Global Weird

Chapter 398 Undersea Palace, Mermaid Clan

"Gollum..."

After Li Guanqi was sucked into the space crack, he felt a strong sense of soul dizziness, and he fainted directly.

But when he regained consciousness again, he choked on a big mouthful of water.

"???"

Li Guanqi closed his mouth, looked around, a little dazed.

Looking around, after observing for a while, he found that this is a dark seabed, with many strange sea beasts swimming around, all of which are from one-level to three-level sea beast monsters. At this moment, feeling the breath of his powerful human being, All are afraid to avoid it.

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

Then, he rummaged through the space necklace, and found that everything was still there, and it was neatly arranged, no different from before.

The storage space of the Space Necklace is not affected.

This shows that the previous space crack was very stable, and it was a normal space channel.

"Om-"

Li Guanqi took out a blue ring from the space necklace, and put it on the thumb of his left hand. Immediately afterwards, the blue ring emitted a burst of blue light, turning into an almost invisible transparent film, tightly fitting his whole body.

This is Kento Takagi's legacy.

The second-order sacrificial vessel—the water-avoiding ring.

The basic principle is also very simple. Through the built-in spiritual power array, it can release the water-repelling film and absorb the oxygen in the seawater, and release it to the user from the water-repelling film with only a little spiritual power provided by the user.

Of course, humans with different blood can hold their breath for a long time and move in sea water.

The problem is uncomfortable!
Li Guanqi has always been able to enjoy without being uncomfortable, since there are objects to avoid water, it is natural to use them.

"Xiaoxue, what happened when I was unconscious?"

After Li Guanqi adjusted the water-proof ring, he asked a question in his mind.

"Master, you just fell out of the space crack and appeared here directly. You have been in a coma for 3 hours and 6 minutes. What happened during this period is worth mentioning. Only two mermaids holding tridents passed by. Yes. Seeing you chattering for a while, talking words that Xiaoxue couldn't understand."

what?
Li Guanqi was slightly taken aback.

Mermaid?

On the grasslands of the strange world, there are orcs, and on the bottom of the oceans, there are mermaids.

It's just that there are many branches of the mermaid family, some of which are similar to the favorite mermaids of the nerds in the 21st century. The upper body is a beautiful human being, and the lower body is a beautiful fish body.

But this branch is relatively small, and basically they all have the royal blood of the mermaid clan.

More mermaids are actually more similar to monsters.

Their upper body can only be said to barely have the shape of a human being, but they are covered with fish scales, and the fingers of their hands are like duck webs. They also have hideous appearances and ugly gills on their faces. It's already hard to come by.

It is easy for the mermaids to distinguish the status from superior to inferior.

The more similar and beautiful the upper body is to human beings, the higher the concentration of royal blood in the body, and the higher the status - of course, the stronger the strength.

Mermaids are not some miscellaneous fish.

This is a powerful demi-human race. Among the royal family, there are 1-3 Jiugong-level powerhouses sitting in the town all the year round.

Mermaids have branches all over the world, and even some large lakes with good water quality have mermaids.

Like the orcs, how the mermaid tribe appeared is a historical issue, probably dating back to the old era, and it has become an unsolved mystery.

But at present, humans generally believe that the ancestors of the mermaid race first appeared in the depths of an ocean in the Tulip Empire.

Mermaids belong to the sub-human race.

As for the origin of the subhuman race, there is currently no authoritative conclusion in the world.

Some people think that they are the creations of beast spell masters, and they are all hybrid artificial races.

however.

There are also quite a few scholars who believe that they are actually severely mutated alien blood families. Because of some accident, after they entered the Liangyi form, they could not change back, and their descendants were also affected by this.

For example, the mermaid family.

Some scholars believe that, a long time ago, in the Old Era, there was a human with different blood in the Liangyi form, which was to let the legs turn into fish tails, grow gills, and gain a huge increase in combat power in the water.

However, due to some accident, he could not withdraw from the Liangyi form.

And the offspring he reproduced were born in the same way. Over time, branches and leaves spread, forming a mermaid clan.

