[Through] Delicious Journey

A hundred years ago, the relationship between the Sea Clan and humans was far less severe than it is today. It can even be said that the waters of the wells do not interfere with the waters of the rivers.

The matter began with the site selection of Ancheng 40 years ago.

Ancheng is a famous underwater city, but the original builders were the Sea Clan. When the first Ancheng City Lord decided one of the five cities in Ancheng, the relationship between the two clans was quite harmonious. But since then, the Sea Clan and the The offspring of human beings—the murlocs gradually came into view, and grew stronger as they multiplied, becoming the fuse that triggered the current confrontation between the two races.

The peculiar appearance of the murlocs is not recognized by the sea people, and their innate talents like skills are especially feared by humans. Over time, large-scale bloodshed incidents continued to occur in several conflicts between murlocs and humans, and because murloc slaves The promulgation of the bill has caused today's endless situation.

"I don't understand." Ying Cui said puzzled, "Most of the murloc's characteristics are those of the sea tribe, and they all have their own talents and strengths, so why don't even the sea tribe accept them? There is another question, why the sea tribe Are the murlocs and the murlocs separated? It sounds like two races, so aren’t the murlocs considered to be the sea clan?”

"Sea Clan?" The old man said indifferently, "When you meet the real Sea Clan, you won't have such a problem."

"Okay, that's all for today's story, let's make lunch first."

Ying Cui's heart felt like being scratched by a cat. Halfway through the conversation, it was too much trouble, but seeing the old man's tight-lipped appearance, he probably wouldn't say any more.

While mixing the minced meat with sauce in the basin, the old man commanded Ying Cui and said, "You know how to kill fish?"

The latter nodded.

"The fish is under the tree outside, you go and clean it up for me, and again, don't think about escaping from here, other places on the island except me are under surveillance, if you are found, you can figure it out, hehe .” The meaning of the threat is self-evident.

Not to mention how aggrieved Ying Cui was, she was about to ask for some information about Cha Bei, but he swallowed it.

Walking down the stairs outside the house is the beach, where the golden sand and the blue sea complement each other, creating a unique island style.

Ying Cui went to the tree not far from the house, and quickly found the fish the old man said, because the fish was too big, and it was hard to avoid being found.

Fortunately, it wasn't a wolffish, and it didn't have thick scales or barbs on its body, so it wasn't too hard to clean it up.

The body of the half-person-high fish is quite open, and inside is a ball of viscera. Take it out, rinse the fish with water, and put it in a large net bag beside it.

Looking around, he found a plantain-shaped leaf and put it on his shoulder, ready to carry it back.

Just stood up, thinking to go back quickly to avoid the old man nagging, suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind, covering his mouth tightly, so that no sound could be heard.

The fish fell into the sand, and after finally scraping off the fish scales, the ingredients after washing with water were covered with a layer of sand, and it seemed that it had to be rinsed again.

"Shh, it's me."

Although the voice of the person next to her ear was deliberately lowered, Ying Cui recognized it immediately, reached out and patted the hand covering her mouth, indicating that she already knew.

"Yi Nie, why are you here?" Ying Cui turned around and looked at the man in surprise. After being captured by the murloc, she finally returned to her original place. She opened her arms and gave him a hug.

"Ahem." Fanmi, who was ignored at the side, found a sense of presence, and when no one paid attention, he lowered his head and stepped on the sand.

After Ying Cui calmed down, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and retreated embarrassingly, only to realize that it wasn't just Yi Nie, there were three other people acting like passers-by.

One is Fanmi, and the other two are strangers, but this does not prevent Ying Cui from admiring beauty at the moment, especially the beauty with long blue hair, who is beyond description.

Noble, glamorous, just standing can give people a thrilling beauty, like the darling of the sea, seeing the deep blue vast sea at a glance, so that people forget to breathe.

Yi Nie recalled the embrace just now with some disappointment, and in a blink of an eye, seeing that her sweetheart's thoughts were on other people, she bared her teeth and looked at Bu Yasi.

The latter said that he was very happy to see someone deflated, but for the sake of his own safety, he still started to do business.

He took something out of his waist pouch and started digging holes in the sand.

Fanmi came over and walked around Ying Cui, heaving a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the landlord is fine."

"I, uh, it's okay." I remember that Fan Mi reminded himself not to move around before being hit by the sap, but because he was worried about Cha Bei, he wanted to go out and have a look, and then he came out now. Thinking about it, I feel a little sorry for the boy, Ying Cui apologized, "Sorry for making you worry."

Fan Mi smiled, showing a row of white teeth, "Then you have to make me Coke Chicken Wings when you go back."

"..."

At this moment, the old man's voice came from the wooden house, "What's the matter, the action of killing a fish is still slow?"

Others were taken aback.

"You guys hide first, this old man is a scientific researcher of the experiment, you can come out after I find out the hiding place of those children." Ying Cui said hastily.

The situation is urgent now, and there is no time to ask how they got here through the reefs and wolf fish schools. Everything will be discussed after the child is rescued.

"He is Li Wen, the researcher of the artificial murloc." Bu Yasi buried his things and stood up and said, "Without him, the murloc would lose an arm."

