Pirate Kingship

The volcanic islands are only a few hundred kilometers away from the coastline of the southern continent. Xiao Wo used only two whirlpools to teleport and brought the [Golden Deer] to the coastal waters of the mainland.

Whew.

The heavy rain in the sky is still falling. There is only a white rain curtain where the sky and the sea meet, and waves surge under the ship one after another.

The hydrological environment of the offshore seabed is also extremely complex. When sailing, it is possible to hit reefs, shoals, or sandbanks that are temporarily submerged underwater due to high tide.

Invisible shipping killers are everywhere.

The role of nautical charts drawn by generations of navigators is also for this. The safety of sailboats can only be guaranteed when sailing on fixed routes.

When they came to unfamiliar waters as the vanguard, they could only rely on themselves for everything.

[Navigator] Delia's expression tightened, and the flame of the whale oil lantern in her hand shone brightly, spreading invisible ripples, transmitting all the nearby hydrological information to Bruch's heart at the helm.

In the other hand, he still held the crystal skull No. 10 [Goddess of the South] that Byron had just found in the rift trench, so he was not afraid of the complex underwater environment.

Skull No. 4 [Rain God] made the rainstorm automatically avoid the warship, and the deck of the Golden Deer was always dry.

"Huh? Captain, look, there is an indigenous tribe here?"

The warship sailed south along the coastline of the mainland. When passing a small moon-shaped bay, they unexpectedly discovered a village with about a hundred families on the coast.

Although the scale of this village does not look small, it is obvious that they have just moved here not long ago.

The houses are still very simple, and can only be regarded as simple huts built with branches and palm leaves. There is not even a slightly luxurious stone building.

There are also a few thin male natives on the shore, repairing the house in this sudden storm.

The skin color is obviously darker than that of the Taino people of Azik and Taya, and the Quechua people who established the Empire of the Sun, and it is faintly blue-black.

In the center of the village, there is a very tall totem pole with a long history.

It looks like it is of the same lineage as the Bantaan Islands. At the top, the guardian spirit position is occupied by a ferocious hammerhead shark with a red mouth.

In the spiritual vision, a huge deep blue field is formed, protecting this tribe from other evil spirits and weird invasions.

"It turns out that the southern continent is the same as the Bantaan Islands. In addition to the two major empires of Azik and Taya, there are also many small tribes.

Overall, even these small tribes are much stronger than our counterparts in the Bantaan Islands.

The strength of the guardian spirit should be between the third and fourth levels.

However."

Violet sniffed the air with her own instinct in the form of [Night Demon], and then continued:

"These people have the same blood as our Taino people, but their bodies seem to be mixed with something else more or less, and they are no longer pure humans."

Byron next to him also came to the same conclusion, turned his head to look at Prince Atahualpa, who "picked up a big bargain" in the transaction and sighed in a very good mood.

I was very lucky that I had a fourth-level mythical creature as a guide as soon as I arrived at this new map of the southern continent.

It was much better than the other colonists who were running around like headless flies.

The latter frowned deeply when he saw the indigenous tribe in front of him who had just moved to the vicinity of the Sun Empire from somewhere unknown.

From the perspective of Governor Qincha Suyu, he thought about the next response strategy and did not forget to answer their questions.

Instead of answering directly, he asked a question first:

"Your Majesty, Lord of Heaven, have you ever heard of the forbidden knowledge "Book of Beast Families"? "

When Byron heard this familiar name, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly thought of something, but he answered without hiding anything:

"Of course I know this forbidden knowledge.

Because more than a thousand years ago, it was the founder of the Taya Empire, [God] Itsumna, who first obtained the "divine revelation" and learned this knowledge from [Mother of Monsters Echidna], and then spread it to all Taino people.

The extraordinary system of the entire Bantaan Islands, "Beast Spirit Warriors", is based on this knowledge.

Moreover, the most complete "Book of Beast Families" (Volume 1) is here with me."

As he spoke, he nodded his head, which was also the No. 1 crystal skull [Lord of Heaven], and the countless dead souls and ancestors sleeping in the Huashan Heaven.

