The smell of the ocean was lingering in the air.
The smell mainly came from the corpses of fish and sea creatures on the ground, as well as some … four-limbed creatures.
So far, Lin had called them 'seaweed people'.
Because their bodies were covered in seaweed, their bodies and faces could not be seen clearly. There was a large number of them because this was their … village.
They used a large number of fish bones to build houses of different sizes. Through the gaps between the bones, some coral skeletons and large conch furniture could be seen in the houses.
Every resident here was busy with all kinds of work. Some were shells on the ground, some were planting plants beside the houses, and some were raising a large group of sea cockroaches and other creatures.
Some seemed to have nothing to do as they wandered the streets. When they saw the spy, they would pounce … and be poked to the ground by the spy.
Lin felt that this place looked … quite normal.
At least the creatures here formed a more normal ecology. The seaweed people here were all working hard to survive.
They were not as … ferocious as the ones they encountered before. At least, most of them were not interested in attacking the spy. Instead, they continued with what they were doing.
However, Lin was interested in attacking them.
The spy was slowly approaching a seaweed person. The seaweed person was feeding a large group of sea cockroaches in front of its house. The sea cockroaches were kept in cages made of fish bones. The seaweed person did not notice the spy's approach at all.
At a distance of three meters, the spy extended his hair and slowly pierced the seaweed person's body. Then, he quickly pulled his hair back.
Then, the spy continued to approach the other seaweed people. Every time he approached, he would stab them once. Then … he would continue walking.
This was to test their memory. The first few that the spy encountered were mentally abnormal because they ate some … food made from organs.
In this fantasy space, the organs managed would synthesize a lot of food, such as the snacks mentioned above …
These foods would cause the creatures who ate too much to hallucinate and slowly cause the creatures to become abnormal. This also made it easier to …
'integrate' into this fantasy space.
However, most of the seaweed people in this village were normal because they did not eat food made from organs. Instead, they ate normal sea creatures.
Although the sea creatures here were occasionally mixed with some synthetic hallucinogenic food, almost all of them were safe.
In addition, the spy also wanted to confirm one thing … That was the fact that they knew how to build aircraft.
This village had such a … tradition. Every once in a while, they would build an aircraft and let many brave warriors who had been 'tested' board this aircraft to leave this place and explore the distance.
The village chief was the one who knew this tradition the best, so the spy came to the village chief's house …
The village chief's house looked different from others. It was mainly made of … whale bones. Between the huge ribs, there were many things like conch shells that blocked the gaps.
The entrance to the house was the whale's mouth. When the spy approached the house, a figure slowly walked out of the whale's mouth.
"…" This should be the village chief. He looked just like the other seaweed villagers, covered in seaweed.
However, it was wearing a large cone shell on its head, which looked like a crown.
"Are you from the outside?" The village chief asked the spy … in a very rare Ershi language.
Because the spy had studied various Ershi languages in the academy, he could understand it.
"There are very few visitors from the outside now. How is the outside world?" The village chief said, "We … have always wanted to go out. Can you understand me?"
"Yes," the spy replied.
"That's great!" The village chief suddenly became very excited. "Then we need to talk!"
Leading the spy into the house, Lin saw that there were oil burning lamps and the ground was covered with the skin of some sea creatures as a carpet.
After the village chief brought the spy in, he suddenly took off the seaweed all over his body. The spy realized that he was not a seaweed villager.
Instead, he was a tall and big Ershi Min.
"We need to have a good talk …"
This guy, who somehow became the village chief of the Shanghai Algae People, told the spy a lot of things. Although during the conversation, it showed some signs of not wanting to trust the spy because the spy was very young, this emotion was quickly replaced by a helpless emotion.
He seemed to want to find a partner, even if the spy was so young …
It turned out that this village chief was an Ershi Min who accidentally wandered into the fantasy space.
However, he did not go to too many places. When he approached an area that looked like an ocean, he was suddenly swept into the water by the waves. After that, he came to this strange place and met the seaweed villagers.
At first, he was attacked by the seaweed villagers, but he managed to escape. Then, he found a way to disguise himself as a seaweed villager and sneaked into the village … and lived with them.
After slowly understanding the life of the seaweed villagers, his life became better and better. Recently, he even fought for the position of village chief.
However, during this period, something happened.
The village chief said that he used to be a linguist and knew many languages, but after living here for a long time, he found that … for some reason, he slowly forgot most of the languages he knew. He only remembered a very rare language.
This language was only understood by a few thousand Ershi villagers. In a world where more than ten billion Ershi Min lived, this language was indeed … rare.
Therefore, the village chief would occasionally see other Ershi Min coming here. He wanted to cooperate with them, but unfortunately, the language was different. The Ershi Min did not understand what he was saying, and the village chief did not understand what they were saying. Moreover, the Ershi Min were usually terrified when they saw the seaweed villagers, so … nothing good ever happened.
This was the first time a spy walked in so calmly.
"So, what do you want to do?" asked the spy.
"Leave this place, of course," said the village chief. "This is a place where you will never see the light of day. All you can do here is look for food among the sea creatures' corpses and sleep. I don't want to stay here anymore."
