For some reason, when Tang Xiaomi met the mermaid's gaze, he couldn't help but wince.

His stomach felt a little heavy, as if it was indigestion, and the scales on his tail opened slightly. This is actually a biological instinctive reaction when encountering a predator, running away, avoiding or doing something else to avoid danger-the ancient genes left in his body are ready, but... Tang Xiaomi’s sanity But he couldn't get the danger signal from the body itself.

Having lived with humans for so long, modern mermaids like Tang Xiaomi have never hunted themselves when they are in the Danshui area. They can use various tools as skillfully as real humans and enjoy the modern life. The convenience and abundant supplies. Before they knew it themselves, their ability to predict danger had become very dull.

This is why Tang Xiaomi felt only slightly uncomfortable in front of the huge mermaid, while all the other saltwater marine creatures in the same sea area fled like a bereaved dog at the moment when the opponent appeared. Some hid their bodies in the crevices of corals, and some stuffed their entire fish into the bottom of the seabed and did not dare to move. Even the two megalodon sharks that had shocked Tang Xiaomi before, swayed their huge bodies in the blink of an eye, and avoided them, hoping that "that mermaid" would not notice them...

In short, in this short instant, with Tang Xiaomi and the stranger fish as the center, the surrounding sea area of ​​one kilometer instantly became empty.

It was so quiet as if it were in a vacuum.

Alfred—

This is the name of the stranger fish.

He is a... Titan mermaid.

This is the largest and most ferocious carnivorous mermaid of all known mermaid species, with a maximum body length of up to eight meters-hundreds of millions of years ago, their huge size, amazing speed, and powerful attack ability And the extremely sensitive precursor makes the Titan Mermaid the top of the food chain in the ancient ocean.

If they want, any kind of marine life in the entire ocean is their food.

At the time, the dangerous ocean environment was an unlimited buffet for the Titans, which allowed them to build other things, such as civilization. The Titan mermaid built the first and most fundamental mermaid civilization.

They created the glorious ancient Atlantis culture deep in the ocean, and the image of Poseidon worshipped by modern mermaids is actually based on the Titan mermaid.

It can be said that they are the most noble and ancient species in the entire ocean.

However, although the tooth-like bone scales on the Titan Mermaid provide them with extremely strong defensive capabilities and offensive capabilities, they cannot fully reach their tails.

Among modern mermaids, even the largest white fish (a large mermaid living near the Arctic Ocean, they have evolved a huge body with a very thick fat layer in order to resist the severe cold) can easily coil their tails.

This does not seem to mean anything, but in a biological sense, this is a huge improvement.

Coiling the tail means that the merfolk can easily arrange their scales and fins. Some seaweeds and a piece of coral stone can make the fish's scales get rid of the excess cuticle and become harder and sharper, and the tiny parasites in the crevices of the scales will also be cleaned up the fastest. This guarantees the health of the fish to a great extent.

However, for the Titan Mermaid, things are by no means so easy.

Their bony scales are thick and hard, and they are very easy to attach to various crustaceans and seaweeds. The gaps between the scales and scales are large, allowing parasites and water lice to easily invade the inside of the scales. The ocean 70 million years ago became warmer and more comfortable than before, and more micro-aquatic creatures appeared—and they directly and fatally affected the Titan Mermaid.

Studies have shown that a large number of Titan merfolk died due to parasite infections at that time-and the remaining ones evolved and gradually became the modern merfolk as we know them.

The Titan mermaid is considered by scholars to be completely extinct.

It was not until more than a hundred years ago that a scientific expedition of the saltwater mermaid encountered a rare and terrifying "monster" attack in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench. A miracle that shocked the scientific community was exposed because of this-at the bottom of the Fichaz Depth, an ancient kingdom composed of Titan Mermaid, "Daxi", still retains its vitality and vitality.

The contact with the Titans has been slow and difficult, but after so many years of exploration, there has been considerable progress.

Thirty years ago, the King of the Western Kingdom married His Royal Highness Corinna, one of the members of the science team, as the queen.

Brand new blood has been injected into this unusually ancient tribe. From that time on, the royal family of the Great Western Kingdom will send young members to the "upper world" to learn and communicate every once in a while. Alfred is the prince who is visiting this time, and at the same time, he is also the youngest and most beloved prince of His Highness Corlena.

Although under the guidance of His Royal Highness Corinna, as the prince of the Titan Mermaid, it took Alfred a long time to adapt to the life of "not foraging casually" in the shallow waters... But this did not prevent him from appearing in front of his eyes. All creatures undergo a basic assessment before eating.

(According to scientific research, in the early stage of the initial migration to the Mariana Trench, the area where the Titans live is scarce, which means that in order to survive, they must catch what to eat, and this habit is very stubborn in every generation of Titans. Passed down in his body—and successfully made this huge mermaid the biggest nightmare of the entire Atlantis jurisdiction—they ate everything!! After paying the lives of three governors, The residents of Atlantis brackish waters feel the horror from the Titan mermaid more deeply than ever before)

The mermaid in front of Alfred was very petite.

