Blue Star

Gu Li coughed dryly, and straightened his bent knee to get close to Iris.

Iris grabbed his ankle, and before he had time to go any further, he saw Dao Porling holding a boiling iron pot and was about to turn around.

Gu Li hurriedly withdrew his feet, stood up and said, "I'll go to the back to rest."

"Don't go." Dao Porling put down the iron pot, pointed at Iris and said, "Go to the back and rest, don't hug Gu Li again while I'm not paying attention."

Gu Li: "You guys are sleeping and snoring, I can't sleep here."

He closed his mouth, took the water bottle he had just filled with Porphyrin in the aisle, and walked towards the ruins on his own.

Iris wanted to get up and follow, but was severely stopped by Dao Porling, "He's going to sleep in the back, you stay here."

"Snoring." Iris imitated Gu Li.

"That's fine too!"

Iris was forcibly detained and waited until midnight, when Daoporing and Mimier were both sound asleep, and then quietly went to Gu Li's resting place.

Gu Li put his arms around his chest against the pile of rubble, although he fell asleep, his brows were still tightly furrowed.

He took off his coat and covered Gu Li, squatted down and picked him up horizontally.After walking to a place far away from the other two, he sat down again.

Gu Li was woken up by the toss, and he didn't resist, and let Iris hold him like this.

He checked his wound just now, and drank a lot of water with ginseng inhibiting crystal powder to make sure that he was not infected before going to bed at ease.

But now, the body seems to be uncomfortable again, as if someone who is sick and cared about wants to act like a baby.His body seems to know how to find the right time to take advantage of Iris.

"Don't hold it so tight." He said hoarsely.

Iris relaxed a little, squeezed his hand and blew air into his palm to cool down.

Gu Li smiled and said, "In the sea, if someone of your kind gets sick, will you treat them like this?"

"No cure."

Iris tucked his hands into his clothes and rested his back against the broken wall.

"No cure? That's right, the fish in the sea are all self-fed." Gu Li closed his eyes, and asked again after a while: "How long can a mermaid live? Will it be longer than a human?"

Wild species, with some exceptions, are mostly short-lived.But mermaids, this kind of mutated biological group beyond his knowledge, don't know if they will live a relatively long time.

When the warship on Bermuda River had an accident, the mermaids he saw seemed to be about the same age as Iris.Of course, it may also be because the mating period just happened, so the average age is not very old.

Iris shook his head, he didn't know.There is no fish in the sea that cares about time like humans, but in the group, there has never been an elder like Daoporin.

Gu Li said wearily: "Iris, you have to live longer than me, I don't want to see anyone leave before me anymore."

Iris was anxious when he heard it, and tightened his arms and said, "Gu Li, he will live."

Gu Li fell asleep in his arms with his head up, and the lack of response made him irritable.Seeing Gu Li's eyelids trembling slightly, he lowered his head and licked his eyelashes.

Gu Li was half asleep and half awake, and responded casually with "Yes".

The clouds were getting lower and lower, accompanied by bursts of thunder.When it was almost dawn, it began to rain suddenly.

Gu Li's sleep was shallow, and he woke up after a few sporadic drops of rain.

He glanced at the time on his pocket watch, then looked at the dark surroundings, and couldn't help frowning: "Dawn has been delayed again."

Iris lay under him, with a few strands of morning dew hanging from her eyelashes and hair.The small water droplets accumulated a lot and slid down the corners of the eyes. When they brushed against the skin with tiny scales, there was a faint blue light unique to mermaids, which really looked like a pearl.

Gu Li reached out to wipe it, but he didn't grasp the strength properly, which woke the fish up.The scales also gradually receded the moment Iris opened his eyes, turning back into smooth and delicate human skin.

A few drops of raindrops fell and happened to hit Iris' eyes.But Iris didn't close his eyes subconsciously like ordinary people, and looked at Gu Li through a layer of water, but became clearer.

The dark blue pupils looked at the clouds behind Gu Li, as if they sensed something, but they couldn't determine the degree of danger.This feeling has always existed since I went ashore, and it is not much safer than in the deep sea.

The long-lost rain is like a sluice gate that has been exhausted, but it has turned into a torrential downpour in a few minutes.

Gu Li and Iris hurriedly got up and hid sideways under a ruin that could shelter from the rain.Immediately, Daoporing and Mimir also ran over.

He woke up late, drenched by the sudden torrential rain.

With the iron pot on his head, Mimir ran and complained to Daoporing who had an umbrella: "I can't hold up such a big umbrella!"

Dao Porling ran very fast, and took a few steps into Gu Li's shelter from the rain, then put away his umbrella and said, "What kind of umbrella do you use just a few steps away?"

Mimir followed under the ruins aggrievedly, shook his drenched clothes and said, "Then you still hold on."

Dao Porling didn't bother to talk to him, so he put down the supply bag and touched Gu Li's forehead, "The return was pretty fast, it seems that the fish soup from last night is still useful."

Gu Li turned his head away, and did not comment on the so-called fish soup.

He took out a map he found from the underground mining area and unfolded it on the ground, then pointed to the route he studied last night and said, "If you want to reach the Fifth Goddess Pillar, you have to go through a canyon. But according to the simple strokes marked on the map, This time the canyon should not be too hot and dry."

