Chapter 290: The Land of Fishmen
After staying in the seventh prison for nearly a month, Qin Tao successfully comprehended the "Splitting Wind Slash" in the second move of the Wind Law Technique, and then said goodbye to Dashan.
Passing through the iron gate leading to the eighth prison, Qin Tao suddenly came to a world under the sea.
The transparent film in the sky overhead separates the land below from the sea above, and the warm sunlight shines through the dark ocean floor and spills through the film to the land, giving a bright light.
The world under the sea is a city, and the architectural style is the same as that of the living continent, but the inhabitants here are fish people.
Qin Tao looked at the fish-people coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim: "There are really fish-people here......
This fish-man city doesn't look like a prison at all, it's just a cave world that dwells deep in the deep sea, Qin Tao walked on the streets, looked around, and was very curious about everything.
The language of the fish-people is the same as that of the mainlanders, so there are no barriers to communication.
Qin Tao had been gone for a long time, and he really couldn't think of where the door to the next prison would be in such a world. As he walked, though, a bar came into his sight.
The bar is definitely a distribution center for all kinds of news, so Qin Tao decided to try his luck in there.
The facilities and layout of the bar are very similar to those on the mainland, but these fish people seem to be a little disgusted with the humans on the mainland, and when they see Qin Tao walking in, they can't help but turn sideways.
Sitting down in a corner, the waiter was still enthusiastic, ordered something at random, and the waiter went about his work.
"Hey. You see, it's human. Suddenly, the extremely low voice of a fishman drinker came into Qin Tao's ears.
"yes. yes, another one to die. A fishman next to him said.
"It seems that the Shark Emperor is busy again......"
Hearing this, Qin Tao couldn't help frowning slightly, and secretly thought in his heart: "Who is the Shark Emperor in their mouths......
However, what had not come up after waiting for a long time had become a few sturdy young fishmen who suddenly appeared in front of the table. I saw that the first one was wearing a peaked cap, and a pair of fish eyes stared at Qin Tao viciously, as if he was provoking.
"Waiter! waiter!" Qin Tao called twice. But no one answered.
At this moment, the blue-skinned fish-man with the peaked cap spoke, "Stop yelling, come with us!"
"Where are you going?" Qin Tao looked at the fishman. Asked.
The drinkers in the bar cast a kind of smug gaze, and Qin Tao read from their eyes as if he was about to suffer an accident.
"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't want to die, come with us!" said the blue-skinned fishman with a slight anger.
Qin Tao crossed his arms on his chest and said, "Don't tell where to go." I'm not leaving. ”
But. The fishman immediately became angry, punched the table in front of Qin Tao, and said angrily: "You are looking for death!"
"Then I'd like to see if you have what it takes. Qin Tao did not show weakness.
Several sturdy fishmen behind the blue-skinned fishman suddenly made a move, and their hands with fins quickly pounced on Qin Tao, ready to press him there.
However, the drinkers in the bar showed frightened expressions in the next moment, not for Qin Tao, but for those reckless fishmen.
Qin Tao was still sitting there with his arms crossed. But the sturdy fishmen fell to the ground one after another, their faces full of pain.
"What did you do?!" asked the blue-skinned fishman angrily.
"What else can you do. Defend yourself. Qin Tao replied confidently.
Looking at the fish-man brothers lying on the ground, the blue-skinned fish-man thought that he would not be the opponent of the strange human in front of him, and immediately pointed at Qin Tao with his finger, leaving the sentence "You wait for me", and then left the bar angrily.
Qin Tao lowered his arms, ignored the fishman lying on the ground crying and moaning, and shouted loudly: "Waiter!
At this time, the waiter from before trotted all the way to bring the things Qin Tao ordered, and at the same time kept accompanying him.
But who would have expected that Qin Tao suddenly grabbed the waiter's collar and asked sharply, "Tell me, what are those people?"
The waiter was a small fishman, and under Qin Tao's questioning, he immediately showed a frightened expression, and at the same time shirked: "I don't know, I don't know......"
