507 Statue of the Three Goddesses

I don't know if the speed of the crabs underwater is not as fast as that of the mermaids, or it may be that those mermaids will be more vicious in the water than on the shore, after the mermaids retreated, the warrior crabs did not go to the sea to chase.

The little crab lady only smashed the shallow ground with the huge conch hammer, impotent and furious.

After venting for a while, she finally thought of the life-saving benefactor just now, and dragged the hammer back again.

"You helped us get rid of those bad things and saved me, you are a good person!"

Crab Ji is dressed in a red crab armor, with white feather weaving, and a star helmet in the shape of a crab shell on her head, revealing only a fair and delicate little face, and a few strands of yellow soft broken hair falling from her sideburns, which at first glance looks like a small can that can move.

But it is undeniable that she does have a bit of the temperament of a majestic ocean general.

Crab Hime is much shorter than Kamiyagawa, and she has to tilt her head up for close conversations.

Maybe it's because the big crab shell on top of her head is too heavy, and it always feels a little hard to watch her look up.

This may be due to the illusion brought about by the combination of the petite size of the little crab girl and a heavy armor, no matter how this guy is also a C-level monster, it is estimated that he is not so weak.

"Good man......"

Kamiya Kawakomi said that I saved you just because you were good-looking.

However, it is impossible to say this kind of inner words directly, so Kamiya only groaned for a short time, and then nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, I'm a good person, and I can't see those evil krakens doing bad things." ”

"Uh-huh! Those rockfish and iso girls are good and bad! ”

Listening to Kamiya's words, the big eyes under the little crab girl's star pocket flickered.

As long as you scold those rockfish and rock girls with me, you will be my friend!

Looking at her appearance, Kamiyagawa inexplicably felt the urge to knock the crab shell on the top of her head with the handle of the knife.

He was a little curious about what it was like to knock on this set of crab shells that looked like they had been cooked.

However, considering the first time they met, and the other party was still a little girl in appearance, this impulse to be impolite was suppressed in the end.

"I haven't seen you on Crab Island, you look a little like Isome......" Crab Hime began to look at Kamiyagawa seriously, but changed her words halfway through, "No, no, no, it's a little like me." Where are you from? ”

Maybe she thinks that Isonu is evil, and that the "good guy" in front of her shouldn't be classified with those bad things.

So it's better to say that he is like himself.

"I'm from outside the Sea Country."

"Outside?" The little crab girl's eyes flickered even more, and she danced with curiosity and excitement, "How did you get into the Sea Country from outside?" ”

"This ......"

Without waiting for Kamiyagawa to answer, the samurai crabs on the beach all gathered around.

The giant crabs, which were more than two meters tall, approached rampantly, standing behind the crab hime, forming a high iron and black wall. The stalks in their eye sockets stick out, their eyeballs fluttering, slightly wary locked onto the outsider's body.

This scene is a bit oppressive, but Kamiyagawa is not afraid of a group of D-class youkai.

Even if he doesn't call out his Aragami, he can easily overthrow these monsters with his personal strength.

So, Kamiyagawa just held a text in his hand, stood with his back upright, and grinned lightly at those big crabs.

Well......

It seems that the little crab girl is quite innocent and looks very clichΓ©d, but the vigilance of these big crabs seems to be quite high.

"Crab Hime, can I call you that?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Do you speak in charge?"

"What...... What do you mean? ”

"Listening to what you just said, it seems that no one has ever entered the Sea Country from the outside, right? So I'm special. ”

"Uh-huh! Very, very special, I've never met anyone from outside. ”

"Then I'm a very, very special guest, and I'm still a great person." Kamiyagawa put a text into the scabbard, "Then you should be qualified to meet the leader of your affairs, right?" ”

Crab Ji thought for a while, seemed to understand something, nodded vigorously, the heavy star above her head shook twice, and she raised her hand to straighten it again: "I understand, I'll take you to see the crab shop owner's grandfather!" ”

As she spoke, she turned to lead the way.

The warrior crabs around them were like high walls, their eyes poking out and shrinking from their shells, looking at each other, and finally giving way.

These big crabs are vigilant, but it is an indisputable fact that Kamiyagawa rescued the crab Ji just now.

With such a premise, the samurai crab side will naturally not regard him as an enemy without knowing what to do.

The little crab lady had just turned around and saw a large number of samurai crab carcasses left on the beach, and the excitement on her face quickly disappeared and became dim.

"You...... Can you wait? My people are not allowed to stay here, I will bring them home. ”

This little girl really doesn't have the appearance of a city government, and her joy and anger are clearly written on her face.

"Of course."

Kamiya nodded.

