How to become a mermaid

Chapter 306 The Mysterious Visitor
Seeing that Planck and Shamanel were leaving, Pino showed a regretful expression on his face, and began to mutter:
"Ouch, this is the first time I've seen a mermaid after living for more than 100 years. It's really interesting, mermaid, how can you look like a human and a fish at the same time..."

"Sure enough, if I live a long time, I can see everything. If I live a little longer, will I be able to see dragons with my own eyes..."

"It would be great if I could really see the dragon. I will definitely ask it to give me a scale and leave it to my grandson's grandson's grandson's grandson as a family heirloom..."

Amidst Pino's rambling voice, Plank packed up his things and led Shamanlele out.

"Ahem... then I won't bother you, Uncle Pino, we will come to see you next time!"

Planck waved his arms to bid farewell to Pino, and then walked out of the igloo with the medicine box.

At this time, outside the house, there was already light snow in the sky.

"Crackling...creaking..." Planck stepped on the snow and made a soft sound.

Looking at the footprints extending outward on the ground, Shamanlael felt a little panicked for some reason.

Pino is dying, but he doesn't seem to be able to help.

Birth, old age, sickness and death should have been a natural law.

But... for someone who can see this happening, it's a bit too heavy.

Glancing back at Pino's igloo, Samantel stopped Planck, "Plank, wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Plank turned around and asked suspiciously.

He told Pino that he would go to the next hospital to see a doctor, but it was not just a talk, there were still several patients waiting for him.

"That..." Shamanlael hesitated, wondering if he should tell Planck that he could see the life essence, after all, this ability came so weird that even he himself couldn't explain the reason.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to talk to Planck in another way.

"I feel that Mr. Pino just now is not just a season-changing disease." Shaman Lair said seriously.

After racking his brains and thinking about it, he really found a good reason to be fooled.

"You know that us mermaids have that... the ability to perceive bioelectric waves?" Shamanlell waved his hands, and asked Planck a little awkwardly.

"It seems... heard of this statement?" Planck was not sure.

"Ahem... In short, it is able to sense biological waves!" Shamanlaer coughed twice, and said in a serious manner.

It is true that mermaids can sense biological radio waves, but it is only useful underwater. After all, the radio waves emitted by living organisms are very weak, and mermaids are not powerful enough to receive these weak radio waves on land.

Shamanel pointed to Pino's igloo, and said nonsense solemnly: "When you checked Mr. Pino just now, I found that its condition was not very good. not!"

"We didn't have this situation when we visited other seals before, even if they were sick, there were radio waves coming from them."

"I seem to have heard Alicia say that creatures that can't sense bioelectric waves are either too weak, like mosquitoes and ants, or... their lifespan is nearing the end of their lives!"

Relying on nonsense, Shamanleir finally conveyed the news to Planck.

Hearing what Shamanlear said, Planck froze all of a sudden.

He turned his head several times and looked in the direction of Pino's igloo several times, as if he couldn't believe the news.

It's not that he saw that Shamanleir was lying, but that he didn't want to accept the fact that Pino was about to die.

"Uncle Pino... is a very kind elder. He has been taking care of us since I returned to the tribe with my father."

"Although it has a bit of a mouth and some likes to brag, it has a good relationship with other seals and loves young seals. It often imparts knowledge to them. It is a well-known good seal in the whole tribe."

Planck recalled these events with sincerity in his eyes.

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Shaman Lair, and asked in a serious tone: "Little fish, are you sure what you just said is true?"

Being asked so solemnly by Plank, Shamanleir was a little nervous, but thinking of the picture he saw just now, he nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I'm sure!"

"That's it..." Hearing Shamanlaer's affirmative answer, the expression on Planck's face became visibly serious.

If Pino passes away, it will be an extremely sad thing for the entire ethnic group.

Seeing Planck's heavy reaction, Samantel couldn't help asking: "Is there any way to help these creatures that are about to die naturally?"

