Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 3: Establishing a Territory: The Sea

Name: Meng Zheng
[Race]: Merman

[Identity]: Mermaid royal family
[Rank]: Yellow Rank 3 (Bloodline Fusion Progress 1%)
[Kung Fu]: The Mermaid Sea Control Scripture (Xuanpin)

【Talent】: Darling of the Sea

You are the son of the sea. As long as you are in the water, the probability of encountering danger is greatly reduced, favorable factors are greatly increased, and the probability of marine natural disasters is reduced.

[Talent]: Majesty of the Mermaid King
As the next Mermaid King, you are born with supreme majesty. All underwater creatures of lower rank than you will be intimidated by your majesty.

[Talent Spells]: Water Affinity, Wave Shield (unusable), Tide Control (unusable), Poseidon's Wrath (unusable), Ocean Guardian (unusable).

At this time, Meng Zheng's body was covered with a dense layer of black scales, which looked extremely thick and strong.

The fingertips of both hands are sharp, and there is a layer of transparent film between the fingers, which is very similar to the jade of a frog. When he waves his hands, he can stir up thousands of waves, as if the surrounding water is responding to his every move.

Meng Zheng knew that this was the effect of the water affinity in the innate spell.

As a mermaid, he naturally possesses various abilities to control water. His affinity with water can greatly increase the power of Meng Zheng's water-based spells.

He could use water bombs, water guns, water arrows, and water knives at will, as if they were naturally imprinted in Meng Zheng's mind.

Looking down, the legs had disappeared and turned into a black fish tail. The tail was extremely slender, very much like a dragon's tail, with fish-like fins at the end, which was agile and beautiful. With a slight swing of the tail, it could fly very far.

After transforming into a mermaid, Meng Zheng felt that he possessed infinite power, his mind was agile, and his various reaction abilities also improved significantly.

According to Meng Zheng's estimation, although the degree of blood fusion is only 1% and the strength is only Yellow Rank Level 3, even so, with just a casual claw, he can easily kill dozens of his human selves without any pressure.

This transformation technique is not just a technique of transformation in the traditional sense, but it changes everything from the body to the soul. Now Meng Zheng is a real mermaid, and a royal mermaid with terrifying bloodline power.

Meng Zheng, who was supposed to be a human, now possesses the mermaid transformation technique. As long as he gradually integrates the bloodline abilities of the Mermaid King in the future, he will sooner or later become a Xuan-level powerhouse without any bottlenecks.

It is worthy of being a gift package for novices given by the system, its functions are powerful.

It prevented countless weak humans from being hastily killed at the very beginning due to physical problems at the hands of the drastically changed natural environment and terrifying predators. Although it cannot be called invincible, it also has basic survival ability.

The Eternal World is simply too vast, and it incorporates too many strange and powerful races. Those species that are naturally powerful are still okay.

For example, mermaids are born with spiritual power and possess a variety of innate abilities. When the blood concentration reaches a certain level, they will also comprehend innate magical powers. Their potential is incomparable to that of ordinary creatures.

But it is too unfriendly for humans. If the geographical location of birth is a little bad, they may not even be able to establish a territory, and it will end directly due to environmental problems.

Meng Zheng is the most powerful royal mermaid of the mermaid clan. His bloodline ability is extremely powerful. He only needs to transfer the skills and stimulate the bloodline to gradually possess the abilities of the mermaid clan.

"Great, great, a great start. It will be easy to achieve hegemony!" After looking up and down the attribute panel several times, Meng Zheng was very excited.

Without looking at the panel attributes, he swung his tail and quickly went downstream.

His goal is to find an area with sufficient development potential, expand his territory, and develop quickly. Any delay may cause him to fall behind others.

Meng Zheng didn't believe that he was the only one who could obtain such a powerful race and talent. There were so many talented people in the world. If he wanted to become the ultimate winner, he would have a long way to go!
I don’t know how long I swam. When Meng Zheng began to feel a little tired, the river finally merged into a huge lake. The lake was so huge that Meng Zheng couldn’t see the end even after swimming for a long time.

Why can we be sure that this is a lake?

Because when Meng Zheng just entered the lake, the system prompt sounded.

"Watch! Congratulations to player Meng Zheng for entering [Tianyu Lake]."

