Those who escaped the catastrophe jumped into the sea one after another, they were pleasantly surprised to find that they could swim quickly, plus these people were in good physical fitness, had practiced some Qi exercises, and slowly adapted to survive in the sea water.

At first, you can only stay in the sea for an hour, and slowly you can breathe through your body, you can stay in the water for a few days and nights, and then you don't have to breathe at all, but sometimes you feel a little lonely, so you climb to the reef, look at the moon in the sky, and sing some songs of nostalgia for your homeland.
However, it is also full of dangers in the sea, they have to face the challenge of survival, after all, they are the first time to go to the sea, for the creatures of the sea, they are invaders, so at the beginning they received attacks, in the sea water often received sharks and octopus attacks, heavy casualties, under the round-up of sharks and sea monsters, in the sea water tore their bodies apart, bitten into pieces, the remaining population of Daxi Zhou is less than 10,000, surviving in the sea.
Unable to disobey the will of the god of the sea, they did not flee to other islands, so they continued to dive deep into the depths of the sea, where there were some remnants of buildings, some of which were well preserved, such as the pyramids, and they burrowed into the pyramids to hide from the sea creatures.
Most of the time they take refuge in the pyramids, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and some of the spaces in them are not soaked in the sea, and there is some air, and when they catch fish, they will put the rest of the food in it and store it, and the food will not rot for a long time.
In order to survive, these underwater people are also mermaids, and after a long struggle with the environment, they have mastered the survival skills in the seawater, using bone forks and flying spears to hunt at the bottom of the sea, improving their ability to catch large sea creatures, and sometimes catching a whale is enough for them to eat for a long time.
Then the rest of the time they spent studying, and inside the pyramid they set up several places, martial arts training grounds, study grounds, medical fields, living places, nurturing grounds, etc., forming a Haitian society inside the pyramid.
In order to live on the bottom of the sea, they have to face severe living conditions, the temperature in the sea is very low, which requires a lot of energy to resist the cold, they have to eat six meals a day, so at the beginning they spend a lot of time hunting fish, fortunately, there are many shellfish and lobsters on the bottom of the sea, when these easy-to-find food are eaten, they have to continue to expand their living space, go to farther places to feed, so that the probability of danger increases a lot, resulting in them are often attacked by giant fish, and many people die.
Their number has changed from nearly 10,000 to more than 2,000, seeing that there are fewer and fewer races, their leader is in a hurry, and if it goes on like this, it will be completely over, they are facing a major crisis, and in order to survive, they must have enough food, although there is a lot of food at the bottom of the sea, but coexist with the crisis, and there are often sharks and sea monsters lurking around the food.
After the discussion of the leaders, an aquatic farm was finally established at the bottom of the pyramid, specializing in the cultivation of shellfish, sea cucumbers, lobsters, etc., and some small shellfish picked up were put into it to be raised, and aquatic plants were collected for breeding, and gradually their food was guaranteed.
To deal with giant creatures such as sharks, they set up traps that would entangle the shark with nets when it violated the trap, and the merfolk would take a spear made of whale ribs and plunge into the shark's body, killing the shark.
After solving the problem of food, they have to consider the continuation of the race, at this time there are only more than 100 women left, and there are more than 800 men left, thus forming a female-dominated underwater society, as long as these women and mermaids agree, they can have a relationship with them, for the continuation of the race, many moral and ethical things are no longer worried.
After hundreds of years of development, the number of people grew to more than 10,000 people, after recuperation, and after a thousand years, the number of people reached 100,000, after 10,000 years, the number of people reached nearly one million, and later because of the consideration of survival, the mermaid tribe was divided into three groups and distributed to other areas to live.
At the same time, they pay attention to education, summarize the survival skills of the past generations, and pass them on to future generations, and they no longer pay attention to the teaching of martial arts, the reason is that they think that the punishment is caused by the talent of human beings is too strong, the martial arts are too high, and it is the source of all instabilityIt is because of greed and unbridled demands that many people lead to the destruction of the environment, and finally sink to the bottom of the sea. They pursue a plain and natural life, with peace and joy in their hearts.
In the core of the pyramid carved a statue of the sea god, thanks to the sea god for rescuing them, here became a place of their spiritual beliefs, but also raised a sea python, become their god of protection, just like the incarnation of the sea god, this python is from the sea god mountain to find the sea python egg hatched, it is getting bigger day by day, from a few feet long to a few zhang long, the life of the sea python is very long, when the generations of fish people died, it has always existed, lived for tens of thousands of years, and finally the body can not enter the pyramid, it is entrenched on the island of fog, become the overlord of the nearby seas, spit out fog every day on the island, and the fog has a certain toxicity, Those nearly 1,000 remnants of the Great West Continent who stayed on the Misty Island were eroded by poison for a long time, becoming less human, and finally becoming monsters, just like Xiao Lang'er met the mountain charm and the dragon on the island.
These people lived in the pyramids from then on, and when the population grew, they expanded to other seas, and they found habitable places in the Dragon Triangle and the Bermuda Triangle, where the sea was extremely treacherous, and under the surface of the sea, they found several huge pyramids, and since then they moved here, and when there were ships passing by on the sea, they set off whirlpools to suck down the passing ships, and since then few ships have passed on them, making their whereabouts more secretive.
Of course, not all undersea people are without ambition, there is a tribe that wants to rule the entire ocean, they secretly practice martial arts in a private place, and finally come out to kill their compatriots everywhere, so that they are obedient, this tribe's perverse behavior led to the attack of all the mermaid tribes, under the leadership of a mermaid leader, these sinister mermaid tribes were slaughtered, but let some particularly powerful run away, they occupied a deep sea secret place, continued to cultivate, and even wanted to find thirteen crystal skulls, control time and space, to rule the entire sea, to satisfy their wolf ambitions。
After nearly 20,000 years of adaptation and development, these mermaids are extremely fast in the sea, so fast that even sharks can't catch up, and with a flick of their tails, they can set off monstrous waves.
