"Your ancestor was a divine general under Jiang Ziya?
Are you from the Jiang family?".
Chen Zhi was a little surprised by this answer. In his book full of demigod totems, there was obviously no record of the shark clan.
The subsequent clan leaders did not say a word, and seemed not to be interested in this sea clan.
It seems that Jiang Ziya has completely deleted this clan since then.
Why is this? Does he think they are no longer useful?
Or... I think it is impossible for this sea tribe to live in the world anymore!
"Then you and I are related...",
Chen Zhi continued to say softly to the shark:
"The rules of the contract law have been stipulated by God and passed down from generation to generation. You will always be members of our Jiang family.
The oaths made by your ancestors should also be respected by you as descendants!
Of course, I will not regard you as a slave, your ancestors are my ancestors.
At least we are friends, you can trust me..."
"Oath? Haha~~",
The shark suddenly sneered, his eyes as blue as the sea filled with contempt.
"Are you people from the Jiang family worthy of taking oaths?
Jiang Ziya promised my ancestor in the past that he would make me the God of the Sea! He would honor my lineage of the sea clan.
But the price is to let my family members guard this sea eye for 500 years from generation to generation. Outsiders are not allowed to enter or exit, and the sea people inside are not allowed to go out.
He said that after 500 years, he would return and free our people, and then make the best of our people a god! From then on, we are the descendants of gods.
In the past, for the sake of the glory of our clan, my ancestors made a contract with Jiang Ziya, sold themselves as slaves, and sold their descendants for generations to come.
And what happened next? Jiang Ziya left forever~~
I have been waiting in vain for 5,000 years~~, my ancestors have already left with hatred, and many warriors of my clan have died in this sea without ever going outside in their lives.
Stop talking to me about vows!
You Jiang family people are not worthy of swearing! Yeah~~"
(Ya spit) is a modal particle in ancient times, a bit like the current "Bah!"
But in comparison, this tone is more contemptuous, proving that the other party's personality is extremely inferior, so inferior that he is not worthy of talking to him.
"What did you say……",
The shadow in Chen Zhi's mind with white clothes and white beard suddenly appeared in his mind again. After adding the characters given by the shark, that shadow became confused again.
If this shark had said these words half a year ago, Chen Zhi would have given him a Wind and Thunder Curse without hesitation and made her pay for the lies she told.
But now..., after experiencing what happened to the orcs in the Western Regions, Chen Zhi no longer dared to be so confident.
The image of Jiang Ziya has been blurred in his mind, and his personality is also very contradictory.
On the one hand, he is the hero who saved all mankind, and the merits he has done are indelible.
If he is said to be a sinner, it is undoubtedly anti-human.
On the other hand, he did many despicable things and broke his promises, which even the moral values of thousands of years ago cannot understand.
If he can deceive the Western Orcs, then he can probably deceive other people too!
Including the people of the world at that time, as well as his own divine generals.
The same problem appeared again, the barrier that maintains the human world...
Chen Zhi then closed his eyes tightly to stop himself from thinking. Then he opened his eyes and stared at the shark.
"You said Jiang Ziya made a promise to your ancestors, do you have any evidence?
You know, empty talk is meaningless...",
"Why do you need evidence?" The mermaid gritted his teeth and stretched out his wrist.
His upper body is very similar to that of a human woman, with slender arms and fair skin, except that it is covered with mucus and is rough.
I saw a large talisman on her left wrist. The talisman was densely entangled, like a ball of snakes.
"This is the divine seal of the Sea Clan given to me by Jiang Ziya, passed down from generation to generation to prove our identity.
He said to my ancestors that the Son of God has a limited life span and is far inferior to the sharks.
If he dies during these 500 years, he will let his descendants come back to fulfill his promise.
Believe in this divine seal!
So when you first came to the island, I knew you were coming.
But you are not here to free us, but to find what you want!
You Jiang people don’t keep your promises!”
"Let me see!" Chen Zhi took the shark's arm and looked at the so-called divine seal carefully.
I couldn't help but feel a little thump in my heart~~.
That's not a divine seal at all, but a special kind of spell.
It is very similar to the tengu in Wuhou Valley. After being imprinted on a creature, the creature will turn into a ferocious zombie even if it dies.
You can still protect this place after death, which is very cruel.
This is probably why those sharks turned into water zombies...
At this moment, I heard the colorful-tailed shark continue to say:
"My sea tribe is prosperous and has more than 100,000 people. It is the overlord of the sea. Even the giant whales and sea monsters dare not speak the same language as me!
Now, we have been sealed in this island for more than 5,000 years.
We are in fear all day long, but we cannot escape from this place. Once we escape, we will be deprived of our magic power, our scales will fall away, our speech will be lost, and our consciousness will be lost, just like fish and shrimp in the sea.
In order to escape from this Iceland, many of the same kind actually fell into the hands of humans and became idiots who were played by humans~~
With such a tragic end, why do we need evidence?",
After the shark finished speaking, his face showed sadness, and he was in so much pain that he could not speak.
But Chen Zhi understood everything completely at this time...
[So this is really the case...], Chen Zhi thought silently in his heart,
[The mermaids who fell into the hands of humans did indeed escape. After escaping here, they would lose their minds and turn into low-level orcs without thinking. That’s why they were captured by humans..."
When Chen Zhi thought of this, he checked the aura of the dragon man in front of him again.
It is indeed the aura of a high-level orc, their intelligence is definitely no less than that of humans, and their vitality and heat are extremely high, so they must be very fast in the sea.
Even whales would be afraid of such a creature in the sea. Moreover, this sea creature has an extremely long lifespan and can live for more than 1,000 years effortlessly. It is a very powerful sea creature.
It is indeed sad to think that such advanced creatures eventually became human beings' playthings.
"Do you have any natural enemies here?" Chen Zhi looked at the shark and continued to ask,
"Your fat contains very high calories. Even if you live in this cold sea, you will not die.
I guess this is why Jiang Ziya left you here in the first place.
Since there is great danger in escaping here, why do you have to escape?
Why not wait here but wait for the next day?"
"Wait? How can we wait any longer?",
The shark gnashed her teeth in anger, infinite resentment emerged from her body, and her aura turned red.
“1,000 years ago, this trapped thing under the sea broke free from its chains and broke out!
That thing was so huge and so crazy that it even captured me as a human being for food.
We, the sharks, live in fear day and night. Even though we all work together, we cannot kill him...
Many warriors risked their lives to break out of the seal and want to go out to find your Jiang family. Please come and save us...
But after they rushed out, they were captured by humans and turned into pets! They didn't find you until they died.
Wuwu~~" When the shark said this, unspeakable pain burst out on her face, and her eyes became red and almost bled.
"It's a pity that since then, more than 100,000 of our sharks have been hunted and killed by that giant beast!
