What kind of merman do you know? Mendong asked curiously.

Hairpin Xing paused and said, The merman I know is a girl.

She told the story she had heard countless times, and finally said: The next morning, the sun rose from the sea, and the merman turned into foam and disappeared into the sea.

This Western story is too shocking in the eastern world of immortality. Mendong was young, and his eyes immediately turned red after hearing this, and he murmured, How could this be?

Hairpin was about to comfort the child a few words, when suddenly he heard someone talking behind him: This story is quite new, but the kind mermaid in your mouth only exists in the story. The real mermaid is better than this one. Much more brutal.

Everyone looked back and saw a strange old woman standing behind them. I don't know how long they have been listening to them here. The old woman's gray hair was meticulously tied into a bun, and her red robe was tied with a black belt around her waist, revealing her black boots. The weather in Li'er Kingdom is hot, and most of the locals wear cool clothes, but this old woman wears heavy clothes. Although he is old, he can still see a bit of his youthful demeanor just by looking at his eyebrows.

The locals in Li'er Kingdom are always lazy, with some leisurely smiles on their faces, but this woman is like a taut bow, beautiful, heroic, and exuding a sense of strength all over her body. Even though he is old, he still catches people's attention at a glance, and the brilliance is hard to ignore.

You are. Hairpin asked.

It's just a passerby. The woman in red didn't answer Xing Xing's words, but walked up to the statue, looked at the statue, and said lightly: Forty years ago, there were monsters in Li'er who were haunting young women and sucking their blood. The lord personally led the defenders of the city to fight against the monsters, and found that the monsters were actually mermen in the West Sea. The monsters were so ferocious that they almost killed the entire army of the city. The demon sharks perish together.

She said it with a sense of disappointment, as if she had seen the scene of the king beheading the demon shark with her own eyes.

The woman in red looked at the hairpin star: Girl, the monsters are ferocious, you can tell stories, but don't whitewash them. Otherwise, the blood of the country lord and the army of the city will be shed in vain. When she said the last sentence , his expression suddenly became serious.

Hairpin Xing was a little embarrassed for a while, so he could only turn his eyes to the same door for help.

Tian Fangfang smiled and said, This lady, we just talk about it casually, and naturally we can't take it seriously. The old lord of Li'er Kingdom took the lead, fought against demon sharks, and protected the people of a country. It's amazing, it's amazing! We all I admire him so much!

This compliment sounded a little unintentional, and Hairpin was thinking about adding a few more words to make it more sincere. All exploded. Hairpin was stunned for a moment, just as he was about to speak, suddenly he heard someone screaming in the distance. He looked up, and on the edge of the beach, countless figures were instantly chaotic and fled in the distance, sometimes mixed with terrified shouts.

Help, help, dead!

Youkai, there are monsters—

The monster killed!

Tian Fangfang was taken aback: What's going on, what happened?

There is a demon ahead. Gu Baiying frowned, looking in the direction where the crowd fled, I'll go take a look.

On the beach on the west coast, the civilians quickly dispersed and retreated under the command of the city defenders. When Zhuangxing and his party arrived at the inn, they were already surrounded by the city guards. Seeing Zhuangxing and his party going in, the guard asked, Who is that?

Meng Ying showed him the access cards distributed by the country lord. After the guards saw it, they immediately put away their swords and said respectfully, It turns out that they are some immortals from the Taiyan faction, please come in.

What happened here? Mu layerxiao asked, Is there a monster at work?

I can't say a word clearly, the guard said with a somewhat puzzled look: Several immortals should go first and have a look.

There are many inns near the beach from Erguo. The Xianxunhai side where the hairpin star lives is close to the city. Near the other end of the deep mangrove forest, the price is much cheaper, but the scenery is not bad, and the local wealthy officials of Li’er Kingdom occasionally live here.

The inn where the accident happened is near the mangrove forest.

As soon as he stepped into the inn, Mimi jumped off Tian Fangfang's shoulder with a swoosh and went straight in a certain direction. Everyone followed and saw in front of a room, the Rong Yu of the Glazed Tile School whom he had seen in the daytime was holding Mimi and looked at him with astonishment.

Rongyu? Hairpin asked, Why are you here?

I see there is a pharmacy nearby. I came out to find some medicinal herbs for my senior brother. When I heard something happened here on the way, I came in to have a look. Before he finished speaking, another familiar figure appeared behind him. .

Tan Tianxin probably didn't expect to meet Hairpin Xing and the others here, so he was stunned for a while.

Seeing the bruises on Rongyu's face, Xingxing knew in his heart that this person could not have just met Chattianxin and the others here, and was in trouble again?

Gu Baiying couldn't bear to chat with them, she just pushed aside the crowd and walked into the room, saying, What a bloody smell, what's going on?

The hairpin star also quickly followed.

This is a single-occupancy room, and it's not very big. As soon as you enter the room, a huge fishy smell will come on your face. Looking around, the rooms in the inn were full of blood splatters on the roof, walls, and floor. The hanging snow-white gauze tent was almost completely dyed red with blood, and there was a human lying on the bed, saying it was human. The skin was dry against the bone, and the eye sockets were deeply sunken.

Hairpin Xing came across this scene without any psychological preparation. With an ah sound, Gu Baiying turned around and said, What's the noise?

Hairpin Xing grabbed his arm and blocked it in front of him, and said in a low voice, Dead man.

To be honest, it's not that she hasn't seen someone who died, but it's the first time she's seen such a tragic death. The situation is terrifying, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares when I go back to the inn tonight.

Let go. Gu Baiying said angrily.

Hairpin Xing hesitated a few times in his heart, and finally his heart sank, closed his eyes and let go of his arms, turned around, and only dared to open his eyes when his back was facing the female corpse on the couch. As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door, with undisguised sarcasm: I didn't expect that the newly recruited female disciple of the Taiyan faction is actually a coward who is afraid of the dead.
