If you can't eat grass, you will be eaten

Han Xiu and the others have been downstream for a long time, which means that the place where they are now is very far from the sea.It stands to reason that the deep sea is a place where the sun does not shine, it is cold and dark.But it is different here, the clear water does not hinder the penetration of sunlight, and the entire seabed is bright.

The temperature of the sea water is neither cold nor hot, which makes people feel very comfortable. Soaking in the sea seems to have returned to the safest harbor.When the sharks reached the bottom of the sea, they still swam happily in the sea with their fish tails.Han Xiu and the others stepped on the fine white sand under their feet and walked slowly as if they were on land.

Passing the coral reefs on the way, countless brightly colored small fish are playing and playing on them, which is very lively.

Captain Merman led Han Xiu and the others into their gathering area.Han Xiu had imagined what the Merman's residence would look like before.But what he didn't expect was that there wasn't any human-like residence on the bottom of the sea.All are huge shells in which the mermaids sleep at night.

Many strangers saw them and swam around curiously, while the more courageous ones stepped forward to say hello to them.

Yingcao smiled foolishly and waved to these enthusiastic sharks, and Banruo, who was walking beside him, smiled lightly.Yingcao withdrew her hand in embarrassment, and smiled shyly at Banruo.Seeing this, Prajna smiled even more heartily: "You are so cute."

Ibaraki snorted coldly at the side: "Too stupid!"

The smile on Yingcao's face disappeared, he didn't want to and didn't have the guts to argue with Ibaraki.When Ibaraki hadn't fully recovered his memory before, Hotaru began to worry about how he would treat them after recovering his memory.So even though Hotaru liked Ibaraki very much at that time, he didn't dare to get too close to Ibaraki.

Because he was afraid that Ibaraki would disdain a weak monster like him after recovering his memory.But the fact is just as he thought, the current Ibaraki seems very displeased with his existence.It's okay, it's okay, I didn't get too close to Ibaraki at the beginning, otherwise I'm afraid I will be even more sad.

The merman captain stopped in front of a very large shell.He opened the shell and took out a small golden conch.He blew the conch horn to announce the arrival of the guests to all the sharks.

A mermaid girl happily swam over: "Are you guests from afar? It's amazing that you don't even have a fish tail!"

"Jiaotu, you came just in time." Captain Shark stopped Jiaotu, "From tomorrow onwards we can freely go to the beach to play. For this reason, I decided to hold a grand banquet tomorrow night. Now we We are going to prepare for the banquet tomorrow night, and you are responsible for receiving our guests."

Jiaotu was very happy, patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me."

Captain Yuren turned around and bid farewell to Han Xiu and the others.Before leaving, he said to Jiaotu, "Be polite to your guests."

"Got it, got it." Jiaotu waved his hand at Captain Merman and said nonchalantly, "I'm already a big girl, I know all these things."

Jiaotu enthusiastically took Han Hanxiu and the others for a walk on the bottom of the sea, but Han Xiu was obviously absent-minded.When the number of sharks around decreased, Han Xiu finally couldn't hold back, and asked from the side: "Girl, we actually came to Haizhonghai to ask you for help."

"Don't call me a girl, just call me Jiaotu." The enthusiastic Jiaotu waved his hand, "Just tell me if you have anything to do, and I will definitely help you if it can help you. After all, you are also the great benefactors of our clan. "

Han Xiu didn't dare to show clearly that he knew the existence of the shark beads, because it would easily arouse the vigilance of the sharks.Han Xiu pointed to the little deer man and said, "That's right, my partner, there is an evil thing sealed on the little deer man. Even though that thing is sealed, there is still an aura that occasionally leaks out, making the little deer man often the target of public criticism. We heard that the mermaids have their own special magic weapon to deal with evil things, so we came here to ask for help."

Jiao Tu heard the words and leaned towards the little deer man. She leaned closer to the little deer man and took a closer look. She didn't find anything strange about him, but she was very interested in the pair of antlers on the little deer man's head.

She couldn't help but wanted to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Han Xiu: "You have never seen a sika deer in the sea, so it is understandable to be curious. But please don't touch the horns of the little deer man, because this action is harmful to the little deer man. It has a special meaning.”

Jiaotu withdrew his hand and apologized to them: "I'm sorry, I don't know, I won't touch the little deer man's horns anymore. But I just took a look at the little deer man, and I didn't find any evil aura about him."

Han Xiu explained: "That thing has been sealed. But when the little deer man is emotional, it will still reveal an evil aura, which is suitable for many people to fight for it. The little deer man has been suffering from it, so we thought of coming here for help , please seal it completely."

Jiaotu groaned, and after thinking for a long time, he replied: "We don't know the sealing technique, and we haven't heard that we can suppress evil spirits. Otherwise, we would have saved Sister Yu long ago, how could we let her be eroded? Waiting for so many years?"

"Is there really nothing to do?" Han Xiu became anxious. Anyone who knew that what he had done these days was all useless would be very annoyed.

And if even the last hope is lost, what should the little deer man do?Is it going to be like this for the rest of my life?Can't laugh, can't cry?

"There will always be errors in legends passed by word of mouth, and it is not clear how much of the content is feasible." Banruo suddenly said, "But the legends should all have a basis, so Jiaotu, can you help me think about what you have? Something like that?"

