Chapter 1680: Kindness Causes Trouble
The few remaining members of the Sharp-Beaked Clan could only hide in the most remote places in the waters of the Styx, and they didn't even dare to show their faces.
Under the suppression of the Shaguang Fish Clan, the Sharp-beaked Clan has long lost their original activity, and few people even see them anymore.
Due to the kindness of the ancestors, the dolphin clan was tossed to pieces by the Shaguangyu clan, although it was not wiped out, but it was also devastated.
is still a general of the Styx Water Clan, he really can't stand it, and uses his status as a subordinate of the White Bear Venerable to reluctantly place the Dolphin Clan in a shallow water area and get out of the predicament temporarily.
Thanks to the protection of the water general, the survivors of the dolphin tribe and the sharp-beaked clan are struggling to survive in a remote corner.
"I thought that the days of hiding in Tibet were over, but unexpectedly, the turtle king who managed this water area caused us trouble again. ”
Sharp Beak looked at Yichen and explained: "The Turtle King is greedy, often asking for money, and when he is not satisfied, he controls our access to water resources. ”
The dolphin clan and the sharp-beaked clan escaped from the tiger's mouth and fell into the wolf's den again.
Although the Turtle King was not sent by the Shaguang Fish Clan, he relied on the power in his hands to wantonly oppress the members of the Aquatic Tribes in the area under his management.
There are no resources in remote areas in the first place, and the dolphin tribe and the sharp-beaked people are just poor baba to survive.
However, the turtle king still requires the members of the water tribe to come up with a corresponding amount of resources according to the location of the area, saying that it is to pay management fees, but in fact it is extortion and forcible seizure.
After years of escaping for their lives, the dolphin clan and the sharp-beaked clan have long been so poor that even their lives are in question, so they naturally can't 'honor' the turtle king.
So, in a fit of rage, the Turtle King drove the Dolphin Clan and the Sharp-Beaked Clan to the even more barren shallows, saying that as long as they scraped together enough management fees, they would be able to return to their original living area.
The shallows have few resources other than water and mud, not to mention the lack of food to sustain life, and even the aquatic plants are invisible.
The almost transparent water exposes all the actions of the dolphin and the sharp-beaked people to broad daylight.
The occasional ferocious member of the Aquarium can easily capture the Dolphin and the Sharp-Beaked and turn them into their own food.
The harsh living environment has pushed the desperate members of the two ethnic groups to a dead end.
Over the millennia, the number of members of the two ethnic groups has been declining and declining.
When it came to the generation of Brother Dolphin and Sharp Mouth, it was a good time, that is, the old king of the Xuanbing Kingdom, who was willing to accept the members of the Styx Water Tribes into the Xuanbing Kingdom.
This move of the old king has simply become a lifesaver for the dolphin clan and the sharp-beaked clan.
Brother Dolphin and Sharpmouth became the first batch of members of the Aquatic Tribe, seeking a chance to survive on the land of the Ice Kingdom.
Although it is difficult for the Shui people to live on land and their habits are different, they have to face all kinds of new difficulties in order to reproduce their race.
Even so, Brother Dolphin and Sharp Mouth gradually transferred their clansmen to the Xuanbing Kingdom, and so far, the members of the two clans who remained in the Xuanbing Kingdom have reached more than 1,000, accounting for sixty percent of the entire ethnic group.
"Therefore, you do not want to return to the waters of the River Styx, and you do not dare to offend Changheng. After listening to Brother Dolphin's sharp mouth, Yichen was embarrassed.
With the cultivation strength of these two, it is obvious that they can defeat Chang Heng, but they would rather compromise and even endure their own clansmen being killed by officers and soldiers, rather than being enemies with officers and soldiers.
It seems that Fat Bear is right, the Emperor of Sand Light has really brought disaster to the Styx Water Tribe.
Yichen once disagreed with Fat Bear's compromise, but now he understands that Fat Bear is actually more rare than fighting to the death.
Just like Brother Dolphin Sharp Mouth said, if it weren't for Fat Bear's compromise, his subordinates might not have the opportunity to help the Dolphin Clan, maybe the Dolphin Brother Sharp Mouth in front of him, and their people, would have been wiped out a long time ago.
"It's not that we don't dare to offend Chang Heng, but we can't cause trouble for His Majesty, after all, we have survived until now thanks to His Majesty's enlightened policy......"
As a human monarch, it is so rare to be so tolerant of aliens.
If it weren't for a spy like the Jade Clam Shrimp King, who brought a huge hidden danger to the Xuanbing Kingdom, the old king would not have issued a deadline order.
Brother Dolphin hated Chang Heng for being corrupt and perverting the law, but he was grateful to the old king for saving his life.
Even if the clan has casualties, Brother Dolphin must not let himself become the fuse of the war between the water tribe and humans.
The real reason for their reluctance to leave early is that Brother Dolphin and Sharp Mouth have not yet bought enough resources, and even if they return to the waters of the River Styx, they may not be able to survive in the shallows.
As a member of the Water Tribe, he survives on the land of the Xuanbing Kingdom, and although it is difficult to survive, he can still continue the population.
After a deadline, Brother Dolphin was reluctant to leave, and had to consider going back.
