Yaohi Hill

The boy didn't expect that she would be so excited when she heard mermaid meat, and looked at her a little at a loss.

Shi Kui took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and continued to ask: "And then? What happened next..."

The young man paused, and then continued: "That day... when someone in the village was drawing water from the well, he found a strange piece of fish in the drawn water. Because he didn't know what it was, he gave the piece of fish to Master Yanyi in a nearby temple."

"The master said that this is a piece of mermaid meat, which is likely to bring bad luck. ... It's just that everyone knows the legend that human beings can live forever if they eat mermaid meat, so they didn't listen to the master's words. ... Out of selfishness , he didn't hand over the piece of meat, but ate the piece of mermaid meat with other people who knew the news..."

"The most terrifying thing happened. Those people... they didn't gain the ability to live forever, but turned into half-human, half-fish monsters! Those monsters... killed many people, and finally destroyed our village..."

When the young man said this, he was already choked up with sobs.

He was not very old in the first place, and after experiencing such a drastic change, the pain in his heart could no longer be expressed in words.

Shi Kui just sighed.

Everyone in the world pursues the dream of immortality, but no one realizes that there is such a terrible price hidden under the huge temptation.

Not everyone who eats mermaid meat can gain eternal life.

And eternal life will definitely not be as good as they imagined.

She couldn't help but want to comfort the poor boy in front of her: "It's okay... everything is over."

Hearing Shi Kui's soothing and gentle voice, the boy finally couldn't help crying, and finally realized that he seemed a little embarrassed in front of strangers like this, but when he met her pair full of pity and distress, Eyes, and couldn't help but feel sore in my heart.

Shi Kui wanted to visit the well, because the boy said that the mermaid meat was found in the water drawn from the well.

"Can you take me there to have a look? It's the well where the mermaid meat was found."

Hearing her words, the boy nodded, wiped his tears and said, "If Miko wants to see it, I can take you there..."

The village was in a mess, the originally lively scene seemed to exist only in his dreams, and all this was caused only by that illusory legend...

The young man who touched the scene couldn't help frowning tightly.

Even if there are still people in the village who survived, they have already fled elsewhere, and now he is the only one left.

The boy brought Tokioi to the side of the well.

"This is it." He said, but his eyes refused to look there, as if there were some monsters hiding in the well.

Shi Kui could understand his mood, she looked at his tense face without speaking, and cast her eyes on the well.

She suddenly found that there seemed to be a strange force around the wellhead.That is neither demon power nor spiritual power, but an indescribable, unprecedented and special thing.

Shi Kui couldn't help but walked towards there, but the boy grabbed his arm and said, "Master Miko...don't go near there!"

She turned her head and smiled at him and said, "It's okay, I just went to have a look."

The young man didn't understand what she was looking for, he just felt that the well was quite weird, and he didn't want the beautiful witch who saved his life to suffer bad luck.

He said stubbornly: "That well must be cursed... Without it, everyone wouldn't become a monster!"

But no matter how he tried to stop him, Shi Kui must go to see the well.

After all, in the past 50 years, this was the first time she encountered something related to mermaid meat.

It's just that when she walked to the mouth of the well, the jade of the four souls on her chest started to feel hot.

Shi Kui lowered her head slightly to look at the Jade of Four Souls she was caressing, its light seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.

"What is it trying to tell me?"

When she looked towards the unreachable bottom of the well, the light of the Jade of Four Souls seemed to have a soul gradually dimmed.

The fever just now seemed to have never happened at all.

Shi Kui suddenly had an idea—that is, she wanted to go to the bottom of the well to have a look.

Just by standing on it, you can't see clearly what's going on inside.

Since the mermaid meat was discovered from the water inside, more information about the mermaid can definitely be found below.

It's just that when she wanted to jump into the well, a hand grabbed her shoulder tightly, preventing her from jumping into the well.

"Master Miko... what are you doing?!"

It was the boy who was rescued by her just now, his eyes widened in astonishment, watching her movements in disbelief.

Shi Kui turned her head and said seriously: "I'm going down to check the situation, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Today, she is no longer the helpless and desperate woman she was in those days. Shiko Tokioi, who possesses the most powerful spiritual power in this era, after more than 50 years of practice, no matter what kind of monsters she encounters, she will never again. scared.

Hearing the unquestionable tone in her words, the young man didn't stop him anymore, but he was very afraid in his heart that she would never come back after leaving like this.

Shikui jumped into the well.

Of course she won't be drowned, the spiritual power circulating around her body forms a cover around her body, which can temporarily protect her from the pressure and influence of deep water.

She felt as if she had plunged into the bottomless sea, unable to find the direction and end.

The Jade of Four Souls glowed quietly at the bottom of the dark water, and it seemed to be a little brighter than before.

Tokikui didn't find any other strange things at the bottom of the well, and about mermaid meat—not even the slightest new discovery.

Then what the child said before... the fact that a piece of mermaid flesh was found in the water...

