Shanhai Folklore Research Institute

"Mrs. He, you..." Mrs. Ma looked at her in astonishment, and even forgot her fear for a moment.

"You are really pretending to be sick." Before Jingrong was injured by Gangfeng, after seeing He Minghan's doctor, Lin Mian became suspicious of Suliman's "dementia".

"Otherwise, can I still live?" Suliman calmly watched the turbulent waves on the sea, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"A long time ago, I discovered his secret." Su Liman brushed his hair that was blown by the wind behind his ears, "I don't know when, my husband eats less and less, and he becomes less and less human. He was getting thinner and thinner, but on the contrary, his medical skills were advancing by leaps and bounds, even surpassing the top medical masters outside, reaching a height beyond the reach of human beings.

I was very worried about him, but every time I asked him what was going on, He Minghan refused to answer directly, and just told me to leave it alone.I was even more puzzled, so I kept my mind on it, and finally one day in the middle of the night, He Minghan got up from the bed and left the house.

He walked very carefully, as if he was afraid of waking me up, but he was so eager that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and ran barefoot to the rocky beach at night.

I tracked it all the way, and then I saw him jump into the sea, black scales grew on his face, his legs turned into strange tails, he breathed a long sigh of relief, he looked very comfortable, as if he had been reborn.

I was completely stunned, trying to restrain myself so as not to make a sound, until He Minghan picked up a big fish from the water, pierced the belly of the fish with sharp fangs, blood was all over my lips and chin, my stomach was churning, I couldn't help vomiting anymore.

My reaction alarmed He Minghan, he immediately dropped his food and swam towards the shore, I turned around and ran away in fright, but there were piles of rocks everywhere on the reef beach, I was tripped and knocked my forehead on the stones and fainted past.

When I woke up, He Minghan had returned to his normal appearance, but I knew he was a terrible monster, and I also discovered his secret, he would definitely kill me.

Facts have proved that my suspicion at the time was not wrong. Wasn't Ma Xiao killed by him because of this? "

"Ma Xiao..." Mrs. Ma suddenly raised her head. His son, Xiao Ma'er, was drained of blood when he died. It was He Minghan who did it, because Ma Xiao also discovered his secret.

When Lin Mian heard this, it was not hard to guess how Ma Xiao died.

He Minghan chased He Yu out last night, and Ma Xiao, who was pouring water in the main room, accidentally saw him through the window. If it were someone else, Ma Xiao might not be interested, but because the other party was Dr. He, not only everyone admired him, but when he was a child It also saved his life, so he followed up to ask what happened.

Unexpectedly, He Minghan came all the way to the reef beach, and even turned into a half-human monster to hunt his prey...

Lin Mian suddenly remembered that He Yu had said during the day that he met Ma Xiao at the reef beach last night, so did the child see everything?

He should have been hiding well at the time and was not discovered by He Minghan, so he was lucky enough to escape. Compared with Mrs. Ma who lost her composure, Lin Mian couldn't help but sigh that this child's psychological quality is really better than that of an adult.

As for the rumors that there were sea monsters on the reef beach a long time ago, He Minghan probably did it on purpose, in order to keep the islanders away from the east coast, but unfortunately the effect was mediocre.

Su Liman showed a wry smile, and continued to talk about his past experience: "In order to survive, I deliberately pretended to be stupid. He Minghan was dubious and tried words countless times. I was terrified. However, he still refused to fully believe me, and besides probing me from time to time, he also asked his servants to monitor me.

I've been acting stupid for seven or eight years, sometimes even I can't tell if I'm really stupid or not. "

The wind on Wuming Island was still very strong, making the clothes of everyone on the shore rattle.

Lin Mian originally thought that it would be easy for Brother Jing Rong and two Sharks to fight against He Minghan in one fight, but he still underestimated the strength of the latter, or Shark Pearl.

Jing Rong has just recovered from a serious injury. Although his daily actions are not affected, when he actually fights, it can be seen that the swing of the fish's tail is not as flexible as before. Jing Xing alone took on most of He Minghan's attacks. decline.

