Overturned Tower

At this moment, Xiaoya suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps.

There was a gleam of hope in her eyes.

"Save, save—"

I……

But when she saw the faces of those people clearly, the remaining half of the words were stuck and swallowed.

It was the outlaws who were wearing a wolf-headed hood and suddenly attacked the neighborhood.

"A mermaid lady."

Someone saw her and sneered maliciously.

"Look guys, that cross section is beautiful."

"Tsk tsk, what a big tail."

"Look at that big tail...it feels like it can stew a big pot of fish soup."

"One thing to say, it's true. The meat on the tail looks very fat. Is it the kind of meat?"

"It's still pure white scales... This tail should be a carp, right?"

"It looks like a white koi. Platinum koi, probably. After all, it can only be seen that the tail is white, and it may be other koi with white tails..."

Those people also saw Xiaoya's distressed appearance.And indeed they stopped at her call.

But they didn't have the slightest sympathy for Xiaoya, not at all, instead they laughed at her.Point at her.

Xiaoya only felt her heart was like an ice cave, and realized their identities.

—They will never save themselves.Because this "war" was caused by them.

Believers of "Werewolves" hate the "inferior people" of Yongquan Island.

As the mixed blood of the Outer Islanders or the abnormality of the spiritual relatives, they were born with the characteristics of the terrestrial relatives...the so-called "those without scales".

Unable to enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment, all kinds of treatment, and even work cannot be obtained normally.Either mining, cutting trees, pumping oil, exploring...or just enjoying the treatment of others on the island, or being expelled from the island altogether.

Yongquan Island will not persecute them directly, nor will it actively enslave them.If they are willing to leave, they can even arrange for them to study and work in other sky islands.

——However, everyone knows that Yongquan Island is the best-paid sky island.

As the only empty island that is personally taken care of by a giant dragon, other empty islands have to give Yongquan Island some face.

If the other sky islands are nothing more than "city-states", then they are "empire".And it was an empire ruled by Ariake-kun.

At least for aquatic soul relatives, Yongquan Island is indeed a stress-free paradise... Even though everyone knows that this kind of preferential treatment is actually obtained by squeezing "those without scales", "those without codes" and other empty islands obtained by ordinary people, but those "scaled ones" are living an extremely happy life.

The work is only six hours a day, four days a week, and there is no pressure to find a job—you can even find a good job after high school, and the work is not too difficult.There are subsidies for education, medical care, pension, entertainment, and marriage, and they are full of smiles from birth to death.

They were born noble, and undoubtedly a nobler race.Don't worry about poverty and hunger, you can develop various hobbies you like.

——Then, what is the price?

All the price will be paid by other relatives.

These scaleless people live like slaves.They are even lower than the uncoded.

On Yongquan Island, the poor with scales don’t hate the rich, and the rich don’t discriminate against the poor—they unite together to discriminate against “those without scales from backward and depraved lands.”

They have very few spiritual relatives who can touch the sea, and they are also the only sky island who understand the knowledge that "more than 70.00% of the world's area is ocean".

Now that the land is polluted, they naturally feel proud.

Because their ancestors were all innocent and had no blood on their hands.

Their ancestors did not directly participate in the religious war, nor did they live a life of cannibalism in the chaotic last days.Because they originally lived by the sea and isolated islands, making a living by fishing.What happened on the mainland had nothing to do with them.

Some knowledge that is regarded as taboo in other sky islands is imparted openly here.Because they are deliberately cultivating this innate pride.

And among these aquatic species of soul relatives, a brand new concept has emerged.

--nationality.

While the society of the scaled people has become extremely united and friendly, those without scales also feel the same discrimination and alienation.

Obviously born on the developed and civilized Yongquan Island, who would be willing to be driven to those other twisted, busy, dangerous and depraved empty islands?

Obviously everyone was born on Yongquan Island, so why is it more noble to have scales?

Before the "werewolf" came along, people were just resentful about it.Even if they lived a hard life on Yongquan Island, even if they went to land to dig mines and cut trees, it was better than being driven away.

But today, the situation is different.

Since Yongquan Island doesn't want them...

——Then let Yongquan Island be distorted and chaotic like other empty islands.Anyway, no matter how bad their situation is, it will not be worse than it is now.

In this way, they will also be able to balance.

The attack they are launching now... is not so much that they have no scruples about civilians, but rather that their goal is to attack the "scaled ones".

Those with fish heads are the group with the highest priority to be attacked—because this is a special aesthetic that only people with scales can understand, and it is a special aesthetic that is contrary to human aesthetics. Pure" kind, the offspring are more likely to have scales.

And the one with the human head, the human face... is easier to forgive.

It was also because of this that after they had ridiculed Xiaoya, they still chose "compassion from the heart".

But that wasn't treating her, and it wasn't just leaving—

A man with a younger voice drew out a pistol.

"Forget it, seriously, brothers...she looks quite painful," he sighed, "this child is quite cute, she should not be too old."

"Come out and buy a cake."

Another person saw the strawberry cake on the counter and said casually: "Then give her a break. Let's eat the cake and then prepare to run away."

"Hey, are you going to run away?"

"The next battle has nothing to do with us... How about we smash this shop? The old man who owns the shop is also a fish head."

"It's not impossible."

