"Big brother...do you taste good?"
The girl looked at the man in front of her with a smile and asked curiously, her voice as pure as an oriole.
But the gradually rising corners of her mouth distorted her face, and her pupils turned from blue to bottomless black. She opened her mouth gently, and sharp triangular teeth grew in her mouth like rows of blades.
"Delicious? Of course, I am very, very delicious, but can you eat it?"
Seeing the beautiful face distorted like a ghost in front of him, Zheng Yuan didn't have any surprise or fear. He spoke softly, and a smile began to appear on his face.
Almost instantly, the moment Zheng Yuan finished speaking, the girl's arm suddenly rose up, and dagger-like nails grew out of her slender fingers, stabbing directly at Zheng Yuan's waist.
At the same time, Zheng Yuan stretched out his hand to press forward without any trace of fireworks. His movements were gentle but extremely fast, and his big hand went straight to cover the girl's face.
"Snapped!"
Just when the tip of the mermaid girl's fingernails was about to touch Zheng Yuan's waist, and Zheng Yuan's big hand was less than one centimeter away from the mermaid girl's face, a black shadow shot out from the bushes behind Zheng Yuan, and the fish's tail flickered with colorful light. Get on the mermaid girl's waist and knock her away.
"?"
The corner of his clothes was lifted up by the strong wind when the black shadow came out, and the mermaid girl in front of him disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zheng Yuan couldn't help being stunned, and turned to look to his side.
"Walk!"
Before turning his head, Zheng Yuan was pulled by his armpits, a hoarse female voice came, and then Zheng Yuan flew into the air with a strong pull and left quickly.
"boom!"
It wasn't until Zheng Yuan disappeared that the mermaid girl hit a big tree. The big tree groaned under the weight, trembled, and then slowly fell to the bottom.
"Roar!"
The mermaid girl with stars in her eyes felt angry, raised her head and roared, the sound spread, and after a moment, several figures came to the mermaid girl's side.
...
"..."
He didn't know how far he was dragged. Zheng Yuan, who was unable to react for a moment, finally woke up and looked up at the dark figure pulling him.
The sight window shook violently, but his sixth sense didn't tell him that he was in danger, so Zheng Yuan just let it take its course.
The first thing that caught Zheng Yuan's eyes was a pair of violently beating mountains. They were snow-white and delicate. They changed shape as Zheng Yuan's eyes shook, showing their good softness and toughness.
Below is a perfectly curved fish tail. Zheng Yuan never thought that one day he would be able to see the amplitude on the fish tail.
Due to the angle, Zheng Yuan could only see the side of her face. On her slender neck were her cheeks as sharp as a knife, a few scales growing beside her ears, her skin as white as double breasts, and her long blue hair not tied up. Occasionally, he would hit Zheng Yuan in the face.
"Meow?"
The big cat, who was running wildly, found a black shadow suddenly passing beside him, and the boss was actually being dragged away by it, and he couldn't help but let out a confused cry.
...
"..."
Next to a simple tent, Zheng Yuan sat next to the extinguished campfire and looked at the mermaid in front of him. The big cat was lying on the side, licking his paws boredly.
"Hello, my name is Xiang Ling."
Xiang Ling sat on a dead tree. Although he tried his best to restrain his tail, his long fish tail still almost touched Zheng Yuan a few meters away.
"My name is Zheng Yuan."
Zheng Yuan closed his eyes and looked at Xiang Ling in front of him. He saw that she had a cold expression, but her face was exquisite, her eye sockets were deep, as if she had carved facial features, and her pupils were like clear spring water. She should have been a warm and cold woman, but she could The scars on her body added a bit of evil to her.
There was a deep scar in the corner of her eye that almost reached her eye, and a scar that almost split her open across her abdomen. Large and small scars were densely covered on her body, making her look like a rag doll that had been abused. To be broken but still sustained.
"Why do you want to help me?"
Zheng Yuan asked calmly. The mermaid girl with a twisted expression and a ferocious breath was obviously of the same race as Xiang Ling.
After a long silence, Xiang Ling's expression was calm and her pupils were sluggish, as if she was thinking about something. Her beautiful face was in sharp contrast with the scars on her body that seemed to break her into hundreds of pieces. She just sat there quietly, but it seemed Time also stood still, like an oil painting.
"...Oh, sorry, I was in a daze, right."
