"How many people will there be in your small town?" Asked the Mermaid Girl in surprise. Forty thousand is really a lot in her mind. She still remembers one time when the mermaid held a sacrifice ceremony for the whole family. The scene was very lively and full of people.
However, in Leyi's opinion, the figure of 40000 is actually rare, and the word "endangered species" is almost used. Therefore, she wanted to know how many people there would be in the town that is 1000 times and 10000 times smaller than heishuiyu in Leyi's hometown.
Yue Yi thought for a moment and said, "there are probably hundreds of thousands of them at least. There are millions of them in larger towns."
"... so much?" The mermaid girl opened her mouth wide and couldn't believe it.
"Yes, our whole country has a population of 1.4 billion. Our country is much smaller than the black waters. The total population is 1.4 billion. So, you can count how many times as many as you."
"This..." Mermaid Girl has been scared by this number, such a huge number, human is really terrible.
It is mentioned in an old legend that the reproduction ability of the human race is probably the strongest among all the races.
Many races in dize had thought that the protoss wanted to suppress the Terrans. Why not eradicate all the Terrans and kill them all? This idea is a common idea of common people, but when they really understand the reproductive power of the human race, they will know that it is impossible to eradicate them all and kill them all.
Because the human race is all over the universe, including the earth world, the other middle thousand world, the other small thousand world and the dust world. Can this be extinct?
Moreover, it seems that the protoss got a prophecy at the beginning, so it can't suppress the Terran too strongly. If the suppression is too strong, it may be rebounded by the Terran in the future. Therefore, the attitude of the protoss towards the human race has always been enslaved. It doesn't mean that people can't be killed. It's just a slow and gentle way to reduce the number of Terrans.
Thousands of years ago, mermaids never left the black waters and knew little about the outside world. So, in the Mermaid Girl's impression, she thought that the Terran should not have too many. At most, she is between Bo Zhong and mermaid, but when she heard Le Yi say that there are 1.4 billion people in his hometown, she was shocked.
What's the number? 1.4 billion. How terrible! It's an amazing amount.
"The black water area is so wide, almost full of your habitat, and you have developed for so many years, why is the population still so small?" Yue Yi asked.
"This... At that time, we Mermaid people were captured by other races as ornaments. A large number of people were captured, and then there were not many people left. In addition, later... The dead ship incident, so although the population has been increasing, it has been increasing very slowly." Said the Mermaid Girl.
"Dead ship? Speaking of the dead ship, I'm curious. It seems that the dead ship is aimed at foreigners, not at you mermaids, right? Why is that? " Yue Yi asked, this question has puzzled him for a long time. When he was saved by Ling Yan, it was because Ling Yan gave him her place Qiong, which made him have a little bit of mermaid breath. And then the necromancer ship stopped locking him.
At that time, he wondered why the dead ship was not aimed at the mermaid. Was this a special relationship with the mermaid?
"Yes, the dead ship was invited out by the high priest of the mermaid clan."
"What? The dead ship was invited out by the high priest of the mermaid clan? "
"The dead ship was invited out of the abyss at the cost of ninety-nine boys and girls a year."
"So many boys and girls? Why? "
"There's nothing we can do about it. At that time, all ethnic groups were arresting our people. At that time, almost all the black waters were filled with people of other ethnic groups searching for us. The number of our people is decreasing day by day, and the rest of us can only hide in the deep sea. In the end, there is nothing we can do. The high priest invited the dead ship out of the deep sea, paid a great price, and drove away those who searched for us. Although this cost is very high, it has also brought peace to the black water area. At least since then, no one from other ethnic groups has come to the black water area. "
"I see." Only then did Le Yi understand that there was such a reason for the appearance of the dead ship. The dead ship came from the abyss of the deep sea and was invited out by the high priest of the mermaid clan. The price is to contribute 99 boys and girls every year.
"You... Then your sister..." Yue Yi suddenly remembered that Mermaid girl had mentioned her sister several times, saying that her sister's death seemed to be related to the abyss of the deep sea, but she didn't say it several times.
"Well!" The girl took a deep look at Leyi. Since Leyi had guessed it, she had nothing to hide, and she also had a lot of resentment about it in her heart. "My sister was the chosen virgin. She... She... Never came back after that."
"Selected? How did you choose it? "
"It was chosen by sacrifice and decided by drawing lots. My father drew lots himself. Originally... Should have been mine, when I was too young, my sister could not bear to, she replaced me. As long as she is not married, she is also a virgin, so my sister gave me this life. But after that, I will take her place and marry the man who should have belonged to her husband. "
"You have to pay such a high price to get out of the dead ship. The ship is not a serious thing at all, but an evil thing. But after all these years, why don't you send it back? "
According to reason, the dead ship was invited out by the high priest of mermaid clan. After so many years, it should be able to be sent back.
Over the years, other races have been scared out of their wits and dare not come at all. The Mermaids can also send back the dead ship first. As long as it's sent back, won't it save the boy and girl every year?
With the tribute of boy and girl, it will cast a shadow on every family. When everyone thinks that their children will be sent as tribute, who is willing to give birth?
In this way, the number of mermaids naturally increases very slowly!
"It's easy to ask God to send God, but it's hard to send him back. The high priest wants to send the dead ship back, but he can't. When it comes out, it won't go back. It's really an evil ship, but because it has a contract with us mermaids, it won't hurt our mermaids. That's why I can save you. "
"So the abyss of the deep sea is the source of all evil, and it's more terrifying than the dead ship, isn't it?"
"Well!" Mermaid Girl suddenly stopped, then looked at Leyi seriously and said, "if you regret now, you can leave. I don't blame you. After all, going to the abyss of the deep sea is a matter of death. I don't want you to make fun of your own life, because I saved your life. "
"Do you think I'll regret it?" Yue Yi smiles, "I'm just worried about you. You go with me. If it's really dangerous, if I don't care about you, it's not good."
"It's in the sea. If it's really dangerous, it's also dangerous for you. I won't be in danger." Mermaid Girl said with a smile.
"OK, this time I will pick back the blue eye pearl fruit and let you marry well."
"It's a deal."
While they were talking, they came to a trench. It was a very wide gully. There was a silver liquid flowing in the gully, just like mercury. The liquid is heavier than the sea water. It flows in the trench and looks like a river in the sea.
"Is this what you call a trench?"
"Well."
"What's flowing in here?"
"This is Jiuyin weak water. It's very poisonous. It's a good time. If it's zero, the Jiuyin weak water will be at high tide. At that time, this sea area will be full of poison. We can't think of the past. Now let's get there first. " Mermaid Girl said, quickly floating from the trench above.
The trench is tens of thousands of meters wide. When the tide is high, the Jiuyin weak water will expand and the poisonous gas will transpiration up. At that time, it is not easy to sweep over it.
"Nine Yin weak water?" But Yue Yi feels fresh. He comes to the trench, reaches out his hand, and grabs some of the nine Yin weak water.
But he felt a sharp pain in his palm. When he drew back his hand, he found that his whole hand was peeling, and some fingers even showed their bones.
"This... This water... Is so terrible!"
Leyi uses his right hand, which is maintained by the blood of the Protoss. It can be said that the constitution of the right hand is the same as that of the protoss, which is very strong. But Rao is so, this right hand is like a popsicle, dropped into the boiling water, almost immediately can melt.
Mermaid Girl accidentally turned back, screamed, and then scolded: "are you crazy? Do you want to touch the nine Yin weak water
Yue Yi shakes his hand and diffuses it with great spiritual power and flesh essence. With the recovery of Jiaolong method, his right hand is rapidly recovering: "it's OK. I'm just trying its toxicity."
