“Hunting you?!”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s casual tone revealing such news, Sen Miao was somewhat shocked.
She had encountered the Merfolk who had conflicts with the Wood Spirit Tribe, even personally killing quite a few, including the ugly Fishmen they commanded.
However, she couldn’t fathom what gave those fellows the audacity to target her master. The extent of their ambition was synonymous with self-destruction, wasn’t it?
“Yes, I became a prey to the Merfolk. I just sent a small creature to swallow one of them. Quite surprising to hear about their exploits from you too. It seems you know quite a bit, come on, tell me.”
Feng Qing’an urged.
His policy was always to eliminate the root when cutting the grass. Now that they had shown malice and considered him as prey, he should remove the source of this malice all together. It was too much trouble dealing them one at a time; it was better to eradicate them altogether, cleanly and neatly.
“As you wish.”
Hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Sen Miao slightly lowered her head and began recounting every detail of her experience since she fell out of the void and onto this island.
Although Sen Miao and Feng Qing’an looked like master and servant, rigidly hierarchical, the Wood Spirit Tribe riding various fearsome flying beasts like Pegasus or winged serpents were not as tense as before. They didn’t put up their defenses as if ready to attack at any moment like before.
Feng Qing’an didn’t mind the actions of the Heterogeneous Clan. They were clad in Dragon Armor, so their attacks on him would be as insignificant as scratching a boot, inconsequential. He may not even feel that, he was just patiently listening to Sen Miao’s experiences after being stranded here.
As an inheritor of the Wood Qilin bloodline, and a descendant of the Innate River Spirit, Sen Miao had a unique advantage on this island. When she exhibited her Wood Qilin form, she was warmly welcomed by the Wood Spirits of the island. As soon as she appeared, she was revered as a divine beast.
Of course, the main reason for such a status was that her entrance was somewhat similar to that of Feng Qing’an’s; she had landed right where the Wood Spirits were battling the Merfolk.
Her initial response was very much akin to Feng Qing’an’s — at a glance, she launched an attack based on an instinctive feeling.
Unsurprisingly, Sen Miao instinctively targeted the Merfolk who were commanding a multitude of Fishmen to launch an onslaught on the Wood Spirits on the island from the vast ocean.
Even though she had the bloodline of a Dragon Horse, she harbored no good feelings towards the Heterogeneous Clan nurtured by the sea.
“So, that’s how it was.”
Feng Qing’an learned from Sen Miao the basic situation of the local sea area. The reason he saw the traces of Merfolk everywhere in this sea area was because this place originally was a battleground, or a place chosen for conquest by the deep-sea Merfolk.
The Merfolk Clan was very similar to the Human Race. They had an upper body like a human and a lower body like a fish in the ocean.
However, as soon as they set foot on land, their fish tails would transform into legs and their unique posture different from humans would disappear, giving them a look essentially identical to humans.
The average Merfolk were extremely gentle, living in the depths of the sea, rarely hunting other Spirits except for when they need food. They were a very friendly clan.
However, there’s no absolute in the world. Even in the most peaceful clans, there would occasionally be some extremists. Harsh environments and unfair treatments became the best breeding ground for these radicals.
Somewhere in the deep sea, a Merfolk Queen rose, who was extremely brutal and harbored a strong desire for conquest.
This Merfolk Queen quickly assumed the leadership of her clan and then formed an army loyal to her, pointing their forces towards the like clans of Merfolk surrounding their tribe.
With her seemingly innate talent for persuasion, this Merfolk Queen also gathered a large number of followers among the tribes she had conquered.
As for those Merfolk who were not persuaded by her speeches and even resisted her, the males were put into suicide squads and integrated into her army, and their wives and daughters were all branded, demoted to the bottom caste of the underwater kingdom established by this Merfolk Queen.
The clan was too sparse, and the reproduction of Merfolk took several times longer than that of humans. Even the Merfolk Queen, although dissatisfied with those who resisted and refused to obey her, wouldn’t wield her butcher knife casually.
A generation could resist, but she could make their offspring fight for her. Even the clansmen who most vehemently resisted her could bear the most loyal fighters for her.
Utilizing this approach, the Merfolk Queen, within a very short time, established a Merfolk kingdom centered around her in the sea, enslaved hundreds of sea clans, formed a large army, and ignited a war stretching 30,000 miles under the sea, to realize her burning ambition.
“Merfolk Queen, huh.”
After roughly understanding the situation, Feng Qing’an showed a thoughtful look and nodded slightly.
He just happened to collide with the spearhead of an ambitious, conquest-desiring Merfolk Queen. The Merfolk in the sea didn’t target him specifically, he was just unlucky, his landing point was slightly unfavorable.