A fierce light flashed in Yi Nie's eyes, "It will be faster to catch it?" Instead of waiting for Ying Cui to reply, it would be more realistic to do it directly.

Bu Yasi played with his hair and teased, "This old man is very stubborn, maybe he will scare the snake, why don't we wait for our people to come before we do it."

Everyone thought for a moment, and the old man's tone became impatient.

"Here it is, it takes a lot of effort to wash the fish so big." Ying Cui responded, asking Fanmi to help him wash the fish again, while the others were still thinking about countermeasures.

Speaking of which, the fish is really big, and the sand still sticks to the surface of the fish, and it will be troublesome to brush a little bit of fine sand.

"Let me do it." The beautiful blue-haired man looked cold and his voice was unexpectedly soft. As soon as he raised his hand, the nearby sea water would come to wrap the fish for cleaning, not to mention how miraculous it was.

Ying Cui now understood how they came here, and he also believed that the beautiful man said they came here by stepping on the waves.

"Thank you." Carrying the fish on his shoulders again, Ying Cui thanked, turned to Yi Nie and said, "I will find a way to come out to meet you at dinner time, by the way, surveillance cameras are installed everywhere on the island, you'd better not wander around .”

Yi Nie nodded, "Understood, that's why we went ashore here." After finishing speaking, she stared at Ying Cui with softness in her eyes, "Be careful."

"..." His gaze was too deep, Ying Cui couldn't recognize what emotion was mixed in it for a while, and finally it only became a soft word "good".

……

After returning to the house, the old man really didn't look good, blowing his beard and staring, he almost missed the kitchen knife.

At this moment, Ying Cui's heart is determined, which is different from when she left the house.

Lunch consisted of fried meatballs, rice with fish soup, and some pickles made by the old man. When it was time to pick up the meal, Monroe sneered at Cui again, and it was only after the old man kicked it that he stopped for a while.

After lunch, Ying Cui sat on the doorstep and stared at the trees by the sea in a daze. There was no one there anymore, maybe they all hid in the sea.

The sun was just right in the sky, and it was very warm.

"Get up." The old man walked down the stairs, "Come with me, you will help me in the future, first take you to the research room to get acquainted."

Ying Cui's eyes lit up, but she pretended to be reluctant.

The old man seemed to see his thoughts, and said lightly, "If it were you, maybe those children would suffer less."

Ying Cui heard what the old man meant, and she just wanted to persuade those children that human beings are better at communicating than murlocs.

And if those children want to live, they can only accept it.

Suddenly thinking of the child who was killed by the murlocs in the underground sewer that day, Ying Cui's heart tightened.

He had to find Chabei quickly and rescue those children, the consequences of being late would be disastrous.

……

Lu in the research room was farther than he thought. There were murlocs holding hands along the way, and there were layers of vigilance. Not to mention children, even ordinary hunters would have to work hard to escape quietly.

The more Ying Cui lost her mind, the more she sank.

The research room is an embryonic room made of earth, which looks old. The walls are densely covered with climbing vines, and the black metal windows look gloomy and cold.

Remember the route silently in your heart, and follow the old man inside.

The space was unexpectedly large, and it was divided into several small rooms. There were a dozen or so children imprisoned inside, huddled together, looking at the people who came in in horror.

One of the rooms was the child who was imprisoned with Ying Cui in the old factory in Heba City, and when he recognized him, he immediately glared at each other.

Ying Cui couldn't bear to turn her head away, and continued to search for Cha Bei among the people.

Got it!

Apparently Cha Bei also saw Ying Cui, and opened his mouth to call out, but was stopped by a look, opened his mouth or closed it, and looked over innocently with big eyes.

Ying Cui was so anxious that he didn't know what was going on now. If someone found out about his relationship with Cha Bei, he couldn't imagine what the other party would do to the child to threaten him.

However, even if it was just a moment of eye contact, the old man who paid attention to Ying Cui's movements as soon as he came in took it into his eyes. He said to the guarding murloc, "Bring that child out." He pointed to Zha Bei.

A group of children in the room dispersed when they saw the murloc approaching, leaving only poor little Chabe standing alone in the middle.

Ying Cui's heart was tense, and if the murloc dared to do anything to protect it from failure, he would scream in the next moment.

Cha Bei was brought in front of him, the child was not stupid, so he restrained himself from looking at Ying Cui, his small mouth pouted slightly in grievance.

"Do you know this child?" the old man said, knowing who he was talking to without thinking.

With a thought, the fishman pushed Chabei over.

Ying Cui was startled, and the conditioned reflex caught her, and the child burst into tears as soon as it got into the arms of its relatives.

It doesn't matter if you cry, the key is that there are hundreds of children locked up in several cells around. Hearing the cry, he couldn't help sobbing, which made people feel sad.

The old man frowned, "Go, talk outside."

The murlocs knocked on the door panel in an attempt to calm the children down.

The door was closed, blocking all sounds inside.

Cha Bei wept uncontrollably in Ying Cui's arms, the old man shook his head, "Go back first, let's see what's inside next time."

