"What did you say?"
Zheng Yuan looked at Xiang Bai aside.
"No...well, you'll know when you come and take a look."
Xiang Bai hesitated for a moment, then held Zheng Yuan's hand tangledly and walked back.
"Where to go?"
"my home!"
...
"Here, here are the drawings. The core of the filter is made from the shell of a giant turtle from the sea next door, so it can still be used today."
In the hole of a big tree, Zheng Yuan and Xiang Bai sat opposite each other. Xiang Bai rotated a piece of yellowed and slightly thick paper and pushed it in front of Zheng Yuan.
Drawn on the map is a continent with the same shape as what Zheng Yuan saw in the sky before. The continent is cut open by lines like spider webs. The center point of the spider web is the town where the mermaid family lives.
"These passages marked in red were repaired little by little by me over a hundred years. The rest..."
Xiang Bai gently drew on the map with his pink finger and said with a wry smile.
Zheng Yuan looked at the red area on the map, which occupied about a quarter of the entire spider web. He looked up at Xiang Bai's thick dark circles, and thought of what she had said before, and couldn't help but ask.
"Aren't you Shark too? Although I heard that they are not nice to you, there is no reason for you to pay so much for them, right?"
Zheng Yuan remembered Xiang Bai's words that she needed to sleep at least 12 hours a day. Then he looked at the thick dark circles on her face and the large red spots on the map. He already understood what Xiang Bai had done and became more and more confused.
"Same? In fact, what can I say in the village before? I was considered isolated. The changes they fought hard to resist are permanent in me. I didn't understand them before. Now that I think about them, I realize that they It’s not that they isolate me, but they are afraid of getting too close to me and hurting my heart. After all, they and I are not of the same race.”
Xiang Bai fell into deep thought, his big eyes full of memories of the past.
"When they transformed into Sharks, I was actually a little happy because they became just like me, so wouldn't I have friends too? Later I found out..."
Xiang Bai looked at Zheng Yuan's face and suddenly showed a hint of disgust.
"I found that I don't need friends at all. It's good to lie in bed every day. After they changed into sharks, they came to bother me every day and I couldn't sleep well... Moreover, after they changed, I felt like the world It seems like something is missing, so I think it’s best to restore it to its original state!”
The disgust on Xiang Bai's face turned into determination. Zheng Yuan looked at Xiang Bai like this and suddenly smiled.
"In that case, let everything return to its original state."
After saying that, Zheng Yuan picked up the map in his hand and the passage design draft beside him, stood up and walked out the door.
"Hey, what are you going to do? This continent covers more than 10 million square kilometers, and the total length of the passage is more than 3 million kilometers..."
Xiang Bai stood up in a hurry. When she asked with confusion on her face, Zheng Yuan reached out and pointed his index finger in front of her lips. When she calmed down, Zheng Yuan said.
"There is no need to leave it as it is, as long as it can be used temporarily."
...
Standing at the location of the spring where dozens of holes had been dug, Zheng Yuan dug another large hole. Accompanied by an indescribable strange smell, an egg-like mechanical creation was lying quietly under the groundwater. In the black mud.
"I see."
Zheng Yuan's face was clear. Seeing this scene, Zheng Yuan also roughly understood the cause and effect. The mermaid clan created a clear spring that could filter seawater and suppress the erosion of food cells. However, the mermaids did not consider the remaining residue after filtering the seawater. After a long time, things actually gave birth to extremely filthy octopus, a powerful delicacy creature that can pollute the Qingkong Spring. Under the long-term peace and tranquility, the mermaids lost their vigilance and were basically wiped out, leaving Xiang Zero and Xiang Bai to remain together. Sober up, and then the variable Zheng Yuan arrives.
"I don't know if my physical strength and mental strength can support me..."
Shaking his head to disperse his distracting thoughts, Zheng Yuan looked at Xiang Ling, who was breathing weakly and had a firm look on his back.
Taking one last look at the drawing of the passage, Zheng Yuan closed his eyes and imprinted it firmly in his heart. Then, the sky changed.
"Why did it suddenly cool down!"
Xiang Bai on the side shuddered inexplicably, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky strangely, and then looked doubtfully at Zheng Yuan, who was trembling slightly, with his eyes closed and the corners of his mouth twitching.
The half-black and half-white hair on the back quickly turned white. The water vapor in the air, the fountains on the continent, the sea in the distance, and the little things shining brightly in the sun gathered together, forming several long rivers in the sky.
Zheng Yuan gritted his teeth, his head felt as heavy as countless mountains pressing on it, and the veins stretched on his neck. This was the first time for Zheng Yuan to control such a large area of ice. Because it was not used for combat, the temperature and hardness of the ice were controlled at At the lowest level, what you get in exchange is an unprecedented large volume, and your consciousness seems to have been forcefully pulled into countless copies.
The sudden appearance of the bright glacier in the sky attracted the attention of all the gourmet creatures on this continent. Some of the grumpy creatures couldn't hold it anymore and planned to do something to it, but the next second, Zheng Yuan could only shout angrily, and he was already on the verge of The extreme brain was once again pressed up a mountain, and a shadow like an Optimus Pillar appeared. It stood tall on the ground, with scarlet pupils filled with greed and rage. It lowered its head and looked around the continent. All delicious creatures seemed to be strangled by the throat. , the two branches were fighting, not daring to move.
As the glacier fell, the entire continent seemed to tremble. Four concave lines of ice crossed the continent and divided it into eight pieces. The central intersection was right in front of Zheng Yuan.
Zheng Yuan, who was already gray-haired, reluctantly opened his eyes. He could no longer feel the pain in his head, or in other words, he had no sense. His five senses seemed to be blocked. His eyes were blood red. If he looked at it from the front, Zheng Yuan's eyes and nostrils could be seen. , ears, were constantly bleeding, dyeing Zheng Yuan's handsome face extremely ferocious.
"It's...it's not over yet!"
Zheng Yuan, who had reached his limit, did not fall down yet. He half-knelt on the ground, whispered in his heart, and then let out a dull roar.
On the concave ice channel, the smooth mirror-like inner wall was surging wildly under Zheng Yuan's will, like a raging tsunami. In just a moment, strange lines were engraved on the inner wall, as if they had existed from the beginning.
The moment the lines appeared, the seawater in contact with the channel bent like a snake, squirmed into the channel, rushed toward the center, and even formed a small tsunami at the front end.
"..."
Zheng Yuan, who was bleeding from all his orifices, suddenly fell to the ground. Xiang Bai, who was dazed at the side, came to his senses instantly and went up to help Zheng Yuan, but Zheng Yuan was speechless and could only look at Xiang Bai and fainted.
"Did you read mine? You're such an idiot. Even though it was our first time meeting you, you put your life in my hands... Didn't you ever think that I was lying to you?"
Xiang Bai looked at the ferocious-looking Zheng Yuan in front of him, put it gently on the ground, and muttered unhappily, but did not notice that Zheng Yuan's left hand had been kept in his pocket and had not been taken out.
"Huh, since you trust me so much, I have to restore your trust. It's up to me!"
Xiang Bai whispered, softly but firmly.
