"My head hurts so much. I have to hurry up. Although I asked Xiang Ling to eat, her recovery ability has dropped significantly due to the acupuncture. She must get the Jingkong Spring to free her!"
Throwing down the ice spear, Zheng Yuan stood up straight. The delicious filthy octopus tentacles made Zheng Yuan's body recover, and his hair became more than half black. However, the brain overload caused by ice control could not calm down without enough rest.
Walking to the location of the spring in his memory, Zheng Yuan squatted down and pumped his fist.
"Spiral strength-penetration!"
He silently recited the name of the move in his mind, controlled his strength, and hit the ground full of broken building materials with his fist. The ground shook suddenly, white flying dust rose up, and Zheng Yuan slowly raised his fist.
Snake-like white smoke twisted in Zheng Yuan's fist. Below, a hole the size of Zheng Yuan's fist emerged. The bottomless hole wall was covered with spiral patterns.
Zheng Yuan's ears moved slightly, and he heard the inaudible sound of water. Within a minute, the sound of raging water came from the entrance of the cave. The next second, there was some dirt at the front, and then the clear water spurted out and jumped into the sky. .
The cool fountain made the land feel like it was raining. The cold water droplets splashed on Zheng Yuan's still talking muscles, splashing white mist.
Feeling the coldness of the water, Zheng Yuan was so excited that he couldn't help but smile, open his arms, open his mouth, and embrace the beauty of this moment.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Zheng Yuan, who was still smiling one second, had a distorted face the next second. The salty taste in his mouth depressed his originally cheerful mood, and he quickly spit out the liquid in his mouth.
"This is simply sea water. Could it be that the outlet of Jingkong Spring was diverted by me and the extremely dirty octopus?"
Zheng Yuan looked at the gushing sea water and fell into deep thought.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
...
Several fountains opened on the ground one after another. Zheng Yuan blew the white smoke from his fist and looked at the fountain in front of him as the water flow became smaller, with a solemn expression.
"Well, does it mean that the scope needs to be expanded? Or is the Jingkong Spring extinct because of the extremely dirty octopus?"
Zheng Yuan looked around and saw dozens of fountains on hundreds of square meters of land, and said with some confusion.
"Are you looking for the Jingkong Spring?"
When Zheng Yuan was confused, a female voice suddenly came from behind. The voice was a little hoarse and the tone was very long. Just listening to the voice made people feel inexplicably tired.
"!?"
Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Zheng Yuan jumped forward and pounced tens of meters, then turned around in the air and looked warily towards the direction of the sound.
"(=_=)"
What caught Zheng Yuan's eyes was a mermaid with a speechless expression on her face. Her messy light gray hair was held up by her, her eyes were half-squinted, and the thick dark circles under her eyes were like eye shadow. The huge tips of her chest were covered by two The shells were covered casually, and the exposed white skin was like fine white sand. The mermaid yawned boredly.
"Who are you? Are there any non-deformed mermaids on this continent except Xiang Zero?"
Zheng Yuan wondered. Although the mermaid in front of him was fair and beautiful, Zheng Yuan did not let down his guard at all.
"Do I still want to answer you? It's so troublesome. You are so noisy. I was sleeping and I was woken up by you fighting with the big octopus."
The mermaid scratched his messy hair and said impatiently.
"Well, let me answer you, they are too noisy, so I can sleep well if I change back."
The mermaid suddenly let out a long sigh and said helplessly, then sat down nonchalantly, looked at Zheng Yuan, patted his side, and motioned for him to sit over. Zheng Yuan hesitated for a while, and saw that the mermaid had no hostility, and the sixth There was no response, so he sat next to her.
"My name is Xiang Bai. I'm the one over there... er, Xiang Ling's cousin."
Xiang Bai glanced at Zheng Yuan and said weakly, looking very tired.
"Do you still have the Jingkong Spring in your body? Zheng Yuan asked.
"No."
Xiang Bai replied decisively, then looked at Zheng Yuan who wanted to speak again, stretched out his white fingers, and stopped Zheng Yuan.
"Let me say, I know what you want to ask."
Xiang Bai said, placing his slender fingers on Zheng Yuan's upper lip. Zheng Yuan stretched out his hand to push it away and nodded.
"You know, just like among you humans, there will always be some disabled people with birth defects. Although the proportion is not high, they do exist. There are also mermaids. I am one."
"Mermaids are still human in nature, but their gourmet cells are not stable, and I am extremely unstable. A negative makes a positive, but it becomes stable. I am a born shark, the kind that cannot be changed, although I am not like the others. There is no difference in appearance between mermaids, but I am sterile, like to eat raw meat, and have an extreme personality. Of course, compared with other mermaids, I didn’t expect that I ended up being the most stable one.”
Xiang Bai pondered and murmured, her long fish tail curled up, she hugged her tail and continued.
"Due to the instability of my cells, I need at least 12 hours of sleep a day. I don't need a clean spring to stay awake. Of course I can drink it. After all, it's so delicious. But I always wake up to get water. That day I As soon as I woke up, everyone in the village lost control and turned into sharks. A big octopus even occupied the Jingkong Spring. I couldn't defeat it, so I took some things from the village and ran outside to live, because I am also a shark. So they don’t come here to kill me, they just come here often to make me sick.”
Xiang Bai smiled bitterly and continued.
"Xiang Ling worked hard and tried his best to survive under everyone's help. I helped her secretly, but I didn't dare to come out openly, otherwise I would be hunted down. I'm not as powerful as Xiang Ling. I thought about giving it to Xiang Ling. We brought some clear springs, but the springs have been broken, and all the remaining spring water has been polluted..."
"Wait, the spring is broken? Doesn't that mean it's gone?"
After hearing what happened, Zheng Yuan finally couldn't help but interrupt Xiang Bai's words, put his face in front of Xiang Bai in disbelief, and asked.
"So just listen to what I have to say!"
Xiang Bai sighed, pushed Zheng Yuan away in disgust, and wiped his hands on him.
"Do you know what Jingkong Spring is?"
"Delicious spring water."
Zheng Yuan answered without hesitation.
"I knew it."
Xiang Bai held his forehead and said.
"Jingkong Spring is just called that. In fact, it is not a natural product at all. It is a special liquid extracted by our mermaid clan using a super large special filter to filter the sea. It is the technological crystallization of the mermaid clan, but because of the large Octopus, the spring water is polluted because no one maintains it, and the filtering channels are also interrupted by animals in the wild. You should have seen it when you came here, the broken stone channels on the ground."
"Well, let me tell you, I thought it was a drainage channel."
Zheng Yuan suddenly realized.
"Then, the big octopus has been fucked by me. All I have to do next is fix the filter channel!"
Zheng Yuan clapped his hands and smiled.
"If only it were that simple."
Xiang Bai bowed his head and whispered.
