Sea Monster Alliance

Some people say that if you put your ear close to a conch, you can hear the sound of the waves.

The internal structure of the conch is special, and it is not known whether the air passes through to make the roaring sound similar to the waves, or its spiral structure just has the function of sound recording. The rocks in several Grand Canyons in America and Africa are like this. They record the sound of the howling wind, and sometimes the sound of the motor of the off-road vehicle passing by, and the sound of the artillery of the war, which is very wonderful.

But for mermaids, there is no need to listen to the sound of the waves in the conch. They live in the vast ocean forever. The place where they can hear the sound of the waves is the shallow sea. When they feel bored, they dive into the deep sea, that's it.

In the past, mermaids rarely appeared in the depths of the ocean, and they all swam near the waterway.

Only there can they successfully meet human beings, those desperate screams before dying... and, maybe the person they are destined to meet... So the legend of mermaids is always enduring. Later, some stories say that when sailing on the sea, They will be led nowhere by the singing of the mermaid, and they will crash into the reef and sink the ship. Another part of the story says that the drowning prince will be rescued by the mermaid, but they will always leave the ocean to marry a beautiful woman, leaving the mermaid to die in despair.

Adding up legends and fairy tales and deleting those parts that sing goodness or lure the crew is basically the truth.

With the prosperity of ocean trade and the safety of navigation, the number of mermaids has gradually decreased due to their ferocious nature. Even the sea areas where they live have undergone major changes, and they have begun to migrate to vast oceans and places prone to storms. But if there is an extreme disaster like several tornadoes, the mermaid will die too.

The siren has no idea when the same race has disappeared in the ocean.

This time, it was really a death threat.In a tornado, only smaller objects or fish can survive, otherwise just hitting debris can kill you.

The sound of the waves is right in front of me, but it is very loud, probably floating on the sea.

Siren's arm moved slightly, but only slightly.

The memory of the half-comatose mermaid still remained in the pitch-black storm, and it vaguely fell down with the storm in the end. Fortunately, the thunderstorm cloud was released before them, otherwise there would be no chance of falling to death.

The force of the impact was very strong, Siren hugged Xia Yi as hard as she could, and touched the sea surface with her back.

This time, although he had prepared in advance, the sudden force still made Siren's internal organs churn. After vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood, a big wave hit him, and Siren passed out.

At that time, Xia Yi was still held tightly in his arms.The only panic thought is that I hope to wake up as soon as possible after the storm stops. There are a lot of sharks in the Coral Sea, and Xia Yi also has wounds on her body. When the time comes——

"Whoa!"

The seawater poured onto Siren's face, and the fish tail unconsciously patted the ground.

Wait, this doesn't feel right!

The Siren tried to wake himself up, but his fingers were empty, and he didn't hold anything in his palm!And he was obviously lying on a firm sandy ground, and the wet sea sand wrapped around his body, which was very uncomfortable.

But the more anxious he was to wake up, the more he felt the dull pain in his chest and back. It was worse than a blue whale colliding... no, it was more uncomfortable than a blue whale being crushed to the bone. Sour and twitching, the tail of the fish was even weaker, as if he had just crossed the entire Pacific Ocean at full speed.

"Whoa!"

The direction of the sea water is also wrong, obviously the sound of the waves is still far away, how could it pour down from the top of the head?

It was as if falling back to reality from a void and empty world. The first thing I felt was pain and sea water, and then a messy sound came over, which was the sound of low conversation and the noise of wooden barrels touching.

Humanity? !

The siren moved his arm subconsciously, this is the real panic, Xia Yi is gone!

He opened his eyes suddenly.

There were screams of surprise, and then figures surrounded him. The siren only saw dark faces, and he was almost breathless. Because of the hostility, the tail of the fish suddenly slapped the sand, but this movement But it affected the injury, the sharp stabbing pain in the chest made the siren only slow down his breathing, and the gills behind the ear fins were also slightly opened, and the feeling of air passing through instead of being wet by water flow was particularly bad.

What about Xia Yi?

Xia Yi left him because of this group of people?

Countless thoughts floated in Siren's mind, and under the anger, the deadly song of death echoed in the sound of the sea waves again, but Siren soon felt that it was completely useless, there was no dark breath of temptation, nor danger and hostility , There was only surprise and curiosity in those eyes.

I probably also found that it was not good to be surrounded like this. After a while of discussion, the crowd dispersed. Several men were still holding buckets in their hands. The surface of the sea is saying something to the siren.But there is no language in this world that sirens can understand.

The siren stared at the surroundings. There were more than a dozen palm trees crumbling here and there were obvious ruins of houses. A group of shirtless and barefoot men were enthusiastically sawing the broken tree trunks. There were also women in unlined jackets carrying a large basket to pick The things left behind after the tide receded, some shells, crabs, and familiar herring, maybe it was the group that was involved in the tornado with them.

However, although they were busy with their work, they still couldn't help looking back curiously.

Because the siren didn't respond at all, the old man stopped, yelled at those people carrying buckets and trotted around, and soon brought up sea water, and poured it on the siren without saying a word.

This is on a gentle slope, and the sea is far away from here. Siren guessed that he was probably washed up by the waves when the hurricane passed by.