Jiaotu scratched his head, thought for a long time, then raised his head abruptly and said in surprise, "It seems that there really are!"

"What is it?" Han Xiu's eyes lit up, staring at Jiaotu closely, for fear that he might miss a little bit.

"Shark beads." Jiaotu stroked his chin and said, "I once heard from grandma that shark beads were very popular among humans when sharks lived with humans. I asked grandma why, and grandma told me It is said that shark beads can help human beings to calm down. Just now you also said that only when the little deer man is emotional will his breath leak out, so just need a shark bead."

Han Xiu's heart skipped a beat, the Shark Pearl really exists!

Han Xiu couldn't suppress his excitement, and couldn't wait to ask, "How can I get the Shark Pearl?"

Jiaotu said with a smile: "The name of the shark bead just sounds better, but it is not a valuable item. I don't know if it really works."

"No matter what the result is, we should give it a try." Han Xiu calmed down a little, "I just don't know how to get shark beads?"

"We sharks are born in shells, and shark pearls are the pearls that accompany us when we are born. Every shark has them, but they don't have any real function. I just happen to have one here." Jiaotu said from the collar nonchalantly. He took out a rope with something like a milky white pearl strung on it and handed it to Han Xiu.

Han Xiu hesitated for a moment, it sounds like Shark Pearl is not as insignificant as Jiaotu said.But selfishness still prevailed, Han Xiu took the shark bead and asked, "How should I use this?"

"I don't know how to use it either." Jiaotu shrugged, "I've been carrying this thing since I was born, and I don't see any other uses for it other than decoration."

Holding the shark bead, Han Xiu was at a loss. For some reason, he stretched out his hand and gently pressed the shark bead on the little deer man's forehead.The next moment, it was clearly a solid solid, but it seemed to melt and seep into the little deer man's forehead little by little. After a while, the shark bead disappeared.

The little deer man touched his forehead blankly.Others also looked surprised, especially Jiao Tu, who never thought that shark beads could melt.

"Do you feel anything? Is there any effect?" Han Xiu gently stroked the smooth skin on the deer man's forehead.

The little deer man replied helplessly: "I don't feel anything at all."

"How could this be?" Han Xiu turned to look at Jiaotu.

Jiaotu immediately responded: "Look at me, I don't know, I don't even know that shark beads can enter the human body."

Han Xiu was helpless, Jiaotu was still too young, maybe ask an older person later and he would get the answer they wanted.

Jiaotu found that the light in the sea was gradually dimming, and immediately shouted: "The light has dimmed, and it will be dark soon. When it gets dark, you will be unable to see anything. Go fast, I will take you to find a place to live. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Jiaotu hurriedly pulled them to swim forward.It was completely dark when they arrived at their accommodation.Jiaotu's face was a little stiff, she observed it with the light of the lantern fish that occasionally passed by, and then pointed to a huge shell and said: "It's getting dark, I'll live there with you tonight. "

Everyone had no objection, Jiaotu stepped forward and tapped the huge shell, and the shell opened neatly, revealing the warm residence inside.Jiaotu swam in after a short swipe, and then waved to the people outside: "Come in, I heard strange noises at night, and grandma once warned me not to go out at night."

Everyone followed Jiaotu into the shell, and then the shell closed the fan shell, leaving only a small gap to prevent them from suffocating.Jiaotu groped inside the shell and found a mechanism. She turned the mechanism lightly, and the shell gradually lit up.The light is soft and not harsh.

Han Xiu looked towards the place where the light was shining, and it turned out that there were night pearls scattered everywhere in the shell.When lighting is needed, just turn the button and remove the curtain covering the night pearl.

Jiao Tu patted his chest, looking very scared: "Fortunately, I caught up. Grandma has always warned me to hide in the shell as soon as it gets dark, and not to run around at will, otherwise I will be killed by monsters."

Han Xiu looked terrified, as if Jiaotu had survived the catastrophe, and thought of her inconspicuous behavior before.She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, guess what Jiaotu said just now was deliberately made up by her grandma to deceive the child.

The night was getting darker, but Han Xiu couldn't sleep, and he was silently thinking about how to find out more about the Shark Pearl tomorrow, and how to completely suppress the charming heart in the little deer man.

Suddenly, a trembling voice came: "It's so dark, so scary." The soft and thin voice kept repeating these two sentences tremblingly. It sounded that the owner of the voice was really terrified.Han Xiu couldn't help but think of what Jiaotu said earlier. Could it be that those words were not made up to deceive children, but the truth?

Han Xiu wanted to go out and take a look, but he remembered the new bride he met when he first arrived. Could this cry be made by the monster, with the purpose of tricking them out of the shell?

Han Xiu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he woke up the others.Jiaotu was trembling with fright when he heard the crying statement, but he was worried about the compatriots outside, so he ran around anxiously.

Yingcao also moved to the gap between the shells and looked out worriedly, while his body was trembling uncontrollably.Prajna at the side patted Yingcao reassuringly.

Ibaraki turned his head away from looking at Yingcao, and said coldly: "Too weak." After speaking, he pried open the shell with his left hand and walked out.