This is of course inference.

It's just that there is actually more evidence for this inference than the "man-made theory of sub-human race".

Because it has four theoretical foundations.

1. Sub-humans can also practice different blood, and they also have the characteristics of different blood in their bodies.

For example, the mermaid family.

The four-element level of the human race, the fourth realm of martial arts cultivation, is to cultivate the limbs and spirit veins.

The mermaids also have divine veins in their bodies.

But they only have 3 limbs, the arms and the fish tail.

It's just that they have more divine veins in the tail part of their fish. After they are all connected, their physical strength is not inferior to humans who have opened up four divine veins.

And the centaur race, in this realm, is better than humans.

They have two arms and four horse legs, and a total of six divine veins.

At the five-element level, the sub-humans will also produce five-element internal organs.

The next few realms are similar to human beings.

2. Every sub-human race does not need to perform the ritual of adding different blood to the body, as they are born with different blood creatures.

Isn't this the alien blood family?
There is no need to add body with different blood when you are born, because your parents have it, so they also have it. You only need to wait for the age to awaken the different blood.

3. Subhuman races also have abilities, and they are fixed.

For example, the mermaid family.

The ability of every mermaid is to control water.

This is the different blood family, everyone in the same family has the same abilities.

4. Demi-humans can also appear conjurers.

Among demihumans, just like human beings, there will be cases where people are born with disabilities, have talent for spells, and can control laws... Well, of course, it depends on the situation.

For example, a mermaid without "legs" is still a healthy mermaid.

The attitude towards conjurers is almost the same in every demihuman race.

Those with the talent for conjuration are all tribal high priests with lofty status.

Therefore, for demihumans, the status of magicians is much higher than that of blood warriors.

It's the same in the mermaid family.

These four theoretical foundations make the statement that "subhuman races are severely mutated alien blood families" more credible than the "man-made theory of beast magicians".

It is also more acceptable to sub-races.

In fact.

On the other side of the Northern Mang Grassland, there are already several orc races who have publicly declared that they agree with this origin statement.

But more subhumans still disagree.

They believe that subhumans are subhumans, they are equal to human beings, they are all species that appeared in the world at the same time, and there is no such thing as who comes from whom.

It is worth mentioning that many sub-races will have the ability of "blood inheritance".

For example, the official language of the mermaid tribe is Western.

The reason is that for every mermaid whose king blood concentration reaches the standard, not long after birth, the first knowledge obtained from the "blood inheritance" is Western language.

The Western language in the weird world is the English in Li Guanqi's cognition.

It is estimated that the ancestors of the mermaid clan in the old era... should be humans living in Europe and America?

And Xiaoxue is an oriental artifact, and her memory has been sealed a lot, so it's no wonder that she couldn't understand what the two mermaids who came nearby just now said.

"Xiaoxue."

Li Guanqi said in his mind: "Those two mermaids you saw, do they look like humans from the upper body?"

"Barely have a human appearance."

Xiaoxue's soft voice sounded, "They both have gills on their faces, and although their upper bodies are human-shaped, they have green fish scales. They look disgusting. Oh yes, they both look so strong."

Fortunately.

Li Guanqi nodded slightly.

So ugly, it doesn't look like a big tribe at first glance.

In the region of the Eastern Ocean Islands, there are many, many mermaid tribes of varying strengths and weaknesses.

So which mermaid tribe did he come to?
"After the two mermaids saw me, they chatted for a few words and then left?"

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, "Xiaoxue, repeat to me the content of their chat, I can understand their language."

"Oh."

Xiaoxue quickly spoke a string of English words:
"Human?"

“Why is there a human being here?”

“Don't touch him yet. Let's go back and inform the captain.”

Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

The translation is estimated to be:

Humanity?

Why is there a human being here?
Don't touch him now, let's go back and inform the captain.

"..."

Li Guanqi looked around, looked at the vast ocean, and scratched his head.

run away?

"Kill silence."

He asked in his mind: "Is your unsealed object still alive?"

