Chapter 385: Decision
Chu Feng couldn't help but change color slightly when he heard this, he didn't know what kind of mood the rebellious high priest was in when he diedโhe didn't understand why a high priest who was isolated from the world and had lived his entire life to protect the tree god would suddenly betray his lifelong faith.

I'm afraid that there is something hidden in this that has something to do with the Na Linggen, right?
But what kind of fear would make the high priest tear the scales off his body and drain all his blood?
But the woman obviously didn't notice Chu Feng's expression, and continued to tell about the past of the merman clan and the past of the tree god.
After that battle, the dryad fell into a long silence, and the flowers and bones between the blades of grass also lost their spirits, as if too much spirit was consumed in that great battle, causing the dryads to fall into a deep sleep again.
Since then, the life of the merman has been quiet again, the island has sunk into the depths of the sea, and the merman has lived a life of isolation again.
The dryad gradually regained his vitality in his long sleep, and the grass and the flower began to grow gradually.
One night not long ago, the flower once again shone brightly, lighting up the entire sky.
Fortunately, it was a daylight and no one cared - although they saw a human ship in the nearby sea, and they sent men to follow the ship to destroy it, so as not to leak the news and cause another disaster, but the high priest prevented them from destroying the ship.
The High Priest thought that mortals would never come near this place again, because they would no longer have such guts.
That's why the fishermen got away with it.
But in any case, the merman people are highly nervous, because this seems to be a repetition of the old events more than 3,000 years ago, and it is very likely that another big war is coming, so the merman people carried out a whole clan sacrifice in the former residence a few days later, praying for the blessing of the tree god.
It was also on that day that Chu Zi'er entered the island of the Holy Land and saw the grass and the flower.
But when she was discovered by a few naughty little mermaids who did not participate in the sacrifice, it was already time for her to leave the island, and the mermaids wanted to chase her, but they still failed to catch up after all.
Therefore, when Chu Zi'er took Chu Feng to the island for the second time, the mermaid clan was extremely hostile to them, especially when Chu Zi'er entered the center of the Holy Land again, a place that only the high priests of the past dynasties could enter, which caused public anger.
They all thought that the tree god was still sleeping, so they let these people survive from the center of the holy land, so they all couldn't wait to surround and kill, wanting to kill Chu Feng and Chu Zi'er, so as to ensure the safety of the tree god.
But the high priest stopped their actions, on the one hand, because the high priest later said to himself, Chu Feng had the same aura as the tree god, and on the other hand, because the high priest knew that the tree god had woken up, and the tree god did not embarrass them, as the agent of the tree god in the human world, how could the merman clan disobey the meaning of the tree god?
"But since the Tree God has already woken up, why do you need to wake up the Tree God?" Chu Feng asked with a frown.
The woman picked up the porridge that was already cold in front of her, took a sip, and then continued: "After you left, the tree god fell asleep again, and the high priest said that it may be because you have the same breath as the tree god, which briefly awakened the tree god, so after you left, the tree god fell asleep again, this is the only time that the tree god has woken up in more than 3,000 years...... So I thought, if you really want to help us...... Just go to the island and wake up the god of trees, and the god will help us escape the ...... of this disaster."
When the woman said the second half, although she used a declarative sentence, her tone and expression were full of speculation and uncertainty, because all of this was actually just the woman's irresponsible delusions and assumptions, whether it was true or false, and how credible it was, for Chu Feng, it was impossible to determine.
For such an irresponsible speculation, it is necessary to let an unknown person gamble with his life, and the woman herself can't bear it - but the chips on the other side of the gambling are the lives of her own people.
Chu Feng didn't think about this now, he was very strange, why did the tree god protect that Naling root, and where did that Naling absorb the continuous spiritual energy before it reached the realm where it could bloom.
Or is that the grass is actually not Nalinggen, but Chu Zi'er admitted that it was wrong?
Chu Feng thought about it, but still felt that these thoughts were very meaningless for the time being, because no matter how he thought, it was impossible to have an answer, after all, the world did not work according to his ideas.
Therefore, Chu Feng paused, looked at the woman, and asked, "Do you have a formation to guard the Holy Land?"
"Formation?" The woman looked at Chu Feng with wide eyes, her eyes were full of confusion, and she didn't seem to understand what the word formation meant.