The demonic power materialized into a thick black mist that enveloped He Minghan's whole body. It looked like a huge silkworm cocoon from a distance. The natural deterrence from the blood of the great demon surged in all directions like a tide. Blood, as for Suliman and Mrs. Ma on the reef beach, they were already stunned.

The mirage barrier protecting Lin Mian's body vibrated violently as if under invisible pressure, making a buzzing sound.

Wu Ting frowned slightly, and the next second, the dean made a move!

The monster power that is more solid than the black mist turned into a red stream of rockets and shot towards the giant cocoon, probably sensing the approaching danger. The latter dived into the water suddenly, the arrow stopped in the air for half a second, and then shot like a sharp sword. Insert it vertically.

boom--

As if sparks had fallen into fuel oil, the seawater with a radius of hundreds of miles suddenly burned, and the flames shot up into the sky for a while.

The giant cocoon was hidden under the sea surface, and the waves seemed to have lost its trace. Wu Ting raised his right hand and was about to shoot another arrow, when a cocoon-shaped fireball burst out of the water and flew towards Lin Mian at an extremely fast speed.

Wu Ting's face changed slightly, and he remembered that the little assistant was protected by a mirage, which could withstand the power of an atomic bomb explosion. A fireball should not be a big problem, so he was slightly relieved.

Huoqiu probably also noticed something was wrong, so he turned a corner and prepared to run away. Suddenly, a slender white hand stretched out from the mirage, pierced through the cocoon of black mist, and pressed down on He Minghan's chest.

He Minghan was shocked immediately, but what surprised him even more was yet to come. Shark Pearl, who had been staying in the heart, suddenly became extremely restless, as if trying to break free from his body.

Although He Minghan got the Shark Bead, he is just an ordinary human being after all. Human flesh and blood is fragile and barren, and cannot nourish the powerful Shark Bead at all. He needs more energy, so he takes advantage of it again and again. Returning to the sea in the middle of the night when no one is around, eating raw fish and sucking fresh blood like a shark.

However, even so, he still felt that he could not completely control Shark Pearl. For example, at this moment, Shark Pearl struggled violently, ran out of his body along the esophagus, and was held by the young man named Lin Mian in front of him.

He Minghan's eyes widened in disbelief. He felt that something was passing away quickly with the departure of the shark beads. His eyes moved down, the scales on the back of his hands gradually disappeared, and his skin shriveled a little bit, as if he had been drained dry. flesh.

He Minghan wanted to yell, but he couldn't make a sound. He tried his best to hold his chest, pretending that the shark beads were still there, but it didn't help. A few seconds later, there was a pale mummy on the rocky beach.

After staying in the research institute for several months, out of professional instinct, Lin Mian's attitude towards bad monsters has always been to strike with precision and never let them go.

flinch?

nonexistent!

Assistant Lin has always been very courageous!

His original plan was to knock He Minghan unconscious, and he took out all the Ditai Chess, but in the end... that's it?

A steady stream of black air came out of the shark bead, and Lin Mian's gaze stuck to it uncontrollably.

"brat……"

He heard someone calling himself.

"Who?"

Lin Mian looked around, only to find that Wu Ting, He Minghan, the mermen, Su Liman and Mrs. Ma were all gone. The place where he was was not the rocky beach of the unnamed island, but the dark deep sea, where the sky light came from a far away place. The place is projected down, forming a soft beam of light.

"Little guy." The man called him again, the voice came from far to near, Lin Mian could see clearly this time, the gorgeous fish tail, strong body, and the golden scales on the forehead and behind the ears, this is a He is a merman, and from his attire and the aura of a superior in his gestures, it can be seen that his status in the clan is definitely not low.

"Old Shark King." Lin Mian said softly.

"You know me?" Jing Lan was surprised.

"I've heard of you." Lin Mian thought for a while, and told him everything that happened on Wuming Island.

When mentioning He Minghan, Lin Mian noticed that Jing Lan's mood didn't change much, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you resent him?"

Jing Lan smiled: "Great monsters like us usually have a premonition of the impending disaster. Ten years ago, I knew that I would experience an unavoidable disaster, so I left my clan and traveled around. As a result, he was inadvertently drawn into that space crack.