He remembered what Gigi had said to him before, and Gigi seemed to be facing this situation, so he did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to the North Pole to seek medicine.

"I... have no choice." Plank shook his head, with deep regret in his tone.

"Why? Is there really no potion that can prolong life?" Shamanlael asked eagerly.

"Hey..." Plank sighed, and slowly explained: "The potion is not a panacea. Although it can cure many diseases, it is also the result of interacting with living organisms."

"For those creatures that are about to die naturally, their bodily functions have already reached their limit. Their internal organs, blood, and other things have already aged and decayed. Even if they drink the potion, these exhausted things will not die suddenly Make it up."

"It may even be stimulated by the potion to accelerate the exhaustion of their bodies all of a sudden, and to die faster! Or directly deformed and become a piece of meat without self-thought!"

"Instead of waiting until you're about to die and drink the potion to renew your life, it's better to drink the potion as soon as possible to change your blood, so that you can prolong your life."

After quietly listening to Planck's words, Shamanlell fell into deep thought.

To put it simply, the cells in those aging organisms are almost dead. Even if a certain part of the cells has recovered a certain amount of vitality due to the effect of the potion, their base number is too small, and they will not be able to jump for a long time after all. Mutation, the consequences will be more serious.

"What if... there is that kind of magical potion?" Shamanlael asked again, still unwilling to give up.

Hearing his words, Plank showed a helpless smile on his face.

He shook his head, did not choose to deny directly, but said tactfully: "Maybe..."

"After all, the world is so big, and there are still many things that I haven't touched. What if someone has researched this magical potion?"

"But Pino probably won't be able to wait..." Shamanlell added pessimistically.

It’s fine if he doesn’t say it, and this remark aroused Planck’s sad mood again.

After a few more glances in the direction of Pino's igloo, Plank made a decision.

"I will tactfully tell the other seals in the family about this matter, and give Uncle Pino his last care during his final journey of life."

"At least let it eat and drink well, let's go happily."

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

During the period when Samantel and Plank went around for consultation, Zorro, who stayed in his own tribe, almost confirmed the place for the exchange meeting.

This location is located in the north of Starsail Fjord, which is relatively close to its own tribe, but not too close, so as not to affect the fishing of the penguins in the tribe.

Moreover, there is a semi-dormant submarine volcano under this water area, and the water temperature will be slightly higher than other places, which can give visitors to the Arctic a more comfortable experience.

Once the location is determined, all that remains is to set up the scene.

With the help of Pike, a huge vegetarian octopus, Zorro got a lot of 【Borneum】.

This kind of seaweed can grow up to four or five meters long, and it feels very similar to kelp, with a slippery texture, and it tastes the same, but it is crisper and sweeter.

It will be named borneol algae mainly because its color is translucent, and it floats with the waves in the water. At first glance, it looks like crystal wide powder swimming in the water.

In addition to cold resistance, borneol algae has another feature, that is, it has strong stretchability, can be torn to several times its original length, and can even be blown up like a balloon by tearing a small opening.

With Pike's assistance, it took Zorro three or four days to inflate every piece of ice algae into small "balloons".

It took another three or four days, and they spliced ​​all these small balloons made of seaweed together to form a huge sphere with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

If Samantel saw Zorro's finished product, he would definitely exclaim—oh!What a fucking big bubble wrap!
That's right, what Zoro is making now looks very similar to foam paper. Each piece of ice algae is a big bubble, and it can even make a popping sound when pressed.

However, compared with those plastic foams that cause environmental pollution, this ball is much more environmentally friendly, and it can still be eaten after use.

After several days of work, Zorro fixed the huge foam balloon to the bottom of the sea.

With the protection of this layer, they will be warmer when they hold exchange meetings, and the borneol algae are also tough enough to block uninvited guests to a certain extent.

After setting up the venue for the exchange meeting, Parker couldn't wait to live in it.