The magic knife quickly responded.

——I don’t know why, but after passing through the crack in space, my induction disappeared instead, as if the unsealed item didn’t... Hey!someone is coming!
Li Guanqi turned his head to look.

A thousand meters away, a group of mermaids holding tridents were flying towards them rapidly.

The leader was extremely strong, with a burly body, his face was covered with a layer of red fish scales, he was holding a golden trident, and he was wearing a crimson battle armor. Even the constantly swinging fish tail on his lower body was covered with a thick layer of armor.

【Three Talented Different Blood Mermaid】

And behind him, a full 10 mermaid warriors followed.

[Two instrument-level heterogeneous blood mermaid. 】

"Human!"

As soon as the mermaid captain came in front of Li Guanqi, he yelled arrogantly in Western language, and then continued to speak in Western language: "Where did you come from, and why did you appear in the territory of our Ai Li tribe?!"

Li Guanqi didn't reply immediately, but thought about it.

Mermaids are subhumans.

Among the demi-human races, conjurers are tribal high priests with a high status.

"Teng!"

"call--"

Thinking of this, Li Guanqi urged the sealing technique with all his strength to cover up his martial arts cultivation, and then opened his hands.

On the left hand, a ball of crimson fire burned, boiling the surrounding sea water.

In the right hand, there is a wind ball, rolling the sea water.

"Conjurer?!"

The three-talented mermaid captain on the opposite side was a little annoyed at the fact that he didn't reply for a long time, but now he was shocked when he saw this scene.

"You, what level of magician are you?!"

Captain Mermaid was a little uncertain about Li Guanqi's cultivation, looked at him respectfully, and asked in Western language.

"Four elephants."

Li Guanqi replied calmly.

It is worth mentioning that the word "Xiang" in the Sixiang level is exclusive to Oriental languages. It is not so complicated in Western languages, it is from level [-] to level [-], so the Western words he speaks actually represent level [-]. that word.

"..."

After the mermaid captain heard that he claimed to be a four-element class, he turned around and discussed with several mermaid warriors around him.

I'm discussing whether the four-element-level conjurer can help the "patriarch".

"Dear Master Conjurer."

In the end, Captain Mermaid looked at Li Guanqi, bowed his head respectfully, held the trident in his right hand, clenched his left hand into a fist, put it on his chest, and said in Western language: "I wonder if you could invite you to visit our Ai Li tribe. Maybe, we The patriarch has a problem and needs your help."

"Your patriarch?"

Li Guanqi frowned slightly, "I think I have read a lot of books, and I should not be ignorant, but the Ellie Mermaid Clan of the Eastern Islands? Sorry, I have never heard of this name... Wait!"

His face changed suddenly, "Don't tell me, I'm no longer in the Dongyang Islands?!"

"Of course it's still there."

Captain Mermaid smiled, "It's just that you haven't heard of our Ellie tribe. It's normal. After all, we migrated here last year. We have been very peaceful and haven't made any big noises. Naturally, we don't have much reputation. .”

Hearing this, Li Guanqi felt relieved.

"What trouble did your patriarch encounter?"

Li Guanqi asked.

"Her sacrificial vessel has been damaged."

Captain Mermaid had a serious expression on his red-scaled face.

she?
Li Guanqi frowned slightly.

There is no difference between "he" and "she" in Oriental.

But there is a difference in the pronunciation of "he" and "she" in Western languages. The captain of the mermaid obviously used the female she, and the patriarch of the Ellie tribe co-authored a female mermaid.

Of course it's a mermaid.

Looking at the monsters of this group of mermaids, it can be estimated that the blood concentration of the king of the Ellie tribe is not very good, and the women are also probably ugly, so they cannot be called mermaids at all.

"I am a conjurer."

Li Guanqi felt a little helpless, "Do you mermaids have any misunderstandings about us human conjurers? Not every conjurer is a craftsman, and your patriarch's sacrificial vessel is broken, what can I do? You should give me a few pointers to go ashore way, I'm leaving."

"You can help!"