All beast spirit warriors who believe in the Lord of Heaven can receive his blessing and inherit part of the power of the ancestral spirits who have transformed into various plants and fallen into deep sleep on the Flower Mountain.

Atahualpa did not expect such an unexpected origin. After a moment of surprise, he continued:

"This is much easier to explain.

The natives in the mouths of the white barbarians should have originated from the same tribe long ago.

The original Paradise of Beasts, Broken Islands and Bantaan Islands should all be connected together as a complete continent (Chapter 354).

The difference is that when this continent collapsed, we were separated by geography and each obtained different knowledge.

Your Bantaan Islands are the upper volume, and our Paradise of Beasts are the lower volume.

The lower volume contains a description of the upper volume. The difference between the two is that the upper volume belongs to humans, and the lower volume belongs to aliens - all kinds of strange natural spirits!

This knowledge allows them to perfectly occupy the flesh and blood of a certain animal through the 'spiritual' ritual, and embark on a transcendent path different from humans.

Such animals are usually close to themselves.

Humans go from humans to mythical creatures step by step; they go from beasts to intermediate humans to mythical creatures, and finally become gods, becoming the same as humans after reaching the fifth level.

The essence is still the reconciliation of animal nature, human nature, and divinity.

My ancestor, the great [Sun God] Inti was one of the first beings to obtain the second volume, but he was a natural spirit in human form from the beginning.

From this point of view, [Sun God] should have established their own great empires at the same time as the [Celestial God] Itsumna you mentioned.

Only then did we, the descendants of the gods, and the forbidden book "Sun Sacred Book" that is most suitable for us.

Apart from us, natural spirits are everywhere in the animistic ‘Paradise of Beasts’.

While they were anchoring their tribes and stabilizing their own divinity with the help of the "Book of Beast Familiars", they were also subtly transforming the bloodline of their tribesmen in various ways, and naturally these people who were different from us were born."

Before he could think of a suitable adjective.

clang! clang! clang!

The alarm bell rang on the mainmast, and Gus, the Phantom Blade stationed here, warned the whole ship:

"Captain, there is something blocking the way under the water, rushing towards us, very fast!"

Just after the alarm bell rang three times, they already saw hundreds of white water lines rising rapidly in the depths of the crescent-shaped bay, splitting the waves like sharp arrows and flying toward the Golden Deer.

Like a swarm of hungry sharks smelling blood.

It doesn't look like that, it's a group of half-human, half-shark hammerhead sharks, exactly the same as the totem of this tribe!

And it was clear that his attitude was very unfriendly. The largest one, the leader, roared menacingly as soon as he came up:

"Outsiders, you have entered the realm of [Hammerhead God] Copacati, leaving half of the living people on the ship as sacrifices, and the others get out of here immediately."

A swarm of hammerhead sharks soon formed a half-moon shape, blocking the path of the Golden Deer.

Byron ignored them, looked behind them, and found a deformed monster seven or eight meters long, half human and half animal, entrenched on the shoal two to three meters below the water inside the bay.

The whole body looks like a hammerhead shark, but at the top of the hammer-like head extending to both sides, there is a blue-black human face on each side.

One part human, nine part beast-like, all in all he is a monster, which is also what most of the totem gods on the southern continent look like.

Compared to those bloodthirsty monsters, the only difference is probably that they still have reason.

Obviously this is the so-called [Hammerhead God] Copacati.

"But don't say it, don't say it. He was given the wrong name but not the wrong nickname. This guy's head really looks like a hammer.

As for the divine realm?"

Byron used his [Weather Intuition] to sense that there was a ground source circulation node under the opponent, and the opponent relied on this to expand a considerable area.

The aura in the divine realm has reached the fourth level, but the spiritual light on his body flickers, as if he is injured.

Prince Atahualpa next to him did not take these hammerhead sharks to heart, but just explained to Byron and his party at the right time:

"Everything in the Paradise of Beasts is animistic, among which the mountain god, river god or earth god who occupies a place is the strongest, and is called Apu.

All the important mountains, rivers, forests, and even some particularly large rocks and caves on this continent have their own Apu.

