Rebirth: Wild Survival

"...In order to be able to set foot on land, the murloc exchanged his beautiful voice with the sea priest for a pair of legs that can walk on land for a short time. The sea priest who got the murloc's voice cast a powerful spell, the white curse The magic light instantly surrounded the murloc's body. The murloc only felt a tearing pain from his tail fin. When he recovered from the pain, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his beautiful tail fin covered with fine scales was gone. , replaced by a pair of slender and powerful legs!"

When the storyteller reached this point, he looked up at his only audience with a guilty conscience, and saw that the audience was well received, so he continued to speak with peace of mind: "The murloc is very excited, he can't wait to go to land, by the way Swimming to the reef near the shoal with the surging waves, the murloc struggled to stand up on the reef, and began to practice walking upright like a real terrestrial creature. When the body fully adapted to the new legs, The mermaid started his journey to explore the forest."

"And what happened later! What did he find in the forest? Did he find the orc prince he saved?" The kid who was squatting on the ground listening to the fairy tale was extremely focused at this moment.

The storyteller paused for a moment, and then said helplessly after a while: "Let's talk about this today, Zijin, you should take a nap, let's continue tomorrow."

"I don't want it, I want to leave after listening." The rejected little guy pouted dissatisfiedly, his two fleshy little hands tightly clutching a corner of the animal skin blanket hanging from the edge of the bed, his eyes were unusually persistent.

Looking at the persistent little guy, Su Luo almost lamented. He had finally realized what it means to be self-inflicted. Since that time, in order to calm Zijin, who was angry, he told him a few fairy tales from previous lives as a sleepless night. After the previous story, Zijin was immediately fascinated by these fresh little stories. He began to come to Neil’s cave more and more frequently, pestering Su Luo to tell him stories. It has become a regular itinerary for Zijin. "

Contrary to the enthusiastic Zijin, Su Luo was troubled by this. After several days of consumption, the stock in his brain was not enough. Today, after racking his brains, Su Luo finally retrieved from the deepest memory An incomplete Cinderella story has been excavated, but it is a big problem to change this story to make Zijin accept it. In order to make this "beast version of Cinderella" story smoothly integrate with the existing living environment , Su Luo painstakingly mixed in the 'Mermaid' story fragments... This is really a painful process, but fortunately, Zijin is very receptive to any adaptation, and has been listening attentively.

Su Luo, who worked so hard to adapt a large section of the story, was relieved, and began to coax Zijin to take a nap. Unfortunately, today he failed to escape as usual. Extremely persistent, Lai stayed by Su Luo's side and refused to leave.

Su Luo was so tossed that he couldn't help it. He couldn't help casting his hopeful gaze at the entrance of the cave, but soon he was disappointed to find that Neil, who had gone out to look for food, hadn't returned yet. He pursed his lips angrily, and Su Luo looked at the cave for help. Yamang sitting sideways, but Yamang is obviously a little out of shape today.

Received Su Luo's sight, Yamang was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses, but what he said made Su Luo speechless, I saw him looking at Su Luo with complicated eyes, like a purple hibiscus on one side, He murmured and asked: "Yeah, what happened after that?"

Su Luo glanced at Yamang with some trouble, and then noticed that the other party's physical condition should not be very good at this time. At this time, Yamang was frowning tightly, his face was ugly, and he would take a long breath from time to time. in one breath. "Are you okay?" Su Luo asked with concern: "Since you were rescued from drowning, something has been wrong."

"I'm fine!" Yamang responded almost immediately, and then felt that his tone was a bit wrong. He touched his throat subconsciously, and said vaguely: "I just feel a little uncomfortable in my throat."

Su Luo noticed that when Yamang spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced away, and he couldn't help but focus his eyes slightly. He recalled what happened a few days ago. The dragons who returned from hunting saw Yamang who was drowned and unconscious. Yamang was floating on the sea level at that time On the ground, he unconsciously drifted to the deeper sea with the waves. If the returning dragons hadn't found him in time, he might have been swept into the sea by a certain big wave.

Su Luo, who heard the news, was naturally surprised and worried. Fortunately, Yamang woke up quickly. After waking up, Yamang didn't mention anything that happened before drowning. Su Luo was keenly aware that Yamang's body Something must have happened, but unfortunately, his current state is too bad, and he doesn't have the energy to take care of Yamang's affairs at all.

As if aware of Su Luo's gaze, Yamang glanced at Su Luo uncomfortably, and urged: "Tell me quickly, Zijin still wants to hear the story behind, and I also want to know what happened next."

