Lu Xiao and others didn't know what was going on within the Di Human tribe. Just as they were confronting several Di Human tribe soldiers in front of them, a female Di Human tribe suddenly came to the scene.
"Guards, please stop."
Compared to these male guards, the female Di human in front of her is more ornately decorated.
There are many exquisite ornaments made of shellfish and pearls hanging on her body, and her upper body is covered with a set of translucent gauze. It seems that she has a high status in the Diren country.
"Master Wu Zhu."
Seeing this man, the soldiers quickly took back their weapons and saluted respectfully.
The Di human woman known as Wu Zhu held up the moon-white shell in her hand and ordered: "The queen has an order not to be rude to the distinguished guests. I will lead the distinguished guests into the palace to meet the queen."
The surface of the shell in Wu Zhu's hand was engraved with a pattern that Lu Xiao didn't recognize. It might be an ancient text handed down from the time of Emperor Yan Shennong.
"This...obeys the order."
Although somewhat reluctant, following the Queen's orders, the Di human guards took back their weapons and let them go.
After dismissing the guards, young Wu Zhu bowed politely to Lu Xiao and others: "Dear guests invited by Kunyu, please follow me. Our queen is waiting for you in the palace."
The attitude of the Di people suddenly turned 180 degrees, and the three teenagers were a little confused.
Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen had a rough guess about this. It should be that the previous cry of the giant whale conveyed some kind of message to the Di people.
Following Witch Zhu along the avenue built on the coral reef, Lu Xiao touched his chin thoughtfully.
‘Kunyu, as expected, this giant whale has Kun’s blood flowing through it.’
The scenery and style of the Diren Kingdom are very different from those of other countries on the land of China. Along the way, the three boys and girls kept whispering about something.
Yongzhen did not completely let down his guard. After all, this was not the home ground of humans, and he could not be sure that the other party would suddenly break up because of the Kongtong Seal incident.
In the event that negotiations between the two parties fail and break up, recording the route and environment in advance can help with subsequent evacuation operations.
The Royal Palace of the Di Ren Kingdom was carved out of a huge shellfish. When entering the only city of the Di Ren Kingdom, Lu Xiao and others immediately saw the Shell Palace located at the far end of the city.
Along the way, the group discovered a special situation.
There seems to be no old people among the Di people. Every resident looks so young and beautiful, with handsome men and pretty women.
Yu'er and others who didn't know the truth were very surprised by this. They had never seen a country with such a young age structure before.
Just like what is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all Di people have human heads and fish bodies.
From the waist up, there is not much difference between the Di people and ordinary humans, except that their ears have obvious aquatic characteristics and look more like fins.
The lower body is completely different from humans. The Di humans have no legs and can only rely on the swing of the fish tail to walk. They must twist their waists and swing their hips when moving. Their walking posture looks quite coquettish.
'If outsiders came here, they might cheer excitedly.'
Lu Xiao is not that heavy on taste yet. He is more concerned about whether he can convince the Queen of the Di Human Race to temporarily give up eternal life and borrow Kongtong Yinwai to arrange the Formation of Loss.
The interior of the palace of the Di human race looks unique, but the overall idea is not much different from that of human palaces. The main design concept is also about splendor and splendor.
A majestic woman holding a golden scepter was sitting on the throne at the end of the palace hall. The ministers were arranged in two rows on the left and right, and everyone was staring closely at the outsider who had just been led into the palace gate.
There was wariness, hatred, kindness and curiosity in these eyes. Everyone seemed to have a different view on the arrival of Lu Xiao and others.
Wu Zhu saluted the queen respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have brought the distinguished guests."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Wu Zhu."
The queen's appearance is among the best among the Di people that Lu Xiao and others have seen. She has blue eyes and exotic appearance.
In Lu Xiao's words, this queen looks more like a West Asian.
Standing up from the throne using her thick fish tail to support her body, the Queen of the Di Human Race looked at the five aliens in the audience with somewhat complex eyes.
