Chapter 257 Big Fish Man
Religion plays a very important role in murloc society, and murlocs usually worship water and the powerful things in it.
Apart from water, there is no fixed object of belief in the religion of the fishmen.
Any new powerful ocean power that the murlocs encounter is likely to worship them, and the murlocs are also willing to introduce or abandon certain species to suit the current situation.
For example, a group of fishmen may worship a Naga Sea Witch, and they will perform various weird religious rituals to pray to the Naga Sea Witch. Until one day, a big shark ate the Naga Sea Witch. At this time, the shark replaced the Naga Sea Witch and became the object of the fishman's prayers.
In the religious rituals of the fish people, the only constant is the water itself, which is regarded by the fish people as the mother of life.
The Blackfin clan also has an object of worship when performing religious rituals. Currently, the object of the Blackfin murlocs' prayers is a sea giant who can control the tides.
The sea was rough.
The sea giant Dagun walked on the waves. Every time his stone pillar-like legs took a step forward, the surrounding sea would stir up violent waves.
As Dagun moved towards the island of the Altar of the Oath, he impatiently slapped the sea surface with the weapon in his hand, making a huge noise.
The weapon in Dagun's hand looks like a spear, but is actually a mast that he removed from a sailboat, which shows how huge he is.
Dagun set foot on the island. He could move a long distance with one step, and he reached the uphill slope of the Altar of Oaths in a few steps.
The fishmen in Ratchet Town were blocked at the narrow intersection leading uphill, but the sea giant Dagun did not need to walk uphill at all. He stood on the sand below the uphill slope, and his shoulders were already level with the Altar of Oaths. together.
"Who summoned Dagun?"
Dagun's voice was like thunder and his breath was like clouds. As soon as he spoke, he caused a small storm around the Altar of Oaths.
"It's...it's me."
Thief Eye's body was shaking in the whirlwind and she couldn't stand still. She shouted to the sea giant despite the strong wind.
"It's you little fish-man again." Dagun seemed to be dissatisfied when he spoke, "Where is my sacrifice?"
"The sacrifices will be brought over immediately."
Since it was a temporary decision to use the Altar of Oaths, the sacrifices were not placed on the altar in advance. Thieving Eyes had already asked the fishmen to carry the sacrifices in the cave.
At the entrance of the cave, the fishmen carrying the sacrifices were frightened by the sea giant's tall body and unfriendly tone. None of them dared to come out carrying their things.
"Bring the sacrifice quickly!" Thieving Eye shouted angrily.
Thieving Eye usually has a lot of power, and when the fishman heard her roar, he could only bite the bullet and walk out of the cave.
Soon, the altar of vows was filled with all kinds of food, and a large white clam shell was placed in the middle.
"That's it? Huh?"
When the sea giant Dagun saw these sacrifices, there was a roar in his throat. It was obvious that he was extremely dissatisfied with the altar and was already angry.
Thieving Eyes felt bitter in her heart. Since the incident happened suddenly and she had no time to prepare, she could only use the food stored in the cave as an emergency.
Thief Eye remembered the last time the entire Blackfin clan was prepared and summoned Dagun. In the end, because he was dissatisfied with the sacrifice, he made a big fuss on the island and almost destroyed most of the island's buildings.
Thinking of that scene, Thieving Eye was terrified. This Dagun was an extremely greedy sea giant.
Thief Eye approached the Altar of Oaths. There was a large white clam shell placed on the stone platform of the altar. Inside the clam shell was her own collection of jewelry processing.
As a fish-men tribe that rarely trades with the outside world, it is not easy to collect various gems, metals and other materials for jewelry processing. It took Thieves a long time to collect the materials and make some good quality finished products.
"The real sacrifice is inside this clam shell, which contains magical items that I collected and made." Thief Eye said to Dagun.
Sea giants like magical items, and Thief Eye knows this very well.
"oh?"
When the sea giant heard that there were magical items, he immediately became interested, and he put his head close to the Altar of Oaths.
"Open it quickly!"
Under Dagun's urging, Thieving Eyes slowly opened the big clam shell with both hands.
There is nothing inside the clam shell!
Thieving Eyes was as stunned as a chicken.
"Little fishman, you are playing tricks on Dagun!"
Boom!
The mast of the sailboat in Dagun's hand roared down, and Thief Eye's fishman hut was shattered into pieces, and Thief Eye was also blown away by the huge shock wave.
The sea giant Dagun was completely furious.
…
Of course there is nothing in the cunning clam shell, because the contents inside have already been stolen by Yang Yi. Yang Yi was worried about being discovered too early, so he buried the clam shell back in the sand.
The sea giant became enraged and went on a killing spree, spreading his anger on everything in sight.
The Ratchet fishmen who were still on the island suffered, and they also became the targets of the sea giants.
Yang Yi quickly told the murlocs in Ratchet Town to disperse and escape. Otherwise, if they got together and were swept by a sea giant's mast, the entire team would be directly disabled.
"Little Naga, let Tesir fight this sea giant!"
Yang Yi quickly asked the little naga to go back and command Tessel. The Kraken sea monster was the only one on the scene who had the ability to fight the sea giant.
The little naga quickly ran towards Tethyr. She climbed on Tethyr's head and directed it to spit water arrows at the sea giant.
