"Who are these seven below? Are they the king's knights? Or are they the king in charge of the seven seas?" Anne's mind was filled with Western legendary systems, and the imaginary organizational structure was quite in line with "King Arthur".
Shui Lingxing explained: "It's not the king, it's the seven 'Kings', nor are they in charge of the Seven Seas. The power system of the Mu Continent is different from your ancient West. Although the Holy King and the Royal Family have the highest power in name, after all, that The era is not entirely dominated by the human race. Each intelligent race has a strong foundation. If the Holy King wants to unify the Mu Continent, he must get the support of these intelligent races. He relied on his strong strength and broad mind to convince the seven major races. The clan kings met in the 'Nalingsi Sea' and swore that the seven clans would always be loyal to the Holy King and the royal clan. This set of statues shows that historical fact. Let me introduce them to you one by one. The first one on the left is 'The Abyss' Wang'Tumi, the Abyss clan lives in the deep trenches. They can withstand strong water pressure, are ferocious and bloodthirsty, and are violent and murderous. They are definitely a barbaric nation, but this nation has a powerful army and a large number of riders. The huge eight-clawed octopus was rampant in the ocean at that time. Legend has it that the Holy King broke into the abyss trench alone with the "Dragon Arc" and was invincible. He directly captured Tumi alive and finally made him surrender. As for whether this race still exists now? No one knows anymore, anyway, in the era when I was alive, they had long become a legend that was about to be lost, and they are probably extinct."
Everyone looked at the first statue on the left. Although it stood in human form, its mouth was full of sharp fangs. The fins on its limbs were spread out and full of sharp thorns. The knees of its legs were anti-jointed. It didn't look like a human at all. On the contrary, it looked like a statue. Like "Alien" in the movie. The weapon it held was even more weird. It looked like a spear, but the spearhead was like a sharp claw, which was ferocious and terrifying.
Then Shui Lingxing pointed to the second person on the left and said: "The woman holding the long sword should be familiar to you, right? She is the sea monster or the king of the shark clan. Her name is still very loud to this day. She is the Siren. , the sea monster in ancient Greek mythology. This old witch lived for nearly ten thousand years, and later she died. However, the sea monster family is still prosperous, and they are distributed all over the world. The third person holding a spear is The king of the Snake People is named Renxi. Don’t look at them. The Snake People are upper body human and lower body snake. However, they are a clan with extremely high IQ. They are not warlike, have no army, and the group is not large, but they are all Scholars, some are thinkers, some are writers, some are proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and some are good at scientific research. The splendid civilization of Mu continent is absolutely inseparable from the contribution of the snake people. This is a great nation, but there are thousands of scholars. There has been no news of their appearance in this year, and I am afraid they have also been lost in the long river of history.”
Ling Hao raised his eyebrows. According to Chinese legends, Fuxi and Nuwa, the ancestors of humanities, were half-human and half-snake. Could it be related to the snake-human race?
"The fourth one in the middle is naturally my ancestor Haitian Xing." Shui Lingxing proudly pointed to the male mermaid in the middle holding a trident. After all, this is the temple of the mermaid clan, so the statues of their ancestors will naturally be placed in the middle. As for how everyone stood back then, who knows? "We, the mermaid clan, are good at soul arts and wave arts. We love freedom and peace, are kind to others, and have never resorted to militarism. Unfortunately, our reproductive ability is not strong, and our clan members are dying day by day. I don't know if any of my clan members still exist in the ocean now. Yes." Shui Lingxing said sadly.
"The fifth one is Human King Yuanchu of the human race." Shui Lingxing pointed to the old man standing next to Haitian , the only flaw of which is a short lifespan is made up for by its powerful reproductive ability, so it has always been the most prosperous race on the Mu continent. The human race is hard-working, tough, and has strong adaptability to the environment. Relying on their strong reproductive ability, they can survive in this era Standing out from the crowd is also an inevitable trend.”
