"So General Feng, what you mean is that after the Pig World and the Blue Star World merged, some of the strange beasts in the water underwent some changes and gained intelligence, and evolved into humanoids???"
When Ye Ning arrived at the General's Mansion in Zhennan, Nanhai City, Feng Zhengxiong was already standing outside the door waiting for him, and told him the situation here as soon as he saw him.
As expected, Ye Ning was surprised after hearing Feng Zhengxiong's words.
Feng Zhengxiong had a strange smile on his face, as if he knew that Ye Ning would be surprised. "That's right. To be more precise, it's not the monsters in the water that have changed. In fact, some of the monsters on land have also been affected. According to my speculation, this is probably a special rule of the pig world. Speaking of which, this seems to be the reason why the pig tribe appeared. After the two worlds merged, some of these rules were integrated into our world."
Ye Ning scratched his head and said again: "In that case, can we still call it a beast? Normally, if it has intelligence, it can produce civilization, this..."
Feng Zhengxiong waved his hand and said, "Forget about civilization. Unless we vigorously support them and constantly guide them, it is impossible for these guys who have just begun to evolve to have their own civilization. Now they either integrate into our civilization or be exterminated.
Actually, those on land are relatively easy to deal with, whether it's fighting or absorbing. It's just that those in the sea are more troublesome. Although our breathing ability has been transformed into innate after we reach the Venerable Realm, and we can breathe even underwater, we are land creatures after all, and it is very inconvenient to fight in the water.
Even with powerful underwater combat cards, it is difficult to wipe out all the evolved sea creatures.
By the way, the Sea Clan is the name for the creatures that have awakened their intelligence in the ocean. There are so many creatures in the ocean, so the treatment of the Sea Clan is different from that of the mutated humanoids on land."
hiss!
My goodness, after hearing what Feng Zhengxiong said, Ye Ning also felt the tricky part.
Looking at the endless sea ahead, Ye Ning didn't know what to do for a moment.
Just as he was thinking about it, Feng Zhengxiong beside him suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, kid, you really want to find a solution seriously? Don't waste your energy. This kind of thing is not something you, a young boy, need to consider. In fact, I am too lazy to think about it. Let the people above do these troublesome things. We only need to execute them when the time comes."
Feng Zhengxiong’s words made Ye Ning stunned, but then he reacted.
Gan!
As soon as I arrived, I heard such explosive news that I was frightened by Feng Zhengxiong.
Although he has joined the military now, he currently does not hold any position. His military rank is only major general after he reached the Venerable Realm. But even so, it is not his turn to worry about such things.
Didn’t you see that Feng Zhengxiong, the great general who guards the south, doesn’t bother with such things?
"Okay, don't think too much. I asked you to come here because I wanted you to see some of the sea creatures. Some of them are quite interesting."
Feng Zhengxiong put his arm around Ye Ning's shoulders and pulled him towards the general's mansion.
After passing through the main entrance, Feng Zhengxiong brought Ye Ning to a place similar to a conference room, but there was no conference table here at the moment.
There was an extra-large fish tank where the conference table should have been. At this moment, two extremely familiar yet unfamiliar creatures were staying in the fish tank.
Their eyes were full of anxiety and fear. Seeing Feng Zhengxiong and Ye Ning coming in, they moved immediately and hid behind a rockery in the fish tank.
Looking at the big fish tank in the conference room, Ye Ning's eyes widened instantly, and he shouted: "Mermaid???"
Feng Zhengxiong: "This is one of the sea creatures I found here. They are exactly the same as the mermaids in the legends. They are not brainless monsters, but real humanoids. However, because they have just appeared, they have no civilization of their own, no writing, and naturally cannot sing.
Of course, I have arranged for people to teach them to speak, but these two guys are too timid and always hide when they are a little scared. The teaching progress is average, but their IQ is not low. Now they can barely speak some of our Qin language. "
Looking at the two "mermaids" hiding, Ye Ning frowned slightly: "Are you sure these are sea creatures and not new monsters?"
