Chapter 71

Han Zhan picked up the branches from the ground with a cautious look on his face, broke them off, and added them to the fire, where the flames became more intense.

After all, mermaids are naturally afraid of fire, and even Han Zhan is no exception. He keeps a certain distance from the campfire, as if facing a formidable enemy, and every movement appears to be cautious and serious.

Dongchen looked funny, but also a little distressed.

It's hard to imagine how my brother controlled his inner fear and learned to make a fire these days.

The scorching flames made his legs dry. In the winter morning, he smelled the alluring fragrance, and the surface of the fish was browned. He was about to turn the fish over, when the fire suddenly "popped" and sparks flew everywhere. In the winter morning, he reflexivelyWithdrew his hand.

Han Zhan held his hand and led him away from the bonfire, "Did you hurt your hand?"

Dongchen looked at him with wide eyes, "No, brother, your hand..." At this point, he paused, pursed his lips, and said softly, "It must have been burned by the fire."

"Because a certain little glutton said he wanted to eat grilled fish." Han Zhan lowered his eyes, reflecting the young man's gentle face.

The tips of Dongchen's ears were slightly red, and he muttered in a low voice, "Brother is such a big fool."

As he said that, he took Han Zhan's hand and placed a kiss on his palm.

The boy's movements were very gentle, and as his kiss fell, the hideous blisters on his palms disappeared in an instant.

Han Zhan felt the wet touch on his palm, and his whole body tensed up.

The young man lowered his head, his black hair hanging down, revealing a cold white neck. Looking down, he saw the young man's back was slender, his butterfly bones were fluttering, and finally his eyes fell on the flexible and thin waist.

Dongchen raised his eyes, his dark blue eyes were sparkling, he smiled softly and said: "Okay~"

Han Zhan held his palm in vain, but failed to grasp the young man's fingers.

At this time, a burst of burnt aroma hit my nostrils.

"Oops! It's going to be burnt." Dongchen hurriedly turned around to get the grilled fish on the fire.

Han Zhan held his hand and said, "It's hot." He picked up the tree stick and put it into his hand, "Let it go for a while."

There is no seasoning added to the fish, which retains the original flavor of the meat. The surface is roasted to a crispy brown color and is crispy and attractive.

The grilled fish was still steaming. I puffed up my cheeks and blew a few breaths in the winter morning. The cold and snowy winter soon became less hot.

He opened his mouth and bit into it. The layer of skin was roasted to a crispy texture. It was crispy and very fragrant. Dongchen's eyebrows curled up and he said, "It's delicious."

Dongchen raised the fish in his hand and said, "Brother, you can eat it too."

Han Zhan tilted his head and took a bite at the spot where Dong Chen had bitten.

Dongchen was stunned, "Oh no..." Dongchen originally asked Han Zhan to eat another grilled fish, but who would have thought that the other party actually bit the grilled fish on his hand.

"I'm tired of eating, you can eat." Han Zhan said lightly.

Dongchen immediately understood that his brother had probably eaten a lot of grilled fish in the past few days, so he no longer forced himself to bite it happily.

The fish meat is charred and delicious. I haven’t eaten grilled fish in nearly a year. In winter mornings, I dream about eating grilled fish.

Dongchen couldn't bear to finish it all at once, but it didn't taste good after it cooled down, so he finished the grilled fish before it cooled down.

He walked to the shore, bent down, picked up the sea water, and washed the stains on his hands.After washing his fingers, he turned to look at the island, "Brother, let's go for a walk on the island?"

There was heavy snow on the branches, and a small reptile jumped onto the treetop, and the snow fell down.Dongchen didn't notice and continued to move forward. Han Zhan pulled him and blocked the falling snow for him.

White snowflakes fell on Han Zhan's shoulders, and Dongchen quickly patted the snow off his shoulders.

Dongchen suddenly saw something, and he said in surprise: "Brother, there is a pike crocodile in front of me."

"Huh? What is it?"

Dongchen's eyes were bright and he said uncertainly: "Maybe, probably the ancestor of dinosaurs?"

What are dinosaurs?Han Zhan frowned and thought deeply.

Winter morning walked over quickly, and the little pike crocodile was so frightened that it climbed down from the treetops, burrowed into the snow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There are many conjectures in the biological world about the ancestors of dinosaurs. The most common theory is that the ancestors of dinosaurs were molars.

There is no evidence that Parkersuchus will later evolve into dinosaurs, but some researchers believe that Parkersuchus is the ancestor of dinosaurs.His teacher believed that Parker's crocodile belongs to the alveolar reptiles, and the alveolar reptiles are the ancestors of dinosaurs. The possibility that Parker's crocodile is the ancestor of dinosaurs cannot be ruled out.

It's just that there has been too long a gap between them and the age of dinosaurs. These are just speculations by scholars.

Thinking of this, Dong Chen was shocked, why later humans did not discover the existence of mermaids and orcs.

He suddenly grabbed Han Zhan's arm.

It shouldn't be. Even the fossils of Cambrian anomalocaridids can be found hundreds of millions of years later. Why are mermaids and orcs so lost in the long river of history, without anyone finding any trace of their existence?

Suddenly his brain was tingling. Dongchen pressed his eyebrows and bit his lower lip hard. He seemed to have forgotten something very important. This may be the purpose of his return. What is it?

