Chapter 367: Legacy of God
Melfish have upper bodies similar to humans, and the physiological structures of the two sexes are completely different. Just like most fish in the water, only male and female merpeople can give birth to offspring.
This is different from the Redthorn tribe.
The Redthorn Man originated from the Redthorn Snake, but the Redthorn Snake has no so-called male and female distinction. If it wants to give birth to offspring, it will split a part of its body, and then this part of the body will slowly grow into a complete Redthorn Snake. In addition, the Redthorn Man has rough skin, which is different from the smooth skin of the Fishman.
The fishmen led the way in front, and Chi Lian followed behind.
Looking at the fishermen's flexibly swinging tails, he suddenly thought that if the redthorn snake had not learned to walk on the shore, it would probably still be swimming in the water.
Entering the deep sea, the surroundings became dim, but this did not affect Chi Lian's vision. His strength far exceeded that of most lives, and the fire of faith became his sharper eyes and ears.
A large, wide-mouthed killer fish suddenly rushed over, scaring the fishmen so much that they fled in all directions.
Chi Lian just glanced at the killer fish, and the ferocious big fish suddenly froze, turned its head and swam quickly behind him.
The fishmen who had been hiding far away swam back and looked at Chi Lian curiously, not understanding why he, who was not strong, could make the overlord of the sea flee in panic.
"This is our King of Light."
Zhao Zai didn't care whether the fishman could understand him or not. He gestured proudly and blew bubbles from his mouth: "He is not only the ruler of the land, but also the conqueror of the water. Any monster must surrender at his feet."
"He is the successor of Lord Yao's will, possessing divine power, and is the king of light and fire!"
Although the fish people didn't understand, they looked at Chi Lian with awe.
Chi Lian waved his hand, signaling the fishmen to continue swimming forward.
They dived for a long time and entered a deep ravine on the seabed. In the wide and deep trench, there was a huge sea clam stuck.
This clam is covered with green fluff, shells and other aquatic organisms, but it firmly supports an underwater palace.
The palace was in ruins, and its surface was covered with dark green kelp and algae. In front of the palace stood a white spear, which emitted a faint white halo that flickered, like the slow breathing of some giant sea beast.
Chi Lian observed from a distance for a while.
He noticed that the clam temple was made entirely of whale bones, as if a great hunter had used the whales he hunted as materials to build this underwater building.
The fishmen kept gesticulating and spitting out strings of bubbles from their mouths.
Chi Lian can understand what the fish people say, and this is also the apostle power given by the God Yao.
"…This is the temple that the mermaids used to worship. The old gods once issued oracles here. There is incredible power in it."
"The ancestors all said that the underwater temple hides the secrets of the past. Whoever can pick up the Dragon Tooth Halberd will rule the sea."
"That is the weapon of God... and no one has been able to pull it out yet."
"Yes, yes. Do you think he can understand what we are saying? It's really hard."
…
Chi Lian nodded to the fishmen, and to their astonishment, he landed steadily on the big clam.
Stepping on the slippery and dense seaweed, Chi Lian slowly grabbed the white halberd with both hands. He exerted force, but the halberd did not move at all.
There were whispers of fishmen coming from behind.
"It seems like it still doesn't work... It failed."
"That's normal. They're not mermaids. Probably only a strong man among the mermaids, or someone chosen by the gods, can pull it out."
…
Chi Lian could feel that the Dragon Tooth Halberd was fixed to the clam by a mysterious force. The tip of this divine weapon pierced through the clam's shell and pierced deep below.
He thought that because of the passage of time, the halberd head had been firmly wrapped by the clam, and pulling it out was like wrestling with the entire clam.
If the clam is allowed to loosen its mouth, perhaps it can be pulled out.
Even if we cannot obtain this spear, this temple of the underwater god can be used as a sacrifice to Lord Yao.
Chi Lian said, "Go and call everyone over, and we will carry this huge clam to the shore."
"Yes, Chief."
Soon, tens of thousands of Redthorn people dived deep underwater. Under Chi Lian's command, they gradually returned to their original Redthorn snake state, entwining their tails to form a tough underwater long snake formation.
Together, they chiseled open the corner of the seabed where the clam was stuck, and then formed a giant red hand with many sharp claws, grabbed the clam under the water, and then hooked it and dragged it all the way across the seabed.
This huge project consumed more than two-thirds of the Redthorn Tribe's labor, and they had to take turns to carry the load to ensure that they had enough strength and would not delay the progress. The fish people also provided help, but their number was much smaller and their role was quite limited.
It took twelve years, but the giant clam from the sea carrying the temple was finally pulled out of the water.
