The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 275
Chapter 275 Robbing the Black Spirit Fruit (1)
Wei Lin and Ming You nodded in agreement. They had to work together. No one would object to this, and then they agreed on how to divide the spoils.
The remuneration of the guards was the same as that of their master. The guards they brought were all Jiuhuan Daoist. Of course, what they received was usually given to their clan head, so bringing the guards along was a very advantageous thing.
This was also why Mystery Sect had to vigorously nurture the disciples’ guards. These guards relied on the seal rings provided by Mystery Sect to advance step by step and reach the Nine Rings True Body. They had to provide Mystery Sect with assistance to enter Mystery Sect. As long as their aptitude wasn’t too bad, reaching the Six to Nine Rings was basically a logical thing.
This was basically Mystery Sect’s strategy. There were many things that were not suitable for direct descendants to come forward. This depended on cultivators trained by Mystery Sect to handle it. As for cultivators entering Mystery Sect to raise their cultivation level, there was practically no doubt about it. This was a condition that both sides were willing to accept.
Lei Xingfeng and Lei Bao were given a simple task. That was to fight, drive out the Black Fishmen, form a defensive circle, and cover for the others to pick the Black Spirit Fruits.
Sister-in-law Hu was in charge of leading the way. The middle-sized tribe was quite far from Qingshui Island, and it would take four days to arrive.
…
Black waters.
Stone Bay was located at the center of the black waters. Countless boulders stood in the black water, forming a complicated terrain. It was different from the endless black water. The surface of the water that was divided by the boulders was very special.
Sister-in-law Hu held a walking stick in her hand. She hung in the air and said, “Stone Bay Black Fish Human, “It was originally a large Black Fish Human. More than ten years ago, it was surrounded by hundreds of cultivators and suffered heavy casualties. The entire tribe lost half of their combat strength. Later, when they snatched the Black Spirit Fruit, they deliberately destroyed most of the Black Spirit Fruit, causing the cultivators to receive almost no harvest. Therefore, those cultivators immediately took revenge.”
“Because of this, the entire tribe declined. At that time, 70% of the Black Fishermen were killed. A large tribe of more than 100,000 Black Fishermen had fewer than tens of thousands left.”
Auntie Hu continued, “Normally, cleverer tribes would destroy the Black Spirit Fruit when attacked, but they would not destroy it all. This is not something they can afford. As long as cultivators snatch the Black Spirit Fruit, they will basically not take the initiative to attack. If nothing is obtained, then cruel killing will occur.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Isn’t it better to open up the Black Spirit Fruit or sell it?”
Sister-in-law Hu shook her head and said, “They don’t have that kind of intelligence, Well, to be exact, they haven’t bloomed to this point yet, “If they are intelligent, cultivators will not bother to kill them. Trading is the best choice. In fact, there are many indigenous people in the outer world. Generally speaking, as long as we are willing to trade with cultivators and live together peacefully, there will be no danger. Even cultivators will teach them to learn.”
Lei Xingfeng sighed and shook his head, “A man is innocent. He is guilty, poor Black Fishman.”
No one understood what he said before, but they all understood what he said after.
Auntie Hu sneered, “Nothing pitiful. They are even more stupid than wild beasts. When wild beasts encounter invincible beasts, they will still run away. These black fish men are just stubborn minds. They desperately come up nest by nest. They won’t negotiate with you at all. The final result is to fight to the death.”
Yukou also understood the situation better. He said, “There was no way to communicate with the Black Fishman. There were cultivators who tried to do that before, but they were basically disappointed.”
Auntie Hu nodded and said, “Many, many people have tried, but it’s useless. Therefore, the people who come to the Black Waters are all thinking of robbing. Also, kill the Black Fishman … There must be some restraint. If the Black Fishman doesn’t threaten me, then I won’t kill him. If I kill all the Black Fishman, then no one will grow the Black Spirit Fruit.”
Everyone nodded. Everyone could understand this relationship. The Black Spirit Fruit could not be cultivated in the wild. It needed to be cultivated by the Black Fishman. Once the Black Fishman was eliminated, it would also mean the disappearance of the Black Spirit Fruit. Cultivators would not act recklessly.
In the past, the Black Fishermen were almost wiped out. Only later did the cultivators react. Killing all the Black Fishermen would not benefit them at all. Later on, they robbed the Black Fishermen. Basically, they would only kill the Black Fishermen who were harassing them. There would be no large-scale retaliatory slaughter.
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “The Black Fisherman is still a bit lucky. Losing is also the Black Spirit Fruit, and success is also the Black Spirit Fruit. Because of the Black Spirit Fruit, they were robbed and killed, and because of the Black Spirit Fruit, they were able to survive under the hands of cultivators. Haha, that’s contradictory enough.”
Black Bird said, “You birdmen are bullshit!”
Everyone couldn’t help but look at the black lines on their faces. This black bird was truly unscrupulous. However, no one refuted the black bird. In fact, humans were the most contradictory. Everyone acknowledged this, especially cultivators. They possessed great strength and were even more free to do whatever they wished in the outside world.
Lei Xingfeng stared at Stone Bay.
