Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 174 Lingze Tribe
"Kun? How's its combat power?" Meng Zheng was a little confused about the seven-colored spiritual Kun that Yanze mentioned.

Kun is a legendary creature. Not to mention its strength, its size alone is earth-shattering. It is definitely not something that Canghai Village can provoke.

Facing Meng Zheng's doubts, Yan Ze smiled and waved his hands: "Chief, you misunderstood. Although this Seven-Colored Spirit Kun has the word Kun in its name, it is actually a species of fish. The main reason is that after a Seven-Colored Spirit Kun reaches adulthood, its size will increase a thousandfold. That is why it is called Kun."

"I see," Meng Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, his worries slightly reduced. "Do we have the ability to tame the young Seven-Colored Spirit Kun now?"

Yan Ze's expression was solemn. This kind of spiritual fish was precious and rare, so taming it was naturally quite difficult. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Chief, the seven-colored spiritual Kun is a spiritual fish, and its intelligence and perception far surpass those of ordinary fish. To tame it, not only does it require superb skills and experience, but also requires providing an environment and resources suitable for its growth."

Seeing Meng Zheng's serious expression, Yan Ze smiled and said, "But the seven-colored spirit Kun are still young after all. I am still confident that I can tame them. Moreover, since they can survive in the coral reefs, it means that the environment there is good. I can graze fish there in the future."

Hearing Yanze's answer, Meng Zheng's worries eased slightly. The preciousness of the Seven-Colored Spirit Kun was undeniable, and he understood the difficulty of taming such a spiritual fish. But since Yanze was confident, he was willing to lend his support and trust.

Meng Zheng smiled and patted Yan Ze's shoulder. "Since you are confident, then go for it. The tribe will fully support you. You can deploy both human and material resources at will."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of gratitude flashed in Yanze's eyes. He was fully aware of the importance of this mission and the responsibility he shouldered. So, he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Chief, for your trust. I will do my best to tame these seven-colored spirit Kun for the tribe."

Meng Zheng nodded, then turned to look at Chi Yu: "Chi Yu, you must also fully cooperate with Yan Ze to ensure that he can successfully complete the task. At the same time, you must continue to pay attention to the development of the branch tribe to ensure that everything is on the right track."

Hearing this, Chi Yu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, clan leader, I will definitely do my job well."

Meng Zheng nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand, motioning for Yan Ze to go over and prepare.

Then he said to Chi Yu: "This time I went out and found a cave containing spiritual springs. Your branch tribe can also have a spiritual mine!"

When Chi Yu heard Meng Zheng's words, an expression of disbelief and surprise appeared on his face. Possessing a spiritual mine was a symbol of great wealth and strength for any tribe.

This means that their tribe will be able to have a steady supply of spiritual power resources, whether used for cultivation or other purposes, which will have a profound impact on the development of the tribe.

"Really? Chief, our branch tribe is also going to own the spiritual mine?" There was a tremor in Chi Yu's voice, she could hardly believe her ears.

Meng Zheng smiled and nodded, confirming, "Yes, I've found the cave. It contains not only a spiritual spring, but also very likely other precious spiritual objects. However, the situation there is quite complicated. There are a large number of Blood Shadow Demon Sharks, even a Profound-level Blood Shadow Demon Shark. Therefore, we need to be fully prepared and organize manpower to mine."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu's expression became serious.

Although he didn't know what the Blood Shadow Demon Shark was, when he heard the word "Xuanjie", Chi Yu knew that it would definitely be a big trouble.

"Chief, what should we do? Do we need to ask for help from the village?" Chi Yu asked.

Meng Zheng shook his head and said, "Not yet. I've sent a message back to Canghai Village, asking Li Gen and Gulugua to bring people here. At the same time, I will also mobilize our elite warriors. Until the reinforcements arrive, try to keep a low profile and don't alert the enemy."

Chi Yu nodded, indicating that she understood. She knew that the most important thing at this time was to remain calm and rational, and not fall into danger because of momentary greed.

"Okay, don't think too much. Leave this spiritual mine to me. Just develop your branch tribe well!" Meng Zheng waved his hand to let Chi Yu relax a little.

Chi Yu smiled embarrassedly: "By the way, Chief, what is the name of this sub-tribe? It's not good to keep calling it sub-tribe!"

Meng Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "You're right, we should give our branch tribe a name. What do you think would be a good name?"

Naming has always been Meng Zheng's weak point, and he really doesn't want to waste his brain on it. Since Chi Yu brought it up, it means that she had already thought of it.

Meng Zheng looked at Chi Yu, smiling and waiting for her answer.

Sure enough, Chi Yu did not disappoint him. There was a gleam in her eyes, and she seemed to be confident.

"Chief, I think we can name this branch tribe 'Lingze Tribe'." Chi Yu's voice was filled with anticipation and pride. "This name not only reflects our tribe's close connection with the spiritual spring and spiritual objects, but also implies that the tribe will be like the water of the spiritual spring, benefiting all things and prospering."

Meng Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded approvingly. He had to admit that Chi Yuqi's name was indeed very appropriate and profound.

The name Lingze Tribe not only fits their current actual situation of discovering the spiritual spring, but also embodies their beautiful vision for the future development of the tribe.

"Lingze Tribe, what a great name!" Meng Zheng exclaimed sincerely, "Chi Yu, you're truly brilliant. This name is decided."

Chi Yu smiled and nodded. She was very happy about Meng Zheng's affirmation.

"Is there any new news? How are Ling Pu and the others?" Meng Zheng asked again.

As soon as Meng Zheng finished speaking, Chi Yu shook her head, a trace of worry on her face. "We haven't heard from Ling Pu and the others yet. However, according to the plan, they should be fighting the enemy on their respective battlefields."

"Well, none of these battles can be resolved in a short period of time," Meng Zheng mused, "especially the shadow mermaids Ling Pu faces. They excel at concealment and surprise attacks, making them quite a challenge to fight."

Chi Yu nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Shadow Mermaid is indeed a tough opponent. However, Lingpu and the Shadow Mermaid troops have been rigorously trained and should be able to deal with it."

Meng Zheng nodded slightly and asked, "What about Jiang Tao and Chi Yan? Have you received any news?"

Chi Yu shook his head again: "Not yet. However, Jiang Tao's Raging Waves War Guards should have no problem dealing with the Cannon Shrimp. Although the Cannon Shrimp have strong offensive power, their defense and mobility are relatively weak. As for the Blazing Flame and Red Flame Dragon Guards, although the Sea Wolf Clan is numerous, their individual strength is not strong, so they should be able to handle it."