Perhaps it was the sudden chirping of birds in the sky or the passing breeze that woke Xiang Zero up. Like the broken water surface, her expression suddenly became vivid, and the fresh breath reappeared on her body.
"It's okay, are you injured?"
Zheng Yuan shook his head, then pointed to the scars on her body and asked.
"This is a long story. If you had come here a few years earlier, I should have been able to tell it to you seriously. Unfortunately, I don't have time, so I can only keep it short."
Xiang Ling shook his head, and then looked at Zheng Yuan seriously.
"You seem to be of the same race as that girl, why is it so...crazy?"
Seeing Xiang Ling's rejection, Zheng Yuan didn't care and continued to ask.
"We are mermaids, and that girl is my sister. For some reasons, we cut off contact with the outside world. Our family relied on the Jingkong Spring to restrain the erosion of food cells. Then due to the loss of the spring named Jingkong Spring, our family The remaining eight people fell into madness, and I was the only one who survived because I had a small bottle of water from the Clear Spring."
He slowly told Zero, while taking out a small bottomed bottle from the crack in his chest, and then stuffed it back.
"But as you can see, I've almost finished drinking the water, and I'm going crazy."
Xiang Ling spoke slowly, as if he was restraining something. The blood vessels in his body were bulging and he was breathing heavily. After a while, he calmed down again, but he was sweating all over and felt a little weak.
"Are you a Ruifudi tribe? Are you humans who have experienced gourmet cell implantation?"
Zheng Yuan said with some surprise that the Ruifudi tribe is actually the product of human beings who have failed or changed their appearance after the implantation of gourmet cells. They are still human in nature, but their names have changed because of their different appearances. Anyone whose appearance is different due to gourmet cells All human beings can be called the Ruifudi tribe. In the human world, there is even the existence of the Ruifudi country, where all the Ruifudi tribes in the human world live.
"Maybe. I have forgotten many things. The only purpose of my survival now is to see them regain their sanity."
Xiang Ling said with some confusion,
"Are you a food hunter?"
She changed the subject and looked at Zheng Yuan with some longing.
"Yes, I am a very strong food hunter!"
Zheng Yuan responded without hesitation, he had enough confidence to say this.
"Then, can you please accept my commission? The price is this clear spring."
Xiang Ling leaned forward, almost leaning against Zheng Yuan, took Zheng Yuan's hand, put the small bottle with her body temperature into Zheng Yuan's hand, looked into Zheng Yuan's eyes, and said seriously.
"Is this okay? Give me your only hope so easily?"
Zheng Yuan asked instead without being confused by the warm-scented nephrite in front of him.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. You are the first outsider I have seen in a long time. You are very strong. If I hadn't appeared at that time, you could have easily killed my sister, right? I have no choice, no choice. ..."
She looked at Zheng Yuan and murmured to herself very fast. She didn't know whether she was answering Zheng Yuan or comforting herself.
"It's very beautiful, this water."
Asking Xiang Ling to sit back down, Zheng Yuan was holding a small bottle. The transparent bottle contained dark blue, pure, gem-like clean water. Xiang Ling looked at the small bottle, his eyes not moving for a moment, and he swallowed.
"Does it taste good?" Zheng Yuan asked.
"It is the purest thing in the world. When you drink it, your body and mind will seem to be purified, and your soul will be sublimated in that moment."
Xiang Ling said blankly, her state was very wrong, she was restless, a little nervous, her eyes were sometimes dull and sometimes hot, as if there were two souls in her body.
"Drink it. If you are really a food hunter, you will definitely chase it after seeing its delicious taste."
After saying that, Xiang Ling stood up unsteadily, walked behind Zheng Yuan, bent down and picked up a blade.
"While I am still conscious, do you have any questions? Or if you want to use my body, please feel free to ask for any requests. I will try my best to satisfy you. While I am still conscious, I just hope you can save me." Save my family."
The bone blade full of scratches was pressed against her neck by Xiang Ling. The sharp blade left a shallow blood mark on her snow-white neck. She tilted her head and asked seriously.
"Last question, where is this?"
Zheng Yuan looked at Xiang Ling calmly.
"This is the Lost City, Atlantis, my home."
Xiang Ling lowered her head and replied. The sunlight above her head left a shallow halo behind her and a black shadow on her face, making it difficult to see the emotions in her eyes.
