Chapter 46 The Eastern Sea Merfolk Clan

Under Wei Yuan's wary gaze, those creatures hidden in the deep sea gradually approached him.

Merfolk, deep-sea sirens, fish-men.

Sirens, who lure warriors to their deaths.

Of course, in Wei Yuan's eyes, they had other legends and names.

Jiaoren.

In the legends of the Western supernatural world, sirens represent the cold and ruthless side of the ocean, devoid of any emotion. In Eastern legends, the sincere tears of these *jiaoren* turn into the finest pearls.

A deep voice came from the darkness: "May I ask... are you a descendant of the Qin Iron Eagle Warriors?"

A ball of light rose from the deep sea. Wei Yuan saw the *jiaoren* clan, led by a strong, burly male *jiaoren*. Of course, the females of this race were extremely beautiful, while the males were rather unsightly. Wei Yuan always suspected that this was why the West directly ignored the existence of these male merfolk, focusing only on the sirens.

Wei Yuan replied in a slow voice, "How can we say we have no clothes? I share your robes."

"Black Ice Terrace, Wei Yuan."

"Are you descendants of the Eastern Sea *jiaoren* clan from that time?"

Seeing the fluttering Iron Eagle and hearing the agreement engraved on the jade stone, the surrounding *jiaoren* clan breathed a sigh of relief. They also felt disbelief in their hearts. They never expected that after more than two thousand years, a story that had almost become a legend would have a sequel.

Back then, when Qin unified the Divine Land, it sent the Black Ice Terrace and the Fangshi Xu Fu to Sakura Island.

On the way, the Iron Eagle Warriors originally intended to kill *jiaoren* to refine mermaid paste. However, the Qin warriors were able to kill the enemy on the battlefield without mercy, but rarely attacked civilians. Emperor Shi even did not kill the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

Yuan led the elite soldiers who fought on the battlefield, not another branch of the Black Ice Terrace.

Therefore, he could not bear to refine such humanoid creatures into medicinal paste alive.

In the end, they chose to spare their lives and instead kill the sea monsters, taking their blood and fat to refine into lamp oil, which could also burn for a long time. He also reminded the *jiaoren* clan to stay away from the Eastern Sea. Xu Fu took the opportunity to have Yuan and the *jiaoren* clan leader make an agreement.

Let these *jiaoren* clan leave, but the *jiaoren* clan also had to repay a favor.

And the target of this favor was Yuan.

Wei Yuan no longer knew what Xu Fu's original purpose was.

Was it to make Yuan relax his vigilance, or for his own arrangements later?

The events of that year had passed for too long.

At least, Xu Fu, who had not been eroded by time, was a man bold and arrogant enough, with outstanding strategies, and difficult to see through. Time is always extremely cruel to human beings. They either sink into pain, or gradually lose the things they once prided themselves on in the long years.

And if Wei Yuan had not seen the architectural style of the *jiaoren* clan that year, it would have been difficult for him to remember this matter.

Moreover, it was difficult for him to confirm whether the *jiaoren* clan still remembered the agreement of that year.

The *jiaoren* clan leader bowed slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, checked the jade dragon pendant, and said in disbelief: "Is this... a token? It seems that you are indeed a descendant of General Yuan. After more than two thousand years, you have really come."

"Please forgive me, this is really a bit, a bit unbelievable."

In the war-torn land of China.

It was really unimaginable for the *jiaoren* clan that an agreement could last so long.

"Then, according to the agreement, we can fulfill one of your requests." The *jiaoren* clan man twisted his neck and said, "Whether you want treasure or pearls, we can agree. Many Western barbarian ships are buried in the seabed, and there are many gold and silver treasures in them. These things are of little value to us. You can take them as you please."

He looked at Wei Yuan's body and the clothes with few pockets, and said generously:

"You can take as much as you can."

Then I might be able to empty you out...

In this regard, I can say that I am better than my teacher.

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't want this."

If you don't want this, then what else could there be?

Wine, women, wealth, and anger, these are what men like.

The *jiaoren* clan man was stunned.

His eyes swept over Wei Yuan's young face, thoughtfully.

Then he fell on the thousands of charming *jiaoren* clan women around him, and hesitated:

"No... uh, this, you are a descendant of General Yuan, I know, people in this era are very open, so, your request, it's not that we can't understand, but, cough cough, inter-racial relationships are a bit too early for our *jiaoren* clan..."

"Or is there a need to see a doctor for this kind of situation in the human race?"

