When the sea monsters heard Captain Liu's speech, they started talking again.
"People of Kyushu, what is that concept?"
"Is it like joining those tribes, accepting their protection, paying tribute and taxes to them?"
"Paying taxes is certain, but asylum is not certain. It's good if you can avoid being caught by them."
"How can humans protect us? They don't live in the sea. The lineup is very powerful. It looks good but is not useful."
Shen Rui listened to the discussion of the sea monster and noticed that a researcher was recording the video. Of course, he also recorded the translation.
It seems that these are valuable research materials for studying the psychological mechanisms of aberrations.
There is also a researcher who is holding a notebook hanging on his chest and writing temporary notes.
"Please rest assured, we will issue you an identity launch tag, which will be embedded in your body and you will be able to pass through our nearby ports. In times of danger, you can take refuge in our exclusive port area." Captain Liu began to shout again.
When the sea monsters heard this, they finally had something to say.
"This is a good condition. It seems I can agree to it."
"Yes, they have so many strong men that they can still protect the port. If there is a stable haven, there is no need to worry about being driven away by the octopus people."
At this time, Captain Liu spoke up at the right time: "In order for us to negotiate better, I hope you can elect a leader who can pool everyone's opinions and facilitate better communication between us."
When the sea monsters heard this, they immediately dispersed skillfully, leaving a large empty sea area in the middle.
Everyone was not surprised, because this is how the monsters choose their leader, the one with the big fist takes office.
Sure enough, not long after, two sea monsters who considered themselves the strongest appeared in the middle.
Indeed, they all have fifth-level strength. Among these miscellaneous fish, they can be regarded as the elephant among the short ones.
Both sides fought very hard, and they were much more effective than the previous battle with the octopus man.
The water surged and splashed up to a height of ten meters. It looked like a fifth-level power, but combined with the power of the sea water, it actually showed the power of a giant cannon.
With the power of these two sea monsters, it is not a problem to paralyze a sea route.
How can a destroyer catch a submarine that can run faster than a destroyer?
The swimming speed of sea monsters, except for those who are not good at swimming, can basically easily exceed that of large human surface warships.
These two sea monsters are not stupid, and now they understand that whoever wins will get the support of humans, and at least get a safe territory to dominate.
As for fighting the octopus men, they really haven't thought so far ahead and don't have the courage.
After more than half an hour, one sea monster finally couldn't hold on any longer and chose to surrender.
Both sides are proficient in water. Whoever has a better foundation, higher cultivation level, and higher combat skills will win.
After all, it was not a life-and-death battle, and humans were watching from the sidelines. The victorious sea monster, a moray eel, triumphantly let go of its opponent.
The moray eel swam to the shore and began to bargain.
"We can be your citizens, but we can't pay taxes. After all, we are still children... none of us are three or five years old. According to the laws of your Kyushu, we should be 16 years old before we are considered adults."
Everyone was dumbfounded. Is there such a cruel child?
Well, there are indeed some, such as those naughty kids like Red Boy.
"You're so cunning, you caught our loopholes so quickly."
"It's normal. Anyone who treats aliens as ignorant and innocent children is stupid. They have survived the cruelest laws of the jungle."
"There are also a lot of confused guys, but that's mainly because they don't have information channels and don't know more knowledge. Once they know it, they will try their best to transform this knowledge into tools that can be used. From this point of view, than Our education method is so powerful.”
"Yes, if it cannot be put to use, there will be no competitive advantage. They will not learn to death. The competition for survival is the strongest motivation for learning and application."
"It seems that if we really conquer them and incorporate them into our education system, they will be a huge hidden danger in the future."
"It is best to teach them moral and ethical knowledge first, let them learn etiquette, and then teach them specific life skills."
The researchers were whispering to each other and exchanging opinions.
Shen Rui was not surprised by this. Guys like Xiaoying were very good at bargaining, and they often benefited from him.
Captain Liu naturally stepped forward and said, "That's not the same. Our human development period is different from yours. You can mature in one year after you are born. It takes at least fifteen years for us to have civil capacity. So your Adulthood should be calculated separately according to different ethnic groups."
"Okay, I can make concessions on this, but you have to divide some territory for us first. I heard that the coast is very barren and there is no fish to eat. You have to teach us how to raise fish and support us with the corresponding production tools. ." Moray said happily.
It throws out the first condition, which is obviously to pave the way for the following conditions.
And it also comes from a sea monster community, where seabirds regularly bring information and knowledge to humans. The sea monster world is extremely cruel in competition for survival. Once this information is released, it will be absorbed by the sea monsters as much as possible.
They are like shriveled sponges, absorbing any bit of useful knowledge.
Among human knowledge, the most useful to them is fish farming.
The octopus people have taken the lead in developing ocean fish farming by relying on various conveniences. They cut down trees and build fish cages in places where human tentacles cannot reach, and imitate humans for breeding.
Ordinary fish, under natural conditions, have to swim long distances to obtain food and reproduce, which wastes nutrients. After being raised in captivity, like pigs, the energy transfer efficiency can be greatly improved.
It is precisely because of such a material foundation that the octopus talents will rise rapidly and become invincible.
Without human intervention, it would probably take less than ten or twenty years for the Octopus Man to truly unify the four oceans. At that time, he would definitely be an extremely formidable opponent.
"We can agree to this condition, but please provide some conditions at sea for our reference."
"This is simple. Although I don't know much, I still understand a little bit." Moray Eel is very happy. It is like a senior negotiator, throwing a little bit and tricking a bit.
"Please tell me."
"Now the nearby sea is dominated by octopus people. They don't know where they come from. They are coming fiercely. There are more than a dozen large deep-sea octopus kings. They besieged the leaders of this sea area and drove them to other places. Then we started cleaning up low-level sea monsters like us."
"Also, they have also attracted the cats and snake people from several nearby islands, letting these guys serve as the eyes and ears on the land, as well as the source of wood. They seem to want to imitate you and build a city on the sea."
