The leader of the foreign race was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to remove the mask on his face, when Yao Lanling screamed: "Mother, no!"
The foreign leader smiled bitterly and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is nothing worth covering up. What is supposed to come will come, sooner or later." As he spoke, the foreign leader took off the mask on his face, revealing a fair complexion.
His face was almost bloodless, and his appearance was quite handsome. Although he was a bit cold, he could be said to have kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and there was nothing shocking about his appearance.
Li Luo and Si Youjuan looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know why they bothered to cover up such a face. It was really hard to see anyone.
The leader of the foreign race looked at Li Luo and Li Luo, smiled sadly and said, "Can't you see?"
"What did you see?" Monk Si Youjuan Zhanger asked blankly, confused.
The alien leader gently pulled the collar of his cloak, turned around and showed the other half of his face to others. Li Luo's pupils tightened. Si Youjuan snorted and took half a step back, his eyes filled with coldness.
He looked coldly at the alien leader in front of him.
Half of the face, extending from the lower jaw to the earlobes, is covered with tiny fish scale-like armor, showing a green and white patch-dyed color. If it is just like this, what is even more chilling is that the neck of the alien leader actually has long hair.
There are about six or seven foreign objects that look like fish gills. With breathing, the gills move up and down, as if they are about to pierce the thin and transparent fleshy membrane covering the surface, making you scream at a glance.
People hate the cold.
Si Youjuan's mouth twitched and he shouted: "What is this? Are you humans or monsters?"
The alien leader put on a mask, pulled up his collar to cover the foreign object on his neck, and said with some emotion: "I can't tell whether it's a human or a demon. Even I can't tell the difference."
"What on earth is going on?" Li Luo suppressed the chill in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"Have you ever heard of the East China Sea sharks?"
"Shark man? That's just a legend. I've never heard of anyone seeing a real shark man in the East China Sea." Si Youjuan said in surprise.
"It would be nice if it was just a legend." The alien leader said softly, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and gently touched the mural on the rock wall.
"The sharks of the East China Sea? There are ancient scrolls in Dagan. It is recorded that there are sharks outside the South China Sea. They live in the water like fish. They do not waste time weaving. When their eyes weep, they can produce pearls. They are named Quanxian, also known as Quanke. They live in
In the Dragon Thread Palace of the South China Sea, dragon gauze came out and was woven by the spring. The gauze was as white as frost. It was called dragon gauze. Its price was more than a hundred gold, and it was thought that it would not get wet when it entered the water. The larger one was five or six feet long and shaped like a human being.
The eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, hands, and head are all that of a beautiful woman. I wonder what the ancient scroll records have to do with this East China Sea shark?"
"The sea connects to all directions, so how can the East and South China seas remain unchanged? The records you mentioned do exist, but most of the records recorded by the world are modified words. Seeing the beauty of the sharks, they thought about it and compiled romantic stories one after another. However,
We forget that although the sharks are described as humans, they are actually beasts. They have been living in this wild sea where they grow hair and drink blood since ancient times. If they are just kind-hearted, how can they survive?"
"Are you saying that the sharks are not as described in the books?"
"I have also read the records in the book. There are sharks in the South China Sea. They can live for a thousand years, and their tears will turn into beads, which are priceless. The lamps burned with grease will last for thousands of years. The sharks they weave are as light as feathers. The sharks become immortals.
As clouds and rain, rising to the sky and falling to the sea, oh, it sounds beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, a beast is a beast, and endowing beasts with human nature is just wishful thinking and nonsense."
Li Luo was silent for a long time, and then asked harmoniously: "What does the story of Leaping Dragon Gate have to do with the sharks?"
"Four hundred years ago, my benefactor took the ancestors of our clan to the East China Sea. There were sharks at the helm of the ship. My benefactor's wisdom and methods looked at the past and the present without second thought. Back then, he subdued a clan of sharks and found our clan after jumping over the dragon gate. The ancestors and the sharks on the ship stayed here, guarding Yuelongmen for generations. Soon after, the benefactor left the Yuelongmen and never came back. At the beginning, the sharks were quite law-abiding. Gong Fengmang did not dare to have any dissent, but there was no news about his benefactor for a long time. Slowly, the thoughts of those sharks changed. Although leaping through the Dragon Gate is a desperate situation, it is no less than a prison for our people, but for those sharks , this is just a corner of the East China Sea, except for the strong wind and waves, there is nothing unusual about it, and the most important thing is that our ancestors, including our benefactor, underestimated one thing."
"What's up?"
"Bloodline."
"Bloodline?"
"Well, yes, it's blood. About two hundred years ago, our ancestors suddenly discovered one day that there were fewer and fewer children among the people, and there were more and more dementia, stupidity, and congenital disabilities, and some even died in infancy. , the number of young children with sound minds and bodies dropped sharply, and I just realized something was abnormal. At that time, the sharks had little impact due to their long lifespan. Maybe they would encounter the same predicament a thousand years later. From that time on, our people became more and more Withered, it is difficult to survive in Yuelongmen, and unexpected deaths happen from time to time. However, the number of children born is far less than the number of dead clan members. If things go on like this, the fate of our clan is self-evident. It is precisely because of this that the ancestors of the clan discussed Then I made a decision that I had to make, but now it seems like it will have endless consequences.”
After finishing speaking, the leader of the foreign tribe remained silent. Si You Juan scratched his head and ears anxiously, and couldn't help but urge: "What decision?"
The leader of the foreign tribe was silent for a long time, and said slowly with endless sadness: "Take the strong men from the sharks and mate with the women of our tribe to give birth to young sons to continue the tribe."
Si Youjuan let out a breath of cold air. Although he had some guesses, he still couldn't help but shudder when he heard it from the leader of the alien race. It was against normal ethics for humans to harmonize with each other. Look at the leader of the alien race and Yao. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lan Ling's appearance was a punishment from heaven. Si Youjuan looked at the foreign leader, then at Yao Lanling, and asked suspiciously: "Then you are all..."
"A hundred years ago, a wise man from our race noticed the hidden danger and stopped intercourse with the sharks. However, it was too late to remedy the situation. The root of the disaster has been laid. If we have gone too far, there is no way to turn back." The leader of the foreign race sighed.
"Where is the problem?"
"Let's just call it the human heart."
"People's hearts? Do you mean that these people born later have different intentions?" Li Luo frowned slightly and asked calmly.
"At the very beginning, this method did alleviate the hidden danger of bloodline heirs. The number of newborn children in the clan increased greatly, and there were few tragedies of premature death and congenital defects. These children were able to run around when they were older. They are like flying, and they have amazing water qualities and can read and write.
