Chapter 172 The Song of Merfolk

Listen to this merfolk Two words, Romon eyelids twitched, this is a race that once appeared, but has long since disappeared in the long river of history.

The races that have appeared in history today, except the dwarves, are still very active, and other races have basically disappeared, and the merfolk has long disappeared from the world.

The merfolk has been hunted on a large scale throughout history.

merfolk In extreme sadness, tears that fall will turn into pearls that glow at night. And shark oil is used to make the fuel for kerosene lamps. One drop can burn for several days. It is not afraid of wind and rain. It is the best fuel material. It can be said that it is a treasure.

In the history of Sharkmen Race and Human Race, there was a long war.

However, after mankind entered the age of steam, Sharkmen Race completely withdrew from the world stage. If this is really a merfolk, then the value of the other party…

Romon thought about it, and so did Garfiel.

The black clothed old man looked shocked: “This fog is caused by merfolk’s fog-making ability. I tell you that this merfolk is full of treasures. If we two If you can catch the opponent, you will make a lot of money this time.”

“Now we are in the fog, and we can’t even get out of this fog, how can we catch it?” Romon was not too excited, this one The merfolk can seriously injure the third rank awakened, and he is not a good person. If he and the others rush there, it is not clear who is the prey and who is the hunter.

Garfiel also calmed down, he did not forget the current situation.

But wizards have so many ideas.

Soon he took out two bottles of dry black powder from his pocket and sprinkled them on their clothes: “This is a powder made from a crocodile spider, which has a restraint on Sharkmen Race. These guys are in the water. It appears and disappears unpredictably in the fog, many methods are difficult to prevent, only this thing works wonders, they are very annoying.”

After the two were well protected, they began to go to the place where they gathered before. go.

It was agreed before the action. If there is a special situation, then we will meet here.

The other two teams haven’t used the Meteor Amulet yet, so they shouldn’t be in danger at the moment. As for the situation where there is no time to use the talisman in case of danger, it is basically impossible.

The strength of merfolk has not reached this point.

Otherwise, those awakened impossibles in the first few times were just serious injuries.

If you want to kill two third rank in seconds, you must at least be at the level of Swana, and it is only possible under the condition of secret sneak attack and full strength attack.

So Romon and Garfiel concluded that the other two groups were fine.

Came to the previous meeting place, which indeed confirmed the conjecture of the two. Rudolph and the smiling man he hired who looked like Extreme Yang were already waiting here.

The four exchanged information with each other.

As a result, they didn’t finish exploring their respective areas, and were forced back by the fog halfway through. During this time, Romon met the smiling youngster.

Jerold, third rank awakened, is a private investigator by profession.

There are a lot of private detectives in this era, but one like Gerald is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. I heard Rudolph say that this detective is very famous in the circle, and he was invited this time to find the traces of the murderer.

The four of them discussed together and guessed that the murderer was merfolk.

Jianhai is well-defended, but it is possible that a Sharkmen Race might sneak in, and how it survives here is unknown.

“Mr. Gerald, have you found anything?”

Garfiel asked the great detective.

The other party smiled slightly, with a calm expression: “There are indeed some, but the last group has not returned, so I can’t be sure. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the murderer is not one, but at least two. !

It may be two merfolks, or it may be one person and one shark.”

Rudolph and Gerald went to the factory where the murder case occurred recently, and the information they got More, coupled with the awakening ability and analytical ability of this private detective, the other party said that he should have found some clues.

Jerold wanted to say something else.

But at this time, in the depths of the thick fog, a faint singing voice suddenly came. The singing is melodious and melodious, with a sense of resentment and coldness, with an air of inspiration, it sounds extremely pleasant and makes the expressions of the four people change.

Because the song contains spirit strength, it has a charming effect.

Romon was just shivered all over, then quickly calmed down and got through this time Spirit Attack, but the others weren’t so quick.

The second sober was Gerald.

It took a few seconds for the other party to wake up, then looked at Romon in surprise, and then said with a smile: “didn’t expect Mr. Romon’s spirit strength is so strong.”

“It’s just luck.”

Seeing this guy’s eyes, Romon always felt a little weird.

As if the person knew him before.

After more than ten seconds, Garfiel came back to his senses from the charm of the singing voice, with a heart palpitating expression on his face. If it was at war, that long time would have been enough for him to die several times.

But he wasn’t the worst.

Rudolph simply showed no signs of coming back to life.

Although this guy is also third rank, he has lived a comfortable life for many years, and his strength is a lot worse than the normal third rank awakened.

The other party actually moved towards the direction of the singing and walked slowly, looking confused.

If no one took the initiative to remind him, it is estimated that he will keep walking like this, and it is only possible to regain his sobriety after being attacked.

