The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 651 The Original Mermaid
In the dark, icy water, Liang Yuan looked puzzled.

In less than a few dozen seconds, the spiritual aura he left behind vanished.

Could it be that the other party has already discovered it?

"It shouldn't be."

Liang Yuan shook his head, sensing that something was amiss.

Gu Jianye was already severely injured, and it was probably too late for him to use his [Word Spirit] ability again.

Shouldn't he use the energy he has left to escape?
With that in mind, Liang Yuan continued swimming forward.

He had only swum a few dozen meters forward when his expression suddenly changed slightly.

But ahead, in the dark water, a patrol team was seen marching in neat formation.

Each person in that group was armed with weapons such as bone forks.

Liang Yuan was astonished: "How could there be a team in this flooded deep sea?"

With a slight shift in his mind, he disregarded the pursuit of Gu Jianye and, with a slight twist of his body, transformed into a shadow, hiding behind a submerged building.

He then took a closer look at the team that was getting closer and closer.

There were about twelve humanoid creatures in the group.

These humanoid creatures have bodies covered in scales, and their hands and feet have webbed feet.

Its face is ferocious, with a sharp mouth and fangs.

With just one glance, Liang Yuan could tell that this was a group of merfolk!
"A merman with superpowers?"

Liang Yuan immediately guessed what was going on; this wasn't the first time he'd encountered this situation.

When they first entered the Mirage Serpent Space, Ji Xiaoyu and the others established a refuge for the Merfolk and the Merfolk underwater.

Because of their unique physical transformations, they were able to adapt to the underwater environment, so they simply decided to live entirely in the water.

Only in this way can they escape the pursuit from Eden.

Liang Yuan suspected that this team might be similar to Ji Xiaoyu and the others, a group of merfolk with transformation abilities.

His gaze swept across the area and he suddenly noticed that the two merfolk in the middle were holding someone in their hands.

This person was none other than Gu Jianye!
At this moment, Gu Jianye was protected by a layer of blue energy shield, which not only isolated him from the water flow but also provided him with some oxygen.

It seems to be some kind of rune effect.

Gu Jianye was already unconscious and was being held tightly by two mermen as they walked forward.

After watching them walk past the building in front of him, Liang Yuan felt a slight stirring in his heart.

He immediately followed silently.

The underwater environment is dark with extremely low visibility.

It could even be described as pitch black.

Using his night vision, Liang Yuan closely followed the merman team.

After swimming along for a short while, the group suddenly changed direction and swam into deeper waters.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan thought to himself that it was strange.

You should know that the water pressure increases the further downstream you go, the harder it is for even a mermaid to swim too deep.

Liang Yuan did not hesitate. In the shadows, he did not need to worry about water pressure or other issues.

He quickly followed and descended.

Buildings that had been submerged for a long time by the flood appeared beside us.

Some of these buildings have collapsed, while others are covered in algae and are no longer recognizable.

Some buildings are covered with various seashells, and a large number of seashells, conches and other creatures have gathered here.

Some mutated lobsters and mutated fish swam around inside the building.

Liang Yuan paid no attention to the buildings around him and continued to follow the merman group.

Soon the merman group arrived at a ruin.

Outside the ruins, a large number of merfolk appeared, patrolling around the ruins as if guarding something.

This made Liang Yuan look curious.

What is inside these ruins that would make so many merfolk gather here to guard them?

This area is also strange; it doesn't look like the ruins of a former city.

Among those ruins were many palace-like remains, some of which resembled ancient buildings like museums.

Without hesitation, Liang Yuan flashed forward and quickly moved closer.

Using the shadows as cover, Liang Yuan quickly approached the ruins.

The surrounding merfolk couldn't detect his presence at all.

Liang Yuan quickly slipped into the ruins.

As soon as he entered, he immediately released his spiritual energy to scan the surrounding ruins.

Upon seeing this, his expression immediately turned surprised again.

The buildings here resemble museums from the outside, but inside there are numerous stone and bone artifacts.

"Could it be a museum from the Stone Age?"

"What are these merman-human ability users doing gathered here?"

Liang Yuan wondered what was so interesting about the Stone Age museum that these merfolk cared so much about.

He continued walking into the ruins.

The further Liang Yuan went in, the better the buildings inside were preserved.

As he walked through a connecting corridor, the museum hall inside became very orderly.

The rooms around the house were arranged in a staggered manner, with a large number of items piled up here, making it seem as if something lived here.

However, most of what's piled up here is bones, making it look like a place inhabited by wild animals rather than humans.

Liang Yuan frowned: "Could it be that those merfolk usually live in this museum?"

With doubt in his heart, he continued walking inside.

Before long, several merfolk were seen guarding the entrance to a large hall.

Various runes flickered faintly within the hall.

Liang Yuan sensed that the energy within these merfolk was considerable. He immediately took out his psionic glasses and tested their strength.

Upon seeing this, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Are they all mermaids with a score of 90 or higher? And they're just gatekeepers?"