The man walked over while loading the pistol.

"no, do not want……"

Xiaoya whimpered and begged: "Don't...I don't want to die...the cake, the cake is for you...please, don't kill me..."

The man wearing the werewolf headgear said softly: "Don't be afraid, Miss Mermaid. No one will come to save you, and it will be easier to die like this. If you don't hide, it won't hurt..."

"—But you should be in pain for a while."

A low and hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them.

With the casting of a large shadow, the man suddenly became nervous, bent his body down and looked back.

But he saw one of his companions flying over out of thin air, smashing towards him as if he had lost gravity!

Chapter 74 Mister Strangled, Very Gentle

The man subconsciously wanted to dodge, but in the end he couldn't dodge.

He was hit hard by the throwing companion, and he fell to the ground.Even the gun in his hand was dropped and fell to the ground.

Accompanied by successive gunshots, the man looked at the door in astonishment.

It was a lion man with a breathing mask tied on his face, and the hair all over his body was shining with golden light.In the storm, the lion's white mane was dyed with a brilliant golden glow, flying wildly.

It was like a sun god.Bright and divine, it takes your breath away.The majesty is so majestic that people subconsciously dare not attack him.

——It wasn't until the lion approached them, and without hesitation, threw one of them, and smashed it at the Xiaoyana man who was approaching with a gun, that they finally shot at the strangulation belatedly.

But such a small-power bullet doesn't mean anything to him.

He deflected most of those bullets just by raising his steel right arm.Only a few hit the abdomen and shoulders, but they didn't penetrate that layer of light curtain that was as thin as an illusion.

After receiving the attack, Hang Zhan opened his right hand with a random wave.

It was like throwing a handful of golden sand, streams of light hit their bodies in arcs like comets!

The chest, abdomen and shoulders of those men wearing werewolf headgear were pierced by the counterattack light, and blood spattered from the wounds.They all wailed in pain and fell powerlessly to the ground.But because the power of their own bullets was too low, they themselves were not killed immediately.

At this moment, Hangsha bent down and picked up a gun.

Seeing this, the man who was hit by his companion suddenly showed nervousness.

He reached out to touch the scattered pistols on the ground...but before he could reach it, he only saw a black shadow flashing by from the corner of his eye!

That was the pistol picked up by the strangulation!

He didn't aim and shoot, but directly threw the pistol spinning like a dart!

It slammed into the eyeball of the person who fell to the ground, and the severe pain made his consciousness blurred and his brain went blank for an instant.

But he has no chance of waking up.

Just as he was covering his eyes, lying on his side, rolling and moaning, a huge mechanical giant hand that could hold his face with one hand came directly to him.

Strangling grabbed his face, and then a huge force lifted him up from the ground—he even felt the wind blowing by his ears—the next moment, the back of his head was slammed against the wall!

Blood splashed out directly.

But the attack of strangulation did not stop.

Still focusing on the man's face, he slowly pulled him off the wall, and then smashed it hard again.

One, two, three.

With every hit, more bloodstains bloomed.Like a bright and gorgeous peony, it blooms on the wall.And the man's head was no longer human-like, and his facial features were completely covered by blood.

Until then, the strangulation finally let go slowly.

And the person he smashed against the wall seemed to be hanging on the wall.After the strangulation was let go, his body slowly slid down, fell to his knees and leaned back.A bright red "vertical" was dragged out, like "1" written with a huge brush dipped in blood.

So far, Hangsha didn't say a word.

Silent anger, like a spreading fire.The pitch-black smoke was suffocating at the scene of the fire.

He stood up slowly, his tall body casting a reassuring shadow.

He didn't spare those other people who were still howling on the ground, or passed out directly.

From the experience of growing up in the lower city of Happy Island, he taught the common sense that "making up the knife is necessary".

But he didn't even use his hands—he either kicked them hard in the back of the head, or stepped on their ears and pulled back, wringing their necks off.He just made a small circle around the house, and he dealt with all those people.

After that, Hang Sha knelt down and looked at Xiaoya who was looking at him with tears in his eyes.

For some reason... Stranding immediately remembered a legend he had heard.

The tears of mermaids can be turned into priceless pearls, so people would rather let them mourn forever.

——What kind of beast is that?I really want to give him two punches.

Strangling sighed silently.

His right arm was still in constant pain like a pinprick.

He squatted down lightly, reached out and stroked Xiaoya's hair very lightly with his fingertips.It's like stroking the head of a little milk cat, lest I touch too hard and hurt the other party.

Hang Hang's mouth opened and closed slightly, hesitant to speak.Fortunately, the white mist in the mask covered his mouth, so that his expression was not revealed.

Don't worry, it's all right now - that's what Strangled was going to say.

After rescuing Xiaoya from the point of view of the gun, Hang Zhan immediately thought of these words.

But he didn't say it.

—Because he hated such words very much.A strong sense of disgust hit his heart before he was about to say the words, pulling those words back into his stomach.

Talking about "it's all right"...is ridiculous.

Only people who are already late will say that.It is because they are late that others are frightened and even victimized.

But as long as he said something like "it's all right", it seemed that he could write off the crime of being late.

"……sorry."

That's why, said the strangler.

But upon hearing this, Xiaoya showed a hesitant, confused and uneasy expression for an instant.