The problem is that if they can't make up the so-called management fees, they don't have the opportunity to live in slightly better conditions.
The environment around the shoals was simply not enough for the members of the two tribes to find enough food.
In the past few decades, Brother Dolphin has been busy everywhere, constantly bringing out the people from the shallows, and there is basically no surplus of resources and food that can be obtained.
I finally found out the news of the Ice Cream Flower, and I was going to exchange some resources after picking it so that I could bring it back to the waters of the River Styx, and in addition to paying the management fee, it was best to leave a little reserve for the clansmen.
In the North Ice Depression, he encountered Xiong Hou and the two Xuantian Sect elders, and after a big battle, the Ice Ling Flower fell into the hands of Yichen.
Fortunately, Yichen was quite kind, so Xiong Zhuang gave Brother Dolphin more than 500,000 crystal coins, and finally didn't let them run in vain.
It's just that, according to the Turtle King's requirements, the resources exchanged for these crystal coins are barely enough to pay the management fee, as for whether the members of the two clans can really change to a place with a better environment as the Turtle King promised.
Even so, after discussing with Sharp Mouth, Brother Dolphin decided to prepare various resources to fight the Turtle King.
"500,000 crystal coins, it's only enough for management fees, isn't this a robbery?" Although Yichen didn't care much about crystal coins and the like, he also felt that the Turtle King was too greedy.
According to the living needs of ordinary people in the Tianluo Continent, 500,000 crystal coins can allow 1,000 people to get food and clothing for ten years, and even buy some household belongings.
Brother Dolphin and all the clansmen with sharp mouths add up, and there are only a few thousand, and if you are careful in your calculations, you can live for at least five or six years.
Putting so many crystal coins in the hands of the Turtle King could not ensure the stability of the lives of the two clans, and judging from this alone, the Turtle King was really insatiable.
"Once the Xuanbing Kingdom no longer accepts members of the Aquarium to come ashore, the crystal coins are worthless in the waters of the River Styx, so what the Turtle King wants is all kinds of resources, not just crystal coins......"
According to Sharp Mouth, the Turtle King's jurisdiction is not large, mainly in some remote shallow water areas, and there is very little wealth that can be collected.
In order to ensure his 'profit' as much as possible, the turtle king divided these areas into several levels, with the basic guarantee of food as the standard.
The Dolphin Clan and the Sharp-beaked Clan have never given the Turtle King any benefit, so naturally they can only stay in the worst shallows.
Brother Dolphin felt that this time the old king's deadline might put an end to the water tribe members going back and forth between land and water, and from then on, the only place they could stay in was the waters of the River Styx.
After getting 500,000 crystal coins, Brother Dolphin and Sharp Mouth rushed to various trading venues similar to auction houses as soon as possible.
I hope to buy more things that can be seen by the turtle king, so as to seek certain benefits for the clansmen.
However, with the issuance of the deadline, many members of the Water Tribe have lost confidence in the value of the crystal coins, and they all want to spend all the crystal coins and buy what they need before leaving the Xuanbing Kingdom.
As a result, some low-priced ordinary materials have become hot, and the same crystal coin can only buy less than half of the original thing.
Resources, which are already relatively scarce, are even more rare commodities to live in, and prices continue to rise, but they are still in short supply.
After some hard work, Brother Dolphin and Jianzui finally basically spent 500,000 crystal coins, and only bought 30% of the expected goods.
In addition to being disappointed, I also want to use the last two months to try to get more resources, even if the grade is a little lower.
Yichen said in the Arctic depression to give some more, and he didn't care about Brother Dolphin's sharp mouth at the time, but now they really hope that Yichen is still willing to keep his promise.
"That's easy to say. ”
Yichen took out a storage ring from his arms, handed it to Brother Dolphin and said:
"There are one million crystals here, you quickly send someone to the southern region of the Xuanbing Kingdom to buy some necessities......
"This ......" Brother Dolphin frowned while being delighted.
Yichen demanded that he could only buy a small amount of cultivation resources, and the rest was mainly purchased with food that the members of the two clans relied on for survival.
As for the so-called things that can make the turtle king look good, don't buy anything at all, so as not to waste crystal coins.
"Isn't that ......" Sharp Mouth was also deeply embarrassed.
In their opinion, the living environment of the clan is in urgent need of a change, and if the turtle king's requirements cannot be satisfied, they can only continue to stay in the shallows full of dangers.
"Even if you exchange all these million crystals for resources, will you be able to guarantee that the Turtle King is really satisfied?"
Yichen saw that the two of them looked puzzled, so he had to explain: "Instead of pinning your hopes on the turtle king, it is better to do something practical for the clan, whether you can change the environment or not, it is not up to you to decide."
However, as the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hands, do what you can do first, and the rest can only be done when you reach the waters of the River Styx. ”
If you blindly do what you like and bet all your chips on the turtle king, in case the turtle king changes his hexagram, wouldn't it be a chicken and egg fight.
"Yes, the turtle king is really unreliable, he has cheated the eel clan before, and he didn't do anything after taking the benefits, and he starved hundreds of members of the eel clan to death. ”
After listening to Yichen's explanation, his sharp mouth suddenly opened up, and he said with palpitations.
