How to become a mermaid

Chapter 291 Ice Cave
When Samantel woke up again, he saw the familiar ceiling.

This is the cabin of the Moni.

Turning his head and looking at the familiar scenes around him, he seemed to think that his previous experiences were all a dream.

Has he really reached the North Pole?Or had he been dreaming all along?
"Gulu Gulu..." A sound of bubbling bubbles sounded on the right side of Shamanlaer.

He turned his head and saw Rhett lying on the edge of the fish tank, watching himself while wagging his tail.

"Red, where are we now?" Shamanlael asked it.

Rhett didn't know where they were now, he just felt very happy when he saw Shaman Lair woke up and called his name.

"father!"

After calling him "Dad" crisply, Reid quickly crawled out of his small fish tank and crawled onto Shaman Lair.

"Snoring..." Rushing against Shaman Lair's cheek, Rhett let out a comfortable snoring sound in his throat.

Maybe because it stayed with Tess for a long time, it behaved like a kitten at this time.

Being rubbed by Rhett was a little itchy, and Samantel shrank his neck a little uncomfortably, but he was in a very happy mood.

Not to mention, the feeling of being relied on is really good.

He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Rhett's head, "Little Rhett is so good, I will eat your favorite prawns for you later."

"Crack!" Just as Shaman Lair and Rhett interacted, the door of the room was opened.

Zoro walked in with Alicia through the door.

"Oh~ Shamanlaer! You're finally awake!" As soon as he entered the door, Zorro couldn't wait to walk towards Shamanlael and gave him a big hug.

Patting Shamanlael's shoulder vigorously, Zoro said with a happy expression: "You have been asleep for almost a day, if you don't wake up again, your mother will kill me with her eyes!"

After saying this, Zorro gave Shamanlell a look, asking him to look at Alicia who was staring at him with cold eyes behind him.

Glancing at Alicia, who had a displeased expression, Shaman Lair asked tentatively: "So... I really passed out after eating stinky fish jelly?"

Although he can't be said to be a macho fish, he has always been in good health and delicious to eat. He never imagined that when he arrived at the North Pole, he fainted once, and now he faints again.

This feeling really conflicts with this place.

Hearing Shamanlael's question, Zorro scratched his head, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect the stinky fish jelly to give you food poisoning, obviously I ate it very well. on."

"I really didn't mean it, I just wanted to share my favorite food with you!" Zorro said two truths in succession in order to emphasize his thoughts.

Hearing Zoro's eager explanation, Shamanlael showed a dumbfounding expression on his face.

I'm really sorry, I really really have no luck with this kind of "food"!
Although there is no blessing to enjoy it, it is quite interesting as a once-in-a-lifetime novel experience.

Thinking of this, Samantel smiled generously at Zorro, and said, "I know your intentions are good, and I don't blame you for this!"

"That would be great!" Zorro had a joyful expression on his face when he heard that Samantel forgave himself.

As if to make up for Samantel, Zorro patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically, and said to him: "You should have heard that I placed your ship in my laboratory, and you just woke up Alright, let me show you around twice."

"If you like something, just tell me and I'll give it to you!"

"Really?" Samantel said in surprise.

He didn't expect such a good thing to happen to him when he was so dizzy.

"Of course!" Zoro patted himself on the chest vigorously, and replied firmly.

Hearing Zoro's affirmation, Shamanlear immediately became interested. He got up from the ground and said loudly: "Well, I just want to exercise my muscles and bones. You can take us around!"

"Okay!"

Bringing Rhett together, Samantel followed Zorro out of the cabin.

Alicia didn't follow, she had already followed Zorro around before Shamanlear woke up.

Outside the cabin is a natural ice cave that is even bigger than Shaman Lear imagined.

The Moni stayed in it, but it only occupied a small area. Outside of it, there was a large expanse of space.

However, due to the relatively dim light, Shamanlael couldn't see the whole picture of the ice cave, and couldn't know how big it was.

"Did da!" After following Zoro not far, a cold drop of water fell on Shamanlell's forehead.

