamed and ran backwards.
"What can you do?" , Jiya, whose face was full of tears, carefully picked up the little algae covered in blood, and took out the medicinal powder from the space bead to coat it.
These things all happened between lightning and flint, and by the time Li Mengshan and Fang Qingyun reacted, there was already a pool of blood on the ground.
Li Mengshan swallowed his saliva, he didn't understand, but it didn't mean he couldn't understand. "Can I do it?" , he asked secretly in his heart. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head, no, now he doesn't have this strength.
Fang Qingyun was also stunned, there was a bunch of garbled characters on his display. She didn't use the aura! Is the strength of the physical body that just so strong? After that, you can pay it back!
There was so much commotion here that there was a commotion outside. After a while, a group of merfolk with spears and short sticks swam over.
The leader is a middle-aged mermaid with strong muscles and a beard. He swam in with a short knife in his hand, and the moment he saw Gia, he suddenly shook his body.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the merfolk behind him, and he stepped forward slightly, shouting with an eager face. "Huh?"
At this time, Jiya, who was wiping her face with snot and tears, suddenly heard someone calling her. After raising his head, he saw the middle-aged mermaid. She exclaimed aggrievedly, "Babble! ”
It was this babbling that made the mermaid at the head throw away the short knife violently, and rushed to Gia like a fly, opening his arms and embracing her into his arms. Slowly, softly comforting, Gia's cries grew louder and louder.
Someone in the group of merfolk in the back began to secretly wipe their tears.
The above two sentences, let alone Li Mengshan, Fang Qingyun didn't understand them. The speed of speech was too fast, and the machine didn't have time to translate. However, even if they didn't translate, they understood the meaning.
After about half an hour, Gia had cried enough, and she leaned on the shoulder of the middle-aged mermaid and sobbed quietly.
"Gia, where the hell have you been? We almost went to war with those guys up there! The mermaid whispered.
"This ...... It's a long story...... Hmm", Gia said intermittently.
She spent a few minutes explaining to the middle-aged mermaid what had happened. After that, the mermaid frowned and said, "So, we are wrong about those people?"
"Leave that alone, Dad, I've brought my friends back. They helped me get back here," Gia pointed back.
Gia's father got up and looked at it, and saw one man and one goal in the formation.
When he saw Fang Qingyun, he was slightly stunned, and then nodded towards Fang Qingyun. When he went to see Li Mengshan again, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Prophet! Is that you? ”
The words fell, like a pebble falling into the lake, and the group of mermaids behind suddenly exploded.
Li Mengshan only felt that the mermaid in front of him seemed to be saying something to himself, and he looked at Fang Qingyun.
On Fang Qingyun's display screen, there was a big question mark, and he was just about to speak: "That mermaid is talking about ......"
Suddenly, the formation under their feet flashed red. Before Fang Qingyun could finish speaking, their eyes turned black as if their heads had been slapped, and they fainted forward. Before closing his eyes, Li Mengshan saw the middle-aged mermaid swimming towards him.
When I woke up again, I was already overhead the familiar stone wall of the inverted hanging pyramid.
"What did the mermaid say?" , Li Mengshan, who woke up not long ago, asked anxiously.
"He called you a prophet ......", Fang Qingyun told him the answer with a blank face.
