Now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, there is still no conclusion about what will happen in the future, but the tribe is already on the verge of collapse because of the sea monster. No matter how bright the future is, it cannot be worth the help of the moment.
Facing the silence of many discussion elders, the Great Elder finally made a final decision: "Since the Third Elder proposed so, let's do it over there."
At this moment, a slightly out-of-centred voice sounded: "But... Didn't the Xun family girl say that there is another real person?"
Before the First Elder could speak, the Third Elder had already sneered: "The girl will believe whatever the Fifth Elder says? How about the old man who said that there is another Master who is willing to protect my tribe?"
Although it was just an impossible assumption, the Great Elder still couldn't help but fantasize about that scene.
——If there is really a master who provides shelter... No, even just accidentally mentioning the existence of their mermaid tribe, even without any statement, the weight of this "accidental mention" alone is enough to make their tribe Walk sideways in 36 islands.
At that time, the sea monsters in the early stage of golden core, I am afraid that they will be strangled by those real people if they can't even get close, and they will be closer to each other.
It's a pity that fantasies can only be fantasies after all, and it is even more unacceptable to compare with the cruel reality at present.
"That's enough, the two elders don't want to argue anymore."
After stopping the conflict between the Third Elder and the Fifth Elder, the First Elder said in a calm tone: "Some time ago, the sea monster had not been persecuted. At this time, the old man went to Biyun Island to ask the monks of the Business Alliance stationed on the island. There are no new real people appearing, and some real people who have not been heard of it have stepped into this place."
"With the character of the girl from the Xun family, she wouldn't be able to cheat. Presumably, she mistook a late-stage Foundation Establishment or fake alchemy cultivator for a real person."
——A foundation-building cultivator can be treated so seriously by Rong Zhenren?And the strongest person in the tribe at that time, the strength of the fake alchemy realm was also there, couldn't he see it?
Having said that, the Fifth Elder still kept his mouth shut after seeing the Great Elder and all the other council elders nodding in agreement.
Originally, the Fifth Elder didn't have a good impression of the Xun family girl who caused this trouble, and the reason why she spoke was only because she was worried that she would secretly hate another real person because of this matter. This mermaid tribe is a good fruit to eat, so he reminded him aloud, since the elders have already made a decision, why should he do such an eye-catching thing?
Thinking up to this point, the Fifth Elder simply closed his eyes and put on a gesture of no longer participating.
Seeing this, the third elder sneered again with disdain, then turned his head to look at the first elder and said, "First elder, I will leave this matter to the old man. I have a messenger flying sword given by a disciple of a real person in my hand. As long as you entrust this person After clarifying this matter and telling the real person, the real person must naturally take action to expel the sea monster after extinguishing his anger, and restore the old view."
The First Elder nodded: "In that case, then please leave this matter to the Third Elder."
-------------
After dispersing from the conference hall, the third elder hurried to his residence, took out a carefully hidden box from a hidden place, and pinched a few spells.
Accompanied by the infusion of thin mana, a dark green flying sword floated up and was held by the third elder.
Gently stroking the flying sword, the third elder suddenly shouted to the outside: "What are you doing hiding outside, come in quickly!"
379. Disposal
Pushing open the door, Zha Feiyu came to the third elder, his father, with a shy face, while carefully observing his expression, and after confirming how much anger there was, he said, "Father, do you need me?"
"You kid is looking for me, right?"
"You're still too smart to know about the girl from the Xun family..."
After snorting angrily, the third elder reluctantly handed the flying sword into Zha Feiyu's hands: "This matter has been negotiated, just let little friend Linghu come over and take her away later."
Zha Feiyu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after receiving the dark green flying sword, he swore repeatedly: "I promise to fulfill your old orders. Brother Linghu has been looking forward to this day for a long time. I thought that the girl of the Xun family would practice for the cauldron, and she would cultivate in the future. You have made great progress, and in the future, after inheriting the mantle of Daoist, you will definitely think well of my father and son—”
The third elder scolded with a smile: "What about my father and son, it is better for the tribe."