The captain of the mermaid immediately became anxious when he heard this, "The patriarch said that she doesn't need a craftsman, but only a four-element to five-element magician, who can help her suppress the sacrificial vessel!"

"suppress?"

Li Guanqi was confused, "Isn't the sacrificial vessel broken? Why is the sacrificial vessel broken, can it be related to the word 'repression'? Or did I understand the meaning wrong? This word is not 'repression'?"

"That magic weapon..."

Captain Mermaid seemed to be struggling, not knowing whether to speak or not.

But in the end he gritted his teeth and said in Western language: "There is something wrong with our patriarch's sacrificial vessel, and he will often open space cracks uncontrollably and suck things from other places to the vicinity. Troll Whale, smashed our house down!"

"Um?!"

Li Guanqi's complexion changed slightly.

Dry!
The crack in the space that sucked him here was caused by that bastard mermaid patriarch? !

No wonder!
He just said, why there are space cracks appearing for no reason.

--Hey!

At this time, the thoughts of the magic knife suddenly appeared.

--I see!
——I know why when the space crack appears, I can feel the breath of the unsealed object, but when I pass through the space crack, after the space crack is closed, I can't feel the unsealed object.

——Because the thing used to open the space crack is my unsealed item!

——So when the space crack opens, I can feel its breath, and when the crack closes, my induction will be cut off.

——The mermaid patriarch!The damaged sacrificial vessel in her hand must be taken!

I see……

Li Guanqi suddenly realized.

"What is your patriarch's cultivation?"

Li Guanqi looked at Captain Mermaid.

"Our patriarch is the strongest of our Ellie tribe, and also serves as our tribe's priest. He is a five-element-level spellcaster."

The mermaid captain respectfully replied.

"Lead the way."

Li Guanqi nodded slightly.

The Five Elements level can't threaten him, not to mention that he is really interested in the mermaid clan. Although he is not the "mermaid clan" with strong royal blood, it is okay to join in the fun in the past and see something fresh.

Not to mention, maybe he can trigger some new system tasks?
"My lord, this way please!"

The captain of the mermaid got Li Guanqi's consent, and was overjoyed immediately. He turned around excitedly, swung his tail and swam away.

The few mermaid soldiers around him were also extremely excited. There were even two younger mermaid soldiers who started whispering to each other about which mermaid girl to have fun with after they got promoted.

Li Guanqi listened with a strange expression on the side.

Kiln.

This is a facility that will never disappear in any era, in any intelligent race.

Maybe it will change its name, and the "staff" inside will change, but it will never disappear.

It's just that Li Guanqi took a closer look at the few mermaids beside him, wondering what they were going to use for their work...

Swimming all the way.

On the way, Li Guanqi also learned why they were so excited through chatting.

The matriarch of the Ellie tribe, her sacrificial vessel was damaged two months ago. At that time, she sent a team of mermaids to the nearest island kingdom, and asked human four-element and five-element magicians to help.

But to do things, you need money.

This Ai Li tribe is extremely poor, and the mermaids' king blood concentration is not high, and they are not good-looking, so they are not mermaids in the eyes of humans at all.

Want money but no money, want sex but no color.

Which human conjurer is willing to come all the way to the bottom of the sea to work for you in vain?
So after two months, the mermaids sent out didn't even bring a four-level conjurer, but brought a third-level one, but their strength was too low to help.

So the mermaid patriarch said, which mermaid can bring a four-element-level or five-element-level conjurer, and he will be promoted directly...Of course, he must rely on his own ability to invite them here.

In Li Guanqi's view, isn't this just an empty-handed white wolf?
But he didn't care either.

After all, when he came to help, he didn't want any reward from the mermaid tribe, he just wanted the sacrificial vessel suspected to be the unsealed magic knife.

and so.

How should he speak?

Li Guanqi followed behind Captain Mermaid, stroking his chin while swimming, lost in thought.

Is it possible to tell the mermaid patriarch:

Hello, I helped you repair your sacrificial vessel, so can you give me this sacrificial vessel now?
... This is not nonsense!