Feng Zhengxiong nodded and said, "Sure. You know, no matter if they are alien beasts, monsters or demons, their biggest commonality is that they have crystal cores in their bodies, but these sea creatures don't have such a thing. Moreover, these guys, like the sea creatures in other worlds, can use a special energy to control the power of the ocean."
Listening to Feng Zhengxiong's words, Ye Ning looked at him in surprise: "General Feng, have you ever met other sea creatures?"
Feng Zhengxiong nodded: "In fact, there are sea people in other worlds, and there are more than one world. In the battlefield of the heavens, these sea people are very strong. The strongest sea people world can even be ranked in the top 20. Especially in the places with water in the battlefield of the heavens, they have an absolute advantage. Even the top ten worlds cannot compete with them for underwater resources.
I have encountered those guys before in the battlefield of the heavens. They are similar to the sea creatures that appeared on our Blue Star."
Ye Ning: "Speaking of which, General Feng, where did you catch these two mermaids?"
“I discovered them when I was patrolling at sea some time ago. I was actually shocked at first, thinking that Blue Star had been invaded. Later, I discovered that they seemed to be different from the sea people in the battlefield of the heavens. They were more primitive and quite backward. When they encountered our ship, they directly attacked it. But to be honest, the gap between their strength and that of the sea people in the battlefield of the heavens was too big. We almost easily dealt with them, killed some of them, and captured most of them.
The mermen were sent to the research institute, and the two mermaids were sent to me after some blood was drawn.
What's that look in your eyes? Don't think too much, it's not some messy reason.
We have all entered modern society. Since it has been confirmed that this is a new intelligent race, they will definitely not buy and sell things casually, even if they are not civilized.
The main reason why they only killed those with fish heads and human bodies was because these two seemed to be able to lead and control them, that is, they were the leaders.
Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that they are mermaids. After all, we have heard related stories when we were young. Even many card players who are good at water battles have cards similar to mermaids. So when we met these sea creatures at that time, we still held back on them.
More importantly, these two mermaids will need to be sent to the imperial capital after I teach them how to speak."
At this point, Feng Zhengxiong paused for a moment, and then continued, "Speaking of which, the research institute has actually discovered something recently. The bloodlines of murlocs and mermaids are very similar, but mermaids seem to be more advanced than murlocs. They seem to be born with good spellcasting abilities. Relying on the special energies in their bodies that are close to star power but completely different, their strength can even compete with card masters of the same level.
Don't be fooled by the cute and silly appearance of these two mermaids. In fact, it's because this fish tank is specially made. It has a special seal effect engraved on it, which temporarily makes them lose their ability to cast spells. When I caught them before, they were very fierce. "This is the second time that Ye Ning has heard "special energy" from Feng Zhengxiong. It is probably a kind of existence similar to the Buddha power and Tao power in his body.
Even if it's not, it's probably close.
If that is true, then these sea creatures probably have a lot to do with mythology.
You should know that this special energy that directly uses one's own strength to fight is a product of the mythological era. At that time, various power systems flourished, but after all the myths entered the end of the long river of time, these power systems almost disappeared. In the following era, the card power system became the only system for almost all races in the heavens and the worlds.
Apart from the card system, all other powers are related to the backup plans left by some myths.
For example, Buddha's power is the backup plan left by the Buddhas of Lingshan. Although Ye Ning has not had much contact with the core of Mahayana Buddhism, he does not know what the specific backup plan is, but there must be something special.
The power of Tao can be regarded as the backup of the Great Celestial Lord. The [Ceremony of Destiny] left behind by the Great Celestial Lord directly utilized the characteristics of the Supreme Celestial Lord to open up this power for Ye Ning.
While thinking about these things, Ye Ning came to another place under the guidance of Feng Zhengxiong.
