Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 18 Murloc
The series of battles happened very quickly. Although Meng Zheng was startled, he was not too scared. Instead, he watched the battles quietly and admired Cangyue's beautiful fighting posture.

In fact, Meng Zheng, who was at the third level of the Yellow Rank, was not unresponsive.

But this was a power that was suddenly acquired, not something that came from hard practice.

Sometimes, even though you are aware of the problem, you just don’t know how to react, and you seem a little dazed.

However, this is not a big problem. You just need to practice diligently and adapt hard, and you will be able to fully master this power.

Moreover, with the great master Cangyue by his side, Meng Zheng was very relaxed and did not worry about his own safety at all. He just needed to be a silent bystander.

As expected, Meng Zheng was not disappointed. The battle was over after only ten seconds of contact. The Yellow Rank Level 7 combat power was so terrifying.

"Chief, it's okay!" Cangyue closed her eyes and sensed the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, she said to Meng Zheng with a smile.

"Well, let's continue shopping!" Meng Zheng has great confidence in Cangyue's strength. This beautiful silver-haired mermaid naturally has a reliable sense of security, which makes him feel very relieved.

After experiencing an attack by a strange fish, Meng Zheng and his companion became more cautious. The seaweed forest was so dense that the visible distance was only two or three meters. No one knew if there was anything else hidden.

Meng Zheng and Cangyue traveled throughout the seaweed forest and did not find any threatening creatures.

Most of them were ignorant little fish and shrimps wandering around in the seaweed forest. It was probably because Cangyue’s power was too strong just now that those cunning guys hid.

Yellow-level creatures generally have high IQs. The strange fish just now had no idea of ​​Cangyue's strength, and rushed up rashly, and was killed by Cangyue in an instant.

Such a terrifying existence is a dimensionality reduction attack on other yellow-level creatures. Naturally, they dare not offend Meng Zheng and the others again, but stay away from them.

"I guess there's nothing new to discover. Let's go look somewhere else and arrange for someone to come and clean it up later." Seeing that there was really nothing to gain, Meng Zheng and the other person swam out of the kelp forest and continued to swim northwest.

Half an hour later
In the waters more than seventy miles away from the land, a group of guys with fish heads and human bodies suddenly appeared and blocked Meng Zheng and the other man.

When Cangyue was more than thirty miles away, he had already discovered this group of guys by the smell of blood floating in the water.

Therefore, when Meng Zheng and the other two came over, they were very secretive and the fishman did not notice them.

From a distance, these guys looked extremely ugly, with a mouth full of fangs, and looked ferocious.

At this time, he was waving a spear, chasing the fish in the water and hunting.

The fisherman was very skilled in fishing. Every time he stabbed a fish with his spear, he could easily catch it and put it into the small bamboo basket on his waist.

Meng Zheng roughly counted them and found that there were about twenty-three of them. Except for a guy who was obviously the leader who was on guard, the rest of the fishmen surrounded the school of fish and hunted them.

They cooperate with each other well, use spears skillfully, and work as a team. You can tell at a glance that they are intelligent creatures.

They are not a group of brainless monsters.

Meng Zheng sent out a sound wave to Cangyue, signaling her not to act rashly, but to follow the group of fishmen from a distance to see where their lair was.

The sound waves emitted by Meng Zheng are a unique way of communication of the mermaids, called [Undertone]. Only those who have reached the Yellow Rank or above can master this skill.

Mermaids communicate underwater on a daily basis, and they actually use sound waves to communicate, but this method is a universal underwater language that can be heard by any race that has mastered the ability to use sound waves.

[Submerged Sound] is different. It's unique to the mermaids and is generally used for emergency secret communications to avoid being discovered by outsiders. Generally speaking, the stronger the mermaid, the farther the Submerged Sound can be sent. For an ordinary yellow-level mermaid, the Submerged Sound can only reach a distance of one kilometer.

As for Meng Zheng and Cang Yue, they can communicate using silent communication even though they are dozens of miles apart.

Cangyue is very powerful in herself, and Meng Zheng is a mermaid from the royal family, so it is easier for him to use the latent sound and it can produce extremely strong effects.

It has been three days since he arrived in the Eternal World. This group of fishmen is the first intelligent race Meng Zheng has encountered.

Looking at the spears in their hands and the bamboo baskets on their waists, you can tell that they have developed very well and have probably developed a social structure.

I just don’t know if there is a chosen lord to lead them. If there is, that would be troublesome.

At present, the fishmen here are not far from the Canghai tribe. In the vast Tianyu Lake, a few hundred miles are nothing. If you can use undercurrents, whirlpools, undertows and other means, you can even reach places thousands of miles away in an instant.

Suddenly discovering a neighbor, a murloc, a greedy and dangerous species in the legend, inevitably made Meng Zheng feel a little heavy.

In Meng Zheng's understanding, he didn't have a very good impression of the fishman.

In most movies, TV shows, and games, murlocs are synonymous with greed and cunning.

These guys are not easy to get along with. If you approach them rashly, it will easily cause trouble, expose the Canghai tribe out of thin air, and put the Canghai tribe in danger.

The Canghai tribe is still very weak, has not developed its own army, and does not have complete defense measures.

The only ones with combat capability are Cangyue, Cangmu and 24 patrolling sea yakshas. If they are attacked by hundreds of fishmen, there will probably be many casualties, which will seriously affect the future development progress.

Therefore, if you want to contact this group of fishmen, you must find out clearly and understand their strength before planning the next step.

The fishermen catch fish very quickly. With a quick swim and a lunge, they can easily catch a fat fish.

Each fisherman caught seven or eight fish, and ate them as they caught them. Soon the fish basket was full.

Most of the fish in these fish baskets had been bitten several times. Their torn bodies were constantly oozing smelly blood, which slowly escaped from the gaps in the fish baskets, attracting many small fish and shrimps.

The originally dense school of fish was soon caught by most of them, and they were finally able to break away from the encirclement of the fishmen and swim away in all directions.

The fishmen were very unruly, chattering non-stop. Meng Zheng and the others couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

From time to time, a fisherman would reach into the fish basket, grab a big, fat fish, take a few bites, and then put it back.

After repeating this process over and over again, a murloc that was obviously taller than an ordinary murloc finally appeared. It held a bone spear in its hand and wore wooden armor. It looked much more majestic than an ordinary murloc.

This tall fishman is very powerful. With a wave of his hand, he can easily knock those dishonest fellows off balance and stop them from stealing food.

This guy was very authoritative. He kept pushing and hitting the fishermen, demanding that they line up in an orderly manner, and then he slowly nodded to show his satisfaction.

Finally, after all the fishermen chattered and praised him, and after noticing that everyone's fish baskets were full, he contentedly led his brothers back home.
