Mermaid Throne

Despite the new fire in his heart, the teenager still needs to work in a fish shop to make money, and fishing has become the main source of income.

There was not much wind and waves that day, but the weather was gray. It seemed that there might be a heavy rain in ten hours.However, the opening time for fishing is only a few days. Even if the harvest may not be good, fishermen still have to bite the bullet and go out to sea for a circle.

The only partner quit, and Tao Yiran could only drive the smallest fishing boat out to sea.

In the age of mermaids, the previous fuel engines could no longer be used. Human beings, whose navigation technology has gone backwards for hundreds of years, had to choose wind-powered sailboats again, or even paddled by hand.

Fortunately, there are fewer people going to sea, and even the offshore resources are enough to feed this group of fishermen.

Tao Yiran, who went to sea alone, chose to go to a nearby island to collect shellfish and fish.Seeing that he was the only one on the boat, the fishermen who went out together jokingly said that everyone would stop grabbing shellfish from him today, lest Chen Ajiao would not be able to pay her salary.

Tao Yiran remained silent, his expression seemed to accept this fact.

It took two hours to reach the small island, and there are very few fishermen nearby.Most of the shellfish and cheap small fish are produced here, and occasionally there are some sea crabs, all of which are weak and thin and have been swept by the tide.

Tao Yiran tied the boat, carried the cage, and started diving around.

His swimming skills are average, but unexpectedly, he can dive for a very long time, so he can dive to a depth of more than ten meters underwater without using props.

The sea, once polluted by humans to the point of dying, has gradually recovered its original beauty after being controlled by mermaids.Even the offshore islands have begun to grow coral reefs after decades of ecological restoration, and human garbage has been deposited into hills over time, covered with marine life.

Tao Yiran rummaged through the bottom of the water, and finally caught a stone spear fish pretending to be a stone from an old TV set, and an octopus hiding in the toilet.

When he caught some small sea fish again, the small fish basket was soon full.He swam up from the bottom of the water, threw the booty back to the boat, changed a fishing basket, rested for a while, and prepared to dive again.

When he took a deep breath, he suddenly heard a human voice in the distance.

This is a double-moon-shaped island, and Tao Yiran's position is at the angle between the two moons, so few people arrive.And listening to the voices of those people, it seems that they are in the bay next to them.

Tao Yiran didn't want people to find out that he had such a rich harvest here, and was about to drag the boat to a hidden place, when one of them exclaimed, "There are actually big fish here!"

Hey, there are bigger fish here?

Tao Yiran blinked, looked at the two palm-sized fish on the boat, and thought about how he still had a deposit of 1000 yuan, and suddenly became interested.

He slowly swam to a rock, and quietly looked over there.

On the other side of the beach was a fishing boat that was not much bigger than his own. Two people were standing in the water, holding a big black fish that was half the height of a person, their faces full of excitement.

The big fish struggled weakly and seemed exhausted.

The two were excited to throw the big fish onto the boat, but when the big fish saw the fishing boat, it suddenly began to struggle desperately. The two were caught off guard and almost let it slip from their hands.

"Damn it! Ah Dong! Bring the knife!" The older man cursed viciously.

Tao Yiran immediately felt distressed. If the freshness of such a big fish could be guaranteed, he didn't know how much he should sell it for. Although slaughtering it on the spot is convenient for transportation, the price will definitely be greatly reduced.

One of them jumped onto the boat to get the knife, while the other was still in the water. The big fish struggled twice, then seemed to have exhausted its strength, and floated there dying.

"Master, why don't you kill it, you can sell it for more money if you pull it back." A Dong saw that the fish didn't move, and felt distressed.

The master also understood this truth. After thinking about it, he also felt that it was true, so he asked him to continue to help him carry the fish.

The two were busy discussing, but they didn't notice that a dark figure slowly appeared behind them.

The master only felt a pain in his ankle, and immediately shouted: "I was bitten! It's a shark!"

A Dong was startled, and immediately stopped on the boat and did not dare to jump off. The master was furious: "Come down and help!...Ah!"

A Dong was trembling with fright: "Master, come up quickly! Don't worry about the fish!"

"Fuck you!" The master hurriedly hugged the fish to swim away, but the pain in his feet became more and more severe.It was like a ferocious fish was gnawing at his ankle.

"Shark!" His face was pale, he didn't care about the big fish in his hand, and he let go and climbed onto the boat.

Just as he was returning to the boat, the boat was suddenly bumped hard several times.

