How to become a mermaid

Chapter 292 Guanghe
After listening to Zorro's description of Guanghe, Shamanlear became nervous instantly.

How could such a dangerous thing appear in this ice cave?

With his eyes tightly closed, he asked Zoro what he was thinking: "Why is there a river of light here? What should we do now?"

"Don't panic too much, just close your eyes and don't look at it, it will slowly flow past us and go to the next place." Covering the fins on Shamanlael's eyes, Zorro whispered to he comforted.

Hearing what it said, Shamanlael closed his eyes even tighter, and he didn't even forget to stuff Rhett who was hiding in his clothes to prevent him from coming out.

While waiting for Guanghe to leave, Zorro told Shaman Lair something he had never heard of before.

"The River of Light is a substance that resembles life but does not resemble life."

"It can flow, and can swallow the creatures attracted to it to grow itself, but it has no self-awareness, can't speak or transmit any thoughts."

"It can be seen by other creatures, but it has no body, can't be touched, and can't be blocked by anything."

"There used to be human scholars who believed that the Guanghe River was a river that would bring disaster and the source of all misery, because every place it passed through would cause riots."

"However, after years of research, everyone's perception of Guanghe has changed, and it is found that it is not a disaster, but a river of life."

"The river of life?" Shamanlael asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's the river of life." Zoro replied affirmatively.

"In any living creature in this world, there is a "Qi". We call it "Life Qi". This kind of Qi is usually invisible or intangible, but it does exist."

"The essence of countless lives gather together to form a net of essence. This huge net covers the whole world and has countless branches and nodes, just like a big tree with countless branches."

"The River of Light was born from the nodes of the net of essence and energy, and flows along these tiny "branches"."

"The more energy there is, the greater the chance of Guanghe appearing. It appears here because this cave is on one of the branches of the energy net."

"I've seen Guanghe several times before, but each time it suddenly appeared and then disappeared without any warning at all. I was shocked when I saw it suddenly appear in front of us just now."

"That is to say, Guanghe is actually a collection of life essence?" After listening to Zorro's description, Shamanlael asked.

After thinking for a while, Zorro replied: "Not exactly..."

"Some marine creatures have done experiments before. They gathered countless fishes together, forcibly changed the nodes of the net of energy, and wanted to create a river of light by themselves, but no matter how many times they tried, they failed. "

"Although Guanghe was born from the net of essence, it is not a simple aggregate of essence, but more like the essence of life."

"There is even a saying that those lives swallowed by the river of light are not dead, but return to the original, becoming the purest life, without thoughts, without troubles, and will not disappear, flowing forever in the form of the river of light keeping it."

"You may not understand what I'm saying. Let's use a little analogy. The difference between Guanghe and life essence is like a piece of meat. It has no thoughts, but the creature that cuts this piece of meat has thoughts. It is clear that their essence They are all made of the same material, but they are vastly different.”

"Where does the thinking of creatures come from, how is the soul born, and what is it composed of? Perhaps only by clarifying these questions can we unravel the mystery of the river of light."

"It's amazing..." Shamanlael couldn't help sighing.

For his emotion, Zorro also expressed his agreement, and even did not forget to praise himself: "Yes, this world is so magical and mysterious, even a clever and unparalleled penguin like me, there are many things that have not been studied clearly. !"

"Mr. Zorro is already very powerful. Before you told me, I didn't know that such things as Guanghe and life essence existed!"

Shamanleir is quite grateful to Zorro for telling him about this matter, and feels that he has gained knowledge all of a sudden.

"Fufurfur~" Hearing Shamanlaer's praise, Zorro let out a series of joyful laughter, and continued: "It just so happens that I have time now, let me tell you another thing about life essence!"

"What's the matter?" Samantel asked curiously.

"The reason why the potion has various miraculous effects is because it produces something similar to the essence of life during its birth."

"And the light they emit under the sun is said to be the projection of those invisible and intangible life essences on the material world when they were born."

"Is this true?" Samantel asked eagerly.

Hearing this question, Zorro shook his head and said:
"I'm sure that making potions can produce life essence, but I don't know exactly how they are produced. After all, we are just ordinary penguins, and we can't see the existence of life essence."

