Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 112 Heart of Flame
Three days passed in a flash, and Meng Zheng came to the trading shop again, wanting to see if there were any new players.

Just as Meng Zheng approached the trading floor, Crab Tyrant's huge body rushed out.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this big crab is covered with thorns and its metallic body looks bloated.

In fact, the speed was very fast. Before Meng Zheng could react, Crab Batian was about to hit him.

The patrolling sea yakshas who were following nearby were so frightened that they waved their tridents and gathered waves to attack Crab Tyrant.

Fortunately, when Crab Tyrant saw Meng Zheng, he had already inserted his thorny feet into the ground and forcibly stopped his charge.

"Meng Zheng! You came at the right time, another player appeared!" Xie Batian shouted to Meng Zheng excitedly.

Meng Zheng was delighted when he heard this and quickly asked, "Oh? Which player is it this time?"

Crab Tyrant shook off the thorns on his body and replied, "The one who showed up this time is called Flame Heart, and he sent a lot of messages."

Meng Zheng frowned, "Heart of Flame? Could it be a player with the Fire attribute? Can a player with the Fire attribute survive in Tianyu Lake?"

Crab Tyrant shook himself and said, "I don't know. I didn't reply to him and was just about to call you."

Meng Zheng nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

At this moment, on the display screen of the trading floor, a chat box was shaking constantly, and messages kept popping up.

"Hello, I'm Flame Heart. Do you have any resources suitable for fire attributes?"

"Hello, are you there?"

"This lord???"

Looking at the message from Flame Heart, Meng Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still replied to him.

"Hello, Lord Flameheart."

"Finally replied to me!" Flame Heart's message popped up quickly, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a response.

"Son of the Ocean? Are you the Lord of the Ocean?" Flame Heart was confused. This was clearly a lake.

Meng Zheng looked at Flame Heart's confusion, smiled, shook his head, and replied, "Lord Flame Heart, you misunderstood. I am the Lord of Tianyu Lake. Son of the Ocean is just a nickname of mine. Your name isn't your real name, is it?"

"Oh, that's true." He then asked impatiently, "Do you have any resources suitable for fire-attribute cultivation? I can exchange them with specialties from my territory."

Meng Zheng looked at the message from Flame Heart and replied helplessly, "I'm sorry, I don't have any fire-attributed resources, but I do have a fire-attributed sword. Do you need it?"

As Meng Zheng finished speaking, a message from Blazing Heart popped up almost instantly: "A sword with fire attributes? What attributes? Send it to us."

Meng Zheng directly sent the Flame Dagger's attribute effects over. Flame Heart replied shortly after: "This dagger is not suitable for me."

Meng Zheng looked at Flame Heart's reply and was not surprised. As long as they didn't go to land, the usefulness of this flaming dagger would be infinitely reduced.

When the tribe's level is raised in the future and it can be connected to the land, I believe it can be sold at a good price.

"Lord Flameheart, does your tribe have any specialties that you can trade with me?" Meng Zheng decided to take a look at the specialties of Flameheart's tribe.

Through the specialties of the territory, you can also intuitively understand some of the lord's situation.

For the time being, Meng Zheng would not reveal the Sea Spirit Bamboo and Jiao Xiao. Not only was Sea Spirit Bamboo in extremely high demand within the tribe, Meng Zheng had no plans to export it. Jiao Xiao required far too many resources, and the Canghai Tribe currently lacked the capacity to produce them.

Mermaid silk is not simply a product of silk weaving. The most important thing is that it requires the essence of water. Mermaid girls need to go to the lake every morning to collect the morning light and blend it into the essence of water.

In the evening, you need to collect the colorful dew that is blended with the essence of water.

After many times of continuous collection, it can finally be condensed into a water thread, which can be used to weave into a magical product such as mermaid silk.

Because the steps are too complicated and require the mermaid girl to risk floating to the surface of the lake, Meng Zheng has never planned to make mermaid silk. He will consider developing this specialty when he has enough manpower and protection capabilities in the future.

In response to Meng Zheng's question, Flame Heart seemed uninterested: "Our tribe doesn't have many resources, so we have no plans to sell them for the time being."

"It's okay, Lord Flameheart. When it comes to transactions, what matters is the willingness of both parties. Since you have no plans to sell it for the time being, we can cooperate again when we have the chance in the future." Meng Zheng replied with a smile.

Flame Heart also responded politely: "Okay, Lord Son of the Sea, I will definitely cooperate with you if there is a chance in the future."

From then on, the chat between them ended.

Meng Zheng was not surprised. Everyone was still in the development stage, and in fact, their resources were not much different. Unless they were extremely lucky and could meet the right trading partner, most people would basically be like this.

Although Meng Zheng wanted to chat more and find out more about the other party's situation.

However, this behavior can easily arouse others' disgust and have a negative effect, so in the end, it is better to stop talking and not ask any more questions.

As for why the other party didn't ask, I don't know whether he had the same concerns or he simply didn't think about it. This is not something Meng Zheng can consider.

Seeing Meng Zheng's silence, Xie Batian couldn't help but break the silence: "Meng Zheng, I'm about to prepare to evolve!"

Hearing this, Meng Zheng turned to look at Xie Batian, a hint of surprise and anticipation flashing in his eyes: "Oh? You're evolving? That's great! By then, your injuries should be healed!"

Crab Tyrant shook himself proudly, his metallic body gleaming beneath the glowing seaweed. "That's right, Meng Zheng! I've almost recovered. I've been eating large amounts of meat and metal minerals every day, and I feel my strength is gathering. Furthermore, you gave me a thousand Golden Spirit Stones, so I feel like I can shed my shell at any moment."

Meng Zheng nodded and told Crab Overlord to go back and rest and prepare for evolution.

Meng Zheng will deal with the next trading players himself.

Meng Zheng watched Crab Tyrant limping away from behind. He saw that her black shell had become even darker, and her body was covered with hideous thorns. Both her large claws and her thorny feet were covered with dense thorns.

The pincers and stinging feet that were broken earlier have long been covered by a thick shell, and no scars can be seen.

Meng Zheng put in a lot of effort to help Crab Tyrant and other black gold armored crabs recover quickly.

The Crab Tyrant alone consumes a lot of metal ore every day.

There are now hundreds of large crabs lying in the spring space, each of which needs metal ores and meat to eat, and the consumption is greatly increased.

If it weren't for the food provided by the monsters attacking the city, the Canghai tribe would probably have faced a real food crisis.

The Black Gold Iron Armor Crabs do not require much spiritual energy. As long as there is enough spiritual energy to restore the strength of the Black Gold Iron Armor Crabs, they can refine metal unscrupulously. Even without spiritual energy, they can slowly refine it over time.

In order to make them recover as quickly as possible, Meng Zheng threw them all directly into the spring space.
