Graglan, Lu Yu and his party were the last stopover station when they returned to Mela.
As an island within the Mela language family, overseas shipping routes have always been dense here. However, when Lu Yu arrived, the port here was full of merchant ships. During the half-day rest, there were almost no ships docking, and only a few of the docks were active. some fishermen.
Entering the area they knew well, the three of them relaxed a lot. They ate fried fish leisurely while waiting for the seabirds to rest, and listened to the seafarers describing the horrors they faced when going to sea during this period.
Not everyone can be as ferocious as Lu Yu, who crossed several continents all the way back to Mera. Most people will feel the ferocity of the sea after leaving the land for a while and sailing for a long time.
The high activity of various new races has led to chaos in the sea. The natural disasters and magical tides that come from time to time make navigation a mess and increase the uncertainty of navigation. For example... a ship was suddenly caught in the navigation chart. When the submarine volcano erupted, his companions could only watch as he was boiled by the boiling sea water.
"How long will this kind of life continue? I'm worried every day."
"Then you have to pray and ask the gods."
"Anyway, it's not just us who are suffering. Don't you see that the group of sea monsters are also very unhappy? They have been attacking the Sea Clan recently. They were the ones who originally clamored for a piece of land to go ashore, but now they are clamoring to clean up the new Sea Clan. And it is unreasonable for them to act regardless of the sea that was so fearful before.”
There was a siren in the tavern, and the drinkers did not shy away from discussing the real owner.
A siren stood up dissatisfied: "Two-legged guy, we made an agreement with your king to go ashore. Don't you think you have offended us a little by saying these words?"
"I remember that you sirens have always boasted that you like to go to the theater and are optimistic. In the past, you were keen to watch us fight to death in the sea, and you would also mock our intrigues and bloody rule from time to time. Why, what are you doing now? Is the thing a tribute to us?”
The drinkers were obviously a little drunk, and they did not intend to debate the right or wrong of going ashore. Instead, they sharply revealed the truth behind the Kraken's attack on the new sea tribe - to maintain the status of the first race in the sea.
"You are mocking the sirens, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Have the terrestrial species started to use themselves to save others again?"
For a time, the Siren crowd was excited, and the drinkers gave full play to the passion given by alcohol and sprayed wildly. The content included but was not limited to greetings about the Siren genealogy, which was full of strong terrestrial literary colors.
After a long period of evolution, terrestrial creatures have emerged as rich and intelligent races, and they are always fighting with each other for various reasons.
The sea has been controlled by a very small number of intelligent races for a long time, and the first one is naturally the sea monster who feeds the world consciousness.
Because it is too vast, the intelligent races in the sea have no reason to compete, so they have lived in peace for a long time.
However, the various new sea tribes that have sprung up under the tide of magic have made the Kraken feel threatened. Thinking of the crisis they felt from the sea before, they deeply suspect that it is the god of the Kraken who is giving them a reminder. The creatures that threaten the status of the Kraken clan have awakened.
After understanding this level, Lu Yu already understood the mentality of the group of sea monsters in front of him who had almost broken their defenses.
Many sea monsters have a sense of superiority more or less. The [Speech Spirit] talent, affinity to the water element, affinity to high magic power, long lifespan, and various racial advantages are like God slamming a rice spoon into their throats. The feeding method has allowed them to distance themselves from countless races since the beginning. They can be called chrysalis lying on the finish line. They can win whenever they want, and at the same time, they can look back from time to time to look at those races that are still struggling on the track. Fun.
In their eyes, the frequent struggles of the terrestrial species are just a small theater after dinner. They can complain decently and without a trace of blood and dust about the barbarity and vulgarity of those races that are struggling to survive. They have mastered powerful magic and can calmly comment on them. The efforts made by outstanding magicians in the novel seem meaningless, just because "they are born powerful."
The sea monsters, who had no pressure to survive, had been living like this leisurely until a huge sense of crisis prompted them to rush to the land crazily, seeking a land that could temporarily escape the storm, until they also became a race that needed to be cautious in order to survive.
The target who used to be able to ridicule with confidence now pinches his face and beats him wildly. The Siren's face turned red. I don't know who knocked down the wine glass. It felt like smashing the glass as a sign. Magic flew everywhere in the tavern.
