Chapter 592

~8 min read 1,444 words

The setting sun penetrated the water layer, scattering into dense light needles.

Inside and outside the valley.

Tents and caves were half and half.

The "tent cloth" tied outside the valley was gray and mottled, with the gelatinous and oily feel of fish skin, feeling very heavy just by looking at it.

Between the tents, "people" with fish tails occasionally lifted the curtains, swimming and shuttling through.

Good luck.

The Mermaid tribe did not migrate!

Swimming water essence!

Liang Qu looked at the Mermaids, let all the huge water beasts retreat, so as not to expose his tracks and cause abnormalities.

He himself led Long Long Eying and Long Long Binglin to approach carefully.

Long heard the name, never saw the person.

Dragon-men and humans, except for the size difference, are not much different, and even comparing appearance and white jade skin, they can be called a high-quality version.

Mermaids are different.

Observe carefully.

The upper body can't really tell the gender characteristics.

The whole body below the waist is a fish tail, and because of the fish tail, the overall length is much higher than the human race; a rough scan shows that all the Mermaids that appeared are over two meters three in length.

The appearance is close to humans, but the features are neutral, the pupils are dark blue, combined with the pale face, a cold and gloomy aura.

If these facial features are considered normal...

Eyes move backward.

Above the jawbone of the Mermaid, there are transparent thorny fins the size of a palm, which will tremble gently when speaking and communicating, fanning out water vapor and vortexes.

And right behind this semi-transparent fin, the diagonal striped fish gills surge and rise and fall.

When turning the head to breathe, it can occasionally reveal scarlet gill meat.

A bit of an uncanny valley.

Liang Qu scanned the fish gills twice, couldn't help but get goosebumps, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

Uncomfortable to look at.

If not looking, the eyes would move back involuntarily.

Strange.

Long Long Binglin rubbed his chin.

"Human head and fish tail, beautiful and good at singing, weaving water into silk, tears falling into pearls. It's different from what's written in the books."

Long Long Eying said: "The boatman at sea just took a quick glance, it can't be taken seriously."

Liang Qu nodded.

Long heard that Mermaids lay eggs and reproduce.

The scene before him is not too far beyond expectations.

Long Long Binglin asked: "Elder, what should we do next?"

"Haven't thought about it." Liang Qu spread his hands, "I want to incorporate them under my command, provide protection, and use this to exchange for their Each Jiaorenlei or Mermaid Silk, but I don't know how to make them believe."

"Hmm..."

Behind the dirt slope.

The three sat cross-legged, each thinking.

Providing protection with Liang Qu's personal strength is quite unrealistic looking at the Jianghuai Great Marsh.

Any Great Demon attacks.

No, don't need a Great Demon, if more water demons come, it will be stretched thin, and the so-called protection will be self-defeating.

The one who provided protection to the entire Mermaid tribe back then was the Dragon Lord who suppressed the entire Jianghuai, nearly a country within a country.

Allowing hundreds of thousands or even millions of Mermaids to swim freely in the entire Jianghuai River and derivative lakes, living and trading freely.

To achieve such a degree, showing the identity of the Fourth Elder of the Dragon-men is useless.

Too far behind.

Not qualified enough.

But Liang Qu doesn't need to protect the entire Mermaid tribe; he only needs to ensure that the few hundred Mermaids before him are safe near Pingyang Prefecture.

The difficulty is not comparable.

And if strength is not enough, status makes up for it.

With a Martial Saint master, a Grandmaster master, and many officials of the River Patrol Office blessing.

Definitely not difficult.

The sky gradually darkened.

Long Long Eying thought: "Since this is the case, why don't you, my lord, state the pros and cons here, and let the two of us go to negotiate?"

Long Long Binglin agreed: "My lord, on the surface you are human; since you want to subdue the Mermaids, it's better not to show your face for the time being."

"Also good."

Communicated for a while.

Liang Qu stated his advantages and guarantees, as well as the payment the Mermaids need to make.

Actually, there is no special price.

As long as there are Each Jiaorenlei in the future, before destroying or selling them, just store them with him for a while, and he guarantees there will be no changes. Long Long Binglin didn't understand: "My lord, why is this?"

Mermaids have two treasures.

But he doesn't want Mermaid Silk, doesn't want Each Jiaorenlei.

Just store them for a while?

What is the significance?

"Inconvenient to say." Liang Qu shook his head, "My request is just this; as for Mermaid Silk and Each Jiaorenlei, if they want to sell them, they can sell them, if they don't want to sell them, I won't force them, let nature take its course."

"Elder, having no demand is not realistic." Long Long Binglin pondered, "Given the current situation of the Mermaids, if the Elder opens his mouth like a lion, perhaps the Mermaids will instead give trust."

Pie won't fall from the sky.

Treasure fish won't float in the water.

People all have a fluke mentality, but will be vigilant against benefits that are too obvious.

Long Long Eying said: "The Elder sees the Dragon-men and worries about the Mermaids, has the ambition to protect the water tribes of the world, and requests to appreciate Each Jiaorenlei, just to let the Mermaids have a 'transaction' where they give and take, not awkward."

Liang Qu snapped his fingers.

"Smart!"

Long Long Binglin understood.

Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, at least it's better than "no comment."

Prepared the draft.

Long Long Binglin called the Great Spirit Monster deputy in the wild finless porpoise pod as a "guide" to act as a buffer for both sides.

The old finless porpoise is actually more suitable, but it has injuries, and bringing it out looks like it's being coerced.

"Wait."

Liang Qu raised his hand.

A-Wei swam out and landed on Long Long Eying's wrist, forming a blue bracelet.

"If there is danger, A-Wei will tell me."

"Elder, don't worry."

Prepared everything.

The two people and one beast jumped out of the dirt slope.

Looking down from above.

No cover at all.

The Mermaid on guard in the valley was immediately alert.

Seeing that it was "human," they didn't hesitate at all, raised their necks, and the transparent fins on both sides trembled at high frequency.

There was no sound, but violent bubbles emerged, like opening a can of soda water that was bulging to the limit in the water, instantly obscuring the face of the reporting Mermaid.

"Ultrasound?"

Liang Qu lay behind the dirt slope and observed silently.

Received the alarm.

The entire Mermaid tribe poured out in an instant, holding long spears and long lances, surrounding the Dragon-men.

Scanned one by one.

"Really no characteristic organs."

All Mermaids are thin, the upper body is "flat," hard to distinguish gender, only a few have a relatively burly physique.

Don't know if it's the realm or the gender reason.

The one in the middle has the strongest momentum, shoulders are a circle wider, appearance is majestic, suspected to be the leader of the tribe.

Judging from the aura, the strength is in the upper stage of Hunting Tiger, with three early or mid-stage Hunting Tiger followers on the left and right.

Altogether four Hunting Tigers came out, not enough for Long Long Eying and Long Long Binglin to fight.

Perhaps because of this.

The Mermaids didn't choose to do it, but surrounded and confronted.

Liang Qu felt slightly relaxed when he saw this.

Still okay.

Not dangerous.

The burly Mermaid swam closer, the fins above the jawbone fanning out vortexes.

The content of the speech is unclear.

The A-Wei sent out just happened to act as a relay station.

There is physical evidence.

Confirmed that Long Long Binglin and Long Long Eying are not human but Dragon-men.

The burly Mermaid raised his hand, the long spears and long forks aimed at the Dragon-men were raised, but not put away.

Vigilance still exists.

Until the Great Spirit Monster finless porpoise gestured with its fins.

The burly Mermaid let most of the Mermaids retreat, kept the few strongest, and brought Long Long Eying and Long Long Binglin into the tent.

There's a chance!
