Chapter 516: [515] The Flower of the Mother Goddess, Incomparable Among People

The scene of "commoners scrambling for sea fish" that took place in the market left a deep impression on the newly appointed Vice Commander Zhu Mingxun.

The frenzy with which the commoners were buying was as if the sea fish were being given away for free.

Of course.

It wasn't actually free.

It's just that compared to the prices of beef, mutton, chicken, and duck, sea fish was indeed very cheap.

Two copper coins per catty, even cheaper than mushrooms.

This is not surprising.

Although the fortress is primarily a place for people to live, the internal space is limited, and there isn't much room for raising livestock.

And the supply and demand relationship directly determines the price.

With low production and such high demand, the price naturally cannot be cheap.

If it weren't for the market specifically stipulating a limit of "two sea fish per person," there would definitely be people buying ten or twenty.

Regarding this.

Zhu Mingxun only had one thought in his mind - clever!

Who is clever?

Of course, it's Deputy Commander Cheng!

According to the information known by this Vice Commander, after the Flower Yunmu entered this theater of war, the first order given by the Deputy Commander was to cure the Blood Shrimp Disease.

The second order was to mass-produce non-toxic sea fish.

The former quickly resolved the commoners' fear of the disease.

The latter, in one fell swoop, resolved the commoners' desire for meat.

Zhu Mingxun strolled around for a whole morning, filled with emotion: "No wonder not a single commoner in the entire theater of war speaks ill of Flower Yunmu."

All the commoners have benefited, so of course, no one would dislike Flower Yunmu.

If the court in the theater of war ordered the expulsion of this Flower Yunmu tribe, the commoners would definitely voice their complaints.

The more Zhu Mingxun thought about it, the more he admired: "If some of the commoners oppose it, the court can ignore them, but if all the commoners oppose it, I'm afraid even the Lord wouldn't dare to ignore them.

"These two simple methods used by Deputy Commander Cheng have completely bound the Flower Yunmu tribe to the Eastern Li theater of war.

"Even if he leaves the Eastern Li theater of war in the future, or even leaves this world, the theater of war will not do anything to Flower Yunmu!"

This made Zhu Mingxun a little frustrated.

From the current situation, this Flower Yunmu tribe, stationed in the Eastern Li theater of war, seems to have become a settled matter.

Or, this is the trend of history.

Even if he is the Vice Commander, he cannot shake this fact.

Unless Flower Yunmu really causes trouble in secret.

Just at this moment.

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Zhu Mingxun's mind, and he had a new idea.

"Since I can't resist the trend, why not make use of it?

"With Deputy Commander Cheng's outstanding talent, anyone can tell that it's only a matter of time before he leaves the Eastern Li theater of war.

"At that time, the theater of war will definitely need another Vice Commander to replace the Deputy Commander and take charge of this Flower Yunmu tribe."

Zhu Mingxun's eyes sparkled, and his thoughts became clearer.

"I can make some preparations in advance and build good relationships with important figures in Flower Yunmu in secret.

"When the moment comes for Deputy Commander Cheng to be transferred from the theater of war, I can directly fill the vacancy of the Deputy Commander with this advantage.

"If Flower Yunmu has no ulterior motives, I can use them to gain more merits.

"If Flower Yunmu has ill intentions, I can also detect it in advance and capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Gu Mingxun was extremely excited in his heart: "This is a good idea!"

At this moment.

The vice general seemed to have forgotten that just last night, he confidently declared in front of his subordinates, "Hua Yunmu staying in the war zone will bring endless trouble."

Half an hour later.

Gu Mingxun returned to the pier and bought another ticket, successfully boarding the floating wooden boat bound for Ice Lotus Island.

The boat had only traveled less than a third of the way when a small accident occurred.

"Crack!"

A very subtle and strange sound suddenly came from the bottom of the boat.

Relying on the extraordinary hearing of the Xuan Master, Gu Mingxun instantly determined that it was the fish under the sea gnawing at the bottom of the boat.

"Crack! Crack!"

The gnawing quickly intensified.

Everyone on the floating wooden boat noticed.

Many passengers were a little panicked, their faces filled with unease.

The crew, on the other hand, remained calm and shouted loudly, "Everyone, every route has Sea Eagles patrolling, and we have already notified the Sea Eagle Legion. Within five minutes, Sea Eagles will arrive and disperse the fish under the sea. This floating wooden boat is absolutely safe."

The tense atmosphere among the crowd immediately eased a bit.

Only thirty seconds passed.

The gnawing sound from underwater suddenly stopped.

The passengers immediately noticed.

"The Sea Eagles arrived so quickly!"

"The fish have been dispersed!"

A slight smile appeared on Gu Mingxun's lips.

The vice general heard the cries of "Yiya" and "Ahya" and even distinguished that the voices came from two Hua Yunmu.

Obviously.

It wasn't the Sea Eagles that arrived.

It was the Hua Yunmu who arrived in time and dispersed the fish attacking the boat.

Soon.

The crew also discovered the true situation.

A crew member shouted directly, "I saw the Hua Yunmu! They saved this boat!"

Another crew member pointed to the sea and shouted, "It seems like they're killing fish in the sea!"

The passengers immediately rushed to the windows and looked outside.

What they saw.