"However, it is said that in the human world, there is a pharmacist who can see the essence of life. He seems to be quite powerful, and is called the most powerful pharmacist on Auer Star by those humans."

When Zorro said these things, Samantel was stunned for a while, feeling that he had gained too much knowledge today, and he couldn't digest it.

Later, I have to write down what I heard today in a small notebook, or I will forget it the next day.

Hearing that Samantel did not continue to speak, Zorro also temporarily quieted down, waiting for him to digest the news.

After a while, it removed the fins that were placed on Shamanlael's eyes, and said, "Okay, it's all right now, open your eyes."

Shamanleir squinted his eyes halfway, and took a look at the place where Guanghe appeared before, and found that there was indeed no trace of Guanghe, only a pile of cold and hard ice.

Everything I saw just now was like a dream.

Blinking his eyes twice, Samantel asked Zoro beside him: "Will it appear again?"

"Why, do you still want to watch it? You don't want to watch it!" Zorro rejected Shamanlael without even thinking about it.

It glanced at Shamanlael twice, and suddenly, its sight was fixed.

Zorro stared straight at Shamanlael's left eye, and stretched out his fins to touch it, as if he was trying to make sure of something.

"What... what's the matter?" Shamanlael was a little panicked when he was stared at by it.

"Your left eye is infected with [Light River Disease], and it is glowing now." Zorro said with certainty.

Hearing what it said, Shamanlael became even more flustered, and quickly asked, "Then what should I do? Will my eyes...will be broken?"

"No! A small problem!" Zorro shook his head and explained: "The so-called Guanghe disease is the sequelae left by some creatures after encountering Guanghe. It usually manifests as a certain part exuding the same light as Guanghe. .”

"As long as it is treated in a timely manner, it will not cause much harm under normal circumstances. Even because it has been infected by Guanghe, this part will become healthier than before."

"I've been infected before, and I'm fine now." Zorro waved his left fin, showing Shamanlael the part it had been infected by Guanghe before.

"You go to my laboratory with me now, and I will help you deal with it."

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

Due to the need to deal with the eyes infected by the river of light, Zorro did not explain the contents of the cave to Shamanlell step by step as before, but led him to the place where he usually made potions in a hurry .

"Da da da…"

When he reached a place where two large icicles stood on the left and right, which looked like a door, Zorro stopped his footsteps.

"Xiaobai! Xiaohei! And Xiaodoudou! Your kind old father is back, open the door for me!" Zorro stood in front of the door and shouted loudly.

After it finished yelling, Shamanlael heard a burst of footsteps coming from behind the frozen door.

"Kick! Kick! Kick!"

"Crack!"

Something jumped on the door and pulled it hard.

"Boom..." With muffled noises, the door was slowly pushed open.

Samantel saw something behind the door.

To his surprise, what opened the door for them turned out to be a ball of black fur balls!
It's not big, just the size of a bowling ball, and it's covered with a thick layer of black hair.

Because the color of these hairs is too dark, it absorbs all the light that hits it, so that Shamanlell can't distinguish its other body parts, only a ball of black balls can be seen bouncing on the ground .

"Zorro! Zorro!" The little black ball jumped all the way to Zorro's feet, circling around it and calling its name.

It wasn't until he heard it speak that Samantel knew that this thing had a mouth.

But because it grows too black, even if it opens its mouth, Samantel can't see where its mouth is.

Seeing the little black ball warmly welcoming him, Zorro was very happy, picked it up and rubbed it vigorously in his arms.

"Fufurfur~ It was Xiao Hei who opened the door for me today! I knew Xiao Hei was the most caring!"

While ravaging the little black ball, Zorro did not forget to introduce it to Shamanleir: "This thing is the little pet I mentioned earlier. It is called Xiao Hei. Besides it, there are Xiao Bai and Xiao Doudou!"

"They are creatures made up of my feathers, some ice cubes, and my shadow fragments! Since such creatures have never appeared before, I gave them a life for the time being, and collectively called them Xiaoxuedian! "

What the hell? ? ?
When Zorro told about the origin of the little black ball, three question marks appeared on Shamanleir's head.

