"Ahem...... Water ......"

In a moment of silence, Shenping, who had just returned, quickly came to his senses.

"Elder......"

He struggled to get up, and Lan'er and Yingluo hurriedly went up to help him.

"Thank you......"

Although he was in a hurry to say it, he didn't forget to thank him.

"Elder, when the Luo water was flooding, I went into the water to save people, and I saw ...... in the water."

He scratched his head uncertainly, hesitated and said, "I seem to have seen the Fish-Man ......"

"I see...... They all have fish tails. ”

He affirmed.

Perhaps because he was too excited, he began to cough again, and Yingluo hurriedly handed over the water glass.

"Thank you. ”

Gollum drank two large sips of warm tea, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

"What happened later?" Lan'er asked with her chin in her hands, crouching beside his bed, with a curious expression.

"Children, don't mess around here, have you done your homework today?"

This question really made Lan'er face bitter immediately, and her delicate eyebrows drooped.

The elder waved his hand and chased away the reluctant children.

"Elder, I think we should remind all of our fellow citizens who are about to join the world that the Fish-People are no longer our allies. ”

Shenping said hurriedly.

"At that time, I was eager to save people, and I didn't come forward to say hello, which was indeed rude. ”

"But those fishmen, when they saw me swim closer, they couldn't help but say that all kinds of spells came out together, and they fought together, and I also saved two mortals in my hands, and I couldn't defend it, and I was injured at once. ”

"They're a sneak attack! If I fight face to face, I won't lose to them!"

He said unconvinced.

"Fish-people?"

"Are you sure you're right?"

Elder Jingren was surprised.

"Sharks have always been kind to others, never involved in the rights and wrongs of the mortal world, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to attack others. ”

"But they do all have fish tails, a little far apart, but this one is too obvious, I can't be mistaken!"

"Moreover, I have been injured by them, and they still do not give up, and they keep chasing and beating me. ”

"They swam so fast underwater that I ended up throwing the two mortals on a high ground and escaping by land. ”

Shenping said aggrievedly.

Elder Jingren kept brushing his beard whenever he was embarrassed, and this time he couldn't stop grabbing his beard, Yingluo was worried about his beard, so he had to catch baldness if he went on like this.

"The world is going down, and the etiquette is collapsing......"

Elder Yasuto tugged at his beard and began to think in pieces.

"Your injuries are not serious, I was questioning before, how could you be injured by such a superficial spell, but now I understand......"

"Shark ...... I can't really think of any reason for ......"

"They've been away from the world for a long time, and now they're ...... What is it for?"

"Could it be that they misunderstood that you were going to hurt someone, so they hurt you?"

Xie Daozhi asked.

"It's impossible, although I didn't greet them, but we are all underwater, even if we shout, they can't hear it, but if I have malicious intentions, I can just shoot directly, and will I stupidly wait for them to hit me first?"

"How far apart were you?"

"About 20 to 50 meters......

Shenping hesitated for a long time before giving an approximate distance.

Xie Daozhi nodded.

"Elder, we should inform the children of the clan first, and we should strengthen our vigilance when we enter the WTO in the future. ”

"Well, you're right. ”

"You two, please also invite first, our clan will have a meeting to discuss the follow-up work, you are not suitable to stay. ”

The elder ordered the eviction of the guest again.

"Excuse me, where exactly are the places where you met those mermaids, can you tell us?"

Yingluo asked Shenping, who shifted his inquiring gaze to the Elder.

The elder nodded, and Shenping told her the name of a village.

"Just outside the village, the place is easy to find, there are no neighboring villages around, and there is a river in the village, and that river is a tributary of Luoshui, which is the cause of this disaster. ”

His expression was gloomy, apparently blaming himself for not saving more people.

"Thank you, if we have any clues, we will write to tell you. ”

Yingluo copied the name of the place in a small notebook, and together with the list of talents, carefully put it away, and put it in her close-fitting pocket.

The two left the village of the gods, and when the wind flew away, Xie Daozhi asked her, "Why did you remember to go to those mermaids?"

"Uh...... I think there must be a reason for something abnormal, and finding this reason may explain more things. ”

"After all, we don't have any other clues right now. ”

Yingluo pulled Xie Daozhi and landed under the statue of the three-legged crow, she stroked the feet of the three-legged crow, and asked softly, "Do you know what's going on?"

The sun is about to set, maybe the three-legged black also went home to sleep, the cold statue was quiet, and there was no response at all.

She closed her eyes and tried to sense its spiritual power, but found nothing.

Unlike last time, this time the three-legged black didn't seem to have any intention of dealing with her.

She sat down and leaned against the wall, discouraged.

"My head is a mess, everything is messed up, it's like ......"

"It's like colorful threads are intertwined with each other, and there are threads everywhere, but no matter which thread you try to untie them, you can't untie them. ”

"By the way, Brother Xie, Shark Ji is also one of the sharks. ”

She asked suddenly.

"Yes. ”

Xie Daozhi nodded.

"In that case, the merman is also quite powerful. ”

Yingluo's heart was a little drumming.

"Don't worry, although the merman is Xiaoyong, he is not particularly good at spells, and the mana of the merman can be regarded as one of the best masters in the merman clan. ”

"But since humans have occupied almost all river basins, the mermaids have avoided them far away, either hiding in the deep sea, or hiding under inaccessible glaciers like the mermaids, and I haven't heard of them for a long, long time. ”

"I'm sorry ......"

Yingluo said subconsciously.

"It was a long, long time ago......"

Xie Daozhi explained.

"In ancient times, sharks and humans did fight, but no matter how brave the sharks were, no matter how strong their spells were, they couldn't compete with empty-handed humans. ”

"Why?"

"I think maybe it's because the merman can't go to the depths of the water without a riverside, and the human race will become extinct if there is no water source. ”

"The human side is fighting for survival, and there is no way to retreat, so they can only do everything, and the merman finally chose to retreat, perhaps because he understands this. ”

"I see......"

Although she still felt very unfair, Xie Daozhi said this, and she seemed to understand.

However, from another point of view, in order to survive, can humans encroach on other people's territory at will?

She had this thought faintly in her heart, but she subconsciously threw it away.
