How to become a mermaid

Chapter 329 Detective Pochi is investigating...

Shamanleir sent a total of three letters, and received two letters back, and the replies were received almost at the same time.

【son!I have been waiting for your reply for a long time!
I don't intend to leave Pulejen Atoll. Mooni got lost here. I'm going to search around here and maybe I'll find some clues.

As for my safety, you can rest assured that even if I can't fight, I can still run. No fish can catch up to Pochi who is determined to escape, no fish! 】

This is Pochi's reply.

After reading it carefully, Shamanleir sighed softly.

Forget it, let him do what he wants.

The other one was Ole's reply letter. Shamanlell opened it up and found more than one handwriting on it.

【Xiaoyu, I'm fine here. Mr. Leon has always taken care of me and made me live a fulfilling life every day!
I feel that my body is getting stronger little by little, and I have even grown a few meters taller. I don’t know if my body will become as tall as Mr. Leon after the special training is completed (in case I grow taller than him) Gao it shouldn’t be angry, hehe~)
As for Moni's matter, I have already notified Leon as soon as possible. It attaches great importance to this matter and said that it will talk to you in person. 】

The handwriting in the following paragraph is particularly rough, as if scratched out with claws

Apparently, it was written by Leon.

[That kid Mo Ni is really inferior, the dishes are delicious!

A good big living person can still disappear, really throwing a dragon at me!

Tell me where Pochi is, and I'll meet him right away.

When I find Moni, I must take him back to Long Island to practice hard, and I won't let him go until he is peeled off! 】

Seeing that Leon promised to go to Boqi, Shamanlear was relieved.

That's great, if you stay with Leon, Pochi's safety will be much more secure!
As for Moni...

Samantel put his palms together in front of his chest, and whispered in his mouth:

"I've already helped you in this way. If something unexpected happens to you, then I can't help it. Let's get to know each other well. I will burn incense for you every year during the festival!"

"If I forget, don't come and look for me in my dream, just look for Pochi, Amen!"

Before you find it, just press dead and deal with it!

.......................................

Pulece atoll zone.

Pochi grabbed the rope in his hand and tied the letter paper around his hair again.

"I knew my son would help me! Sure enough, the only people in this world who can rely on each other are family members."

"No other fish can be trusted, they are all cheapskates!"

After reading a few words brokenly, Pochi jumped off the reef and swam to the bottom of the sea.

When Mooney just disappeared, he also went to the sea to search for it, but he didn't find any trace of Mooney, only a pile of stones and the bones of countless unknown creatures.

Boqi felt that it was not interesting, so he swam up after a cursory look.

Anyway, there are no clues now, and he is going to search the bottom of the sea seriously to see what new discoveries are made.

"Gulu Gulu..." Bubbles appeared in the sea water.

Pochi wagged his tail and dived continuously.

After swimming to about 800 meters, he reached the end.

"There aren't many fish around, the seaweed doesn't look gorgeous, and the coral doesn't look energetic." Looking at the gray everything around, Pochi muttered to himself.

As early as when he first came here, he discovered that the water in this sea area was not as clear as other places.

Obviously the bottom of the sea is not deep, but the visibility is very low. When looking down from the sea, you can only see a silent black blue color, which looks darker than those seas thousands of meters deep.

Although he discovered this situation, Pochi didn't pay much attention to it at the time. There were too many sea areas with unclear sea water, so it wasn't a big deal.

Now that I think about it, it's still kind of weird.

"A pile of bones... go and have a look." Noticing something ahead, Pochi swam over.

There are quite a few of these bones. Looking forward from where Pochi is now, there are dense bone frames scattered all over the place, extending for hundreds of meters.

They should have been soaking here for some years, and most of them have been eroded by the sea water to a bad shape, only a few big bones can barely see the shape.

"Although skeletons can often be seen in other places, there will not be so many, and they will not be so densely distributed. Judging from the degree of wear and tear of these bones, they seem to be products of the same period."