The giant clam that had lived in the dark seabed for a long time saw the light of day again and was exposed to the scorching sun for the first time. All the Redthorn Tribe hugged each other excitedly and cheered loudly, and the Fishmen also jumped happily in the water.
In the light that illuminates everything, the Redthorn people used wooden forks and stone axes to remove the thick and sticky mud and grass on the surface of the clams, and picked out the shellfish and barnacles stuck on them.
They cleaned the giant clam with water, restoring its original appearance.
The shell of the large clam on the seabed is as pure white as pearls, without a trace of impurities. It is transparent and crystal clear in the sun, making people love it when they see it.
Chi Lian stood in front of the clam and said to the tall white treasure: "Carrying the life of the old temple, you have fulfilled your responsibility. The old days are gone, and now Zhou Island is protected by Lord Yaoshen."
"Now, I will pull out the dragon tooth halberd that has pierced your body as a sacrifice to Lord Yaoshen. I hope you can help me."
He jumped onto the clam and grabbed the snow-white halberd with both arms.
He exerted force with both arms.
This time there was not much sluggishness, and the power inside gradually loosened.
Chi Lian pulled out the halberd that was inserted into the clam. When he held it in his hand, he found that the halberd was made from the bones of a giant creature.
Dragon Tooth Halberd...I guess it's a dragon's tooth.
But this tooth was taller than herself, and Chi Lian could not imagine how big the body of the tooth's owner would be.
"Thank you for your help."
Chi Lian said to the big clam.
The big clam slowly opened its mouth at this time, and the fishbone temple on its shell shattered into pieces.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There was no clam meat in the clam's mouth, only a pearl the size of a hill floating in it.
The pearl flew in front of Chi Lian, and its smooth surface reflected Chi Lian's surprised face.
"Demigod's body... Are you the successor of Master Minoli?"
A voice that was difficult to tell whether male or female came from the pearl.
"...The old man in the straw raincoat and hat, who is that?"
"My last master was also the god worshipped in the temple. I am Aozhu."
It was the first time Chi Lian saw a talking pearl. He asked curiously, "So the old god was called the old man in the straw hat. Why did he put you in a big clam?"
"This is the divination bone made from the bones of a giant tortoise."
Aozhu said: "It includes Aozhu and Dragon Tooth Hook. This set is all the treasures of Mr. Straw Hat Man."
"Among them, the Divine Bone was originally a boat, and the Dragon Tooth Hook was a tool for fishing giant turtles or powerful prey. The Turtle Pearl, that is, me, is used to control the boat and the hook. I am also the core of the three treasures. When the dragon clan turned this world into a vassal, Lord Suoli Weng had no time to fish for many years, so he placed us under the temple."
“I don’t know why, but He left and never came back.”
Chi Lian nodded: "So that's how it is."
He asked the Redthorn tribe to carry the huge divination bone together, using logs on the ground as pulleys to drag it to the front of the temple. He held the dragon tooth hook and took Aozhu all the way to the entrance of the temple.
Slymod, who was kneeling in front of the statue, finally turned around slowly.
“You did a great job.”
Time has left no traces on the green-clothed man's face, and he still looks like a calm elder.
"Chi Lian, it seems that you already know what is most important to you."
Chi Lian looked at the teacher: "Actually, I am still confused, but I know that the answer can only be obtained through continuous attempts. I will lead my people to continue moving forward. As long as we keep moving forward, there is hope."
"Good, you have grown."
The man in green smiled and said, "Whether it is your personal destiny or the future of this world, it all depends on how far you can lead the Redthorn Tribe."
“Even if it’s that voice that continues to influence you, as long as you are strong enough, it’s no longer the voice that continues to whisper to you, but you are the one exerting influence on it. Isn’t that right?”
Suddenly, Leimod looked toward the distant sky outside the temple with a serious expression.
Chi Lian followed her teacher's gaze.
He saw the clouds in the sky being broken, revealing a black continent in the air, which was getting closer and closer to the ground and was crashing towards here with great momentum.
Slymod said softly, "The war is coming. Go, Chilian, return to your people. You need to protect them and face the challenge with them."
…
Lu Yao took some time to look at the cats in the blood hill next door. Before he had enough of the cats, a series of reminders popped up in the simulator.
[The Redthorn tribe invented the Stargazing Altar, and the knowledge of all the Redthorn tribe members has been slightly improved.]
[Discovered the prototype of a usable wonder: the Stargazing Altar. 】
[Chi Lian offers you a sacrifice: the Divine Bone. ]
[Chi Lian offers you a sacrifice: the Dragon Tooth Hook. ]
[Chi Lian offers you a sacrifice: Aozhu. ]
This surprised Lu Yao.
He flipped through the World Encyclopedia of Zhoudao, but did not see any entries for these props.
Where did Xiao Tai Sui dig this treasure from?