"Hey, yes, yes, look at my mouth, it should be slapped, it should be slapped."
With smiles on their faces, the father and son discussed the matter again. After finishing the details, they were about to leave, but when they turned around, they almost ran into a figure.
"—Who are you?!"
Throwing away the glass cup in his hand, because of the sea water, he didn't break it directly, but swam in the water for a while before sinking slowly and safely.
Feeling the completely different environment from the ground, Lin Xiu turned his head to look at the astonished Yuren father and son: "Are you finished talking?"
"you--"
Before Cha Feiyu could finish speaking, the Third Elder who realized something had already pushed it away with a pale face, and was about to kneel on the ground head-on, but it was a pity that he couldn't complete this action, and was oppressed by a powerful spiritual pressure Restrained can no longer move the slightest.
"I saw the urgent reminder in the letter. I originally wanted to come over and deal with that sea monster first, and then go to Biyun Island to see what fellow Taoist Rong is up to, but I didn't expect to see a good show. .”
As he was talking, Lin Xiu's attention was not on the opposite side at all, which was only in the early stage of foundation establishment - and there were faint signs of regressing in cultivation, but more on himself and his surroundings.
It's amazing.
Even though we are under the sea thousands of feet deep, but only relying on a "water-avoiding pearl" worth less than [-] spirit stones and a "water-dispelling method" priced at less than [-] spirit stones, we can feel like we are on land. Move freely as above.
This is more than that, it is difficult to transmit the sound under the sea surface, even if it is transmitted, it is vague, but under the synergy of the two, there is almost no difference from the communication on the ground.
For this mystery alone, it is not too much to sell the "water-avoiding beads" and "water-dispelling method" for [-] to [-] spirit stones, but the business alliance seems to be unaware of the value inside. When I went to Zhenhai City to inquire, the man almost slipped it directly into Lin Xiu's hand and gave it away for nothing.
From the perspective of the business alliance, it is absolutely impossible for such a situation where the real price of the item cannot be measured. After thinking about it, the root cause of this scene is estimated to be that.
Just like Lin Xiu’s "platform war" before time travel, in the initial stage of a market, it is more important to cultivate user habits and win more users than short-term benefits. Only the sickle for cutting leeks can be swung firmly and powerfully.
The same is true for the move of the Merchant Alliance. The value of the "Water-avoiding Pearl" and "Water-Expelling Law" alone is indeed high, but if the price is really raised to a level that ordinary monks cannot afford, how can there be so many people who will continue to follow suit? A monk who participated in the exploration of the East China Sea?
It is estimated that this "threshold" alone will wipe out [-]% of the monks.
Rather than now, even a qi training monk can afford the "people-friendly" price as long as he works hard to accumulate for a period of time in the late stage of qi training.
But these low-level monks who think they have made a lot of money don't know that the money they make is destined to be "compensated" thousands of times in the future... It is said that free things are the most expensive. It seems that in the world of cultivating immortals Things that ask for money are also "expensive", on both levels.
Withdrawing his divergent thoughts, Lin Xiu looked at the two mermaids in front of him again, thinking about how to deal with them, but also curious about their current state.
They are the same sharks, but when Xun Geya and other sharks were on land, except for the scales and fin-like ears on the body surface, they have the same body structure as ordinary people. After entering the sea, the sharks The lower body of her body turned into a fishtail shape again—yes, that's the kind of "mermaid".
However, there are "mermaids", and the word "beauty" still varies from person to person.
At least the two in front of Lin Xiu: one is very old, the other is potbellied, even with a very exotic fish tail, but compared to the "water spirit" in Lin Xiu's impression... his eyes are hot.
"Forget it, this kind of thing should be resolved internally by you."
Step aside, revealing the merman girl behind her——it was Xun Geya who sent the letter before, after casting a grateful gaze at Lin Xiu, she turned to look at Lin Xiu with hatred and disgust. Face Cha Feiyu and his son.