Only then did the two people who saw the dark shadow under the water be shocked: "It's a human!"

Tao Yiran held his breath for 4 minutes, but he was already close to the limit, so he floated up, exposed half of his head, and stared at the two men eeriely.

His eyes are deep, but with a viciousness that doesn't match his age. When he looks at people, it seems that he can stab a knife into your heart at any time.

"Who are you?" Seeing that he was only a young man, Ah Dong suddenly had the courage to roar.

Tao Yiran smiled viciously at them.Raise your hand, revealing the fish scales on it.

"Mermaid species..." the master blurted out.

"Get out." The boy in the water ordered coldly.

The two stared at him—the fish scales on that arm didn't look fake, and this guy popped out of the water suddenly, and it didn't look like ordinary people could do it... Thinking of the terrifying attack power of the mermaid species, just now The menacing two rowed the boat and left quickly.

Half of Tao Yiran's head was floating on the water, but his hand was tightly wrapping the big black fish in his pants.

After the boat was far away, he dived to the surface and pulled the big fish, which had no strength to resist, to the side of his boat.

The big fish, which two ordinary fishermen couldn't lift, was easily overturned onto the boat by a teenager.Tao Yiran filled a lot of water into the bottom of the boat, and after making sure that the water was enough for the big fish to breathe, he slowly peeled off the scales on his hands.

This is his elaborate fish scale armor.

Don't look at the fish scale armor that can only cover one arm, but it took him more than a year to make it.The fish scales are peeled off from a special kind of cartilaginous fish with great care, and then glued together piece by piece with transparent glue. Severe allergies can occur.

Putting away the fish scale armor, Tao Yiran turned his head to look at the black fish, and touched the shiny black scales on its body.

One hundred fish meat, thirty fish bones, and fish scales are worthless, what a pity.

Heiyu seemed to feel the killing intent, and shook his dorsal fin.

By the time Tao Yiran rowed the boat back to the shore, the dark clouds in the sky had already thickened.The sea is calm and calm, but more and more fishing boats around have begun to dock.

I don't know how long this torrential rain will last.Tao Yiran looked at the sky for a while, then jumped into the water and dragged the boat to the beach.The big fish on the boat wagged its tail uncomfortably amid the fluctuations, as if it had regained some strength.

After dragging the boat to a place where it would not be swept away by the wind and waves, Tao Yiran sat on the bow, staring at the big fish that kept flipping its gills. "I'm afraid I can't sell it today." He said to himself, but he sat on the boat without moving.

The bean-sized raindrops fell after only half an hour.The boy, who only wore a tank top and shorts, did not leave, but leaned against a four-meter-high sea pineapple tree, quietly waiting for the sky to completely darken.

The torrential rain was so fierce that even the mermaid guards at the pier hid in the sea because of the heavy rain.The pier, which was still lively in the morning, was suddenly empty.

Tao Yiran waited until his stomach growled before he carried the big fish out of the water-filled fishing boat and put it into a wooden basin more than one meter long.The wooden basin was already half filled with water, and it weighed so much that even two ordinary people might not be able to hold it up.However, this thin boy put the fish in by himself, then struggled to pick up the wooden basin, and slowly left the pier...

In the Mermaid Era, the population of seaside cities dropped sharply.

The coastal cities that used to rely on the port era to accumulate wealth declined one after another. After the coastline was ruled by mermaids, humans moved inland one after another.Only a few ordinary people who pursue ocean wealth or work for mermaids live by the sea.

Because of the sparse population, there are no tall buildings in the city.Ordinary small bungalows are scattered on high ground or slopes, using the most primitive way to avoid disasters in the ocean.

Tao Yiran's home is halfway up the mountain, a solitary location.

He has to train on weekdays and doesn't want to attract attention, so he chose this position.Thanks to this location, no one noticed that he was carrying a pot of valuable fish up the mountain.

He wanted to sell it early tomorrow morning when the inland traders came to collect the fish.Without going through Chen Ajiao's shop, he can make twice as much money. Of course, Chen Ajiao must not let Chen Ajiao know about this private work.

It was pitch black outside due to the heavy rain, and Tao Yiran staggered for about half an hour with a big wooden basin on his back, and finally returned to his home safely.

This humble little house with only one room, one kitchen and one bathroom only cost him two months' wages.The original owner died inexplicably at home because he offended the mermaid. It is said that blood flowed all over the place when he died.When Tao Yiran moved in, the floor was still dark red. In the end, he silently bought a bucket of gray paint and repainted the floor.

