How to become a mermaid

Chapter 279 The False Protagonist, The Real Protagonist (Laughs)
There is a saying that is good, people will always have an experience of desperately fighting for something in their life.

Even if Samantel is now a mermaid, it is no exception.

In order not to eat the pine fish, he tried his best.

"Three, two, one...start!" Alicia raised her hands and shouted.

After her last word fell, Samantel shot forward like an arrow from the string.

Seeing a flash of white light, his figure disappeared in place and appeared tens of meters away.

In just two seconds, he had already swam to the corner and turned the first turn.

In order not to slow down when turning the corner, he deliberately widened the distance from the boat, drawing a Z-shaped silver-white track in the sea.

"Not bad! I didn't expect this kid to be quite smart!" Alicia showed a gratified smile on her face as she saw the graceful and elegant figure of Shaman Lair in the water.

During the time she was speaking, Shamanlaer had already swam around and returned to the original starting point.

Alicia, who had been counting silently in her heart for a long time, put her hand into a trumpet shape and put it on her mouth, and shouted at him: "Ten seconds for the first lap! You must go faster, or you will definitely time out!"

Samantel in the water didn't bother to answer, but after hearing the number ten seconds, he couldn't help showing a nervous look on his face, and accelerated the frequency of tail swings.

The first lap was just an acceleration stage, and his speed had not yet reached its peak.

The next few laps will be faster and faster under the action of inertia, and the speed will slowly slow down until he feels tired.

"Swoosh!" A silver light flashed across the sea.

Shamanleir's speed was so fast that the sea water could hardly react, and a conspicuous gap was broken in the sea.

Two or three seconds after he left, the surrounding sea water gradually filled in.

Ten seconds for the first lap, nine seconds for the second lap, eight seconds for the third lap, and nearly seven seconds for the fourth lap...

Almost every lap, the speed is one second faster than before.

It wasn't until the seventh lap that his speed gradually decreased and he returned to five seconds.

Although the tail was so sore at this time, Shamanleir's heart was excited.

It's been a long time since he swam at full speed like this, and he didn't expect to improve so much compared to himself in a few months!
Obviously he hasn't exercised all the time, but he feels that his physical fitness has improved a lot.

Could it be... or because he absorbed Ao Lei's blood?
So scary, so scary!
"Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Samantel swam the last three laps with the last momentum.

At this time, he was almost exhausted and out of breath.

"Huh...huh..." Shamanlael supported the hull of the boat with his hands, panting heavily.

The gills on the back of his neck were also split open at this time, and he was also breathing heavily.

A mermaid is a creature that can breathe freely in water and on land. In addition to lungs, it actually has gills.

It's just that their gills are not on the front, but on the back of the body, which is the position of the back of the neck.

The shape of the gills is oblique, which looks somewhat similar to that of a shark. There are three gills on the left and right along the two sides of the cervical spine. They are usually hidden by the hair and will close when they go ashore. Only those that are vigorously exercising underwater time will open.

"Huh...huh..." Under the dual operation of lungs and gills, Shamanleer's breathing gradually became steady.

He moved his body slowly, and asked Alicia on the boat: "How long did it take, I shouldn't have timed out?"

"No!" Alicia shook her head slightly, and said to Shaman Lair, "It's a total of one minute and nine seconds! It's just a little bit!"

"Huh—!" Hearing this answer, Shamanlear let out a long sigh of relief.

He was exhausted in the last three laps, and he survived by his willpower. Fortunately, the previous hard work was not in vain.

"Since you have met my requirements, I will keep my word and I won't give you loose fish!" Alicia said to Shaman Lair seriously.

Alicia couldn't help laughing when she saw Shamanlael in the water showing a relieved smile.

She put Rhett on her shoulders on the deck, and jumped into the sea with a flick of her tail.

Swimming to Shamanleir, Alicia hugged him as a sign of encouragement, and then asked him softly: "Son, I will catch you whatever you want for lunch today! We will continue to practice in the afternoon when we are full." !"

"Ah! Keep going!" Hearing the continuation in the afternoon, Shamanlael felt weak all over.

