Baxian Hotel

The ancestors of the Huang were all generations of the Dan People s. They lived in an unfixed place, with the boat as their home. When they were hungry, they would go fishing in the sea, and when they were thirsty, they would depend on the rain. Usually, when he went ashore to pick up some things, he would use the Sea Grain Pearl to exchange for some money. When a man dies, throw him into the sea, or bury him shallowly on the shore, and let the wild dog eat the body. The government also did not recognize these people and did not register them. The fishermen on the shore also discriminated against them, and other than a few pearl dealers, no one wanted to meet them. Even if they met pirates, they could only beat their front teeth and swallow it down.

Later on, there was a man surnamed Wu who negotiated with these patriarchs of the Dan People, and was willing to support these two hundred odd Dan People s. The condition was only one, and the pearls she harvested could only be sold to one of them. The Old Patriarch felt heartache for these juniors who could not eat or drink, and who could not cover themselves with clothes. Even though he knew that the price this Wu fellow offered was not high, he still agreed wholeheartedly.

The Dan People would go down to the ocean to gather pearls every day. Aside from offering to the Sea Tiger, they gave the rest of the beads to the Wu Family. The Wu Family people kept their promises, and every month, they would drive the large carriage to bring the living necessities to the shore. But as the sun rose, the appetite for the Wu Family grew. He felt that the color of the pearls the Dan People s harvested was not too far from that of the other pearls, so he wanted a bigger and better pearl. If they could not harvest it, then they would have to break the supply provided by the Dan People.

Now, it would be difficult for the Dan People s to die. There were only a few places in the sea that could produce pearls, and there were also big pearl clams in the deep sea, but that was not something a human could do. Wu Family at first did not believe it, but after following the Dan People s out of the ocean a few times, they finally agreed. But after a few months, Wu Family suddenly asked the Dan People s for twenty each of men and women, asking for some good aquatic help. At that time, the Dan People only had around two hundred to three hundred people, and the forty strong men and women were almost half of the total labour force. But since the Wu Family had such a request, they agreed to return in half a month, and also promised to double the food and fresh water. But once these forty people left, they never came back. Not just them, even the people from Wu Family had never appeared again.

Three or four months later, a Dan People who had gone into the sea to collect pearls came back, and hurriedly told the Patriarch that he had seen a monster underwater. That monster had a human body and fish tail, swimming extremely quickly in the water, and it had gone deep underwater.

Hearing this, the Patriarch did not dare to hesitate, he pulled out a small boat and brought a few experts to that place. Even if he could not find Wu Family, he had to save his own people and figure out what was going on.

Two days later, the family head and his group of five were led to the pearl gathering grounds by the Dan People. The clan leader hid the boat well and sent people to take turns to wait in the water. That night, he found traces of the monster, and there were more than one.

According to the people in the water, he was guarding behind a reef. When he heard the sound of water entering the water, he immediately followed. After diving into the water, he found that there were two monsters with human tails swimming extremely fast in front of him. He tried his best to follow them to a depth of 20 to 30 meters, but he was no longer able to go down.

"They really aren't humans. They're too scary. There's at least fifty to sixty meters of them. That depth isn't something that a human can go down to." The tribesman's face was filled with terror.

The patriarch asked, "Did you see his face clearly? Are you one of our people? "

The clansman nodded. "I didn't see their faces clearly, but when we first entered the water, we did see the Sea Tiger tattoo on one of their legs. They should be our people."

"We have to find out what's going on."

This was a reef that had formed more than ten small islands. These few Dan People s were located at the north side of this island, the biggest island was in the southwest, right opposite to them. When the sun set, the clan leader ordered a man to watch the boat. He and others secretly made their way to the island.

The so-called 'big island' was actually only able to be walked around for an hour or so. However, the island was craggy and craggy, which created a good condition for him to explore and hide things. As soon as the clan leader and his men arrived at the island, they discovered a cave by the sea. The cave was wide open and there was no one guarding it. No one would have thought that the people in the cave would discover such a place.

The chief was entering the cave when he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing. He hurriedly hid behind the reef and carefully observed it. After a few minutes, the two so-called "monsters" appeared at the entrance of the cave with a basket in their hands. Both of them had the tail of a human fish.

When they were almost to the cave entrance, two people came out with torches in their hands. They lashed the two monsters with their whips without saying anything and cursed. They were probably thinking that they had come back too late and missed their rest.

