Chapter 257: Fish-Man Giant
Religion plays an important role in the society of the Fishmen, who usually worship water and the powerful things in it.
Aside from water, there is no fixed object of worship in the Fish-Man religion.
Any new and powerful sea power that the Fish-People encounter is likely to see them as objects of worship, and the Fish-People are happy to introduce or abandon a species to suit the current situation.
For example, a group of fishmen may worship a Naga Sea Witch and perform various strange religious rituals to pray to the Naga Sea Witch. Until one day, a large shark eats the Naga Sea Witch, and this shark replaces the Naga Sea Witch as the object of prayer of the fish people.
In the religious rituals of the Fish-People, the only constant is the water itself, which is regarded by the Fish-People as the mother of life.
The Blacktip Clan also worships during their religious rituals, and currently the Blacktip Fishman prays to a sea giant who can manipulate the tides.
The sea is rough.
Dagun, the sea giant, tread the waves, and every step of his pillar-like legs stirred up a storm on the surface of the sea around him.
Dagunn made his way towards the island of the Altar of Oaths, and impatiently slapped the sea with his weapon, making a loud noise.
The weapon in Dagun's hand looked like a spear, but it was actually a mast that he had removed from a sailboat, which showed how large he was.
Dagunn stepped onto the island, and he could travel a long distance with one step, and in a few steps he came up and down the hill of the Altar of Sea Vows.
The fish-men of Ratchet Town were blocked at the narrow junction leading to the uphill slope, but the sea giant Dagunn didn't need to go uphill at all, he stood on the sand below the uphill slope, his shoulders were already level with the altar of sea vows.
"Who summoned Dagune?"
Dagunn spoke like thunder and exhaled like a cloud, and as soon as he spoke, he caused a small storm around the altar of the sea oath.
"Yes...... It's me. ”
Thief Eye's body swayed in the whirlwind, unable to stand still, and she shouted at the sea giant against the wind.
"It's you little fishman again." Dagune seemed to be disgruntled as he spoke, "What about my sacrifice?" ”
"The offerings will be moved right away."
Since it was decided to use the Sea Oath Altar just now, the sacrifices were not placed on the altar in advance, and the Thief Eye had already asked the fish-man to go to the cave to carry the sacrifices.
At the entrance of the cave, the fishmen carrying the sacrifices were frightened by the sea giant's tall body and unfriendly tone, and they did not dare to come out one by one holding things.
"Bring the offerings!" The thief's eyes shouted angrily.
The thief's eyes are usually very powerful, and the fish-man heard her roar, so he could only walk out of the cave.
Soon, the altar of sea vows was filled with all kinds of food, and in the middle was a large white mussel shell.
"That's all? Well? ”
When the sea giant Dagunn saw these sacrifices, a rolling roar came out of his throat, and it was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the altar and was already angry.
The thief's heart was bitter, because the incident happened suddenly, she had no time to prepare, and she could only use the food stored in the cave this time for emergency.
Thief's Eye remembered the last time the entire Blacktip Clan was ready and summoned Dagun. In the end, because he was dissatisfied with the sacrifice, he made a big fuss on the island, almost destroying most of the island's buildings.
Thinking of that scene, the thief's eyes were shocked, this Dagunn was an extremely greedy sea giant.
The thief's eye approached the altar of the sea oath, and on the stone platform of the altar was a large white mussel shell, which contained her own jewelry processing collection.
As a fish-man who rarely trades with the outside world, it is not easy to collect various gems and metals and other materials for jewelry processing, and it took a long time for the thief eye to collect the materials and make some good quality finished products.
"The real sacrifice is inside this mussel shell, and inside is the magical items I have collected and made." Thief's Eye said to Dagun.
Sea giants love items with magical powers, and that's clear to the thief's eye.
"Oh?"
When the sea giant heard that there was a magical item, he immediately became interested, and he brought his head close to the altar of the sea oath.
"Open it up!"
At the urging of Dagun, the thief's eyes slowly opened the big mussel shell with both hands.
The inside of the mussel shell is empty!
The thief's eyes were stunned.
"Little fishman, you're playing with Dagun!"
Boom!
The mast of the sailboat in Dagun's hand roared down, and the fish-man hut of the Thief's Eye was shattered, and the Thief's Eye was also shaken away by the huge shockwave.
Dagun, the sea giant, was utterly enraged.
……
Of course, there was nothing left in the big mussel shell with the thief's eye, because the things inside had already been taken by Yang Yi. Yang Yi was worried that he would be discovered too soon, so he specially buried the mussel shell back in the sand.
The sea giants were furious and went on a killing spree, spreading their anger on everything in sight.
The Ratchet Fishmen, who are still on the island, have suffered, and they have become targets for sea giants.
Yang Yi hurriedly let the fishmen in Ratchet Town scatter and escape, otherwise if they gathered together and were swept by a mast of the sea giant, it was estimated that the entire team would be directly disabled.
"Little Naga, let Tesser fight this sea giant!"
Yang Yi hurriedly asked Little Naga to go back and command Tether, and only this Kraken sea monster on the scene had the ability to fight the sea giant.
Little Naga quickly ran to Tesser, who climbed on top of him and directed him to swallow water arrows at the sea giant.
