Douluo: I don't want to be a spearman

"how?"

Facing Zheng Xi's question, the Mermaid King could only smile bitterly and lower his head in reply.

"I'm convinced! Your power is stronger than ours. We will sit down and discuss it with you in detail."

Seeing that the Mermaid King had surrendered, Zheng Xicai took back his domain and spiritual pressure.

In an instant, the mountain pressing on their souls lifted, and they fell limply on the sea, sucking in the air.

Zheng Xi turned around and returned to the deck, waiting for them to recover.

After a long time, the Mermaid King regained his composure, took the initiative to walk to Zheng Xi's boat, and spoke.

"Dear human strongman, please go to the island to rest for a while, and we will talk in detail about your protection of our clan."

Zheng Xi directly replied in the spiritual message: "Lead the way from the front."

Then he said to Shui Yue'er and the others: "Now you can calm down and talk peacefully. Yue'er, go to the helm and let's enter the island."

"Okay, Brother Xi." Shui Yue'er turned around and went to the captain's cabin.

Then, under the leadership of the mermaid, everyone drove the boat to the island.

When Zheng Xi and the others officially approached the trail, they discovered that it was a Strait Island.

It's like that. There are high cliffs on both sides of the door, and the waterway goes straight into the island.

It's just a hollow island.

Zheng Xi and the others followed the mermaids all the way, entering from the strait and going straight into the island.

I saw that there was a cave here. The stone pillars on the dome were standing upside down and hanging down. There were small drops of water condensing on the tips of the pillars, and the water droplets dripped into the sea below.

Around the wall, there are gems of various colors inlaid, dotting the dark interior of the mountain with dots of starlight.

Zheng Xi and the others docked the boat next to the wall and followed the Mermaid King along the path along the wall until they entered a cave at the top.

As soon as he entered the cave, Zheng Xi was shocked.

He thought that since the entrance to the cave outside was so simple, the inside wouldn't be that good either, but as soon as he entered, the situation here hit him hard in the face.

After they entered, they saw that the walls of the two hundred square meters of cave were inlaid with colorful gems.

On the top of the cave, a fist-sized luminous pearl was emitting a soft light.

Everything in this cave is illuminated, and next to it are five huge shells.

Each shell is equivalent to the two-meter by two-meter bed they usually sleep on.

Around the shells, there are various corals and seaweeds dotted, and these plants actually seem to be living in the seabed, and they are still exuding the aura of vigorous growth.

On the left side of the two rows of shells, on the first shell, there is an old woman with wrinkles on her face, sitting cross-legged on the shell.

They were all covered in burns from lightning strikes, and a sense of decay and death wrapped around her body.

While Zheng Xi, Shui Bing'er and the others were observing all these wonderful scenery, the Mermaid King had already walked up to the old woman.

After a while of chirping, the old woman opened her cloudy eyes and looked at Zheng Xi and the others.

After looking at it in detail, the old woman suddenly said: "Human? It's been a long, long time since I've seen it."

Zheng Xi was surprised that this old woman could actually speak Douluo Continent language.

"Huh? How do you know human language?" Zheng Xi asked curiously.

"Haha, this question is very simple. Having lived for nearly 50 years, traveling and exploring other sea areas is a task I should do for my tribe." The old woman answered Zheng Xi cheerfully.

Zheng Xi nodded: "That's it."

"Well, no more gossiping, let's talk about what happened this time!"

After listening to Zheng Xi's words, the old woman also put away the smile on her face. For the survival of the ethnic group, no matter how cautious she is, she can't be too cautious.

Therefore, she said with a serious face: "Okay. Please tell us in detail how you plan to protect our tribe."

Hearing this, Zheng Xi didn't waste any words. He summoned the second martial spirit, used the domain to isolate the world, and repeated the words he said to Di Tian and Snow Emperor to the old woman and the Mermaid King.

After listening to Zheng Xi's description, the two of them talked and argued in detail for a long time before the old woman finally spoke.

"Let me do the sacrifice!"

After saying this, the old woman looked at the Mermaid King with kind eyes.

"Nami needs to lead the tribe to continue to survive. Only she is the king of the mermaid tribe."

"My rotten body, which has not even survived the 50-year soul beast calamity, will give it a helping hand for the world of the Realm Lord!"

"Okay!" Zheng Xi nodded. His martial soul world only requires one soul ring. No matter who sacrifices it, it will be the same.

Moreover, with the old woman's current physical condition, sacrificing herself to the world is the best choice.

"Now that we're done talking about business, please explain to me your race and the situation here!"

"With pleasure." The old woman nodded in agreement.

"Before I explain to the Realm Master, please let me introduce us to the Realm Master in detail."

Zheng Xi said nothing and motioned to the old woman to continue.

"This mermaid Nami is the king of our latest generation of mermaids, and I am the king of the previous generation, and now I am the great elder of the mermaid clan."

"And the history of our mermaid clan goes back to hundreds of millions of years ago, during the battle between spirit beasts and human gods."

"As soul beasts in the mortal world, we have also launched a battle for survival on the continent with humans."

"And this battle directly led to the annihilation of many soul beasts. The better groups, like our mermaid clan, only have two or three big cats and kittens left."

"According to the records of our clan, after that battle, the only remaining members of our clan were the flames of the clan who did not participate in the war, and a hundred underage mermaids."

"And we, the mermaid clan, are born with the ability to control the power of water and control the giant beasts of the deep sea."

"The price of being a naturally powerful race is that it is difficult to reproduce."

At this point, the old woman paused, as if imagining an ancient scene.

Zheng Xi didn't interrupt, and waited for her to come to her senses and continue talking.

"The mermaid clan takes at least a thousand years from birth to adulthood, and the standard for adulthood is to become a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

"Because that battle was too deadly for the mermaid clan, we moved out of the deep sea area of ​​Douluo Continent and moved closer to the shallow sea area of ​​Douluo Continent."

"But this is also the beginning of disaster for the mermaid clan."

"There, we not only need to resist the human soul masters, but also the soul beasts in the deep sea area that were previously hostile to our group."

"This has made our clan even worse. After struggling for hundreds of thousands of years, we still have less than a hundred members."

"Led by the mermaid king at that time, we began to migrate again, trying to find a home that was friendly to us."

"So, we migrated along the ocean towards the end of the sky. Along the way, some of our tribesmen were born and some of our tribesmen died."

"I don't know how much time has passed while stumbling, but we still haven't left the deep sea area before, and we are blocked there by the enemy spirit beast."

"Our two tribes started an endless battle, and people from the two tribes began to suffer heavy casualties. Both sides began to be unable to bear the consequences of the large number of deaths of their tribesmen."
