When Li Changge entered the tribe, he was very disappointed.
The wooden house in front of us was very dilapidated and clearly had been abandoned for a long time.
"I'd also like to ask about the fish-people inhabitants here."
Li Changge said helplessly.
He was very interested in the communal living culture here, but it was a great pity.
Li Changge looked around and began to explore the wooden houses one by one.
After he explored the first five wooden houses, he discovered a very interesting phenomenon.
The arrangement of the wooden houses here is actually quite deliberate.
For example, the first five wooden houses are the cargo area, filled with goods brought back by the fishmen from outside.
The five wooden houses in the middle are the manufacturing area, where there are simple tools such as stone knives and stone axes.
The three wooden houses behind are the rest area, so it seems that there aren't many merfolk in this tribe.
"However, the fishmen on the edge of Fishman Island live in groups, which is quite interesting."
Li Changge first entered the goods area, which had been there for quite some time, and many things were beginning to decay.
"What a strong stench."
Li Changge covered his mouth and nose and began searching the wooden huts in the cargo area.
He opened three wooden houses in a row, but found nothing of value.
He quickly opened the fourth cabin, glanced inside, and was about to leave.
Out of the corner of Li Changge's eye, he noticed something glowing in the right corner of the wooden house.
"Something good?"
Li Changge re-entered the wooden house and went straight to the glowing corner.
Snap.
The former kicked aside the stone blocking his way and took out a metal box from inside.
"What's this?"
With a sense of doubt, Li Changge rudely opened the locked metal box.
[Ding!]
[Obtained: Perfect-grade cover]
[Perfect-level concealment device: It can assimilate the user's aura and appearance, making it impossible for people or objects around to detect anything unusual. This is only applicable to users with perfect-level strength.]
[Usage time: 12 hours at a time, followed by a 30-minute period of malfunction]
"Great! It's like a pillow delivered when I'm sleepy. Now I can consider going inside Fishman Island."
"The fishmen on the outskirts of Fishman Island have already learned to live in groups, and the fishman civilization inside will only become more and more advanced. Even with a disguise, one must act with caution."
Li Changge put the things away and continued searching while thinking.
But the most valuable thing about this fishman tribe was the camouflage device; Li Changge didn't even bother to look at the other ordinary items.
"You all go back to the Ark and wait for me. I'll be back as soon as possible."
Li Changge walked out of the fishman tribe and spoke to the two strange beasts.
"Bah!"
"Moo!"
Both beasts cried out in alarm and refused to retreat an inch.
They want to fight alongside their owners.
"Listen to me, if anything from the Ark goes missing, I'll punch you all."
Li Changge made a move as if to strike.
The two strange beasts had no choice but to give Li Changge a pitiful look before turning and running towards the ark.
Li Changge stood still, watching the two strange beasts run until they disappeared from sight.
"It's time to take action."
Li Changge hung the palm-sized concealer on his waist and pressed the button in the middle.
"clang!"
With a clear sound, Li Changge transformed from a human into a mermaid, exactly the same as the mermaid who had attacked him earlier.
They are all mermaids of the lowest level, but unlike them, Li Changge possesses perfect-level strength.
"They're gone."
Li Changge leaped into the hills after a few quick leaps.
………
Haito City.
It took Li Changge two hours to finally find the city closest to him.
Although it's called a city, it's really just a larger tribe.
It's easy to imagine that this is still the edge of Fishman Island.
Li Changge took a deep breath, emerged from the distant jungle, and slowly walked towards the city.
As he approached the city gate, he looked up.
Good heavens, even the city gate is made of stone. With Li Changge's sharp eye, he could tell at a glance that it was made of the most durable granite.
"This city is not peaceful."
Li Changge silently recited in his heart.
Only cities that are frequently at war have city gates made of stone; otherwise, they are made of ordinary wood.
Li Changge casually glanced around and noticed that there were only a few fishmen entering the city at this time, and they all looked flustered.
"Excuse me, sir, I'm from out of town. May I ask what's going on here?"
Li Changge merged into the flow of fish, approached a fish-man of the same color as him, and asked in a low voice.
The fish-man was initially wary, but then realized it was one of its own kind.
That's alright then.
"The Seahorse City Lord and the Mermaid City Lord have broken ties."
The merman said in a low voice.
As he spoke, he glanced to the side, as if afraid that other fishmen might overhear.
"Oh? Could you tell me more about it?"
Li Changge took out a handful of standard-issue seashells from his pocket and stuffed them into the fishman's hand.
Standard shells are the common currency on Fishman Island. Li Changge obtained them as loot by killing several fishmen during his journey.
"Hey, brother, you didn't know? I heard that the two city lords have fallen out over a drop of ancient divine beast's essence blood, and they've been fighting each other for the past few days."
After the fishman received the money, he became much more agreeable.
"Is the essence blood of ancient mythical beasts really that useful?"
As soon as Li Changge said this, the fishman only gave him a disdainful look. "Brother, where did you come from? The essence of ancient divine beasts can make our bloodline purer and our strength two levels higher."
hiss.
Li Changge felt a chill run down his spine.
Before entering the city, Li Changge had already inquired and knew that the ocean beasts at the city lord level had elite-level strength. If the essence blood of ancient divine beasts could be used to advance two levels, wouldn't that push their strength to the superior level?
The essence and blood of a divine beast are terrifying beyond belief!
Li Changge scratched his head sheepishly: "Sorry, I've been in the mountains for too long and I've become completely out of touch with the outside world."
As the two were talking, they passed through the city gate and entered the interior of Haito City.
The merman waved his hand. "Let me tell you one last thing. Because the blood essence of the ancient divine beast is too precious, people from above are coming and will be here soon. So the two city lords have agreed to have a final battle tonight outside Haito City. Whoever wins gets it. Do you want to join in the fun?"
A decisive battle to the death would be great.
Li Changge's eyes lit up.
He had no interest in essence blood at first, but his interest was instantly ignited.
"No, no, I'm too weak, I don't want to go looking for death."
Li Changge refused repeatedly.
With the presence of the concealment device, his strength at this moment is only excellent, the lowest level of merman.
The merman gave a matter-of-fact look and laughed, "That's all for now, I'm leaving."
"goodbye."
Li Changge smiled and waved, then turned and left.
"Hmph, I'm not only going, I'm going to steal your essence blood."
After turning around, Li Changge left expressionlessly and quickly.
He looked at the sky.
There are still two hours until dark.