The amount of fat is very small.

The muscle mass is also very small.

It doesn't look threatening, but with his hunting instinct for many years, Alfred only needs to look at him to know that this mermaid must have many spines.

And it must still be the kind of fine thorns—the kind that His Royal Highness hates most.

In summary, it is completely unsuitable for food.

…

Alfred made a series of detailed assessments of Tang Xiaomi in his head without expression, and then took a step forward with lack of interest.

According to the practice for so many years, during the short step that he approached, any creature in front of him should recover from extreme panic, and then quickly escape (yes, Alfred will be dumbfounded) Tang Xiaomi's considered an idiot whose brain was so blank because of fear that he couldn't move).

But to his surprise, the other party didn't even run away.

Moreover, he also leaned towards Alfred.

…

Minato...

pass…

Come…

Come here.

Come together? Over? Come? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Wait a minute, what's going on?

Have never encountered such a thing? !

Majesty, please tell me how to deal with this situation

what happened? ! !

Why is there a fish coming towards him ah ah ah ah? ? ? ! !

…

…

…

Alfred's tail, full of seaweed and attachments, stiffened for an instant.

Because of the tight muscles, some hermit crabs that ate on the seaweed grumbled somersaults and rolled all the way from his buttocks to the tip of their tails. Then they locked their bodies in their shells in horror and did not dare to move.

A few anemones changed their colors in an instant, and then curled up.

…

What happened on Alfred’s tail made him look more like some huge reef on the sea floor than a living creature...

The only good news is that, because of the fame of the Titan Mermaid, the other creatures in this area are all run away because of fear. At all, no one will notice that His Highness Alfred’s brain is blank because of chaos for the only time in so many years, and finally changed. It looks stiff.

There has never been a mermaid, no, there has never been a living creature that dared to approach a titan mermaid (of course, the hermit crabs, sea anemones, corals and barnacles on his scales...not counting, they live in a place where the titan mermaid is enough The invisible tail is the only place in the world that the Titans cannot reach, and it is also the safest place.)

Even his mother, the great Highness Kolena, dare not: she always takes many steps back in silence after seeing the tails of the Titan mermaids that breed an entire micro-ecosystem.

In other words.

No mermaid will be close to the Titan mermaid—for Alfred, it has always been the objective law that composes his worldview.

But at this moment, this law is turned into powder like a coral reef being sprayed by underwater springs.

The little mermaid leaned in front of him, and then stretched out a soft, white hand.

"My name is Tang Xiaomi! Sorry, I ran into you just now, so I'm so sorry."

He raised his face and said softly to Alfred, and finally, he added a smile.

…

…

…

"Crack—"

The hard roots of the barnacle that had been attached to Alfred's tail for several years cracked in an instant.

Even the prince didn’t notice it. The moment he saw that smile, his tail started to sway quickly as if he had his own life, shaking off countless seaweeds and alien creatures—successfully It caused a devastating blow to the ecosystem on his tail.

Then…

Then there is no more.

"..."

Because of the blank brain, Alfred's body moved on its own and responded according to the usual practice for many years.

He remained silent like that, with sharp eyes (dai) and sharp (zhi) crossing Tang Xiaomi, and swimming all the way towards the school gate.

Only the various attachments that fell all the way to some extent leaked his mood-of course, Tang Xiaomi couldn't see it at all.

In fact, from Tang Xiaomi’s point of view...

The whole incident can be summed up in one sentence: He met a super rude classmate today! ! !

Tang Xiaomi retracted his hand in amazement.

He doesn't mind that the mermaid doesn't shake hands with him (probably the mermaid in the salt water area is not popular), but after he has sincerely apologized, the mermaid actually used that kind of mockery (not!) Contemptuously (really not!) glanced at him from top to bottom.

Tang Xiaomi felt that he could almost see the barrage of the heart floating across the face of that mermaid—【You stupid civilian dare to appear in front of this uncle? ! 】

Tang Xiaomi swears that he just touched him lightly, why did that guy act as if he was touched by something dirty...

"But it's just a little older, so is it interesting to pull?!"

After being shaken face to face, Tang Xiaomi felt that his face was going to be feverish, so he pouted and murmured.

God knows what he would think if someone else saw this scene, **** it, shameful...

Tang Xiaomi raised her head and looked around, only then suddenly felt something wrong.

Why is it so empty around him?

After the weird mermaid left, the entire sea area was as silent as a cemetery, let alone fish, even the sea anemones were dying and pretending to be dead.

As for Kraken... Tang Xiaomi looked for three laps in the same place, but couldn't find him.

In the end, he had no choice but to walk towards the school gate alone.

Well, even the two megalodons that scared him to death before have disappeared...

This is also a good thing!

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaomi, who was originally depressed, became happy again.