When the murlocs guarding the gate saw the old man coming out with a child, he wanted to stop him, but when he thought of the old man's temper, several murlocs looked at each other, but they still couldn't come forward to stop him, and watched him take him away.

in the wooden house.

Ying Cui hugged Cha Bei and confessed first, "This is my child, who was taken away while looking at the fish lantern." After brewing his emotions, he asked, "Can I keep him?"

In Ying Cui's arms, Cha Bei flinched and looked at the old man with tears in his eyes.

The old man frowned, turned and went into the house, "If you want to stay, you can stay."

……

The agreed time with Yi Nie is dinner time.

Towards evening, Ying Cui was sent by the old man to wash the vegetables by the river with the ingredients to be used.

The old man didn't doubt it either, maybe in his consciousness, no one can enter Langyu Island, and Ying Cui can't get out, even if he wants to escape, he might not be able to escape with a Chabei.

Taking one step at a time and looking back at the wooden house, Ying Cui breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the old man hadn't come out to check.

Cha Bei looked at the movements of the people around him in doubt, and obediently did not ask any questions, but just tightened the corner of Ying Cui's clothes. After he came out of the research institute, his temper suddenly calmed down.

The setting sun dyed the sky red, only a few seagulls screamed about the exhaustion of returning birds.

"Crash." There was a slight sound of water breaking in the sea behind the tree, and several figures emerged from the water.

Ying Cui had the foresight to cover Cha Bei's mouth, and when she looked up, she was surprised that there were five more people than at noon.

"Who are these people?"

Yi Nie came over, "Help." He lowered his head and rubbed Cha Bei's head, scraped the child's nose, and didn't ask anyone how to get it back, just leaned over and picked up the child.

Cha Bei hugged Yi Nie tightly and did not speak, another layer of mist clouded his eyes.

"I know the location of the laboratory, can I draw it for you?" Ying Cui lowered her voice.

Yi Nie shook her head, "When we met at noon, Miao put a watermark on you, and we all know what happened afterwards."

"Miao?" Ying Cui looked around and found that the blue-haired beauty was gone. Thinking of the way the other party washed fish at noon, she couldn't help asking, "The blue-haired man?"

"En." Yi Nie patted the child on the back, "Take a rest first, and I'll take you back to Heba later."

Fan Mi came over, picked up the sleeping child, and checked his body with his hand on his forehead.

"Go back?" Ying Cui realized that her voice was louder, and lowered it a bit, "What about those children?"

"Boom." Just as he was speaking, there was a roaring sound not far away, the direction was the research institute, and then a waterspout rose into the sky, and it lasted like magic for a long time.

"What's going on?!" The old man rushed out of the room, and after noticing the situation of the research institute, he looked in the direction of Ying Cui, and was stunned.

Ying Cui was also shocked, "That is, skills?"

"It's the ability of the Sea Clan." Yi Nie smiled slightly, turned to Bu Yasi and said, "It's time for you to clean up the mess."

The black-haired man shrugged, showing a helpless expression, and after sending the signal transceiver into the air, he left with five people.

"He is?" Ying Cui asked suspiciously.

"The Lord of Ancheng."

"Him? The city lord?" Ying Cui quickly looked in the direction they were leaving, but only saw a back view. She was slightly disappointed that she didn't look at the big man just now. It was a pity, "Why do you know everyone?" As for Yi Nie, he It is becoming more and more invisible.

"My friend is so easy to handle." Yi Nie accepted this as a compliment.

After Bu Yasi left with a group of people, there were only 5 people left, 4 adults and [-] child.

"This is the water gauze, Sea Clan." Yi Nie introduced the woman to Ying Cui, "She will take us back later."

"Hello." Ying Cui noticed that the woman was soft and weak, with dark blue hair and eyes, and extremely fair skin. At first glance, she looked a bit like Miao, and she was also a beauty. She couldn't help asking, "Miao is also a sea tribe?"

If so, Ying Cui somewhat understands why the old man said, "You wouldn't ask such a question when you see the real Sea Clan."

It turns out that the real sea people are more handsome and beautiful than ordinary humans, and compared with the murlocs, they are two extremes. No wonder people would deny that the murlocs are also a sea tribe.

"Miao?" Shui Sha said cheerfully, "He is our current patriarch."

"Patriarch?" Ying Cui didn't know what to say, feeling that all the people he met today were big shots.

Bu Yasi disappeared with his people for a while, and the battle in the research room was still going on, but the waterspout above was much weaker.

Waited about 10 minutes.

Fanmi sat beside Chabei with her arms in his arms, a little drowsy, while Shuisha was staring at the sea in a daze, and Yeni was the most boring one, picking leaves and playing with them.Looking at their actions, they didn't even intend to leave.

After sitting for a while, Ying Cui couldn't stay any longer, and felt restless on the island all the time, so she asked, "Do you want to wait for them to come and go together?"

Yi Nie raised her head when she heard the words, and said casually, "Wait for someone, we'll leave when he comes..." As he spoke, he seemed to sense something, and turned his head to look to the other side of the beach, "Here we come."

Ying Cui followed her gaze, and saw the dark blue-haired person from far to near.