The light from the torches the two of them held illuminated the monster's appearance. The Patriarch, who was hiding behind the reef, had tears streaming down his face.

He could see very clearly that one of the "monsters" was one of the forty tribesmen.

The clan leader tried his best to control his emotions. After the four people had entered the cave for a while, he called for his clansmen to slowly touch the cave. The hole was very big, and there were some obvious traces of manmade things around the corner. It must have been made on a natural basis.

The five of them carefully walked along the cave wall for more than ten minutes before they finally saw a faint glow of light. The clan leader pressed his body against the ground and slowly crawled over. Everything before him made him feel fear and trepidation.

There was a huge open space at the corner. There was a huge tent in the middle of the open area. There were shadows moving inside it. It should be a meeting place. The open space was divided into two parts. On one side was a row of windowless houses, which were presumably warehouses. Beside this row of houses, there were more than ten rooms that were a lot more exquisite. They should be for the living quarters. On the other side was a row of iron cages. Inside the cages were the 'monsters' with human and fish tails. The ones above the waist are all human bodies, and from the waist onwards, they have become thick fishtails. It was sewn between the human body and the fish tail with a thick black thread. It looked strange and terrifying. Under the illumination of the fire, the 'monsters' laid dispirited inside the cage. There was not the slightest bit of life in their eyes, only despair and helplessness. The chief clearly recognized that at least half of these 'monsters' were his people!

The chief suppressed his emotions and carefully observed for a while. There were roughly a dozen people inside the tent. The five of them definitely wouldn't be able to deal with them. They could only go back and call for reinforcements. Just as the patriarch was leading his men out of the cave, one of the clansmen accidentally stepped on a shell. The sound of the shell breaking was extremely clear in the cave. Not far away, there were people rushing out of a large tent.

"Run ~ ~ Don't worry about me ~ Bring people back to save me ~ ~ ~" The clansman who had his leg pierced through shouted loudly. At the same time, he pulled out the clam knife from his waist and sat on the ground while glaring at the tent.

Just as the chief was about to bring him along, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Without even looking at what it was, it sliced lightly across the ground and the body of the injured member was cut off at the waist!

"Patriarch, leave quickly!" One of the clansmen shouted out and rushed towards the black shadow, while the other two clansmen carried their clan leader and ran.

When they reached the cave entrance, the black shadow caught up with them again. The third clan member pulled out his clam knife and rushed forward without a word.

The chief and the last member of his family ran to the seaside. The chief kowtowed to them and pulled out his sabre. Then, he turned around to face the black shadow that was chasing them. The moment the chief jumped into the sea, he could clearly see that there were two corpses on the legs of the black shadow. The two corpses were only left with half of their bodies, but they were still tightly hugging onto the legs of the black shadow.

Dan People was home to one sea, once the clan leader jumped into the sea, he would truly become a fish that returned to the ocean, and would no longer be afraid of anyone. Swiftly swimming back to the boat, he ordered his clansmen to quickly launch the boat back to the clan. He wanted to avenge himself!

Half a month later, the Patriarch contacted a few nearby Dan People Tribes and gathered close to a thousand people. They majestically surrounded the small island with Wu Family, vowing to drown the entire clan in the vast ocean, to avenge their clan!

Standing alone at the entrance of the cave, he talked to over a thousand Dan People without any hesitation. He did not deny the fact that he had turned some Dan People into monsters, but he also made it very clear that even if he were to hand them over to Dan People now, the Dan People would not be able to keep them alive. As compensation, Wu Family could provide for the Dan People s for twenty years, and at the same time, buy the pearls that the Dan People s gathered according to the market price.

The few clan leaders who were invited were excited, they did not have any clansmen tied up to cast their evil arts, and now, just by coming here, they had received twenty years of support. This was a great benefit to the Dan People s who risked their lives for stuttering everyday. She had originally thought that she could avenge his clan and seek justice for them, but she didn't expect that the helper she had found would now turn into a lobbyist and she would become the one who didn't know her place. After returning to the clan, she was unable to recover from her illness, and in a month or two, she returned. Leaving behind the last words before dying, any member of the Huang Family must not forget the hatred they had towards Wu Family. At the same time, they must do everything in their power to keep a close eye on the Wu Family, so as to prevent them from plotting something bigger.

With this piece of paper, the grudge between the Huang Family's Dan People and Wu Family was opened. And after the Dan People received the support of the Wu Family, the legend of a "Sea Lady" with a human body and fish tail slowly began to circulate in the sea.