The surrounding mess obviously also proves this point, but the humans here seem to be too abnormal. The hurricane has just passed, and their homes have been almost destroyed in half, but they are still quite orderly, and they don’t look sad and crying after losing their loved ones. To them, a hurricane is nothing more than a rain and a sun... The weirdest thing is that seeing the mermaid is just out of curiosity.

Their emotions and thinking are so pure that they can't even hear the mermaid's singing. What kind of concept is this?

The Siren finally withdrew his killing intent. He doesn't like humans, and he is especially worried that Xia Yi will leave him, but the group in front of him is running around pouring seawater on him, and even taking turns to make gestures in front of him for a long time Man, it's hard to hate.

"Xia Yi!"

It was one of the few words the Sirens could utter.

But the trouble is that this is Chinese, and it is too difficult for residents of an isolated island in the South Pacific to understand this.

Because no matter what the group of people said, the siren only repeated the word, and it was obvious that his eyes were looking for something. The old man straightened up slowly and shouted again. After a few minutes, many people came running over. A bunch of messy things were placed in front of the siren.

There are coconuts floating over, large pieces of seaweed, a few half-dead seabirds, and even the group of women handed over the seafood baskets. Looking at a pile of herring and a struggling seahorse, the sirens want to Grumpy.

People stared at the siren's reaction without blinking, and obviously found that what this extremely rare mermaid wanted was not these things at all, what was it?Many people were troubled, and even children scratched their hair in doubt.

These are the only things that were blown to the island by the hurricane!

Wait, there seems to be another one!

A short teenager who looked to be only in his teens cleverly fell to the ground, pretending to be unconscious, and the people next to him were also stunned, and hurriedly lifted him up. After walking for a short distance, the boy jumped down He pointed to a rough and low house behind a high slope in the distance.

The siren didn't understand what they were gesticulating, but looked in that direction suspiciously.

Just at this moment, Xia Yi walked over here wrapped in the torn military uniform.

Probably due to excessive blood loss, his face was extremely pale.

Although they were still far apart, when their eyes suddenly met, there was a moment of blankness.

All of this is too unreal, hurricanes, tornadoes... and this island that has just encountered a storm, the sky is still dark, and the wind of force four or five is blowing.Curious but well-measured people are talking about things they don't understand at all with good-natured and happy smiles.

A man ran up to Xia Yi, covering his gaze with the siren, and Xia Yi regained consciousness in a daze.

The man pointed and said a lot, but Xia Yi only understood one word, and that was her own name.

【Siren, where is this? 】Distance is not a problem in front of infrasound.

[I don't know...] The horror in the mermaid's heart is absolutely no less than that of Xia Yi.

He had no idea that there was such an island in the South Pacific. Well, it wasn't that this island was special, but that the people living here were special.

The person who communicated with Xia Yi did not give up his efforts. He pointed at himself first, said a word, then pointed at Xia Yi, and repeated the Chinese pronunciation strangely, with a rising tone, which should be a question of doubt.

Xia Yi felt inexplicably relaxed because he realized that the people around him were not hostile, otherwise they could have done it when he and the Siren were washed up on the island separately.

Especially now, Xia Yi didn't feel that special alienation when standing in the crowd, which is very strange, because he is always out of tune with any circle, and those eyes with complex meanings or contempt or sarcasm alone are enough to build There is a weird atmosphere.

But the eyes of these people are pure curiosity.

Siren even felt that kind of relaxed and happy mood. If he had changed before contacting Xia Yi, he would have wished to leave quickly. The feeling of being opposed to dark and negative emotions is simply what mermaids hate the most.

Looking at the sweaty man gesticulating, Xia Yi couldn't help but nodded slightly, which was an answer and affirmation.

The young man shouted joyfully, but didn't say anything else, he ran directly to the old man who seemed to have a lot of status and yelled for a while, and then everyone laughed in good faith, and some of them turned their heads and continued to work on sawing trees or picking seaweed. goods.

When Xia Yi fell into the water, most of the impact was borne by the siren. He was just completely unconscious, and he didn't swim vigorously in the vortex of the waves, except that his arms were a little stiff because he hugged the siren tightly. , that is, the waist and shoulders were bruised and purple, the deep wound from being caught had stopped bleeding, and Xia Yi smelled of herbs all over her body.

【How are you? 】

[Maybe I can't move for several days...] The Siren watched Xia Yi approaching, and couldn't wait to grab his arm firmly, pulling Xia Yi almost to the point of falling, and the webbed fingers in the middle repeatedly rubbing the back of Xia Yi's hand , as if confirming the existence of Xia Yi.

[I'll take you back to the sea! 】

[What about the people here? 】The siren stared at Xia Yi firmly.

[People here? 】Xia Yi raised his head and looked around hesitantly. He didn't understand that the Siren was actually afraid that he would stay. He just said, 【We were swept ashore by the hurricane. They should want to save us. Of course we should thank them, but ——] Xia Yi really doesn't know how to express her gratitude to others.He has to be familiar with it, and only after he is very familiar with it will he know what to do. For example, Li Shao only needs to go to a better restaurant for dinner, and Siren only needs to not back down and avoid contact.

But what about such a group of people who are of different races and who do not understand the language?

[Go catch a few tunas and give them to them? 】

Uh?

Xia Yi took a quick look at the siren, and it really was a sea monster's method, the only thing that mattered was food.