"That is to say, during a certain period of time, something major happened here, causing tens of thousands of fish to die here."

"Hmm... What is it? War? Massacre? Or something else?" Rubbing his chin, Pochi turned into a detective and began to investigate the case seriously.

He lightly touched one of the bones with his hand. Unexpectedly, due to the age, the bone fell apart under the action of external force, and it became a puddle of mud powder in an instant.

"I can't touch it... It's really troublesome, so I can't guess how they died." Pochi said with some embarrassment.

Finding out the cause of death from the body is troublesome, let alone a pile of untouchable bones.

It is too difficult to directly guess the cause of death of these fish, so Pochi decided to start with the investigation of the species of these fish.

He swam up to a large bone, carefully observing its features.

"The spine is very long, and it can be seen that the bone is a bit black, not white like other fish bones. Judging from these two distinctive features, it should be the bone of a black bone whale!"

"It's not wrong, only the black bone whale's bones are black in this world!"

"This kind of whale is very afraid of cold, and usually only appears in warm waters, but this water is not warm, it is extremely abnormal that it will appear here!"

"And besides this one, there are several other skeletons of black bone whales here, which shows that it is not the only one that is abnormal!"

"More importantly, besides the black bone whale, there are several other types of tropical fish skeletons that do not belong here!"

The more he observes these bones, the more information Pochi gets.

After looking at all the bones on the seabed, he came to a conclusion:
"It's not a war, nor a massacre. These fish were probably attracted by something and ran here spontaneously, or were brought here specially, and then died here!"

The reason for this judgment is that the types of bones here are too complicated. There are more than a dozen types that Pochi can identify, and even more that cannot be identified. Among them, there are even many terrestrial and bird creatures. bone.

Pochi even found a lot of human bones.

There are many types of bones, but the number of each type of bone is not very large.

That is to say, they are not gathered in an organized large scale, but appear here sporadically.

Therefore, Poch ruled out the two factors of war and massacre.

After all, there are at least hundreds of different creatures here, so it can't just be hundreds of races getting together and fighting!
"We have to continue to investigate. This sea area is very large. If you search carefully, you should be able to find more clues."

"I have a hunch that something unusual has happened in this sea area. As long as I figure it out, I shouldn't be far from finding Moni!"

While muttering to himself, Pochi swam forward.

……

While Pochi was conducting field exploration, Leon on Dragon Island was also preparing to set off.

"You stay here to guard the house, and I'll go to Plezen Atoll to assist Pochi." Leon stood in front of Ole and said to it with a serious face.

Hearing that Leon was about to leave him here alone, the tentacles on Ole's body danced, and he said eagerly, "Can't we go together? I want to help Pochi too!"

"No! You stay here!" Leon flicked his tail, rejecting Aore's request without hesitation.

After finally having the opportunity to leave Long Island, it didn't want to take Ao Lei with it.

In these days, Leon has been pestered and fought by Ole every day, but he can't fight to his heart's content every time. As long as he becomes a little angry, Ole will be overwhelmed. He is always beaten out and cannot get up for a long time .

In order not to beat Ole to death, Leon could only restrain himself as much as possible. For a red dragon with a hot temper, it was even more uncomfortable than killing it.

During the days when he was with Ao Lei, Leon felt uncomfortable every day, and the anger accumulated in his body became more and more uncomfortable, as uncomfortable as countless ants crawling on his body.

In order to prevent himself from being bitten to death by the "ants", and to vent the anger accumulated over the past few days, Leon left Ao Lei and set off alone.

"Plop, plop...!" The dark red wings flapped powerfully, bringing up countless gray and black dust on the ground.

"Roar!!" Leon let out a loud roar with his mouth wide open, and kicked his feet into the air from the ground.

It flew high into the sky and shouted to Ole below, "Don't let any creature land on this island while I'm gone!"

"Especially those greedy humans, don't let them take any flint!"

