Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 200: Water Spirit Mermaid
"Chief, I've had this thought too, but these damselfish are very selfish and wild. Once we give them the rice, they'll think it's theirs, and we won't be able to harvest it later. Even if we force them to, they won't plant it here again. They'll move to a safer place."

"Have you discussed this with Mu Yu?" Meng Zheng's mind raced as he watched this group of tiger gar.

The Bi Bo Rice farming requires so many people that it takes up a lot of human resources in Canghai Village.

If he could find a way to tame this group of damselfish, then Meng Zheng would directly gain a group of farmers and be able to make full use of the manpower.

It can also open up more green rice fields and increase the food productivity of the territory.

You Zheng shook his head. "Not yet, Chief. It seems the fishermen have been busy lately. I've sent people to look for it several times, but they've always come up empty-handed. I'm just waiting for your help to solve the problem!"

Meng Zheng's eyes flickered, and he already had a plan in mind.

He turned to You Zheng and said, "I have my own arrangements for this matter. For the next period of time, you can give these damselfish some of the blue rice, but this blue rice needs to be kept alive and cannot be planted normally. Then we can find the nest of these damselfish and understand their habits. Then we can make a long-term plan."

You Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately understood Meng Zheng's intention. He nodded and said, "Chief, I understand. I will go prepare some dead rice and send frogmen to quietly track these damselfish and find their nest."

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "Remember, be careful and don't alarm them. Our goal now is to wait for an opportunity to subdue them, not to engage in conflict with them."

You Zheng took the order and left, while Meng Zheng continued to observe the group of tiger gar.

Since this group of damselfish can grow aquatic plants and algae and develop a breeding system, they must have a certain degree of intelligence and organizational ability.

If they can be tamed and used by Canghai Village, the problem of growing Bi Bo rice will be much easier.

At this moment, Hong Lei roared again, attracting the attention of Meng Zheng and You Cheng. Hong Lei's gaze was fixed on another location, where there seemed to be new movement.

Meng Zheng and You Qi followed Hong Lei's gaze and saw a huge figure slowly rising from under the water.

The figure was huge and bulky, covered with thick shell, and looked like a moving mountain.

"Chief, it's the giant tortoise. This guy has always coveted our blue rice," You Qi said calmly.

Meng Zheng's eyes were fixed on the giant turtle that was slowly rising, and he could feel the oppression brought by this behemoth.

The giant tortoise approached the water spirit protection formation, and the tiger-striped damselfish gathered here dispersed and retreated to a distance to watch quietly.

The giant tortoise opened its mouth and spewed out a thick column of water, directly impacting the water spirit protection formation. The moment the water column made contact with the blue membrane, there was a loud "bang" sound, stirring up ripples.

However, the Water Spirit Guardian Array was not damaged at all. The blue light continued to flash steadily, directly absorbing the power of the water column.

The giant tortoise was obviously not surprised by this result. It seemed that it had anticipated the toughness of the Water Spirit Guardian Formation, so it did not seem too depressed.

Instead, it continued to gather spiritual energy, its entire body radiating a gray light, clearly preparing a powerful attack. Just as Meng Zheng was about to make a move, the giant tortoise's strength was nearly reaching the Xuan level.

The Water Spirit Guardian Array might not be able to intercept such a high-intensity attack.

Unexpectedly, You Zheng stopped Meng Zheng again.
"Clan leader," You Zheng said quickly, "it's no problem. The Water Spirit Guardian Formation can handle it."

Meng Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then stopped and fixed his eyes on the giant turtle and the water spirit protective formation.

The gray light of the giant turtle became more and more dazzling, like a meteorite about to explode, condensing amazing power.

The Water Spirit Guardian Formation seemed to sense this threat, the frequency of the blue light flashing began to increase, and the blue film became noticeably thicker.

"You Zheng, are you sure the Water Spirit Guardian Array can handle it on its own?" Meng Zheng couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Although he had trust in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried when facing such a powerful enemy.

You Zheng nodded, his expression remaining calm. "Clan leader, after Lord Cangyue's adjustments, the Water Spirit Guardian Formation has become even more powerful. While the giant tortoise's attacks are powerful, they can still be withstood. Furthermore, the formation can continuously absorb and transform these forces, recharging itself and further improving its overall endurance."

Meng Zheng's worries subsided slightly upon hearing this, and he focused even more intently on the battle before him. The giant tortoise's gray light had condensed to its peak, and with a deafening roar, the entire tortoise began to spin.

Then it slammed heavily onto the blue membrane of the Water Spirit Guardian Array. The moment the giant turtle made contact, the Water Spirit Guardian Array emitted a blue light, and a beautiful mermaid with a human body, a fish tail, silver hair and blue eyes emerged.

"Chief! This is the guardian spirit of the Shuiling Guardian Array, the Shuiling Mermaid!" You Zheng said excitedly. Obviously, he had been looking forward to seeing this scene for a long time.

"This is the guardian spirit of the Shuiling Guardian Array. It looks so much like Cangyue!" Meng Zheng couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The moment the water mermaid appeared, the entire space seemed to be illuminated by her beauty. Her skin was crystal clear, as if condensed from the purest water. Her silver hair flowed like a waterfall, and her blue eyes were deep and mysterious, as if she could see through everything in the world.

Her existence itself is a manifestation of the power of the formation. Facing the powerful impact of the giant turtle, the water mermaid raised her hands, and the blue light gathered in her hands, forming a blue shell, flowing with soft and powerful spiritual power fluctuations, as if containing the depth and vastness of the ocean.

The water mermaid waved her shell lightly, and it turned into a bright light, meeting the fierce impact of the giant turtle.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the light collided with the giant turtle's shell, stirring up layers of water waves.

Shells are like reefs in the sea. No matter how the waves hit them, they remain motionless.

Instead, the giant turtle's power was completely absorbed by its shell and converted into the energy of the formation, making the blue light even more dazzling.

Finally, the giant tortoise roared in pain, its huge body rolled in the water, and it was obvious that it had suffered a lot of trauma. A trace of fear flashed in its eyes.
After rolling several times, the giant tortoise finally stabilized its body.

It took a deep look at the water mermaid and the protective formation that was still flashing with blue light, and finally chose to retreat.
