My sister felt the snake's tail being shaken and looked down at Hugo.
"But sister, I want to know who killed my mother, and I want revenge."
"He is a human being, not us fish-men. He is not of my race. We should not be credulous. We should stay away from him."
"But those murlocs don't help us, so what if they are the same kind? Only this human in front of us is willing to lend a helping hand."
The girl's sharp nails unconsciously rubbed the scales on her body.
Indeed, none of the villagers who were also fishmen were willing to help these two outsiders, only the human in front of them was willing to help.
She couldn't help but sigh.
"I just passed the trial of Sea God, and I also know your queen Nami. I guarantee my reputation and will not deceive you."
"You were able to pass Sea God's trial." Alps's eyes widened, "This means that you have been recognized by Sea God. In this case, I'm sorry, Demon Hunter, just now I..."
"It doesn't matter, let's tell you the whole story."
"My mother, a botanist, was killed last night. Come in with us."
Alps opened the door, Dick followed the direction of her finger and looked at the corpse on the bed in the simple house - a female fish-man, with a gray face and a dead eye.
Alps said with a deep tone, "This is our mother."
Dick Dick stopped three steps away from the corpse. With the keen senses of the demon hunter, he discovered a black patch of black under the neck of the corpse and blood stains on the abdomen of the clothes.
"Did you let anyone else see the body?"
"No. My brother and I asked them to help us with the burial, but except for the landlord's greetings and asking us to get out of here quickly, no one was willing to help."
"Why did your landlord ask you to leave immediately? Is it because a fishman died in his house and he felt it was unlucky?"
Alps hesitated in his tone, lowering his head and looking at the snake's tail that was flapping unconsciously.
"When your mother passed away last night, you didn't notice anything unusual?"
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault." Hugo's eyes turned red again, "I wanted to go out to play last night, so I asked my sister to take me there. We played by the river for a long time before returning home, and then I found that my mother..."
A drop of hot tears fell down his face, Alps gently hugged his brother with both hands.
Dick nodded, he already understood the general outline of the matter. "Then when did you come back last night?"
"Around 11 o'clock."
"I understand."
He concentrated on turning on Witcher Senses, and with his super keen perception, he carefully observed the wounds on the corpse.
In addition to a bruise on the woman's neck, there are also subtle fish-man handprints on it.
"Well, someone probably grabbed his neck and compressed his arteries instantly, rendering him unable to resist."
Dick slowly moved his eyes down the woman's body and explained in a low voice, "I'm offended. I need to undress her."
"It doesn't matter, Demon Hunter, as long as you can find the murderer, my mother's spirit in heaven will not blame you."
Dick slowly untied the corpse's clothes and found that there were no fatal wounds on her chest, but on her abdomen...
"Well, it seems that my judgment just now is correct. There are three puncture holes in the abdomen, and the puncture distance is very close. It should be that the stomach was pierced by a weapon similar to the sea fork."
Dick walked around to the other side of the bed, squatted down slowly,
"Well, this poor woman didn't resist much. She must have fallen asleep at that time. After being controlled by someone who pinched her neck, the person then stabbed her in the abdomen with a weapon."
Dick stood up and sniffed hard.
He looked at the two children. "You stay here and don't move. I'll go after the murderer. He should still be in the village."
"No, we will go with you." Alps held Guoguo's hand tightly.
Dick Then I thought about it, if I left these two little brothers here, they might be in danger.
"Well, after catching the murderer, I will help you bury your mother."
As soon as a few people walked out of the house, an old fish-man, whose scales had fallen off a lot, slowly approached with his jointed legs.
After he came closer, he rubbed his eyes vigorously and spoke in a rough voice, "Alps, Guoguo, is this a human being? Who is he?"
"He is a demon hunter, helping us find the murderer.
Uncle landlord, we must find the murderer who hurt my mother."
"Didn't I tell you to leave the village immediately and stop looking for the murderer?
You are too young, why don't you listen to me? Your mother's body is still there.
How about this, how about I send someone to find an ocean cave, bury your mother first, and then tell you the burial place?"
"Thank you." The siblings thanked them repeatedly.
After bidding farewell to the landlord, Dick walked quickly along the marked red dotted line.
The tentacles of fluorescent corals on the back mountain sway with the water flow, projecting a spiderweb-like outline on Dick's irises.
The pearl oysters between some branches are closing their shells abnormally, and a creature passed by here just fifteen minutes ago.
The murderer was so brave that he actually hid not far from the hut. Dick thought to himself.
He stopped in front of a huge coral, waved his hand, motioning for the two children to stop, and whispered, "The murderer is right in front. I will go there myself, and you guys can hide."
The two children were very well-behaved and immediately ran to the coral group on the other side to hide their petite figures.
Dick pressed his right hand on the hilt of Dawn Sword's sword at his waist. After turning slowly, he quickly took a big step forward and stabbed out with the sword.
When the sword tip collided with the sea fork, there was a crisp sound.
The murderer who wanted to make a sneak attack was staggered back five steps by the force of Dick's sword.
Dick Only then can he see what this person looks like:
The head is like a dragon, and the upper body is naked, exactly like the fishman guard.
After the elite murlocs pass the test of Sea God, no matter what murloc race they belonged to before, their appearance and body shape will become similar.
At this time, Dick couldn't think too much. The fishman guard shouted loudly, raised his trident and swung it hard at Dick.
Dick wanted to capture the opponent alive and ask him why he killed his siblings' mother, so he did not use Sword Qi.
With a slight push of his feet, he jumped high into the air and easily dodged the blow.
When he was hanging upside down in the air, he could clearly see the pulsating parotid glands under the guard's scales, which were the unique respiratory organs of the fishman guard.
The long sword in his hand was lifted in the air from the lower right to the upper left, and blue blood flowers suddenly bloomed from the murderer's back.
The fishman guard screamed in pain, without looking back, and ran towards the other side with his snake tail swaying.
But just after running a few meters, his snake tail was severely nailed to the spot by a long sword that came through the air.
Dick took out the dagger from his waist, walked cautiously to the struggling murderer, and pressed the tip of the knife against his chin, "Why did you kill that woman?"
The murderer stared at Dick, then burst out laughing.
Dick was surprised when the exclamations of his siblings came from behind him.
"No, there are other helpers!"
Dick turned around and found that the pair of young brothers had quickly wandered into the jungle, and the one chasing them was another fishman guard.
The guard had just retracted his action of throwing the steel fork.
Dick pulled out the long sword nailed to the snake's tail of the seriously injured murderer and ran towards the second murderer.
In the blink of an eye, the second murderer dived into a small stream next to the mountain coral ahead.
As soon as his snake tail dipped into the stream, his speed suddenly more than doubled. In addition, he seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here. Dick could only follow him from a distance, making it difficult to catch up.
But luckily, the young lady on the other side slipped into the coral bush and disappeared.
After a while, the fishman guard ran to the transparent protective barrier.
At this time, he actually turned around and smiled ferociously at Dick, revealing his sharp teeth.
He slowly extended his hand towards the barrier, and a thinner opening instantly appeared on the barrier.
The fishman guard slowly pushed his body forward, passed through the barrier, and disappeared into the rough dark sea.
