Chapter 30 Blue Night
When Xiang Liangyu went ashore, the shark she abandoned followed closely behind her, rushing forward with its head down, as if it wanted to go ashore with her.
She looked at the shark struggling on the shoreline, turned around and punched it on the head. The force was not strong, but it was a warning: "Don't come back to the sea if you don't."
The shark opened its mouth and kept biting, but no matter how fiercely it looked, it ended up filling its mouth with air and returned to the sea in disappointment, wagging its tail.
The dark blue sky contrasts with the deep blue sea, and the sea and sky are one color with a cold tone. When the shark's dorsal fin sinks into the sea, the only color on the sea surface is the white waves rolling over one layer.
Tonight is a moonless night.
The sea breeze made Xiang Liangyu shiver, but when she saw the bird in the tide above the broken tower, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
So what if we have cannons? If we injure one thousand enemies, we will lose eight hundred of our own!
She found a beach with a good view, where she could see every move above the broken tower. Just as she was preparing to reap the benefits, she suddenly remembered something.
The strange man in the lighthouse seemed to be waiting for me to take him out.
Xiang Liangyu stood up suddenly, paced and hesitated for a moment, and finally walked towards the entrance of the lighthouse with a clear conscience.
The sky was an eerie dark blue, which naturally blurred the red intertidal zone beneath our feet.
At some point, a few drops of red sand had already stained Xiang Liangyu's ankles.
Silently and unnoticeably.
The humid air hit the bird unexpectedly, and the bird in the tide did not find the mermaid, but found another kind of fat food - humans.
Countless eyes were circling in the sky, watching with eager eyes and drooling with greed.
The three of them were currently huddled in a collapsed triangular area. Although they could not completely block out the outside world, it was enough to delay some time.
Since the lighthouse was ruined, the dark tower also disappeared. When they came to their senses, the three of them had arrived at the lighthouse where they first entered.
Lan Ye is now at the top of the lighthouse, and he can see all the flying creatures in the sky. If he sets out at this moment, he will undoubtedly be seeking death.
After many discussions and struggles, Chu Li used his team points to buy medical supplies and gave himself and others some simple treatment. His strength gradually recovered, but his silence did not diminish.
The three of them had different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking. Qu Liuyun was the first to break the silence: "Hiding like this is not a solution, we must escape."
Chu Li knew what he was thinking. He lowered his head and shook it gently. His messy pink hair was covered with dust. "Without a healer, the team must save enough points to buy healing supplies."
"We can't wait to die!" Miao Zhen, who had been keeping his head down and saying nothing, suddenly raised his head with a sharp gaze. His clear voice was like a reassurance pill, causing both of them to look at him at the same time, "There is still a way."
He straightened his clothes, sat up straight, and took out a bean from the team's backpack.
The light yellow round beans look like soybeans and peas.
Qu Liuyun glanced at him and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Chu Li, Miao Zhen: "..."
Before Miao Zhen could speak, the stone above his head suddenly shook. The sound of stones rubbing against each other could be clearly heard, and large pieces of gray stone were shaken off.
The bird in the tide was unwilling to sit and wait for death any longer.
The birds in the tide above were hitting the stones one after another with their sharp and hard beaks, and the gray stones soon blurred the eyes of the three people.
Miao Zhen narrowed his eyes, ignoring the sand in his mouth, and said firmly: "Three, two, one!"
Chu Li and Qu Liuyun pushed the stones away from the left and right. The three of them held hands and rushed towards the broken gap in front of them with their eyes closed.
The bird in the tide folded its wings slightly in an instant, leaned forward and rushed towards the three people.
Miao Zhen on the far right struggled to open his eyes, clenched the seeds in his hand, and as he jumped down, he stretched out his hand and threw the seeds into the sea.
The Tidebird dived down after the three people fell. The fast-moving Tidebird wanted to pick up the three people, but was frequently interrupted by their struggling limbs. Helplessly, its sharp claws and beak kept sliding down their bodies, leaving bloody wounds that were difficult to heal.
Three people fell into the water, and the birds in the tide glided urgently, rising into the sky above the sea, leaving behind a string of splashing waves.
Xiang Liangyu's voice suddenly sounded: [Congratulations to the player for using the item "Mermaid Seed". The injected seeds no longer rely on soil, and seawater is their source of nutrition.]
[Main quest "Escape from Zero Island" (45/70 ); Island exploration degree (40/50), the player's island exploration degree has reached the standard, and the island's confidential events are partially disclosed. ]
The three of them struggled to raise their heads above the sea and breathed in the air greedily.
[There was a shocking event secretly recorded in human history. A patrolling marine policeman witnessed a large-scale migration of mermaids. He took countless photos and sold them at a high price to scholars who were obsessed with ocean research.]
[He secretly followed the mermaids on his boat for a while, but was attacked by them because his identity was exposed. According to his recollection, mermaids are very social. They like to act in groups, have a clear division of labor, like to live alone, and even have a special language to communicate.]
[This is strikingly similar to the social structure of monkeys. Similarly, there is a leader in the mermaid tribe, and the Coast Guard calls him the ancestor mermaid.]
