"You're right, it's related to the extinct Mayans."

Thumbs up to Stark, Shi Xiaolei continued: "Isn't there still people discussing how the Mayan civilization was destroyed? Some people say that the Spanish massacre caused the demise of the Mayan civilization. Others say that the Mayan civilization was mainly destroyed. The reason lies in the various viruses brought by the Spaniards. It is because the Mayans living in Central and South America have never encountered those viruses, and they have no antibodies and genes to resist the viruses in their bodies, so they were brought by the Spaniards. The virus took away in waves, leaving behind the historical puzzle of 'disappearing overnight'."

Knowing that Shi Xiaolei had something to say, Stark just nodded and did not interrupt his narration.

"Actually, the Mayans were not completely extinct. To this day, there are still a group of descendants of the Mayans living in the depths of the sea." Looking at Stark and then at Skye, Shi Xiaolei's mouth slightly curled up, very sure He continued: "Yes, they all live in the sea, and their bodies have also mutated, and they are no longer ordinary humans."

"Mermaid?" Skye couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"If you're referring to the legend that the upper body is like a human being, but the lower body is a fish tail..." Shi Xiaolei shook his head with a smile: "Unfortunately, the changes that appear on them are not as great as you imagined. .”

"Well... then what did they look like?" After thinking for a while, Skye continued to ask: "Like me, the appearance is no different from ordinary people, is it just that they have superpowers?"

"From a certain point of view, what you said is not wrong." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "They all have the ability to breathe underwater. Compared with ordinary people, this can also be regarded as a special ability."

"If you guessed right, they can only breathe in water, and they can't breathe air directly like ordinary people, right?" Although the sentence pattern is interrogative, Stark's tone is full of certainty.

"How did you guess that?" Thinking 'I haven't said it yet', Shi Xiaolei looked at Stark in surprise.

"The reason is very simple. If they can breathe on land, there is no need to hide in the depths of the sea." Stark spread his hands and shrugged: "No matter how good an ordinary person is at swimming, it will not be theirs." Opponents. After all, they have become like amphibians, and they are born to be much stronger than ordinary people. With this ability, they can not only protect themselves well, but also live more nourishingly than ordinary people. Come on, why do they have to hide in the depths of the sea instead of waiting for the more comfortable land?"

Having said that, Stark raised his finger and pointed at Skye: "There are many ready-made examples among the Inhumans. I am referring to those who awaken their abilities on their own, and then pretend to be ordinary people and live in society. Very good people. If it is not psychologically tortured by loneliness and wants to be with compatriots who are in similar situations... To be honest, I don't think they will actively join the afterlife. And from their previous life experience Look, they don't have to join the afterlife to be human, do they?"

Following Stark's words, he pondered for a while.

"Indeed." Nodded first, then Shi Xiaolei said with a smile: "You are right, not being able to live on land like before the mutation is the key reason for them to hide in the depths of the sea. Besides, they The skin color of the person has changed, which will appear very conspicuous to ordinary people, and it is also one of the decisive factors."

"The skin color has changed?" Smacking his lips, Stark laughed twice: "Well, this is a bit unexpected. To be honest, I really didn't expect it."

"Except for the leader with the most special destiny, the complexion of everyone else has turned light blue." While speaking, he glanced left and right. When he found a reference object of similar color, Shi Xiaolei raised his hand and pointed: "Here, it's similar to the cover of that book, and it should be one or two shades darker."

Turning his head and glanced, Stark had a more intuitive image in his mind.

"And then?" Wanting to know more, Stark asked again: "Are there any other differences? By the way, what you just said was 'except for their leaders', that is to say, their leaders Didn't the leader turn into a little blue man?"

"Yes." Nodding, Shi Xiaolei continued: "I don't know exactly what's going on. However, I can probably guess some things by going back based on the known clues. If I didn't guess wrong, he So it is different, it should be because he did not directly drink the herbal medicine that induces mutation."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"At the beginning, it seemed that his mother was infected with the virus when she was pregnant with him, and then in order to cure her illness and let him be born smoothly, his mother drank the herbal medicine." Shi Xiaolei said in an uncertain tone while reviewing the previous film review video.

"And then?" Because Shi Xiaolei's speech speed also slowed down, the impetuous Skye couldn't help asking again.

"Then? Then his mother mutated." Looking at Skye, Shi Xiaolei smiled: "At that time, they were on the verge of extinction. For the Mayans in that situation, the mutation that happened to his mother It is almost equivalent to the last straw. Then, in order to avoid the killing of the Spaniards, the remaining people all took that herbal medicine, abandoned their original homeland, and dived into the sea together."

"So that's how it is." Stark took up the conversation again, and confirmed to Shi Xiaolei: "Everyone drank it directly~lightnovelpub.net~ Only he was indirectly affected by the herbal medicine. Uh... no wonder The changes on his body are smaller than others, and his skin color can still remain the same as normal people."

"The change in skin color is not as good as other people." Hearing this, Shi Xiaolei immediately clarified: "In other aspects of change, he far exceeds other people. I mean the one who directly took the herbal medicine. Everyone."

"Um?"

"The strength is much greater than that of other people. A pair of small wings grow on the ankles of both feet. Although it is only the size of a palm, he can flap these two pairs of wings to fly himself. In addition, his lifespan It's also much longer than other people." Speaking of this, Shi Xiaolei made another special point: "Don't forget, when his mother gave birth to him, the virus brought by the Spaniards was still raging everywhere. Since then He has lived for a while until now, and he is already over five hundred years old. However, the other clansmen living with him have been passed down for several generations, and they are no longer the group that fled into the sea with his mother. people."

"More than five hundred years old..." After realizing it, Stark couldn't help but smacked his lips again: "Just this number is already starting to give me a headache."
