768 Meeting of the Two Clans
“Like which beasts?”
The eldest prince, Yu Heng, asked. The fish people were actually considered beasts. They needed a lot of things to transform into human form, unlike humans who were born human.
They looked very weak, but they were also especially powerful.
They had never thought that the human race could actually have a way to cause genocide.
“Some cows, sheep, pigs, and horses. Not only beasts, but they can also be used on humans.”
An Xiaoou answered truthfully. She didn’t exaggerate. She was just telling the truth.
However, in the eyes of the fish people, all of this was world-shaking.
At this moment, no one spoke. Everyone was silent.
After a while, the old king said, “Let’s prepare to form an alliance with the human race.”
If he wanted to gain a foothold, he had to fight with his life. He couldn’t choose to hide without trying.
In the next few days, all the fish people fell into a tense and vigilant state.
An Xiaoou’s neck was already covered in fine scales. She went to deliver food to Su Xiaolu.
An Xiaoou had lingering fears when she saw Su Xiaolu disappear after putting away the bags of herbs.
Su Xiaolu smiled at her and ate slowly. An Xiaoou watched from the side. There were several times when she wanted to ask, but she swallowed her words.
Su Xiaolu looked at her helplessly. “Xiaoou, if it’s really difficult to say it, why don’t you go out? I can’t eat like this.”
An Xiaoou blushed. She looked at Su Xiaolu and asked cautiously, “Miss Su, have you really prepared medicinal herbs that can make the fish people extinct?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Xiaoou. An Xiaoou had changed a lot. Looking at the pink scales on her neck, Su Xiaolu smiled and asked, “Xiaoou, how long before you become a fish?”
An Xiaoou had changed a lot. Perhaps An Lie would not recognize her in the future.
“I don’t know either. Hai Ming said that it would take a few months. When I can become a fish, I’ll be a fish person completely. By then, I probably won’t be able to speak.”
After becoming a fish person, her body would also become different. She could manifest as a human like Hai Ming, but she would not be a real human anymore.
The fish people’s language consisted of sound waves. Moreover, the fish people’s bodies were different when they manifested as humans.
An Xiaoou looked at Su Xiaolu. Miss Su had yet to answer her question.
Su Xiaolu smiled warmly and said, “If the two races form an alliance, I won’t, but if they don’t, I’ll definitely do that. You know that we humans have a saying that we have to drag a few people down with us even if we die. As for me, I’m not a kind person.”
An Xiaoou’s heart sank.
Su Xiaolu continued, “But I don’t know if the medicine is that effective. After all, I’ve never used it before.”
An Xiaoou forced a smile. “The king has already decided to form an alliance.”
He did not know what would happen after the alliance, but if they did not form an alliance, the outcome would definitely not be good.
The fish people might be very resistant now, but when they understood more, they would definitely not regret this decision.
“That’s good. Everyone is happy.”
Su Xiaolu finished the last bite of her food. She wiped her mouth and sighed. “Xiaoou, don’t you think these are too raw now?”
The food made by the fish people’s land tasted really bad. There was no warm feeling, only a raw and unfamiliar taste.
An Xiaoou shook her head. “I’m quite used to it.”
“That’s good. Xiaoou, live well. The fish people are much simpler than humans, but it’s not like there are no struggles. No matter what identity you have, you have to work hard to become stronger. The fish people have to set foot on the continent in the future, understand?”
Su Xiaolu looked at An Xiaoou seriously.
An Xiaoou was a little puzzled why Su Xiaolu was telling her this, but looking at the sincere warning in her eyes, An Xiaoou felt a warmth in her heart. She nodded solemnly. “I will. Thank you for your reminder, Miss Su.”
Miss Su must have seen through Hai Ming’s feelings for her and was worried that she would get lost because of her feelings.
Miss Su was right. Only by being strong enough could she completely control her life.
Su Xiaolu returned to the shell bed and lay down. She rubbed her stomach to speed up her digestion.
It was not good to lie down after eating, but it was not comfortable to walk around in the fish people’s territory. It was better to lie down.
An Xiaoou gently went out and closed the door.
Big Kun kept appearing on the surface of the sea.
Jin Er and the others knew that they were investigating.
Previously, they thought that there were only a few big Kun in the entire sea area, but that was not the case. Many big Kun appeared. Because they did not know them, they could not distinguish them clearly, so they thought that there were only a few.
Jin Er didn’t know how they distinguished humans, but he noticed that they found them accurately every time. They recognised people and not boats.
May fifth.
Red clouds rose in the distance.
The big Kun in the sea surfaced to check before diving into the sea and disappearing.
Jin Er also took out the signal and released it, waiting to meet up.
After a while, rows of ships appeared on the surface of the sea.
They slowly approached. These ships were official ships. Many people were dressed plainly in the ships, but they were all very skilled.
Zhou Heng was standing on the deck in black armor.
When they met up later, Zhou Heng walked over. He nodded at Jin Er and the others and asked, “Where are they?”
Jin Er pointed at the surface of the sea. The sea seemed calm, but the bottom of the sea was definitely not.
Zhou Heng walked to the fence and looked down. The blue sea was endless, making one’s heart palpitate.
He narrowed his eyes and felt something slowly rising.
Zhou Heng saw the big black shadow.
It turned out that the big Kun was so big.
There seemed to be a human figure on the big Kun?
Zhou Heng frowned.
As the big Kun slowly emerged from the water, Zhou Heng saw a ‘person’ on the big Kun. She looked like a human, but there was a reflection on her exposed neck. Upon closer inspection, it was scales.
An Xiaoou was not afraid of their stares. She looked at Zhou Heng and the others and said slowly, “You, follow, us—”
An Xiaoou patted Hai Ming gently under her. The big Kun swam away gently. An Xiaoou’s figure remained on the surface of the sea, allowing Zhou Heng and the others to see clearly.
Zhou Heng waved his hand and ordered, “Follow.”
With An Xiaoou leading the way on the surface of the sea, Zhou Heng and the others were not worried that they would follow the wrong person.
Zhou Heng turned to Su Hua and said, “Hua, tell them to record it well.”
Was this the route to the fish people’s territory? Whether it was or not, he had to record it.
There was a white fog on the sea surface. Through the fog, they could vaguely see the figure leading them in front. The fog dispersed and the sea surface was wide. As they continued forward, the sky gradually darkened. After an unknown period of time, there was another fog. When they came out of the fog, there was still no change in the sea area.
However, the sky was gradually turning dark.
It was not until they had experienced the fog six times that the night passed and the sky brightened that the figure in front of them stopped and the ship stopped.
“Your Majesty, there are big Kun all around. There are especially many of them.”
Su Hua quickly came to Zhou Heng’s side and whispered.