The appearance of the sixth one is probably the weirdest among the seven. How can I put it? It is basically a big crab standing upright. It is only the two human eyes that can make people see that it has wisdom. , in other respects it is just an arthropod. It has no weapons, and it just raises its large pincers to intersect with everyone's weapons, which looks very uncoordinated. "This is the king of the Panshi clan, named Lei Shi. Your eyes are not deceiving you. This is the only arthropod group in the world that has evolved intelligence. They usually live near submarine volcanoes and can also live on land. , legend has it that they had a large number of tribes back then and were a big tribe on the continent of Mu. The Rock Tribe people were honest and straightforward, easy to get along with, but they were also extremely fierce when it came to fighting. It is said that before the Mu continent was unified, they fought several times with the Abyss Tribe. After a hundred years of fighting, there is no winner between the two sides. I don’t know if this ethnic group still has blood left. Even if it does, I’m afraid it’s still struggling on the edge of extinction.” Shui Lingxing sighed and said. Times have changed. All ethnic groups in that era, except for the human race, have declined and perished. This is the general trend of the world and the law of nature. Even the Holy King, who is as powerful as a god, has no way to stop the progress of the wheel of history. Just like the royal family cannot prevent the sinking of the Mu continent.
"The last person holding the long sword is King Gaia of the 'Wing Demon Clan'. The 'Wing Demon Clan' is probably the race that has the least connection with the ocean on the Mu continent. Although they look like humans, they are actually But there is a big difference. They have a pair of huge flesh wings, can fly, and their mouths are full of fangs. They like to go out in the dark night and specialize in sucking the blood of animals for a living. Although there are only a few in number, every one of them is Monster-like existences, if it weren't for the fact that it's extremely difficult for them to reproduce, I'm afraid they would be the ones ruling the world."
"Isn't that a vampire?" Everyone shouted in surprise.
Shui Lingxing said calmly: "I don't know what they are called now, but in modern human society, I'm afraid they will become extinct."
"Why?" everyone asked in confusion.
"Their immune systems are too ancient and have no immunity to many diseases of modern humans. The pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and heavy metals remaining in the bodies of modern humans and animals are even more poisonous to them," said the Winged Demon Clan. 'It's also too difficult. It's so difficult to find some green, pollution-free food these days. If you're not careful, you'll eat yourself to death." Shui Lingxing shook his head and sighed.
Everyone was laughing. Who would have thought that such a powerful and mysterious race would now become such a vulnerable group, as if it were an endangered species that needed to be protected. Anne was even more stunned. The image of a vampire in her mind instantly shattered on the floor, and she didn't even bother to sweep it away.
As they commented on these statues, they were almost at the feet of these statues. From this angle, they were extraordinarily tall and majestic, especially the Holy King, who felt like a god. No wonder this place was so crowded. called a temple.
Only then did they notice that there was a simple golden throne under the half-circle of statues, with a mermaid skeleton sitting on it, and a shining silver trident leaning on the ground. Although it was already He looked like a dead man, but he still had the aura and majesty of a king.
Ling Hao asked Shui Lingxing: "Is this the last king of your mermaid clan?"
"No, 'Eubitis' is not the royal court of the mermaid clan, it is just the largest city on land for our clan. Our royal court is in the 'Sea of Ten Thousand Stars', which is a 'lost sea' that even our mermaid clan None of his descendants know where he is. However, this person should also be a very high-status person in the clan. The clan king holds a golden trident, and those who are qualified to hold the silver star trident are only the clan king's brothers or He's his son. Ling Hao, this trident is considered a sacred object of our clan. I have to get it. Can you help me take it back?"
Ling Hao smiled and said: "It's a small thing, I'm happy to help." After saying that, he was about to go forward to get it, but was immediately stopped by Shui Lingxing.
"Go and get it now. The trident will automatically attack you. I have to make it my weapon first." After saying that, Shui Lingxing swam over, first bowed deeply to the corpse, and then stretched out his hand to hold it. Got the "Silver Star Trident".