Jerold only woke him up after using the spiritual ability.

The sober Rudolph had a look of horror in his eyes, “The place where the singing came from seems to be in another patrol area, let’s hurry up and take a look, this merfolk’s The singing is so evil!”

Indeed, the two of them haven’t sent back any news yet.

And also did not use the Meteor Charm.

This strange situation is really worrying.

But just as the four of them were preparing to pass, a new accident reappeared, and the place covered by the singing was almost the entire huge pearl processing factory.

In this factory, there are still hundreds of workers working!

“Rudolph, how many hours do you work in your factory? Are those workers off now?” Romon turned to ask.

Rudolph replied immediately: “There are three shifts in the factory, and there are people working 24 hours a day! There should be hundreds of people working here.”

24 hours a day, what kind of capitalist is this!

Romon complained in his heart, but he was soon in no mood to complain, because the workers in the factory were all attracted by the singing, and began to walk out like sleepwalking, moving towards the direction of the singing.

Under the night sky, the melodious singing spread.

“You and I will be separated, don’t grieve over leaving the unfortunate one.

Don’t forget the one who forced you to be born.

My death Instead, it makes it easy and free, and you and I have to walk together in the grave.

My everything comes from you, and I give it back to you.”

In the voice of grievance .

These people are silent, walking on the ground filled with white mist, like devout worshippers.

Rudolph tried to wake them up, but after a few tries he gave up.

These people couldn’t wake up, even using the awakening ability, they didn’t show any signs of waking up, even Gerald couldn’t wake them up.

“In my opinion, why don’t I use voodoo to poison them all? Otherwise, these people will definitely die.”

Garfiel put forward an extreme Unreliable advice.

Let him do it, maybe these people have nothing to do, and Romon estimates that even voodoo can’t control these people. Gerald’s interference from Spiritual Plane has no effect.

If you want to solve the problem, you can only solve the source.

At this time, the flying star amulet on the four of them suddenly trembled.

The complexion of the four people changed slightly, looked at each other, and immediately moved towards the direction the amulet sensed. Although the workers were still heading in the direction of the singing, their speed was higher than the speed of the four. It’s just too slow.

They decided to go straight to the source of the singing and support the two third rank awakened by the way.

After passing through several factories quickly, the dense fog in front of me was so thick that it could not be dissolved, and even people around me might lose their sight in the fog at any time. Rudolph, based on his own memory, recognized that this was the pool fountain in the factory.

The area here is not large, and usually not many people come, but at this moment, the dense fog in the fountain has almost condensed into reality, like a pile of white clouds.

Singing from the fountain pool.

The closer the four of them got, the more they felt that there was a deep sadness in the song.

Rudolph was even affected by this strange singing, tears flowed from his eyes, and he only felt that his heart was enveloped by inexplicable sadness.

Romon felt the same way.

But it’s still under control.

The four of them approached slowly with serious expressions, and soon discovered the abnormality.

The floor tiles on the edge of the pool are covered with layers of black silt, and there are many huge mussels squirming on them. These mussels are like butterflies in the mud, and they look very strange.

Garfiel approached.

The mussel shell suddenly opened its fan blades, and pieces of mussel meat spurted out rotten sludge like bullets. He hurriedly dodged, and the black silt shot on the mud next to it, immediately corroding a large, fine hole.

Garfiel was flustered and exasperated roaring: “Rudolph, you never said that you still have this kind of stuff in your factory!”

At this moment Rudolph’s whole body He was also in a state of shock, with a look of consternation: “I definitely didn’t make it up. This used to be a fountain, and few people came here! If it hadn’t happened today, I wouldn’t have come here.”

Romon realized that something was wrong and took two steps back, not approaching the area full of mussels.

But at this time, the mist of white slowly dissipated.

The four of them gradually saw the situation in the center of the fountain.

Above the high platform column in the center of the fountain, a creature with a fish tail in its lower body and a human body in the upper body is sitting.

Its cheeks, chest, abdomen and shoulders are covered with scales, and on both sides of the cheeks, there are huge fins like fan blades, which look extremely scary.

This is a female merfolk!

Under the bright moonlight, it raised its neck and sang to the moon, attracting all creatures around.

But looking at its ferocious and terrifying appearance, as well as the stinky saliva that flows from its mouth from time to time and the dense barbs that can be vaguely seen, it will make people lose all strange ideas.

Under the pillar on which the merfolk sits.

The two third rank awakeneds were twisted together like a twist, their hands and feet were haphazardly put together, the bones of the two were glued together, and the head of one was sunk deep into the chest of the other. . The two are like building blocks put together, terrifying and weird, and even just looking at them will make people feel extremely uncomfortable.