"Of course continue! The agreed ten hours a day is only half past!"

Alicia can usually pamper Shamanlell, but she is unwilling to back down in this situation.

She never thought of making Samantel the strongest mermaid, but she must swim fast, run far, and be harder to catch than other mermaids, so that she can live to old age in good health and safety!
Touching Shamanleir's head, Alicia said in a gratified tone: "Your speed is actually beyond my expectations. If you exercise hard within this month, you will definitely surpass me. Then you don't care about it in the future." I am at ease wherever I go!"

"Hey..." Shamrel sighed, nodded to Alicia, and said, "Okay, I'll swim for the agreed ten hours!"

"Hmm!" Alicia pinched his cheek with a smile and asked, "What do you want to eat, tell me quickly?"

"That...delicious big snail?" Shaman Lair raised his eyes and asked Alicia tentatively.

"Hehe...hehe..." Alicia covered her mouth and let out a laugh that made Shamanleer's heart a little creepy.

"It's not impossible! If you want to eat, I will definitely catch you."

"But..." Alicia looked at Shaman Lair with a "smile" in her eyes, and said to him softly: "After eating such delicious food, you will definitely become stronger, right? Even if you only give it to you at noon tomorrow You can do it in a minute, right?"

"Ah, this..." Shamanlaer panicked, shook his head again and again, and retorted: "No! I won't eat it! I want to take back what I just said!"

"There is no option to withdraw! I've heard it!"

"Then I'm going to find you a delicious big conch now, come on, son! Don't let me down!" She patted Shamanlaer's shoulder with her hand, and Alicia turned and left after saying this .

"..."

Looking at the back of Alicia going away, Shamanleer showed a forced smile on his face.

He smiled dryly and said, "Ahhh~ that's great! I can eat delicious big conch again!"

"It's exciting to think about it! It's worth eating pine fish next meal!"

Although he said so on his lips, other thoughts circulated in his heart.

[Ten laps and 1 minute, that is to say, an average of six seconds per lap, six seconds... It passed in the blink of an eye, and I still have to swim desperately in the sea! 】

[If only I had teleportation and other skills, then I still practice swimming, and I will be there in one click! 】

....................................

"biu!"

On the sea about 6 nautical miles away from Shamanleir, there is a strangely shaped ship floating.

On the mainsail of the ship, a white figure flashed past.

"biu!"

Before anyone could see the image clearly, he disappeared from the sail and appeared on the observation deck in the next second.

"Woo!" Seeing the figure suddenly appearing in front of them, the two-headed sailors Ron and Roy on the observation deck were startled and exclaimed in unison.

"Crack!" They took a sudden step back, and their bodies slammed into the wooden boards on the edge of the watchtower.

After seeing clearly who the figure in front of him was, he quickly patted his chest to suppress his shock.

"Mr. Porch, why are you so mysterious that you scared me to death!" said Ron, whose head was on the left.

"Yes, yes, please say hello in advance next time, otherwise we will think some enemy is attacking!" Roy, whose head was on the right, also echoed.

"Hey hey hey~" Hearing the two-headed sailor's complaint, Pochi let out a mischievous laugh.

He spread his hands and said innocently, "Oh, I didn't do it on purpose~"

"Didn't Moni say that before? We're about to enter the Plezen Atoll area. He told me to practice more in advance. If there is any danger at that time, I will just teleport out biubiubiu!"

It has been almost a month since the Popo Popo set out in search of the new island.

During this period, they did find two islands, but unfortunately they were all tidal islands, that is, the kind that would appear briefly when the tide was low, and would be submerged by sea water when the tide was high.

The value of this kind of island itself is not high, not to mention the area is not large, and it was quickly eliminated by Moni, who only made a mark on the chart and left.

With the previous two failures, Moni felt that he could no longer look for a needle in a haystack, but based on the existing information, he went to some places that were rumored to have islands.

However, the reason why rumors are rumors is because they have not been confirmed, or it is difficult to be confirmed.

It is rumored that there is an island group in the Plesian Atoll area, but the magnetic field in that area is so strange that things like a compass don't work at all.