I don't resent He Minghan. The Shark Bead condenses the demon power of previous patriarchs and all the blood inheritance of the Shark Clan. Ordinary humans can't control it at all. Rather than saying that He Minghan took the Shark Bead from me, it is better to say that it is the Shark Bead. I found a temporary container for myself, so as soon as it touched you, it ran out of He Minghan's body. "

"Why? Am I not human too?" Lin Mian was puzzled.

"Really?" Jing Lan looked at him and smiled meaningfully.

Lin Mian subconsciously nodded, following his movements, there was an uproar around him, the seabed trembled, the hidden reefs shifted, and the waves surged on the sea he couldn't see, rolling up like a mountain tsunami.

Lin Mian raised his hand in surprise, and there was another turmoil on the seabed, and he also saw clearly the appearance of his left hand at this moment, it was a very delicate branch, from the trunk to the leaves were as crystal clear as ice and snow, while his right hand It has also changed, but it is as fiery as the sun.

"Do you still think you're human?" Lin Mian's mind went crazy, and Jing Lan's smile gradually blurred in front of his eyes.

Thousands of years ago, there was a place called Tangchi in the human world in ancient times.

It is said that the sun was born there. There are no flowers or grass in the soup pond, only dry dense forest, scorched thorn bushes, snow-white fine sand and jade stones everywhere. The only living thing is a towering giant tree.

The name of this giant tree is Fusang. It has existed since Pangu opened the sky and when the chaos first awakened. It was the place where the original sun's three-legged golden crow lived. A three-inch tall sapling grew out.

Little Fusang was gifted with extraordinary talent, and soon after he was born, he was about to transform into a human form. However, at that time, when the Yellow Emperor Chiyou fought, Gonggong angered Buzhou Mountain, and the human world collapsed. Countless, the little Fusang was staying in the soup valley, preparing to take shape with all his strength, but at a critical moment, a tribulation thunder coincidentally fell, splitting it into charred outside and tender inside.

Little Fusang felt that Tanggu was too unsafe, so he pulled himself from the roots of the old tree, and ran away with a few sparse leaves. Unfortunately, his transformation was interrupted, and in order to escape, he used too much force , part of the blood remained on the roots of the old tree, and the little Fusang gradually became weak, and it fell down while running, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long it took, the vicissitudes of life turned into mulberry fields, and the gradually recovering aura of the human world enveloped the sleeping little Fusang. He slowly opened his eyes and walked forward in a daze. In a small village in the mountains, a An old teacher named Huang Lang adopted him.

Little Fusang lost his memory and grew up little by little like a human child. He could cry and laugh, get sick and act like a baby. At that time, little Fusang left the small village and came to the big city of Sichuan City. After another year, he met the future He is a person who is engraved in his blood.

"So I'm that little hibiscus plant..." Lin Mian smiled slightly.

"The demonic power contained in the shark bead is extremely huge. When you come into contact with it suddenly, your dormant blood can be awakened." The old shark king explained with a smile.

Speaking of the Shark Pearl, Lin Mian suddenly thought of something: "You left suddenly and did not appoint a crown prince. In the past ten years, the Shark Race has not established a new king. Now that the Shark Pearl has been retrieved, you plan to hand it over to me. To which heir?"

The Shark Bead is a sacred object of the Shark Race, and getting it is almost like getting a nuclear weapon. He Minghan is just an ordinary person, because the Shark Bead is implanted in his body, he can beat Jing Rong brothers until his mother doesn't even know him, let alone There are monsters.

Lin Mian didn't care about such a treasure at all, and even offered to help him deliver the things. The surprised look on the old Shark King's face flashed, but he admired Lin Mian even more in his heart. He thought about it Thinking: "What do you think of me and Mingxi's child?"

"You mean He Yu?" The old shark king didn't choose Jing Rong or Jing Xing. To be honest, Lin Mian didn't find it strange. The city of the two brothers was deeper than the Mariana Trench. There have been many riots by the merman tribe, and the ambition is so big that it can swallow elephants. Moreover, if the old merman king intends to pass the throne to one of the two, then the crown prince will not be vacant for so long.

"Although the child doesn't like to talk, he has a good heart. Compared with his peers, he appears calmer and calmer in many things."