"If you can't do it, go back where you came from!"

After speaking, Leon flapped his wings and flew away quickly like a meteor passing the sky.

Looking at the smaller and smaller red figure in the sky, Ole also fluttered his wings and shouted while jumping: "Mr. Leon, I promise to take good care of my home and not let any creature approach here!"

"Come back soon—!"

"Roar!" There was a deep roar from the sky, and it was unclear whether Leon was responding to Ole, or simply feeling impatient.

Standing alone on the scorched ground, Ole raised his head and kept looking at Leon's back.

"It's flying so high..." it murmured enviously.

"Plop! Plop!" Gusts of wind sounded.

Seeming to be itchy to watch, Ao Lei also flapped his wings.

Countless invisible airflows gathered around it, rolling up the dust in the air to form circles of light gray ripples.

Driven by the wings, Ole's huge body slowly left the ground.

One meter, two meters, three meters...

However, when he flew to a position of 30 meters above the ground, Olei's body suddenly shook violently, and he rolled over and hit the ground hard.

"Bang!!!"

The earth trembled, and several gaps were split in an instant.

This time, it hurt so much.

"Hiss..." Ole breathed heavily, and got up from the ground grinning.

It's not that it can't fly, but its tail hasn't grown properly and it can't maintain balance. Every time it flies a little higher, its body will start to shake, and then fall heavily to the ground.

"Hey... It seems that it still won't work!" Shaking his head in disappointment, Ole limped away from here.

Since the tail won't grow out for a while, it's better to train the body to be stronger first, so that the next time it falls to the ground, it won't hurt so much.

.........

Pochi patrolled the bottom of the sea for almost three hours.

During this period, he discovered several places where skeletons gathered, and they were larger and more messy than the ones he saw for the first time.

Seeing so many skeletons piled on the bottom of the sea made him more convinced of his previous conjecture.

Something really happened here!
Suddenly, after swimming forward for a certain distance, he made a new discovery—a pile of black stones on the bottom of the sea.

Perhaps because of the age, these stones are covered with seaweed, barnacles and other debris, which look a bit mottled.

However, in the exposed part, some cut marks and character-like notches can still be seen.

Obviously, they are not naturally formed reefs, but artificial products.

"Let me see what you wrote on it..." Pochi swam to one of the largest rocks, and scratched the seaweed covering it with his nails.

A knife-cut mural appeared in front of Boqi.

Fumbling with his hands on the stone, Pochi struggled to recognize the contents of the painting.

"This thing has a tail, it should be... a fish?"

"This one has wings, maybe a bird, and here... some land animal..."

"They're all clustered around some...human with a bunch of circles on his head?"

The murals are somewhat abstract, and Pochi can only guess the creatures depicted on them through features such as tails and wings.

"A mural can't explain anything, let's go to other stones to see it. It would be even better if we can find written records!"

Pochi thought for a while, and swam to the other stones.

After a lot of effort, he cleaned up all the rocks on the bottom of the sea, and then piled them together to get a slightly coherent mural.

There are two humanoid creatures standing on the ground looking up at the sky.

One of them seemed to have noticed something, and pointed to the sky.

A huge, irregularly shaped meat ball appeared in the sky.

Several humanoid creatures below looked up at the sky together, with expressions of horror or curiosity on their faces.

On the next mural, countless people fell to the ground.

On the next mural, several waves are drawn, which seem to represent the ocean. There are several fish with white bellies floating on the ocean, and several birds falling from the sky.

Then... there is no more!
These stones have been corroded after being left here for too long, and that's all that Pochi can see clearly.

"If these paintings weren't drawn indiscriminately, I think they should record a certain natural disaster."

"That meat ball should be an uninvited guest. Its sudden appearance led to the death of some humans and fish..."

"But where did that meatball come from, and what happened afterwards? Are these skeletons in the sea the same as those dead creatures?" Pochi frowned and murmured to himself.