Jeffrey was lamenting that the closer he got to the Mera continent, the more he could feel the martial virtues here, and there was a werewolf who was knocked away next to him.
The werewolf smashed the table where Lu Yu was sitting on. When it got up again, it was covered in hair, and there was a faint smell of blood lingering all over its body.
"Werewolves with bloodthirsty talents can't end well now." Sera used magic to control her fried fish and tomato soup, and slowly floated backwards, "These werewolves are going to go berserk, you'd better leave quickly. "
Serra's reminder to Siren got a yay-say.
"You two-legged thing, shut up."
Jeffrey silently exited the hotel holding the sashimi packaged by Seabird. Siren's words made him stagger. If nothing else, Lu Yu definitely had more than two legs.
"We're almost here in Mera. I think you can be bolder in doing things without fear of getting into trouble."
Lu Yu thoughtfully gave away that part of his body control, and Lulu didn't need to say anything.
"No need, I don't think they can even defeat a werewolf."
The rampaging werewolves flashed around in a small space, moving as fast as lightning. The siren who thought that the spirit of speech could solve all problems was either torn off his scales by the grumpy old werewolf, or had his tail grabbed and used as a fly swatter to swat others. Kraken.
The Kraken had just landed ashore not long ago, so it might not be clear why werewolves, one of the few terrestrial species with low magical achievements and mostly relying on physical skills, could still maintain a group in the era of great magic with a harsh living environment.
The gun is fast from seven steps away, and the gun is accurate and fast within seven steps. It is a joke in front of the terrifying explosive power of the werewolf. If it were not a murder case in the city-state, but in the wild, this group of sea monsters would be the first to meet them. Already torn into sashimi.
When they left Gragland, the sirens on the edge of the city-state were already ready to move. It seemed that the dispute in the tavern was about to turn into a further fight.
"There is no such thing as a peaceful place." Jeffrey shook his head as he fed the seabirds sashimi.
Flying over the sea, Lu Yu witnessed the Kraken hunting the Xinhai people everywhere.
This is a dimensionality reduction blow in the true sense. The newly awakened sea tribe, which has not yet mastered much information about the outside world, has no power to fight back in the face of the bombardment of the Word Spirit. The blood dyes large tracts of sea water red, and there are floating things everywhere on the sea. The corpses of the Hai Clan had a fishy stench.
"Now don't you feel that the sea is extremely dangerous and you don't dare to go into the sea?" Lulu snorted disdainfully.
Sera also couldn't stand the behavior of the sea monsters, but after staring at each other for a while with a group of sea monsters, they still went their separate ways.
The ocean is big enough, and I hope those unlucky sea people can escape further away from the sea monsters.
The rapid whale call comes from far to near.
Lu Yu, who was hurriedly walking, caught a glimpse of a white water line behind him. They pushed through the red sea and galloped to Lu Yu's feet with a thick smell of blood. Their smooth black skin was half exposed in the water, and their huge heads were The two round eyes above stared directly at Jeffrey and Lu Yu.
A whale, almost surrounded by people, swimming in a backstroke posture with its white belly facing upward, weakly swayed its tail fin.
Lu Yu, who had not yet figured out the situation, quickly felt the magic power fluctuations following the group of whales, and several sea monsters appeared in their sights.
The cries of the whales revealed their anxiety. This group of more than 20 whales showed a humane look of pleading. They tried hard to show Lu Yu the serious injuries suffered by their own people, and there seemed to be tears rolling in their round eyes. .
Lulu murmured: "If we are not desperate, who would want to entrust the fate of the entire ethnic group to others."
Lu Yu sighed, and he floated forward a distance, protecting the whales behind him.
"Human race... This is a matter for the sea race and has nothing to do with you terrestrial species." The leading sea monster waved his hand to Lu Yu, "Get out of my way."
"I don't care if you kill other sea tribes, and I can't control it, but since these whales are begging for me, we are somewhat destined. You have killed enough, so there won't be more of this group, right?"
The expressions of several sea monsters changed. They looked at each other and sneered: "Have you killed enough? Are you accusing us of killing too much?"