Chu Feng couldn't help but be a little shocked by the ancient isolation of the shark clan, it was really not casual to resist the interaction with the outside world, there was not even a formation, no wonder Chu Zi'er would easily break into the holy land, and it would be easily broken by others.
Chu Feng's original idea was that if he could know the guardian formation of the Shark Clan, maybe he could still use his hands and feet on it, and then use it for himself, and he would swallow two more Naling Pills, or directly swallow a Na Ling Root to drive the formation, not to mention that he would definitely succeed, but at least as long as there were no eighth-order monks, there would be no big problem, but as a result, the Shark Clan gave himself such a surprise, and he could only completely abandon this unrealistic idea.
Chu Feng smiled and shook his head, instead of trying to explain what the formation was, he frowned slightly, and then asked with interest: "Since you resist communicating with the outside world, why do you speak the current language instead of the ancient language?"
The woman blinked, thought for a while, and then said: "Although my clan resists communication, it is not completely closed, and it will still intersect with the outside world more or less, so I also have to learn the language of the outside world. After all, our own way of communicating is through high-frequency vibration sound waves, which many races cannot hear, so we can't force you to learn our language. โ
Chu Feng was a little stunned, although he still didn't understand what the language of the Shark Race was all about, but he felt that the language of the Shark Race would probably be very interesting, and it was a sound that was difficult for humans to make and hear.
This kind of language, used for private communication, probably does not have the danger of revealing secrets, right?
Isn't that much different from the exchange of divine thoughts between monks?
However, Chu Feng really doesn't have time to invest too much energy in this interesting matter now, his energy must still be invested in how to try to help the merman, if he can help the merman, he may be able to have the opportunity to take a look at the Naling root, study it closely, or ask some questions to a living emperor-level being, at least the origin of the wooden whip and wooden chair in his hand can also be figured out.
Chu Feng asked the woman some questions in detail, except for finally learning that the original woman was called Scale, he didn't get any news of practical value, probably the merman is really a very simple race, and Scaleqi is a girl who doesn't pay attention to the girl around her.
Under Chu Feng's repeated questioning, Liang Qi almost cried, but in the end, he remembered some useful news.
There was a traitor among the mermaids, and the leader of the traitor was called Scalben, and Scallop was Scaly's cousin, the offspring of Scaly's uncle and a human woman who drifted to the Holy Land, and the woman drowned in the sea, and Scaly's uncle died soon after grief.
Scallop grew up with Scallop Qi, and the relationship between them is no different from that of a biological brother and sister, Scallop never thought that it would be Scallop who killed the high priest, and it would be Scallop who betrayed the Shark Clan.
"Are the descendants of the demon clan and humans......" Chu Feng couldn't help but show a little stunned, a mixed blood of mermen and humans, growing up in the merman clan, although his parents died early, but the family was still harmonious, but he eventually led some other mermen to betray the merman clan, what did he do?
"In fact, it is said that in the long years, the population of our race has been drastically reduced several times, and they have been reproduced by intermarriage with humans, and those children who show human characteristics but have no shark characteristics, and are not suitable for living in the sea will be sent back to the world, and only those children who have retained the characteristics of our race and can live in the sea will be left in the tribe. "It is even said that the wife of the high priest was a human being, but it was only later that she could not bear the life of my clan and abandoned her husband and children and left......
"Huh?" Chu Feng couldn't help but look at Liang Qi in some surprise, "Is there a high probability that the merman and the human will have offspring?"
Liang Qi was slightly stunned, revealing a very dazed expression, as if he didn't understand what Chu Feng was talking about.
Chu Feng frowned, drove these irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, and then got up and said: "When the tide is low tonight, I will go to the sea and go to the holy land of your clan, I will try my best, if there is really nothing I can do, I will also do my best to try to bring more people back, during the time I am gone...... Xiaoya, please take care of it. โ
Scales were stunned, and then said, "Am I not with you?"
"No need, it's too obvious if you follow me. Chu Feng replied, if you follow along, it won't be my help.
What's more, if you take you, once you meet with the people of Canghai Pavilion, it must be the end of your hands, if it's just yourself, maybe you can have a good talk with the people of Canghai Pavilion, and it's naturally better to meet An Luxue or An Luyun, two people he knows.
If such a position is not firm, of course Chu Feng will not tell Scales.
A word to readers:
Sorry for being late again, to be honest I doubt I can make it...... I came back from outside with injuries and illnesses, and I remembered a lot of things that were very depressed, but no matter what, tomorrow will be fine~
