Jina's face suddenly turned red, she held her throat and took two steps back. White smoke even appeared above her head, as if she had swallowed a piece of charcoal, and her expression was a little painful.
"Gina, what's wrong with you? Are you burned? Or are you choking?" Mag was also shocked. He quickly put down the knife in his hand, took a glass of ice water, thought about it, and threw a pinch into it. Haiyan handed it to Jina.
"GuluGulu~"
Jina took the water glass and drank it in a few big gulps.
Vaguely, Mag seemed to hear a hissing sound, like water extinguishing coals of fire.
Jina turned the water glass away and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Her flushed face was covered with sweat and she looked satisfied.
At that moment, she felt as if she had swallowed a ball of fire, burning down her throat. The seawater stored in her body was almost emptied. The last glass of ice water was like nectar from the sky, burning the ball of fire. The fire was extinguished instantly.
In just a short moment, it seemed like a hundred years had passed, and the hearty feeling actually made her a little intoxicated.
"So cool!"
At this moment, she had only one feeling in her heart.
Even when I was under the sea and soaking in hot springs in the crater, I didn't feel this feeling.
After taking a breath to calm herself down, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on her face.
"Did I just breathe air?!!"
Jina was completely stunned and tried to take a breath again, her heart suddenly beating loudly.
For so many years, the Lantistes have been unable to solve the problem of how to breathe in the air, which is also a shackle that prevents the Lantistes from returning to the mainland.
With the efforts of generations over thousands of years, the Landiste tribe has found an alternative, which is to let the tribesmen practice water storage techniques, store seawater in their bodies that far exceeds what their bodies need, and then complete the process of breathing in their bodies. process.
Essentially, Landist did not solve the problem of breathing, but used a trick to allow the mermaids to look like humans and live on land in a short period of time.
But this limitation is very big. Jina is already the best at Landist except for the high priest, but she can still only stay in the air for three hours, and then she must return to the sea to rest. and refill water.
And in the process, her strength quickly dropped from level eight in the sea to level four, and continued to decrease as time went on.
If this problem is not solved, even if Lantis can return to the mainland, it will only be a weak race that will be oppressed and ravaged by other races.
Landiste has worked hard for this for thousands of years and tried his best, but he can't solve it.
But now Jina can actually breathe in the air? ! !
Moreover, after no longer needing to maintain breathing, her strength has returned to level eight, which is no different from that in the sea.
Jina's mind was completely confused, and she even felt like she was in a trance. Could it be that she was still sleeping and hadn't woken up?
She grabbed Mag's hand and pressed it on her face. The warm feeling came clearly, making her sober up.
"I feel it! It's real! I can really breathe the air!"
Jina was surprised and happy, almost jumping up with excitement.
Mag looked at Jina, who looked as if she had swallowed charcoal just now, and in the next moment she was as surprised as if she had found money when she went out, with a strange expression. What kind of trouble is this?
"Jina, are you okay?" Mag asked tentatively. If she became a fool because of eating a piece of mud shell, then he would be guilty of a big crime.
"Thank you! Mr. Mag!!!" Jina jumped up and hugged Mag, saying gratefully.
She finally knew why God chose Mr. McGonagall, because he has the ability to give Landist new life. He is Landist's savior!
"Which one is this from?" Mag raised his hand and looked at Jina, who was wrapped around her body like an octopus, a little confused.
But he could feel Jina's excitement, because the body that was close to him had already transmitted her rapid heartbeat to him along with the softness.
After a while, Mag got Jina off her body. Jina pointed at the mud shell with a red face and said, "Mr. Mag, can I eat this?"
She was 100% sure that this change occurred after eating the fiery eggshell. Although she could already breathe a certain amount of air, there was still a gap between breathing in sea water. She wanted to know if she could eat more eggshells. Can it make breathing easier?
"Actually, this is the dish I want you to try..." Mag pointed at the beggar chicken and said helplessly. After trying it carefully, it turned out that the mud shell was crooked from the moment Jina picked it up.
"But..." Although the smell of chicken is tempting, Jina's heart is all about the eggshells at this time. She wants to know if she can breathe as smoothly as she does under the sea after eating enough eggshells. , this is really important.
Mag guessed that Jina likes to eat the hard mud shells, maybe she has some kind of pica. After all, there are even people in this world who like to eat iron nails and glass, so eating some mud shells doesn't seem to be a big deal, so she nodded. He said: "If you really like it, you can take it upstairs for a supper later. Now try the beggar's chicken first. If it gets cold, you will lose your soul."
The Chinese kitchen knife made a few cuts on the beggar chicken, and Mag picked up a chicken leg and handed it to Jina.
The roasted golden and crispy chicken skin was still glistening with oil, the chicken was steaming, and the strong aroma of chicken came to her nostrils. Jina, who was staring at the eggshell, couldn't help but turn her eyes back, and hesitantly reached out to take the chicken leg. .
"Eat." Mag made a gesture of eating.
Jina held the chicken leg and took a bite into her mouth. The crispy chicken skin was gently bit open, and the crispy and tender chicken melted in her mouth. The tenderness and deliciousness of the chicken bloomed instantly, and the taste buds on the tongue flickered. The chicken was disarmed. It was too late to chew more, and before it could gain a firm foothold on the tip of the tongue, it slid into the throat like a naughty chicken.
Tender and without residue, with a unique flavor, this unexpected deliciousness made Jina suddenly involved in the whirlpool of deliciousness.
The tender chicken is like a silent spring rain that moistens everything, gently soothing the throat that was previously irritated by the hot eggshell.
As soon as the chicken entered the belly, it turned into a warm current and penetrated into the limbs and bones.
If the scalding eggshell before was like a heated sauna, the delicious and tender chicken now was like a massage, gentle and comfortable, relaxing the previously tense muscles.
"Wow!"
“This tastes incredible!”
Jina looked happy, feeling as if she was lying among soft clouds, and her whole body was relaxed.
He didn't even notice that his breathing gradually became much smoother.
"You actually secretly ate midnight snacks behind my back!"
A somewhat angry voice sounded!