Stone Bay was very mysterious. Countless huge green rocks stood tall in the black water. The rocks were large and small, and were as dense as forests. Some places were sparse, while others were dense. The tall rocks were even a hundred meters tall. The low rocks were still soaked in the water, only slightly higher than the black water.
Therefore, in Stone Bay, if one didn’t know how to fly, they wouldn’t be able to get in or out at all. It was like a maze inside. Of course, for Daoist Priests above the sixth ring, this terrain wouldn’t be troublesome, and there were even various benefits.
The biggest weakness of the Black Fishmen was that they could not fly. They could only move in the water and land. The sky was occupied by cultivators, so they took the initiative. This was a transformation from plane to three-dimensional. This was also one of the reasons why cultivators were powerful.
“We try not to alert the Black Fishman,” Yu Kou said. “Well, we need to figure out where the Black Spirit Fruit is planted in the paddy field.”
“I know that. I’ve come to investigate it before,” Sister-in-law Hu said.
“Great,” said Yu Kou happily. “It saves us a lot of work. Haha, where are their paddy fields?”
Auntie Hu said, “In the middle, in the middle of the Stone Bay, there is a piece of water. Well, it’s about 10,000 mu. Most of the water is planted with Black Spirit Fruits.”
Xin Zhaolun interrupted, “Where are the ripe Black Spirit Fruits? Have you figured it out?”
Sister-in-law Hu’s voice was filled with pride. She said, “Of course, the 1000 acres that are about to mature … It’s just south. Mm, it’s close to where we are now.”
Yu Kou pondered for a moment and said, “Should we sneak in or charge directly?”
Sister-in-law Hu said, “Of course, it’s a direct attack. It’s very difficult to sneak in. There are countless Black Fishman’s hidden sentries here, and they will discover those who enter at any time. When we were investigating, we just rushed in directly. However, we didn’t snatch the Black Spirit Fruit. As long as we don’t snatch the Black Spirit Fruit, the Black Fishman won’t care about us.”
Qi Mei Yun said, “That’s because you have fewer people. If there were more people, it would be different.”
Sister-in-law Hu said, “Of course, this is also the reason why we can only scout and not rob. It is very rare to rob by force.”
Yu Kou said, “Actually, two or three people can also snatch it. Haha, it’s just that there aren’t many people snatching it. It’s good to be able to snatch more than ten Black Spirit Fruits at a time.”
In fact, with Jiuhuan Daoist’s strength, Even a few people can kill a lot of black fish people, However, they all knew that they couldn’t let go of the slaughter. Moreover, the Black Fishermen were protected by black water. As long as they didn’t reveal themselves, Jiuhuan Daoist’s killing power would be greatly reduced. This was different from Lord. Lord had the ability to force the Black Fishermen out of the black water and directly expose them. That was truly a massacre.
The Black Spirit Fruit grew in the water. It was a little higher than the black water layer. It was still in the clear water. If one wanted to pick it, they had to go into the water. They had to make sure that they did not enter the black water. Once they came into contact with the black water and were not prepared, it would be extremely dangerous.
Black wat behaves a little like quicksand, It sucks people in when it comes in contact, Dragging people into the black water didn’t matter much. With Jiuhuan Daoist’s strength, he still had a chance to get rid of the black water’s suction force. However, with the Black Fishman in the black water, it would be completely different. The black water would remove the protective shield of the real person. The Black Fishman could take this opportunity to bite the part of the person that fell into the black water and instantly bite off his feet and legs.
Many cultivators suffered such a huge loss and even died in the black water.
Experienced Daoists always leave when they fight against the Black Fishmen. They don’t entangle themselves at all. They try their best to fight on the surface of the water instead of going into the water to fight against the Black Fishmen. In the water, even if you are Jiuhuan Daoist, you are still very passive.
This was also the reason why cultivators had to form teams. Only by being restrained, blocked, and picked would they be able to obtain more Black Spirit Fruits.
The mission had already been assigned. Yu Kou checked it again and said, “Since you barged in, then let’s do it!”
A small team of more than twenty people, It was already very scary to be in the Black Waters. Especially for the Black Fishermen, more than 20 Daoists could already attack large Black Fishermen Tribes, but they came to attack a medium-sized Black Fisherman Tribe. When more than 20 people flew over the Stone Bay, the black water below could violently roll and whine.
As Lei Xingfeng flew forward, he asked, “What’s that sound? It’s like crying.”
Yu Kou said, “That’s the warning sound of the Black Fishman!”
“It’s so ugly,” said Lei Xingfeng.
Lei Bao caught up from behind. He said, “Feng, don’t be careful. We are born to restrain the Black Fishman. There’s no need to be nervous. The Black Fishman touches an electric current. Although he won’t die, he will immediately faint and sink. Haha, I’ve tested it. It’s very effective. Don’t fight it head-on. It’s meaningless.”
With an old man reminding him, Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Alright, I know. Hehe, lightning fish!” In the depths of his heart, he did not treat the Black Fishman as a human. These cultivators also did not treat the Black Fishman as a human. In their minds, the Black Fishman was actually a fish, a fish that looked extremely similar to a human.