Dao Porling withdrew his hand and snorted coldly, "That's not necessarily the case, your map is already an antique more than 200 years ago, and the current landscape has long been turned upside down."

"It's not impossible. But according to my observation, the vegetation near the remaining two Goddess Pillars is more lush than the one on the road when we came here, and the phenomenon of drought is less likely to occur." Gu Li sat on the ground and said to several people: "But according to the From the stories passed down by the Boom Boom tribe, I can conclude that the fifth Goddess Pillar is empty, and we are likely to encounter more difficult monsters."

Dao Porling's heart pounded when he heard this, "It's so difficult to deal with, why don't you consider turning back now?"

Mimir couldn't help but interjected, "It's too late to turn around now. Every time the magnetic field disappears and then recovers, those monsters will grow rapidly. We encountered a lot on the way here, and it's probably like a 'mountain' when we go back now." Seeing that Porphyrin was about to slap him on the forehead, he quickly shrank and hid beside Iris, "Anyway, both front and back are dead, so it's better to keep rushing forward, and death can be understood. Also, the current situation The whole town is not very safe, last night I got up to release water at night, and I saw will-o'-the-wisps."

Dao Porling wrung out the wizard robe on his body, and corrected: "That's called a spiritual magnetic field, what kind of ghost fire scares the elderly."

Gu Li frowned, "Impossible. After the death of that mutated moray eel, all the mental magnetic field has dissipated, so how can I still see it."

Mimil suddenly got excited, got up too quickly and forgot that the place where he was hiding was short, bumped his head, and grinned: "Really! I really saw the will-o'-the-wisps. They glowed green, and they lined up in a row, coming from the town floated out."

Gu Li thought, "It may also be a mutated firefly."

"It's not a bug, I can already see a human face!" Saying that, Mimir raised his hand and squeezed his facial features, trying to show that terrifying face.

Dao Porling took a sip of water, "Have a nightmare, no one has such a face."

"it is true!"

During the conversation, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded above the ruins, making the few people who were talking silent for a while.

Gu Li touched the ring subconsciously. Fortunately, the crystal mine didn't lose its effect because of this, but the rain that hit the ground after the thunder changed its voice.The water droplets agglomerate into ice, which is quickly melted by the temperature of the surface after landing.

He pulled away Mimir who was standing on the opening, opened the defensive magnetic field and got out from the ruins sheltering from the rain.

The thick cloud cover is like a hazy net, evenly blocking all sight.He hasn't seen the sky clearly for a long time. It seems that since the crystal mine will fail, the clouds have been in such a state of fog.

Hail is kept outside the defenses and can range from clear to colored.Upon closer inspection, the colored hailstones turned out to be small sea fish after they melted.

Dao Porling, who followed closely, put on the mechanical glasses, picked up a finger-sized red sea fish and observed, "What a ghost, why did the fish in the sea come here?"

Gu Li said: "Under the abyss is sea water, and the bottom of the mainland has always been connected to the sea."

"The lair of the monster who just died?"

"Ah."

Gu Li checked the fish that landed.After making sure that these sea fish were not infected, they simply picked them up and threw them into the iron pot after simple treatment.

Iris's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait for Gu Li to cook, so he stuffed a few sticks into his mouth and chewed.It's a pity that it's a little small, and only five or six sticks can be eaten in one bite.

Mi Mier hurriedly set the pot on fire, rubbed his hands and said cheerfully, "It's been a long time since we've had a good meal. God definitely doesn't want us to starve to death, so the next fish rain will send us on our way."

Dao Porling took off his glasses with a blank expression on his face, "It's called a gift from nature, what sent us on our way. Can you speak?"

"Oh……"

Gu Li grabbed Iris' hand that was trying to hold the raw fish again, and taught, "Eat it when it's cooked."

Iris withdrew his hand, his eyes fixed on the iron pan that hadn't been heated yet.When he wanted to take the fish, he looked at Gu Li's expression, and if he didn't get the consent, he could only wait.

The number of fish is not many, only a dozen or so.It's impossible to satisfy one's hunger, but it's okay to satisfy one's hunger.

Daoporing took a piece of wood and fanned the flames that had just started in the woodpile, and said, "The weather is so cloudy and cloudy. Sometimes it rains like a flood, and sometimes it's hot like a drought. It's weird too." , if we change to a straight line, there is not much distance from the town to here, how can the weather be so different?"

When I first left the Boom Boom tribe, when I crossed the swamp, the rainstorm and drought were only a few steps away.Now it is even more outrageous, so far away from the coast, there are actually hail fish!Simply unheard of.

Mimir couldn't agree, "There aren't many roads? I think we've been walking for almost a century. No, don't change the subject, I really saw a ghost last night..."

Dao Porling couldn't help but interrupted: "Is it because the eyes are slender and long, and the mouth is opened like seven or eight eggs stuffed, as if you were scared to death?"

"Yes! Are you finally willing to trust me?"

After he closed his words, he suddenly noticed that the gazes of the other three people had changed directions, and they were staring at the gap in the wall behind him neatly and vigilantly.
