Chapter 1019 The Hybrid

The road is very slippery, the footsteps splash mud from time to time, and there is usually mist in the evening after the rain.

In the distance, the mountains, forests, and the end of the road are all wrapped in thin smoke, and at the same time, several bells are heard from a distant village.

"This group of evil god believers will perform routine sacrifices every morning and evening." The little mouse introduced.

Among the group, she was the only one who knew something about the city and had some dealings with the locals.

"How is the fighting power?"

"It's bad. At least ordinary believers are no different from ordinary people. Some old and weak people can't even beat him."

Fenzhuo pointed at Yang Kai, which made the person concerned a little embarrassed, and he became the representative of the weak chicken.

However, he was powerless to refute.

You know, even if you become a little mouse, the magician is still a magician, and the strength and speed of the soul have not been weakened.

And Lu Li stepped on it casually, and the ground split open.

soil?

There is no coffin inside, which can prove that they have indeed returned to ancient times, and it also reflects a good news from the side:

The weirdness didn't come completely.

"Let's go, don't be too nervous later, those islanders won't use men as sacrifices."

Looking at Miss Mia, Lu Li added, "If the worst happens, I will protect you."

Although she was regarded as someone who needed to be taken care of, Mia was not disgusted and nodded seriously.

"Our Cthulhu in the sea, may your name be exalted, may your kingdom come..."

In the temple, an elder-like guy was reciting prayers, with countless believers kneeling behind him.

These believers deeply believe that Cthulhu and his compatriots will descend from the stars. When the ancient city rises in the waves, they will go together to open the huge stone gate with Cthulhu sleeping behind it, and the gods will wake up at that time. , and re-dominate the world.

"The view is not bad."

Looking at it from the perspective of a newcomer, Lu Li felt that this ancient city had a sense of paradise.

In the periphery, salt pans are scattered.

Various fruit trees are staggered.

At the end of the line of sight, a rather prosperous street appeared.

Apparently not all the inhabitants made it to the central shrine, where a group of normal-looking islanders were conversing in an ancient language.

"Spider crab legs, one coin!"

"Oysters, five for one coin!"

Yang Kai was like a deaf man, he only saw the lips of this group of people moving, he couldn't understand at all, let alone hear the sound.

Could it be that they are using infrasound waves to communicate?

At first, the little mouse wanted to translate the language to Lu Li. After all, this island was developed by a group of civilizations independent of other races. She learned it for nearly two months before.

However, Lu Li directly asked, "What is currency? Gold?"

"No, shells." The little mouse was stunned for a moment, and she explained to the knowledgeable Lu Li: "It is true that gold is sought after by the people of the islands, but it is too precious, a kind of shells with natural patterns are the ones here. common currency."

"Where did you get it?"

"When the tide is low, go to the beach to pick it up. There is one shell in a hundred. If you are lucky, you can collect thirty or fifty shells every day."

"Okay, I will exchange it for gold later."

Hearing this, the little mouse raised its head, as if asking again:

You have gold, why do you ask shells?

"Coming."

Lu Li looked to the side: "I'll listen to everything, no matter how many questions you have, don't say it."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is best to avoid fighting."

Pies, seafood.

There are various stalls scattered on the street, and you can even see a lumpy rhizome with a very high starch content being charcoal roasted, the size of a potato.

Obviously, there are a lot of residents here, let alone 100,000, there must be 40,000 to 50,000, otherwise it would not be possible to extend the business——

Set up a stall.

And judging from their clothes, there must be class divisions, and the inequality between rich and poor.

It is worth mentioning that the people of this archipelago look no different from normal people, there is no gill line on the face, and there is no web between the fingers.

"Hello, can I exchange some currency? I am a former maritime merchant."

Lu Li found a stall with a good business, selling charcoal-roasted plant roots for ten coins for small pieces and twenty coins for large ones.

Perhaps it has something to do with the proximity to the sea, the spider crab legs the size of an adult's arm are not worth much at all, they only sell for one coin, and there are very few people there.

"How much do you want to change?"

A philistine smile immediately appeared on the stall owner's face.

To be honest, Yang Kai thinks that a person who can make such an expression is very reassuring.

At least humanity remains.

"one slice."

As he said that, Lu Li opened the suitcase, not caring at all about not revealing any wealth, he took out a gold brick, and then used the Sadhu sword to cut it into a palm-sized slice that was transparent to visible light.

"Two thousand coins, can you accept it?"

"Sir, I am willing to exchange three thousand coins for you."

Before Lu could open his mouth, there were stall owners grabbing the conversation.

After some negotiations, the gold piece was sold at a high price of 3,500 coins. According to the little mouse, she lived here for about half a year, and only spent less than 1,000 coins.

"May I take a moment of your time, sir, and lady? I would like to introduce you to our Lord, our Heavenly Father, Cthulhu."

A thin man walked over stooped and looked at Lu Li with burning eyes.

This guy is about thirty-five years old, his eyes are earnest, but his face can't express much, and if you only look at the sides of this person's neck, you will find a bunch of deeply sunken wrinkles, which makes people feel I think I overestimated his age earlier.

In the eyes of a thousand people, there are a thousand Hamlets. Yang Kai felt that this man fulfilled all his fantasies about the followers of the evil god of the deep sea:

The head is narrow, and a pair of blue eyes are bulging and protruding, gray and dull;

Flat nose, receding forehead and chin, with a pair of underdeveloped ears;

There was no beard on the face around the thick, long lips, or on the heavily pored, grayish cheeks.

Since he had a mysterious book in his hand, which specifically introduced these existences in detail, Lu Li immediately recognized that they were not human——

mixed race.

That is, the product of the hybridization of deep divers and humans.

Most of the hybrids are born like ordinary humans, but they often experience both psychological and physical changes at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

When people reach middle age, they show obvious deformities, so they choose to retreat to a closed place, and within a few years, they will transform into deep divers and start a new ocean life.

In addition, it is recorded in the book that the awakening of new senses often comes along with the changes in the body, and dreams about underwater cities and the desire to go to the sea often appear.

As fathers, the deep divers will try to bring it to a safe lair so that they can witness the final transformation of the hybrid and ensure that the hybrid adapts to the common heritage of the race:

Faith, eternal life.

Of course, everything is not absolute, and there will be a considerable number of hybrids who cannot complete all transformations and are forced to live as half-human, half-fish, but this gene will always be dormant and re-embody in their offspring.