Feathers, ice cubes, and shadows, can these things together form life?
Maybe it was because the confused expression on Shamanleir's face was too obvious, Zorro temporarily put down the little black in his hand, and said to him seriously: "I know you have doubts in your heart, in fact, when I made these creatures, I also Very surprised!"

"Let's deal with your eyes in the advanced laboratory, and I'll tell you in detail while I'm dealing with it."

Hearing this sentence, although Shamanlael had doubts in his heart, he could only nod and followed Zorro into its laboratory.

The area of ​​this laboratory is not large, it is about the same size as the classroom where Shaman Lear attended classes in his previous life, but there are no tables, chairs and blackboards in it. Instead, there are several long tables with bottles and jars of various colors on them. And some things that Samantel can't understand.

The walls are densely covered with bones of unknown animals, including whole skulls, individual hand bones, leg bones, tails, and various disassembled bone parts.

Under the faint light produced by the luminous plants planted in the cave, every bone exudes a gleaming white light, which feels quite cold.

Especially for those skulls, the black eyes seemed to be like whirlpools, which made Shamenleer, who was watching all of this, feel terrified, as if these bones were about to speak to him in the next second.

"Ka Ka Ka!" Suddenly, there was a sound of chattering teeth.

Shamanel saw a cracked skull move in front of him, its mouth opening and closing!
Seeing this situation, Samantel suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his whole body shrank back.

Damn it, what he hates the most are supernatural events!

"Ka Ka Ka, Ka Ka Ka!" Bone's mouth was still trembling up and down, indicating that what happened just now was not Shaman Lair's illusion, but that it really "lived".

"Mr. Zorro!" Seeing that the skull in front of him was still trembling, Shamanlael looked at Zorro beside him with a mournful face, wanting to ask for its help.

Zorro was much calmer than Samantel, who was too scared to look over there.

It swayed to the wall, took down the skull and placed it in front of Shaman Lair, saying, "Don't be nervous, Mrs. Grace is greeting you!"

"She said you were cute, she liked it very much!"

Seeing this skull that was less than one meter away from him, Shamanlael felt suffocated and felt that he was about to be unable to breathe.

Hey hey hey so am I really going to hell now?Not fake but real?

Don't take it here!
"Ka Ka Ka...!" The skull was still trembling, and there was a strange smile on Sen Bai's face.

"Ka Ka Ka!" Seeing that the skull actually smiled, Shamanleir was also trembling, and the upper and lower teeth collided with each other, making a trembling sound.

"Zo~luo~Mr.~Sir~ You'd better move Ms. Grace a little farther away~" Shamanleer said to Zoro tremblingly.

"Fufurfurfur~" Zorro laughed loudly when he saw the weak, pitiful and helpless appearance of Shamanlaer.

It put the skull on the long table beside it, and said to Shaman Lair: "Do you still remember what I told you about what happens to dead things when they meet the river of light?"

"Re...resurrection?" Shamanlael replied with some uncertainty.

Zorro nodded, and said with certainty: "That's right! It's resurrection!"

Pointing to the skull on the table, it said again: "Ms. Grace in front of you has experienced such a thing!"

"It used to be an ordinary arctic seal. It died in an accident while fishing, and was buried in this cave by the family. Then it encountered Guanghe by accident, and it was revived like this!"

"However, although Guanghe can revive creatures, the corrupted flesh cannot return to the past."

"Mrs. Grace can only see with her own eyes that the flesh of her body fell off piece by piece, gradually turning into a skeleton, and after a long time, even the bones were weathered and broken, and finally only this skull remained! "

"Click, click!" As if protesting Zoro's "explicit" description of his experience, Mrs. Grace's skull trembled violently, making bursts of clicking sounds.

While shaking, bone fragments fell from one side of its body, and it looked exactly like what Zorro said, it was already a bone frame that had "lived" for an unknown number of years.

"Fufurfur~" Zorro didn't pay attention to Grace's protest at all, and even took out a bowl from where to collect the bone fragments that fell from its body.

After adding some water to the bowl, and grinding the bone fragments into mud, Zoro said to Shamanlael, "Little fish, close your eyes quickly, I'm going to apply medicine to you!"

"These biological remains resurrected by Guanghe are the best medicine for treating Guanghe's disease!"
