Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 199 Tiger Gar

Especially the abyss a thousand meters below, it is not a good place.

You know, there are a large number of monster groups living in a lake ditch of only seven or eight hundred meters.

It took Jiang Tao one or two months to completely eliminate the lake ditch.

Thousands of meters below, the water pressure alone is enough to stop most living creatures.

Although the Lingze tribe is now located at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, it is developing rapidly.

But if you venture into the water thousands of meters below, the environment becomes extremely harsh. Not only is the water pressure immense, but the temperature is also extremely low, and light cannot reach it. It is a truly dark world. In this environment, many unknown and dangerous creatures survive. They have adapted to the extreme conditions of the abyss and have become the overlords there.

However, he did not back down because of this. Instead, he became more determined to find the Soul Coral.

"No problem, I will send people to look for this soul coral, don't worry!" No matter what, the significance of the soul coral to Canghai Village is unquestionable.

"Is there anything else?" After confirming the matter of the Soul Coral, Meng Zheng continued to ask.

"No more, Patriarch!" You Zheng shook his head.

"Well, then come with me to take a look at the Shuiling Guardian Array!" Meng Zheng said curiously after looking around.

The water spirit protection formation of Canghai Village is completely integrated into the coral city wall and various buildings in Canghai Village. From the outside, there is no trace of it at all.

However, a blue film always appears in the Bi Bo Dao Water Spirit Guarding Array, and the surrounding fish are not affected by the weak water field and can easily touch the existence of the water film. This surprised Meng Zheng a little.

You Zheng nodded. He was well-versed in the operation and effectiveness of the Water Spirit Guardian Formation and was happy to demonstrate it to Meng Zheng. "Clan leader, please come this way."

You Zheng led Meng Zheng through the rice fields and headed towards the edge of the water spirit protection formation.

Before they arrived, Hong Lei suddenly made a low roar, stopping Meng Zheng and You Cheng's activities.

Looking up, I saw Hong Lei's eyes were fixed on a wave on the water not far away.

There, a slight abnormal flow of water caught Meng Zheng's attention, as if something was approaching.

Meng Zheng became alert and immediately signaled Hong Lei to stay vigilant.

As the fluctuations gradually became clearer, a figure covered with emerald green scales slowly emerged. It was a slender water snake, quietly approaching the edge of the rice field.

There was a greedy gleam in its eyes, and it was obviously interested in the green rice in the rice field.

"Thunder, get ready!" Meng Zheng ordered in a low voice. At the same time, his spiritual power surged quietly, ready to deal with any possible emergencies at any time.

However, You Zheng seemed relatively calm. He gently patted Hong Lei's body, signaling him to stay calm.

"Chief, have you forgotten the power of our Shuiling Guardian Formation?" You Zheng said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.

Meng Zheng's heart moved, and he calmed down and carefully observed the gradually approaching water snake. He saw that it was getting closer and closer, almost touching the edge of the water spirit protection formation.

Just as the water snake was about to touch the Water Spirit Guardian Formation, a faint blue light suddenly flickered on its surface. The moment it touched the barrier, it felt as if a powerful force suddenly repelled it. It tumbled several times in the water before finally falling helplessly to the bottom of the lake, its eyes filled with fear and confusion.

"See, Clan Leader? This is the magic of our Water Spirit Guardian Formation," You Zheng explained. "Not only can it defend against powerful enemies from outside, it can also automatically sense and repel approaching threats, ensuring the safe growth of our Bibo Rice."

Just as the two were talking, Hong Lei suddenly let out another low roar, and his eyes were once again locked on another wave on the water surface.

Meng Zheng and You Zheng immediately became alert and looked in the direction Hong Lei was looking.

Beneath the water, a group of dark shadows were rapidly approaching. Their figures loomed in the water, numerous and menacing. Meng Zheng's brow furrowed, as he could sense the intense hostility emanating from these shadows.

"It seems that we have guests coming." Meng Zheng said in a deep voice, gathering spiritual power in his hands, ready to fight.

Not far away, the frogmen who were on patrol also hurried over.

"My lord!" The frogmen warriors saluted Meng Zheng in unison, raised their spears, and began to fight in full battle formation.

You Zheng, standing by, seemed somewhat helpless: "These guys are here again, there's really nothing we can do."

When the dark shadows finally surfaced and revealed their true appearance, Meng Zheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It turned out to be a group of huge tiger-striped gar, each about one meter long, covered with colorful tiger stripes, shimmering with light, and looking particularly agile when swimming in the water.

But at this moment, their eyes were full of greed and desire, and they were obviously attracted by the blue rice.

"Tiger-striped gar?" Meng Zheng looked at You Zheng in confusion. "Aren't these guys supposed to be well-behaved? Why would they come to us?"

You Zheng shook his head helplessly. "Chief, you don't know. Tiger gar enjoys growing aquatic plants. The rare rice variety, Bibo Rice, is an irresistible temptation for them. Therefore, ever since we started expanding the Bibo Rice plantation, these guys have been coming over every once in a while, trying to steal some."

"Oh! There is such a situation!" Meng Zheng became a little interested and looked at the group of tiger gar outside with great interest.

I saw this group of tiger-striped gars surrounding the green rice fields and constantly hovering around the water spirit protection formation.

From time to time, it would spit out two water arrows to attack the blue membrane, testing whether it could enter.

Obviously, they had suffered a lot of losses and knew that they could not directly collide with the thin blue film in front of them.

The tiger-striped damselfish wandered outside the water spirit protection formation, swimming up and down, constantly probing around the blue membrane.

During this process, Meng Zheng noticed that these damselfish were very smart and very different from ordinary wild monsters. Sometimes they would nod at each other and communicate something, which made him feel a little confused.

"You Zheng, what are they doing?" Meng Zheng asked in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the group of damselfish.

You Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Chief, tiger gar are famously clever and cunning. They can grow aquatic plants and algae, developing a recyclable aquaculture system. They also drive away organisms that eat their crops. They possess a very good spiritual nature."

"So smart." Meng Zheng was a little impressed.

"Why don't we let the fish herders tame them and let them look after the rice paddies for us?"
