From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

Deep in the Tidal Sea, the Temple of Vashj.

The Dark Iron Dwarf Captain Friggs was brought to the temple by the Siren, and Lu Heng and his four companions followed him into the temple.

Before they arrived at the temple, a Siren warrior had already returned to report to the Siren’s high priest.

So after a brief interrogation, Lu Heng and his four companions were taken into the temple by a team of Siren guards.

This Temple of Vashj is very majestic, and the columns are inlaid with fist-sized pearls, which are worth a lot of money.

This temple is in the deep sea, so Lu Heng and his four companions could not breathe when they dived into such a deep seabed.

With the physique of a high-level psychic, holding their breath for more than ten minutes is no problem, but if they cannot breathe for a long time, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

Lin Zeyu was already a little bit overwhelmed, stretched out his hand to pull Lu Heng’s arm, and pointed his finger at his mouth.

He couldn’t speak, and if he spoke now, he would definitely choke on a mouthful of sea water, which would be even more uncomfortable.

Originally, he thought that he could breathe after arriving at the Siren’s territory, but the situation was completely different from what he thought.

This Siren’s temple was also immersed in seawater, and there was no energy shield to provide air for breathing.

Lin Zeyu had reached the limit of holding his breath, and if he couldn’t find a place to breathe, he would take out the oxygen cylinder.

Lu Heng looked around and saw some seaweed growing in the coral group in the front yard of the temple. One of the seaweeds was exactly what he needed now.

However, this is the Siren’s territory, and it is indeed a temple. If you move things here at will, it may anger the Siren guards.

Lu Heng walked to the seaweed, looked at the Siren warrior, and pointed at the seaweed.

The Siren warrior understood what he meant and said, "Okay, you pick it."

The Siren’s vocal structure is very special, and they can speak in the water.

After getting his permission, Lu Heng reached out and picked a bunch of seaweed, returned to the team members, picked a leaf of seaweed, handed it to Lin Zeyu, then pointed at the seaweed and pointed at his mouth, signaling him to hold the seaweed in his mouth.

Lin Zeyu didn't understand, stuffed the seaweed into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

Lu Heng picked a leaf, put it in his mouth, and held it gently.

This seaweed is called fish gill grass, which is a special plant in the tidal sea.

Hold the fish gill grass in your mouth and occasionally bite it with your teeth. The juice overflowing from the fish gill grass will slowly decompose oxygen for living things to breathe.

This fish gill grass is indeed very magical, but it cannot completely replace air breathing.

After all, the amount of oxygen decomposed by the fish gill grass juice is not much, it can only barely maintain vitality. If you do strenuous exercise, this amount of oxygen is not enough.

Su Muyu and Xie Shien also picked a leaf of fish gill grass and held it in their mouths to feel the effect of this wonderful leaf.

Only Lin Zeyu was confused, because he had just misunderstood Lu Heng's meaning and swallowed the fish gill grass leaf after chewing it a few times.

When he found that Lu Heng and the other two were just holding the leaf in their mouths, it was too late.

Not only did he not get oxygen, his stomach began to swell, and he opened his mouth and burped.

Ugh!

After burping, he immediately choked on a mouthful of sea water, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands, holding his face red.

The three of them looked at his funny look and couldn't help laughing.

But you can't laugh in the sea, otherwise you will end up like this guy.

Lu Heng picked another fish gill grass leaf and handed it to him, then spit out half of the fish gill grass in his mouth, held it with his lips, and gestured to him.

Lin Zeyu had already understood what was going on, and hurriedly took the fish gill grass and put it in his mouth.

One leaf felt not enough, so he picked two leaves from the string of fish gill grass in Lu Heng's hand and stuffed them into his mouth, and then slowly stabilized his state.

The four continued to walk into the Temple of Vashj, passing through the corridors of the temple and all the way to the main hall.

In the main hall.

A team of siren warriors took Friggs and dragged him to the center of the main hall.

The walls and dome around the main hall were inlaid with glowing pearls, which illuminated the entire main hall magnificently.

To the north of the main hall stood a statue of the sea god, a female sea god with a human body and a snake tail, and her appearance was very similar to that of the sirens.

Friggs' mouth had been stuffed with fish gill grass by the sirens, so he did not drown, but he was not polite to the sirens at all, and from time to time he glared at these sea creatures with human bodies and snake tails with angry eyes.

Lu Heng and the other four were not taken, but the siren guards in the temple were always vigilant against the four.

After standing in the main hall for a while, a siren guard went to the back hall to report.