Is this well a passage leading to another place?

After a while, she suddenly thought of this.

It was only because she felt that the direction of the water flow around her body began to change, and the speed became rapid, as if it was going to send her to another place.

Shi Kui wanted to surface the water, but he couldn't find a place above it.She found that she was like duckweed, drifting farther and farther with the direction of the current.

I don't know how long it took, Shi Kui felt that the spiritual power cover on her body had lost its original effectiveness, and the cold liquid kept pouring into her mouth and nose.

This painful feeling made Shi Kui not only struggle, but she tried hard to go upstream, and then suddenly saw a huge light shining from top to bottom in the next second.

"Ahem...!!"

She finally got out of the water, but when she poked her head out, she felt a strange taste in the water in her mouth, and she couldn't help feeling sick in her stomach.

Shi Kui could not swim originally, but the water she is in now is not deep.And when she raised her head, she finally had a clear view of the scene above the water.

However, what appeared in sight was a dwarf-like man with a hat on his head, holding a searchlight in his hand, and looked at her in astonishment.

"You are……?"

Shi Kui couldn't judge the gender from the face of the other party, but suddenly a very beautiful woman's voice came out of her ears, and this extremely beautiful voice came from the mouth of this short man with huge rabbit teeth. issued.

...Should be a girl, right?

It's just that the technology in the previous era was very backward, and it was impossible to have such a thing as a searchlight, and the other party was dressed like a modern person, so I passed through that well... What kind of world did I come to?

Fortunately, she could understand everything the other party said, and there was no language barrier.

Shi Kui was stunned for a while, and then said truthfully: "I don't know...why I appear here."

She wanted to get out of the water, but in the next second, she realized that the clothes on her body were gone. Apart from herself, only the jade of four souls was left on her chest.

Although the other party was a girl, Shi Kui still felt a bit of shyness and embarrassment without words.

"Put on this first." The other party saw her embarrassment, smiled slightly, and took out a set of simple clothes from the bag behind her.

"Thank you." Shi Kui put on the suit after thanking her.

It's certain that it doesn't fit, after all, the girl who looks a little strange in front of her can't compare with her in stature, Shi Kui naturally doesn't care too much about these things.

When she was getting dressed, she realized that the place she was in was an extremely narrow enclosed cave, and the light was very dark. If it wasn't for the girl's searchlight, she would have been unable to see the surrounding environment clearly.

There is a lake in the cave, the color is a bit weird, and she just floated out of there.

"I'll go out to a nearby city later, and I'll help you buy a set of clothes that fit you." The girl's voice was in great contrast to her face, but even so, the gentle and beautiful voice easily made People have a good impression of her, even though it is only the first time they meet.

Shi Kui thanked her again, and couldn't help but say, "Do you know where we are now?"

"We are now located on an unknown island in the Balusa Islands... I have never been to this place before, but I heard that there is an ancient ruin here, so I wanted to come here to see, maybe there will be something New discoveries aren't necessarily either."

The girl spoke softly, but Shi Kui didn't quite understand what she said, and those place names were unheard of.

Shi Kui began to wonder if he had traveled to a different time and space.

She looked at the lake in silence, wondering if she would go back to where she was before if she went in again.

She tried it once, then gave up.

The girl didn't stop her behavior, she just stood aside and asked her aloud: "I'm leaving, do you want to stay here alone, or go out with me?"

Shi Kui didn't hesitate anymore, she glanced at the wet clothes on her body, and then said, "I want to go out with you. My name is Shi Kui, can you tell me... what's your name?"

"Melody." The girl replied with a smile.

But when he was about to leave here, Shi Kui still couldn't help asking Melody a question: "Don't you think it's strange?... I will suddenly appear there."

She didn't ask about Shi Kui's identity and origin, and treated her naturally as if she had met a friend.

The voice of the melody is as gentle as ever: "Everyone has their own secrets, even me... All I know is that your heartbeat is clear and beautiful, as warm as the bright sunshine."

However, behind the sunshine is a sad shadow.

The author has something to say:

Come to the hunter's world, I am a loyal FJ fan, I hope to show you the charm of the original hunter!

Speaking of which, a friend of mine asked me today if I wanted to start a comprehensive manga or a fast-paced article on the strategy of heartthrobs, but I firmly refused [. 】Because I don't think I have the ability to write the heroine very attractive and everyone will fall in love with her naturally emmmmm Maybe it's because I read a lot of articles recently and I want to complain that many heroines rely on a beautiful face for everyone This kind of plot that everyone loves her is very painful. PS The main reason is that the heroine basically has no other characteristics except beauty.But speaking of my taste in reading articles, I am doomed to be an unpopular party […]

So this article will not just rely on a face where everyone falls in love with her. I will try to make all the characters in the original work have their IQs on the line...Although it will be difficult...It's a bit too much, ahhh I He's a chatterbox, don't dislike him
