Chapter 1306 Mermaid, human?
After a while, the mermaid came out of the lake, revealing only the area above her chest, and the huge fish tail swung in the bottom of the water to maintain balance.
"Why are you back?" Li Xuehao looked at her with great interest.
The mermaid was five or six meters away from the shore, and her expression was still cautious, probably still very alert to him. She looked at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes: "Who are you?"
"Do you want to know my name?" Li Xuehao smiled, and when she saw her careful look, she also felt entertained, "It's a pity that I won't tell you."
The mermaid bulged her cheeks and stared at him, as if she was a little angry, but her delicate face became even more cute.
Li Xuehao didn't say anything and took out the fish scales with handwriting for the moment.
Seeing the scales on his hand, the mermaid's eyes lit up: "My!" Excited, she almost swam to the shore to grab the scales. However, thinking of the horror of humans on the shore, she didn't dare to go there.
Li Xuehao smiled and threw the scales back to her. They had already been stripped down. What's the use of going back?
However, to his surprise, the mermaid received the scales and really put the scales on one of the missing scales at the middle end of his tail. With a press of her hand, she actually took them back.
She shook her tail and made sure that the fish scales would not fall off, then she nodded with satisfaction.
Li Xuehao thought it was very magical. Mermaids were indeed different from humans. The scales they had taken off could grow back into their bodies, almost as magical as people could grow back if they lost a certain part.
"Thank you." After the mermaid shook her tail, she thanked the human on the shore. She did not have that kind of care or guard, because she finally knew that this human was here to save her. He encountered the scales he threw out for help, so he came to save himself. As described in the human book, he was a prince, to save himself, the princess in trouble.
"Can you ask you a question?" Li Xuehao finally felt some comfort when he heard her thanks. It was much better than not leaving nothing after she ran away.
"Yeah." The mermaid nodded. She swam a little further to the shore, and stopped again at about three or four meters, because there was not only the prince on the shore, but also a terrifying and huge monster, and she was a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." Li Xuehao knew what she was worried about, so he patted the body of the giant eel beside him.
The giant eel nodded in cooperation, indicating that he would not hurt anyone.
"It understands?" The mermaid looked at the giant eel curiously, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared. Can this sea beast actually understand human words?
"Yes, it can understand what we are talking about." Li Xuehao said confidently. The mermaid seemed to not finish a sentence coherently, and it was very concise every time.
The mermaid's eyes were filled with surprise. The giant beast that could communicate seemed very magical to her, and her fear gradually faded away. She swam a little closer, and about two meters away, staring at the prince who saved her: "Ask."
After she reminded Li Xuehao, she thought of the question she had asked her before: "I want to know, are there many people like you...? Do you have other tribe members?"
The mermaid looked at him and frowned. She shook her head first, then nodded again, not sure what it meant.
Li Xuehao couldn't understand it either. If there were many tribe members just nodding, why would they shake their heads again? Are there many similar people or is it the only one?
"I, one." The mermaid seemed to realize his doubts, pointed at herself and said.
"Are you the only one? You don't have a clan member?" Li Xuehao asked suspiciously. If there were no clan members, how did she be born? It's impossible to be raised by nature, right?
"Born, one." The mermaid pointed at herself and gestured a "1" gesture.
"What do you mean is that you were alone since you were born?" Li Xuehao guessed what she said.
The mermaid nodded: "Yeah."
"What about your parents?" Li Xuehao continued to ask.
The mermaid showed a blank look and shook her head: "I don't know."
I don’t know? In other words, I have never seen my parents since I was born? I don’t know how she came from? It’s hard for Li Xuehao to imagine how she survived in this vast ocean. She must be extremely weak when she was born. Any creature in the sea that is bigger than her may be her natural enemy, and she can actually survive.
"Why can you understand our words and still say it?" Li Xuehao asked again. In fact, he could roughly guess this question. He probably had any way for mermaids to come into contact with some human civilizations.
"..." When asked about this, the mermaid seemed very hesitant. It was probably her secret. However, when she thought that the human in front of her met her prince who came to rescue her, she quickly made another decision.
She swung her huge fish tail and swam to the shore, supporting the grass on the shore with both hands, revealing the fish tail out of the water.
A wonderful "singing" came out of her mouth. As the "singing" sounded, the originally huge fish tail gradually transformed and turned into a pair of legs.
Her fair and slender legs were not wearing any clothes, and her crystal clear skin was like white jade. She seemed to know how shy she was, curled up her legs and blocked the most private parts.
Li Xuehao couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was another thing that shocked him. The mermaid would actually lose her tail and become a real human! This is incredible!
Of course, this makes sense. Why she speaks Japanese? Because she can become a human and come into contact with humans, but she probably doesn't dare to get in depth, so she just understands some surfaces and is also wary of humans.
A mermaid who turns into a human will naturally not be as long as a fish tail. According to Li Xuehao's estimate, her appearance as a human is only 1.8 meters long, which is similar to his height.
This seems to be her innate ability, because during the process of the fish tail turning into human legs, Li Xuehao did not sense the effect of spiritual energy, which was just her instinct.
The giant eel next to it was also shocked. In addition to the shock in its black and white eyes, it seemed to have a strong envy. It was probably also amazed at this ability. Can a fish become a human? Why does it have this ability?
After the mermaid turned the fish tail into human legs, she swung it a few times and splashed some water. She seemed to enjoy the appearance of turning into legs.
