Yokai Edible Guide

"...Don't touch it," Li Yize said suddenly, "Put it back."

Peng Yu stopped his movements and looked up at him suspiciously: "Do you know what this is?"

Li Yize bent down and carefully looked at the thing in the "bell": "It should be the egg of a shark."

"……egg?"

"This thing... I seem to have heard of it," Dou Tu pulled a few fishermen who had been thrown into the sea ashore, and pulled the rope towards him. They are very hostile to us, and we must be careful, and they also say that some female mermaids wear hollow bells, if we see them, we must not inquire about them.”

Li Yize nodded: "Of course you can't ask, it's their child."

Dou Tu shuddered all over: "I won't say a word after going to the island, it's too scary."

Peng Yu buckled the bell again, found a stone to hold down the rope tied to it, let the eggs in the bell soak in the sea water, and asked to himself, "Merman...do they lay eggs? I thought They should be like people."

Li Yize then said: "Although they are called mermaids, their habits are actually fish-like, and their reproductive method is the same as that of fish. In vitro fertilization, after the female mermaids lay eggs, the male mermaids will look for those eggs and fertilize them."

Listening to his serious science popularization, Peng Yu always felt something strange, and looked at him in surprise: "I feel that from the appearance, you dragons and fish are quite similar, so why do you lay eggs, and ..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yize narrowed his eyes slightly, and leaned into his ear and said, "You seem to have always been interested in my reproductive structure?"

Peng Yu took two steps back and laughed three times: "Hahaha, no."

Li Yize stared at his face for a while, then slowly retracted: "In fact, our dragon is more like a snake. It is not completely unreasonable for Xu Bing to use the method of judging the sex of a snake on a dragon."

He didn't want to give someone a chance to have an idea, so he continued on his own: "The merman race's pregnancy rate is not high, because they have certain human characteristics, and the number of eggs they lay is not many, and their eggs are not fertile like dragon eggs. The hard shell is basically unable to resist the predation of other organisms."

"So they came up with a way," he looked at the hollowed-out bell, "after the female mermaids lay eggs, they will put the eggs in a container with holes and carry them with them, and the male mermaids can pass through the container." The eggs inside are directly fertilized, the eggs develop and mature inside, and finally break out of the container, which greatly reduces the chance of being predated at the egg stage."

Peng Yu said "Oh" as if suddenly realizing it, and tapped his finger on the bell lightly: "So there are all baby sharks here? Then tell me... Will the sharks see us save these little sharks?" Treat us better for the sake of people?"

Li Yize looked far away: "Maybe."

Peng Yu suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, I think you can give biology lessons to the little monsters in the kindergarten."

Li Yize glanced at him casually and didn't answer him: "What I'm more concerned about is that the mermaids have been bullied for so many years, but they never came to complain to the dragons, and even the immortals didn't try to know when they went to the island to pick up conch. Huitianjie... is there any problem in this?"

"what do you mean……?"

"I don't mean anything, I just find it strange," Li Yize said, "If you say you don't find the heavens because you don't trust humans, why don't you even trust the aquarium itself? Is it because you think the Sea Dragon King can't make decisions for them?"

Peng Yu pursed his lips and said nothing, Li Yize sighed softly: "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now anyway, when Qingming arrives, let's go directly to the island to have a look."

The other two had no objection, and the fishermen didn't dare to have it if they wanted it. Li Yize waved at Doutu: "I ask you, go to Mirage...Aside from the date requirement, are there any other conditions?"

"Of course, otherwise, when the day comes, any moth will be able to get in." Dou Tu tied the rope around his arm, and took out a pearl as big as a human's eyeball from his body, "This is a token, you must have it Only the merman race recognizes it, and..."

He clung to each other's ears and said in a voice that could only be heard by each other: "And if you want to go to the mirage, you have to take a boat, and the logo of our fairy world will be marked on the bottom of the boat, and there will be a little fish demon sent by the mermaids to investigate for them. Forgot to play or made a mistake, they will not let us in if there is a token, and the mirage barrier is not open, so we can only wait until next year."

"I see," Li Yize nodded, "I said they wouldn't be so careless—we still have to rely on you to get to the mirage."

"Hey, that's necessary." Dou Tu readily agreed, "Then what should we do now, go back to the hotel?"

Li Yize thought for a while and said, "You go back first, lock these up, and then bring the mirage to be identified by the mermaids, and you also take the corpse first, and find a place to store it."

"No problem, I'll call my senior brother." Doutu said, loaded all the corpses of several fishermen and mermaids onto the fishing boat, and used spells to urge the boat to sail north.

The remaining two stayed on the island for the time being. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they hid themselves from the moment they landed on the island.Peng Yu looked around and found that there were patrol boats passing by from a distance from time to time, he couldn't help but wondered, "It's so strange, they use this place as a place to kill mermaids, aren't they afraid of being discovered?"