When Lu Yu said this, he really felt that the Kraken's behavior was a bit disgusting, but the Kraken were obviously extremely sensitive. They didn't even answer Lu Yu's last question, but directly dwelled on this detail.
Reminiscent of everything that happened in Gragland's Tavern, these sirens now really want it.
"If you think so, then it is."
"Human beings don't think that because we need land to temporarily avoid disasters, we have to act in a submissive manner, right?"
"Obviously I don't think so either, but I feel like you can always point out the 'points' that are most insulting to your Siren's current behavior. Does that mean that you yourself don't think it's shameful to do so? Why are you so anxious and want to stop others from criticizing you?"
The moment the gun went off, the Kraken spoke in unison without any warning. Several magic blasts hit Lu Yu's body, blowing the new set of clothes he had just purchased to camouflage into pieces.
"You...what are you?"
Seeing the terrifying appearance of the briquette body, the sea monsters who finally realized that Lu Yu was not a human screamed and continued to shout the name of magic.
Xu Yu and a group of shadow substitutes appeared quietly behind the group of sea monsters. This time, their attack was no longer on the waist, but on the throat.
Blood spurted out from several throats and dripped onto the sea. A sea monster with tenacious vitality trembled and pointed at Lu Yu, who used his magic power to make a trembling sound.
"The senior members of our clan will not let you go!"
"You are only at level 5 and you dare to talk arrogantly to high-level magicians from other ethnic groups and launch surprise attacks. Even if your high-level sea monsters arrive, I will ask them who gave you the courage?"
"Is it because you are sea monsters that I have to shrink back?" Lu Yu snorted. He stepped forward and pressed a tentacle on his forehead. "I have killed many sea monsters. Who do you think you are?"
Tranquility Garden responded to the call, and after shouting "Lord" several times, he happily dragged the dying sea monster into his body.
There was no sense of accomplishment in instantly killing the previously fourth- to fifth-level sea monsters. As Lu Yu became more powerful, Xu Yu's pursuit became higher and higher.
She returned to Lu Yu without interest, only to see a group of whales turning their bellies below.
The healing magic learned during the Serra Theocracy came into use. Combined with the water element, he gently stroked the belly of the injured whale for a while. The whale stopped bleeding and the wound gradually began to heal.
The whales maintained their backstroke posture for a while and then slowly recovered their posture, blinking and observing the "briquettes".
"It seems to be a killer whale." Lu Yu's poor animal knowledge made him think for a while before he remembered the species similar to the whale in front of him.
"Killer whale... what a strange name is this? Is that what you call 'black and white whale'?"
"The way you name it is so straightforward and devoid of any sense of beauty... Do you just call it whatever color it has?" Lu Yu complained.
"But it doesn't look like a tiger either." Sierra retorted.
"Why don't we compromise and call it Black and White Killer Whale?" Lulu interjected.
This suggestion was naturally ignored by the two of them. After touching the heads of this group of unlucky new sea tribesmen, Lu Yu started his journey home again.
"They've been chasing us." Jeffrey reminded Lu Yu.
"Then speed up." Lu Yu said calmly, "After all, we are not a race in the sea. We meet by chance, and being able to save them once is considered fate. We can't always be their savior."
After a few times of acceleration, the water line behind the two people disappeared.
"Lu Yu, do you think it's possible that the threat the sea monsters feel is actually the sea's desire to protect these new races?"
Lu Yu was stunned by Jeffrey's guess.
He had thought about the specific threat felt by the Kraken countless times before. In their description, it was a "danger" that was almost condensed into substance, but the magic wave has never revealed its true identity until now. , which made Lu Yu puzzled.
Now seeing Siren's paranoid and crazy behavior, Lu Yu suddenly felt that Jeffrey's conjecture was not impossible.
I'm afraid the world's consciousness also knows that the birth of a large number of sea races will cause changes in the Kraken, the overlord who has ruled the ocean for a long time. In order to give the new race more room to grow, it has lowered "fear"?
"I hope you are right, otherwise...if there is really any substantial malice towards the Kraken, then based on their current performance, I am afraid that the Kraken's retribution will be great."
