Bai Ya pondered her meaning and couldn't help shaking his head. This girl was afraid of the danger of blue amber, but she hid it in her hair. She didn't know what she thought. She was lucky, her hair was thick. If
I'm afraid it won't do anything good if it comes into contact with the skin.
At this moment, the situation was calm, and he finally had the time to take a close look at his opponents. There were indeed not many of them, less than ten, and presumably there were still people patrolling outside who had not returned yet. Miss Quan's face looked the most immature among them. I guess.
Because of this, she did not go out on patrol with other sharks, but stayed stationed at her residence.
The orange-tailed shark called everyone to come to him, and they formed a loose circle at the edge of the sea. The middle-aged woman faced Bai Ya and said bluntly:
"We still can't tell you the truth. But - you are very strong and have outstanding fighting power. I admire you very much."
"I admire you too. Your straightforward and frank character reminds me of a friend." Bai Ya also responded calmly.
I don’t know how Jun Aoyan is doing now.
A few sharks curled their lips and muttered to themselves, and some people didn't care. Bai Ya ignored their reactions and continued talking to the orange-tailed shark:
"What I came here for was this amber. Now that it has returned to its original owner, I originally planned to leave. But just now, I heard you say that there is another treasure? Is that also...a magic weapon?"
"Magical weapon?"
The sharks made a confused commotion. The orange-tailed shark answered on their behalf:
"I don't know what kind of object you are talking about. The treasure we are talking about is the most precious treasure of our family, a pearl about the size of a baby's fist."
Bai Ya had heard the legend about the sharks weeping and condensing beads, but because of this, he was quite surprised.
"Can your tears condense into beads of this size?"
"That's not the case." The orange-tailed shark said carefully, "If you want to elaborate, it is an unformed dragon ball. There is a mysterious legend in our clan about the dragon ball. Are you interested?"
"Look, do I have any choice now? That's all."
The orange-tailed shark smiled:
"If you are interested, of course it would be better. After all, this is a long story."
The story starts from ancient times.
Thousands of years ago, this place had not yet communicated with the outside world. There were not many merchants traveling around the country, and it was not very prosperous. Only the areas with rich soil and water could rely on farming. As an ordinary corner in the vast sea, the residents of the seaside only
There are people who rely on water to draw water and have been fishing for generations.
The experience of our ancestors has accumulated from generation to generation, and fishermen have built special fishing nets to sink deeper into the sea and hunt for more abundant catches. The nets are full of thorns, and once the prey crashes into it, even if it is not trapped to death, it will
He was also dying and unable to escape.
Not only ordinary fish, but even dragons may not be immune.
On that long-ago day, when everything began, a small dragon was caught in a fishing net. He was still too young and fell into this terrible net recklessly. His body was not yet thin enough to break free. The more he struggled, the more his skin was pricked.
It penetrated and tore open numerous scars. Even when he was exhausted, he could not escape. He had to be dragged out of the sea by fishermen in despair and thrown into the boat.
His only hope was his friend, a mermaid girl. She followed the fishing boat quietly and climbed aboard while the fishermen were unaware. She quickly pulled out the spikes with her nimble fingers and untied the netting wire wrapped around the dragon's body, regardless of the fact that she was being stabbed.
The girl was dripping with blood. The girl wanted to rescue her friend so much that even when the fishermen approached, she never stopped moving her hands.
The half-human, half-fish mermaid was a rare thing. The fishermen were overjoyed and grabbed the net and pounced greedily on the girl. She hugged the little dragon and struggled to resist, but never gave up. She had already escaped to the bow of the boat, but the danger was close at hand. On the other side
In front of a fishing net, she raised her arms and threw the dragon back into the sea.
The little dragon was free. But the girl was caught in a net and trapped on the land. The fishermen set up fishing nets densely on the seaside, circled a water area, and imprisoned the shark in this small space. They did not forget to cover the top with thorns to cut off all her means of survival.
.
The girl understood that she could not escape. At night, she told the little dragon who secretly came to visit her about her fate. She said goodbye to the little dragon, because the next day she would be taken away by fishermen thousands of miles away from the sea.
A distant place. There, fishermen would offer this rare shark to the king in exchange for wealth and fame.
The dragon whined softly and circled around the fishing net, thinking for a long time. When he stopped, he had made a decision. He pulled off a piece of dragon scale and handed it to the girl's hand.
"Since he wants glory and wealth, give him my dragon scales. Even if you can't ask him to let you go free, you still want him to take you away from this place later."
The girl complied. This was a beautiful thing that the fisherman had never expected. He agreed to the girl's request:
"As long as you give me dragon scales, I will not sacrifice you to the king."
Long also learned about this, so every day before he left, he would leave his own scales for the girl. The next day, she would trade with the fishermen for another day, and she could still look back on the survival of her hometown. The fishermen were never satisfied.
He also tried to force the girl to surrender
There are dragon scales, but the girl is tight-lipped and only says that it is her own magic. She can only conjure one in a day and no more. The fishermen settled for the next best thing and asked her to turn in one dragon scale every day. Otherwise, they would do it at any time.