They saw two graceful figures shuttling underwater at an extremely fast speed.

There was no doubt that they were the Hua Yunmu.

And wherever they passed, one after another, large and small fish corpses floated up from the water.

This scene.

Completely confirmed the words of the crew.

Gu Mingxun's heart moved behind the window: "Isn't this a good opportunity?"

First, find a way to contact the Hua Yunmu under the sea, and then use them to contact important figures among the Hua Yunmu. This is a feasible plan.

Vice General Gu decisively decided, "Let's do it!"

He stared at the sea without blinking, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, instantly seeing the two Hua Yunmu clearly.

At the same time.

Gu Mingxun lightly flicked his right finger and sent out two extraordinary marks, instantly hitting the two figures underwater.

Next second.

The movement speed of the two flower micas suddenly slowed down.

Deputy General Gu immediately smiled.

Not bad!

It worked!

In the depths of Gu Mingxun's heart, there was a sense of self-satisfaction that he deserved.

If it were other Xuan Masters, even if they had ideas, they might not be able to do it in the case of a language barrier.

But he had practiced a secret method that could accurately convey his thoughts to the flower micas.

"Splash~"

The sound of water waves rang out.

Two beautiful faces emerged from the water, curiously looking towards the floating wooden boat.

The smile on Gu Mingxun's face deepened.

Got a bite!

The deputy general originally thought that the two flower micas would be very willing to meet him.

After all, he had clearly stated in the message, "I am the deputy general of the war zone, I have enough ability to fight for a better treatment for the flower mica clan!"

In order to make the other party believe, the deputy general also left a spiritual imprint of the Xuan Master level.

And the flower micas were a race born with extraordinary powers, they should be able to discern it.

However.

The following facts were completely different from what Gu Mingxun had expected.

The two flower micas glanced at each other, and a very obvious mocking expression appeared on their faces.

"Yiya!"

"Yia!"

They even called out a few times.

Relying on the effect of the imprint, Gu Mingxun instantly understood what they were saying.

"Shameless! You actually thought of secretly stealing our affection, do you think we can't see through it?"

"We only listen to the orders of the 'Leader', not just anyone is qualified to command us!"

In that instant.

Gu Mingxun's old face uncontrollably turned red.

Am I being despised?

Then.

The deputy general's heart surged with anger.

Damn foreigners, dare to mock a Xuan Master!

Outside the window.

The two flower micas sank into the water and quickly disappeared.

Gu Mingxun stared at the water surface, filled with shame and anger.

After a while.

"Buzz~"

The communication Xuan device in the deputy general's arms suddenly vibrated.

He reached out and grabbed the device, inputting a spiritual power, and immediately a message flashed through his mind.

Gu Mingxun glanced in the direction of the Spirit Flame Lotus Island and muttered in a very low voice, "Cheng, the inspector, actually went to the flower mica's nest alone?"

This was the latest message sent by his subordinate.

He snorted and maliciously speculated, "Aren't you afraid that the flower micas will suddenly turn against you and take you as a sacrifice?"

Gu Mingxun's dissatisfaction still lingered, and he murmured softly, "The flower mica clan is treacherous, they cannot be allowed to stay in the war zone for long."

Unconsciously.

The deputy general's position shifted once again.

*

At this moment.

Inside the flower mica nest.

Not only was Cheng Han not "placed" on the altar, but he also gained a great benefit, a benefit that even the Xuan Inspector coveted.

Just five minutes into the ceremony.

Hundreds of flower micas suddenly started singing praises.

"Yiya... Yila..."

"Heihei... Heiha..."

Although their pretty faces were full of piety, the songs sung in baby language were so cute that it made people's scalps tingle.

At this moment.

The Mother Goddess Haibei in the center of the altar emitted a stronger blue light, dyeing the entire cavity blue.

"Yiya!"

The leader, Water Lotus, shouted loudly, holding the bone staff with both hands and forcefully striking the shell.

"Dong!"

The sound was like a bell tolling.

The next second.

Something strange happened.

"Buzz!"

The divine object trembled violently and then slightly opened.

A highly condensed blue aura flowed out from the shell, transforming into a lifelike blue jellyfish.

This thing was about the size of a palm and looked like a flower.

About the size of a palm.

Water Lotus turned her gaze to Cheng Han and waved her bone staff, saying in a low voice, "Yah!"

The blooming jellyfish swelled up and swam towards Cheng Han.

Cheng Han was stunned.

The All-Knowing Eye suddenly transmitted a message, letting him understand the true identity of the jellyfish—the Mother Goddess Flower.

It had two functions.

First.

The target who obtained this item would instantly understand the language and writing of the flower micas.

This was undoubtedly one of the purposes of the leader inviting Cheng Han to participate in the ceremony.

After all, it was quite embarrassing for a leader to not be able to communicate smoothly with their own clan.

Second.

After integrating the Mother Goddess Flower into the soul, it could greatly enhance spiritual power.

Honestly.

If Gu Mingxun witnessed this scene, he would surely be speechless.

He was eagerly trying to establish a relationship with the flower micas, but ended up with a cold shoulder.

Inspector Cheng, on the other hand, casually came to visit, and not only did the flower micas welcome him with great ceremony, but also offered him a great benefit.

People are really incomparable.