Lin Xiu didn't pay any attention to the later development, but left the residence deep in the water, and used his spiritual sense to browse around and observe the mermaid tribe.
Strictly speaking, this should be the third race that Lin Xiu has come into contact with since he came to this world, apart from the human race and the demon race. Many times, the mermaids are classified as between the sea monster and the demon race, but as far as Lin Xiu observed There are still quite differences between the two.
At least except that they live in the deep sea, the living habits of the mermaids are closer to the human race than the blood-drinking monster race. This is probably related to the immortal cultivation power that created the mermaids. After all, as a human race, they probably don’t like the ones they created Things don't know how to be polite, they only know how to eat, drink, and scatter... Regarding this aspect, Lin Xiu feels that he still has a little right to speak.
"Goya thanked the real person! The kindness of a real person is hard to repay in this life, and Goya would like to—"
"I won't say much if it's false."
Interrupting the words of Xun Geya who didn't know when to leave that room, Lin Xiu didn't want to pay attention to the situation inside, but went straight to the point: "If you have anything else you want to do here, just deal with it at once. I may not have time to come back after that.”
The merman girl had a troubled expression on her face, and she gritted her teeth for a while: "Except for the third elder, the other elders have their own reasons for thinking. Goya will prove it with his own actions in the future."
"I only ask for the mercy of the real person, and drive away the sea monster that peeped at the tribe!"
He raised his eyebrows, since Lin Xiu had said so even the Lord, he naturally had no reason to refuse, and with a wave of his hand, he encircled the merman girl into the aura, and moved towards the place not far away where the evil spirit was strong.
380. Xiuxian's Shanzhai Version "Peaceful Evolution" Supplement 1/2
On the way, Lin Xiu suddenly asked Xun Geya about her tribal situation out of curiosity.
According to Lin Xiu's spiritual perception before, the number of merman tribe she belongs to is no more than three hundred, but the number of elders is as many as seventeen.
It doesn't matter if there are a lot of people, but the cultivation base is generally weak. At least it is not a problem for Xun Geya in the middle stage of foundation establishment to rush in and hit five. No stress at all.
In this case, the fake Danyu people don’t even have the qualifications to participate in the discussion. Even Xun Geya’s “potential stock” has been easily determined in the future. According to the development trend just now, if Lin Xiu didn’t catch up If it comes, maybe it will really start towards the lifan mode that I like to hear and see.
Xun Geya didn't hide his doubts about Lin Xiu, but confessed the origin of the rules.
"It has been a long-standing practice for the Merman tribe to set up elders to discuss matters, participate in and make decisions, but the number of elders in the past was not so large, and the selection of elders was not simply based on age, but on the basis of popularity. and cultivation."
"But after contacting the Shangmeng, the real person of the Shangmeng once said that such an approach is unfair to the majority of mermaids and does not conform to the business philosophy of the Shangmeng, so they asked us to change our old habits..."
"Since then, not only Goya's tribe, but also all the mermaid tribes that have contacts with the Merchant Alliance and accept the protection of real people from the Merchant Alliance have done the same."
Lin Xiu didn't feel anything at first, but the more he heard it, the more something was wrong.
In the end, I suddenly realized: Damn it, isn’t this the Xiuxian’s copycat version of “Peaceful Evolution”?
On the surface, it is for the other party's benefit. You see how fair and just, more people participate in the decision-making and express their opinions, but in reality?
In this world of cultivating immortals where great power belongs to oneself, the individual with the highest military power not only has no right to participate in the slightest, but is even constrained by power, which will inevitably breed dissatisfaction in the long run. The old relationship is over, and you still expect the other party to treat the tribe sincerely?