"Chenchen!" Han Zhan shouted suddenly, pulling Dongchen's thoughts back. His eyes were condensed, staring at Dongchen's lips.

Dongchen subconsciously licked his lips, and the rusty smell of blood came from the tip of his tongue.

Han Zhan raised his hand and gently wiped the blood on his lips. The blood dyed his lips bright red.Han Zhan's dark eyes gradually deepened, and his voice was low, but without any intention of blaming him, "What are you thinking, so careless."

Dongchen didn't notice Han Zhan's eyes becoming deep, and he asked in a daze: "Brother, Luo Xi once said that the Poseidon is dead, right?"

I don’t know why Dongchen is so concerned about this sentence. He once stubbornly believed that the sea god is omnipotent and will not die. Now Dongchen is not sure.

"Poseidon predicts that disasters will occur under the sea in the future, right?" Dong Chen asked again.

Han Zhan looked into Dongchen's eyes and said firmly: "No way."

Dongchen slowly fell into memories.

Why was he unable to break out of his shell in his previous life? He didn't break out until the new era came. By then, there were no more mermaids or orcs, and he was left alone.

Maybe it was because of the disaster.

This beautiful planet has experienced many disasters, large and small. The dinosaurs were extinct due to meteorite impacts. It was not until the mid-19th century that humans discovered the existence of dinosaur fossils.Or maybe the fossils of mermaids and orcs were buried too deep for humans to discover.

Even if the mermaid is the overlord of the sea, it is almost impossible to prevent disaster from happening, except for God.

In order to prevent the disaster from happening, Poseidon sacrificed his divine power to suppress the sea, but Moreau stole his divine power, causing the disaster to occur.

Dongchen frowned in confusion, but he was not the God of the Sea. He didn't know how to return the divine power, or else he should ask Luo Xi.Luo Xi's mother once served the Poseidon, so she should know something about it.

The island was full of snow, and the little animals must have hibernated. There was nothing to see inside, so they returned from the original route.

Since the Cambrian Explosion, this planet has experienced a total of five mass extinction events.

If he guessed correctly, the disaster was caused by a volcanic eruption.

When Dongchen followed his father and others to find the power of Poseidon, they passed through several sea areas because of the eruption of submarine volcanoes.

Next, there will be countless undersea volcanic eruptions, seawater temperatures will rise, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide will increase, oxygen will decrease, and undersea organisms will gradually die...

On the way back, Dongchen remained calm and silent.

At night, Dongchen dreamed about the dream he had had before.

Bright red hot magma spewed out from the volcanic crater deep under the sea. The entire sea area shook violently, the sea water churned, and thick smoke billowed out of the water, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

Mermaids and dragons dyed the entire sea red.

When he woke up, Dongchen had already burst into tears, and he remembered.

In his previous life, he failed to break out of his shell. His father left the sea, his brother became the king, and Yuanxi brother and the others all died in the dragon's belly.

The sea worms that suddenly appeared should be some kind of creatures on the seabed, because the radiation brought by the volcanic eruption caused them to mutate in a short period of time.

Except for the impact of meteorites, biological extinction events are not imminent. Fortunately, he has enough time to prepare.

Han Zhan found that Dongchen had become calmer since returning from the island. He did not ask Dongchen what happened. Every late at night, he went out quietly and searched for fights with sea beasts all over the sea.

Soon half of this winter is over.

In the past two months, Dong Chen had stayed in Haicheng and never went out. Even if Han Zhan wanted to take him out to grill fish, Dong Chenyi refused.He looked at Han Zhan with a faint smile and said he couldn't bear to let his brother get hurt.

Hearing this, Han Zhan, who had a hard heart, couldn't help but feel soft.

When I was bored, I planted sea flowers and fish, and the ice on the ice melted in a blink of an eye.

Toward the end of winter, Sotu comes of age.

That day Sotu and Dongkui went out to catch sea beasts. The sea beasts that had been dormant for several months became particularly ferocious, and Dongkui was scratched on his tail.At the critical moment, Suotu grabbed the sea beast's knife-like ring-shaped spiral teeth and threw it out.

They fought for a whole day, and Sotu was almost unconscious when he came back.

When he wakes up, he becomes an adult.

The fish's tail is longer, its teeth are sharper, and its nails are extremely sharp.

Everyone gathered around Suotu and started chattering.

Suotu is the first mermaid to reach adulthood among the same group of mermaids who broke out of their shells.No one was too surprised, after all, Suotu was also the first mermaid among them to awaken the pattern.

But Dongkui was so envious.

Pulling Sotu along, he kept asking him what it was like to be an adult.

Suotu felt the surging power in his body, and with a flick of his fish tail, he smashed the stone bed into pieces.

Dongkui was dumbfounded.

To describe it specifically, Suotu today can kill ten Dongkui with one punch.

Dongkui glared at her, saying she didn't want to be described like this.

In any case, Suotu's early adulthood aroused the fighting spirit of a group of underage mermaids. Taking advantage of the melting of the ice and snow, they rushed to the Great Trench to practice again.

When the rainy season comes, Yuanxi also comes of age.

Seeing his friends grow up one by one, Dongchen, who was still a minor, finally couldn't calm down anymore.