These two third rank awakened signals for help.

As a result, by the time the four came over, the two cold corpses had been turned into toys and displayed here by the female merfolk.

This is not a problem that third rank can handle at all!

Romon felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, not even think, and swept his feet backwards.

Other guys see this situation, they still don’t understand the danger here, they also use full speed to stay away from this weird place.

Garfiel and Gerald ran only a little slower than Romon.

And Rudolph is now dumbfounded.

He was still standing there, with a blurred look in his eyes, looking at the merfolk sitting on the stone pillar in front of him, lit by the moonlight, his footsteps moved towards the front instead.

Is this Old Guy still an alien controller?

Romon frowned, picked up a stone next to him and threw it at Rudolph. Whether he can wake up or not depends on his luck, and now this situation can only be done for this sake.

Garfiel and Gerald didn’t even look back.

merfolk’s singing has reached a high point, and its temptation has increased several times compared to just now, and the workers in the factory walked over one after another.

Romon felt like his brain was splitting over the song, and he was thinking more and more slowly, so he could only get away quickly.

Who can believe that there is such a big crisis in this pearl processing factory?

No, even the awakened of the Second Rank didn’t die before, why did he suddenly kill two of the third rank awakened now? In such a short period of time, it was completely impossible.

Unless there is a problem with Rudolph’s intelligence.

Judging from the situation he showed, the other party has an unclear connection with the merfolk, and it is very likely that he has been confused by the merfolk and made this game.

Thinking of this, Romon secretly hated that this profiteer was really unreliable.

Leave the hell out of this place before you plan.

He zips through the fog like a ghost in the fog. However, it didn’t take long for a cold touch to come from his back.

He instantly froze.

Turn around and look.

A translucent illusory shadow wriggled in the white mist, passing through his body, and there was no volume collision between the two.

Romon glanced at the place where he had been pierced, where the skin was dry and yellow, like it had been drained of all moisture, and this thing was sucking him!

As blood energy surges up, psychic energy flows.

The skin recovers quickly.

But with such a strange thing, Romon was endlessly afraid, even more afraid to linger, and quickly ran to the door of the processing factory.

It is easy to get lost in the fog.

It may be only several hundred meters away, but it has to go around several large circles, trapped in it and unable to get out.

Romon also searched for a while before he found the door where he came in.

However, at this time, he discovered that there was something guarding the gate!

Romon narrowed his eyes and observed the door, where there were many shadowy shadows wandering in the fog, exactly the same as the guy who sneaked at him just now.

At this moment, Gerald also rushed out of the fog, but he had some injuries on his body, and it seemed that he had experienced a fierce battle.

Unfortunately.

Romon hides aside, intending to let him explore the way.

In the end, the guy was also very vigilant, and he also noticed the strangeness outside the gate. He didn’t act rashly, but prepared to find another way.

But since there are such weird things at the gate, it’s certainly not so easy to get out of other places.

The merfolk has been lurking in this place for a long time. Now that they are doing this, they probably won’t let them leave at will.

No way.

It doesn’t make sense to continue consuming it, it may become more and more dangerous on the contrary.

Romon moved forward a dozen steps, but as soon as he got close, those white illusory shadows began to surround him.

They made strange noises in their mouths, and cold light bloomed in their eyes. Every time they passed through their bodies, Romon’s skin would die in a large piece, and the blood in his whole body seemed to be frozen.

And these monsters are immune to his attacks.

Romon frowned, seeing more and more illusory shadows entangled in it, if it continues to consume, it will only get weaker and weaker.

He didn’t hesitate to wake up the ancient python tattoo on Spirit Physique.

Based on his previous experience, these strange things are items of great nourishment for the tattoo of the ancient python. This time did not disappoint Romon. Facing these illusory shadows that Romon can’t touch or touch, the ancient python tattoo is like eating buns, one bite at a time, and each bite will give out a part of the power to nourish Romon. body of.

Soon these guys were devoured.

Romon’s face brightened, he seized this rare opportunity, and he successfully rushed out of the factory shrouded in fog. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a powerful energy emerge from behind, and a sense of crisis exploded in the heart.

Romon immediately appeared in rock-colored scales.

Meanwhile.

A jet of water rushed out of the fog and hit the back hard, knocking Romon off several meters and smashing into the adjacent wall.

A male merfolk slowly walks out of the fog.

The other party’s eyes were scarlet, and his body was covered with fish scales. His weird cheeks twitched, full of hostility: “If you can solve the water charm, it seems that you are those human awakened! Want to grab the shark The people of pearls must die! You greedy human beings should all be buried in the sea!”

