I survive in a high-risk world by writing essays

But when those two people went to rescue Xia You...'s cursed skeleton, the little mermaid didn't attack, but just opened her eyes and let go of her mouth in a daze.

Who knew that the little mermaid's teeth were so sharp that it bit off the head of the curse with just one bite and one bite.I don't know how strong the curse skeleton is, but the curse skeleton that Xia You used for so long didn't show any signs of damage, and the students in the Conjuration High School often use the curse skeleton as a duel practice Object, normally speaking, it shouldn't be so easy to break.

The head of the curse gurgled and rolled on the ice a few times, adding a sense of black humor to the frozen scene.

Ning Ning was dumbfounded, "That... lost his head..."

Huazi covered Ningning's eyes, "It's too bloody!"

Obviously, the two people who came with Xia You were also obviously stunned for a moment, but after reacting, they quickly picked up Xia You's cursed head, and took another look at the half-frozen head, which was not successfully taken in by Xia You The little mermaid in the ugly treasure space gritted her teeth and left.

Under the effect of an unknown spell, the figure of the two people and a cursed skeleton with a severed head became transparent.

Is this considered giving up and taking away the mermaid?

"Wait a minute, I remember that there are still my things in Ugly Treasure's space, at least give me back my things?" I don't know why I said that suddenly.

Although in this situation and this scene, it seems a bit strange to mention this all of a sudden, but...

That is the fishing rod that I use most easily. It is a limited-edition fishing rod that is not easy to find a new one after losing it.

In fact, it would be better if the ugly treasure could be kept.

[...Is this what you want to say? ] The body of the headless curse body showed no expression, but Xia You's tone sounded very strange.

"otherwise?"

[...]

After I finished speaking, the figures of the three of them disappeared completely. The place where they disappeared was empty, and there was no fishing rod I wanted.

Forget it, I still have to find a second convenient fishing rod.

However, the frozen lake still hadn't thawed, and it still kept frozen. I sorted out my mood, and walked to the reef and the place where the little mermaid was frozen together with Ning Ning Yuanhui and the others.

Because of the vicious action of the little mermaid biting off Xia You's head, we were a little more careful when approaching her.

The head of the curse skeleton can be bitten off, and the hands or other parts of the human body can probably be bitten off as well...

"Let's get the reef out first." I glanced at the solid ice under my feet, and called to Liangzi and the others to come and help get the reef out.

The little mermaid's golden tail was also frozen in the ice, and she could only come out if she got the reef out of the ice first.

"Give way a little bit, I'll try to cut this piece of ice." Yuan Hui gestured with a knife on the ice and said to us.

Ning Ning and I backed away a little according to the words, and watched Yuanhui point the tip of the knife to the ice, drawing a circle with ease to circle the area where the reef was, and then forcefully thrust the knife into the ice. As soon as he stabbed in, the circle of ice that he had drawn around him cracked open one after another.

When the piece of ice that was frozen inside the reef was about to fall, Yuanhui picked it up with a knife, picking up the whole piece of ice that was as big as a person.

Then there is only thawing left.

I breathed a sigh of relief, my mind relaxed and I began to think about other things.

"So, should you explain it?" I looked at the giant tortoise that stopped on the shore and did not follow the ice, and my tone was calm.

There is such a big little mermaid here, if the tortoise who guards the mermaid's body doesn't know, few people will believe it.

I just knew that the old tortoise must be hiding something, but I didn't expect that what it was hiding was actually a living mermaid.

There is a legend about mermaid meat that makes people live forever. There is a big difference between a mermaid corpse and a living mermaid, but to some people, the difference may not be that big.

"Sorry, kind man." That's what the giant tortoise said.

"I'm sorry, so I don't need to say anything. You can explain clearly what's going on with this little mermaid first." I said.

"Actually, the mermaid that died back then has conceived a new life in its belly..." The giant turtle slowly revealed the truth behind it.

The two mermaids who fought on this island at the beginning were killed by another mermaid with mermaid poison. After the mermaid sank to the bottom of the lake, the giant tortoise, which was still a small turtle at that time, drank the water mixed with the mermaid blood and passively Set up a bondage guard with that mermaid, and stayed on the island as the guardian of the corpse.

In the beginning, the mermaid corpse was still intact, with the woman's upper body and fish tail, no matter how long time passed, it would not rot and change. The toxin produced in the mermaid corpse made the other aquatic creatures in this lake except the giant turtle They all turned into lifeless strange things, and died after fighting each other.

But one day, when the turtle entered the water and swam near the corpse of the mermaid, he was surprised to find that the long-dead corpse of the mermaid had enlarged its abdomen.

There is actually a life growing in the belly of the mermaid!

As time went by, the mermaid's abdomen became bigger day by day, and the fetal movement gradually became more obvious, but the child in the mermaid's belly was not born until 400 years later, the turtle got the life from the mermaid. It was about to come to an end, and the child in the womb of the mermaid corpse was finally born.