"Cough, damn Andersen, I shouldn't have let him go back alive back then. It's enough to have unrequited love, what nonsense are you spreading..."

The *jiaoren* clan leader cursed in *jiaoren* slang, then coughed and said with an expression that was all for his own good, persuading him:

"Your ancestor, General Yuan, was a cold and ruthless general who had no interest in love and devoted himself to Qin."

"He was not married at the age of twenty."

"I think you should learn from him..."

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, and a strong urge to make chopped pepper fish head suddenly surged in his heart. He silently recited in his heart, I released them, I released them, and said, "It's not this either."

He pointed to the drum above and said, "I want a way to get rid of this fierce bird."

"His speed is very fast."

The *jiaoren* clan leader suddenly understood and said, "So that's what you want, you should have said so earlier."

The strong man pinched his chin and said, "There are two ways. The first is that we can summon a school of fish and rely on the school of fish to carry you quickly, but I don't think you need such a method, then there is only the second method..."

He said, "I know a place where there is a ship."

"It will definitely get rid of him."

"Well, at least in the sea."

……………………

Wei Yuan thought for a while. Anyway, he had to wait for Wu Zhiqi, so he might as well follow these Eastern Sea *jiaoren* clan to swim further away.

The drum seemed to faintly sense Wei Yuan's location and could chase him closely, which made Wei Yuan breathe a sigh of relief. At least, if it really didn't work, holding his breath seemed to be able to lure the drum over. However, if there was a ship that could get rid of the drum, he could try it.

"Have you been here since you left the Eastern Sea?"

Wei Yuan asked casually.

A delicate girl flicked her tail and said, "Of course not."

"We slowly separated... For more than two thousand years, our *jiaoren* clan has about the same lifespan as humans. In such a long time, some clansmen went to the West and the North. We haven't been in contact for a long time."

The *jiaoren* left the coastal waters of the Eastern Sea at the end of the Age of Gods. As for the branches that were scattered, they were likely the origin legends of many sirens.

Wei Yuan nodded.

Then he found that he had actually come to the vicinity of Australia again. He lowered his head and saw a huge and solemn temple at the bottom of the sea. Then, he saw a huge stone sculpture of a snake on it, with the head of a kangaroo, the teeth of a crocodile, the tail of a fish, feather-like ears, and the body of a long snake.

And below it were some seal script characters.

Wei Yuan was surprised and slowly read it out:

"The Ming Dynasty Xuande Emperor subdued the evil spirit here."

"This is..."

The *jiaoren* clan leader recalled: "This happened more than six hundred years ago. It is written in the history of our *jiaoren* clan that at that time, under the order of Zhu Biao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, a eunuch named Zheng He under the command of the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, was ordered to expedition overseas. It was because Zhu Di and Zhu Biao had a good relationship, otherwise it would not have been his turn."

"In short, at that time, this native god whose body was a rainbow snake had a conflict with Zheng He."

"After being suppressed, it turned into a stone statue. Zheng He and the others sent a ship with warriors from the Miao region, sending this demon god as far away from the Divine Land as possible. So it was sent here and suppressed below. The ships of the Divine Land were also overturned by the waves. They could only stay here after completing their final mission."

"It seems that there is also some Miao blood mixed in with the locals here. Because of the language barrier, there are many more legends about the rainbow snake."

"Alright, we're here."

Wei Yuan followed the *jiaoren* down, crossed a familiar but unfamiliar barrier, and arrived at a seal. Seeing the things under the seal, Wei Yuan couldn't help but feel admiration and emotion, because he saw the scene in front of him, a whole sunken, huge and magnificent city, temples, houses, streets, covered with seaweed and seagrass, but still giving people a sense of ancient desolation.

Wei Yuan said, "This is..."

The *jiaoren* clan scratched his head and said, "This is our secret place. We spent two thousand years finding this place and cracked part of the seal outside. We can't get inside, even the most powerful warriors can't get in, but we can still see that there is indeed a ship inside."

"Oh, yes, it's written on the stone tablet."

"This place is called Lemuria."

Wei Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he slowly exhaled.

He subconsciously almost grabbed his sword.

He knew what this place was, and he knew what that familiar but unfamiliar feeling was.

Lemuria, along with Atlantis, one of the four civilizations buried in the Age of Gods.

Submerged by a flood that cannot be described in words, sinking into the sea.

Also known as Mu, or Motherland Mu, but whether it is Lemuria, or these other names, they all point to the same place -

The cradle of prehistoric super-civilization.

A city of the Age of Gods comparable to Atlantis.

