Chapter 6 The Beginning of Chaos(1/2)

"Kid, you are really discerning." Jiang Yishou raised his eyebrows, "We can visit your home, but can you take us for a walk first?"

The young man nodded, "Although our place is not big, it is still very lively."

He pointed to the stove beside him and said, "Brother and sister, let's go and warm ourselves up by the fire first. It's uncomfortable to have your clothes wet."

"The Clan..." Zhou Xinyi suddenly answered as he sat by the stove, "Didn't you go out to the lake and take a look?"

Zhou Xinyi did not directly ask about the relationship between the two Zhu tribes. Judging from the attitude of the people on the island towards fair skin, it must be bad.

But despite asking, the young man still had a cold face, "I don't want to pay attention to those traitors above."

Yes, it turns out they dislike each other.

Jiang Yi asked nervously, "Traitor? What traitor?"

"In the original Zhu tribe, dark-skinned and white-skinned people lived together!"

Zhou Xinyi took out his notebook from his arms and checked it while listening to the conversation on both sides.

The material of the notebook is very special. The water soaked him all over, but the notebook was still clean and tidy without any impurities.

He opened a page at random and saw that the pages were full of black details swimming like ripples. He couldn't help but be shocked and quickly closed the notes.

Jiang Yi noticed Zhou Xinyi's movement and asked, "What's wrong?"

He shook his head, "Nothing."

The boy was still chattering.

"Dark-skinned people originally lived in dry areas and were good at raising animals. We live in flooded areas and are good at fishing."

"But as soon as the strange fish appeared, those bastards who were afraid of water all ran away. It was the bad guy called Song who covered their escape, otherwise we wouldn't have been living in this underwater town for generations to come!"

Even Zhou Xinyi was shocked now, "Ge...isn't she a hero?"

"She is a bullshit hero, Fa...Brothers and sisters, don't be deceived by those traitors!"

Zhou Xinyi did know very little about the Zhu people, but he did not know anything about them.

The tribesmen on the island had great respect for Ge. After her death, they wrote a prayer song for Ge and recited it with heart every year. He knew it.

Those intentions don't seem to be fake.

But why do the Zhu people have such different views on the same person?

"Oh, let's not talk about those annoying guys."

The young man stood up from the hot stove and said, "Let me show you around the town. As long as you see it with your own eyes, you will know that our town is definitely more lively than theirs!"

In fact, just as soon as you enter the door, you can intuitively feel the excitement of the underwater town.

Because construction requires excavation of a large area of ​​rock formations, it is necessary to consider not only the load-bearing capacity of the island, but also the placement of equipment such as water isolation and oxygen production. The area of ​​the town is really not large.

But precisely because of its small area, there are only a few thousand people of the Zhu people crowded into a large home, which gives the town an extraordinarily prosperous and lively atmosphere.

The boy took them to the busiest street in the town, but at this time Zhou Xinyi and Jiang Yi didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery.

Jiang Yi glanced at a certain attic calmly, smiled and whispered, "It seems that all the heirs who came in are gathered here."

Zhou Xinyi's attention was focused on a certain heir who was drinking tea. The heir was covered in black mist, making it difficult to see his appearance, but above his head, there was a huge

Red exclamation mark.

"...What is that."

Jiang Yi took a look at Zhou Xinyi's instructions and burst into laughter.

"That's a summons order. Generally, if there are tasks that a single successor cannot solve, someone will use the summons order to recruit comrades."

"But that symbol is not something that can be changed casually. It is a totem, which is equivalent to the successor's second identity. In the future, wherever the successor uses the totem, there will be a red exclamation mark."

Zhou Xinyi asked, "Then we want to go over and have a look?"

Jiang Yi shook her head, "I have never participated in recruitment," she said proudly, "For the future Black Dragon Emperor, there is no need for the weak to sign up for support."

You can feel from the atmosphere everywhere that today seems to be a special day.

Just like the Zhu people on the island will sing and pray for blessings every year on this day, today is also a special festival for the underwater people.

The taller buildings were tied with brightly colored ribbons and colorful flags, the women were all wearing beautiful new clothes, and the men were polishing their favorite weapons, eager to try them out.

Everyone in the town is happy and happy, and even the heirs are not as tit-for-tat as usual.

This is a grand scene that belongs to the last civilization.

But everything changed because of the appearance of one person.

