Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Point of Light in the Coffin
In the fourth picture, the sharks are looking for something on the shore after dawn, and everyone is looking for it, and their expressions are extremely anxious.
Qi Wuxu counted the number of mermen, and found that compared with the previous picture, there was one less merman, and one merman disappeared after waking up the next day.
Qi Wuxu continued to look back, and the next pattern was that the merman clan was divided into two groups, and in the quarrel between the east and the west, behind one group was the sea, and behind the other group was an eight-legged statue.
Disagreements have arisen, and a break is inevitable, and now the sharks on the side of the sea, unwilling to continue to straighten their tails, advise the sharks standing behind the eight-legged statue.
Qi Wuxu said again, the number of mermaids was much less than before, and something should have happened in the middle.
They were terrified and did not dare to continue to set foot on land, but the guys who believed in the eight-legged statue were unwilling to leave.
In the later picture, the remaining mermaids continue to live on land, and their tails gradually grow into legs, gaining the ability to walk.
They really look like Terrans now, except for the fins on their ears and some scales on their arms, they are infinitely close to Terrans in appearance.
Continuing on, they began to learn to build, create palaces on land, and various habits have made them very different from the sharks in the sea, but they still think that they are sharks in their bones, so they carve the favorite patterns of the sharks on their items.
A new civilization was born here, and the eight-legged statue was placed in the most conspicuous place, and all the people of this civilized race would go to pay homage.
Eight legs draw life force from every merman who comes to worship, and the life span of the merman is getting shorter and shorter, and the strength of the new generation of merman is getting worse and worse.
Of the mermaids who participated in the sacrifice of the Eight Legs at the beginning, only the last three remained, and their strength reached the holy level, and they were the High Priests of the Eight Legs.
There was also hesitation and even confusion on their expressions, and every time the clan visited the eight-legged statue, they would feel uneasy.
Later, one of the three sacrifices reached the immortal level, and he discovered that Eight Feet was absorbing the essence of the life of the clan, but at the same time, he was also discovered by Eight Feet!
He kept telling the other mermaids what he saw, and no one believed him except for his two old buddies, they were ostracized, and Bajiao had a new sacrifice!
When the Immortal Shark was still trying to make his people believe in him, Eight Feet attacked him, not directly to shut him up, but to control the other Sharks in an incredible way.
In the face of the menacing merman, the immortal merman could only retreat, and he finally understood the sinister nature of these eight legs!
The Immortal Shark chose to avoid it, and then quietly sneaked back, intending to destroy the eight-legged statue alone.
However, what the immortal merman didn't expect was that this statue was actually sapient, and when the statue opened its eyes, the immortal merman was easily devoured, sucking up all the life essence, leaving only a pile of broken bones that could not be gathered.
Qi Wuxu took a breath of cool air, the life essence of the immortal, only when he reached this realm could he understand how strong he was, he was actually directly sucked dry by this thing, what kind of existence did those eight-legged people have to be!
Later, the mermaid tribe who lived on the shore was dominated by Eight Feet, and they didn't seem to know that Eight Feet was absorbing their life essence day and night.
A prosperous civilization gradually decayed into the hands of the Eight Legs, and no matter how hard they prayed, they did not change in any way except for the growth of legs, and even became weaker and weaker.
The city is no longer glamorous, only the castle is still magnificent, the princess Bai Xing, the eldest princess of the dry shark clan at that time, was born with a wisdom root, born with the ability to recognize the spirit, she discovered what the eight feet did.
When she learned all this, she knew that her power could not change anything, and she could only pin her hopes on the outside world, so she fled alone!
On the reef, Bai Xing met the sea shark tribe who was still a family tens of thousands of years ago, although her childhood education told her that the sea shark tribe was just a group of pedantic fools, but she was desperate and could only pin her hopes on the sea shark tribe!
Fortunately for Bai Xing, the Sea Shark Clan is willing to help her, and it is also tens of thousands of years of development, in this best era, the Shark Clan has risen and declined, while the Sea Shark Clan has been developing steadily!
Among the ancestors of the sea shark clan, there was one of those people tens of thousands of years ago, they listened to Bai Xing's story, but they did not expect that the statue that was worshiped in ignorance in front of them had now threatened the survival of the other half of their compatriots.
The sea shark clan has lived in the sea for many years, and it is difficult to leave the sea for too long, let alone trek to the mainland to fight an enemy who does not know the depths!
Later, the ancestors of the Sea Shark Clan decided to dig a passage from the sea to the castle of the Sea Shark Clan, so that they could fight more conveniently!
The Shark Clan is a united race, and they are unwilling to give up their suffering compatriots, and it took them five hundred years to dig an underwater tunnel from the bottom of the sea to Dry Shark City!
It took a lot of time to dig up the bottom of the Dry Shark City, and the last barrier was broken through to the maximum, causing the city that had existed for tens of thousands of years to sink into the water!
Although the sea shark tribe is not good at surviving on the shore, the sea shark tribe still maintains the ability to breathe underwater and survive, so this is regarded as a favorable fighter at the minimum cost.
However, everyone muttered that the eight-legged growth could devour an immortal existence in one bite, and it would be so easily destroyed.
Eight Feet controls the Dry Shark Clan, who has been worshipping him for many years, to wage war with the Shark Clan, and the ancestor of the Shark Clan is also fighting with him!
Even if the Sea Shark Clan has a large number of immortals, the number of immortals is very impressive, but it still can't destroy the Eight Feet.
In the end, the immortal ancestors of the Sea Shark Clan worked together to seal the eight-legged seal with the coffin of the Xuan Netherworld!
The pattern ends here, and there is no follow-up later, I don't know if the story ends here, or if the painting behind it has been destroyed.
Qi Wuxu shook his head, thinking of this big pit and this big lake, he couldn't help but guess, this wouldn't be the former Dry Shark City, right?
Qi Wuxu has very little knowledge of the merman, and he can't imagine that the merman clan still has such a history, but unfortunately these are all things that happened many years ago, it stands to reason that when a small world can be created, according to the legend of Cangxi told by Bai Ma, the continent has not been separated at that time, how many tens of thousands of years ago.
Qi Wuxu continued to grope around the wall again, and after finally turning around a lot, he was disappointed to find that there was really nothing.
It seems that in this small world, all the wealth is in the coffin! Qi Wuxu flew to the statue and looked at this beautiful mermaid statue.
Guess in my heart who this is, if it's Princess Shirahoshi. She shouldn't have a fish tail, she's a shark clan, but the mural doesn't depict other female sharks, it's really strange.
But strange and strange, the treasures may be in this only bronze coffin, if you don't take something when you come in, how can you say it.
Qi Wuxu flew to the hand of the merman statue, looked at the bronze coffin covered with patina, and then observed it around, but inadvertently saw the eyes of the merman statue, that exquisite face, with expressive eyes, and in the eye socket, there was a tear!
That's right, it's tears, stone tears, this statue is actually carved with a weeping merman, what's the point of doing that?
Qi Wuxu wasn't sure if this bronze coffin was the last one mentioned in the mural, after all, such an inconspicuous coffin looked really too ordinary.
Qi Wuxu observed the surroundings of the coffin, but he couldn't see anything at all, if he wanted to know the situation, he still had to open the coffin.
Qi Wuxu hesitated again and again, and suddenly had an idea, and blessed the left and right eyes with the power of different pupils, wanting to observe if there was anything unusual about this coffin hidden!
At this glance, I was indeed surprised, there was actually a point of light in this coffin, but it was a red point of light, and in terms of brightness, it was much brighter than that of Black Rock!