The sea monster Tesser and the sea giant Dagunn battle on the surface of the sea, and the waves are like a tsunami.
The fish-people on the island are in disarray, and neither the blacktip nor the ratchet are now willing to fight.
Yang Yi glanced around, and found that after the sea giant vented his anger and beat him indiscriminately just now, the thief eye had already taken advantage of the opportunity for the ratchiodons to disperse and escaped.
"Retreat all, get out of here!" Yang Yi gave a decisive order.
Elephants fight and trample to death ants, and they can't stay here.
Yang Yi didn't bother to organize a team of fishmen to pursue the thief's eye again, he first let the ratchet fishman flee for his life.
Braque was left behind by Yang Yi in order to reconvene the fleeing fishmen.
Yang Yi took Ben Bo Ba and a few other little fishmen to chase the thief's eyes.
The thief's eye is clever and cunning, and he has already swam far in the sea.
Yang Yi and the others found the big sea turtle and the plesiosaur mount and chased after them.
The Thief's Eye spotted her pursuers behind, and instead of heading to another island in the bay this time, she fled to the coast.
Yang Yi and the others followed the thief eye all the way to the coast, but the thief eye had already taken the first step into the swamp on the shore.
The swamps of the Dust Swamp are full of vegetation and reeds, artemisia grass, and trees such as water pines.
As soon as the thief's eye entered the swamp, Yang Yi lost her trace.
"Go quickly, bring the wise man of the Blacktip Clan." Yang Yi said to Sister Gudong.
The environment in the swamp was complicated, and Yang Yi didn't know the situation inside, so he didn't venture into it.
Gollum rode the plesiosaur and went back to bring the wise man of the Blacktip Clan.
"Say it! Does the Thief's Eye also have a place to live in the swamp? Yang Yi asked the wise man of the Blackfin Clan.
"I don't know." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan replied.
"Don't know?" Yang Yi was puzzled.
Yang Yi noticed that the wise man of the Blackfin Clan was saying that he didn't know, rather than answering yes or no.
"The Eye of the Thief used to go into the swamp too?" Yang Yi asked again.
"Yes, the patriarch often goes to the swamp, but never lets the fishmen of the clan follow."
"It's so mysterious, what secrets are there in the thief's eye that you didn't tell us?" Yang Yi asked.
"No, I told you everything I knew." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan was terrified, "I only know that when the patriarch came back from the swamp, he often brought back some jewelry and ornaments. ”
"Bring back jewelry and trinkets?"
Yang Yi was thoughtful, it seemed that the thief's high-level jewelry processing skills were probably related to this swamp.
"Think about it again, where might the thief's eye be hidden in this swamp, or I'll call you!" Benboer threatened.
"I can't think of it, I really can't think of it." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan was so frightened that he kept shaking his head.
Yang Yi could see that continuing to coerce the wise men of the Blackfin Clan would probably not have any effect, so he said, "If I can catch the thief's eye, I can consider letting you go." ”
The wise man of the Blacktip Clan is the number two person of the Blacktip Fish Man and the right-hand man of the Thief Eye, and Yang Yi doesn't believe that he doesn't know any clues.
Hearing Yang Yi's words, the wise man of the Blackfin Clan suddenly stopped shaking his head and became silent.
Sure enough, this Blacktip Clan wise man still knows something.
"Think about it again."
Yang Yi said, motioning for Mo Momus to go over and loosen the binding on the Black Fin Clan's wise man.
"Can I trust you?" After the wise man of the Blackfin Clan was loosened, his attitude began to loosen.
"The master does what he says." Yang Yi packed the ticket.
The wise man of the Blackfin Clan looked at Yang Yi's eyes, Yang Yi had nothing to lie, if he could exchange his thief's eyes for this wise man of the Blackfin Clan, it would be a very cost-effective deal.
"I know of a place where our patriarch might go, but I can't be sure." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan said slowly, "If you find our patriarch there, you will let me go." ”
"Take us there, as long as you catch the thief's eye, the master will let you go." Yang Yi assured.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
The wise man of the Blackfin Clan led Yang Yi through the edge of the swamp, all the way to a remote place.
A fish-man village is located in a valley that leads to a swamp in a dreaded bay, and the size of the fish-man village is small, and it looks like two or three hundred people.
Fish-Man Village usually has no walls, and Yang Yi can clearly see the situation in the village from outside the village.
In the fish-man village, a large group of fish-people gathered around and screamed, as if they were arguing.
What surprised Yang Yi was that all of these fishmen were tall and strong, and the whole was a giant fish-man village.
"Why are these fishmen so tall?" Yang Yi was surprised.
"The fishmen of this fish-man village have always been like this, they are born to grow so tall." The wise man of the Blacktip Clan replied disapprehantly, and he continued: "These fish people know how to eat every day, and their brains are stupid, so they are useless. ”
Yang Yi recalls the time when she was on the island.
At that time, the lobster-man slaves tried to rush to the Thief's Eye residence, but they were blocked by a group of tall fish-men at the intersection, and it seemed that those tall fish-men came from this fish-man village.
Yang Yi knew that there were unusually tall goblins, big trolls, and big naga, and it was the first time he knew that a fish-man could grow so big.