After that, he didn't rush the samurai crab side, just waited quietly on the beach.

It was only when the crabs carried the corpses of their own clan that Kamiyagawa followed the mighty procession of giant crabs from the beach into the jungle behind.

……

Not long after entering the jungle, Kamiyagawa came to a forest avenue.

Originally, there was no road here, but the huge warrior crabs often went back and forth in this area, knocking down and crushing the trees along the way, and the more they walked, they naturally formed a path.

After trekking along the muddy road for a while, Kamiya also had some exchanges with Crab Hime along the way.

However, the interest in this little canned crab was obviously not as good as it had been at the beginning, and the joy of winning the battle and seeing the people of the outside world was only temporary, and was now completely overshadowed by the sacrifice of the kindred.

Kamiya sporadically got a little bit of information from Crab Hime's mouth.

For example, why they fought with the merfolk.

According to Crab Hime, she was leading her clan to check the sea conditions when she was suddenly attacked by the group of mermaids.

The two camps of the samurai crab side and the mermaid side seem to have never dealt with each other.

Crab Ji only says that mermaids are evil bad guys who often infest Crab Island and clash with the inhabitants of Crab Island.

But this is the first time that a battle of this magnitude has been held.

"Those bad guys must have been holding back their bad intentions for attacking us." Crab Ji said.

As for why they want to look at the situation in the seawater.

Crab only said that the situation in the sea has deteriorated very much, and those deteriorating red waves have begun to erode Crab Island.

She didn't know why this was happening, and the samurai crab side seemed to know very little about the changes in the ocean, but she thought it must be the mermaids' ghosts.

In this way, there was a ride and a chat, and the forest shade in front of Kamiyagawa was reduced, and a huge and primitive tribal-like building complex appeared in front of him-

Ahead is a huge cliff with dense caves covering the cliff face.

The air here is humid, the rock walls are covered with mud and moss, and some of the less lush flowering vegetation is slippery and difficult to climb.

But in front of almost every cave, you can see wooden platforms tied to wooden stakes, each fixed to the wall, connected by a long wooden plank rope ladder to form a huge cloister.

On the ground and on the rock wall, you can see many samurai crabs with human face lines on their backs.

However, most of the crab inhabitants in these territories are not as large as two meters, and they do not seem to have a D rating.

So those warrior crabs who followed the little crab girl to fight should be the elite warriors on the crab side.

In the center of the entire tribe, under the cliffs, Kamiya River also saw a huge stone sculpture, ancient and magnificent.

The stone carving has a soft curve, but the surface is a little mottled, so it is difficult to specify the physical characteristics, only to see that the carving is a woman, arms in the gentle posture of holding a baby in front of her chest, from a high place lovingly overlooking all beings.

"Will these crabs still carve?"

Kamiyagawa looked up at the stone statue and thought so.

The crab girl on the side noticed his gaze, and after respectfully saluting in the direction of the idol, she took the initiative to speak: "That's our god, the sect statue of the great Kanda Shinhime, and our crab clan are all the descendants of the god of the sect." ”

The statue of the Great Kanda Shinhime, also called Okutsushima Himemei, or Tajiri Himemei.

Kamiyagawa is also relatively knowledgeable in terms of strange tales and myths, so he knows the situation of this pillar god.

Tian Xinhime is one of the three goddesses of the sect, and is a god born when Susanoo and his sister Amaterasu cleanse each other's artifacts on Takamagahara to verify whether Susanoo has the idea of attacking Takamagahara.

It is recorded in the "Records of Ancient Affairs":

"The two gods made a vow to the Tian'an River. When Amaterasu took the ten-fist sword of Susanoo, he also made the string of his eight-foot Qiong Hook Jade vibrate, and took the water of the true name of the well of the sky to cleanse the sword, gnaw his sword, and blow a narrow mist in his mouth. In the mist, the three goddesses are nowβ€”"

"Its god name, Doji Ji Mei, also known as Otsushima Ji Mei; The god of the second appearance, the city of the island of Ji Ming, also known as the narrow Ji life; Again, Taki Dohime's fate appeared. ”

The three goddesses of the statue were all later goddesses of the sea, and Tian Xinji was the eldest daughter of the three goddesses. In the real world, the three sea goddesses are worshipped at more than 7,000 Muneika shrines throughout Japan, and because they were washed from Susa's Celestial Tail Feathers, they are believed to be the daughters of Susanoo.

"Tian Xinji, one of the three goddesses of the sea. What is now known is that Susanoo took refuge in Yellow Springs in the Divine War, but it is not known what the position of his three daughters looked like. Since these warrior crabs consider themselves to be the heirs of this goddess, it is difficult to say whether they are friends or foes with me. ”

Kamiyagawa thought to himself.

