Cheng Sheng entered the secret realm hand in hand with Zhong Ran, so the two of them entered at the same location.
As for the rest, they were probably scattered in different areas of the swamp.
Flying is prohibited in the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain.
So after carefully observing the surrounding environment, Cheng Sheng and Zhong Ran headed towards the Tianshan Mountains, paying attention to the 'inheritance of ancient immortals' that might appear at any time.
As the saying goes, it's like running to death by looking at the mountain.
In addition, flying was prohibited in the secret realm, and we had to be careful of possible dangers along the way, so Cheng Sheng and Zhong Ran didn't move very quickly.
So after driving for nearly a day and night, the two of them could still only vaguely see the shadow of the Tianshan Mountains through the heavy fog on the swamp.
They are still quite far away from the Tianshan Mountains.
In this way, the two of them walked for nearly half a day, and suddenly they saw that there were inexplicably more reeds on the swamp.
These reeds growing on the swamp are almost no less than ten meters high, and they are densely packed, blocking the surrounding view.
As the number of reeds increased, a figure appeared not far away—an unknown creature with the head of a fish and the body of a human.
Zhong Ran stopped, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Is that thing in front of you a mermaid?"
"To be precise, it should be a fish-man."
Chengshuo explained: "In my hometown, those with human heads and fish tails are called mermaids, while those with fish heads and human lower bodies are called fishmen."
The fish-man not far away seems to be a creature with self-awareness and intelligence.
It was in the reeds, cutting the yellow-brown reeds with a sickle, and constantly throwing the tips into the basket behind it.
Perhaps he felt the eyes of Chengshuo and Zhong Ran.
Halfway through the cut, the fish-man suddenly stopped without warning and stared at the two adults with his eyes.
The fishmen don't seem hostile.
It just waited for Cheng Huo and Zhong Ran without speaking, nor did it show any intention to attack them.
After a moment of confrontation.
For the sake of safety, Chenghuo rushed to Zhong Ran and said, "Let's take a detour. There is no need to provoke that thing."
"Indeed." Zhong Ran nodded in agreement.
She and Cheng Sheng faced the fish-man together and slowly backed away.
not far away.
When the fishman saw the two men retreating, he no longer paid attention to each other, but silently cut the reeds with yellow-brown tips.
The fish-man cutting reeds just now seemed to indicate that the two of them had entered a special area.
As the two of them continued to go deeper, there were gradually more and more reeds along the way, and the number of encounters with fish-men became more and more frequent.
Although these fish-men have a strange appearance, their behavior is no different from that of normal humans.
When we encounter them alive, some are cutting reeds, some are catching fish in small swamp ponds, and some are wandering aimlessly in the swamp.
At first, Chengshuo and Zhong Ran would try to avoid these fish-men.
But as the number of fishmen around became more and more, these fishmen only stared at survival without showing much hostility.
So over time, Chengshuo became accustomed to the existence of fish people.
Finally, he plucked up the courage to find a fish-man cutting reeds, and at a certain distance from him, he cautiously said, "Excuse me, can you understand what I'm saying?"
"Of course." The fishman stopped what he was doing, put the sickle on his waist, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chengshuo's eyes show a thoughtful look.
Considering that the fishmen would catch fish in the small ponds in the swamp, he patted the storage bag on his waist, took out the dried fish that he had never eaten, and handed it to the fishman.
Borrowing the dried fish, Chengshuo asked, "Are you humans too? Why don't you feel weird at all when you see us?"
The fishman took the dried fish, weighed it in his hands, and then put it to his nose to smell it.
After confirming that there was no problem, he went to his subordinates and replied: "We can be considered human beings. Our ancestors were, but after being cursed, we became like this."
It’s good to be able to communicate
Seeing that the fish man was willing to accept the dried fish, he was overjoyed and said, "Then do you know if there is any inheritance left by the ancient immortals around here?"
"I don't know." The fish man replied: "But you can go to the village ahead and ask, maybe you can find out some news related to the inheritance of the ancient immortals."
"A village?" Chengshuo said with a strange expression: "You still have a village?"
"Why not?"
The fishman said matter-of-factly: "Except for our weird looks, we fishmen are no different from ordinary people, so naturally we have our own village."
"Our fishman village is always short of food, so you only need to bring food to our village, and it shouldn't be difficult to get some useful information."
"Are you in need of food?" Zhong Ran glanced at the basket frame behind the fish man.
Then he glanced at the fishman catching fish in a small pond not far away, and said puzzledly: "I think you eat a lot."
"you misunderstood."
The fish man said: "The sharp point of these reeds can be eaten, but because there are too few, we won't be able to eat enough, so we cut the reeds mainly to make fire."
"We fishmen are humans too, we don't eat raw food, and there are only a few trees in the swamp, most of which are dilapidated and decayed, so making fire with reeds has become our habit."
"As for the fish in the pond."
The fishman continued: "Catching fish can indeed fill our stomachs, but like reeds, there are too few fish, so we are almost always hungry."
Zhong Ran said in surprise: "So, you only live by eating reed tips and fish in small ponds? Won't all those fish be caught?"
"No." The fish man said, "Every once in a while, a lot of fish will fall from the sky in the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain."
“Some of the fish landed in the village and were eaten directly by us, and some of them landed in small ponds or under the mud of swamps.”
"These fish will become our food rations for a long time to come."
Perhaps it was to dispel the concerns of Chengshuo and Zhong Ran.
The fish man said, and then added: "In short, as long as you have food, you can feel free to go to our village to exchange information."
"Because monks come to our fish-man village every year, or even every month, so we are used to it."
"So not many fishmen will pay attention to you."
"You are no different from other monks."
"There won't be too many murlocs paying attention to us? Not necessarily." Zhong Ran on the side retorted: "Almost all the murlocs who saw us glared at us along the way, including you."
"this"
The fish-man said speechlessly: "You misunderstood. Our fish-men's eyes are protruding, and we are not glaring at someone."
"This" Zhong Ran also said speechlessly: "Okay!"
Live your thoughts for a moment.
In order to find out which monks came back to Yurencun, he deliberately did not mention the country of Daliang, but just tried to test the fishmen: "Excuse me, what you just said, those monks who came to your village, most of them are Where did it come from?”
"Everywhere."
The fish man said: "Like the Domain of Pain, Mitian City, and many other small places, monks almost always come to the Tianshan Secret Realm to hunt for treasures."
The realm of pain?
Mitian City?
Chengshuo subconsciously looked at Zhong Ran aside.
The latter also cast a puzzled look at Chengsheng.
From this point of view, not only Cheng Sheng, but also Zhong Ran had never heard of the 'Realm of Pain' and 'Mitian City'.
Not surprisingly, these two locations should be located outside the Daliang Kingdom.
Chenghuo secretly wrote down the names of these two places.
Considering that the murlocs around them did not show any hostility, and the strength of these murlocs was not very strong, with only cultivation levels around the embryonic stage, safety was guaranteed to a certain extent.
Therefore, Chengshuo planned to visit the fishman's village first.
First, I came here to find out information about the inheritance of the ancient immortals.
Secondly, it is to learn everything about the secret territory of Tianshan Mountain as soon as possible.
