Chapter 1306 Mermaid, Human?

After a while, the mermaid emerged from the lake, with only the top of her chest exposed. Her huge tail swayed in the water to maintain balance.

"Why are you back again?" Li Xuehao looked at her with interest.

The mermaid was five or six meters away from the shore, her expression still looked cautious, and she was probably wary of him. She looked at him with a trace of doubt in her eyes: "Who are you?"

"Want to know my name?" Li Xuehao smiled, and seeing her cautious look, he also became playful, "Unfortunately, I won't tell you."

The mermaid puffed up her cheeks and stared at him, seemingly a little angry, but her delicate face became even cuter.

Li Xuehao said nothing and took out the fish scale with writing on it.

Seeing the scales on his hands, the mermaid's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Mine!" In excitement, she almost swam to the shore and snatched the scales away. But thinking of the terror of the humans on the shore, I didn’t dare to go there after all.

Li Xuehao smiled and threw the scales back to her. They had already been peeled off, so what's the use of taking them back?

However, to his surprise, the mermaid received the scales and actually attached the fish scales to one of the missing scales in the middle of her tail. She pressed it with her hand and actually reattached it.

She flicked her tail to make sure the fish scales would not fall off, then nodded with satisfaction.

Li Xuehao found it very magical. Mermaids are indeed different from humans. The scales they peel off can grow back on their bodies. It is almost as magical as a human being can grow back after losing some parts.

"Thank you." After the mermaid flicked her tail, she thanked the human on the shore. No matter the look in her eyes or on her face, there was no such caution and alertness anymore, because she finally knew that this human was here to save her. He I met the scales that I threw out for help, so I came to rescue myself. Just like the description in human books, he is a prince who comes to rescue himself, a princess in trouble.

"Can I ask you a question?" Li Xuehao heard her thank you and finally felt some comfort. It was much better than leaving nothing behind after she ran away.

"Yeah." The mermaid nodded. She swam a little further to the shore, about three or four meters, and stopped again, because there was not only the prince on the shore, but also a terrifying and huge monster. She Still a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you." Li Xuehao knew what she was worried about and patted the body of the giant eel next to him.

The giant eel nodded in cooperation, indicating that he would not hurt anyone.

"Does it understand?" The mermaid looked at the giant eel curiously, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared. Can this sea beast actually understand human speech?

"Yes, it can understand what we are saying." Li Xuehao said with certainty. The mermaid seemed to be unable to finish a sentence coherently, and was very concise every time.

There was surprise in the mermaid's eyes. The giant beast that could communicate seemed very magical to her. At the same time, her fear gradually disappeared. She swam a little closer, about two meters away, and stared at the prince who had saved her: "Ask .”

After being reminded by her, Li Xuehao thought of the question he wanted to ask her earlier: "I want to know, are there... many people like you? Do you have other tribesmen?"

The mermaid looked at him, frowned, shook her head first, and then nodded, not knowing what she meant.

Li Xuehao also couldn't understand. If there were many clan members who could just nod their heads, why would they shake their heads again? Are there many similar people, or is it just her?

"I am one." The mermaid seemed to realize his doubts and pointed to herself.

"Are you the only one? Do you have no clansmen?" Li Xuehao asked suspiciously, how was she born if she had no clansmen parents? It can’t be that you were born with it, right?

"Born, one." The mermaid pointed at herself and made a "1" gesture.

"Do you mean that you have been alone since you were born?" Li Xuehao guessed what she meant.

The mermaid nodded: "Yeah."

"What about your parents?" Li Xuehao continued to ask.

The mermaid looked confused and shook her head: "I don't know."

Don’t know? In other words, you haven’t seen your parents since birth? I don’t know how it came about? It was hard for Li Xuehao to imagine how she survived in this vast sea. She must have been extremely weak when she was born. Any sea creature larger than her might be her natural enemy, yet she could survive.

"Why can you understand what we say and still speak?" Li Xuehao asked again. In fact, he could roughly guess this question. He estimated that mermaids have some way to contact some human civilization.

"..." When asked about this, the mermaid seemed hesitant. It was probably her secret. However, thinking that the human in front of her was the prince who came to rescue her after encountering her scales, she quickly made a decision.

She swung her huge fish tail and swam to the shore. She held her hands on the grass on the shore and raised the fish's tail out of the water.

A burst of beautiful "singing" came out of her mouth. As the "singing" sounded, the originally huge fish tail gradually transformed into a pair of human legs.

Her fair and slender legs were not wearing any clothes, and her crystal clear skin was like white jade. She seemed to be shy and curled up her legs to cover her most private parts.

Li Xuehao couldn't help but his eyes widened. This was another thing that shocked him. The mermaid would actually lose its tail and become a real human being! This is incredible!

Of course, this also explains why she can speak Japanese, because she can become a human and come into contact with humans, but she probably doesn't dare to have in-depth contact, so she only understands some superficial knowledge, and at the same time she is wary of humans.

Naturally, the legs of a mermaid that turned into a human could not be as long or as big as a fish's tail. According to Li Xuehao's estimation, her length when turned into a human was only 1.8 meters, which was similar to his height.

This seemed to be her innate ability, because during the process of the fish tail transforming into human legs, Li Xuehao did not sense the aura acting on it, it was just an instinct of hers.

The giant eel on the side was also shocked. In addition to shock, its black and white eyes seemed to have deep envy. It was probably also amazed at this ability. Can a fish actually turn into a human? Why doesn't it have this ability?

After the mermaid turned the fish tail into human legs, she swung it a few times and splashed some water. She seemed to enjoy turning into legs.

Li Xuehao watched quietly from the side. It seemed magical to him that the mermaid would turn into a real person. This was not a "transformation" that had been practiced to a certain extent, but was born this way. I don't know how much more convenient it is than those creatures who need intensive cultivation. Take the giant eel as an example. It has to cultivate to the point of transformation. Unless it can grow into a real dragon, it can only become a giant beast in the sea.