"You wait here, I'll go and explain the current situation to the crab owner's grandfather." Crab Ji pointed to a huge cliff cave not far away, this cave has the lowest terrain and the largest entrance, "Grandpa is there." ”

With that, the crimson crab tin trotted along the wooden cloister with a conch hammer.

Because of her heavy armor, this little girl is estimated to be surprisingly heavy with her stocky equipment, and the wooden cloister squeaks and sways when she runs upwards.

Kamiyagawa watched from below, and was really worried that this primitive large building would collapse.

However, there are also a lot of giant warrior crabs on this corridor, so it shouldn't be a particularly fragile and dangerous structure...... Right?

……

Waited for a while under the statue of Tian Xinji.

During this period, many samurai crab natives were looking at the Kamiya River from a distance, and among the huge samurai crabs returning from the beach, there were also a few crouching nearby, seemingly resting quietly.

Kamiya didn't pay much attention to them either, just waited.

Waiting is necessary.

Since these warrior crabs are the indigenous inhabitants of the Sea Country, they must know a lot about the situation here.

It doesn't matter if it's friend or foe.

Now that we've gotten a little closer to their camp, it's time to gather some information from them.

Lest you be blinded in the map of the Land of the Sea.

After a while, a blue crab about one meter long came down from the corridor, a pair of large jaws in its mouth opened and closed, and the voice of the urn sounded: "Outside guests, the crab owner is very grateful for your help to the crab Ji and his party, and the owner hopes to talk to you." But the owner is too old to leave the cave, so please come with me. ”

"Okay."

In addition to the little crab girl, there are also crabs who can speak.

As an immortal, Kamiyagawa was fearless, and followed the blue crab directly up the wooden corridor, and after a short walk, he came to the mouth of the huge cave.

"The crab owner is waiting for you inside."

The blue crab that led the way had two pincers on his chest, which looked quite polite, and stayed at the entrance of the cave.

Kamiya nodded and walked into the massive cavern.

The environment in the cave is much better than expected, relatively clean, and there is no bad smell, just a little damp and cold.

Soon after going deep into it, you can see a huge deep pool.

The light in the cave is dim, but with the additional extraordinary visual perception of [Autumn Hair], Kamiyagawa can roughly see the area of this deep pool, and the water covered by the surface of the cave alone is 100 meters in diameter, and the structural space in the depths below may be larger.

The little crab girl is not here, but before Kamiyagawa came to the deep pool, he saw two circles of ripples in the pool, and a pair of crab eyes the size of a truck wheel poked out from under the water.

"On behalf of the crab clan of Otsushima, I would like to greet you on behalf of the crab clan of Okuzu Island, and thank you for helping the children of the clan."

Huge bubbles gushed out of the pool, and there was a sound like a bell, and it was drooping.

The sound came from underwater, but it was clearly audible and echoed through the vast cavern.

Okutsushima ......

It sounds like the name of this giant island, and it should be named after the god of Tian Xinhime.

Crab Ji used to call this place Crab Island, which should be a common name.

"You're a crab owner?"

Kamiyagawa stared at the pair of crab eyes in the middle of the deep pool, and guessed in his heart the strength of this huge youkai.

It may be at the level of Aragami, but the breath is like a gossamer, and it seems to be very weak.

"It's me, as you can see, I'm too old to walk and can't come out to meet you, please forgive me." The old voice echoed through the cave once more.

"Out of the way."

"Guest, where are you from? There seems to be a godly aura similar to that of the great god of the sect statue on your body. ”

The crab owner seemed to be aware of Kamiya's Takamagara's aura.

However, it specifically pointed out that this breath is similar to Tian Xinji, perhaps to show the position of the crab clan?

Tian Xinji was on the side of Takamagahara in the God War?

"I'm from the same place as your sect statue god." Kamiya thought for a moment and replied.

"That's an adult from Takamagahara."

The crab owner under the deep pool did not change much, and there seemed to be a little joy in the old tone.

This couldn't help but deepen Kamiya's suspicions just now.

Look at what this means, Tian Xinji is really on Gao Tianyuan's side in the God War?

Speaking of which, neither the tribe of warrior crabs nor this huge cave has the filthy smell of Yellow Springs.

It stands to reason that after coming into contact with the power of Huangquan, even a god as strong as Ah Cheng Thunder God may be infected.

So, the Crab forces are not the enemy?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. ”

The crab owner's tone was a little respectful and expectant: "So, my lord, what are you coming to Okutsu Island for?" ”

"I am here to witness the birth of a new lord of the sea country."
