Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 126
Advertisement
"Hello, passer-by. I'm Rachel from the Magma Mermaids."
It wasn't the two mermaids who had popped out. Instead, it came from the other side.
Klein looked in the direction of the voice. The lava parted, revealing an exquisite face.
A human body and a fish tail!
His gaze focused.
He couldn't help but look down.
The lower half of his body did resemble a human, but it was completely different from a human.
Her skin was slightly red, and there were many translucent scales on her body.
The lower half of her body was indeed a fish tail.
There were some key parts.
It seemed to be a thick turtle shell.
It was unknown which type of fish was able to remain unmelted under the lava.
Even so, Klein still had a taste of it.
There was a great sense of exoticism in it.
Klein seriously suspected that after staying in the catacombs world for too long, taste would unknowingly change. For a moment, he actually felt that it wasn't bad.
"I have no intention of entering. I hope I won't disturb you."
Klein smiled.
"Are you a Magma Mermaid? I thought mermaids only looked like you. Your clansmen..."
Rachel chuckled.
"No, they're still young. They'll only look like me when they grow up."
"I see."
Klein smiled inwardly.
It turned out to be a misunderstanding!
However, there was a big difference between whether the Magma Mermaids had grown up or not.
Klein would rather have a mermaid with one mouth than a mermaid with two mouths.
Of course.
A human body and a fish tail might not only have one mouth.
"Rachel, are you the Magma Mermaid's matriarch?"
Klein saw more heads poking out.
There were about thirty of them in total.
Most of them had human bodies and fish tails, and they were all beautiful women with exquisite looks.

They were all secretly observing Klein and discussing in low voices.
When Klein made eye contact with them, they would hurriedly move away.
Compared to the passion of the Succubi, the Magma Mermaids were even more shy and timid.
It was like a mature woman and the girl next door.
"No, we don't have a matriarch here. It's just that I'm the oldest, and they're all younger."
"Is that so? All of you look very young."
"Yes, I'm only eighty-eight years old. Most of them are between sixty to seventy years old, and the younger ones are only forty to fifty years old."
"..."
Klein's smile froze once again.
So Rachel was already so old!
Of course, perhaps to the Magma Mermaids, eighty-eight years was still young.
"Ahem, you already know my identity. I'm just a passerby. I walk around, make friends, and trade. Do you need anything? I have a lot of things here. Food and water."
Seeing that the other party wasn't getting to the point, Klein decided to take the initiative.
"Water? We don't need water," Rachel said in all seriousness.
"Whether we're sick or hungry, we only drink lava."
"So there really are girls who like to drink lava."
Klein sighed.
"Oh?"
"Nothing."
Klein smiled.
"Then, do you need food? I have a lot of delicious food here. Do you want to try it?"
"Can I try it?"
"Yes."
"Sure. If it's not bad, we're willing to trade with you." Rachel blinked her big bright eyes and said seriously, "Don't poison us. Poison is ineffective against us."
"Don't worry."
Klein wouldn't bring trouble upon himself.
Speaking of which, the Magma Mermaid wasn't scheming at all. She had actually made it clear.
Klein took out a barbecue grill.

He placed a piece of Snowdrift Ox beef on it, and then he added some bread and Sweet Fruits.
The beef was cooked and seasoned, filling the air with a fragrance.
Rachel sat on the shore, revealing the tail of the fish on her lower body.
Klein took a few glances.
She had a slender waist.
"I wonder if they'll eat grilled fish?"
Just as Klein had a bold idea, he immediately pressed it down.
It was better not to court death.
"It smells so good."
The Magma Mermaid asked for a pungent fragrance as they approached Klein's barbecue spot.
Rachel also took in a deep breath, full of anticipation.
"It's done. Try the taste of the grilled meat first."
Klein cut up the grilled meat and placed it on a plate before coming to Rachel's side.
The bread and sweet fruits were also prepared and placed neatly.
"Come, have a taste."
Klein sat to the side.
Rachel looked at Klein and then looked down at the food. Without using a fork, she lowered her head and used her tongue to sweep away a piece of roast meat.
"It's a little hot."
Klein had just reminded her, but he immediately remembered that they were drinking lava. It was impossible for such a little heat to burn their mouths.
"Mmm mmm mmm, delicious!" Rachel said with a look of enjoyment.
She continued lowering her head and he handed the plate to Rachel.
"All of you, come and try it," she said to the other mermaids.
As Rachel nodded, the mermaids who couldn't wait any longer began eating.
Some of them ate barbecued meat, some bread, and some sweet fruits.
In the blink of an eye, everything was gone.
After eating, everyone, including Rachel, stared at Klein.
Klein smiled and said, "The taste test is over. If you can come up with something good, not only will you be able to obtain some barbecued meat, I can also teach you how to make barbecued meat for free and give you condiments as a gift."
Klein spoke with a smile.