"There is magic on that boat, which can hide its whereabouts in front of human beings." Li Yize sat down slowly on the beach, and the dragon's eyes shrank into a vertical line because of the bright sunlight. "It should be given by Haishi, otherwise people would I don’t want to take this risk to catch sharks.”

Peng Yu also sat down next to him: "It seems that the management ability of the South China Sea tribe is not good, and the patrols are not as diligent as humans."

Li Yize showed no expression: "There are too many boats, which greatly interfere with the Shui Clan, just like the Suzaku Clan canceled their territory inspections in order to avoid affecting the route."

Suddenly Peng Yu was choked by his words, opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. After a long time, he slowly lowered his eyes, stretched his limbs, and lay down on the beach as if carelessly.

The sand is warmed by the sun, and you can see the blue sky, which is connected to the sea at the end of the line of sight, boundless, as if spreading out into a long scroll that spans time and space.People in this painting are just tiny dots, like a transparent drop of water, billions of them gather together to form a vast ocean.

Li Yize suddenly turned into a dragon shape, lying there with a long one. The undulating and continuous dragon spine outlines a beautiful curve. His 5000-year life has witnessed too many vicissitudes of life, but nothing can shake that tough dragon tendon, even after suffering. Even though it has been severely injured, it still needs to grow tenaciously.

Peng Yu leaned against him, gently stroking those jade-like scales, and seemed to see some fleeting fragments from the densely arranged scales, each segment was like a unique auspicious light Kataha never repeats and is irreplaceable.

Li Yize turned his head and blew the opponent's hair with his snort. The two dragon whiskers followed suit and rolled up in front of Peng Yu. He grabbed him and pulled him towards him.

Li Yize was forced to approach him, Peng Yu slowly hugged his neck, and his eyes fell on his neck - where there was a piece of inverted scales, like a crescent moon.

The amber dragon's eyes narrowed again, and Peng Yu didn't seem to feel the other party's gaze. He brushed his finger against the reverse scale and asked softly, "If I touch it, will you be angry?"

"You can try," Li Yize's expression remained unchanged, "but I advise you not to do this to other dragons."

Peng Yu hesitated for a moment, whether he didn't press his finger up, and slid to the side quietly: "Forget it, there must be a limit to death, I'm not that hard to think about it yet."

Li Yize's eyes were filled with some emotion, and his gaze softened. He stared at the other party for a while, and suddenly stretched out his claws to pinch his wrist, leading him to put his palm on the reverse scale on his neck.

Peng Yu trembled all over, and raised his head in astonishment. He could only see calmness and peace from the dragon's face. His image was reflected in the amber dragon's eyes, which happened to overlap with the shrunken vertical pupils, like a dragon. Like a distinctive mark.

What he touched was clearly only a hard scale, but he seemed to touch something softer through that scale—the blood flowed under the scales and injected into the dragon's limbs, like a rushing river and lake. Hai finally returned to that point, exuding a scorching temperature under his palm, and through the scar on his palm, it seemed to resonate with him.

Peng Yu slowly moved his upper lip, kissed his scales lightly, and then raised his head suddenly: "You don't seem to be quite right today, is there something you are hiding from me?"

Li Yize didn't speak, just stared at him intently, until Peng Yu himself questioned his doubts, he hesitated: "Forget it, if you don't have it, then you don't have it."

The corner of Li Yize's mouth lifted slightly, and a gust of wind passed, and he returned to his human form: "What do you want me to hide from you? I just stole your bone whistle?"

"... Huh?" Peng Yu hurriedly got up from the ground, touched his waist only to find that the whole bunch of keys were gone, and then he spread his hands helplessly, "You have first-class skills in shunning things, you say you are a dragon , can you stop doing such low-quality things?"

"I'll just let you go." Li Yize handed back the key to him without blushing, "I can only say that you are too defenseless."

Peng Yu fastened the key again, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and pushed him to the ground with a skillful force: "Yes, you are a dragon that burrows into people's chests all day long, and you are still jumping around. It is hard to guard against."

Li Yize was pushed down by him, and he just lay down obediently, shrouded in the shadow cast by the other party, and the curvature of the corners of his eyes actually revealed a bit of enjoyment.

He breathed in the breath cast by the other party with peace of mind, with a little warmth from being ironed in the sand, a few seabirds chirped in his ears, and soon they automatically pulled away together with the sound of the sea, the sky and the earth shrank, and everything condensed There is a figure in the district, covering him tightly inside, making him curl up his tail and retract his paws willingly, just wanting to show his soft belly, Bo Jun licked it.

The sand by the sea was shaped into messy shapes by the two of them. Doutu returned alone with the sword and wanted to ask when the two guys would leave, but he almost fell off the sword because of the sight that caught his eye.

He hastened to stabilize the dangling sword, and raised his hand to cover his eyes: "Don't look at anything that's wrong, we immortals should keep the six senses clean, and the four senses are empty..."

As he was talking, he suddenly put his hand down again: "It's strange, I'm not practicing the way of ruthlessness...to learn, to learn."
