Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 17 Underwater Transportation

"Let's go, let's go to the northwest. It's close to the land, and there should be many suitable places to collect stone." As he said this, he headed towards the northwest.

The Canghai tribe is not far from the land, only a few hundred miles away.

In order to develop his territory, Meng Zheng chose the underwater plain. As a result, each resource point was far away and required a long distance to transport.

Meng Zheng had considered this issue a long time ago.

There is actually no problem.

The situation underwater is different from that on land. The transportation of various materials underwater is actually very simple. An ordinary mermaid can easily carry several times more things than on land.

Because there is something called waterway underwater.

Tianyu Lake is extremely vast and deep.

Due to the influence of many factors such as climate and environment.

This results in various underwater undercurrents, eddies, and tidal currents.

These peculiar underwater flows are extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful you may be sucked in and taken to an unknown place.

But for the mermaids, an underwater race, they can make good use of these underwater undercurrents.

It is regarded by Meng Zheng as an extremely effective mode of transportation, which can be called an underwater highway.

Because mermaids have an almost intuitive premonition of water flow, they can accurately determine where these undercurrents will eventually connect.

Meng Zheng had long planned to use these undercurrents to transport supplies and connect various parts of the territory.

The disadvantage is that the formation of undercurrents is extremely random, and if you are lucky, you can directly connect to the territory.

Bad luck can be a million miles away.

But it is still a very good way to travel, much faster than tail swimming.

When I have the ability in the future, I will find a way to build a teleportation array and establish a more stable means of transportation.

Secondly, Meng Zheng chose this place because he wanted to seize a piece of land and collect the scarce underwater resources after his territory developed to a certain extent in the future.

The development of a territory requires too many resources.

Without multiple ways to acquire it, it's easy to get stuck in a dead end.

Moreover, the underwater world is different from the land one. There are many dangerous areas. If you are not strong enough, you can easily be swallowed up by various large underwater monsters.

In comparison, land is better and it is easier to establish a stable channel for obtaining resources.

The first stop today is to explore towards the lakeshore, searching for monster groups while looking for a resource area suitable for mining stone.

This time, Meng Zheng only planned to bring Cangyue with him. The gray-tailed mermaid’s fighting power was too weak, and compared with the ferocious monster, it was easy for her to get into danger.

The swimming speed is also very slow, and it is completely unable to protect itself when encountering danger.

With Cangyue protecting him at all times, Meng Zheng could easily escape from danger and get rid of the pursuit.

We swam past the top of the Canghai tribe and walked forward for more than ten miles. The terrain gradually rose and the light became better and better.

The Canghai Tribe is located at the bottom of Tianyu Lake, a hundred meters deep. Although there is light shining down, the overall brightness is not very good. The tribe does not react much to light because mermaids have good night vision and can clearly see their surroundings with just a little light.

As they continued to approach the shore and the altitude continued to increase, Meng Zheng felt the bright environment around him and couldn't help feeling refreshed.

Three days ago, he was also a human being, living on land!
Now that I have turned into a mermaid, I soak in water all day long. Although I don’t feel uncomfortable, I still miss the time on land.

The water quality of Tianyu Lake is very good, with lush aquatic plants and seaweed taking root everywhere on the lake bottom, forming a unique scene that is not seen on land.

Some aquatic plants and seaweeds are tens or even hundreds of meters long. Various fish swim around in them, developing a complete ecosystem.

Walking through it, it feels no different from a forest on land.

Looking around, there is green everywhere.

"This place can be used as a hunting area and seaweed collection area. It has abundant meat resources, including shellfish, shrimps and crabs. It is definitely a good hunting ground."

Looking at the seaweed forest in front of him, Meng Zheng was very satisfied. It was only a dozen miles away from the territory. Even the gray-tailed mermaids could go back and forth freely within an hour. It was enough as a hunting ground.

"Let's go in and take a look to see if there are any powerful guys." He swung his tail and took Cangyue into the seaweed forest.

The seaweed forest is very dense and floats with the current. The visibility is only five or six meters, making it very difficult to walk through it.

Sometimes you need to manually push aside the seaweed in front of you to get through smoothly.

Tianyu Lake was probably formed a long time ago. Because there are no natural enemies to restrict it, these seaweeds proliferate everywhere, in all directions and densely.

Meng Zheng, Cangyue and the others had just gone more than ten meters deep when a strange fish with a protruding mouth full of serrations and a purple back suddenly rushed towards them.

It moves with incredible speed and has sharp teeth, and it's clearly a ferocious creature.

Cangyue hurriedly pulled Meng Zheng behind her, and with a wave of her hand, a column of water as thick as a bucket shot out instantly, parting the water plants in front of them and blocking the charge of the strange fish.

This water column was extremely thick and powerful. As soon as it touched the fish, it pushed it far away, and the surrounding water plants were also blown into pieces and separated into two sides.

But it just shook its body, as if it felt nothing, turned its head and bit Cangyue again, as if it was determined to fight to the death and eat the guy who dared to attack it.

Cangyue was not panicked. The incident happened suddenly and she was attacked by the strange fish. She had no time to use her skills. She could only control the water flow to drive the strange fish away, so the power was not very great.

Now that she was sufficiently prepared, she immediately cast the Hymn of the Waves, determined to kill the creature that had frightened her lord.

A five-meter-high wall of water rose up in an instant. Its majestic momentum symbolized its extraordinary power. The wall of water grew higher and higher, with a rumbling sound of waves, and it slammed heavily into the rapidly rushing strange fish.

Seeing the oncoming wall of water, panic appeared in his eyes and he wanted to turn his body to avoid it.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The water wall was extremely fast and the strange fish was not slow either. In less than two seconds, the two collided violently like an egg hitting a stone.

The strange fish, which was full of energy just now, suddenly bent into a Z shape, with its white belly turned up, and was washed far away by the waves, without any movement.

The strange fish didn't seem to have any injuries on the surface, but its internal organs were already in shattered pieces, shattered and eroded, and large amounts of light blue liquid were overflowing from the corners of its mouth.

This is because the water wall summoned by the Song of Waves is not just one, but has multiple impact effects. Every time it advances a certain distance, it will bring with it more water elements and launch a new impact on the target.

As long as there is enough spiritual power, it is easy to create a huge wave that is a hundred meters high.

This strange fish was only at the Yellow Rank Level 3 strength, and Cangyue turned it upside down with just a little bit of power.
