Chapter 322: The shore of the Red River
In the Shanhai Realm, outside the South China Sea, the shore of the Red River.
This is the territory of the mermaids, and it is also where the water tribe resides.
Just like the hundreds of races contending with each other on land, there is never a shortage of various intelligent races and individuals in the waters of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The only difference from land is that in the wider waters, intelligent races have never been the mainstream.
Those epic creatures that have given birth to wisdom one after another are the true masters of the ocean.
Even the mermaids, the most powerful of all aquatic creatures, dare not cross the border of the Red Water and head towards the real Endless Abyss.
According to the ancient legend of the mermaids, the Endless Abyss is the source of all ocean currents and the abode of the "mermaid spirit, the incarnation of the Creator."
It is precisely because of the existence of the Endless Abyss that the ocean currents in this world can appear continuously and form a large cycle that surrounds the entire world.
If the existence of the sun is the light of life, then the flow of water is the source of life.
Therefore, in the mythological system of the mountain and sea world, although the presence of the mermaid is not as strong as that of the snake, no one has ever denied the power of this innate god.
Especially after the establishment of the [Heavenly Dao System], the mermaids have assumed some of the powers and responsibilities of the ocean god, and have the authority to enthrone the water god, river god, and sea god.
Unfortunately, adhering to Jiao Ling's consistent hermit character, He has never truly canonized any of His subordinate gods.
Until recently, the ocean shook, the sea water flowed backwards, and countless epic creatures living in the deep ocean gathered abnormally, bringing great pressure to the mermaids living in the coastal areas.
This mermaid, who has always been known for her mystery, finally canonized her first subordinate god - the God of Narwhal.
As the name suggests, the Narwhal God is a racial god who also holds some of the authority of ocean gods.
Under the call of the God of Narwhals, a large number of narwhals joined the camp of the mermaids, and together with the Lingyu, Yintong, Shark Chi and other marine races, they fought against the epic creatures from the deep sea.
At the same time, after learning about the inexplicable catastrophe occurring in the ocean, the hundreds of tribes on land and seas also chose to join the battlefield.
From super battleships as big as aircraft carriers to miniature boats built with bones...
The hundreds of mountain and sea tribes on land relied on their advanced technology and tactics to crush the epic creatures and forced them out of the range of Chishui.
Then, the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas awkwardly stopped their strategic plans to move forward.
Because the ocean is different from the land, among the hundreds of races in the mountains and seas, except for a few marine races like the mermaids, other races cannot really live in the ocean for a long time.
Correspondingly, there is no supporting infrastructure or construction projects in the ocean.
If the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas want to continue to pursue those epic creatures in depth and find out the real cause of this ocean catastrophe, there is a high probability that they will suffer huge casualties and sacrifices.
In desperation, the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas had to cooperate with a few marine races such as the mermaids to build bunker-type defensive buildings like sea islands on the edge of the Red Water.
This is a huge project both in terms of time-consuming and costly.
Fortunately, the skeleton people have been researching similar floating island projects for a long time, so the technology to build these ocean platforms is basically available.
Coupled with the mermen's lavish spending style and their not being short of money at all, these epic creatures were kept out of Chishui for a long time.
Even so, everyone knows that this is not a long-term solution.
As long as the truth behind this ocean catastrophe is not revealed, those epic creatures will continue to appear and harass the marine races living in Chishui.
Here we have to mention the general concept of the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas, or the civilization of the mountains and seas.
This is a self-sufficient, self-reliant civilization. Although they generally have the custom of faith, they do not place all their hopes on gods.
The people of the mountains and seas respect the Creator and the gods, but never think of themselves as "lambs" kept in captivity by the Creator and the gods.
In their view, the birth and action of the Narwhal God was actually a manifestation of the gods making an exception to help them.
What will happen next is unless there is a real genocide crisis.
Otherwise, even if all the mermaids believed in mermaid spirits, they would never pray to the gods for help.

"We can't just keep on defending passively like this!"
Standing on a skeleton island at the very edge of the Red Water, a skeleton citizen who had just been assigned here said this.
Behind this skeleton, a mermaid who had immersed herself in the red water slowly poked its head out and yawned lazily.
"I say, are all of you Skeletons so... concerned about the country and the people?"
As the partner of the Skeleton Man for the next ten years, the Merman's attitude was obviously much more perfunctory.
In the world of mountains and seas, mermaids have always been a race known for their wealth and generosity. Almost every one of them is wealthy and has long been accustomed to enjoying life.
So it’s no wonder that the mermaids would have such great resentment after being sent to this hellhole for ten years.
"We are not worrying about the country or the people. We just want to solve the problem fundamentally."
Faced with the mermaid's perfunctory attitude, the skeleton people didn't care at all.
This is certainly due to the character of the Skeleton People themselves.
On the other hand, the mermaid was only complaining verbally and was actually a pretty nice person.
After all, they have been old friends for decades, and Haimin knows the other party's hypocritical and hard-mouthed but soft-hearted character better than anyone else.
"As long as we don't figure out the root cause of this ocean catastrophe, those epic creatures will invade Chishui again and again."
"We can prevent them countless times, but if we miss just one trip, it will bring extremely serious consequences."
This is the truth, and mermaids can actually understand it.
But the key issue now is, how can we find out the cause of this ocean catastrophe?
In that vast and endless abyss, there is a harsh marine environment that even the mermaids cannot adapt to.
"Anyway, these are things that the prophets at the think tank should consider."
“What we have to do now is to keep an eye on this island and prevent those epic creatures from making a comeback.”
When saying this, the mermaid looked serious for a rare time.
The next second, a wave visible to the naked eye suddenly arose on the edge of the border between Chishui and the South China Sea.
"You're such a bad mouth..."
Staring at this sudden scene in amazement, the Skeleton People who reacted immediately cursed under their breath.
"Hurry up and warn everyone! Tell everyone that those epic creatures are making a comeback!"
