Under the control of the octopus, the Future was traveling at excessive speed, and in less than half an hour, the group and the fish arrived at the location where the anomaly had occurred.
The chaotic currents were constantly bubbling, and without even investigating, Gu Xi knew that there was a large group of deep-sea creatures underwater.
Gradually, these deep-sea creatures surfaced.
Besides the octopus tribe, there were indeed other deep-sea creatures among them.
Gu Xi counted them carefully: the deep-sea giant crab clan, the deep-sea sea serpent clan, and some other deep-sea clans with even stranger forms that she had never seen before. They did not seem to be attacking and remained quietly in place, their eyes all fixed on the slowly approaching Future.
Of course, their composure was entirely due to the Future's formidable combat capabilities, as well as the fact that some deep-sea creatures had heard of Gu Xi's name.
No one made a move. After a moment of silence, a mental fluctuation was transmitted, directly resonating in Gu Xi and Ai Si's minds:
"I know you, Gu Xi of the Deep Sea Human Race. Stop. State your purpose."
Gu Xi answered calmly and clearly, "I am Gu Xi. We have no intention of offending you. We are here to have a friendly conversation with you all."
"Friendly communication?" The voice was filled with doubt and sarcasm. "You use strange things to draw energy from the ocean and build islands. This doesn't seem like the behavior of the deep-sea race."
"Deep-sea creatures should live in the sea. What kind of deep-sea creatures are those who stay on land?"
Sure enough, they came for the island.
Gu Xi did not rush to refute.
"The ocean is vast and contains all things, but it is extremely dangerous, as you all know. Such an environment is even more deadly for the young of us deep-sea humans. Building islands and seeking their protection is just seeking a place of refuge."
"We're all just trying to survive. Instead of fighting each other, let's cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."
She paused, then continued, "But we're here today not to cause trouble, but to cooperate and negotiate."
To increase the persuasiveness, Gu Xi subtly manipulated objects to deliver the gifts prepared by Sun Yiming to the deep-sea tribe.
"This is a small token of our appreciation from our deep-sea human race, representing our sincerity."
The boxes, filled with various metals, food, and seashell handicrafts, traced paths in the seawater as they slowly approached.
Several flexible octopus tentacles extended and rolled up the box.
Silence fell over the room once again.
The deep-sea creatures' gazes remained fixed on the Future, seemingly assessing the veracity of Gu Xi's words.
Just then, an even stronger and more ancient spiritual energy fluctuation came.
"You deep-sea humans are truly different." The old man turned to Gu Xi and asked, "You say you need a place to live. But what does that have to do with us? What benefits can you bring us?"
This issue is quite sophisticated and self-serving, but it has become possible to negotiate.
Gu Xi immediately seized the opportunity.
"The knowledge and technology of the Deep Sea Humans are unparalleled. The items in the gift are merely a small glimpse into the wisdom of our people."
"Moreover, we have already started cooperating with many deep-sea tribes, and even the Sea Ghost tribe has provided us with assistance. Isn't that enough to explain the problem?"
Negotiation is about seizing the other party's weaknesses and maximizing your own strengths.
The Deep Sea Clan is worried about the differences between humans and the Deep Sea Clan, but humans also have their own advantages. By turning disadvantages into advantages, and with the guarantee from the Sea Ghost Clan, Gu Xi is confident that the other party will be able to lower their guard by 80%.
