Chapter 367 God's Legacy
The fishmen have upper bodies similar to those of humans, and the physiological structures of the two sexes are completely different. Just like most fish in the water, only male and female fishmen can give birth to offspring.
This is different from the Redthorn Tribe.
The Redthorn Man originated from the Redthorn Snake, but the Redthorn Snake has no so-called male and female distinction. If it wants to give birth to offspring, it will split a part of its body, and then this part of the body will slowly grow into a complete Redthorn Snake. In addition, the Redthorn Man has rough skin, which is different from the smooth skin of the fishmen.
The fishmen led the way in front, and Chi Lian followed behind.
Looking at the fishmen's flexibly swinging fish tails, he suddenly thought in his heart that if the Redthorn Snake had not learned to walk on the shore, it would probably still be swimming in the water now.
Entering the deep sea, the surroundings became dim, but these did not affect Chi Lian's vision. His strength far exceeded that of most lives, and the fire of faith became his more acute eyes and ears.
A large wide-mouthed killer fish suddenly rushed over, scaring the fishmen to flee.
Chi Lian just glanced at the killer fish, and the ferocious fish froze, turned around and swam quickly behind him.
The fishmen who had been hiding far away swam back and looked at Chi Lian curiously, not understanding why he was not strong, but could make the overlord of the sea flee.
"This is our King of Light."
Zhao Zai didn't care whether the fishmen could understand or not, and proudly gestured on the side, spitting bubbles from his mouth: "He is not only the ruler of the land, but also the conqueror of the water. Any monster must surrender under his feet."
"He is the successor of the will of Lord Yao Shen, with divine power, and the king of light and fire!"
Although the fishmen didn't understand, they looked at Chi Lian with awe.
Chi Lian waved his hand, signaling the fishmen to continue swimming forward.
They dived for a long time and entered a deep seabed. Between the wide and deep trenches, there was a huge sea clam.
This sea clam was covered with green fluff and shells and other aquatic creatures, but it steadily supported an underwater palace.
The palace was in ruins, and its surface was covered with black-green kelp and algae. A white spear was inserted in front of the palace, and it emitted a faint white halo, which flickered, like the slow breathing of some giant sea beast.
Chi Lian first observed from a distance for a while.
He noticed that the Clam Temple was made entirely of whale bones. It was as if a great hunter had used the whales he hunted as materials to build this underwater building.
The fish people kept making famous gestures, and bubbles came out of their mouths.
Chi Lian could understand the words of the fish people, which was also the apostle power given by Yao Shen.
"...This is the temple that the mermaids used to worship. The gods of the past once issued oracles here. There is incredible power in it."
"The ancestors all said that the secrets of the past are hidden in the underwater temple. Whoever can pick up the dragon tooth halberd will rule the sea."
"That is the weapon of the gods... No one has been able to pull it out so far."
"Yes, yes. You say, we have said so much, can he understand? It's really hard."
...
Chi Lian nodded to the fishmen, and in the astonishment of the fishmen, he landed steadily on the big clam.
Stepping on the slippery and dense seaweed, Chi Lian slowly grabbed the white halberd with both hands, and used force, but the halberd did not move at all.
The whispers of the fishmen came from behind.
"It seems that it still doesn't work... failed."
"That's normal. They are not mermaids. Probably only a strong man among the mermaids, or a person chosen by the gods, can pull it out."
...
Chi Lian could feel that the dragon tooth halberd was fixed to the big clam by a mysterious force. The tip of this divine weapon pierced through the shell of the clam and pierced deep below.
He thought that it should be because of the time that the halberd head had been firmly wrapped by the clam, and pulling it out was equivalent to wrestling with the entire clam.
If the clam was allowed to loosen its mouth, it might be pulled out.
Even if this spear could not be obtained, the temple of this underwater god could also be used as a sacrifice to Lord Yao.
Chi Lian said: "Go and call everyone over, we will lift this clam to the shore."
"Yes, leader."
Soon, tens of thousands of red thorn people dived deep underwater. Under the command of Chi Lian, they gradually returned to their original red thorn snake state, entwined their tails with each other, and formed a tough underwater long snake formation.
Together, they chiseled open the corners of the seabed where the clam was stuck, and then combined into a giant red hand with many sharp claws, grabbed the underwater clam, and then hooked it and dragged it all the way on the seabed.
This huge project consumed more than two-thirds of the Redthorn Tribe's labor. They had to take turns to carry the load to ensure that they had enough strength and would not delay the progress. The fishmen also helped, but their number was much smaller and their role was quite limited.
It took twelve years before and after, and the seabed clam carrying the temple was finally dragged out of the water.