The red exclamation point on the black shadow seemed to be slightly checked, and the color became redder. The heir covered with black smoke underneath also turned his head and looked to the other side.

All the heirs fell silent for a moment, and even Jiang Yi held his hand on the scabbard and looked in the same direction.

Where everyone was watching, a gentle young man stood there.

"You don't have to be so cautious. Brandy is here just to inquire about something."

This gentle young man was not surprised by these looks. He seemed to have long been accustomed to attracting attention or being feared.

He asked towards the black mist under the red exclamation mark, "The task of recruiting this gentleman is to destroy the main water control system here?"

The person under the black mist made a dull voice, "No."

"Oh," Brandy said with a smile, "Can you bring me one conveniently?"

Heiwu stood up and said, "I am recruiting sincere and trustworthy comrades, not poisonous snakes that spit out letters."

Brandy smiled slightly, but before she could speak, the young man beside Zhou Xinyi said loudly, "What water control system? What are you plotting? You are not allowed to destroy the town of the Zhu tribe!"

As soon as these words came out, the people of the Tang tribe present also became at war with each other.

Zhou Xinyi did not expect that the young man would speak so quickly, and his heart skipped a beat.

He felt that this young man was slightly more hostile to the heirs.

Jiang Yi also said that the aboriginal people inside the light curtain were very vigilant, but he could easily penetrate into the place.

Why, just because you are the so-called judge?

The young man's words attracted Brandy's eyes here, making the young man tremble all over.

"What are you doing! You still want to do evil!" Although he was timid, the young man quickly shouted confidently, "Your honor, the judge is right here!"

"How do you know I'm a judge?" He didn't seem to have exposed his identity in the town? Zhou Xinyi asked in surprise.

The young man said seriously, "I don't know either, but I knew from the first glance that you must be your honor."

"Judge?"

Brandy suddenly said, "I know a judge from a previous civilization. He personally sentenced his sister and blood relatives to death. The last trial in his life was to condemn himself."

"I wonder if this gentleman is the successor of that judge?"

Ha, how did he know?

But no matter whether it is yes or no, it is impossible for him to answer honestly to a person who seems to have bad intentions.

"No comment."

"It seems that I am disgusted by this Mr. Judge. It is a pity."

Brandy said, but his smile did not diminish, he looked down at his pocket watch, and said casually:

"The successor's purpose of recruiting cooperation must be to expel the surrounding fish monsters and add fuel to the water control system here. Although I admire the self-discipline of all the lawful factions, the efficiency of obtaining resources in this way is really slow."

The Tao people underwater are also human beings, and all human beings need air to survive.

Surviving underwater would definitely be a big problem with high consumption in modern times, but people in this era have a mystical tool that can perfectly solve the problem.

That tool is called the Life Furnace, which can use any biological organic matter as fuel and convert it into existing substances with a specific power.

The fuel chosen by the Zhu people is the strange fish in the lake that seem to be endless.

The rarer the substance, the more limited the power it can convert.

But in exchange for air, it can be achieved that every kilogram of strange fish corpses can be exchanged for the life furnace to produce air for fifty minutes.

Therefore, the Zhu people hold a hunting competition every year. All foreign guests and adult Zhu men who are capable of hunting are eligible to participate. The participant with the largest number of kills will naturally get the most precious reward.

"But no matter which term, the top spot on the hunting list will be occupied by the same person——"

The young man leaned close to Zhou Xinyi's ear and whispered a name:

"Song."

"Isn't she dead?"

"Time's up." Brandy looked at the golden hands of the pocket watch pointing to the last second. He closed the watch cover and made a crisp "snap" sound.

"Since you want to gain benefits, you shouldn't use slow and gentle methods and take into account the thoughts of these phantoms," Brandy looked at the young man and whispered to himself, "After all, this is about our lives."

Brandy calculated the time so accurately that the moment he closed the watch cover it was like a signal. The next second, loud noises were heard all over the town at the same time!

The fiery explosions poured into the town along with the wind and waves, knocking over the taller buildings, and the colorful silk scarves that had been painstakingly arranged were instantly burned to ashes.

The gentle smiles of the Tao women turned into screams, and the flames burned wildly. However, the red lake water soon mixed with a large number of strange fish and poured into the street to extinguish the fire that brought thick smoke.
To be continued...