A moment later, a female siren dressed in the clothes of a high priest came out, holding a long-handled staff in her hand, with a sapphire on the top of the staff.

Lu Heng recognized it at a glance. The sapphire on the long-handled staff was the treasure of the siren tribe, the Heart of the Tide.

Legend has it that if you own this gem, you can gain the power bestowed by the sea god.

And this female siren is the high priest "Sona" of the siren tribe, and also the patriarch of the siren tribe.

The siren tribe as a whole is a matriarchal clan, and most of the branches are female patriarchs and female high priests.

A few branches have male patriarchs, but even if the patriarch is male, the high priest is usually female.

Because in the siren tribe, men are stronger and often grow into warriors, while women have stronger mental strength and can often master the ability to call the tide through learning.

In the deep sea, the ability to call the tide can often determine the fate of the entire tribe.

Therefore, in the siren tribe, women have a high status.

Of course, this situation is not absolute.

The Siren Clan does not stipulate that men cannot become high priests, but stipulates that only the siren with the strongest tide-calling ability is qualified to inherit the position of high priest.

Women have stronger mental attributes, so in terms of tide-calling ability, women have obvious advantages.

In the history of the Kraken clan, there have also been male high priests, but the number was relatively small.

Generally speaking, male sirens are usually strong warriors, and the weapons they use are usually harpoons, while female sirens are more likely to become tidecallers and master the power of water magic.

…

After the Sona high priest came in, he glanced around at the people in the main hall.

In addition to Frigus, there are four humans, Lu Heng.

Just by looking at their appearance, you can tell that humans, like Dark Iron dwarves, are land creatures.

Terrestrial creatures usually do not have the ability to communicate in water, and breathing is difficult.

High Priest Sona raised the staff in his hand and waved it, and the power of a wave swept away from the main hall, forming a whirlpool and pushing the sea water away.

In the blink of an eye, the seawater in the main hall was pushed outside, filling the space in the main hall with air.

After the sea water was pushed out, Lu Heng, the four of them and Frigus immediately felt that their breathing was smoother, and sea water was still dripping onto the ground.

call!

Lin Zeyu opened his mouth, took a big breath, and then exhaled heavily, with a very comfortable expression.

Most Dark Iron dwarves have bad tempers, like lava in a volcano.

After Frigus breathed air, he could finally speak, shook off the shackles on his hands, pointed at the High Priest Sona and cursed: "You damn sirens, you know how to sneak up on us in the sea!"

snort!

High Priest Sona showed an angry look on his face, fluttering his sleeves and angrily yelling: "You black iron dwarves, instead of staying on land, you want to go to the sea to seek death!"

The surrounding siren warriors and guards were all angry, holding up harpoons and knives and axes. As soon as the high priest gave the order, they immediately chopped the black iron dwarf into minced meat and fed it to the sharks.

Friggs had no intention of backing down. He was caught here voluntarily without any thought of returning alive.

So he pointed at the high priest of the Kraken clan and continued to curse.

The anger on the face of High Priest Sona became more and more intense, and the situation suddenly became tense.

Seeing this situation, Lu Heng knew that if he didn't do something, the black iron dwarf captain would be hacked to death immediately. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, wait a moment. If you have any grievances or conflicts, you can sit down and talk about it."

High Priest Sona glanced at Lu Heng and snorted: "It's not your turn yet."

Lu Heng took the initiative to reveal his identity: "We are conscripts, from the human world. You have never seen humans, but you should know about the existence of conscripts."

High Priest Sona snorted coldly: "Of course, the death method of the Abyss Recruiters will not be much better than that of the Dark Iron Dwarves."

Recruitment is not necessarily a good thing for the indigenous races.

Therefore, not all native races welcome draftees.

After all, Abyss Recruiters are also Recruiters, but they are recruited by Abyss, and they perform tasks to help Abyss devour the target world.

The task of the Forward Recruiter is usually to help the target world purify the pollution sources of the abyss, but there will be many special circumstances.

For example, the "betrayers" among the recruiters will also cause the indigenous races to be more wary of the recruiters.

In addition to this, there is also the case of "raiding teams".

In short, a variety of factors add up to make the indigenous races not necessarily friendly to recruiters. It is good to remain neutral.

Lu Heng hurriedly explained: "My mission requires establishing diplomatic relations with the Kraken Tribe, hoping that humans can coexist peacefully with the Kraken Tribe. In addition, my challenge mission is to find the source of pollution in the abyss, which means that there is a high probability of an abyss in the tidal sea. Source of pollution. Even if you don’t believe in humans, you should find the source of pollution in the abyss and clean it up first.”