Jing Lan nodded, and then asked an irrelevant question: "Assistant Lin, do you know why Nuwa closed the passages of the human world and the upper world at the same time?"

Lin Mian was taken aback, and Wu Ting told him about the fact that Nvwa mended the sky and closed the passage between the two worlds a long time ago. As for the reason why Nvwa did this, he really didn't know.

"Because Nuwa foresaw the future." Jing Lan said softly.

"Foresee... the future?" Lin Mian slowly opened her eyes wide.

"Aura is abundant. As time goes by, the monster race becomes stronger and stronger. They are bloodthirsty and aggressive. The rich aura is like the best spirits, amplifying the instinct of killing and plundering infinitely. Wars happen every day , the human race has been suppressed, and soon perished, and the weak monsters were not spared, and the entire human world was filled with corpses and blood." Jing Lan sighed.

"Nuwa believes that the human race is rational and able to restrain its own desires, so that the human race can become the master of the human world to avoid tragedies." Jing Lan looked at the dark shark bead in Lin Mian's hand, "I think so too."

"But as the patriarch of the mermaid clan, whether you call me selfish or cunning, I don't want to see my clansmen being oppressed by other races, so Xiao Yu is the best choice. With my blood, I hope that when he grows up, he will have the same kindness towards the shark race and the human race."

Lin Mian saw a trace of compassion and divinity in Jing Lan's eyes. Compared with the conceited and narrow-minded Feng Clan, the decision made by the old Shark King at this moment is obviously more deliberate and has a longer-term vision.

"Okay." Lin Mian gently held the shark bead.

"Go back, little guy, Wu Ting should be in a hurry." Jing Lan waved his sleeve robe, blinked at him pointedly, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Lin Mian was still standing on the rocky beach. He Minghan was dead, and the four mermen were looking at him in astonishment. The dean had a subtle expression on his face.

Lin Mian shook the leaves on his head, making a rattling sound, and smiled shyly at his boyfriend: "Dean, I don't seem to be human either..."

"Well, it's good." Wu Ting said softly, but Lin Mian didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

The dean coughed and looked away: "I mean hibiscus wood, it's pretty good."

"Yeah." Lin Mian was still not used to the original tree form, thinking that it would be great if he could return to the human form, and then he would change back in the next second.

"Assistant Lin." The usually reticent Jing Rong suddenly spoke, and Lin Mian turned her head to look at him.

"Thank you, Assistant Lin, for helping us get back the Shark Bead. The Shark Bead is an extremely important sacred object of our Shark Race. Please return it to us, Assistant Lin."

Jing Rong's words sounded polite, but his attitude could not be rejected. Lin Mian suspected that if Wu Ting hadn't been standing by his side, with the personality of this prince of the mermaid clan who could do anything and never BB, he must have rushed forward.

"Yes." Jing Xing's eyes were also firmly stuck to the Shark Pearl, and the greed in his eyes was not concealed.

Lin Mian shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to, but that the old Shark King has two different candidates for the new king."

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

The two brothers didn't believe it at all, so Lin Mian repeated Jing Lan's words exactly, and put the shark beads into the small schoolbag after speaking.

Jing Rong was silent, Jing Xing was still unconvinced, the faces of both of them were very ugly, Lin Mian didn't care about them any more, the most urgent thing was to find the exit of this space crack.

It's past midnight at this time, and I don't know how long the hurricane will last tonight. If I can't leave the nameless island before it disappears, then I don't know when the next opportunity will be.

The enchantment formed by the mirage around Lin Mian gradually disappeared. Wu Ting wanted to give him another one, but was sternly rejected by the little assistant. With 100 million beads, once in a while, the boyfriend's power is overwhelming, and one after another, he is so f*cking prodigal. !

And now that he is a monster, he can turn the bottom of the sea upside down with just a lift of his hand, and a mere hurricane can... make... how... how... he? !

Assistant Lin, who was completely exposed, was staggered by the strong wind, and his mouth was filled with wind as soon as he opened his mouth. So what is the difference between the little Fusang who can't use the demon power and ordinary humans?

Lin Mian felt her face hurt, both sides hurt.

The dean twitched his mouth slightly, patiently teaching his little assistant.