[This seed was accidentally hooked out from a mermaid when he was attacked by one. After landing, he sold the photo and the seed to a nearly crazy oceanographer for a sky-high price.]
[More secrets have not yet been disclosed, please actively explore. 】
The three of them supported each other and went ashore. They had not yet digested the open secrets that had been revealed to them. However, they were stunned when they looked up accidentally, and they almost forgot to breathe.
The originally azure sea was surging with clouds, and the bright red seawater was getting thicker and thicker, constantly hitting the shore. Not far away, countless tide birds were constantly swooping and soaring in the sea. Every time they rose, they would hold a piece of bloody raw meat or half a fish tail in their mouths.
The food in their mouths is mermaids!
Countless mermaids kept jumping up and down, as if they couldn't bear anything. Their cries were melodious and ethereal, and among the chaotic cries, one voice stood out.
The sad tone rose and fell gently, as if trying to stop this crazy predation.
The tone of the sea surface is no longer gloomy, but dark blue and bright red, creating a strong color collision, which is crazy and terrifying.
The sea water was icy cold, and Qu Liuyun's teeth were chattering. It took a lot of effort to squeeze out a word from between his teeth: "Let's go!"
Xiang Liangyu listened to his own voice, stood in front of the tower, and looked at the sea without moving a step.
This is completely different from the information given by the indigenous people. According to the indigenous people, the mermaids hunt humans, but the mermaids in the system intelligence live in seclusion.
The natives are lying.
When the tide receded, she saw red marks under her feet, rotten bones half buried in the sand, and some dead sea creatures.
Very strange.
She looked up and saw the surging waves amid a mix of voices, and saw mermaids bouncing out of the water for unknown reasons. She also saw a mermaid controlling the waves to repel the ferocious beast in the sky, but she herself was scratched countless times.
The wailing continued, and the tide of birds that had been circling in the sky like a dark cloud dispersed a little, but the predation was far from over.
"Help me!" A hurried voice came from the front, and Xiang Liangyu walked over quickly.
The robed man stood in front of the open door, looking anxious.
His eyes did not fall on Xiang Liangyu. Xiang Liangyu walked to the door and waved in front of him: "How can I help you?"
Quan Shengyan stretched out his hand. There was a wall in front of him, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him. "Take my hand and lead me out of this tower."
Xiang Liangyu stepped into the door without any hesitation, held Quan Shengyan's pale hand, and pulled him away from the dilapidated lighthouse.
In an instant, the three hands of the gold watch rotated rapidly.
The fog is blinding.
The violent waves were accompanied by strong winds, and the only sound in Xiang Liangyu's ears was the earth-shaking waves.
"Thank you, my island master," he said.
The palm of his hand was empty, and the next moment, a beam of dazzling light broke through the white mist and shot towards a corner of the island forest.
As if guiding something.
Xiang Liangyu recalled the information he had broadcast when the player entered the tower:
[The broken lighthouse has not forgotten its mission, it guides every lost traveler. ]
Before parting, Quan Shengyan's voice came through the waves clearly: "Island Master, if you need my help, please touch my scales."
Xiang Liangyu turned around abruptly, stared at the mist and said, "How many forms do you have?"
She finally understood. The smoke coming out of the spring in the sea, the spring in the tower, and the spring in the culture tank were all caused by the same person!
But the person she rescued in front of her seemed to be the real person.
A light laugh was heard, and the sound of the waves seemed to grow louder, the wailing turning into a roar, with a determination to destroy everything.
Quan Shengyan: "It doesn't matter. You just need to know that I will always obey you. You saved me, and the Quan Shengyan who appears in front of you in the future will always be the same person."
"But the clone has been away from the original body for a long time, and it will also develop independent thoughts. He may have offended you or hurt you, but I ask for your forgiveness."
Xiang Liangyu nodded thoughtfully, pondered his words for a while, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth with an ambiguous smile: "Okay. Why is the intertidal zone colored after low tide? What's the matter with mermaids in the sea?"
Quan Shengyan: "The mermaid's seed will call out the sleeping mermaids of the tribe, usually carried by the ancestor mermaid."
“As for why the intertidal zone is red, that’s something you need to explore on your own.”
Xiang Liangyu was not surprised, but still puzzled by his answer. This was not the same as what was said in the open secret. Before she could ask, Quan Shengyan seemed to know what she was going to ask and answered: "The seeds were missed by me. After my tribesmen found the seeds and caught up with the tribe, they found that there were humans outside the tribe observing. When they drove them away, the seeds were picked up by humans."
This answer was obviously deliberately shortened, but Xiang Liangyu did not continue to ask.
She hesitated for a long time before she said awkwardly, "My condolences."
After saying that, she turned and left the place, following the strong beam of light from the lighthouse into the depths of the island forest.
The fog obscured my vision, and the sound of the waves gradually subsided. The thick white fog suddenly revealed a huge shadow, almost a hundred meters wide.
The next second, the wailing stopped abruptly, and the cries of the birds in the tide resounded through the sky.
The sound of falling water came one after another, like it was raining.