Putting the tub on the ground, the boy kicked off his wet shoes, went into the house barefoot, and lit the candles on the table.The dim candlelight illuminated the big fish in the basin that had begun to roll over and most of the water was spilled. Tao Yiran hurried into the bathroom to fetch a large bucket of water, and filled it up again.

The sloshing stopped, and the big fish rested for a long time before it finally recovered its breath. It turned over on its side and spit bubbles silently in the water before finally recovering its normal breathing.

Tao Yiran breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was unharmed.He hardly ate anything all day long, and this time he was really hungry, so he went into the kitchen with the only candle and started making dinner.

There was only a little bit of light leaking from the kitchen in the room, and the boy who was making egg fried rice in the kitchen couldn’t see it. The big fish in the wooden basin began to shake its tail greatly, and the straight body was struggling in the small basin. bent into a C shape.

The black fish scales receded gradually, and a head of long black hair appeared like magic. Soon, the fish turned into a child's body, with white and tender arms resting on the side of the basin, and an immature face emerged from the water. His bright black eyes stared straight at the busy figure in the kitchen, his delicate nose shrugged, as if he was smelling the aroma of fried rice in the air.

When the people in the kitchen came out with fried rice and candles, the child in the tub turned back into a black fish.

Tao Yiran didn't notice the movement in the basin at all. While eating his late dinner, he read an old and brittle martial arts textbook by the dim candlelight.

Today, when actual combatism prevails, fighting genres are no longer important.Martial arts, which have been passed down in ancient China for many years, have been reduced to ostentation due to excessive reliance on technology. Now, they can only be integrated with other fighting skills. The theory of self-cultivation has long been a legend.Evolved people have their own set of training methods. People who are still practicing ancient martial arts today are mostly weirdos who pursue other methods.

Tao Yiran knew such a strange person when he was in the underground boxing gym.The weirdo said that the most important reason for him to practice ancient martial arts was that he could not afford to go to the training school for evolutionary people. Tao Ran could save money by learning ancient martial arts. The weirdo learned ancient martial arts.

Later, the strange man died in the boxing ring, and Tao Yiran could only figure out the moves by himself from the few books he left behind.

But today he is really tired.It is really a difficult physical work for an ordinary boy to carry a weight of nearly fifty or sixty catties up the mountain.

Hastily picked up most of the bowl of rice, didn't even have the energy to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, went into the bathroom and flushed hot water, the boy fell on the bed wearing a pair of underwear, and fell asleep soundly.

The violent wind and rain outside made the wooden doors and windows buzz, and the people on the bed buried half their faces in the pillows.

In the dark room, the big fish in the tub stirred again.

There was a sound of rushing water, and a small white foot stretched out from the basin, and stepped on the ground cautiously.

After confirming that the person on the bed showed no sign of waking up at all, the child that the big black fish turned into quickly ran to the dining table, stared at the pot of fried rice with eggs that was still slightly steaming for a while, and then stretched out his hand to grab a small stuffed into the mouth.

Tao Yiran has lived alone for many years, and the level of fried rice can definitely be opened in a restaurant. The child’s eyes widened slightly after eating, and he quickly took a clean spoon from the kitchen, climbed onto the stool, and ate it with big mouthfuls. .

If Tao Yiran had been an experienced fisherman, he might not have taken such a big black fish so lightly as he is now.

The mermaid species known to mankind (recite four times) is like the legendary mermaid princess, whose upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish—when they need to land, they will transform into legs.However, these mermaids are not afraid of walking, and their running ability is even far superior to that of humans.Even the most advanced technology cannot explain why there is such a change that is beyond the scope of science.

But in the legend, there is still a kind of purest and highest mermaid remaining. They may be fishes living in the deep sea.

Of course Tao Yiran, who was unconscious, would not know that the big black fish he was about to sell turned out to be the legendary purebred mermaid.

Satisfied, the mermaid child put his chopsticks back to their original positions, and then moved closer to the boy on the bed.

There was a murderous look that did not match his age in those eyes like black pearls.

When Bai Nen's small hand raised the kitchen knife from the kitchen, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes!

The mermaid child took two steps back in fright, just in time to kick Tao Yiran's glass bottle beside the bed, the loud noise made the child even more flustered, he didn't even intend to aim a knife at the vital point, and chopped down randomly!
