Is this a delaying tactic?
I was a little confused and hesitated for a while, not knowing whether I should go out.

At this time, Rosa had already opened the safety of the sniper rifle, and the crisp sound of the bullet being loaded woke me up directly!
It was Rosa's sudden decision that made me make up my mind - no matter what, let's talk! If we don't talk, it will really be a fight to the death. This time we are mainly here to chase Duolun and the immortal corpse. The main purpose is to figure out the many problems that have been bothering us and understand the true intentions of the Taoist Sanqing! If we don't even see the immortal corpse and Duolun, we will fight these mermaids to the death here, which is completely putting the cart before the horse!
In my opinion, this is actually a completely unnecessary conflict, so avoid it if you can!
Since the other party said that he wanted to talk, whether it is true or false, I think we should try it. If we don't try, there will be no chance.
After thinking this through, how could I let Rosa shoot? I have 100% confidence in Rosa's shooting skills. She will definitely kill the person outside with this shot. At that time, there will be no way to defend herself. Even if the other party really wants to talk, it may not be possible. The only way is to fight to the death.
"Wait!"
I immediately rushed up and held Rosa, and then told her the general situation and my thoughts.
"Too dangerous!"
Qingyi frowned and said, "These things are very intelligent. They are pretending to be dead and attacking by surprise. They are very cunning. Nine out of ten are cheating. You are in danger if you go. If something happens, I can't explain to your father and your grandfather. The Ge family is full of heroes, and they should not end up being left behind."
After a pause, Qingyi hesitated for a moment, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If you want to go, I will go to talk!"
Qingyi's mind is clear. When he said this, my heart was actually much warmer. If nothing else, it is worth it for me to do anything for his thoughts!
However, he really couldn't do this mission!
It's just that Qingyi is stubborn and the type who sticks to his word. I really couldn't just run away like this. After hesitating for a while, I asked him, "Can you understand what others say when you go out?"
Qingyi didn't speak.
"So, this mission has to be done by me!"
I laughed softly, looked at the old madman who was drunk from beginning to end, but ran away very fast when something happened, and whispered, "Besides, you are the soul of our group after all. I can do without you, but I can't do without you!"
Qingyi became more and more silent, clenching his teeth tightly.
Seeing him like this, I knew he was convinced by me, and he didn't explain, and walked out with the Baipi Knife.
I'm not great, but for these brothers and teammates, I dare to die.
When I took a step out of the exit, I could clearly feel the mermen outside getting nervous. The ones in the front all pointed their bone spears at me, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded me in a semicircle. Because they moved so fast, I didn't even see what the so-called leader looked like before I was surrounded.
"Is this your way of negotiating?"
I shouted in ancient Greek. It was the first time I spoke this language with real swords and guns, and I was still a little nervous. Ancient Greek is a little different from our modern language. It has 26 roots, and it is particularly difficult to say. It is like a spell. It is one of the oldest languages in the world. Anyway, I stuttered when I spoke, almost one word at a time. I waited patiently after I finished speaking. The cold sweat on my forehead "swooshed" down. I just hope they can understand my "ancient Greek" and don't cause any misunderstandings. They come up and knock me out without saying a word.
"Don't worry, although our tribe lives in a dangerous environment, we still know the rules!"
At this time, the pleasant female voice sounded again behind the mermaids surrounding me, which made me feel relieved - fortunately, it seems that the other party can still understand what I said. It's good that they can understand it. At least there is a basis for negotiation!
As soon as this female voice fell, the mermaids blocking the middle slowly made way, and then... a mermaid with obvious female body features swam out. It is different from other mermaids. It does not move by slapping the ground with its tail. Instead, it has a fish tail, but it moves like a snake, relying on the movement of its tail to move forward. Not to mention, the change in the way of movement actually gave this relatively unique mermaid a kind of... alternative beauty, or should I say enchanting!
Moreover, this mermaid who seems to be the leader is also different from those ugly monsters in overall appearance. When I saw her for the first time, even though she has few human features, I still had a very strange feeling - she is really beautiful!
Different from the mermaids who attacked us, her scales were almost transparent. When the flashlight shone on them, they reflected a rainbow-like luster. The whole body looked bright and shiny. Moreover, the scales covered less areas on her body. At least her upper body almost maintained a complete human body shape. Her skin was white, and her chest was wrapped in what seemed to be the skin of a sea beast. Her cheeks and facial features were deep and three-dimensional, which were standard Western facial features. Her light golden hair was draped over her shoulders, which was very delicate.
I guess this is what the legendary mermaid is like?
In short, it's beautiful!
Please forgive me for being illiterate. I can only use these two words to describe her. She has a completely different style.
"Can I make a request? Can you please turn off the one in your hand?"
The female mermaid said a little embarrassedly: "We live in the seabed without light, and we are sensitive to these light sources. It's not comfortable to be illuminated."
I was stunned, and then I woke up from my daze. I quickly turned off the flashlight, but I smiled bitterly in my heart-if these are really evolved from humans, then they have evolved too thoroughly, and they have become sensitive to light sources. They can't even be called human beings.
Then the female mermaid introduced herself again, saying that her name is Jane, and she is the leader of this group of mermaids.
I didn't introduce myself, but directly asked her the purpose of her negotiation.
"I hope you can leave here."
Jane said directly: "Recently, many people have broken into here. Every time someone breaks in, we will sacrifice many, many people. It is difficult for us to reproduce. I really don't want to see large-scale bloodshed again."
Let us go?
So easy?
I was a little bit unbelievable, and after hesitating for a while, I said: "We have no intention of being enemies with you. This time we came here mainly because we have something to do, and we don't want to cause killing. However, now after all, we have hurt your people. Are you sure your people agree to stop?"
I am talking about the two mermaids we killed.
Jane hesitated, was silent for a while, and nodded heavily: "Yes, let you go! It can be seen that you are all very powerful. If the conflict continues, more of our people will die. This is not the scene I want to see. So, I hope that the conflict between us will end here, you leave here, and we give up hatred. That's it. Do you agree with my proposal?"
Of course I agree!
However, I also heard other information from her topic. After hesitating for a while, I asked her: "Are you saying that before we came, someone had come here and made you pay a heavy price?"
"Yes, two groups of people came."
Jane nodded and described the details to me. Through her description, I basically had a bottom line in my heart!
There were only two people who came in the first batch, probably Duolun and the Unaged Corpse. Duolun had killed a lot of mermaids here, causing the death of a large number of mermaids. Jane's face was full of fear when she talked about him now!
There were many people who came in the second batch, carrying guns. It should be the K Party. These guys are like wild dogs. Where there is meat, there are them. There was a tsunami in the Bermuda Triangle, and the ancient monuments below were shaken out. They were not strange, but I didn't expect them to arrive earlier than us!
"Can you tell me where those people went?"
I asked anxiously: "We came here to chase them!"
Maybe it was because I made my position clear, or because we didn't kill a lot, so Jane was not particularly afraid of us in general. When I asked this, she hesitated a little and told me: "They went to the ancestral land that we have guarded for generations, and the place where the history of the great Great Western Kingdom is recorded in murals."