Nanhai Research Institute.
The main laboratory here also has a large fish tank, in which there are more than a dozen fishmen, and each one is different, big and small, and in all shapes and sizes.
In addition to those in the fish tank, some fishmen were tied to beds. There were researchers running around everywhere, some drawing blood, some doing tests.
The entire institute seems full of energy.
After all, it was the first time that a new intelligent race appeared native to the Blue Planet, so naturally these scholars flocked to it.
Ye Ning could imagine that at this moment there must be many researchers rushing from all over the world to the coastal cities where the sea people were discovered, in order to start studying these little cuties as soon as possible.
"In fact, they caught more than just these merman, there are hundreds more. The research institute only kept one of each type of merman, and the others were all locked up in a makeshift sea prison built by the sea."
After hearing Feng Zhengxiong's explanation, Ye Ning finally understood why every fishman here was different.
It turns out that they were specially selected.
After touring the research institute for a while and learning a lot of information about the sea people, Feng Zhengxiong took Ye Ning away from the research institute.
“Well, although everything depends on the attitude towards the sea people discussed above, I guess our empire will most likely try its best to recruit these sea people, brainwash them or integrate them into our empire, and grant them the rights of imperial citizens.
You should know that there are many places with water in the universe. Although it is not like our world which is mostly water, it still occupies at least one-third of the place.
In the past, we usually ignored the opportunities we encountered in places with water, but now it’s different with the sea creatures.
Especially now that our world has entered the top 20 and become the upper realm, although the strength and luck have greatly increased, it has relatively become a new focus. Even if the luck is greatly increased, it does not mean that snatching opportunities will necessarily be easier than before.
Therefore, if we can win over the sea tribe, then things will be much easier for us.
Besides, how should I put it? The sea creatures we are facing now are actually weak. As the integration between the Pig World and Blue Star continues to increase, there will inevitably be more powerful sea beasts, monsters and demons that will become sea creatures. There is no point in fighting each other in the same world, especially in this special period. "
Ye Ning didn't say anything, he just nodded.
“Forget it. These are not things we should care about. There’s no point in talking about them all the time. I’ve shown you the fishmen and the mermen, and it’s time for you to see me too.
I heard about what you are going to do now. I protected you in the past. Please don't forget me when I helped you with the card making."
Listening to Feng Zhengxiong's words, Ye Ning smiled, and then opened his Sky Eye: "Don't worry, General Feng, I came here with this plan."
Under the Sky Eye, a phantom appeared on Feng Zhengxiong's body. Feeling the power of the phantom, Ye Ning was a little surprised.
It turned out to be one of the Five Great Emperors of the Nanyue Hengshan, the Sitian Zhaosheng Emperor!
This person is an extremely powerful being in mythology in terms of both status and power, and is definitely a leader among the higher myths.
Obviously, although Feng Zhengxiong is slightly lacking in talent, normally if nothing unexpected happens, his strength has already reached its peak.
But his luck seems to be quite good. Being able to match the mythical level of the Five Great Emperors, he has the possibility of breaking through the upper limit of his talent.
Feeling the power of Ye Ning's shining eye between his brows, Feng Zhengxiong asked expectantly, "How is it?"
"Very strong! General Feng is very lucky. Not only can he match it, but he is also a very powerful myth."
Hearing Ye Ning's words, Feng Zhengxiong grinned and laughed: "Okay, okay, kid, tell me quickly what materials you need to prepare? I tell you, I broke through to the peak of the Venerable Realm many years ago. Since then, I have never lacked resources, but there is basically no room for improvement. I can hardly compare with those old guys of my generation who are still alive. But when it comes to collecting, I am definitely not bad. After all, I don't have much to use!"
Listening to Feng Zhengxiong's words, Ye Ning nodded, and then began to think about the materials needed by the Emperor of Tian Zhaosheng of Nanyue Hengshan. (End of this chapter)
