There were more than ten Atlans competing at one time, but there were only five lights at the end, which meant that if you couldn't get the lights, you would be eliminated even if you swam to the finish line. With the high priest giving the order, Atlan on the starting line Everyone exerted their strength together and swam a few steps away. A mermaid with blond hair and blue body was already leading the way, leaving the Atalans behind him far behind!
Following the blond mermaid was a long, flat Atlan that looked like a fish. It was also extremely fast and nimbly shuttled through the obstacle circles. Among the contestants, I even saw An Atlan man wearing a tortoise shell. The huge tortoise shell did not slow down his speed at all. The little rocket head had enough energy and was hovering in the last two positions. This was the beginning of a race. It was a game that was destined to be won or lost... I felt a little bit sad when I saw it, so I swam out of the cave and went to other places in the square to see what other activities were going on.
In addition to traditional competitions on Boxing Day, Atlan people also have a custom of exchanging gifts. On this day, Atlan people will take out the gifts they usually make or treasure and give them to each other to enhance differences. The friendship between races, and this custom has also spawned a rigid competition. Whoever receives the most gifts on Boxing Day will be the most prestigious person in Atlan and can represent the people of Atlan and enter the temple to discuss matters. .
The original intentions of the rules are good, but after being passed down for a long time, the taste has inevitably changed. In the short period of time in the reef cave, I saw a small group of mermaids delivering gifts one by one. When I asked Little Rocket, He told me that these are the followers of the Tentacle Family. They usually hang out in various public places in Atlan, doing favors for the elders of the Tentacle Family. They are waiting for Boxing Day to elect the elders of the Tentacle Family to enter the temple as representatives of the people. . At this moment, I saw the group of followers again, already holding a lot of gifts in their hands, and there was a devil fish following behind, and their backs were also full of gifts. This Boxing Day, this tentacle elder became the representative thing It seems to be a sure thing... I shook my head, this kind of thing happens everywhere and cannot be changed... Where there are gatherings, there will be more differences.
The attention of most Atlan people was drawn to the flying circle competition in the middle. The nearby activity venues looked relatively deserted. On the rocky ground of the square, a man wearing reading glasses and a mustache The turtle was sitting on the reef with his legs crossed and a piece of seaweed in his mouth. Behind him was a small fence made of shells, in which were placed various kinds of orbs and minerals, neatly arranged one by one. They were all lined up, and there was a small frame in front of them. I was not attracted by the orbs, but by the crossbow next to the old turtle, which made me unable to take my eyes away. The crossbow seemed to be made of a whole large fish. It was made of a similar skull, and there were a few fishbone-shaped crossbow arrows hanging next to it. When the old turtle saw me coming, he didn't make any movement. He just raised his chin and said to me, "Would you like to play?"
Isn’t this the shooting game in the children’s playground when I was a kid? My interest, which I felt dull just now, was suddenly piqued. I touched the crossbow arrow and put it into the crossbow at the prompt of the old turtle. I aimed at the small basket in front of a blue ore and shot it out. My precise calculation showed that this arrow was bound to hit, but I ignored the buffering force in the sea water. The crossbow arrow flew crookedly to the side less than two meters away. The passing murloc child used a lobster-like I covered my mouth with my palms, and the blisters from laughing rushed to my face...
"I'm just trying! Do it again!"
This time... it was a little better. The fish-man child's blisters became even bigger when he laughed. He swam away with a slurp. I picked up the crossbow arrow that floated to the side. I'm going to be serious this time!
"Sir, from the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, which one do you want?" Qinghe came out of the reef cave at some time and found this place. He looked at the arrows scattered on the ground without being hit by a crossbow and asked me sincerely.
I looked back and saw that the fish-man kid just now had brought a bunch of fish-man kids and they were all lying on the fence behind me. Could it be that the scene where I just missed every shot was being observed? !
Qinghe picked up the crossbow arrow and threw it away. The crossbow arrow landed steadily in the small basket in front of the blue ore. The old turtle lifted his reading glasses and used a fishhook to grab the ore and handed it to Qinghe. In the hands of the crane, Qinghe turned his hand and gave it to me.
"I wanted to give it to you...I think this color suits you very well..."
"Send it to me?" Qinghe's expression was very surprised, and he smiled.
"Yes, Boxing Day!"
"Then I should also give something to the people of the early Yuan Dynasty!" Qinghe glanced at the old turtle's stall, then picked up all the crossbow arrows on the ground and scattered them casually. The crossbow arrows were as steady as if they were equipped with GPS positioning navigation. He found a small basket and went in obediently!
"Wow!" The eyes of the surrounding fishmen children widened, and they swung their fish tails quickly, looking at Qinghe with admiration. Even the old turtle that seemed to grow on the rocks bounced off the rocks. , took off his reading glasses and inspected the small baskets one by one.
"No need to look, it's all right." Qinghe stared at me intently, her eyes narrowed, and the curve of the corners of her mouth made me feel familiar... This familiarity made me feel scared.
"You smiled," I said to her.
"I've given everything here to you, Yuanchu people!"
"Ouch... I have never played this game like this before... Isn't this going to kill me..." The old turtle said to Qinghe with a sad face.
"You can play like this starting from today. Why do you, old man, take these external things so seriously! It is also a blessing to give these things to people in the early Yuan Dynasty."
"Ouch..." The old turtle slapped his belly with the palm of his hand, but he was unwilling to hook those gadgets. The little fishmen next to him swarmed over, picked up all the orbs and ores, and handed them over as if they were offering treasures. Arrive in front of Qinghe.
"Sister is so awesome!"
Qinghe touched the little fish man's head and said, "You will definitely be more powerful than me when you grow up."
Qinghe insisted on letting me accept those trinkets, saying they were her Boxing Day gifts for me. Seeing the despair on Old Turtle's face, I picked up a glass-colored orb and said, "I just want this." La."
A mermaid swam towards us. When the children saw the mermaid, they scattered long ago. Why are they so afraid of the mermaid? I was scratching my head when the mermaid swam up to us nervously.
He looked very anxious, but he still made a fist with his right hand and saluted me and Qinghe, then spread his palm, and a small halo of light appeared in the palm of his hand. What appeared in the halo was the appearance of the temple.
"What's wrong?"
"Look!" Qinghe pointed at the mermaid's palm, "The lightning barrier outside is being destroyed!" Under Qinghe's reminder, I saw the electric current spreading everywhere on the purple electric light barrier outside the temple! The light is getting stronger and stronger!
"Something is trying to destroy the temple! It seems to be coming from the underground of the temple!"
