【Boom Out】Mermaid

Chapter 18

Green Valley's body slowly recovered, and after a few days in this lair that could not see the passage of time, he proposed to Hong Jiaodong that he wanted to go out and have a look. At the highest place, I found the pair of dusty, old sailor shoes that had been dried. I lowered my head and squeezed Green Gu’s ankles to put them on carefully. Mentally prepared to be dragged into the heart-piercing sea water, Hong Jiao Dong watched him trembling in the dark blue water, paused, and stopped the trembling Green Valley from shrinking into his arms nervously, He pointed to the top of the hole coldly and said to him:

"You can climb out of it."

Green Valley froze for a moment, he looked at the top of the mountain which was piled up with all kinds of gemstones and agates he had never seen before, occasionally there would be a glimmer of white light, he never knew there was an exit, he had some Looking hesitantly at the calm and indifferent mermaid, he asked in a low voice:

"—Is it me going out from above, and Hong swimming out of the sea below?"

Hong Jiaodong nodded silently, Lu Gu looked up at him, it seemed that he had a lot to say, but he couldn't even organize the language well, and Lu Gu didn't understand why he wanted to get to the bottom of this kind of place, he was just complicated and difficult. Looking discreetly at the mermaid's emotionless eyes, he asked dryly:

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away directly?"

The mermaid looked up at him, and he stretched out his webbed to stick to his soft and warm cheek, which was wet and cold, and soon became warm under his adjustment, his webbed gently Sticking it on the forehead of Green Valley, he seems to like to touch Green Valley like this, brushing his skin with webs as if absently, and occasionally using his lips, like a piece that his mother would put on when he was young when he was sick. The white towel soaked in hot water and gin on his forehead is full of unique warmth—

—but he was a creature of the sea, old Charlie had warned the naive sailor hysterically, that these monsters had no feelings, they were just man-eating fish of the sea, and any fish he had ever seen in port with its fangs open and ready to be slaughtered There is no difference between human beings, just like human beings will not fall in love with the rye bread placed on the dining table, and mermaids will not fall in love with human beings who are obsessed with them. No creature will fall in love with their food. There is only appetite, not love.

Hong Jiaodong asked him: "Will you run away?"

Green Valley lowered his head and didn't answer him. He left him a silent silence. Green Valley didn't like to lie to others, so the mermaid didn't wait for an answer. He paused for a moment and said:

"Then run faster and don't let me catch you, okay?"

After the mermaid finished speaking, he took a deep look at Green Valley. He stood on the bank and came out of the water to approach Green Valley. His eyelashes were covered with crystal drops of water, and his nose was close to the tip of his nose. Green Valley could smell The smell of melting rocks in the ocean and frozen ice on the sea surface, the mermaid seemed to want to touch him, or kiss him, or hug him, but in the end he did nothing, turned around and dived into the sea without saying a word, and Green Valley stayed where he was After a while, he began to climb the mountain full of jewels and gold coins. He looked up at the small opening, and a beam of light illuminated his pale face. He didn't know it was the sea water left by the mermaid. Whether it was water marks or other water marks, he raised his hand and wiped his eyes, making his nose and eyes red, and he gritted his teeth and stepped on the exposed knight armor to reveal a nest.

The wind mixed with snow and crushed ice brushed past his face. The bright, pure white light cut his eyes like a knife. He panted heavily and used his hands to block the light reflected by the ice from all directions. It was difficult. He dragged his lower body out of the narrow hole, sitting on a domed cave that looked like a baroque chapel, where his eyes could reach was a layer of unchanging ice, large pieces of ice spliced ​​together In a completely white world, as if the colors had been washed away by the falling snow, he slid down from the hole and stepped on the ice carefully, making cracks as fine as needles.

Under the thick ice, he saw a blurry huge fish tail passing by, he didn't know whose fish tail it was, maybe it was a bang, or it was from some other mermaid, Or just the tail of a big fish that can eat people. He took a deep breath and started to run on the ice. He could hear the "click" sound under his feet every time he ran. scratched his cheek as well, the twilight light climbed against the ice, he didn't look back, he didn't look down, he knew he could see the cracks running all the way from his feet as if he stopped, could see the cracks The tail of the fish that is moving forward with him is like a precarious glass box holding a mermaid, like a flaming shell house trapped on a cliff, every breath of white breath he exhales is melting this cold world , maybe he melted first, or maybe he fell into the gap.

The ice surface became thinner and thinner as he ran, and the sound of cracks he could hear became louder and louder. He could clearly see the thin, mirror-like ice under his feet with a trail following him. The silver mermaid, the ice surface is uneven, he couldn't see the expression of the mermaid clearly, he could only see the mermaid was torn apart one by one under the ice that he stepped on, and he stepped on the broken ice and began to shake, the mermaid stopped He came down and emerged from the water. He quietly watched the sailors drifting away with the ice from a distance. They looked at each other silently. The mermaid suddenly stepped forward. Pick out two similar pieces from the ice, and return all the rest—it is a pile of small white shells.

The mermaid held the two small shells tightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "You go, I won't chase anymore."