The clam, which had lived in the dark seabed for a long time, saw the light of day again and was exposed to the scorching sun for the first time. All the Redthorn Tribe hugged each other excitedly and cheered loudly, and the fishmen also jumped around in the water happily.
Under the light that illuminated everything, the Redthorn people used wooden forks and stone axes to remove the thick and sticky mud and grass on the surface of the clam, and removed the shellfish and barnacles stuck on it.
They washed the clam with water to restore its original appearance.
The shell of the seabed clam is as pure white as a pearl, without a trace of impurities, transparent and crystal clear in the sun, making people like it when they see it.
Chi Lian stood in front of the clam and said to the tall white treasure: "Carrying the life of the old temple, you have fulfilled your responsibility. The old days are gone, and now Zhou Island is protected by Lord Yaoshen."
"Now, I will pull out this dragon tooth halberd that has pierced your body as a sacrifice to Lord Yaoshen. I hope you can help."
He jumped onto the clam and grabbed the snow-white halberd with both arms.
He exerted force with both arms.
This time, there was not much stagnation, and the force inside gradually loosened.
Chi Lian pulled out the halberd that was inserted into the clam. When he held it in his hand, he found that the halberd was made of the bones of a giant creature.
Dragon tooth halberd...I think it is a dragon's tooth.
But this tooth is taller than himself. Chi Lian can't imagine how huge the body of the owner of the tooth will be.
"Thank you for your help."
Chi Lian said to the clam.
The big clam slowly opened its mouth, and the fish bone temple on its shell shattered into pieces.
There was no clam meat in the clam's mouth, only a pearl as big as a hill floating in it.
The pearl flew in front of Chi Lian, and its smooth surface reflected Chi Lian's surprised face.
"Demi-god body... Are you the successor of Lord Suo Li Weng?"
A voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female came from the pearl.
"...Cao Li Weng, who is that?"
"My last master, who was also the god worshipped in the temple before, I am Aozhu."
It was the first time that Chi Lian saw a talking pearl. He asked curiously: "So the old god was called Cao Li Weng. Why did he put you in a big clam?"
"This is the 'divination bone' made of divination turtle bones."
Aozhu said: "It includes Aozhu and dragon tooth hook. This set is all the treasures of Lord Cao Li Weng."
"Among them, the divination bone was originally a boat, and the dragon tooth hook was a tool for fishing giant turtles or powerful prey. Aozhu, that is, me, is used to control the boat and the hook. I am also the core of the three treasures. At the beginning, the dragon clan turned this world into a vassal. Lord Cao Li Weng had no time to fish for many years, so he placed us under the temple."
"I just don't know why, but later he left and never came back."
Chi Lian nodded: "So that's how it is."
He asked the Red Thorn people to carry the huge divination bone together, using logs on the ground as roller skates, and dragged it to the front of the temple. Holding the dragon tooth hook, he led Aozhu all the way to the entrance of the temple.
Slymode, who was kneeling in front of the statue, finally turned around slowly.
"You did a good job."
Time left no trace on the green-clothed man's face, and he still looked like a calm elder.
"Chi Lian, it seems that you already know what is most important to you."
Chi Lian looked at the teacher: "In fact, I am still confused, but I know that the answer can only be obtained through continuous attempts. I will continue to move forward with my people. As long as we keep moving forward, there is hope for everything."
"Very good, you have grown up."
The green-clothed man smiled: "Whether it is your personal destiny or the future of this world, it depends on how far you can lead the Redthorn Tribe."
"Even if it is the voice that continues to influence you, as long as you are strong enough, it will no longer be it whispering to you, but you will influence it. Isn't it?"
Suddenly, Lemode looked at the sky in the distance outside the temple with a serious face.
Chi Lian followed the teacher's gaze.
He saw the clouds in the sky being broken, revealing a black continent in the air, and that continent was getting closer and closer to the ground, and was rushing towards here with great momentum.
Slymod whispered: "War is coming, go, Chi Lian, return to your people. You need to protect them and face the challenge with them."
...
Lu Yao took some time to look at the cats in the blood hill next door. Before he had enough of the cats, the simulator popped up a series of reminders.
[The Red Thorn Tribe invented the Stargazing Altar, and the knowledge of all the Red Thorn Tribes has been slightly improved. ]
[The prototype of a usable wonder has been discovered: the Stargazing Altar. ]
[Chi Lian offered you a sacrifice: the Divination Bone. ]
[Chi Lian offered you a sacrifice: the Dragon Tooth Hook. ]
[Chi Lian offered you a sacrifice: the Ao Pearl. ]
This surprised Lu Yao.
He flipped through the Encyclopedia of the World of Zhoudao, but didn't see the entries for these props.
Where did Xiao Taisui dig this treasure from?