The sea monster Tethyr and the sea giant Dagun fought on the sea, and the huge waves were like tsunamis.
The murlocs on the island were in chaos. Both the blackfin murlocs and the thorntooth murlocs had no intention of fighting.
Yang Yi glanced around and found that after the sea giant vented his anger and beat them randomly, Thief Eyes had taken the opportunity to escape when the thorntooth murlocs scattered.
"Everyone retreat, leave here!" Yang Yi ordered decisively.
Elephants fight and crush ants to death. We can't stay here.
Yang Yi didn't care about organizing the murloc team to chase Thief Eyes again. He first let the thorntooth murlocs escape.
Blake was left behind by Yang Yi to gather the fleeing murlocs again.
Yang Yi took Benbol Ba and other small murlocs to chase Thief Eyes.
Thief Eyes was alert and cunning, and had already swam a long way in the sea.
Yang Yi and his friends found a big turtle and a plesiosaur mount and chased after him.
Thief Eyes found the pursuers behind her. This time, she did not choose to go to another island in the bay, but fled to the coast.
Yang Yi and his companions followed Thief Eye all the way to the coast, but Thief Eye had already sneaked into the swamp on the shore.
The swamp in Dustwallow Swamp was lush with vegetation, reeds and wormwood, and trees such as yew trees were everywhere.
As soon as Thief Eye entered the swamp, Yang Yi lost her trace.
"Go quickly and bring the Blackfin Clan Sage here." Yang Yi said to the sisters Guji and Gudong.
The environment in the swamp was complicated, and Yang Yi was not sure about the situation inside, so he did not venture in.
Guji rode on the plesiosaur and went back to bring the Blackfin Clan Sage here.
"Tell me quickly! Does Thief Eye also have a residence in the swamp?" Yang Yi asked the Blackfin Clan Sage.
"I don't know." The Blackfin Clan Sage replied.
"Don't know?" Yang Yi was puzzled.
Yang Yi noticed that the Blackfin Clan Sage said that he didn't know, instead of answering yes or no.
"Did Thief Eye enter the swamp before?" Yang Yi asked again.
"Yes, the chieftain often goes to the swamp, but he never lets the fishmen in the tribe follow him."
"You are so mysterious, what secrets of Thief Eyes do you not tell us?" Yang Yi questioned.
"No, I told you everything I know." The Blackfin Clan Sage was terrified, "I only know that when the chieftain comes back from the swamp, he often brings back some jewelry and accessories."
"Bring back jewelry and accessories?"
Yang Yi was thoughtful, it seems that Thief Eyes' advanced jewelry processing skills may be related to this swamp.
"Think about it again, where Thief Eyes may be hiding in this swamp, otherwise I will electrocute you!" Benbolba threatened.
"I can't think of it, I really can't think of it." The Blackfin Clan Sage was so scared that he kept shaking his head.
Yang Yi could see that continuing to threaten the Blackfin Clan Sage would probably not work, so he said: "If you can catch Thief Eyes, I can consider letting you go."
The Blackfin Clan Sage is the second-in-command of the Blackfin Fishmen and the right-hand man of Thief Eyes. Yang Yi doesn't believe that he doesn't know any clues.
Hearing Yang Yi's words, the Blackfin Clan Sage suddenly stopped shaking his head and became silent.
Sure enough, this Blackfin Clan Sage still knew something.
"Think about it again."
Yang Yi said, motioning Mojimus to go over and untie the Blackfin Clan Sage.
"Can I believe what you say?" The Blackfin Clan Sage's attitude began to loosen after being untied.
"This lord keeps his word." Yang Yi promised.
The Blackfin Clan Sage looked into Yang Yi's eyes. Yang Yi had nothing to lie about. If he could exchange the Blackfin Clan Sage with the Thief's Eye, it would be a very cost-effective deal.
"I know a place where our clan leader might go, but I'm not sure." The Blackfin Clan Sage said slowly, "If you find our clan leader there, you have to let me go."
"Take us there. As long as you catch the Thief's Eye, this lord will let you go." Yang Yi promised.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
The Blackfin Clan Sage led Yang Yi and the others through the edge of the swamp and walked all the way to a remote place.
A fishman village is located in a valley leading to the swamp from the Fear Bay. The fishman village is not large, and it seems that there are only two or three hundred people.
Fishman villages usually do not have walls, and Yang Yi can clearly see the situation in the village from outside the village.
In the fishman village, a large group of fishmen gathered together and shouted loudly, as if they were quarreling.
What surprised Yang Yi was that these fishmen were all tall and strong, and the whole village was a giant fishman village.
"Why are these fishmen so tall?" Yang Yi was surprised.
"The fishmen in this fishman village have always been like this. They are born to be so tall." The wise man of the Blackfin Clan answered indifferently, and he continued: "These fishmen only know how to eat every day, and their brains are stupid and useless."
Yang Yi recalled the time on the island.
At that time, the lobster man slave wanted to rush to the residence of the thief's eyes, but was blocked by a group of tall fishmen at the intersection. It seems that those tall fishmen came from this fishman village.
Yang Yi knew that there were giant hobgoblins, giant trolls, and giant nagas that were extremely tall, but this was the first time he knew that murlocs could grow so big.