He looked up and saw a blue light spot above his head.

Countless light spots the size of rice grains gathered together to form an icicle. The drop of water just now fell from that icicle.

"What are these...bugs?" He opened his eyes and looked carefully at the appearance of the light spots, and found that those turned out to be a beetle that could only glow.

Noticing that Shamanlear stopped, Zorro did not continue to move forward, but introduced to him:
"These things are called [ice beetles], and they like to cluster together, so I often see a lot of them crowded together."

"The drop that dripped on your head just now is the excrement produced by multiple ice beetles."

After listening to Zorro's explanation, Samantel wiped his forehead vigorously, and said with a disgusted expression: "Then didn't they just shit on my head?"

Seeing Shamanleir's disgusted expression, Zorro shook his head and explained:
"The usual food for the ice beetles is the ice beads seeping from the top of the cave. After eating the ice beads, they will absorb and digest the other substances in them, and finally only the pure water beads will be discharged."

"So you don't need to worry. Although it is excrement, it is much cleaner than sea water. It can even be called the cleanest water in the world."

"I usually need pure water to make potions, so I will put a basin under the ice beetles to collect the water droplets they excrete."

"And let me tell you, the quality of potions made with this kind of water is obviously higher than those made with other waters, and there are often even developing potions. This is my unique secret recipe!" At that time, Zoro's tone was a little proud.

The difference between a pharmacist who can make developing potions and a pharmacist who cannot make developing potions is like the Brazilian men's football team and the Chinese men's football team. Although they both do the same job, the level of one is higher than the other. There is no comparison at all.

The fact that the ice beetle water can improve the quality of the potion has always been Zoro's little secret, and being able to tell this to Shaman Lair shows that it really treats Shaman Lair as a friend.

After introducing the magical effect of the ice beetle water, Zorro asked Shamanlell enthusiastically: "What do you think of these ice beetles? Shall I give you some?"

Hearing this sentence, Shamanleir thought for a while, but still shook his head, feeling unnecessary.

Ice beetles are creatures that live in glacial caves. There is no such environment on his boat, and it is inconvenient to breed such things.

If he wants to make a developer potion, he has his own "secret recipe", and it is a secret recipe that can be used anytime, which is much more convenient than ice beetle water!
Thinking of this, Samantel declined Zorro's kindness on the grounds that breeding was difficult.

Although he felt a little regretful that the item was not sold, Zorro nodded in understanding and said, "That's right, I didn't consider the fact that your living environment is different from ours."

"Since the ice beetle is not easy to keep, let's go and look at other things. Anyway, I have a lot of good things here!"

Under the leadership of Zorro, Shamanlear followed it and continued on.

There are quite a few ice beetles in this cave, and every few steps Shamanlell can see a bunch of blue light spots on the top of his head.

Carefully bypassing the ice beetles so as not to let the water drop on him, Shamanlell followed Zorro and listened to it introduce the things in the ice cave one by one.

"These are [Arctic Round Mushrooms], which are extremely rare cold-resistant mushrooms. Although they look good, they look white and round like little snowballs, but they are actually very poisonous, and they will die immediately after one bite. "Zorro said, pointing to a piece of white mushroom.

"If you see it somewhere else, don't pick it, don't even touch it!"

Hearing Zorro's warning, Shamanlael nodded solemnly.

When he first saw these Arctic round mushrooms, he really planned to poke them. Who made them look fat and cute?
Cautiously passing by the group of mushrooms, Samantel saw another small white flower growing on the ground.

"These are [Ice Flowers]. Their biggest feature is that they have transparent petals that look like snowflakes. Although they look beautiful, they are not very useful. They are usually used to make some potions to dispel wind and cold." Zorro Pointing to these little white flowers, he said.

Samantel was not interested in this thing at first, but Rhett, who was nestled under his collar, saw these little white flowers and felt very fond of them.

It rubbed Shamanlell's chin vigorously, and made a sound of "ahhhhh~".