Liang Yuan's heart grew heavier; he feared that what was being guarded inside was no ordinary item.

With that thought in mind, he transformed into a shadow and continued to move closer.

Having easily evaded the merfolk's eyes and ears, Liang Yuan entered the hall.

However, there were many exhibits in the hall, most of which were various oracle bones.

The oracle bones were covered with numerous runes resembling oracle bone script.

At this moment, the runes were emitting a strange light.

Liang Yuan leaned closer to take a look.

However, beneath an oracle bone inscription, there is an information panel on a stainless steel panel.

"This exhibit is an original oracle bone inscription used for sacrificial divination, unearthed in 1899 at the Yin Ruins in Linjiang. The dense characters on the surface of the tortoise shell represent the ancestral form of Chinese characters, witnessing the astonishing birth of Chinese writing 3300 years ago..."

Liang Yuan looked at the introduction on it and fell silent.

With his current knowledge, he could naturally recognize at a glance that the oracle bone script in front of him was actually supernatural runes!
"Could it be that the oracle bone inscriptions discovered in history are actually supernatural runes?"

"Wait, if that's the case? Doesn't that mean that superpowers existed a very, very long time ago?"

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of this great flood, as if in history, mankind had also experienced a similar flood that destroyed the world.

Could it be that all of this is not a coincidence?

Is history just a cycle?

Liang Yuan's heart pounded, as if he had stumbled upon some truth!
He emerged from the shadows, reached out and picked up the oracle bone rune, preparing to study how it differed from the current supernatural runes.

As soon as he got the rune, he suddenly felt the ripples in the water.

Liang Yuan's expression shifted, and he immediately put the oracle bone runes into his hand, quickly disappearing into the shadows.

But then, two mermaids swam out from behind the exhibition hall.

They walked through the exhibition hall and quickly came outside. Before long, they brought Gu Jianye, who was bound hand and foot, inside.

Upon witnessing this scene, Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately followed silently.

During this process, he heard two mermaids talking and communicating.

Strangely, Liang Yuan couldn't understand what the two merfolk were saying.

"What's going on? Even if you transform into a merman, can your way of speaking still change?"

Liang Yuan had seen merfolk before. Zhang Peng and Ji Xiaoyu, whether in merfolk or fish-person form, still spoke in human language.

I've never heard of them having their own internal communication system.

"Could these two merman ability users be from out of town?"

Liang Yuan looked strange as he followed the two men inside.

Before long, after passing through the exhibition hall, the ground in front of us suddenly cascaded down.

But then they saw a huge cave in the ground.

The two merfolk carried Gu Jianye and swam directly into the cave.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan's eyes flickered, and he followed.

Upon entering the cave, Liang Yuan discovered that it was a maze of interconnected passages, resembling an ancient underground tomb!
"What kind of museum is this? It's built right on top of an ancient tomb!"

Liang Yuan was surprised and followed closely behind the two mermen in front of him, passing through one tomb passage after another.

Soon they arrived at a larger tomb chamber.

The tomb contained numerous dungeons, and four or five people were already imprisoned in one of them.

The two merfolk threw Gu Jianye into the dungeon, then turned around, mumbled a few words in their tongues, and left.

Liang Yuan glanced into the dungeon and was immediately stunned.

"Zhang Peng!"

But then they saw Zhang Peng among them in the dungeon!

Liang Yuan was astonished. How could Zhang Peng be here?

He wasn't sure what was going on, but he knew for a moment that something strange was definitely happening.

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan did not immediately step forward to rescue the people, but quickly followed the two mermen.

Two merfolk walked out of the dungeon, while Liang Yuan left a mental imprint inside the dungeon before quickly following them.

Before long, two merfolk appeared at the entrance to another cave.

After passing through the cave, the space suddenly opened up before us.

But what they found was a huge tomb chamber, as spacious as a giant stadium.

In the center of the tomb chamber, there was a structure resembling an altar, upon which sat a stone coffin.

Near the stone coffin, rows of giant round eggs were neatly arranged.

Some of the giant eggs had cracked open, and it seemed that something had crawled out of them.

Some of the giant eggs remain intact, gently undulating as if something is being conceived inside.

Liang Yuan was surprised. He looked around and saw that there were no merfolk guarding him.

With a flick of the fingers.

Woo——!
A deep, whistling sound rang out, and in an instant, a powerful gust of wind tore apart a giant egg.

puff!

The giant egg shattered, and a pool of liquid was swept up by the surrounding water, spreading out in a murky ripple.

Inside the giant egg, a tiny mermaid infant floated out.

When Liang Yuan saw this, his pupils shrank instantly!
"This...is a merman!"

"These merfolk hatched from these giant eggs?"

"They are not human superhumans!"

Only now did Liang Yuan realize with horror that the merfolk outside were not human at all!
Moreover, they were born as mermaids!
In some ways, these merfolk are basically mutated beasts!