Will take her to meet the king. E-book shop
Such days lasted for more than a year. This year was originally enough for the little dragon to grow, but every time they met, the girl would find that his stature had not changed at all. She knew the reason - dragon scales were the dragon's body.
for. day after day,
Xiaolong dug out his new scales, which were condensed from his original cultivation, with blood, just so that she could survive for a while longer. As a result, he could not grow, and even if it went on for a long time, it would be difficult to grow new scales.
Even died for it.
The girl was so heartbroken that she persuaded Xiaolong countless times to give up and stop making such sacrifices for her. The dragon always stubbornly refused her. He said that this was what he owed her, even if he stripped off his scales, it would not be enough to repay.
The girl knew that she probably couldn't persuade him. But if too many dragon scales were lost, a dragon's life would be exhausted. She thought about it again and asked him to bring his shuttle. At least, she
I can knit a dress for him.
The dragon agreed to her, but he left for several days and never came back. The girl could not hand over the dragon scales, and the fishermen's patience gradually wore away. People at that time may not have known that the sharks' tears turned into beads, and their weaving skills were unparalleled in the world.
. He just threatened to take her as a tribute and present it to the king. The girl begged hard, saying that she was ill and that once she got better, she could continue to perform spells on him and create more scales.
Before the fishermen's patience ran out, the dragon came back covered in wounds.
He handed a shuttle to the girl's hand. The moment she took it, she guessed what happened.
This was not her shuttle. Xiaolong couldn't find her shuttle, so he stole it from other sharks. But what he didn't know was that the shuttles of the sharks were mostly made from the bones of their relatives, and they were their most precious
A precious thing. So the angry shark clashed with Xiaolong and taught him a lesson.
Long didn't say anything, and the girl didn't point it out.
As the sun rises and the moon sets, every time the sun rises, one of the scales on the dragon's body will be lost, and a new inch of cloth will be spun out of the girl's hand. Before the dragon's cultivation could no longer continue, she finally knitted it for him.
Once he puts on the clothes, he will look like a shark and can live as a shark.
Finally one day, he pulled out all the useful dragon scales.
The fisherman was no longer a poor boy who made a living by fishing. Relying on the windfall from Dragon Scale, he built a magnificent house, married a wife and took concubines, and was very happy. He knew very well that many people envied him and wished he could
Eat bones and eat meat. So, when he found out that the sharks could no longer deliver treasures, he came up with a brilliant idea - an idea that he had originally given up.
One night, a drunken fisherman walked to the beach, sat on the shore, and laughed proudly at the captive sharks:
"You are about to go see the king! Go see the great world - the days of glory and wealth have passed! I will give the king... hiccup, repair a letter, and present a shark as a gift. The king wants to reward me,
Give me a high official position... No one will dare to touch me anymore, haha, otherwise the monarch will not let them go!"
The girl has to go anyway, and will be sent to a deep palace far away from the sea as a rare object.
Sent closer to death.
The dragon under the water also heard it. His eyes were red and his eyes were about to burst. He wanted to rush out and beat this shameless villain until he died in pain... But the dragon couldn't do it. He lost his dragon scales, and not only did his cultivation become complete.
No, even now he is just a mermaid. As long as he takes off these clothes, he will probably die on the spot.
This night passed too quickly. It seemed that he had not been talking to the girl for long before the morning light could no longer be suppressed and overflowed the horizon. The dim light of the morning passed through the sea and the two looked deeply at each other through the huge net.
Long's throat seemed to be tighter. He suddenly reached out his hand and covered his face.
"What's wrong?" The girl was worried, "Don't be sad, I know this day will definitely come... Or are you not feeling well? What's wrong with you?"
His abdomen and waist sank, his throat rolled slightly, and then he raised his face. Holding in his palm was a flawless white bead.
"This is the last thing I can give you." He put the dragon ball into the girl's hand. "The fishermen only care about money and will not care about your life and death. Once they get what they want, they will probably hide away. You
If you are afraid of encountering difficulties with your king, just give this to them, and you can get anything for yourself... Let them bring you new sea water and new food every day!"
The girl shook her head and wanted to say something else, but the fishermen had already brought the messenger sent by the court. Long had to turn around and leave.
He hid under the water and watched as she was stuffed into a luxurious box with very little sea water inside. The girl understood that she would not be long away from the sea. And while she was suffering, the fishermen would be rewarded.
It will be an eye-opener for the king.
She didn't want these people to get their wish, and she would never fulfill their wishes.
Humans are so arrogant that they regard other races as playthings, completely forgetting that the sharks also have pride.
The girl took out the small shuttle, gritted her teeth, and plunged it deeply into her beautiful fish tail.
It hurt, it was heartbreaking, like a soldering iron churning inside her body, and ice filling her organs. She never stopped, trembling and ferociously cutting open the long tail inch by inch. When the tip of the shuttle finally cut open the last point of the tail fin and connected it.
The skin and flesh broke with a slight sound.
The girl also collapsed in the box, and she lost consciousness from the severe pain.
When she opened her eyes again, she didn't know how much time had passed. But she should still be on the road, because it was still dark in front of her, and she was still in a long and narrow box. Only a little breathable light from above shone, and those holes were so small that even if
She couldn't see the outside world clearly even if she raised her eyes. She tried, but now she didn't have the strength. Rather, being shocked that she was still alive at this moment had consumed too much of her remaining energy.
.
After a long time, she struggled to stand up and looked at her destroyed tail.
