Chapter 134: The Tide Summoner
Chapter 134: The Tide Summoner
They stayed in Hanhai City for several days. The sequelae of Jian and Gu releasing their martial spirits needed time to recover.
On the third day, seeing that the two had recovered well, Ning Bei asked Daming to set off first to find a sea area with higher brightness than other places.
And he wandered around Hanhai City. After all, he had never released his spirit body.
The entire Hanhai City can be said to be dependent on the sea, and all food, clothing and daily necessities are basically related to the sea.
There are houses made from the shells of large sea beasts, clothes inlaid with shells, and most of the food is seafood. Even the fighting arena is a large enclosed ocean.
Unconsciously, they arrived at a village by the sea. Ning Bei walked in slowly. The villagers were working in groups of three or five, processing their catches from the sea. The air filled with the smell of fish made him frown.
Suddenly, a group of young children not far away attracted his attention.
Most of the children were eight to nine years old. At this time, they were surrounding another child, throwing stones at him from time to time and muttering something.
Only when Ning Bei got closer could he hear their shouting and cursing.
"Kill this monster. It was her fault that my father was bitten by a shark when he went out to sea."
"That's right, kill this disaster."
"That's right. If you don't want to die, get out of the village."
Ning Bei listened to the harsh shouting and looked towards the crowd, wanting to see who the children called a monster.
This sight gave him a fright.
Because the girl surrounded by the crowd didn't look like a human at all.
Its pupils are dark yellow like those of a fish, and it has spikes on its head. The skin exposed outside its clothes is dark green with scary scales on it, and it has fins on its elbows, but its lower body is no different from that of a human.
It was too far-fetched to say that the other person looked like a human. No wonder the children around her would bully her together. People always harbor the deepest malice towards those of different species.
However, Ning Bei was curious about the other party's origins, so he pulled over a little kid who was watching the fun, and while the kid was looking puzzled, he took out a gold soul coin and threw it into his hand.
Little Radish Head took the gold soul coin and was slightly stunned.
"Sir, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Can you tell me why you are bullying this child?"
The little boy said as a matter of course:
"She is a monster. Isn't it right for us to bully her?"
"Then can you tell me her origins? If you tell me clearly, this gold soul coin will belong to you."
The little boy's eyes lit up.
"Really? Your Excellency."
Ning Bei nodded affirmatively and waited for his next words.
The little boy scratched his head, looking a little anxious, and seemed to not know where to start.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to tell me?"
"Sir, that's not the case. It's just that we don't know much about her exact origins. We only know that her mother went out to sea and gave birth to this monster when she returned."
"We don't know who the father of this monster is. I heard from the adults in the village that this monster was born from her mother's affair with the Sea Soul Beast."
Ning Bei nodded slightly after listening to the little boy's explanation. After thinking about it, he felt that this was indeed possible.
After a while, I heard a lot of villagers shouting behind me, asking the children to go home for dinner.
The little boy in front of him pointed at the gold soul coin in his hand and looked at Ning Bei timidly.
"Sir, my parents asked me to go home for dinner. Here are the gold soul coins."
"It's okay, you can take it!"
"Thank you, sir."
With Ning Bei's approval, the little boy put the gold soul coin into his pocket and jumped away.
The crowd dispersed, and the strange girl who was lying in the middle stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, and slowly walked away. She looked indifferent, as if she was used to all this.
Ning Bei thought about it and quickly stopped in front of her. Seeing the man in front of her, the fish girl was slightly stunned, then sighed, and then lay on the ground hugging her head.
"Hurry up, I have to go back to eat."
Ning Bei frowned at the girl's words. Do I look like such a boring person?
"Get up, I'm not here to bully you, can you tell me about your story?"
Upon hearing this, the girl quietly revealed her deep yellow pupils. After looking at Ning Bei, she found that he was indeed not in the same group with that group of children. Then she stood up again and walked away.
"What's there to ask about me? I'm just a monster."
Ning Bei looked at the girl walking away, sighed slightly, and then slowly caught up with her.
The two of them came to a thatched hut near the sea, one after the other. Before the girl entered the house, she looked back and saw Ning Bei still following her, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"What are you following me for?"
Ning Bei knew that she didn't want to talk about her experience, so he didn't waste any more words and went straight into the house.
Seeing this, the girl looked at him anxiously.
"What's wrong with you?"
But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Ning Bei.
"What's your name?"
"what?"
The girl stared blankly at the man in front of her, wondering if he was sick.
After a while, Ning Bei saw that the stunned girl did not answer him, so he asked again:
"What's wrong? You don't even have a name?"
The girl finally came back to her senses and gave Ning Bei a complicated look.
"Aren't you afraid of me? I can bring disaster to others."
Ning Bei smiled disdainfully. What kind of disaster could have any effect on a Quasi-Title Douluo like me?
"It's just an excuse for what happened to them."
The girl's eyes lit up slightly when she heard that, then dimmed again.
"I don't have a name. My mother died shortly after giving birth to me. You've also seen what I look like. I am indeed a monster."
Ning Bei thought to himself that this child must have been in a depressing environment for too long, so he began to deny himself, and decided not to continue this topic.
"Do you have a martial spirit?"
The girl smiled self-deprecatingly when she heard that.
"Do you think someone would awaken a martial spirit for a monster like me?"
Ning Bei nodded. It seemed that her martial soul had not yet awakened. If she was really the crystallization of a high-level soul beast and a human, then she should have good talent.
Without further ado, Ning Bei directly used his soul power to stimulate the martial spirit in the girl's body.
The girl was a little flustered for a moment, not knowing what the other party was going to do to her?
As if seeing through her thoughts, Ning Bei's voice sounded slowly.
"Don't panic, try to guide the power in your body, and I will awaken your martial spirit for you."
With Ning Bei's level of cultivation, he no longer needed to use the awakening stone to assist him, he could just use his soul power directly.
Hearing this, the girl slowly closed her eyes and began to guide the power in her body. She felt warm all over, as if something was trying to come out of her body.
After a while, the chanting of a siren sounded behind the girl. It was her martial soul.
The appearance of this martial spirit almost made Ning Bei's eyes pop out.
Wuhun's entire body is dark green, with pointed horns on his head like a girl, a sea-blue gem inlaid on his forehead, no legs under his body, instead there is a mermaid-like tail, and his hands hold a turquoise scepter with a golden ring on the top.
This martial soul is an unknown martial soul in Douluo Continent, but Ning Bei is very familiar with it.
"Nm, isn't this Nami? Or should I say Tidecaller Mermaid?"