High Priest Sona's eyes narrowed slightly, a thoughtful expression appeared on her cold and beautiful face, and she questioned: "My guards reported to me that you helped the Dark Iron Dwarves."

Since the Kraken Tribe and the Dark Iron Dwarves are currently in a hostile relationship, although it has not yet reached the point of declaring war, the relationship is indeed very bad.

Therefore, if humans help the Dark Iron Dwarves, they will naturally be branded with hostility by the Sirens.

Lu Heng sighed and explained: "Okay. I won't hide it either. My challenge mission requires me to help you reconcile with the Black Iron Dwarves.

“The challenge is not mandatory, but I still want to give it a try.

"High Priest, please don't get angry first, and make a decision after listening to my suggestions.

“The Dark Iron Dwarves are a land race, while the Sirens are a sea race.

"In terms of living space, there is no competition between your two ethnic groups, so there should be no conflicts between your two ethnic groups.

"What causes you to be hostile to each other? Can you tell me the reason?"

In fact, Lu Heng knew something about the reasons for the conflict between the two races, but he only knew a rough idea. It was best to ask clearly.

The Siren War General on the side yelled angrily: "It's all these damn black iron dwarves who poured volcanic ash into the sea and polluted our sea water!"

This statement is similar to what I remember.

According to previous memories, the reason why the Sirens attacked the Black Iron Dwarves was because the Black Iron Dwarves transported volcanic ash and cinders to the tidal sea and dumped them, polluting the seawater here.

The Tidal Sea is the home of the Sirens. It is normal to get angry when the Dark Iron Dwarves dump garbage on your home.

For any race, when other races dump garbage into their homes and pollute the environment, it is inevitable to make enemies.

However, there is a question here. Why do the Dark Iron Dwarves dump volcanic ash into the sea?

Lu Heng looked at Friggs and asked, "Captain, if you want to resolve the feud between the two races, it is best to answer this question. Why do the Dark Iron Dwarves dump volcanic ash into the Tidal Sea?"

Friggs snorted coldly and said a little unreasonably: "The Tidal Sea is so big, and the volcanic ash we dumped is not in the territory of the Siren Clan. There is no Siren Clan settlement within a thousand miles around. Why can't we do it? Does the whole world's seawater belong to them, the Siren?"

This seems to make sense.

The Siren Clan does live in the Tidal Sea, but the Tidal Sea is very large. Whether every inch of the ocean belongs to the Siren Clan, there are many things to argue about.

High Priest Sona snorted coldly: "The Dark Iron Dwarves really can't communicate. Drag them down to feed the sea beasts!"

Two Siren warriors stepped forward and were about to drag Friggs away.

Lu Heng hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

High Priest Sona narrowed her eyes and snorted: "Do you want to feed the sea beast too?"

Lu Heng stretched out his hand to stop the Siren warrior who was dragging Frigus forward, and said: "High Priest, it is already difficult to resist the abyss, and the Dark Iron Dwarves are also resisting the abyss. The hostility between your two tribes will only make this world swallowed by the abyss faster.

"Why can't you talk about it? When encountering a problem, you should solve the problem first, instead of attacking each other. I think the high priest should understand this truth. "

High Priest Sona was thoughtful, but her tone was still angry, and she asked: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Heng explained: "I want to ask clearly, do the Siren tribe know why the Tidal Sea was polluted, is it just the volcanic ash dumped by the Dark Iron Dwarves? "

High Priest Sona fell silent. It was obvious that Lu Heng was right.

The Tidal Sea was polluted, and the reason for it was indeed the Dark Iron Dwarves dumping volcanic ash, but could dumping volcanic ash alone pollute the entire Tidal Sea?

The Dark Iron Dwarves used ships to transport volcanic ash and dumped it in the deep sea. Even if they kept transporting it back and forth, the total amount would not be too much.

There must be some unknown reasons.

Just as High Priest Sona was thinking, another team of Siren warriors came back from outside, along with a human team.

Su Muyu hurriedly reminded Lu Heng in his ear: "It's Liu Haiyang and the others."

The Siren warrior who led the team returned to the main hall and reported: "High Priest, the mad sea beast that we finally killed this time was helped by a team of recruiters who claimed to be humans during the battle.

"They hope to see the High Priest, so I brought them back."

After Liu Haiyang and the other six entered the main hall, they immediately stood at attention and saluted Lu Heng: "Report to the commander, Sergeant Liu Haiyang is here to report!"