After many totem gods reach a certain level, they will seize Apu's position, occupy the nodes of the earth's veins, and build their own divine domain.

At this time, most of them had already performed their second bloodline sublimation ceremony, transforming into half-human and half-animal. They had at least the strength of a third-level transcendent, and could reach another level in the divine realm.

These are definitely hard bones that can break other people's teeth. Even if they are one level higher than them, it is extremely difficult to attack their lair.

The Empire of the Sun expanded little by little in the mountains, and in more than a thousand years it only managed to establish its current territory.

Moreover, at the stage of being half-human and half-animal, the totem god can also break the reproductive isolation between species and reproduce with the female and male shamans who serve him.

Only those descendants of the tribe who possess 'divine blood' can become extraordinary beings, serving as the backbone to support their ancestors and gods, and at the same time continue to grow the tribe.

There are thousands of such gods throughout the Beastland.

The original Taíno tribe naturally gradually divided into different groups over a long period of time.

If the great [Sun God] Inti was not a natural spirit in human form, our Sun Empire would have become a kingdom of beasts. "

"this"

Although Byron didn't fully understand it, he was already greatly shocked.

"Natural spirits that were originally beasts transformed into the same kind of bodies, and then combined with humans who represent 'variables' to breed a huge group of gods?

Half beast? Half demon? Half human? Orcs?

Even in my previous life, I had only heard of dolphins actually doing this kind of thing.

However, if you talk about foxes, pythons, caterpillars, and even female ghosts, I have indeed heard of them, so it’s not so hard to accept. "

He accepted it, but even as a fan of tentacle girls, whale girls, night demon girls and dragon girls, Byron felt that the way the totem god played was a bit too avant-garde.

After Atahualpa's explanation, they also understood the current supernatural system of the southern continent.

The main body is no longer human, but natural spirits dominated by various beasts.

In fact, we have already seen the clues from the families of [Abyss Nightmare] Dagon and [Father of Sharks] Ponape.

The essence of the two is the same.

Bypassing the limitation of no legal network to provide anchoring, they built their own belief network from scratch, with people as believers and anchors.

Then continue to strengthen the blood descendants, let them branch out like stallions, constantly expand their territory and tribes, and disperse their own bestiality and chaos, so that the descendants of the gods become their most powerful anchor in the material world!

Just like pouring cold water into boiling water, the degree of chaos in the entire system is greatly reduced.

In the previous life, there was a concept called "entropy reduction".

As for the state of the [Hammer God] Kopakati in front of him, it is similar to that of the "Master's Wife" [Zhi Shen] who had just revived.

The natural spirit presents this half-human, half-beast appearance according to the proportion of the beast and divinity in the body.

The different proportions of divinity and beast will also lead to different proportions of human and beast in appearance. Usually the beast part is much larger than the divinity part.

As long as the human head and face are retained, the beast in the body can be controlled and one's own sanity can be maintained.

Even the state of depravity is completely reversible.

The long-term stable method is to cultivate believers, and the short-term and immediate method is simpler, that is, eating people!

"The promise to leave half of the people on the ship as sacrifices and let the others leave was just to let the people on the ship fight among themselves.

There is only one way for the crew to choose who will be eaten and who will not be eaten, and that is-fighting.

The blood will flow like a river, and then they will reap the benefits.

But for a totem god with only two faces and still anchored in reason, not using his best claws to solve the problem, but using his brain, it only shows that his force is no longer enough to solve the problem.

But whether it is intact or not is irrelevant."

Byron turned his head to look at Prince Atahualpa, and asked with a smile:

"Your Highness, since you have already ordered our arms, do you want to know the supporting tactics of artillery, the king of war, in colonial development?"

"Of course, please start your demonstration."

Under the interested eyes of the native prince, Byron exhaled and shouted to the [Hammerhead God] under the water:

"Please give me a favor!"

Just when the totem god was confused, Byron stepped on the ground with his right foot, blasted a circle of gas explosion rings, and threw out a [Earth Vein Sealing Bolt] with his backhand.

But he took advantage of the feature of the entry that he must give a gift to the other party after others gave him face, and turned "I give a gift with my backhand" into "Dongfeng Express"!