Su Luo looked at Yamang with stunned eyes, and asked with his eyes, brother, are you really interested in this story?Why did you want to join forces with Zijin to harm me? Unfortunately, the other party chose to ignore his signal at this time, and met Su Luo's gaze firmly. Seeing this, Zijin naturally became more noisy. A corner of Pi swayed back and forth, urging confidently: "That's it!"

With a long sigh, Su Luo rubbed the center of his brows with some headaches, and said helplessly: "Okay, let's talk a little more."

After pondering for a moment, Su Luo, who had sorted out his thoughts, continued amid Zijin's cheers: "The murloc who walked into the dense forest soon found the orc prince who was rescued by him. On this day, the orc prince was holding a grand ceremony. The orcs from other tribes in the dense forest came in all their costumes, and the murloc was enviously watching this scene, lying behind a tree. He also wanted to participate in this party. He used fresh green leaves to wrap his hair, and made clothes with banana leaves and bouquets. After he dressed up carefully, he stood by the pond in the forest to check his outfit. The people in the water were all dressed up. He almost wanted to Can't recognize himself in the water. He blends in with the crowd, joins the party, and the Orc prince sees him soon!"

"Did he recognize him?" Zijin asked after hearing the words.

"No," Su Luo shook his head and said, "The prince was just amazed by his attire, and didn't recognize him at all, and the murloc who lost his voice couldn't identify himself at all." "Oh." Zi Jin Seemingly dissatisfied with this explanation, he curled his lips in disappointment.

Ignoring the disappointment in Zijin's eyes, Su Luo continued: "The prince invited the murlocs to dance together. They danced several times together. The prince held the murloc's hand and talked to him a lot. They looked very close. But the man didn't listen carefully to what the prince was saying. He was full of worries. The spell attached to him was about to disappear, and he needed to return to the sea quickly. Finally, when the pain from the sole of his foot became more and more intense, he could no longer bear it The anguished murloc waved off the prince's hand, ran towards the sea, and disappeared into the sea very quickly.

The prince chased it out, but he could only look at the vast ocean. He couldn't find the murloc, so he could only look at the tide alone and feel sad! "

"Okay, this story is really over, and you, it's time to go to bed." Su Luo looked at Zijin with obvious joy in his eyes.

"No, this isn't the ending at all, I want to hear another ending!" Zi Jin was extremely disappointed with this anticlimactic story, and she immediately yelled after hearing this.

Su Luo was about to refute, but suddenly, he heard a familiar voice from the entrance of the cave, and he was in no mood to argue with Zijin. Su Luo cheered almost immediately, calling Neil's name loudly, Su Luo eagerly I look forward to my partner coming over as soon as possible to help him complete the work of seeing off guests.

Neil did not disappoint, and after a while, Zijin and Yamang were both kicked out of Neil's cave.

Rolling around in embarrassment on the ground for several times, Zijin, intimidated by Neil's simple and rude approach, burst into tears and went to catch Lucky to treat the "psychological trauma". Seeing this, Yamang didn't chase out as usual, he seemed to be out of strength. Sitting down on the ground, he took a deep breath with some difficulty.

Thinking back to the story just now, Yamang's mood is a bit complicated. If he hadn't confirmed that Su Luo's current physical condition was almost bedridden all day, he would almost suspect that his friend followed him yesterday to participate in the mermaid selection meeting.

Thinking of everything that happened that day, Yamang still has a sense of unreality, if not for his bad physical condition repeatedly reminding him of the reality of what happened yesterday, Yamang would almost regard it as a ridiculous nightmare .

Shaking his head, he erased all the memories of that day, Yamang no longer thought about Su Luo's story, he began to focus more on his current physical condition, and took another deep breath, Yamang was a little nervous He found that his respiratory system seemed to be ineffective. After each deep breath, the air in the lung lobe inhaled would be much less than the last time. A strange feeling of dehydration troubled Yamang. It was not simply thirst. Every cell is calling for water.

Leaning against the rock wall outside the cave as if exhausted, Yamang didn't realize how pale and ugly his face was. Instinctively ran towards the coast on the east side of the island.

I submerged my head in the water, and after a few breaths, Yamang poked his head out suddenly, the sea water slipped from his cheeks, and the salty smell of seawater still seemed to remain on the tip of his nose, Yamang felt a little better, but it was not enough!

Raising his eyes and staring at the calm coastline with complicated eyes, Yamang took some time to find the familiar mark not far away. It was the signal when he agreed to meet with the three merman. Concentrating on that mark, Yamang is rare After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his head and took a deep breath. Feeling the increasingly thin air in his chest, Yamang finally made up his mind. He stood up and walked into the sea little by little.