“I’m not for your bullshit pearls.”

Although my heart has already There was more than one merfolk prepared, but the other party’s sneak attack from the fog made Romon furious.

The original plan to retreat immediately disappeared completely.

This place is close to the edge of the factory. After suffering such a big loss, he walked away in despair. He couldn’t take this breath!

The strength of this male merfolk is obviously not as powerful as that of the strange female merfolk, it is possible to fight.

Thinking about this.

Romon swept through the fog, throwing two scorching sun talismans from his hands, exploding in front of him like bombs. The merfolk easily avoided the explosion area, and in this thick fog, their bodies were extremely flexible, like swimming fish in the water.

It was about to squeeze out another jet of water.

But at this time, Romon stepped on his legs, directly using the recoil, he flew out like a butterfly, and quickly pulled in the distance between the two.

The opponent is good at ranged attacks.

You have to get closer to get the upper hand. Drag the opponent into familiar territory and defeat it with rich experience! This is called attacking the short with the long.

Knight Six Skills, Wind Tread!

Romon’s speed suddenly skyrocketed, and in just a blink of an eye, he was in front of the merfolk, and his fists were strikes straight ahead. A look of shock flashed in merfolk’s eyes, and the scales all over his body suddenly rattled, forming a layer of water-scale-colored waves around his body.

Romon punched up, and it seemed like he had hit the smooth skin of the fish, and most of his strength was removed.

This unloading technique is somewhat similar to his cut-off water!

Romon’s eyes showed a look of joy, and he used his strength to attack the merfolk with punch after punch.

After the merfolk exchanged hands with him a few times, there was a sound of bone cracking in his right arm.

It looked suspiciously towards Romon, took a few steps back, and the whole face was full of doubts about life. Human fleshy body is far weaker than Sharkmen Race. Merfolk lives in the sea all year round. If the skin on the body is not hard and the muscle strength is not strong, how can it resist the pressure of deep sea water.

So they generally have an overwhelming advantage in melee combat with humans.

This is the first time it has been beaten to pieces by a human!

This human, something is wrong!

It quickly backed away, then opened its mouth and spit out a lot of disgusting mussels. These mussels fell on the ground and directly opened the two scallops, and then shot out water blue light.

Although Romon tried his best to dodge, he was still scratched with several wounds.

After the mussels spewed out the water column, they began to grow again, and the hands and feet composed of mussels grew from the scallops, turning into mussels similar to Shiba Inu.

What kind of salamander becomes a soldier?

Romon opened his eyes again to the methods of these strange guys, but he had no plans to back down when faced with the rushing clam shell man.

These guys look scary and call it very difficult to deal with.

But fight.

Anyone who has more people is not more powerful.

Romon turned on the fat-burning state, and the inch kills kept blasting, each punch blasted a large group of blood light in the air, and the toxin hidden in the psionic energy was blasted away by the huge impact, which blasted these The mussels were killed one after another.

A blast of wind and rain swept through.

After the battle.

The white fog that permeated all around was dyed into purple black by the toxins that Romon smeared and killed.

He was dressed in rock snake scale armor, walking through the purple black mist, all the mussels had turned into corpses, but since Romon fully developed his physical strength, the merfolk disappeared.

Seeing that the situation is not good, the other party hides directly!

Romon glanced all around with Spirit Vision, but because of the blocking of white fog, Spirit Vision also lost its function.

Spirit Vision loses its effect once blocked by an obstacle. Spirit Vision is not see-through and cannot pass through walls, and these mists are the effect of walls at this time.

“In this way, the scarlet vision of the python must be turned on.”

Romon’s eyes gradually became covered with blood, and the next second, the environment of this all around suddenly changed. clear.

The merfolk was moving wildly in the fog, and the direction was where the female merfolk was.

Of course Romon couldn’t make it happen.

The wind tread was used, Romon was chasing wildly in the fog, and merfolk secretly showed a look of surprise, turned around and rubbed several large water arrows from the fog.

“fuck off!”

Romon smashed these water arrows away with two fists, stretched out his big hand, and under the acceleration of the wind tread, he came to the opponent in an instant, followed by Punch down.

The merfolk tried to make a last-ditch effort, but all means were shattered by sheer force.

After this fist went down, the merfolk was directly blown open.

In the depths of the fog, suddenly there was a cry of extreme sadness and anger.

Although Romon doesn’t know the relationship between the male shark and the female shark, he can vaguely guess that two merfolks, a male and a female, can be normal friends? How can there be pure friendship between men and women!

So knowing that this place is dangerous and may be sought revenge by the terrifying female merfolk at any time, Romon can only pick up the pocket on the merfolk’s corpse and quickly leave the fog-covered area.