In addition, the climate there is also very weird and bizarre. It is often rainy and cloudy all day long, and the sky is rarely clear. It is also impossible to determine the direction by stargazing. Many boats get lost when they enter.

Some ships are lucky enough to come out after a few laps inside, but some ships have been missing for decades, and there is still no news, and they have become rumored ghost ships.

Because of these rumors, there are fewer and fewer expedition fleets in this area, and it has become a well-known "forbidden place" on the sea.

However, Moni wants to go in and explore, it is not because of his life or unbelief.

Rather, one of his crew had entered Plejean Atoll and claimed to have seen the island.

Even Pochi said that there is an island inside, and he went up to see it, and said that there are many strange plants growing on it, which made Moni have the idea of ​​going there to find out.

The Popo Popochi is now very close to the area of ​​Plejean Atoll, and the compass on the ship has begun to fail intermittently in the past few days.

As they got closer and closer to the destination, the crew members on board became nervous. In the past few days, no one played betta fish, and their faces were full of dignified colors.

They are all people who roam the sea, and the longer they travel, the more they understand a truth—never underestimate the sea, and don’t overestimate yourself, or you will definitely be in bad luck!

Everyone is preparing nervously, only Pochi can still laugh at this moment.

It's just a mere Pulechu atoll, and it's not like he hasn't been there before, so it's not scary at all!

"Oh, oh, don't be so serious. We are looking for islands, not dying. This is something to be happy about. Be happy!" Pochi said briskly to the two-headed man in front of him.

Hearing Pochi's words, the corners of the two-headed sailor's mouths twitched simultaneously.

Sending death or something... It's too straightforward. Hey!
"Is there really an island in that dangerous place?" Ron asked Pochi suspiciously.

It wasn't that he didn't believe what Boqi said, but he just felt that they had only come out to find the island not long ago, and that there was no need to try such a dangerous area so early before the end of the mountain.

"That's right! Even if there are islands, they are of little development value! Because other people can't find them!" Roy on the side also echoed.

Their trip is not only to find islands, but also to find valuable islands that are recognized by others.

The reputation of Pulejen Atoll is so bad, even if they found an island in it, would any residents be willing to move here?

Hearing Ron and Roy's doubts, Pochi didn't care at all, but said with a smile: "We'll talk about that kind of thing later! Besides, reputation and so on are spread, as long as we find the island and take good care of it It, of course someone will come in the future!"

He has been wandering the sea for many years, and has been to several rumored "forbidden places", but there are only a few times when he actually encountered danger, and most of them were based on rumors.

So he didn't believe the rumors at all, he only believed in his own eyes.

He said that where there is an island, there is an island, and he must take these people to see it!
Seeing that the two-headed sailor seemed to be persuaded by himself, the expression on his face became lighter. Pochi patted their shoulders and said with a smile:

"Okay, I won't delay your work, I'm going to find Moni now!"

"Biu!" As soon as Pochi's voice fell, his figure disappeared on the observation deck in an instant.

Looking at the empty observation deck in front of them, the two-headed sailors Ron and Roy couldn't help scratching their heads, and sighed in unison: "Mr. How much is not being told to us..."

While they were feeling, the unfathomable Pochi had already appeared in Moni's room.

"biu!"

Without any warning, Moni, who was sitting at the desk writing and drawing, felt a chill in his right hand, and his sleeve was wet from the water dripping from Pochi's head.

After Pochi revealed that he has the ability to teleport, he always appears and disappears suddenly like this. Moni has long been familiar with it, and even got used to it.

He calmly turned his head to look at Boqi who was sitting beside him, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Boqi, what do you need from me?"

"Hmm..." Boqi nodded, and said to Moni, "I suddenly remembered something that I didn't tell you!"

"What's the matter?" Moni raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it related to Pulece Atoll?"

"Yes!" Pochi replied affirmatively.

He took a pen from the table and drew a symbol on the blank page of Mooney's notebook.

"When I went to that island last time, in addition to seeing those plants, I also saw some strange symbols on the island. Most of them can't remember clearly, but I only remember this one!"