According to what he said, Lin Mian mobilized his demon power, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart in the next second, and he immediately stepped back, staring vigilantly at the scene not far away.

"Tsk, brother, you missed!" Jing Xing climbed up from the sea unhurriedly, his fish tails turned into straight and slender legs.

Wu Ting took Lin Mian behind him with a teleportation, his eyes were extremely cold, and the arrows shot towards Jing Rong without hesitation.The latter seemed to be very afraid of the arrow, and did not dare to be tough, but made a strange gesture, and a large wave of sea water rose into the air, rolling towards the arrow.

The expected scene of the middle-flow rocket being extinguished did not appear. The arrow pierced through the sea and shot straight at Jing Rong. Jing Rong looked dignified and built a wall of water again. In an instant, the entire wall burned, and the scene was extremely spectacular. Unfortunately, the situation of the prince of the mermaid tribe behind the wall was not so optimistic. The fire burned his hair, and Jing Rong retreated into the sea in a bit of embarrassment.

"Big brother!" Jing Xing shouted anxiously, his eyes stayed on Lin Mian's schoolbag for a moment, and then he opened his mouth and let out a low whistle.

As I said before, the voices of the mermen are very pleasant, like the sounds of nature when they speak, but at this time Jing Xing's whistling sound is quite sharp and piercing, like scraping glass with a blade.

Lin Mian had a bad premonition, and Wu Ting frowned. Suddenly, raised ripples appeared on the distant sea surface. These ripples were getting closer and more obvious.

After a while, hundreds of mermen floated in the water, staring at Wu Ting and Lin Mian on the shore.

"Master Wu, my elder brother and I know that you are powerful, but there are so many of us. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Do you really want to waste time here for a shark bead that is nothing but a tasteless one to you?" Hurricane Much smaller than before, Jing Xing's eyes flashed a smugness.

Wu Ting looked at him coldly. Lin Mian really didn't like the second prince of the Shark Race who seemed kind but actually had a bad stomach at the moment. He pursed his lips and said, "Even if there is no Shark Bead, the two of you have never been together. You didn't plan to let us leave easily at the beginning, otherwise why did you hide the whereabouts of these subordinates?"

Before Shark Pearl appeared, Lin Mian asked Jing Xing whether the other Sharks had also arrived on Wuming Island, what did the latter say at that time?

No, no, they were swirled to other places, denying Sanlian.

However, in fact, the mermaid tribe has its own way of contacting. As soon as the two brothers landed on the island, they secretly assembled the separated subordinates.

What are they trying to do?

Lin Mian had never understood why the mermaids released false news about the riots, but now she has a vague guess.

Jing Xing smiled harmlessly: "Assistant Lin is really smart, but it's actually just a deal."

"Deal?" Lin Mian raised his eyebrows slightly, "What kind of deal? With whom?"

Jing Xing shook his head: "Business secrets, you can't tell Assistant Lin about this."

"It's a mystery." Wu Ting snorted, and with a light wave of his right hand, countless fireballs rained down on Brother Jingrong and the mermaid army behind them.

Some of the mermen formed water shields to resist, while the rest of the mermen suddenly burst into singing.

Everyone thinks that the mermaid's singing is very beautiful, but they don't know that this is their most lethal weapon.

The sea water with a radius of hundreds of miles seemed to be sucked into the air by a huge water pump, and the high tide was like an endless mountain range, pressing down hard on the reef beach.

Wu Ting jumped up with Lin Mian in his arms, and then rolled up Su Liman and Mrs. Ma, who were paralyzed on the ground, with a fire rope and threw them to a safe place.

The second wave and the third wave followed. The mermaids were still singing, and the melody became more and more intense. From the sky, one could see that the entire nameless island had become a vast ocean, and the islanders were being overwhelmed by the rain that fell from the sky. Awakened by the heavy rain, they fled in a hurry. Many people were overturned by the turbulent waves, children were crying, and the scene was chaotic.

"Are the sharks crazy?" Lin Mian couldn't help feeling angry when innocent people were implicated. He searched for He Yu and He Xiaoqi in the crowd. The two children are not protected by adults, so accidents are easy to happen at this time...