There is nothing more interesting to an octopus than burrowing.

"Pike, please stay here during this time, don't let other fish destroy these ice algae!" Standing in front of the entrance of the "foam ball", Zoro warned the octopus Pike inside.

"I know! There must be no fish to mess with me!" Pike drilled around in the foam ball, looking extraordinarily excited.

He loves the big round ball, it's comfortable and nice, and it would be even better if it was a little smaller to fit it tightly!

The tighter, narrower, and more claustrophobic the place, the more excited the octopus is~

Seeing his friend's excited look, Zoro could probably guess what it was thinking. It coughed twice and said, "Ahem... I'll leave this to you first. I'll prepare other things and come back in a few days." look at you!"

"Okay!" Pike shook his tentacles and happily accepted the task.

Saying goodbye to Pike, Zoro swam back to his tribe.

As soon as it entered the tribe, several penguins surrounded it.

They held their heads up and shouted in Zorro's ear in a hurry:

"Gah~ quack!" A new visitor has arrived!

"Oh woo~ oh oh woo~" There are quite a few!

"Quack quack quack ~ ahh!" They're all in your house!

After understanding what the fellow clansmen said, Zorro shook his head and responded, "I see, I'll go right away!"

After finishing speaking, it flapped its fins and trotted all the way towards its home.

"Da da da da..."

Zoro stopped at the door of his igloo, and pushed away the ice blocks that were blocking the outside.

"Huh~" A gust of cool wind blew past, making several new visitors inside shiver with cold.

"Kakaka...It's so cold, is this the North Pole? It's about the same as our Hals sea area, hehe, hehe!" A [Meenas Monitor Lizard] was lying in the middle of the igloo, trembling Said in a hoarse voice.

This kind of lizard is an amphibious species on land and sea. Although it is called monitor lizard, it is not big in size, and its adult body length is only two or three meters.

They have a layer of webs on their front and rear paws, which can glide in the water and run for short distances on the water surface.

The most distinctive feature is that their scales can show a variety of different colors, and they are very colorful and colorful. They look like an overturned paint bucket, which is very eye-catching.

Generally speaking, this lizard only lives in tropical waters, and it is indeed a rarity to appear in the Arctic.

If it weren't for the gaudy "painting" on its body, Zorro would almost not be able to recognize what species it is.

Looking under the monitor lizard, Zorro found that its limbs were about to freeze, so he quickly sealed the door and searched in his igloo.

"I'm sorry, it's because I didn't entertain you well and caused you to catch a cold! There will be penguins coming to make clothes for you soon, and now use these things as an emergency!" Zoro said while finding a few pieces of soft animal fur , distributed to these new visitors.

In addition to the Menas monitor lizard, there were also a fur seal, a giant seahorse, and...an unknown creature wrapped in a long robe, keeping its head down and not speaking.

Fur seals and giant seahorses, these two are familiar faces to Zorro, and they also came to the last exchange meeting, but it is a little uncertain about the unknown creature in the corner.

"Excuse me... do you need a blanket?" Zoro asked uncertainly when he walked to the corner of the igloo.

It had a vague premonition that the guy with his head bowed in front of him was very powerful.

Even through a thick layer of clothes, you can feel a deterrent force that cannot be ignored.

I don't know what kind of guy this is, I hope it's not here to make trouble.

"Need." Just when Zoro was feeling uneasy, a deep voice came from the robe.

Then, a slender arm stretched out from under the robe and grabbed the blanket in Zorro's hand.

arm?

Seeing a hand protruding from under the robe, Zorro became more and more puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "May I ask, what is your race...?"

"Me?" Hearing Zoro's question, the figure in the corner finally raised his head.

He pulled the robe on himself, revealing his lower body.

This is a well-proportioned and slender fish tail. The golden scales reflect the dazzling light, just like the sun in its heyday.

"As you can see, I am a mermaid." The figure in the corner said slowly.