Green Valley stopped running, he knelt on the ice, lowered his head, he was panting violently, the sweat condensed into fluid dripped from his chin, melting a little A depression, the size of a shell, he said to the mermaid hoarsely and honestly:

"I, I can't run anymore."

He asked abruptly: "Boom, if possible, would you eat me, just like you eat other fish?" The little curly-haired sailor laughed to himself without waiting for the mermaid to answer, and he squinted His eyes were smiling, he coughed and laughed while panting in embarrassment, his smile was like a water bird passing by the sea, he was extremely exhausted, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Forget it, boom, even if you want to eat me , I can’t even run now.”

Green Valley lay on his back on the ice, covered his eyes with his hands and breathed rapidly, the rushing blood in his body and the suppressed anxiety that could not escape dissipated on the ice field along the heat of his breath, he slowly undulated Rubbing his chest, he remembered the story the merman had told him about finding this place to nest.

The mermaid was born from a volcano, and a part of its body is always hot, tormenting the newborn mermaid day and night. The mermaid is a cold-blooded animal, but his blood seems to be on the verge of boiling forever. , it is colder here than other places. He can control his restless high temperature through the outside temperature. In the pain of being licked by the flames, he sleeps alone on the ice, listening to the ice being baked by his own blood and skin. Baked to the sound of melting, he can't really sleep, because when this torture is over, his body temperature will quickly return to normal cold, and if he falls asleep, the re-frozen ice will turn into a solidified ice sculpture .

Therefore, from the extreme heat to the extreme cold, he must be awake all the time in the torture of bone and flesh.

Green Valley turned around on the ice to avoid the light, the ice layer under him was already as thin as the wings of a dragonfly in summer, even a small movement of his body would have cracked lines on it, He looked sideways at the mermaid under the ice. The mermaid's webs were sticking to the ice, and Green Valley stretched out his hand with difficulty. He thought it was a bit funny, but he wanted to finish the game with inexplicable persistence—he and The mermaid clasped their fingers across the ice, and the mermaid looked at him in confusion, as if she didn't understand what the always strange human beings were doing.

The strange human actually doesn't understand himself, he just simply thinks that the mermaid needs a touch, not to say goodbye, nor to get back to a person, Green Valley doesn't understand why old Charlie is so frightened, these guys have feelings, have Expressive, logical, they can think and let themselves go, sometimes cruelly dragging him into the arena as a prize to play with, and sometimes showing pride in winning an expensive king's emerald crown With a smile, he would embrace himself in the ice and snow, and would quietly look up at him through the ice.

Their cruelty and innocence coexist, beauty and immortality, they are the most miraculous creations that Green Valley has ever seen, as if carefully sculpted by the gods and ignorant pets, they are born with all the things that human beings pursue forever, but they are ignorant, They can smash a crown without a care, and treasure a cheap seashell given by a sailor.

They can easily mate with the plundering humans, and when he is saying goodbye, he is reluctant to give him a kiss.

The body temperature of the mermaid and human melted the ice. Green Valley heard the sound of the mirror breaking. The mermaid broke through the mirror and came in front of him. Green Valley closed his eyes and fell into the water. He tenderly and irresistibly gave the mermaid a Kiss as cheap as a shell.

The mermaid closed her eyes to cherish this moment.

The gold melted into a lake, the rotten wooden box barely burned under the high temperature, the gems fell into the sea water, and the golden mermaid was covered in scales, like a dragon about to molting, he roared, the whole cave The sea water was evaporated into mist, and the hoarse roar was looming in the dense white mist. He was like a ferocious reptile trapped in a narrow rock cage, crashing and destroying him everywhere, and the high temperature roasted his exposed wound section. .

His eyes were scarlet, and the pupils inside formed diamond-shaped gemstones. His tail, which had been pierced by various growing bones, flicked violently. Countless gold coins and broken rocks fell into the sea from the earthquake, and the mermaid lay flat. Panting hoarsely on the shore, he violently tore off a piece of scaly skin from his neck, exposing a large area of ​​bloody wounds on his entire back. In the sea water, the scalding wound made a sound like a branding iron meeting water, and there was a "zi" sound, and Baohao didn't even raise his eyebrows.

He raised his head, breathed heavily, his strong chest muscles were covered with mottled wounds, trembling slightly, he licked the sharper fangs, narrowed his eyes slightly, his Adam's apple slid up and down, his mouth full made him Disgusted by the smell of blood, the mermaid ushered in their first breeding season in a sea of ​​flames with a look of displeasure.

The first breeding season of this mermaid, Baohao, who is completely unconventional, should have come a year ago, but this mermaid, who is keen on fighting and fighting too much, was seriously injured during the transition period. After a year, the transition period for normal mermaids is generally one to two months. The backlash of the first breeding period that was originally postponed is more ferocious than the first time for ordinary mermaids, not to mention that it is hard to catch them back. The little sailor who was just about to take it to the arena to scare it would be useful, but he was snatched away by a fucking fish.

Bakugo almost exuded a violent aura of wanting to kill fish from every pore, he frowned, sniffed the air, and dived into the bottom of the sea——

—he smelled gunpowder smoke and explosives.