It was born by eating the entire upper body of the mermaid corpse directly from the body.

The turtle named the newborn mermaid cub [Otohime], which is the name of the mermaid princess that Urashima Taro met after being taken to the Dragon Palace by the turtle in the story of Urashima Taro.

However, in the fairy tales that children have heard, the name of the mermaid princess did not appear, but for some reason, many legends defaulted to the name of the mermaid princess as Otohime.

"So that's how it is." I nodded after listening to it, "It's really a weird story. It must be a good start to a horror story."

As a well-informed person, I can almost guess the next plot development.

Now that the tortoise is near the end of its lifespan, it tricked us to come to the island again, probably, maybe, maybe just wanting to leave us alone.Moreover, it was a case of emergency medical treatment. After catching a well-meaning person who released him, he was brought here. I never thought that a person who catches a turtle and releases him may not be able to withstand the temptation of mermaid meat. After all, mermaids and turtles are not at all. an order of magnitude.

From this point of view, although the tortoise seems to understand human knowledge quite well, it still does not have enough dialysis of [human].

Otherwise, they would not have tricked me into feeding mermaids on the island.

"Then..." the giant tortoise spoke after finishing the story.

"reject."

The giant tortoise choked and looked at us pitifully with cloudy eyes that were very similar to the eyes of an old man, "Now Dragon Palace Island has been exposed, after I die, if Otohime stays here, she will be captured Those who drink blood and eat flesh."

The little mermaid Otohime, who looks like a little girl in her infancy, also watched us along with the giant tortoise.

But there was more curiosity and ignorance in her eyes.

When I met her eyes, my heart suddenly moved.

From this look, the little mermaid Otohime might be able to understand what we are saying.

It's just that at her age, she may not be able to understand it.

The giant tortoise spoke again, this time it released a big bomb, "Otohime is the child of a mermaid and a magic spirit."

After getting the reef and the ice cubes of the little mermaid up, he didn't make a sound. Yuan Hui, who was watching with cold eyes, suddenly changed his eyes after hearing this.

"It turned out to be a curse fetus."

"Curse fetus?" I made a suspicious voice.

This is something I haven't heard of either.

Yuanhui's expression was not very good and he explained, "The general curse embryo refers to the curse spirit that is being conceived. The curse that can be born in the form of a curse embryo is usually a special curse, but this kind is not troublesome. The mermaid's The situation belongs to another form of curse embryo, that is, the offspring produced by the curse spirit and other creatures. This kind of curse embryo is the rarest, because the curse spirit does not have the ability to... produce offspring, but there are special cases. Like this The most special thing about the curse embryo is that it can bear flesh, and it may have wisdom, which usually becomes a disaster for the evil side."

"As for this mermaid, she doesn't need to be incarnated, she has obtained a unique flesh/body from birth, an immortal mermaid body." Yuan Hui slightly lowered his head to look at the little mermaid, who opened her lake-green eyes look back.

"It stands to reason that she should be killed here."

"Wait, since she is the descendant of the mermaid and the curse spirit, then she may have a way to undo Ningning's curse." Huazi said, and took a few steps forward, as if inadvertently blocking Yuanhui from looking at the little mermaid eyes, and said to the little mermaid, "Can you lift the curse on her?"

He pointed at Ning Ning.

The little mermaid blinked and looked along.

"This child shouldn't understand, right?" Ning Ning, who suddenly became the focus of attention, curled the hair on the side of her face uncomfortably. Just as she was saying this, she saw the little mermaid raise her thin hand and look at her. Spread five fingers and shake.

"Huh? Is this calling me over?" Ning Ning read a bit of this meaning from the little mermaid's movements, and pointed at herself in surprise.

The little mermaid didn't make any other movements, she still raised her hand.

Ning Ning hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward.

"Be careful." I inevitably told.

Ning Ning nodded vigorously, and stopped carefully in front of the little mermaid.

Finally Ning Ning reached the place where the little mermaid could touch, Hanako and Yuanhui were watching the little mermaid's movements.I saw the little mermaid put her outstretched hand on Ningning's face, and then put her whole upper body on it.

And at this moment, something in Ning Ning's chest suddenly shone brightly.

The faint light was attached to the little mermaid, and as the little mermaid's hand moved slowly, from Ning Ning's chest to her throat, Ning Ning suddenly covered her mouth and coughed desperately, coughing up a piece of blood the size of a coin. Scaly stuff.

The little mermaid withdrew her hand, showing a happy smile, picked up the small fish scale and ate it in one gulp.

At the same time, an identical scale floated out of Hanako's body.

"Okay, the curse is lifted."

Hanako patted Ningning on the back and comforted her.

"Who broke my curse!"

Just when the little mermaid happily ate the second scale, a cold and thunderous sound came from the unfrozen lake not far away.