The moment Shui Lingxing's hand touched the trident, a wave of fluctuations was transmitted from the trident, and the Starry Sky Temple began to tremble slightly, which made everyone very nervous, thinking that Shui Lingxing had caused some trouble. .
"If it doesn't work, just leave. Don't take risks!" Ling Hao shouted to Shui Lingxing.
The latter replied: "I have been dead for a hundred years, what else do I have to be afraid of? Is it possible that I can die twice?"
Tian Yong immediately retorted: "You are dead and we are still breathing. You can't drag us all to be your companions."
At this moment, a large square hole suddenly appeared on the ground behind the throne, and a stone pillar as thick as a basin slowly rose up, with a crystal ball the size of a football inlaid on it. When the stone pillar rose to the height of the skull's head, it stopped. A hazy light shot out from the crystal ball and swept back and forth on Shui Lingxing twice, as if to confirm her identity.
After a moment, the light retracted, and a screen of light radiated out from the crystal ball, forming an image of a man, like a holographic projection. This is a mermaid man wearing a moon-white linen robe. He does not look to be more than forty years old. He has a handsome face, with silver hair hanging behind his head. His eyes are soft and he looks gentle, but his handsome face seems to be covered with a layer of darkness. Black air, looks very bad. He smiled slightly and began to speak, and a loud voice immediately echoed in the temple.
"Finally, a junior came to me. I don't know how long I have been dead when you saw this video. Maybe no one in this world remembers who I am. So I'd better introduce myself first. I His name is Hai Linguang, and he is the eldest son of Hai Qianhong, the king of the mermaid clan, and the future heir to the throne. Of course, I can't inherit this throne. Suddenly suffered this disaster, and 'Eupitis' became a dead zone in my hands. I am afraid that neither my father nor my clan will forgive me for this crime. Since you, as a member of the same clan, can see the image I left before my death, you are a destined person. I am willing to give you the sacred weapon in my hand, the Silver Star Trident. 'Given to you, I hope you can help me do one thing when you are able, and that is to kill the devil Papillon and avenge me and all the people of Eupetis." Hearing the devil At the words "Papillon", Shui Lingxing's body trembled obviously. She had obviously heard of this name, and killing this demon was probably a very scary thing, because Shui Lingxing's body had already begun to tremble non-stop. .
Naturally, the image would not feel her emotional changes. Hai Linguang was still talking: "The matter must start one hundred and twenty years after Lu Chen. It is said that the human race, the snake race and the winged demon race have settled on other continents. Well, it's all wild there, full of unintelligent beasts. The only indigenous people are also very ignorant. They only have some simple language skills, use stone tools, wear animal skins, and live a primitive tribal life of hunting and gathering. I don’t know what happened to farming. I think the tribes that migrated there must have had a harder time. I heard that many people died. The Abyss tribe returned to their birthplace, the northern abyss. The Kraken tribe went west. We traveled further afield, perhaps because they were separated from our clan, but I felt that they just didn’t want to stay with us. There were more members of the Panshi clan, and they were divided into several branches to search for volcanoes all over the world, and only less than one clan was left. Thousands of people stayed near some volcanic islands in the north of this continent. The royal people are still watching on 'Yibo Island', and they don't know what they are waiting for. This continent no longer exists, and they are no longer the kings here. , maybe they are worried about the future of their own clan. Thanks to our ancestors for giving us the ability to survive tenaciously in the ocean, Lu Shen did not cause us, the mermaid clan, to suffer much loss. Even after the sinking of 'Eupitis' It is very well maintained. But everyone seems to have forgotten that since the city of Eupetis was built, the Holy King borrowed our family's "Coral Tree of Origin" to suppress the demon "Bapilon" in the city. Below. Lu Chen made a trench open in front of the temple, and when the icy seawater gushed out, I had a premonition that something was not good. The devil's prison had been loosened, and a day like a nightmare would eventually come."
