Chapter 365: The Mysterious Ancient Clan
Li Sixian smiled at Lin Shu and turned to follow, Zhang Huiyao pulled Li Xiaoxin to walk behind, Ludel also followed Zhang Huiyao, and Lin Shu and Lao Wang followed behind.
The distance is very close, and there is a lighting stone, Lin Shu can clearly observe this strange race in front of them, the tights on their bodies are very smooth, but if you look closely, you can see subtle ripple-like lines, this should be the skin of the sea beast, the reason why it is a tight-fitting style, it is likely to have something to do with their frequent entry into the water.
The dura membranes on their eyes, as well as the excessively large pupils, are actually very telling, this race is likely to live underground and under the sea, as for their predecessors, it is difficult to say, from the point of view of their proficiency in the language prevailing on the continent, this race does not seem to be completely isolated from the race on the continent, maybe it is a race that has moved from the continent to live in the sea.
"Lao Wang, have you heard of this race? Greensammen, this is a transliteration, right?"
"In your words, Greensemon is the one who fights the storm. Ludel turned his head and grinned, his smile full of pride and disdain.
Lin Shu didn't understand, what was his disdain, could it be that he had an inexplicable sense of superiority like the Niya people?
"The aristocracy has always lived in the sea?"
"Our ancestors probably originally lived near the land and the sea, and as the name suggests, with the evolution of our race, we slowly went deep into the sea, and now we are able to thrive in the depths of the sea. ”
Lin Shu was stunned, this evolution is a bit strange, humans generally evolve towards the sky. Some people are still evolving to the underground! What kind of mentality is this?
"I see. So the nobles are free to move around the deep sea?"
"Of course. How else do you think we got here?"
Lin Shu suddenly said: "By the way, I remembered when you said this, this is the bottom of the sea, right?"
"That's right, we're now more than 2,000 meters from the bottom of the sea, and the bottom of the sea here is more than 1,900 meters from the surface. ”
Lin Shu nodded, it seems that this deep valley tribe still has a lot of communication with humans, and even knows the unit of rice.
"Mr. Ludel, I would like to ask if you domesticated those bugs?"
"Huh. It's not domesticated, you can think of them as free-range, these guys look powerful, but in fact they have obvious weaknesses. ”
"What are those eggs used for?"
"Oh, that's a precious material for alchemy, don't you think we're going to eat those eggs?" Ludel's very large eyes looked at Lin Shu with a smile, with a hint of sadism and contempt.
"Hehe, I really guessed that just now. Lin Shu said without hesitation.
"It's hard to eat and it's poisonous. But the eggs can be used to make potions that strengthen leather, and that's what we wear. The anti-magic properties are very good, and they can keep warm. ”
Lin Shu nodded appreciatively, to be honest, the leather coat does look very delicate and sturdy, if a girl wears it, it must be very sexy, Lin Shu thought about it and couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaoxin.
"It's really beautiful, is this thing precious?"
"Leather is still very valuable, but it's not unsellable. ”
Lin Shu looked at Ludel in surprise, this guy definitely didn't want to act like that just now, but more like a shrewd businessman, maybe their race treats women differently.
"That's great, I love the leather. Can I ask about those bugs?"
Of course, that's not a big secret, in fact, both Uncle Li and Aunt Zhang know the habits of the scleroderm. ”
"That's called a crusty worm!"
"yes, you don't think the name sounds good?"
"That's not it, I just think it should have a more resounding name. ”
"In the sea, these guys are the food of powerful monsters, what kind of nice names do you want, hehe. ”
was despised again, but Lin Shu didn't care at all, and continued to smile and smile: "Are those guys here to breed underground?"
"Yes, they usually breed for a month and they leave. ”
"There was water in that cave just now, and they seem to be throwing something into the water, is that necessary for breeding?"
"Yes, they're digging holes here and there, just to find the kind of ore that dissolves in the water and becomes so poisonous that the larvae of the scleroderm need to live in this liquid for a year before they enter the ocean. ”
"I see, but how did they dig the passage all the way to the surface?"
"Ha Luha, how intelligent do you think these worms are, because there is the ore they need. ”
Lin Shu smiled: "In that cave just now, there seem to be traces of human activities, is that your original village?"
Ludel glanced at Lin Shu seriously and nodded, "It was a village a long time ago, and those insects took a fancy to that place, so the village was relocated. ”
"Those bugs will attack your village?"
