Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 173 Colorful Spirit Kun
"Moreover," Meng Zheng continued, his eyes gleaming with thought, "this spiritual spring water not only attracts a large number of blood shadow demon sharks, but its high quality may even give rise to even more precious spiritual creatures."

There were so many blood-shadow demon sharks that they almost filled the entire cave, but the spiritual spring water continued to flow.

This is a very abnormal thing. As a spiritual spring, there must be a spiritual mine in this place.

The quality of the spiritual ore must be at least intermediate level before a spiritual spring can be produced.

Not to mention, in addition to the ordinary Blood Shadow Demon Shark, there is also a terrifying Profound Level Blood Shadow Demon Shark. A being of this level would definitely look down on such a small amount of spiritual spring.

Since it is willing to stay here, it means that there are other things here besides the spiritual spring.

"Sir, what should we do next?" another guard asked anxiously.

Meng Zheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's go! We can't stay here any longer. Go back and bring the army over. At the same time, send a message back to Canghai Village and have Li Gen and Gulugua bring their men over."

With the emergence of the Xuan class, the danger here has far exceeded expectations.

With just a few of them, it would be a pipe dream to seize the treasure in this cave full of blood-shadow demon sharks.

So, Meng Zheng and his group quickly left the cave and returned to the branch tribe. They just came back.

Chi Yu came over and said, "Chief, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Meng Zheng saw Chi Yu's anxious but concerned expression, and smiled and comforted him: "Chi Yu, don't worry, I just went to explore an important place, and some discoveries need to be dealt with immediately."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu's expression eased slightly, but he still asked curiously, "Oh? Chief, what did you find? Also, the recent development of the branch tribe is very good. I want to report to you in detail."

Meng Zheng nodded and motioned Chi Yu to speak first.

Chi Yu then began to report on the development of the sub-tribe: "Since the last battle, the morale of our sub-tribe warriors has been high, and everyone is working hard to speed up the development of the tribe.

In addition, I organized some collection teams to go to the surrounding coral reefs and aquatic forests to collect resources to support the development of the tribe."

Meng Zheng listened to Chi Yu's report and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Chi Yu, you've done a great job," Meng Zheng praised. "The morale of the warriors is high, and the tribe is developing rapidly. This is all thanks to you."

When Chi Yu heard Meng Zheng's praise, a humble and satisfied smile appeared on her face. She said softly, "This is all due to everyone's efforts. I just did what I should do. And, Patriarch, I have good news to tell you."

Meng Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh? What good news?"

Chi Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement. "During our recent exploration, our collection team discovered a hidden coral reef area. The resources there are exceptionally rich. Not only are there precious medicinal herbs and minerals, but there's also a strange fish we've never seen before. Their scales sparkle with a rainbow of colors in the sun. According to the report, this fish possesses spiritual energy."

Meng Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Fish with colorful scales? Has the fish herder gone there?"

Chi Yu shook his head and replied, "Not yet, Chief. Because the place where this strange fish was discovered is relatively hidden, and there are some dangerous sea beasts around, our collection team did not explore in depth. They just observed the periphery and came back to report."

Meng Zheng nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Fish herders are born with a strong ability to seek benefits and avoid harm. Let him look for them. It would be best if we can bring this school of fish back." A new school of fish is of great significance to Canghai Village.

Currently, there are only seven or eight species of fish in the entire Canghai Village, and the most precious ones are only two or three.

If a new school of fish can be harvested this time, the fishery resources of Canghai Village will be greatly enriched, which will have a profound impact on the economic development and living standards of the entire tribe.

"Who is the fisherman here?" Meng Zheng asked Chi Yu directly.

It is not easy to tame this kind of spiritual fish. If the fish herder is too weak, it may alarm the fish and let these colorful-scaled fish escape.

It would be better to summon Mu Yu over and let her handle it properly.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu frowned slightly and then said, "Chief, the fish herder of the branch tribe is named Yan Ze. Although he is not as experienced as Mu Yu, he is gifted and has a unique perception of fish schools."

"Yan Ze? This name is somewhat familiar to me." Meng Zheng thought of something. Isn't this one of the first six fish herder apprentices?

I didn't expect that I have now become an official fish herder and was sent here to serve as a fish herder.

"Call him over. He should still be in the tribe, right?" Meng Zheng asked uncertainly.

Fish herders are born to wander. They are either looking for fish or sending fish back to schools. They rarely stay in the same place.

This is the case with Mu Yu from Canghai Village. If she had not been notified in advance that she would stay, even Meng Zheng would not have been able to find her.

Hearing this, Chi Yu smiled and nodded, saying, "Chief, Yan Ze is indeed still in the tribe. He just recently completed a fish herding mission and came back to rest for a while. I'll go get him right away."

After saying that, Chi Yu turned and left. A moment later, he walked in with a thin young man with sharp eyes. This young man was none other than Yan Ze. He was dressed in simple fisherman's clothes, with a small fish basket hanging around his waist. He looked energetic.

"Chief, are you looking for me?" Yan Ze asked respectfully as he entered the door.

Meng Zheng looked at Yanze with a smile and said, "Yanze, I heard that you have become an official fish herder. That's great. We asked you to come here this time because we have an important task for you to complete."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ze's expression grew serious. He nodded and said, "Chief, please speak."

Meng Zheng then told Yan Ze about the discovery of the school of colorful-scaled fish and emphasized the importance of this mission.

"What kind of fish do you think this is?" Meng Zheng asked curiously. As fish herders, they basically recognize most fish. Even if there is an unfamiliar one, they can make a judgment based on the characteristics and properties of the fish species.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ze frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, quickly reviewing the characteristics of various fish in his mind.

Soon, as if he had thought of something, Yanze said excitedly, "Chief, based on my knowledge of fish, this colorful scale fish is likely a very rare spiritual fish—the fry of the colorful spiritual Kun! When a colorful spiritual Kun grows up, it is huge in size, with scales as brilliant as a rainbow, and possesses powerful spiritual power. It is a very precious fish."