"It's terrible. Any lake in the Eternal World is so vast and boundless." Feeling the vastness and depth of this lake, Meng Zheng was deeply moved.

According to Meng Zheng's current perception, the depth is already more than one hundred meters, but even so, it is still on the edge, and he doesn't know how deep the central area is.

"However, such a large lake is definitely enough for early development. Once our power expands, we can continue looking for the ocean!" Meng Zheng was very satisfied after carefully looking at the surrounding environment.

The ocean was naturally the first choice. Not only was development unrestricted in the ocean, but it also offered abundant resources. For Meng Zheng, it was a destination he must reach in the future. However, in today's Eternal World, dangers abounded, and Meng Zheng encountered terrifying monsters and demonic beasts more than once along the way.

Some monsters, just passing by, can bring about an infinite pressure, frightening Meng Zheng so much that he quickly moves away. If he continues swimming like this, he might have made a fortune on the way before he even reaches the sea!

After searching for a long time, Meng Zheng finally decided to establish his own territory three hundred miles to the left of the confluence of the river and the lake.

This lake is so huge that there are many creatures at the bottom of the lake, and there are also large schools of ferocious carnivorous fish.

Although Meng Zheng transformed into a royal merman and possessed the strength of the third level of yellow grade, it was still not enough in this vast lake.

The closer they get to the center of the lake, the stronger the monster groups they encounter. It is too dangerous for Meng Zheng now.

In the early stage, it is safer to choose a place near the lake to develop slowly. You can't go wild now.

When your strength develops in the future, you can slowly move towards the center of the lake. After occupying the entire Tianyu Lake, you can then look for the direction of the sea!
After swimming forward for a while, they arrived at a place where the water flowed slowly and there were no dangerous creatures around. Meng Zheng took out a white shell and said, "This is it. Let's establish our territory!"

boom! ! !
A blue light flashed, and the shell sank to the bottom of the lake in an instant. In the blink of an eye, a coral base supporting the shell rose up.

The base is made entirely of coral, and the white shells, which are almost two meters long, shine brightly, like a beautiful work of art.

As the shell slowly opened, a ball of light floated and spun inside.

"Ding! Congratulations, Lord Meng Zheng, you have successfully established your own territory. Please name your territory!"

"sea!"

Meng Zheng had already thought of the name of the territory while on the road.

Speaking of mermaids, Meng Zheng thought of a poem, "The moon is bright over the sea, and the pearls are in tears; the sun is warm over Lantian, and the jade is smoking." This poem describes mermaids, so he decided to name it Canghai.

"Ding! The territory has been named successfully, and the Canghai tribe has been established successfully!"

"Ding! To help the lord develop quickly, I'm giving you: 18 mermaids."

"Ding! To help the lord develop quickly, we're giving away the following buildings: 5 Mermaid Huts, 1 Mermaid Hatchery Pool."

"Ding! The new lord's protection shield has been activated. You have ten days of protection. Please develop your territory as quickly as possible, build formations, and improve the strength of your troops."

Another series of ding-ding sounds were heard, and five light balls with grass nest patterns and a light ball that looked like a bathtub lined up and flew out of the shell.

Then, 18 mermaid light balls with dragon tails in their hands formed a string and shot out one by one at high speed. They stopped in front of Meng Zheng and drifted with the current.

Meng Zheng knew that as long as he moved his mind, these light balls would shatter and turn into solid entities.

Before Meng Zheng could react, there was another burst of strong light, and a three-meter-high and five-meter-wide coral hut appeared where the big shell had originally been, protecting the shell.

This coral hut is made of red coral, which is thick and strong, and it is obvious that it cannot be easily destroyed.

"There are special houses protecting the core of the territory. The system is quite humane!" Looking at the coral hut, Meng Zheng was a little surprised.

If the territory light ball is exploded, then the territory will be directly removed from the list.

Therefore, the system provides players with a special building protection to avoid the core being destroyed in the early stages due to lack of protective power before it develops.

This coral hut looks very solid. It would be impossible to break into it without some effort.

But in fact, it is also useless. Once the enemy arrives here, the territory is basically finished. A few more houses can only delay it for a little longer.

Looking at the core information of the territory, a ray of light flashed, and the attribute panel of the territory appeared.