"I am the queen who rules the Di Ren Kingdom. I am a distinguished guest from afar. I already know the general purpose of your visit."
The Di people have lived in symbiosis with Kunyu for many years. After a long period of research, they finally obtained a method to communicate with Kunyu. From this, Wu Zhu, a special profession dedicated to worship and communication, came into being.
Through Wu Zhu's translation, the Queen already knew the reason why Lu Xiao and others wanted to take away the Kongtong Seal.
It's easy to say it's self-sacrifice, but it's not so easy to execute it when it's your turn.
Moreover, as the queen of a clan, she needs to consider more than just personal gains and losses.
Once the Kongtong Seal is removed, all Di humans will instantly lose the ability to stay young forever and return to the appearance they should have at their age.
The Queen said with twinkling eyes: "Unfortunately, the Di people lost the Kongtong Seal many years ago, and we were even driven out of our hometown where we have lived for thousands of years."
Under the half-truth and half-false explanation from the Queen of the Di Human Race, Lu Xiao and others roughly understood the details about the Kongtong Seal.
Originally, the Di people did not live in Kunyu's body, but lived freely on the seabed.
The special body structure allows them to breathe in the water and resist the huge water pressure on the seabed. Very few powerful aquatic creatures can survive thousands of meters deep on the seabed. The Di people have almost no natural enemies.
But that all changed more than 200 years ago.
A dragon from nowhere suddenly descended on the East China Sea and designated the vast sea area as its own territory without permission.
In order to defend their homeland, the Di people fought a protracted war with the shrimp soldiers and crab generals under the Black Dragon King.
The queen did not mention the specific battle situation, but as far as the result is concerned, the Di people lost the war and were driven out of their homeland by the Black Dragon King.
Under the leadership of the queen, the Di people could only temporarily live in the body of Kunyu, whom they had known for many years, wandering around the nearby seas away from home, waiting for the right opportunity to regain their homeland.
However, the Black Dragon King's greed did not disappear with the defeat of the Di people.
The youthful and beautiful appearance of the entire Di people made the Black Dragon King suspicious. Through research on the old royal palace of the Di people, he discovered the role of the Kongtong Seal, an ancient artifact.
The boundary of the Kongtong Seal was set up by a powerful swordsman 700 years ago. The Black Dragon King, who wanted to live forever, could not rewrite the rules of the Kongtong Seal.
So he came up with a crooked idea and relied on devouring the people of the Di human race to increase his lifespan and strength.
Kunyu's body is indeed safe, but in order to survive, the Di people must go out to fish every day. The Di people who are responsible for collecting food are often attacked by the Black Dragon King, which makes the Di people miserable.
"The Di people are not ignorant people. As the saying goes, if the skin is gone, the hair will not be attached."
"Once the land of China is invaded by Western demons, even the Di people living under the sea may not be able to survive."
The queen of the Di human race had her eyes moving, as if she was planning something.
"Kunyu has already conveyed your wishes to me. As long as you all agree to two conditions, I am willing to lend the Kongtong Seal to foreigners on behalf of the Di Human Race."
Lu Xiao had roughly guessed the queen's request, but in order to keep the conversation going smoothly, he deliberately pretended to be ignorant and asked: "May I ask the queen, what are your conditions."
"First."
The Queen raised her first finger: "The Kongtong Seal is stored in the hometown of our clan, but it is now occupied by the cruel and cruel Black Dragon King."
"My first request is to help the Di people kill the Black Dragon King so that our tribe can return to their homeland."
Lu Xiao nodded happily: "No problem, anyway, if you want to get the Kongtong Seal, you will definitely fight the Black Dragon King. This condition is very reasonable."
"second."
The Queen continued: "The barrier of the Kongtong Seal was set up by a swordsman from the Immortal Island in the East China Sea 700 years ago. I hope you can find that swordsman and convince him to maintain the Di Human race after the Kongtong Seal is used.