And, the Garden of Eden.

Then that ship...

Noah's Ark?

The corner of Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

The *jiaoren* clan next to him was still chattering, saying: "It's a pity, there is a ship as big as the city, but it's rotten. Now we can only see a small boat. Alas, I don't know what this place is. We have been trying to break the seal, but we just can't open it. This seal is too troublesome."

No...

No matter what, you have been able to corrode the seal to this point, which is amazing enough.

Even if they don't like it, this is also a holy place for the Western pantheon. The *jiaoren* clan member spread his hands and said, "Do you think you can crack it? If you break it open, this ship will be yours."

Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and stroked the seal of another pantheon.

Complex, extremely complex. Give him some time, and he can forcibly break part of it with talismans.

But now there is not enough time.

It seems that he can only use the second option, a deep-sea race...

Wei Yuan retracted his palm, shook his head, and said, "It's very complicated, I can't solve it."

Those *jiaoren* clan were also a little regretful, and at this time, a wave appeared in Wei Yuan's heart, and a voice appeared in Wei Yuan's ears in the way of dream transmission. It was Wu Zhiqi, and his emotions were faintly angry and aggrieved.

The *jiaoren* clan leader said: "It seems that you have no way to break the seal."

"But it doesn't matter, we can summon the fastest beast in the seabed, it should..."

Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Stop for a moment."

The *jiaoren* leader only said the remaining words: "Also be able to arrive."

"Uh, what did you say?"

"Didn't you say you couldn't break it?"

"I have no way to solve it."

'Wei Yuan' said slowly, he raised his eyes, and a bright golden light slowly radiated from his eyes. He grinned:

"Not that I have no way to break it."

"Huh?"

The *jiaoren* clan leader was stunned, and then saw the man raise his hand and clench his five fingers, and suddenly a stick made purely of water appeared. Before the *jiaoren*'s barren brain could judge the grammatical difference between breaking and solving, this huge stick had already spun around violently, and then in an angry way, it slammed heavily on the divine seal.

Wu Zhiqi searched for "Stellaris Difficult Start, ·Top God Exclusive"

So he opened the game.

Obviously -

He was abused.

……………………

At the place agreed upon in the Eastern Sea.

The old Taoist sat steadily, his eyes slightly closed, his white hair and beard, his sleeves swaying steadily with the sea breeze, giving off an unspeakable sense of otherworldly expert. In the bamboo basket next to him, there was already a full basket of fish, still jumping alive.

The old Taoist lifted his rod.

Another jumping bluefin tuna.

"Very good."

The old man's expression was calm, as if everything was under control, without the need for words.

He put the fish into the bamboo basket that had been cast with the magic of the pot.

A tuna immediately became as small as a little finger.

Then he cast the rod again.

In this sea area, catching such precious fish is almost a fishing technique that even the top sea anglers can't reach.

And under the sea.

Dai Tengu Longhushan No. 1 pinched his nose with one claw, and used the other claw to pull the sea water down to dive and catch fish.

Then put the caught fish on the hook.

A cat face was full of frustration.

He poked his head out, gasped for breath, and raised his claws to protest: "I can directly catch it in the fish basket."

Zhang Ruosu pondered and said seriously:

"But that experience is too bad."

What?

Dai Tengu twitched his mouth and retorted: "I am a cat, how can you let a cat swim?!"

Zhang Ruosu said righteously: "But you are clearly a dog."

"Huh? What evidence do you have?!"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas is written about it."

"You are called Tengu."

"You..."

Longhushan No. 1 wanted to cry without tears.

And at this time, Zhang Ruosu shook the fishing rod and said softly: "It seems, finally hooked."

Dai Tengu was stunned.

What's hooked?

At this time, Wei Yuan stood on something that looked like the prototype of Noah's Ark and moved forward at high speed.

On the sea, Western pantheon objects with legendary blessings, coupled with the assistance of Wu Zhiqi, were ultimately faster than the drum, which was not good at sea combat. Soon, Wei Yuan had already seen the old man on the East Sea from afar.

The old man sat on the sea, and the fishing rod in his hand moved.

The night sky suddenly lowered.

ps: The second update today... Thank you for Single Like Fish's ten thousand rewards, thank you~ This section can be finished.

The Australian aborigines belong to the Negrito race in the islands of Oceania and Southeast Asia, but over time, the genes of other races have been added, including the Caucasian dark race, the Vedda people of Sri Lanka, the Ainu people of Japan, the Toda people of India, and even the Miao people of China.