After the hibiscus tree's bloodline was awakened, Lin Mian's most intuitive feeling about his own changes was that his five senses became extremely sharp, which was probably thousands of times stronger than that of a human being. Countless subtle voices were amplified, and even the tiniest things could not escape his eyes.

Lin Mian quickly found He Yu, the child was hiding behind a big rock not far away, holding his little fat cousin who was so frightened that he was crying for his mother.

Lin Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over to pull the two of them up to protect him.

Jing Xing showed a smug smile. It is undoubtedly a dream for him and Jing Rong to kill Wu Ting, but if it is just to prevent him from leaving the nameless island, it is not difficult, as long as the hurricane passes tonight, let him be everywhere The No. [-] Demon in the Desolation was also unable to open this crack in space.

The two brothers let out a sharp and long howl at the same time, and the merman army behind them suddenly surged in momentum, and waves several times higher than before rushed towards Wuming Island from all directions like dumplings.

Wu Ting decisively dropped a mirage bead, and the invisible barrier quickly spread, enveloping the entire island. However, the strength of the mirage is inversely proportional to the size of its expanded space. Facing such a fierce attack, it may not be able to hold out too much. Long.

"Principal, what should we do?" Lin Mian couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He stroked the heads of the two children soothingly. He Yu had been staring closely at the mermaids in the sea, his little face tensed.

Wu Ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Close your eyes."

Lin Mian was taken aback for a moment, but he still obeyed obediently. In the next second, a wave of heat surged around him, and the familiar huge monster force pressed down on the front with an extremely domineering momentum. Lin Mian felt that every pore in his body was screaming. , his hair was almost standing on end, the blood of the hibiscus wood in his body seemed to be resonating, extremely active, almost boiling, he tried his best to restrain his demon power from defecting and merging with Wu Ting's.

The loud and clear singing stopped abruptly as if being disturbed by invisible electric waves, the high tide receded instantly, the raging fire replaced the raging sea with the force of a prairie fire, and the screams of the mermaids rang in Lin Mian's ears.

"Okay, what a big bird?!" The little fat man He Xiaoqi clung tightly behind her cousin and exclaimed.

Lin Mian couldn't help opening her eyes when she heard this.

Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" records a big bird named Peng, "The back of the Peng, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. It flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky."

Lin Mian knew very well that the big bird in front of him was not a Peng, but it was as huge as a Peng. Its feathers were darker black than Ye, and it had three legs under its belly, which were dark golden.

Three-legged Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow looked down and met his eyes, then it flapped its wings and set off a huge wave, flying hundreds of mermen at the same time. The next second, it flew towards Lin Mian.

Lin Mian stood there, his heart almost jumping out of his chest. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, and hugged the tips of Jinwu's wings. The latter flicked him firmly on his back, and again Rush to the sky.

The hurricane was gradually decreasing, but the tide was still raging, and a huge vortex-shaped wind tunnel appeared on the sea not far from the reef beach.

"Is that the exit of the crack?" Lin Mian asked softly.

"En." Jinwu replied, his voice was much lower than when it was in human form.

Looking down from the sky, Lin Mian saw that the water on Wuming Island had receded. The islanders supported each other and looked up at the sky, their dirty faces full of shock and awe.

"What about these people? And He Yu..." Lin Mian promised the old Shark King that he would give the Shark Pearl to him and Mingxi's children.

Jinwu was silent for a moment, and his deep voice resounded through the night sky: "Whoever is willing to leave this place, come with me."

"What? Get out of here?"

"I'm afraid I'm dreaming, can I really leave?"

"Oh my God, I can't believe it..."

"I don't care anymore. I've wanted to leave for a long time. I've been thinking about it for ten years!"

"Me too……"

"Me too!"

……

At first, the islanders couldn't react. They almost thought that they were too frightened and had hallucinations. Su Liman was the first to make a choice. She held He Yu and He Xiaoqi one by one, and dived into the sea without hesitation. Then came Mrs. Ma with red and swollen eyes, and then more and more islanders, a long line extending from the nameless island.

At this time, the east was slightly twilight, the rising sun peeked out from the sea level, and the wind tunnel was gradually shrinking. The Golden Crow no longer stayed there, and swooped down with Lin Mian.

There are four more, refill~