Taking Xun Geya as an example, it is estimated that after this move, it is absolutely impossible for her to obey the tribal elders like before. This simple method will reduce the unity of the mermaid tribe, and even cause enemies. , but he himself does not need to pay a small price... Compared with dispatching a large number of monks every year to hunt and annihilate those merman tribes with rebellious intentions, this invisible soft knife is called ruthless.
Of course, in the terms of the business alliance, this should be called "efficiency".
After knowing the origin and past of the situation, Lin Xiu's vigilance against the huge organization of the Chamber of Commerce rose by dozens of percentage points in his heart, and he decided not to provoke the other party unless necessary.
Compared with those straight-forward enemies before, this kind of powerful and "open-minded" organization is simply not at the same level of danger. At least in Wanghai Territory, Lin Xiu can't imagine that if he really provokes Shang How to continue to stay after the alliance.
"arrive."
Less than a few miles away from the merman tribe, Lin Xiu's spiritual sense caught the thing patrolling nearby.
The situation described by Xun Geya is almost the same as before. This sea monster has indeed targeted the tribe, and its range of activities is almost limited to its adjacent area. Originally, with the appetite of a sea monster of this level, such a small "hunting ground" probably has not yet been released. The only way is to eat enough, but it still does it.
"Has anyone in your tribe recently done something that might anger this sea monster?"
Xun Geya shook his head vigorously: "As a mermaid living in this sea area, the clansmen know very well what we can touch and what we can't provoke. No one would dare to offend such an existence."
"That's weird."
The consciousness was locked on the sea monster, and it seemed that it had noticed something abnormal. The sea monster that originally played the game by rules suddenly slowed down and swayed its body irritably.
"—How did this bastard with little intelligence focus on you?"
It is not an insult to describe this sea monster with such words as a beast without intelligence.
Just like the monster clan on land has monsters without spiritual intelligence and demon generals who have transformed into monsters, they are all monsters, and the difference in spiritual intelligence is not reasonable except for cultivation. Among them, there are those who are "more intelligent than monsters" , There are also many "stupid as pigs".
In the same way, there are also distinctions in the siren.
It is not to say that every sea monster with a strong cultivation base can transform into a form to produce a spiritual intelligence that is not inferior to ordinary people. In the vast East Sea, except for those monster races that have transformed into forms, there are quite a few who cannot transform into forms, and their body size is still small. With the expansion of the sea monster's cultivation base.
In the ancient repair period, these monsters that could not be transformed were given another name by the monks: fierce beasts.
It's just that as the aura declines, these "vicious beasts" can no longer be "vicious", so they are classified into the category of sea monsters. However, they cannot be underestimated because of this, at least compared with monks of the same level, these "vicious beasts" are huge, rough-skinned and thick-skinned. In addition to being unable to display supernatural powers, the sea monster still has a lot of advantages over monks of the same realm, and it is even more difficult to cope with the geographical advantage of living in the deep sea.
Even if that real person Rong from Biyun Island made a move, he would have to think carefully about dealing with such a sea monster, and the most he could do would be to expel it. It is almost impossible to seriously injure or even kill him in the deep sea.
Even Rong Di, who has the water spirit root and practiced the water method, is like this, let alone Lin Xiu, the fake sword cultivator with the golden fire spirit root, who can display five strengths in this thousand-foot water depth. The achievements are not bad. The most powerful "Dongfeng" series of flying swords don't even have room to use them, and they will lose [-]% of their power by the depth of the water.
Under such circumstances, Lin Xiu naturally would not use such an inefficient method to deal with the sea monster.
After finding nothing abnormal on the sea monster, and letting Xun Geya wait in the distance, Lin Xiu used his spiritual sense to stir the spiritual energy under the water, stirring up waves.
Such a move is naturally impossible to produce any lethal ability to the sea monster who is proficient in water, but it is extremely insulting. Even if it perceives that the strength of this spiritual consciousness is beyond the ordinary, it can be regarded as a low-spirited person who thinks he has been "insulted/provoked". "The sea monster immediately flicked its tail and attacked Lin Xiu aggressively.
