Xiao Shiyu knew as soon as he heard that the demon in the water had probably done something harmful to nature, and now he was caught by his second boss. This was considered a cycle of cause and effect, and he was not happy with his retribution.
but……
"I remember that mermaids like to live as a whole group. They always live in the deep sea. Ordinary people can hardly see one in their lifetime. How did you catch this mermaid?"
Xiao Shiyu asked about the key to this matter.
Shen Qingyuan's eyes fell on the two gills under the mermaid's jaw, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"The color of this scale..."
She took out the large scale that Jiang Su gave her and carefully twisted the texture of the scale with her fingers.
"This is an ordinary sea fish." She concluded. The scales and gills on the "mermaid" in the water tank were the same as those in her hand. There was a big fish on the ground just now, which was also a sea fish.
illustrate……
This is not a mermaid...this is a fish demon transformed into a creature.
The shark is a shark, a unique sea monster. It is half human and half fish since birth, and it definitely does not have the prototype of a fish.
The big fish on the ground that day was obviously of the same species as the monster in the tank.
Shen Qingyuan immediately said loudly and decisively: "This place is caused by a fish demon."
"Pah, pah, pah—"
"Hehe, you are so smart, Manager Shen. He is indeed a member of the Shen family!"
The girl in green clapped her hands happily and said with a smile: "This matter is a long story. But I can keep it short."
"..."
Xiao Shiyu: Did she learn the speaking skills from Uncle Jiang...
"This place is called Xin City. Hundreds of years ago, in order to lead the people to escape the war, the lord of the city moved his entire family to the Shifangmen Immortal Mountain and lived in seclusion along the coast. They relied on the sea to eat, and their life was considered comfortable."
All the scenes in Jiang Su's sea of consciousness overturned and collapsed at this time, and a new scene was rebuilt in the darkness.
Some people were displaced and left their homes. Under the war, one person took the whole city and their families to move to a remote and remote area.
"It's just that they didn't know that a natural disaster occurred at a certain time and they developed a new belief. It is the sea sacrifice to pray for the sea to have enough food and clothing."
Jiang Su narrated the story in a smooth and clear voice. Xiao Shiyu and Shen Qingyuan frowned when they heard the word "sea sacrifice". They knew what it meant to mortals.
Nothing unexpected happened.
"The sea festival here is to throw girls born in autumn into the sea to feed the fish. Five sisters got a high-grade magic weapon by chance and massacred the city. Later, they accidentally discovered that this magic weapon could transform ordinary fish into fish. Demon, and the fish blood of the fish demon.”
"Well, you all know the effect. These five sisters sold part of the fish blood and took part of it themselves. Now they are not happy with the retribution. After I took away the magic weapon, they all turned from humans into half-human and half-demon. of……"
"Mermaid."
When Jiang Su mentioned these two words, his face was full of enjoyment, as if he was blessed by an extremely wonderful magic.
Xiao Shiyu and Shen Qingyuan didn't have much reaction when they heard her adventure, but they also nodded slightly.
They don't understand what it's like to find an almost mythical creature from their own world in a different world.
Xiao and Chen only care about Jiang Su's ability to obtain a large amount of fish blood, and have no compassion for this deserted city.
The past in the girl's mouth was a story she told in just two breaths. For the deceased people in the city, especially those girls from the Sea Festival, it was a dark purgatory on earth.
Good and evil will be rewarded in the end.
Everything for mortals must be borne by themselves.
"It's so cliché..." The girl in green suddenly sighed in the silent atmosphere.
"The magic weapon you obtained can turn fish into monsters and extract fish blood, so what do you plan to do with this thing?" Xiao Shiyu frowned slightly and asked unhurriedly.
at the same time.
"What is the new recipe for Shiquan Wan you are talking about?" Shen Qingyuan spoke almost at the same time as the man in purple.
The two voices were mixed together, and even the two themselves could not hear clearly what they said.
"..."
"..."
"I came first, I asked first." Xiao Shiyu said.
"You talk more, I talk less, I take the lead." Shen Qingyuan disagreed.
"Why do you ask first if you don't talk much?"
"Just because I don't talk much."
"Can't you say more?"
"I don't like to talk nonsense."
Jiang Su: "..."
What are they arguing about? Why do they look so much like elementary school students???
"Xiao Shiyu, you are the son of a world-renowned swordsman, what are you arguing about here?" Jiang Su said happily, without any intention of speaking for him.
Xiao Shiyu stared at Jiang Su coldly. When he heard this, the seriousness on his face when he was arguing with others disappeared, and he glanced at Shen Qingyuan beside him with an extremely speechless expression.
"You have to think about Yu Su Tang."
His voice was thick and deep, and his aura that had always been reserved for those under him was revealed at this moment.
Jiang Su waved his hand indifferently, "Okay, okay, I'll answer you first."
What serious stuff are you talking about? Aren't you just asking me a question to see who I answer first? Are you competing for favor here?
"There is ready-made fish blood, and they have saved it. Let's take it away. As for their previous work of raising demons and getting fish blood... I won't do it."
"This is very annoying to do."
"This is what the people at Spirit Beast Peak do. I only raise spirit plants, not spirit beasts, and I don't become a butcher. I've killed enough things."
Jiang Su had no intention of continuing to turn fish into monsters and continue the old method of killing fish to extract their blood.
Not long ago, Jiang Su heard outside the door that these five sisters had saved a batch of fish blood. The amount was quite large, and they originally planned to use it to exchange for some elixirs from merchants in a few days.
Unexpectedly, medical treatment came directly from heaven.
Xiao Shiyu listened carefully to Jiang Su's complaints and silently considered in his mind what to do with the fish blood in the future.
"Then how about I take care of you."
He himself has experience raising white rabbits for drug testing, so he must have no problem raising fish.
"You?" Jiang Su's teasing expression instantly disappeared. Only at this moment did she realize that Xiao Shiyu was a real monk.
He is the son of the Sword Immortal, and he is a person who understands natural selection and survival of the winner better than himself, who lives in a world where everyone is equal.
Demons are life, but for a person who is on the road to immortality after birth, demons are just demons.
It makes no difference to him whether it is a fish-turned-demon or a rat flea.
Jiang Su has always been more concerned about the gap between mortals and monks, but he has forgotten that monks are at the top of the entire cultivation world.
What's more... the son of the Sword Immortal.
Ordinary monks would have no chance to talk to Xiao Shiyu.
"Okay. It's up to you."
The girl in green took out five recently acquired hairpins from her sleeves and handed them to Xiao Shiyu.
"Hairpin??? The magic weapon you are talking about is a hairpin??? or a wooden hairpin with pink flowers???"
These five hairpins are made of ebony and have smooth tentacles. There are large pink flowers growing at the ends of the hairpins.