This eager little look is like a human cub pestering its parents to buy toys.

Hearing the yelling of this little thing, Samantel could only stop and asked Zoro to help him pick two ice flowers.

"What kind of creature is this little thing? Mermaid cub?" Zorro became interested in Rhett in his arms after handing the Binglinghua to Shamanlael.

It noticed Rhett when it was in the cabin just now, but it never had a chance to ask. Now that it saw Rhett took the initiative to speak, it took this opportunity to express its doubts.

Seeing Zorro looking at Rhett with curious eyes, Shamanlael touched Rhett in his arms, and briefly explained its origin to Zorro.

"It's amazing!" Zoro opened his eyes wide, looking like he couldn't believe it.

"I thought the little pet I made was good enough, but I didn't expect you to be better than me!"

Hearing that Zorro said that he also created a pet, Shamanlell asked curiously: "Have you kept a pet here? What is it?"

"I call them Little Snowdrops! They are my pets and my assistants. They usually help me take care of this cave. You will definitely be amazed by them when you see them, because they are so cute! "

Speaking of his little pet, Zorro couldn't help showing the "idiot" expression on his face, and his tone became erratic.

Zorro's reaction aroused Shamanleir's interest, but when he wanted to ask for more information, Zorro kept silent and told him that he would know when he saw it with his own eyes.

Seeing Zorro with a mysterious face, Samantel was both helpless and itchy.

He handed the ice flower in his hand to Rhett, and continued to explore with Zorro.

"Da da da..." Zoro's footsteps echoed in the ice cave.

Walking under a white vine, it suddenly stopped.

Vigorously tore off a few vines, Zorro handed the thing directly to Shamanlael.

"These are [Floating Fragrance Vine]. Break their skins and squeeze out the juice, and you will get a strange fragrance in a few seconds!"

After it finished saying this, Shamanleer smelled a faint fragrance in the air.

This fragrance is not particularly strong, but it is very special, a bit like the smell of the winter forest, with a hint of pine fragrance in the coldness.

"It smells good!" Zorro asked with a smile.

"En." Shamanleer nodded, and applied a little more vine juice on his hands.

Seeing his action, Zorro had a snickering expression on his face.

What it didn't tell Samantel was that the scent of the eucalyptus would grow stronger with time.

Now it smells just a faint fresh scent, after a while it will be a strong floral and fruity scent, then it will be overripe fruity, and finally it will become a rancid smell comparable to stinky fish jelly.

The whole process takes a whole day to ferment.

Fufurfurfurfur~ I don't know what expression this little mermaid will show on his face when he smells the smell.

Zoro snickered in his heart, but his face was as usual, he walked to lead the way for Shamanlell.

After turning a corner, it suddenly stretched out its hand to stop Shamanleir, preventing him from moving forward.

"what happened?"

Shamanleir looked forward and saw that the ice in front of him was glowing.

If the ice beetles were small blue dots of light, then what he saw now was a river of light.

Countless green silk threads gather together to form a flowing river of light that surges silently on the ice, and the bright green covers the entire space, just like the buds that have just sprouted from the grass leaves in spring .

It flows forward slowly, like a living life.

Seeing such a spectacle, Samantel was immediately attracted, and stared at the river of light for a moment.

"Don't look! You will be swallowed!" Suddenly, Shamanlael's eyes were covered with a soft thing.

"Why?" Shamanel grabbed Zorro's fin, not understanding why it would stop him from looking at this river of light.

Covering the eyes of Shamanlael with another fin, Zorro said in a serious tone: "This is the river of life, and it is also the river of taboo."

"Where it passes, the dead life will be resurrected, but that is not real resurrection, but the concept of "death" has been removed, even if the soul and body are decayed, they cannot die again, they can only live forever Wandering in this world."

"What about... the living creatures?" With his eyes tightly closed, Shamanlael asked in a low voice suspiciously.

"The living beings can't look at it!" Zoro said eagerly.

"It makes you forget yourself, gradually swallows you up and becomes a part of it!"
