Chapter 1279 Self-punishment
At this time, an old man among the mermaids crawled forward a few trembling steps and came to the front of the equation.
"You...you are a great benefactor to our mermaid clan, and we will all remember your words deeply.
We, the mermaid family, are both fish and humans. We have always gotten along very well with the people on the shore. They... they are also very kind and friendly to us. We like to get along with them very much, but...
..We actually did that kind of extremely cruel thing. Regardless of whether it was our intention or not, those things were indeed done by us. We...we can't explain it. We are ashamed of them! So starting from today.
..... We, the mermaid clan, hide in the deep sea and never emerge from the world again. This is... the punishment we pay for our ignorance, incompetence and crimes."
As soon as these words came out, most of the mermaids were shocked! "Patriarch..." "Lord Patriarch..." Everyone understood what this punishment meant.
It means...those playful and curious little mermaid babies can no longer come to the coast to play; it means...they can no longer eat the delicious food on land; it means...
It means... they will have to live a monotonous life with no new ideas; it also means... their mermaid clan can only spend long years in the dark and lightless deep sea.
.....The so-called most severe punishment in the world is not physical pain, but continuous mental and psychological isolation, neglect and emptiness! The mermaid patriarch gave them the most severe punishment! "I have decided
Sure, you don’t have to say anything else! For those innocent people whose lives we deprived of their lives, this kind of punishment is already very light for us!"
The mermaid clan leader's decision surprised Fang Fang, but also respected him. Mermaids are indeed very kind-hearted.
"That doesn't have to be the case!"
He approached the mermaid clan leader and knelt down to be eye level with the elderly clan leader to show his respect.
"During troubled times, you may have to hide from the world for a period of time, but as long as this chaotic time passes and the place where we live returns to a peaceful and peaceful environment, you can appear freely as before!"
After listening to his words, the mermaid clan leader looked at him with some excitement, and moved his lips a few times, but did not say anything! "Okay... okay..." It took a long time before the clan leader said it.
Two words.
Then, the mermaid clan leader slowly returned to the water and waved his arms towards everyone. All the mermaids slowly sank into the sea. There was reluctance and nostalgia in their eyes, but they did not stop their movements.
, they were apologizing and receiving punishment for what they had done. No one refused, everyone accepted it quietly.
Fang Fang and Qian Yuyang stood there, looking at the shocking scene in front of them, with so many mermaids diving into the water at the same time. In their hearts... they were silently bidding farewell to this bright and wonderful world. After all,
...No one knows how long this storm will last before it subsides.
"When this matter calms down, I will personally come and ask you to return to life on land!"
The moment the mermaids entered the water, Fang Fang shouted to them... The sea surface returned to calm once again. Fang Fang retracted his gaze, and then looked at the densely packed thread-shaped Gu worms crawling on the ground on the island.
They probably don't like water, so they all gather on the small island.
Fang Fang lightly snapped his fingers, and a burst of spiritual fire ignited on the ground. Except for where Qian Yuyang and himself were standing, the rest of the ground was engulfed by golden tongues of flame.
Those Gu insects ran around in fear, but had nowhere to escape. Under the greeting of the spiritual fire, they were reduced to ashes.
"These things are so disgusting! If the Gu art cannot be completely eradicated, I think we will waste a lot of energy and material resources on this in the future!"
Qian Yuyang looked at the bits of insect ashes that were not burned out under his feet and stepped on them hard.
"Yes, so...we need to go to Nuerjiang!"
Fang Fang nodded.
"But... we have to wait until the Yancheng matter is settled!"
With that said, he walked towards the boat.
It’s time to go back, there are still many things waiting for you in Yancheng! When the two people returned to the shore, they saw Deputy Xiao and a few guards standing on the shore waiting for them. The dead bodies on the shore seemed to have been cleaned up.
, piled in a small forest not far away.
A little further away, Yuan Yue was standing there with her arms tightly folded, watching their ship approaching from a distance.
Fang Fang's heart warmed slightly.
He knew in his heart that Deputy Xiao might have gone back first with the child in his arms, but he didn't follow him back. She was worried! Fang Fang walked quickly towards Yuan Yue.
Seeing him appear in front of her intact, Yuan Yue was so nervous that the hand holding her sleeve loosened.
"You're back!"
She said to the equation with a faint smile.
"Well, I'm back!"
Fang Fang said and pulled her into his arms, and Yuan Yue quickly and tightly hugged him back.
"I'm fine, everything has been resolved! Your boyfriend is very powerful..." Fang Fang joked lightly, he didn't want Yuan Yue to feel nervous.
"I know..." Yuan Yue also said with a smile.
"Then let's... go back!"
After listening to Yuan Yue's words, Fang Fang nodded first and then spoke again.
"Wait a moment, there is one last thing!"
After saying that, Fang Fang let go of Yuan Yue and turned towards the pile of corpses in the woods.
"If these corpses are piled up here, a plague will occur. This must be dealt with!"
He said to Deputy Xiao.
"Yeah, I know, I just... haven't thought of the best solution yet!"
Deputy Xiao sighed. With so many corpses, he really didn't know where to find a place big enough to bury them.
"You don't have to think of anything else, it's best to burn it..." As soon as Fang Fang finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, and the whole pile of corpses immediately burst into flames, and the guards nearby hurriedly retreated.
"This..." Everyone was stunned by Fang Fang's actions. Even Yuan Yue looked at him with a look of extreme admiration.
What surprised everyone was not that he burned the corpses, but that he could actually make the entire corpse burn with just a wave of his hand.
"Okay, let's go! It's impossible to put out the fire before those corpses are burned out, but...it's a pity that the forest will probably be burned down together!"
After saying that, Fang Fang took Yuan Yue's hand and walked in the opposite direction.
Everyone stopped where they were, staring blankly at the huge flames soaring into the sky, unable to recover for a long time.
"Fangfang, you are so handsome..." "Yes?"