"Say!" Qin Tao squeezed the waiter's neckline tightly.
The panicked waiter pleaded, and a little sparkle appeared in the corners of his eyes, but except for these words begging for mercy, he didn't say the origin of those fish people.
"Looks like you won't be able to say anything without giving you some color. Qin Tao waved his fist and said coldly.
"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, small ones say yes, say yes......" The waiter pleaded.
Qin Tao let go of the waiter's collar and shouted, "Say!"
The little waiter wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice as much as possible, and said, "Big, my lord, those people are the subordinates of the 'Shark Emperor'......"
"Shark Emperor, who is he?" Qin Tao asked.
"He's the leader of our fish-people, and the one who hates humans the most......," the waiter replied.
"Oh, then do you know what will happen if I am taken away by them?" Qin Tao asked.
The waiter looked left and right, a trace of horror instantly appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "This, this, I don't, I don't know......"
"Do you want to be like them?" Qin Tao asked, pointing to the fish-man lying on the ground.
Seeing the fish-man crying and moaning on the ground, the waiter couldn't help but swallow his saliva vigorously and said in a very low voice, "I will die......"
Hearing this, Qin Tao snorted, leaned over to the waiter, and asked, "Do you know where that shark emperor's lair is?"
The waiter was startled, immediately waved his hands violently, and said in horror: "No, no, I don't know!"
The drinkers in the bar no longer dared to laugh at Qin Tao, they all held their wine glasses one by one, as if the scene just now had not happened.
But at this time, an old fishman at the bar spoke: "This guest officer, the old man advises you not to provoke the Shark Emperor." ”
"Oh?" Qin Tao looked at the old fishman and asked, "Why?"
"He's not something these guys can match. The old fish-man looked at the fish-men lying on the ground.
Qin Tao spread his hands helplessly and said, "I don't want to provoke him, but I can't prevent him from messing with me." ”
Hearing this, the old fishman sighed softly, moved his gaze to the bar in front of him, and said no more.
Qin Tao retracted his gaze, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it alone, while still guessing in his heart what kind of fishman this shark emperor was.
The few fishmen who fell to the ground did not receive too serious injuries, and they were already in good health, so they recovered quickly. However, when they saw that Qin Tao was still in front of them, these guys immediately ran out desperately.
The old fishman at the bar couldn't help but sneak a glance at Qin Tao, and a doubt arose inexplicably in his heart.
After a long time, Qin Tao had finished eating everything he ordered, but he didn't see any fish-people coming to trouble him, and Qin Tao couldn't get any useful information here. In desperation, Qin Tao had no choice but to pay the bill and leave.
"Since there are even leaders, there must be a city lord here. Qin Tao thought secretly.
So, Qin Tao returned to the bar, which couldn't help but startle the old fishman at the bar.
Holding his arms on the bar countertop, Qin Tao asked the old fish with a smile: "Boss, do you have a city lord here?"
"City lord, what is that?" said the old fishman in surprise.
"Hmm...... It's up to you who has the final say. Qin Tao explained bluntly.
The old fish-man let out an "oh", lowered his head, and said, "Our king." ”
Qin Tao was startled, and immediately blurted out loudly: "You still have a king here?!"
Because of the loud noise, the new arrivals in the bar suddenly looked towards the bar one after another, and when a human figure appeared in their sight, they unconsciously showed a look of disgust.
"Can't you just be quiet...... Of course it's the king, but we're a fish-man country here!" said the old fish-man proudly.
"Then where does your king live?" Qin Tao asked hurriedly.
"Naturally, I lived in the palace...... What do you want to do?" said the old fish-man cautiously, raising his eyes.
"What are you nervous about, I just want to visit, and you're afraid that I won't be able to eat him. Qin Tao said casually.
"You have two strikes, but you will not be an opponent of our king. The old fishman said confidently.
"That's not necessarily!" Qin Tao said and left the bar. (To be continued......)