"Of course not, it's just that it just so happens that there is what they need, and we don't have to fight the bugs for space, and it's easy for us to start a new village. What's more, the bugs chose this place, which is equivalent to giving us a fixed pasture, so why not?"
"A cave like that is your village, and you don't have a large population!" the old king interjected, and Ludel immediately retorted dissatisfied.
"Who told you that it was a village, that it was only a part of the village, and that deep underground, it would be difficult to make a space that spanned too much, and I didn't understand this?"
"Hehe, spanning several thousand meters, it's already very powerful!" Lin Shu sang with a red face, and Ludel glanced at Lin Shu with satisfaction, looking like he was interested.
Li Xiaoxin couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, these people call themselves tribes, obviously the scale is not big, Lin Shu is ridiculing Ludel in a roundabout way!
However, Ludel's words also show that compared with the people on land, the scale of the city, whether it is under the sea or underground, the difficulty must be much greater, I don't know if the total population of the Gremlmen at the bottom of the sea is large, whether there are also huge cities, from the location of this deep valley tribe, it should be regarded as the edge of the Grimnes Gate, perhaps, the core area of their activities is in the depths of the sea!
Seeing that Lin Shu's side was cold, Li Xiaoxin picked up the topic in a timely manner and helped Lin Shu continue to obtain information.
"Mom, how did you meet the patriarch?"
"I know you occasionally, there was a sea accident, but the patriarch helped a lot?"
When Boca heard Zhang Huiyao's words, he smiled with a quack: "The two of you have also helped us a lot, just help each other." ”
"Mom, have the Grimmen lived in caves at the bottom of the ocean for a long time?"
"yes!"
"It's hard to imagine that I don't see the sun all year round. ”
"Sunlight, that thing hurts your eyes, but you can still go to the sea to bask in the sun, Xiaoxin, you don't have to worry. ”
"Uh" Li Xiaoxin was choked by Ludel's words, people have completely decided that Li Xiaoxin will live underground for a long time in the future, but Li Xiaoxin doesn't want to be a mouse, she prefers to fly in the sky than to swim in the sea, and she prefers to bathe in the sun than to move in the darkness underground.
Zhang Huiyao glanced at her daughter with some amusement, she is familiar with the customs of the Grimnes people, because there are many sea beasts in the sea, and they are very powerful, the Grimnes people need strong men to fight and protect the clansmen, so the situation of patriarchy is very serious, women are more often fertility tools, unless they are very powerful women will have a little status.
"Auntie, I saw that the people of the Deep Valley Tribe just now are all dual-attribute of water and soil, could it be that the Grimmmen people are born with magic receptors? And they are also dual-lineal? This question doesn't involve any secrets, right?"
Lin Shu took over the conversation again to relieve Li Xiaoxin's embarrassment, Zhang Huiyao glanced at Lin Shu sideways, and said with a smile: "Is this a secret?"
Ludell shook his head: "No, more than half of our Grimmmen people have a chance of being magic receptors, most of them are water and earth, and there are also other attributes, and there are many dark and spiritual systems." ”
"Oh, then the pressure on those non-magical receptors to survive underground is very high!"
"Indeed," Zhang Huiyao sighed slightly and said: "This situation is the same everywhere, those who can only accept the protection of others will definitely have less status and resources, and this is also a matter of no choice, after all, the living conditions under the sea and underground are more dangerous." ”
"Mom, why don't you live on the surface? The surface area is very vast!"
Li Xiaoxin's words can't be answered, at least Zhang Huiyao can't answer, and Boca and Ludall don't know how to answer, which is a very contradictory question.
It is difficult to survive on the bottom of the sea, but the Grimmmen people are constantly moving towards this difficult environment, and they have no intention of turning back to the land, what is the reason why they choose this path?
"Maybe it's the reason for the plane war. ”
Lao Wang's mouth was very dark, and the meaning of his words was very clear, that is, the ancestors of the Grimmon clan were actually a group of cowards, when there was a plane war, they deserted and fled into the depths of the sea to escape the war, so they were able to continue in the cruel environment of the plane war, but they did not have the courage to return to the ground.
Boca and Ludel were silent about Lao Wang's malicious speculation, this question may have happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, and it was not their turn to bear the responsibility, besides, what about entering the bottom of the sea or for the continuation of human civilization?
Boca's tribe is just a marginal branch of the Grimmmen tribe, they don't know so much about the road, and they don't have the interest to dig through old accounts, but judging from the small contacts they have maintained with the land races, the ideas of this deep valley tribe may be outliers among the Grimmmen tribe as well......!
